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. 11. W. Reed of Brunswick is work ing a scheern with the Populist and Republicans to run for congress against Mr. Turner. Of course there is no danger from this source, but the people of ColFco county and the dis trict should know who Air. Reed is 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 a Republican net strbtced in the name of the Poptilis t.
