In conversation yesterday with a Ledger representative Dr. Simms gave out the following interview in regard to the Southern Baptist Con vention, which has just closed its session at Nashville, Tenn: “The first interesting fact was the presence of a Baptist business man from the island of Celon, who was on his way to St. Louis to represent his people interested in the great expo sition. "He was a very intelligent man and spoke with confidence of the great mission work "The convention was entitled to some 1900 delegates and there were something over 1200 present. “The Sunday School Board made a fine report, showing that 90 per cent of the Baptist schools of the south were getting their literature from the south and that the receipts of the board for the year were $109,000 and that of this amount, $21,000 had been appropriated to denominational work. “The Baptists own a fine piece of property in which its business is con ducted and everybody seemed pleased with it. “The Home Mission Board reported $127,850 as its receipts, which was a considerable advance over previous year. As new fields for its opera tions, this board will soon establish work in the Isle of Hines, near Cuba, and in Paanma and Colon, on the territory recently acquired by this country for the great canal. Thous ands of people are pouring in there and the native Indians have never been enlightened. In addition to this, a school wdll soon be established in Cuba for the education of the young there. Rev. Charles Carroll will soon go to Cuba as a missionary to the English speaking people and to have charge of our mission work there. "The Foreign Mission Board made the greatest report in its history. The income for the year was $247,629.69. We now have 138 white missionaries and 215 native workers on the foreign field. There were 2076 baptisms last year on the foreign field. The mass meeting in the interest of foreign missions was a remarkable gathering. There were ten returned missionaries on the platform (soon to go back) and ten young men and young ladies who were to go with them. A great number of persons stated they were considering the question of going to the foreign work and ten or more arose and said they had settled the matter and would go. The seminary in Louisville said it had thirty young men would go and and Baylor Uni versity reported fifteen. It was a heart-stirring time, as man after man arose and said, “Pray for me, that I may find my duty in the matter.” Some parents asked that their child ren might be called of God as mis sionaries. We never before saw an audience so moved with the mission ary spirit. “The theological seminary in Louis ville asked for some additional en dowment, and in a short time $53,- 223.00 was given. This was a grand meeting. “The ladies’ meeting was the larg est and best in its history. Their of fering for the year amounted to $112,- 042. 38, and the women of South Caro lina are third in the list for the amount done. Virginia and Georgia are ahead of them. The Baptists last year built an av erage of four churches per day and a fund is now being raised which will greatly help the work in newly set tled sections of the country. “The pulpits of the city were filled last Sabbath by the convention, and between fifty and one hundred con versions were reported. There were twenty-five in one church. The next session will be in Kansas City, Mo. Even a blind man can find his way through an open door.

Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be able to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks It is rare that the employer will not be the best salesman. The reason issimple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carry weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
