Banner for Best Average During the Year is Presented to Union of First) Baptist Church of Columbia? Exodus of Delegates at Close of Last Night's Session?-Convention Has Been Successful One and Plans Were Completed for Great Work During Year. From The Daily Item, Feb. 18. The final session of the twentieth annual session of the Baptist Young People's Union was held in Grace Bap? tist Church last night with an aud? ience in attendance which taxed the capacity of the building. The fea? ture of the session v*as the address by Dr. David M. Ramsey, president of Greenville Women's College at Green? ville on "The Young, People and the Nation" in which the speaker stressed the necessity of proper training in order that good citizens might be made for the State. The meeting has been a successful one. The attendance has been as large as at any of the previous con? ventions, although it was not as large as had been expected this year. How? ever, the plans formulated at this ses? sion are expected to result In a much larger attendance next year. Secre? tary Watts sounded this forecast, when he stated that a hundred new unions I would be organized during the year. I Only forty were organised during the past year, two less than during the 1 year previous, but with ' the plans i completed at this convention well un- ' der way, it was confidently expected' i that the century mark would be pass- i ed In 1916. The banner for the best average I made during the year was given to the union of the First Baptist Church 1 of Columbia. This union had an av- i erage of 89 and Conway came second i With an average of 87 6-6. The re- ] port on Making the award was made l by the'chairman of the committee. It was also announced that hereafter the southern standard of excellence would tie used m determining the win? ner of the banner. All unions having in average of over 90 would be placed In class A and the final average would f>e made from the quarterly re ports of the secretary of each union. The resolution of thanks to the cltl lefis of Sumter, the local unions, and ill committee* ior their effort* in tnakinr/tlie convention a'succeed were iihaninvopsly adopted' The night session opened with the usual devotional excrcjises, aft^i which the reports of the resolutions and Dann er awarding committees were re? ceived, the banner being presented to :ne First Baptist church of Columbia mion. Dr. Ramsey's address was one of :hc strongest of the session and was Hied wjth much matter for thought, aood advice was offered to the young people present on becoming better citizens of their country. General Secretary Watts made a few closing remarks of encourage? ment to the unions represented at the convention and urging them to harder work during the coming year, promising the best meeting at Spar tanburg next year in the convention's history. President Hurts express? ed bis gratitude at the interest shown during the convention and the aid which had been rendered him by com? mittees and delegates, and after a short prayer, the convention had end od. At the afternoon session "B. Y. P. U. Methods" were taken up and stud? ied under the dlreciion of Frank H. Lcavell. A pleasing feature of the meeting was the demonstration doc? trinal meeting by the First Baptist church union of Darlington. This was well prepared and delightfully rend? ered. Mr. Leavell in his review urg? ed the resort to praise and encourage ment rather than criticism or censure In securing the best results from union members. Mr. Leavell, who is field secretary throughout the south for the Baptist Young People's Union, was called on frequently during the convention and he was always ready and willing to offer good advice or assistance. Dur lng the session he more than ever be? fore endeared himself to those who already knew him and he made friends of all who heard him and had not known him before. CONSIDER SITUATION GRAVE.
