, Tho Pleasantest of All.
It would seem that nature had done
her best to make yesterdiy, the last
day of the Sunday Sohodl Convention,
the pleasantest ol all. The morning
sun hid its too ardent glances of the
day before behind a veil of fleecy
clouds that tempered its rays; a soft
wind came up from the southwest, that
brought healing .on its wings, arid a
refreshing coolness that was very grate
ful. True the dust was thick on the
bosom of mother earth but the gentle
breezes did not stir it too violently,
and the flowers never looked more
beautiful. In the early morning hours
before the hour of the meeting of the
convention, crowds of ladies and gen
tlemen strolled past the flower gardens
that are so beautiful about the city,
and breathed in the beauty and
aroma of the smiles of God’s good
ness.
The invocation services of the open
ing hour of the convention were very
solemn and impressive.
The conference of Sunday school
superintendents, led by Rev. William
Shaw of Atlanta, was a pleasant inter
change of views and opinions among
the superintendents.
The address of Rev. L. P. Winter
on the subject, "Some of the dangers
of our present Sunday School meth
ods,” came after the superintendents
conference. The address was an elo
quent appeal for the old land mares of
and District—Dr. S. A. White, Sa
vannah. /jraHH|R
3rd District—J. B. Forster, Boston.
4th District— J. S. Davis, Albariy.
5th District—H. A. Crittenden,
Shellntan. . • .
6th District—J. W. Wheatley,
Americus.
The delegates are authorized to ap
point their own alternates. Mr. Rep-
pa rd then oflerei the following resolu
tions of thanks to the railroad compa
nies, the Methodist church and pastor
of this city, Mrs. M. G. Kennedy and
the other speakers, and to the people
of Thomasville generally, which were
heartily adopted:
Resolved, That to the different rail
road companies who have so generous
ly granted this Convention a reduction
of rates, and by so doing, have ena
bled us to secure so large an attend
ance at this Convention, we return
our grateful thanks.
Resolved, That to Mrs. M. G. Ken
nedy, who has come so far, to gladden
and cheet 1 us with her talent and ricK
experience in Sunday School work,
and to the other speakers who have so
kindly come tj inspire us with greater
zeal in the Master’s service, we tender
our heart?elt thanks and pledge them
our warmest lovet

the latners, lest they be lost sight of iri
the methods now employed in the
Sunday school of the land.
This appeal was not made in the
spirit of a pessimi t nor in obedience
to the instincts that are supposed to
acfuate the old fogy; the speaker fully
realized the-good that can be brougl
oat by theimprovfd methods, amTotl
suggested possible dangers.
The Teachers Conference Conver
zatione, led by Mrs. M. G. Kennedy,
editor of the Baptist Sunday School
Publication Society, was the next event
on the prograft. Bits of paper were
scattered about the audience, on which
questions were written andjdten passed
to Mrs. Kennedy. These questions
covered a wide range of subjects and
the answers were eminently satisfac
toiy.
Some of them were amusing To
illustrate: One man wanted to know
who Cain’s wife was, and another one
was anxious to find out when Moses
was buried.
In reply to tho last question, Mrs.
Kennedy replied that if the Lord had
wanted the public at Moses funeral
he would have invited them.
Many good suggestions were made
by this bright, brainy woman, that
will prove useful to the teachers pres
ent. At the close of her talk, the con
rention rose and sang "Sweet Bye and
Bye.
The Committee on Nominalionsnnd
Resolutions, then reported the names
of District Superintendents and Secre
taries, which we giyg below:
3d District—Counties. — Colquitt,
Decatur, Miller, Mitchell, Thomas
and Brooks.

of Waycross, "Lessons from life, *and
how to teach the children," was well
received by the audience.
Before 4:15 o’clock, the hour ap
pointed for the Sunday school child
ren’s mass meeting, the church was
filled with happy bright faced children,
bearing beautiful bouquets which were
made an important factor in the pleas
ant exercises that followed.
These exercises were made up of
songs interspersed with short talks
from Moses Speer, Vice-President of
the association, Rev, H. K. Walker,
J. M. Freeman and J. W. Wheatley.
The concluding address to the
children was delivered by R. B. Rep-
pard. He captured the little fellows
at once, and their bright happy faces
shone with a light that was beautiful
;to see.
A pleasant Incident was afforded by
the silent cheers, given with flowers to
Thomasville in recognition of her
kindness and hospitality.
At tho conclusion of Mr. Reppard’s
address, Mr v Carrier, asked the chid-
ren to give tho speaker a token of
their esteem and love—which they
did with waving of bouquets.
Then the most pleasant incident of
the Convention occurred; the little
fellows brought their bouquets up to
the stand and gave them to Mr. Jtep-
pard until they made a bank of flow
ers that could not have been iraprov-
charmed and won our hearts, and we
beg of him to attend as many of our
Sunday School Conventions as he can.
We take pleasure iu endorsing his
’Song Book, both as to quality and as to
price.
Resolved, That the thanks of the
Convention be and are hereby extend:
