HIGH SPOTS OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION IN CHATTANOOGA, TENN., WHICH CLOSED IN THAT CITY LAST WEEK Said to be the Greatest Convention Held in the History of the Baptists With Ten Thousand Delegates and Visitors Present. Revs. W. H. Faust, C. YV. Henderson, and Mr. A. E. Knight Flivered Through in an “Aluminum Elizabeth.” fc (W. H. FAUST) The GGtli annual session of the South ern Baptist convention convened iu Chattanooga last Thursday for one of the most epochal meetings in its'his tory. Three millions members were represented by 5,000 registered dele gates. The YV. M. U. of the South met at the same time and with the visitors the city was tilled to overflowing with the 10,000 Baptists from country,, vil lage and city. Dr. Edgar Young Mullins, of Ken tucky, the world’s leading theologian, was elected president of the conven tion ; Ex-Gov. B. F. Pankey, of New Mexico; Dr. J. It. Hobbs, of Alabama; Dr. Henry Allen Tupper, of Washing ton, I). C.; Mayor A. W. Chambliss, of Chattanooga, vice presidents. Drs. 11. C. Moore, of Nashville, and Henry Bur nett, of Macon, Ga., were elected secre taries. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Dr. John YV. Inzer, of the First Bap tist church and Mayor Chambliss. Re sponse was made by Dr. W. S. Wiley, of Oklahoma. Than Dr. Wiley the South has no more witty nor eloquent speaker and he held his crowd spell bound as he spoke of the joy of the del egates upon the meeting in the city. Dr. H. L. YVinburn, of Arkansas, preached the annual sermon on “Walk ing by Faith.” It was heard by over 7,000 people, and was of such superb character that it was printed in full in the religious papers and many of the secular papers of the South. Thirteen millions dollars were paid in during the year and glowing reports were made by representatives oi ail the mission fields, colleges, orphanages and work in general done by the va rious boards. Five cities qualified, out of the entire south to become hosts of the convention for next year: Atlanta, Jacksonville, Houston, Kansas City and St. Louis. Time fails to tell of the really great speeches of the convention. Dr. Ager spoke on “Stewardship,” at the Chris tian church, one of the ablest discus sions of this subject the writer ever heard. Sunday the pulpits of all the churches, white and black, of the citj were filled by visitors. The writer heard Geo. W. McDaniel, of the historic old First church, Richmond, Va., at theJMyst Presbyterian church. The pas te. Jw this great church has been in Chattanooga 47 years, a good object lesson for some Baptists. In the afternoon, some 10,000 people thronged the Billy Sunday Tabernacle to hear Dr. liushbrooke, of London, tell of Baptist work throughout the world. He is Baptist commissioner for Europe representing all the Baptists of the world. Dr. George W. Truitt thrilled the soul of his audience as he told of the mighty opportunities in Eu rope. AC nigVt Dr. James Whitcomb Brougher, of Los Angeles, Cal., preach ed. He is one of the leading preachers o’ the world, was formerly pastor of t&e First Church of Chattanooga, and has bo peer in the American pulpit to day. He spoke on “The Higher Soci ety,’l It was a gem from start to fin ish. His style, ills address and his voice are among the -hings which keep his audience’s attention, but his muse remarkable trait is his superb sense of humor. Asa s'.ory teller he has few equals, and his sermon was replete with humor. Dr. Brougher would tell a funny story, get his audience laugh ing, and then, before they had time to experience a change of feeling, would drive home the strong points of his text. During his discourse he told a story of a negro who had applied to a motion picture company for a job and had been hired as an extra to take part in the filming of a jungle scene, suppos edly staged iu darkest Africa. The di rector expla ine<l the part the negro was 50 take and told him “All you have to do is run through this cage and when this gets after you—we’ll have him stirndf up—you continue to run with him after you.” The negro said, “Boss She Winter Mem AND THE BARROW TIMES FORD PRODUCTION 4,000 CARS A DAY Ford is building cars at full speed. And, according to an official statement from the factory at Detroit, the de mand for Ford cars and trucks still ex ceeds the output, despite the fact that anew high level of production has been reached. By the tirst of May the figures rep resenting daily production were in the neighborhood of 4,000 a day, so the May schedule was set at 101,125 cars and trucks, sot including the output of the Ford Canadian plant or any of the foreign assembling plants. The out put mounted daily; May 12th brought fourth 4092, the greatest number that have been produced in one day so far this year. Since the month has 25 working days, present indications point to anew high record. A comparison of Ford products fig ures for 1920 and 1921 discloses the fact that for April, 1921, the output was greater by 34,514 than for the cor responding month of a year ago. The output for May, 1921, will probably overshadow May, 1920, by between fif teen and twenty thousand cars and trucks. Approximately 43,000 men are at work in the Detroit plant of the Ford Motor Company. The factory is oper ating on full time, six days a week and three shifts a day. “We were never in a better condi tion than we are right now,” said Hen ry Ford recently. let me see that lion,” and when the harmless old animal was brought out the negro backed out of his bargain, saying, “I don’t like the looks of that lion.” The director, trying to placate tin' negro and assure him that there was no danger from the animal, said, “Now Sam, this lion is thoroughly do mestic. He was born iu this country and is as harmless as a kitten. YVhy, lie was raised on a bottle.” The negro scratched his head and said, “Boss, if its all the same to you, I don’t want that job. I was also raised on a bottle, but I sho’ eats meat now.” Dr. Brougher’s pet enemy is a hypo crite. In discussing this type of church evil the speaker turned squarely to his audience and shouted: “There are among you men who are too conscien tious to shave themselves on Sunday, but they are not too conscientious to shave their neighbor’s note on Monday; there are those among you who wouldn’t stoop to blacken your own shoes on the Sabbath but you spend the rest of the week in blackening your neighbor’s rep utation ; there are those among you who pray publicly on Sunday and ‘prey’ on your neighbors the rest of the time. Why don’t yoju live one day as anoth er.” Chattanooga is one of the South's historic citibs. Around its suburbs was fought some of the greatest battles of the Civil War. Chattanooga Park, Missionary Ridge, Lookout Mountain, are sights that interest hordes of vis itors and the sight-seeing cars did a rushing business. The Billy Sunday Tabernacle seated the vast crowds and the speakers I could be heard with ease throughout the entire meeting. The hotels and private homes cour teously served the delegates. I, along with Brethren Knight and Henderson got lodging at a hotel for SI.OO per night; meals for 25c and up. No bet ter accommodations were ever render ed the Southern Baptists than at Chat tanooga. YY'e “Flivered” through on Wednes day in the rain. Roads were good, though, and from henseforth, instead of referring to my “Tin Lizzie,” because of superb action in getting us home in an afternoon, it will be the Aluminum Elizabeth.” Rev. Owen Still, evangelist of the Christian church, was a visitor to friends and relatives in YVinder Sun day. Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, May 19, 1921. J. W. Summerour Pays Fine; Saves Customers Mr. J. W. Summerour, Winder's live dry goods merchant, is always on the lookout to serve his customers. And he knows how to reach the people of this section. He has found out that The Winder News reaches the public and that the people read it, too. Last week he gave his customers 15 pounds of sugar for SI.OO. While he was busy waiting on the customers that flocked to his store to take advantage of the bargains he was offering somebody made the complaint that he ought not to be allowed to sell sugar without pay ing a grocery license. The marshal of the city waited on Mr. Summerour and stated that he would either have to stop selling sugar or pay the license. Mr. Summerour promptly paid the li cense and continued to sell his custom ers 15 pounds of sugar for SI.OO. Jim j Summerour can always be depended on to take care of his customers. On Saturday and Monday he will give 25 cts. to .each person who cuts out his ad on the last page of this issue and brings it to him.
