Southern Baptist Convention,
May 11 16, at Baltimore, Md.
About 3,300 were entitled to

tion centers chiefly around three
committees, usually called
Boards, namely, the S. S. Board
Home Mission Board and For
eign Mission Board. Add to the
three the Southern Baptist Theo
logical Seminary (Louisville Ky)
the largest institution of the kind
in the world, and the Woman’s

The party will reach here at
8:20 a. m. Wednesday in a
special train, and will probably
be taken for a short automobile
