The only Fills to take with Hood’s Sarsaparilla. 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. (to be continued) TAX RECEIVER'S NOTICE. Books onen April 1st, to J uly 1st.
