The State Convention on the report of its committee, has decided that it cannot undertake to carry out the measures proposed by a resolution improduf’d by 111 o 1L '* Mr .1, ■ h f.. - • j f Th.it o!ut.

This action is wise. The Conven tion is a religious organization and cannot afford to enter into an issue THE CLOSE OF THE CONVENTION It Was a Very Touching Cli max. THE CLOSING SPECTACLE.

The last day of the Baptist State* Convention was sunshiny and balmy. In fact it was an ideal day, and it seemed that the God of Nature had thrown all His power into the effort to make it so.

Each servant of tied seemed to have a specially prepared message from his Master and all were terribly in ear nest in the delivery of that message. They were ideal sermons, grand in their simplicity and eloquence and each was a message from the Man of Galilee to poor fallen humanity. The largest, congregation was gathered at the Convention Hall in the forenoon and evening. Dr. E. V. Mullins, of Louisville, Ky., preached in the He delighted his congre- fell in love with Gaffney and did not want to return to their homes. Dr. Rice said the people of Gaffney were a pretty good sort of people. In fact they were a capital people. The truth of the matter was they were a number one people. Every body thought they had the best home, but he was sure he had the best of all. His was a Methodist home (Dr. Garrett’s), but for the week everybody was a Baptist. He was sure that the people in the home he hud were Christians. He left home not knowing what to expect. He had come here and found a new home, and when he left it he would perhaps leave it for good. Therefore he was truly sorry to leave it. After the singing of that beautiful hymn “When Shall we Meet Again,” during which the brethren shook hands with each other us tears of joy for the sacrifices they had made coursed down their cheeks, the con vention adjourned. It was an effecting scene and a grand climax to the grandest conven tion in the history of the Baptist State Convention. To say that all Gaffney Was de lighted to have the Convention is ox- pressing it too mildly. We were glad they come and sorry to have them go. May God’s richest bless ings attend them all.

The service was begun with the doxology. Then came that soui-stiring hymn, “How firm a foundation.” It was sung with a will. Every voice that could carry a tune lent its aid, and under the able direction of I’rof. Brown a melody of sweet music rose up to the ceiling, stole its way out into the open and j softly winged its way up to trod and i the ungels. It seemed us if tho old j tune was freighted with love to God and mankind. It has never been sung with prettier effect. It never will be sung with better effect. This was followed by a petition to the throne of grace. Miss Minnie Carroll ard Mrs. Brown then rendered Smarts vo cal duet, “The Lord is my shepherd,” and they sang it with a sweetness that is rarely, it ever, surpassed.

Sealed orders were orders that the commander carried in his pocket sealed in an envelope, the contents of which were not to be known even to the commander until a certain time. Just so it was with Saul. God sent him sealed orders by Ananias and he was to go out on the great ocean of his work not knowing what the command of his Master was, for, he was a chosen vessel unto me to bear my name before the gen tiles, and kings, and the children of Israel.” Dr. Ramsey asserted that this ves sel was no dishonored vessel, it was a whole vessel, without crack and without blemish. The vessel was emptied of all its impurities and filled with a pure fabric that was in terwoven into the frame. For forty-live minutes Dr. Ramsey delighted his audience with his learn ing and his eloquence. At several points he grew pathetic and the allu sions to his| early struggles and trials in the work brought tears of gen uine sympathy to the eyes of many of his hearers.
