STATE BAPTISTS
CLOSE SESSION
Convention at Greenville Closes Willi
Election of Maj. T. T. Hyde, as
President.
Crnmii-llln 15 Will, llio
election of Maj. T. T. Hyde of Charleston
for president, the Baptist convention
adjourned its present annual
session last night at 10:15 o'clock.
The election of officers came as the
last important matter for the consideration
of the convention, and as
usual there was a great deal of interest
shown by the delegates who
were present.
The day had been given to the
consideration of Aged Ministers' Relief
work, the ophanage, social welfa
ra anrl nu Itl in niAra la nml hn Uan.
tist hospital. The reports were all
very gratifying.
The chief point of interest came
when retiring President I)r. Z. T.
Cody announced the nominations
were in order for president of the
convention. Maj. T. T. Hyde of
Charleston, Col. F. N. K. Bailey of
Greenwood, and Mr. C. B. Babb of
Laurens, were placed in nomination.
Maj. Hyde received a majority of the
votes cast on the first ballot. Col.
Bailey and Mr. Babb were then elected
vice presidents of the convention.
The other officers elected were as follows:
Secretary, Dr. C. A. Jones; assistant
secretary, Rev. E. S. Reaves
U/vn r. , wl 1 f , . r. 1LT m Tama.. A
Ul iiuuca x atii , auuiiui , xvii o a uico n.
Hoyt of Columbia; treasurer, Mr. C.
B. Babb of Laurens; statistical secretary,
Rev. W. P. Wllkins of Greenville.
The convention was considered to
have been very good indeed. Many
things of vital interest to the denomination
were discussed, and while
some of the constructive measures
failed to meet with the approval of
the convention enough was accom^
pllshed to give new inspiration for
sales fund, which has been used for for
the last seven years exclusively for
the prevention and treatment of C01
tuberculosis in the United States, be
expended this year to aid the Euro- thi
pean war sufferers. While the Red
Cross is desirous of securing contributions
which will increase this war Fr
relief fund, we do not feel justified iU(
in adopting any policy which will
tend to cripple the tuberculosis work ?
in this country, dependent as it is for (lei
support to so large an extent on the tin
sale of Red Cross Christmas seals. ab
The announcement that a percentage
of the Red Cross seal money would
go to our war relief fund might pos-i ('?
sfbly increase the sale; but, in our j in(
opinion, the final results would show I faj
a distinct loss in that part of the pro-|on(
ceeds going for tuberculosis work. j
"At the present time there are
over 1,200 anti-tuberculosis societies
distributed through nearly every
state in the Union and even in Porto .
Rico, the Canal zone and far off 11
Hawaii, which are dependent almost ma
entirely upon the receipts from the ine
Red Cross seal sale for their work ha
during the year 1016. The people of
the United States must support this '
local war against tuberculosis, which
annually kills 200,000 people and at coi
the present time is leaving a trail of !
a million wnunriprl "

Ever try to write a letter or auyng

During (no working hours of .si*
?'s each week I -am a discipid .

Ulay nights I descend fnc?m this 1

il much abused table, become a
r
re editor.
If J begin my nefarious labors bee
the kiddie's abed, she demands
isiderable attention.
For instance, I make a brave start,
is:
A certain gifted and cynical
enchman assorted that "all abso,e
statements are false, even this
e." What he meant was that (Yes,
ir, that's a picture of a moo cow,)
i human mind cannot grasp the
solute. The absolute truths of
ture are a part of that (Honey, I
n't know what the moo cow is doc,)
infallibility of diety, and man's
lible and finite mind is not big
i>ugh to (Louise, you mustn't tear
? magazine,) comprehend.
Right and wrong are doubtless tlxaud
(Hon. don't stick that paper
your ear.) absolute, but what burn
mind is capable of classifying
>n and actions as (No, you mustn't
ve another magazine. One is
ougli.) right or wrong?
iuu aim 1, uecause we are vastly
iiceited, judge the actions of other
mi and assume the right to eenre
if (Dear child, don't jump out
the chair. You'll fall and hurt
urself. Run and get your dolly
d rock her to sleep.) those actions
not conform with our notions.
Right and wrong, as men use those
"ins, change with (Yes. dear. I see
or doll.) the centuries. The thing
counted a vice years ago (Yes. 1
e ln r clean dress.) is a virtue < '
day. and (Yes, 1 see her clean pi'
oat.) the virtue of dead ages (Y ,
*?ee hct clean drawers',) is now
ee.
Fashions in morals change, His-j
ry is useful in showing us (Try to J
jop quiet for just a minute, dear.)
e follies of our ancestors, and wo
II do well (Yes, I think the doll's
loop now,) to believe that posterr,
with (I said yes,) a hitter and
for set of morals, will (Keep still.)
ugh at our foolish notions and
udder (Louise, you MUST keep

me in the name of virtue.
"Rats! I didn't intend to hurt
>ur feelings. Don't cry. Come
id get in daddy's lap and let's talk
out the moo cow that lived with
cat."
And at thsi point, pen and writing
id are put away and the kid, as
ddies will, dictates the program
\til nine o'clock.
