BIG CONVENTION BROUGHT TO AN END Sessions in Washington Are closed Committee Appointed to Study Advisability of National Publica tion for Denomination. Washington, May 17.-The Diamond convention of the Southern Baptist church, descri -ed as the greatest in the history of the church, came to an end today with the adoption of the rj port of the eommittee on temperance and social service and of a recommen dation that the constitution of the United States be so amended as to prohibit the use of public funds for the support of sectarian institutions. -An attack-on the national board of censors was stricken from the report before its adoption upon the sugges tion of Dr. lir W. Landrum of Russell ville, Ky. Dr. Landrum argued that the attack was libelous in character and might lead to the recovery of heavy dam ages fron the convention. He agreed with the spirit which had prompted the statement. Amendment to the constitution to prohibit the use of money raised by the government through taxation or other wise fro mdefraying the expenses of secretarian institutions was proposed by ir. J. B. Gambrell president of the convention. Dr. Gambrell declared it his belief that every religious order should pay its own expenses Progress made in the establishment of a theological seminary for negroes was reported to the convention and the'project indorsed by two negro Bap tist preachers, Dr. J. W. Bailey of Chicago and Dr. George 0. Bullock of Washington. Attack on Newspapers. Appointment of a committee to study the advisability of establishing a national Baptist newspaper was de cided upon after a vicioue attack by Dr. Ben Cox of Memphis on the news papers of the country, and especially the Associated Press, for what he charged was their "unfair" attitude towards the Baptist denomination. The newspapers and the Associated Press were staunchly defended by Frank E. Burkehalter of Nashville and Dr. Alex Bealer of Georgia, who de clared that the Baptists have not been discriminated against in the papers, and that the Associated Press had al ways been fair and courteous. Dr. Cox took particular exception to the Assciated Press report of the ser mon delivered yesterday from the steps of the capitol by Dr. George W. Truett of Dallas, Texas complaining that portions had been omitted which were derogatory to other denomina tions. co Later Dr. Cox introduced a reso- to lution thanking the civic organiza- t tions, hotels and newspapers of Wash- I ington for their help and cooperation (e in taking care of the 10,000 messen- fe gers and their friends in the city and be in making the convention a success. ce To Fill Vacant Pulpits. su One of the last acts of the conven tion wvas to providle for a committeeH of three to expressly report to the 1921w meeting upbn the number of vacantt Baptist pulpitM in the South and to! eq tudly ways andl means fo rattracting. men to the ministry to fill the existing in vacancies in Baptist churches. wI Eulogies of former officers of the lb convention who dliedi during the past gr~ year wvere delivered during the closing th exercises.
