Let Every Baptist Attend.
The first Sunday School Con
vention of the Smyrna Baptist
Association, will convene ar Union
Baptist church, near Nicholls, on
April 28th, and will be in session
until Sunday following at 12 m.
The programme for this convention
appears elsewhere to-day, and is a
good one with the exception of one
or two instances, which the Breeze
will stand if the people can. This*
being the first contention of that
kind this article is written at the
suggestion of some local Baptists
for the purpose of urging upon all
members of that denomination,
and -til others too, to make this
occasion a grand rally in the rause
of Sunday schools, and to attend in
person and get others to do like
v.'ihC This will be done, it is
thought, and ii. 2 church selected
will not be sufficient to bold the
teachers, delegates and visitors that
will attend. Since the formation
of the programme and the date of
tlie convention has been made,
parties who seldom ever attend
anything of the kind have an
nounced a desire to be there, and
even if the crowd is large it is quite
certain the people of Nicholls will
take care of all who go to the con
; vention. We shall ask Mr. McFad-
I den, of the Atlantic & Birmingham
railway, to give us a reduction foi
the days mentioned. Now, get
ready! Don’t stand around and
wait until it is too late.
Miss Fannie White, the little lady
who is trying to learn to be a prin
ter, with fair prospects, at this
office, was called to Nichols, last
Tuesday on account of the sickness
of her mother. We hope she found
her mother improved, and will re
turn to her typesetting, as it gees
hard with us to furnish copy, keep
books and fill her place at the case.

An Appeal to the people of Douglas.
God is good. He is on the giv
ing hand. We hear of Revivals
from all parts of the world, and in
many stations, cities and towns in
Georgia, we can hear the shouts of
victory that are going up on ac
count of great religions awakenings
why not have a great Revival in
Douglas? We all feel the need of
it. Many of us .are burdened be
cause it ha., tarried. Why can we
not, as the children of God, go to
Him iii united, fervent prayer, and
“commit our ways unto Him,” be
lieve that He. will bring it to pass.
The Methodists’of Georgia have
set aside Sunday, April 16111, as a
day of special prayer for a Revival,
and i appeal to the Christians of
Douglas, regardless of denomina
tional lines,t<> spend next Sunday
pleading with God for the Revival
fires to be kindled jq yr.ur OiVtS
heart, and let Him use you to spread
the fire to others.
There will be preaching at the
Methodist church on Sunday at 1/
o’clock, and at 7 130 the pastor will
preach on Prevailing Prayer.
Let us all pray, and as we pray
we must listen for Gods voice as
He speaks to us, for when we ap
proach Him He speaks to us.
We expect to begin a service of
meetings on Easter Sunday. The
Master says “that whatsoever ye
ask the Father in my name He will
give it you. Then let us ask and
expect a revival in answer.
Faithfully,
Tom 15. Standi'Ord.
