"I never bad such a time in my life as last year when I toured from New York to Atlanta with- the Journal Herald runners.

"Jrjrave firmly -resolved, however, to ,. ." make the trip from New York to At lanta over the national highway as soon as the baselJau season closes. And yon may know that I will watch the . newspapers closely to keep up with . the progress of the tour next month.

Cosmopolitan Gathering Ever Held on Continent . ; : Unprecedented ior its cosmopolitan ism, unequalled in the magnitude of its constituency, and, unsurpassed as a spectacle, the recent World's Sixth Sunday School Convention in Wash- ingtonpD. C, May 10-24, marks an event in religious history. President Taft was not alone in ex pressing amazement over the size and character of the Convention. He look ed out over a sea of six thousand faces on the opening night, while outside tbe Convention Hall a still larger dum ber of persons congregated, unable to enter. Nearly twenty-live hundred of tbe official delegates wore red ribbon badges with the legend "North Amer ica." Some five hundred. others wore blue badges bearing the names of mare than fifty different nations, as remote as China and South America, Turkey and Australia, In addition to these three thousand official and rep resentative delegates from every State and province in the United States and Canada and from foreign lands, there were about seven thousand un official delegates or visitors. Some times three and four simultaneous Convention sessions were inadequate to bold the throngs. It was a spectacular Convention. The great Men's Bible Class Parade on the afternoon of May 20 opened the eyes of Washington to the virility and masculinity of modern religion; In order that some members of Con gress might march in the parade, as they did, and that others might wit- ness u, congress aojournea eany on the day of the demonstration. Tor rential raina immediately preceded and followed the parade, largely re ducing the ranks; nevertheless five thousand men in bannered procession a mile long marched down Pennsylva nia Avenue, and were reviewed at the Capitol by a throng of ten thousand persons. All these marching men belong to the Sunday School, and the thought uppermost in the minds of many of tne spectators wno lined toe sidewalks was expressed on one banner, " Where the men lead the hoys will follow." A huge mass meeting for men, -with ring ing -epewbesby Rev. Dr. Homer C. Stunts and Rev. Dr. S. Parkes Cad man, followed the parade. At. the same tune two big meetings of women delegates 'were in session. Another spectacular feature of the Convention was a great open-air gath ering on the east steps of the Capitol when a multitude of people joined in the singing of Christian hymns, s The demonstration accorded Presi dent arfd Mrs. Taft whom the former introduced to the cheering throng as 'Hhe real president" stirred the na tion's Chief Executive greatly. He declared his belief in the fundamental importance of religious training of the youtn of tne nation through the Sunday School. The Convention sat with a monster map of the world before its eyes. The official button showed the globe with a red cross superimposed there upon. Part of each day was given to a "Roll Call of Nations." The ends of the earth came together at .Wash ington. . . y - ; Strikingly, the note of international! peace resounded from session to ses sion; the depth of conviction upon this subject which possessed the dele- gats made . the gathering worthy to rank among the great peace confer ences. V,. '., -';-V , On the dosing night of the. Conven tion there was a tableau of seventy five children reproducing the picture which this Convention has made fa. mous: '.The Twentieth Century Cru saders." The children of many na tions gathered under the Sunday School flag. At the same time dele gates gathered from many lands'Ko rea, China, India, Japan, Mexico, Bra sil, Turkey, etc. gathered on "the front of the platform and all sang to gether to one tune, hnt each in his own tongue, one of the familiar Chris tian hymns that is eung the world Over - - '--J The' statistics of the Convention were presented' at this time, tbe bag of each nation being added to a dis play stand Ss the'figTiree from that land was given. The total showing Is 27,888,479 members, of whom above 16,000,0000 are found in the United States and Canada. v This includes 2,5000,000 officers and teachers; the number of schools reported being 285 842.". All ages from octogenarians and other adults by the million to infants 00 the cradle; roll and in the kinder garten department are now found in the Sunday School. This vast eom- pany is scattered over tbe habitable globe, the increase in non-4;hrishan lands being especially noteworthy, ' Reports from Mr. J. F. Cannon, who underwent an operation for appendicitis-at Long's Sanitarium in States Ville laat week,, state that he is im proving nicely and gradually regain ing his strength. ... - ' " " ' ' '," . : - -- SON TAKEN FEOM FATHER.

The Newton correspondence of to day 's Charlotte Observer has the fol lowing of much interest in Concord : A marriage of special interest to a a large number Of friends in Newton, but which has come as rather a sur prise to many. is that of Mr. A.

The young couple will return to Newton tomorrow.. - ' . SPLIT, ON DIVORCE QUESTION. Argument Almost Causes Division Among Leaders in Presbyterian As sembly. Faced with a division amongst leaders that seemed well-nigh irrecon ciliable, the General Assembly of the Southern Presbyterian Church yester day postponed for one year action on the question of the attitude of the Chureh toward marriage and divorce. The resolution for postponement was based on "the fact that there is not sufficient time for thorough delibera tion on such an important subject." The same committee which, has had the subject under consideration for a year was continued. That com mittee had been unable to agree on a report, two of its members being in favor of the assembly keeping hands Off the matter, two in favor of recognizing only adultery as a ground for divorce but ajlowing the "guilty party" to remarry when the Church was convinced of his repentance, and two had not made up their minds on the subject. Provision . was1 made for a com mittee to confer with the Associate Reformed Presbyterian Church about closer, relations. The assembly also sugested its willingness to appoint a similar committee to confer with the United Presbyterians. During the day LouisviHe, Ky., was chosen for the next plae of meet ing.. The report of a special commit tee having in view the increase of the importance of the Synods was laid on the table after a debate of some length. The commission to pass on the complaint of Rev. W. J. Sinnott against, the Northern Presbytery of Alabama decided adversely to the min ister. ' The Presbytery had declared in favor of the prohibition amendment in Alabama after the complainant, the commission was told, had expressed views publicly against prohibition. Business was rushed through the assembly with great speed and the indications are that the assembly will adjourn today. Mrs. William H. Gibson Entertains the Children. ' Mrs. William. H. Gibson ended her round of entertaining on yesterday afternoon with the nicest party of all. Fourteen children' were invited to lit tle Jenny Gibson Brown's first JWfty), complimentary to Misses Juargdret Louise and Nancy Carr.

At each child's plate was a mug of milk and bread and butter and jelly sand wiches were handed. After that ice cream, little cakes and peppermint candy came on. After this wholesome supper the babies had another hour ..I 1 - . i .i M oi nappy piay, ana most oi mem were so loth to go home that some persuas ion was necessary. When little Tom Coltrane was told he could drive home with Jenny, he said, "but I'm not ready to go yet, the party is not half over."
