THE LEXIN6T0N DISPATCH. Wednesday, April 18, 1906. International Student Conven. tion. To the Editor of the Dispatch: Inasmuch as three Lsxingtonian* had the privilege of representing / three of the leading State colleges at the International Student Convention recently held in Nashville, Tenn., 1 thought that a brief account of that significant gathering might be read with Bome interest by readers of the Dispatch. The other two delegates to whom I refer were Prof E. K. ? . ? ? a -i o T TT? liar din, or wonora sou qjlu o. ?? cdsinger, of Clemson college. The Nashville convention was the fifth conference of the world's student volunteer movement for missions, and it was the first ever held in the South. This convention convenes once in every student generation? the meeting four years* ago having been held in Toranto, Canada. At Toranto meeting some two thousand delegates were present and the amount, pledged yearly for foreign missions, was twenty thousand dollars The recent meeting was the largest missionary conference ever held. Nearly five thousand professors and students, representing seven hundred institutions of the world; fraternal delegates from almost every quarter of the globe, and representations from every mission field were present The sessions were held in the Byman auditorium, which is the largest building of its kind in the South, although, seating about four thousand, and it was inadequate for the needs of the convention. All daring the four days hundreds were turned away for lack oif room. To accommodate this over-plus services were held each day in the First Presbyterian and the Vine street churches. In the auditorium, at the back of the large stage, printed in letters about four feet square hung the '? ' ?: uTI mcito 01 toe convenuou, "xuo evuugelization of the world in this generation." Beneath this banner, side by Bide floated thl flag of Great Britain and the stars and stripes. On ropes stretched from ceiling to ceiling hong the flags of many nations of the globe. The delegations sat by states or counties and all through the immense crowd oonld be seen placards denoting each delegation. Manitoba sat to the right of South Carolina. A grand feature of the occasion was the singing led by Dr. Peck, ol New York. A "Convention Hymn book" was given to every person, and it was, indeed, an inspiring privilege to bear those four thousand voices blended in song. The work of the association quartette was especially fine. As speakers we heard some of the strongest men in Christendom. The names of Bobert E. Speer, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Missions, and John B. Motte, are enough to give some idea of the type of the master intellects who addressed A mAnn o K ah f. C Uit) UUUYeiili>UU< n nmug avwu? ? hundred others I may mention Sii Henry Durland, British ambassadoi to the United States; Hon. Wm Gunter, who bad Germany's greetings; J. T. Manly, educational secretary of the World Mission Society: and Hon. B. F. McFarlan, chairmac board of commissioners, District oi Columbia. Miss Helen Stone, the American missionary vividly describ ed her experiences while held captive by the Turkish brigane. She alsc f/*M nf dnmpatift life of the Moal VV?V? V* VMV ems and most forcefully emphasized the need of the Mohamedan world today. The last that I shall mentioo is Dr. Shepard, the negro missionary to Africa, sent out by the Southern Presbyterian church. Hie interesting account of his varied ex? periences in the heart of Africa was thrilling. He and his former mastei Dr. Latsley, of Virginia, were the first foreigners to make a trip through the "Forbidden Land." His accounl of that journey down the Congo wae vivid to say the least. Dr. Shepard is a man of fine physique and he possesses a ready flow of language. Before the subscription for mi* sions was taken Motte, the chairman, stated that inasmuch as the Torantc convection bad raised twenty tbcus. and dollars, be thought tbis one 1 might easily subscribe twenty five j . thousand. Imagine our surprise I when the announcement next day l was made that the collection of the j night before bad amounted to ninetytwo thousand dollars. This fact gives 1 some faiot idea of the terrible earnest' ness of those who are seeking the ; realization of the inspiring hope of the 1 convention. The evangelization of f.ho wnrlrt in thin penetration. ' Probably the greatest feature of ^ the convention was the short reports 1 of about one hundred aDd twenty1 fire student volunteers to foreign? iands who expect to sail before next January. Io was a touching display of devotion to some higher power as 1 each in bis or her turn quietly stated why be or she had decided to go to ! > the foreign field. At the close of j 1 these sentence reports the qiartefcte 1 song as a prayer, "Speed away, speed away on your mission of light," and at the conclusion Mr. Motte asked 1 that the entire convention bow in silent prayer. This again was an 1 impressive scene as, in the quietness, each sought the guidance of that still, small voice which in accents laws and tender, speaks to the heart of the individual prompting each to a wider and a wiser humanity. / 1 Another feature which I believe will prove of inestimable value was the exceptionally fine opportunity for the promotion of a staunch fellowship of inter collegiate, inter-denom- , inational and inter-national characi ter. More especially do I speak of the inter-collegiate phase of this feature. I firmly believe that the conventions of this kind are doing , more towards blending the thoughts, lines and ideals of college men, the world around, than any other single factor. Here were associations, acquaintanceships and ties that will ever bind in closer union the college men and women of the world. Then, the most impressive thought rf all is the limitless benefits which i most flow from this gathering. Held as the convention was at a most opportune period in the history of the Christian church, bringing together men of inter-national reputations from . all the centers of learning, assembling the most responsible leaders of the ' forces of Christianity, the result must be that a mighty impulse will be given to the religious life of our colleges. The Nashville convention will certainly be the means of awakening to some degree the colleges there represented, converting their latest possibilities into living activities, arousing their zeal in the cause of missions, and making possible and prevalent a truly remarkable onward movement in the evangelization of the world.

The Colleton county grand jury is made up of the right sort of men,aDd the State of South Carolina is to be congratulated that these men were on duly at this particular time. The attempt to have the cases nol prossed against the men who conspired lo defraud the State pension board by forgery was outrageous, and had the scheme succeeded, it would have been a disgraceful miscarriage of justice. The presentment of the grand jury is the outspoken declaration of honest men in condemnation of rascality in official quarters.? Watchman and Southron. Cured Hemorrhages of the Lungs "Several years since my lungs were so badlv affected that I had many hemor rhages," writes A. M. Ake, of Wood, Ind.
