SOUTHERN BAPTISTS (Continued from First Page.) that the southern men were proverbially gallant and would hesitate long before slighting a woman, but he believed ihe women themzelves did not want to enter into the deliberations. Mr. Christian of Louisville was about to make a speech in the same line when the troublesome motion was withdrawn aud the dangercus bar in the channel was pass- ed for the time. The Sex Question Renewed. A motion was made by Dr. Hatcher of Richmond to invite to the flcor visitors from other Baptist churches than those in the conference. This was favorably re- ceived, but again the sex question came to the front in the shape of an amend- ment by Dr. Wharton of Maryland, to the effect that the ladies present should be allowed to vote if they desired to do so. This caused commotion at once, and there were several delegates calling at once that the matter had been settled already. Dr. Whartcn drew the distinction that the former decision related to the ladies speak- ing as well as voting. After considerable sparring Dr. Whar- ton’s. amendment was ruled out of order, and an appeal was ‘immediately taken. @n a division the chair was sustained by a large majority. The motion of Dr. Hatcher was then carried, and, it being discovered that the secretary had not taken his post, being absent, Mr. J. C. Moss, state presi- dent of Virginia, was elected to serve until he should arrive. Dr. Muir's Welcome. Rev. Dr. Muir of the E Street Baptist Church of this city was introduced, and in behaif of \the Baptists of Washington warmly welcomed the delegates to the city. He spoke of Washington as a city belong- ing pecuifarly to all the people, so that the guests were not to regard themselves as strangers. He believed that the present movement had a splendid prospect for suc- cess, and made a feeling reference to the work of the conference. Rev. Dr. Landrum of Richmond spoke briefly in response. He said that the dele- gates were filled with loyalty to the coun- try and that, as Americans, they felt entire- ly at-bome In Washington. Resolutions Offered. Dr. Pitt, in order to get the main question of organization before the meeting, said that he had prepared some resolutions, which he read, after repeating his remarks that he had brought no pride of feeling to the conference in behalf of any certain plan of organization. The resolutions set forth that the need of more effective or- ganization among the young people of the Seuthern Baptist Church had been recog- nized and urged, and to this end declared in favor of such an organization. It was provided that a committee should be ap- pointed to retire and formulate a plan for organization, to report at 3:30. Other feat- ures of the formation of the union and its relations to the church were also discussed briefly in the resclutions. The resolutions were seconded, and the president was about to put the question when a delegate in the gallery made a brief speech, calling attention to what he thought to be an inconsistency in the reso- lutions. He did not insist, however, upon his point, and then Rey. H. H. Harris moved to send the third one of the resolu- ions to the committee. He urged that the resolutions should be adopted separately. A Procrastinating Substitate. Rev. Mr. Eaton of Louisville offered a substitute for the first resolution that caused a mild sensation. It provided that the whole question should be referred back to the churches in the conference, with the request that they instruct their mes- sengers so that the question could be set- tled at the next conference—in other werds, to postpone the matter for a year. After a sharp discussion as to just where this substitute should come in, Dr. Eaton took the platform in its support. He said that his motives should not be questioned in what he advocated, and went on to de- clare that the scheme for a young people's union was a part of a great general move- ment, which contains some good features along with a great deal of danger. There is danger in everything except in a grave- yard, some one had said,but this should not be allowed to stand in the way of any serious inquiry into the question of whether the good overbalances the bad. Some Sharp Objections. His first objection to the movement was that it is degrading the Baptist ministry, and creating a demand for “hustlers” rath- er than men who are learned in the Scrip- tures or safe and careful pastors. The peo- ple are impatient, too, of the older minis- ters, and the dead line is coming down. The movement, too, he asserted, is causing ministers to neglect their closets and SPECIAL NOTICES.

These read- ings were 2 degrees to 12 degrees higher than the highest previous record for that region for the first decade of May. In the rear of the low barometer area the wind has shifted to northerly, causing a fall in temperature of 10 degrees to 20 degrees in the upper Missouri valley.

It is also degrading the worship, and is making the services more of enter- tainments. He spoke feelingly of the ten- dency to compete with “music and flower shows” that some of the other denomina- tions are putting forth. He compared, with some scorn, the old ‘church of love” with the new form of worship. One new and not altogether de- sirable feature of the new style was the tendency to speech making. He spoke of @ recent meeting in Louisville, at which, it was proudly noted by some one who was present, there had been seventy-eight speeches made. His informant could rot tell him anything that had been said, but he had been very much delighted. Applause Checked. At this most of those present began to applaud, and there was a strong undercur- rent of hisses. One of the elders sitting by the pulpit got hasttly on his feet and protested against the toleration of ap- plause in a houge of worship. This was seconded heartily, and_a rule was adopted authorizing the chair to suppress xpplause. Dr. Eaton, continuing, protested that this speech-making is hurting the church. He said that the present system in the Louis- ville church of which he had spoken was called the “lightning hash service.” He went on to declare that the movement Fad a tendency to carry the members of the church away from the original views of the Bible. He protested against the use of the words “local..church” in the resolu- tions. What is a church, he asked, if it is not a “local church?” ‘The church is all one, and yet each one fills a locality fully and completely. : The feod Features. He then got down to the good features of the plan, and first of these was the fact that the movement is calling attention to the need of training the young people. But he criticised the form of the organization as proposed by the original resolution on the ground that it removed the contem- plated union too far from the direct control of the churches themselves. So he argued for a year’s delay, so that the churches themselves might be consulted. The young people, he believed, could be safely con- sulted. He quoted from the last utterance of the late Rev. Dr. Broadus, who was one of the originators of the idea of a general crganization, to show that he did not favor the proposed plan. Rev. W. C. Grace of Tennessee opposed the substitute, saying that there was no use in delay, as the whole matter was well crystallized. He urged immediate action. Rev. Dr. J. B. Gamble, president of the Mercer University of Macon, Ga., took the platform to oppose the position assumed by Dr. Eaton. His remarks put everybody in He declared that graveyards are danger- ous, the most dargerous, in fact, that a man can inhabit, being full of foul vapors and jack-o’-lanterns. He believed that one of the grave dangers of the church is that the preachers do not pray enough, but stopping a great work would not help them to pray more. He believed that the lack of prayer indicated a state of religious stagnation. It is a fine point, he said, for the brother to assert that the proposed union meant an increase of the “talking” in church work, but he did not think the point hit the pending question at all. There were many churches throughout the coun- try, he added, in which the young people are a help and an inspiration to the pas- tors. Wit Argument. One by one Dr. Gamble took up the some- what doctrinal arguments of Dr. Eaton, and caused a good deal of laughter by his sharp wit, in which his opponent good- naturedly joined. The speaker called attention to the fact that the Christian Associations are grow- ing in size and number very greatly throughout the country, and while he is glad of their prosperity, he deplored the fact that they are doing the work that the churches ought to do. The formation of the Young People’s Union, he declared, will tend to bring this work within the walls of the church, Sent to a Committee. A hungry member at the close of Dr. Gamble’s remarks moved to adjourn for diner. There was a brief spasm of con- fusion. = Dr. F. H. Kerfoot of Louisville, Ky., moved to refer the resolutions to a com- mittee, consisting of one member from each state. This was carried,and the chair appointed the committee as follows: Dis- trict of Columbia, C. C, Meador; Virginia, R. H. Pitt; Maryland, O. T. Gregory; North Carolina, T. H. Pritchard; South Carolina, A. J. S. Thomas; Georgia, J. B. Hawthorne: Alabama, A. J. Dickinson; Florida, N. A. Bailey; Kentucky, Center Helm Jones; Louisiana, W. S. Penick; Tennessee, I. J. Van Ness; Texas, J. B. Crawfill; Missouri, R. P. Johnson; Arkansas, A. G. McManna- way. The announcement caused some ex- postulations from the opposition, but the meeting was soon adjourned until 3 o’clock. BAPTIST EDUCATION. The First of the Series of Meetings Held Last Night. One of the most important organizations which hold their meetings in connection with the Southern Baptists’ convention oc- cupied the First Baptist Church last evening and inaugurated the great series of meetings which are to make this and the coming week long to be remembered in religious circles in this city. It was the Baptist Educational Society which occupied the at- tention of a large gathering of people last evening, who listened with close attention to a number of ‘important reports and in- teresting addresses. Ex-Gov. W. J. Northen of Georgia, one of the founders of the society and now its president, presided over the meeting last evening and made an appropriate address on the aims and objects of the society,and complimented the organization on the work that it has done in the past, with the hope that this meeting would inaugurate an ef- and fort of even greater usefulness in the edu- cational cause. Briet devotional exercises began the meet- ing, tce congregation singing a hymn,after whict Dr. Saunders of South Carolina read a lesson from the Scripture, and Dr. Adams offered prayer. Dr. Greene’s Welcome. An address of welcome on behalf of the local churches was delivered by Rev. Dr. S. H. Greene of Calvary Baptist Church, who added a few words to what Mr. Nor- then had said of the value of the work of the society and the necessity of its en- largement. Dr. Greene gave his hearers an idea of Washington as they would find it, assuring them that statistics and other proofs bore out the statement that this city is not only the most beautiful in the world, but is at the same time one of the most attractive in its moral tone and in its methods of government. The annual report of the executive board was presented by Dr. H. L. Moorhouse,the acting secretary of the society, who went over briefly the work of the society since its beginning, and, in more detail, over the work done in the past year. Acknowledg- ment was made of the indebtedness which the society feels to Mr. John D. Rocke- feller, who had given almost all of the $20,- 210 shown on the treasurer's books. Dr. Prestridge, the acting president of Williamsburg Institute, one of the schools referred to by Dr. Moorhouse, made an earnest plea for the further extension of the work and for financial aid which should be given to these needy institutions. Columbian University Endowment. One of the most interesting features of the evening, from a local point of view, was a report from the executive committee on the question of an adequate endowment for Columbian University. This, as all Wash- ingtonians know, is a subject which has long been agitated in the educational cir- cles of the Baptist Church. The report concluded as follows, after going briefly over the history of the efforts that have already been made: “The society, therefore, commends anew the claims of Columbian University to’ the denomination, believing that it would be discreditable to us, who were first in the field, and who have already so excellent an institution, largely attended, possessing a valuable property and partially endowed, to be outstripped by others entering this field, who, understanding the educational ad- vantages of Washington as a strategic cen- ter, are strenuously pressing forward their large educational projects. Though Colum- bian University should have a full million dollars more for its endowment, yet even with half that sum it could do a magnifi- cent work. The hour is at hand when friends of the university must decide whether it shall make a grand advance, or, relatively, go to the rear in the educational activities at the national capital. Realiz- ing that Columbian University is at a cri- sis in its history, the society thus calls at- tention to its needs, trusting that the time is near at hand when, with ample endow- ment, it shall enter upon a new era in its history.” How Prof. Mason Put It. Prof. Otis T. Mason, a member of the faculty of Columbian University, and one of the most entertaining of speakers, deliv- | ered an address, which had for its subject the District of Columbia as the center of university advantages. Prof. Mason showed that of all the large institutions of learning which have anything like suitable endow- ment Columbian does the work with prob- ably the smallest outlay. The university, which has an endowment of but $1,000,000, has 1,000 students enrolled in attendance, which makes the endowment per student only $1,000. At Johns Hopkins the endow- ment per student is more than five times as great.
