Wasiiinotox, Go., April 26.—{Spe
cial]—The c-invention is charmed with
its entertainment in Washington.
Kverything has been propitious. The
weathor to-day has been perfect, the at
mosphere balmy, and spring, with her
rosy fingers, has touched into life
beauty the whole face of nature.
Last night's session of the convention
was devoted to Mercer University. Dr.
Nutmally was introduced to the vast au
dience as the president of Mercer Univer
sity. This he said always made 1dm feel,
by contrast, bis littleness. Pursuing a giesi
quiet, pastoral life in Alabama, who
he had gone for a season, but with the
reserved fight to return, he hod been
called to take charge of Mercer. Hero
in Washington we stand at the cradle of
this illustrious institution. Here
its birthplace. Here it took
form and fashion to follow
John U Dogg, Nathaniel Macon
Crawford, H. U. Tucker and Dr. A.
J. Battle Is no small underloking.
Through the providence of (tod and the
business sagacity of T. J. Burney Mercer
went through the Urea of vrvrwith her
endowment ansinged. All last summer
lie hunted “boys’’—visited ninety coun
ties. The people are not indifferent to
their boys’ education. His “boj»-hunt”
was a auocect. More came than lie
looked lor. Twenty thousand dollars are
needed to enlarge the buildings Md
recitation rojm. The rooms aro too
small Dr. Nunnally thinks ho will
have 400 in twelve months. Enlarge
ment is going on everywht-re. Tnirteen
yuan ago tho Georgia Baptist convention
collected yearly about 88.U0U Now it
collects CGo.000. Churches aro bui.ding
everywhere. The denomination is ex
panding. Let Mercer expand and grow.
Give tho boys room.

Dr. J. K Haw tliorno spoko next for
Mercer. lie wo* in good trim and mado
a rousing speech. He appeared on short
notice, but a deep-f.lt interest was his
preparation. Though n native of that Ron*rnlou
state to which the roving Indian gavo
loyal to Georgia and alliicr interests, ns
if to the manor born. Failing health
had compelled tho abandonment of his
pastorate, and he had taken a respito
from labur. Health restored, tho good
pco; lo of Atlanta had called him back
and he was hero to stay and to identify
himself with tho mieu-sls of Giorgio.
Among the claims that assorted them-
rdves, none were more conspicuous,
nono more nobis than Merest University.

the inititution w hore sho ought to be.

goes of his groat Baptist itato-not only

from which the influence* came that made
them strong? Among thess^source* of
