feel,"'he said, "that Newberry has
been especially honored in being the
place selected at which to hold to first
Bar.a.ca-Philathea State convention.
However it is not my purpose to at
tempt an elaborate address of wel
come, as'that will and can be better
done by those who axe to follow me,
but on behalf of the Baraca-Phila
theas of the city, and especially the
local committees who have worked
so faithfully to make our convention
a success, we greet you with glad
ness, we welcome you with warm
hearts."
Prof. S. J. Derrick.
On account of u-navoidable absence
from the ciity, President J. Henry
J. J. GIE
Retiring Stai
Harms, of Newberry college, was not
able to bs present, and the welcome
on behalf of the students of Newber
ry college was extended by Prof. S.
J. Derrick, of the faculty. He spoke
of the pride which (Newberry -takes
in its graded school system a.ndin~
Newberrny college. Believing thatI
education-Christian education- is
one of the great forces making for
the social and moral regeneration of
ma nkind, the school and college au
thorities, he said, welcome you, Bi
ble students, as comrades in a com
mon cause. "Most of you are no
longer students in the -academy or
college walls; you are students in a

larger field; but your presence here
tonight is evidence th'at you have not
forgot to study t.hat Book within
whose pages is found t'he wisdom of
the ages,' "'he said. On behalf . of
the students of the college and of all
the people of Newberry, he welcomed,
the convention. "Remember while
es guests you are ours: while as hosts
we are yours--use us,'' he conclud
ed.
The Rev. M. L. Banks.
The next speaker was the R.ev. M.
L. Banks, pastor of Central Metho
dist church, who delivered the ad
dress of welcome on behalf of the!
churches of the city. In introducing
him Mr. Spearman said:
"Next on the program is one who
has recently come among us, but who
has won a place in our hearts; his
active interest and support has done
much to encourage us in this move
ment. I no0w beg to introduce Rev.
M. L. Banks, pastor of .the Central
*Methodist church, who will welcome
'you on behalf of the churehes."
Mr. Banks began by saying the only
fault to be fou.nd with the name
Baraca-Philathea was that it ought
to be Philathea-Baraca. He said that
he was ?1ot a "long"' speaker. The
churches of Newberry welcomed the
convention because they were a unit
abecause they stood for Christian
service and because the convention
stood for ,Christian service. There,
had been enough of theory without
practice. ''We welcome you because
of the atmosphere of hope and cheer
which you have already brought in
our city before you have been here
six hours." Buit he said he felt like
extending a welcome most of all be
cause they had brought into the city
tonight its most honored guest, Mar
shal A. Hudson.
Col. W. H. Hunt.
Mr. Spearman then introduced Col.
W. H. Hunt, an enthusiastic work
er in the movemenit, as follows:
''Next is one who has for years
been closely identified with Newber
ry in all of her affairs; social, politi
cal, financial and spiritual. Having
been saperintendent of one of our
Sunday schools for more than fifteen
years, he is specially fitted- to wel
come you on behalf of the Sunday
schools of the city. I now present
NTRY,
e President.
Col. W.. H. Hunt."
Col. Hunt said that Mr. Banks
fonud fault with the name Baraca
Philathea because the Baraca eame
first. He felt sure if Mr. Banks were
superintendent of a Sunday school
and had a Baraea and a Philathea
class he woula find that this was a
condition in name only. He thought
that really the Philatheas were su
perirtendents of the Sunday sohool,
but they made a good superintendent,
and the Sunday school couldn't get
along without them.
In behalf of the eleven Sunday
shool's of the city he welcomed the
convention, saying that its coming
was an insprtion. Over a year ago
the Baraea.-Pihiiathea classes were or
ganized in Newberry and during that
time he had 'seen such interest in Su
~day school work as 'he had never
seen before in Newberry, and this
work was telling on the life' of the
ommunity. He knew the stay of the
convention would be an ,encourage
ment and an inspiration, and prom
ised that the members of the New
berry classes would try to be better
Baracas and Phiilatheas for the stay
f the union, and to help on 'with
greater vigor and greater enthusiasm
and encouragement the great move
ment reaching from Miaine to the
ulf, and from the Atlantic to the
Pacific, which has for its object the
putting of the young men and the:
young women of America into the
Sunday school.
President J. 3. Gentry.
Mr. Spearman then introduced
State President J. J. Gentry, of'
Spartanburg, as one who hadi done
muchi for the .movement, aind who fo~r
I. T. WIJJIAMS,
Baraca State Secretary.
his good works, over his protest, had
last year 'been elected presidenlt of
the State union.
Mr. Gentry, after a few happy in
troductory remarks, said he realized
the fact thart the delegates were wel
ored not only because the people
f Newherry were glad to see them,
but they recognized the fact that
the welcome was to them because
they represented something tha:t was
high and holy and good. and he hop
ed the session would prove that the
welcome had not been misplaced. He
believed Newberry w.as to out-Herod
Herod and would go beyond the Ba
raca moitto and prove that one could
not be a stranger in Newberry even
once. In speaking of that to which
the delegates had not been welcomei,
he thanked God that they had not
been welcomed to a State or a coun
ty or a town dispensary.
"We have come here and we are
yours," he said. "Fidelity to God
is service to man,'-if we wor.hip
1im we may worship Him possibly
apart from man, but if we serve him
we must serve man-and that was the
aim and purpose of the Baraca-thil
-atheas, he said. Let that be tne
motto of the conviention-" fidelity
to God is service to man"-an-d lec
each go home resolved that he or
she would be more faithful to God by
being of more service to man. He
hoped that while the delega.tes were
rece,iving a great deal from Newberry,
that Newberry would also receive a
great ;deal from them.
Marshal A. Hudson, National Pres
ident.
President Gentry introduced Mar
shal A. Hudson, national fresident
of the Baracas. Mr. Gentry said
that -about 20 years ago a plain bat
successful business man in New York
conceived the idea which resulted in
the formation of the first . Baraca
eclasss, and those who had knwledIge
of the movemeat must believe thot
it was a divine inspiration.
Mr. Hudson. was enthusiastically
received.
He brought greetings of a half mil
lion members of Baraca and Philathea
elasses, and said the prospects of a
million men were never so bright-a
million men and women for Christ.
"What has God done-what has he
wrought, out of the sixteen or eigh
teen men whom we gathered together
that Sunday in the old church and
formed the first Baraca class?'' Why
should God chose him to lead a class
with -a million men, or give him a
vision of a million men studying the
Bible'? One day a Y. M. C. A. secre
tary laid his hand on his shoulder and
told him there were 16,000 men ih
Syrae-use who were ,not in the church.
If there were only 16 people in the
city who didn't know where his place
of business was, :he said', he would
have sent them an invitation to come
down to his place of business. Then
was when he saw the vision, and when
God .told one to do something He
wanted that one to do.it, and not go
hunt somebody else.
All Americans were trying t odo big
thi'ngs. Combination was the rule,
and he believed God wanted his peo
ple sto do big things. A million men
studying the Bible-he was willing to
put his life with that thing. But
sone things which we consider small
were big in God 's sight. Mere man
might have con.sidered the organiza
tion, of the first Baraca class which
the speaker had organized a small
thing. But evidently it was the
will of God, with results which -had
been acthieve.d and with still greater
results which could be achievedi.
He spoke of his efforts in the or
ganization of the first Bible cla;ss,
starting with eighteen members, to
some of whom agreed to attend if the
lass was held in the rear of the
hurch so they might slip out if any
thing happened. The class was open
ed with prayer, and was sustained by
prayer. A name wa? needed, and a
name was chosen and it was taken
from 2 Clfron. 20:26, .where was spok
en of 'the Valley of Happiness, or the
Valley of Baraca. And then a plat
form was 'chosen and it was writ
ten by a high school boy, and the
speaker said he was firmly convinc
ed that it was as much -inspired as
were .the gospels-'"young men at
woik for young men, all standing by
the Bible and 'the Bible school,'' and
the motto of the Philatheeas was as
equally expressive-'-"young women
at work for young wvomen, all stand
ing by the Bible and the Bible
school.'' He said the union stood by
the Bible and the Bible school.
He spoke of the difficulties of keep
ng together the first Baraca class and
said the same difficulties were exper'
iendd in .the orgar4ization of the
Philatheas six years later. The first
thing necessary was a business life.
t was run along business lines. The
speaker said he was the secretary and
eacher, and a president was chosen;
ad 30 minutes was allowed f:>r teach
;ng the le.;n,n, and when the thirty
minutes were up the gavel fe'.1 and
the lesson wvas over. Visitors were
welcomed and~ made to feel at home
nd tiheir name~s and addreses were
taken, and lea :rs se-nt t:heim next
orning sa.yng the class w asL gld
they had comec and hoped: they wo.i a
~oe agtain-. Next morning tihey were
called upon and the effort made to
et them into the Barata class. ?1ay
