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 Resolved That we tender to Chns. Tillman, our sincere thanks for his services at this Convention. His A M M* j***u.- 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. Rev. J. B. Forster, Boston, Super intendent. Rey. J. B. Wight, Cairo, Secretary, 4th District—Counties—Baker,Cal houn, Dougherty, Early, Irwin, Lee and Worth" J. J. Williams, TyTy, Superin tendent. G. T. West, Hardup, Secretory 27th District—Counties—Berrien, Charlton, Clinch, Coffee, Echols, Lowndes, Pierce and Ware. T. B. Marshall, Willacoochec, Su perinlendent. D. B. Sweat, Waycross, Secretary. Delegates to the.sixth annual meet ing of the International Sunday School Convention which assembles in Pitts burg, Jane 24-27, were nominated and elected. The names of the dele gates from South Georgia are as fol lows; 1st District—C. G. Gray, Fort I Valley. 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: ed to the ofBcero of the church where* iu our meetings have been held, for Ifflie’ifautii' the building, ami that list especial thanks of the Convention be, and are hereby tendered to Rev.
