THE SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION
Delegate Tells Something of the
Working of the Recent
State Convention
To The Newark Journal
Thinking perhaps your readers
would like to lead a brief sketch
of the proceedings of the State
Sunday School Convention, about
which 1 wrote something a few
weeks ago, 1 will endeavor togi\e
you a sketch of the meeting.
At :> o’clock all the Sunday
schools of Fort Smith met at the
Christian church, where the con
vention was held, and formed a
procession of several hundred and
proceeded on a parade through the
principal avenues of the city, each
carrying a banner with a red cross
on it, below which were the words,
By This we Conquer,” meaning
by the cross of Christ we conquer
the world, the flesh and the devil.
This was a great scene and one
to inspire our hearts with hope to
see several hundred young people
enlisted in the great work.
At 7:30 o’clock the great con
vention was opened by the choir
of 250 trained singers led by Prof.
James, of Chicago, who insisted
on the whole audience joining in
chorus, whi<- they did, making
that great bu ding roar with the
praise of God n song. After ring
ing several '-.mgs, at s p. m., Lev.
John S. I enbum of the First
Presbyterian church of Little
Lock rend some scripture and
prayed a very earnest prayer.
Then the e was a genuine Fort
Smith w« Icome on behalf of the j
Sunday schools and churches, by
W. II. Johnson and on behalf of!
the city by Hon. Geo. Sengel. In
the course of his great welcome j
address Mr. Johnson said that all
the churches and Sunday schools I
of the city tendered the eon von- j
tion a most hearty welcome for the
great work they were doing to ele
vate the minds of the youths of,
our land.
In welcoming us on behalf of
the city, Mr. Sengel said, among
other thing, that every good man
and good woman in the city who
desired to see their children grow
up respectable, honorable, God
fearing citizens, extended to us a
hearty welcome, but, said he, alas,
there are some in this great city
who do not welcome you to our
midst.
Those who would ditile your
noble young men by strong drink,
and by gambling, and by debauch
ery of every kind do not welcome
you. Those who would destroy
the virture of your fair daughters
and b'-iug them down in disgrace
and shame do not welcome you to
our midst, for l'ear that you will
strengthen the sentiment that is
already in the hearts of all good
people against such things. But
1 say every man who wants better
times and better things for the
rising generation welcomes you
with all our heart.
Bro. Frank Barrett made the
responsive address in some well
chosen words, which he alone is
capable of doing, bringing down
that great audience in one con
tinued round of applause.
Then came the president's an
nual address by John II. Gregson,
of Jonesboro, in which he review
ed the progress ot‘ the Sunday

I c
a
school work for the year .just pass- e
ed. And with his great heart t
aglow with success that had at- ,
tended the work that had been (
done, and an earnest appeal for t
greater effort during the next year, c
he made a wonderful appeal which .
I am certain gave each one great ;
encouragement and increased their
inthusiasm in the work. |
Then came Rev. Hugh Cork, x
of New York, with a J>riliant ad }
dress on Sunday school work. I
wish 1 had space to recite every
word he uttered. His address was
something wonderful, indeed; and
c
it did one’s hearts good as he re- | ^
cited the great good that had been (
done by spiritual teaching in the I j
Sunday school. Among the many 11
good things, he said that he would L
not have a teacher in his Sunday ,,
school, which numbered 1,200 L
scholars, who did not know Jesus (
as a pardoning savior and who t
could not testify to the saving love f
of God in their hearts.
The secretary’s report showed)
that there had been a total of
150.20 collected by the Sunday ,
schools during the year, and pay- ,
ing all expenses there was a bal- ,
ance of §173.90 in the treasury. <
The next thing in order was the
appointment of committees, and
your humble scribe was appointed
on one of the committees, Bro. i
Sidney Pickens was appointed as- 1
sistaot secretary. W. R. Rick.

Gener**.! Scrap and Five
Were Shot
Iloxie, July Id.—A. negro bar
*ocue, held at Birgers on Satnr
lay, wound up in a tight in which
ristols were freely used and five
icgroes were shot. Will Bird and
iara Ivy quarrelled and finally got
nto a tight which culminated in
he shooting. Two mules who
vere playing the role of innocent
).ystanders and had taken no part
n the tight, were also struck by
tray bullets.

mrt.
ANOTHER STATEHOUSE ROW
Attorney-General Kirby and
>tate Agricultural Commissioner
jfuy B. Tucker are engaged in a
varrn newpaper controversy over
,he merits of the state convict farm
n Lincoln county, which was
hreshed out by several legislative
ommittees since the farm was'pur
hashed by the state, several years
go. The penitentiary board held
, meeting on the farm recently,
nd, when the attorney-general re
urned to Little Rock, he stated
hat the farm was not worth more
han half what the state paid for it.
le based his opinion upon the in
pection made by the board during
ts visit. Now comes Mr. Tucker,
/ho asserts that Mr.Kirby arrived
t the farm at 1 p. ni. ate his din
ier, and went fishing, lie took
nth him, says Mr. Tucker, a con
ict to bait his hook and another
o take his fishoti', and returned at
ark. The next morning he left
t 5 o’clock to resume his fishing
xpedition, with the same help, re
urned at 11:45, when the board
neeting had been called at 11
i’clock, and immediately after
djournment of the board, ate his
[inner and left for Little Rock.
According to this state of facts,
dr. Tucker says that the attorney
;eneral is not competent to judge
iow much the farm is worth, or
whether the state drove a good
•argain or not.
