six hundred delegates from all sections
of Georgia present, the annual con
vention of the Georgia Baptists met
at the First Baptist church tonight.

hath not dealt so with any nation"—
Psalms, 147:2.
At the conclusion of the sermon,
Dr. William H. Smith, pastor of the
First Baptist church, said the congre
gation would join in singing "Amer
ica," written by a Baptist, to which
fact Mfr. Bealer had made reference,
and the many hundred people joined
heartily In singing the national hymn.
It was a thrilling moment In the con
vention. and William D. Upshaw rep
resented the sentiment of the entire
audience when he impuls'vely pressed
forward, called Mr. Bealer to the edge
of the rostrum, and warmly shook hie
hand, thanking him for the sermon.

Dr. W. II. Smith, pastor of the First
Baptist church, welcomed the dele
gates to the city heartily.
Judge Geo. Y. HUIyer, of Atlanta,

An affecting incident was the tribute
of the convention to Dr. J. H. Kilpat
rick, of White Plains. Go., when he
arose, as chairman of the committee
on order of business to make hts re
port. Dr. B. W. J. Graham, of At

ding, he having' served that church
fifty years. The entire audience arose
and for seevral moments the air was
white with handkerchiefs waved at the
venerable pastor as a salutation.
