** State Convention.
Hu State Sunday school convention.
|Uvr-ncd in Mac ,n, was largely alter -
~% and unusually full of interest.
The writer, had the good fortune to he j
present on the first two days of its j
session, and the instruction and asso-;
ciation fully repaid in for all our ex- ]
pend)tun sof time and money.
Dr. Candler’s address, ‘ A Sunday
School Substitute! Can there he one?
was the treat of the convention, for
an hour he held the audience motion
lea except when his inevitable wit and
humor moved them into convulsions of
laughter. What Dr. Candler cannot
make funny, pathetic or forceful is
hardly worth the attention of other
men. Asa timely great man he has
n t, a superior in the state, and it, is
doubtful if he have an equal.
The exposition of primary' work in
the [Sunday school by Miss Mabel
Hall, superintendent of piimary de
partment, Emanuel Baptist church
Sunday school, Chicago, was the
most splendid rehearsal of the nature
we ever heard. .Miss Hall is a conse
crated Christian and nobody would
doubt it after hearing her speak a
minute. Her mastery of the subject
•h simply perfect and she knows ex
actly how to present it in a manner
that arouses enthusiasm from her first
to her last utterance. She is spending
n month on a lecturing tour through
the South just now, and she is one
northern woman wi om southerner#
will love and delight to honor, She
speaks in public, bother modesty is
i dearly evident, and she has none of
that feminine co.irsness with which
so many female orators incense the
feelings of southern people anti which
readers woman publicity repugnant to
southern sens'bilitieH.
The r eception tendered the delegates
by the faculty and students of Wes
leyan College was another of the de
lightful cxorcis's which cannot he
lightly passed over. Mrs. Cobh had
the. Senior class arrayed in their pret
tiest costumes, and when Wesleyan
girls are on a dress parade, all else
but the beauty of the sun is eclipsed.
R -freshmcuts were served from their
dainty hands and their deft fingers
soft,-n the chattering halls with sweet,
music from 1 all parts of the building.
Wesleyan is a great, college, and
Mrs. Cobh w'no seems an inseparable
part of the institution is a great wo
man. Dr. Rowe, the President, is a
man of rare talent and atl'ahi.ity and
the delegates are much indebted for
his com tesies.
Macon is indeed a typical southern
city and her hospitality is not boun
ded at all. It runs ad infinitum and
gets larger as it goes. No delegate to
the Sunday school convention will he
able to express his or her gratitude
commensurate with Macon's great
hearted cordiality, and wo make pub
lic, acknowledgement of the sweet
entertainment tendered us personally.

He is a "down East" yankee who has
been in the South a few ye its, and
has never been anything else but a
Republican till the Populist party was
horn. He has never had any sym
pathy with tiie southern people in
polities and likely has no other sort
except that which emanates Jh>m a
desire to use them for his own wealth
and aggrandizement. Let out peo
ple take heed lest they be caught in
