nominationsDislike S. S. Lessons.
Baltimore, Special. The keynote
of Thursday's session of the South
ern Baptist convention - was the de
velopment -of sentiment favorable to'
severing all connection with other
denominations and to reaching out
for a broader field. The first was
shown by action looking to the aban
donment of the use in Southern Bap
tist Sunday schools of the Interna
tional Sunday school 'lessons, and the
second by the apparent intention to
admit to fellowship in the Southern
body churches 'in territory Jiitherto
left entirely to the Northern Baptists.
The Rev. Geo. W. Daniel ol Rich-
. mond, Va., said that the Southern
Baptists lack organization and ade
quate v system of missions, and can
never under present conditions, be
come a world power in missions but
rests upon the "Laymen's Missionary
movement 'to save the day. -

the army under the terms of the
Foraker , act. Up to date only six
of the fourteen have indicated desire
