STATE BAPTIST EYE CONVENTION SESSION THIS WEEK
GENERAL MISSIONARY BAPTIST
STATE CONVENTION IN FIRST
SESSION SINCE HUME'S Death
Leadership Faces Great Challenge

Greenville, Miss, July 22-The
eyes of Negro Baptist of Missis-
sippi were turned towards this
delta city this week where the Gen.
eral Missionary Baptist State Con-
vention is holding its first session
since the death of its widely known
leader, Rev. H. H. Hume, who had
served as President of the Conven-
ton for more than ten years be-
fore his sudden death last year.
The death of Rev. Hume called
to the Presidency, Rev. c. L. West
of Bolton, who will preside over
the convention, but also made it
necessary to elect President dur
ing this session.
Leading Ministers and laymen
see the sudden death of Rev. Hume
as posing a great challenge to
the leadership of the convention,
which has been at times sharply
divided over the issue of integra-
ton and civil rights, with Rev.

Hume, taking the conservative po-
sition.
The most important matter to
come before the session, as seen by
leading ministers and laymen is
the election of the new President.
While he has taken over the Presi-
dency since the death of Rev.
Hume, Rev. West has made no pub
lie announcement as to his candi-
dacy. There have however been
announcements by Rev. H. S. Jones,
of Jackson, and Rev. G. w. Spencer,
of Port Gibson, whom many leaders
ragard as a highly promising pros
pect for the presidency.
The. chief project of the annual
convention is raising and allocat-
ing the money for the support of
Natchez College, the future of
which many see is at stake in the
new challenge facing the leader
