army of ecclesiasts, comprising
one of the greatest denominations
upon the earth and representing
millions of devout and earnest
followers.
The people of Chattanooga ow r e
ungrudging praise and thanksgiv¬
ing for these privileges. The whole
some influences of these great re¬
ligious gatherings diffuse their be¬
nign essence into the heart of our
people and uplift our ethical and
moral nature.
Glance about you, and every¬
where you see stately religious ed¬
ifices adorning our principal
streets; wherever you turn you
behold a lofty spire upraised to
God, pointing out the higher and
the better way. Is other proof
needed to show that here we have
a moral and a God-fearing people?
A kind Providence has richly
endowed this city with His glori¬
ous works; the majestic panorama
of beauty which embroiders this
landscape inspires our people 4*0
glorify the name of Him who
made it so.
History is linked with nature in
consecrating this city. The blood
of thousands of our countrymen,
from both north and south, which
reddened these famous battlefields
has dedicated here a shrine where
all may worship who love chival¬
ry, who honor valor, who revere
fidelity to principle and devotion
to duty. In the contemplation of
the heroic sacrifices and consum
mate military achievements of our
fellow-Americans hereabouts, we
can all renew our allegiance and
rekindle our admiration for our
re-united country, now, thank
God, indissolubly and eternally
one.
History and nature have here
woven garlands to adorn the treas
ures which enrich the land. Here
everything in raw materials, rich
ness of soil, diversified resources
an d equable climate invite thrift
an d enterprise and give rich re
wards to industry and energy. A
instinct with life, throbbing
with vital energy, the chief man
ufacturing point of the south,and
destined by immutable fate to be
its commercial metropolis, opens
wide its arms to greet you and
clasp you to its heart in earnest
welcome.
Your denomination, which
teaches freedom of conscience and
the liberty of the soul, which is
the ideal realization of local self
government, the separation of
church and state, which recognizes
no human authority superior to
personal responsibility, which
firmly respects the separate sov¬
ereignty of each separate church,
fulfills in your church polity to
the highest degree our American
conception of liberty and freedom,
hence it is fitting you should as¬
semble here, where freedom’s
thousands of martyrs lie buried
and where countless human sacri¬
fices to freedom are enshrined on
consecrated ground.
Thrice welcome! A hospitality
that cometh from the heart goes
out in sincerest warmth to your
distinguished body, and in the
name of the people of Chattanoo¬
ga it is my privilege to extend to
one and all a cordial, earnest
greeting. Our city, is honored by
your presence, and all we have is
yours. May your sojourn among
us prove pleasant, may God vouch
safe to you a successful and prof¬
itable meeting, one that will im¬
press upon the religious thought
of this community and fill your
assembly with renewed zeal and
fresh inspiration. May wise coun
sel prevail and may your deliber¬
ations rest as a sweet benediction
to the glory of God and the fur¬
ther advancement of your great
work throughout the world. *> J
The speech of welcome deliver¬
ed by Mayor Ochs was received
with the greatest appreciation.
Frequently during its delivery the
speaker was greeted with applause
and on taking his chair was ap¬
proached by many of the delegates
on the stand and warmly congrat¬
ulated upon his effort.
Rev. Dr. Garrett v r as next in¬
troduced, who welcomed the con¬
vention,on the part of the churches
of Chattanooga.
In his remarks Rev. Dr. Gar¬
rett said that unfortunately he
did not confer with Mayor Ochs
before he made his speech, and
the result was that the mayor had
said all the nice things to the del¬
egates that he intended to say.
There was one fact that might in¬
terest the visitors. Twenty-five
years ago, Forney Vaughn, in
w hose memory the large memorial
window' in the church w r as placed,
had made a journey to the mission
board then in session at Raleigh,
N. C., and had asked them to
send a missionary to Chattanooga
In keeping with the progress of
Chattanooga it is as well to note
that a year or two ago there were
fifty-five churches and over 100
saloons, to-day there are ninety
eight churches and seventy-six
saloons. The reverend gentle¬
man closed his address with ear¬
nest words of welcome.

tion City Ill. was told by her doc¬
tors she had Consumption and
that there was no hone for her,
but two bottles Dr. King’s New
Discovery completely cured her
and she says it saved her life.

dreadful cold, approaching Con¬
sumption. tried without result
everything else then bought one
bottle of Dr. King’s New Discov¬
ery and in two weeks was cured.
He is naturally thankful. It is
such results, of which these sam¬
ples, that prove the wonderful
efficacy of this medicine in Coughs
and Colds. Free trial bottle at
Dr. W. H. Lee’s Drug Store.
Every one knows of the Young
Men’s Christian Association; few
know the ciscumstances of its
origin and the magnitude of its
work to-day. The Sunday
School Times is enlightening its
readers in this matter, from
authoritative sources. First, an
article by Sir George Williams,
the English founder of the Y. M.
C. A., told ef its inception in the
world: another article, by the
secretary of the Foreign Depart¬
ment, told of the Association’s
work around the world; now an
article by one of the American
intercollegiate secretaries tells, in
the issue for June 13, of the work
of the Association among our col¬
leges. Subsequent articles will
take up other branches of the
ever-spreading work, including
the progress it is making among
railroad men.
