Rosman Section Of Brevard News H* F* WRIGHT, Manager ? Rosman, N. C. ^ OUR TRIP TO CHATTANOOGA (Continued -from last week) Mnnv important and itVeivsting things could be said concerning the sessions of the Southern Baptist con volition. Many matters of vital in terest to all of our people were i:?n siUered by this, great body ot Chris tian men and women. Perhaps, the magnitude of, this, annual jvallH?ring of Southern Baptists shoujd be men tioned here. Representatives from j 18 states were there. Many repre sentatives from the North and from other nations were there; around : 15,000 in all. This convention, no | doubt, could furnish as many m- j formed men and women, as many i leader:! and platform orators its any , other religious organization . that meets on this or any other continent. , No doubt, the number of devout. Godly, conscientious workers could not be surpassed from any other group in the world. A pastor from one of our leading Southern church- , es told of being invited to preach at Baltimore; a colored brother was asked to lead in the opening prayer, who began by saying, "Lord, we thank Thee for sending this good brother up here to preach for us. Yes Lord, he came from away down South where the Kingdom of God is." Southern Baptists have made a favorable impression, not only on their fellows nearby, but throughout the world we are known and respect ed; not only, for our piety, but for, deep convictions on vital matters, funadmental principles and loyalty , to God's eternal word, and our stand- 1 :ird of morality and ideals of citi :;enship. On Thursday afternoon a very in teresting discussion occurred when Dr. Chas. E. Maddry, of North Caro lina, offered a resolution to abolish the education board of the Southern Baptist convention. No more state* , lv speaker graced the stage than Dr. Maddry, and he carried a heavy ma jority of that great convention^ with him. Notwithstanding an effort was , made to steam-roller his resolution, Dr. Maddry won by a large majority. After the afternoon session, our , artv went out to look about and find supper; finally coming to he market. Here we saw large quantities of fresh fish. Th* is equipped with an up-to-date cook ing outfit and lunch room. Wc or tiered a supper of fish, corn bread and hot coffee. _ A supper indeed it was, and we enjoyed it to the full. At 7:30 we returned to the audi torium for the. evening session. It ?*-4vas foreign mission night for the, convention. Dr. T. B. K y _ charge ?f the program- On the stage , were seated a number of returned foreign misisonaries. Also a numbe , of native representative workers a . leaders from foreign nations. A Kreat and beautiful host oftrained young men and women, who . ' prepared themselves for ioreign mia- , sion work were also on the stag . , These the board has been unable to , sendforlack of funds. Of special interest was the addresses of those field? One' from "hina spoke. One "d.'SS, enthusiastically r. ceived. Then, too, there was a rep resentative from Rome.
