Notes and Personals.
Eov Thomas do Gruehy, pastor of
the Jnckon Street Paptlst chinch, has
returned from the Paptlst Young Peo
ple's union convention nt Richmond,
Vn , und speaks In glowing terms of
the treatment accorded the delegates In
tho South dmlng the five; days of the
convention, '
The weather was exceedingly warm
dining the sessions, but the enthusi
asm of the delegates was unlimited,
nnd it was undoubtedly the most suc
cessful assembly In the annals of tho
mganlzntlon.
The pilnelpal address was made by
Rev. Dr. Henson, of Chicago, III., on
"Dlsclples-hlp," nnd Rev. Woelfkln, of
Ihonkljn, N. Y, also spoke on tho
subject of "Disciples und Christ." The
convention was attended bv 8,000 dele
gates, lepiosontlng societies from
every state In the union nnd also from
Nova Scotia and Canadn
The convention was held In the Ex
position building, which Is the largest
assembly hall in Richmond. The dele
gates weie lojnlly entertained, and
one of the featuie3 of the meetings
was the singing by a choir of TOO voices,
nil residents of Richmond.
The excursions nnd side trips ai rang
ed bv the entertainment committee
were thoioughly enjoyed, particularly
the outing nt Dutch Gap, which Is n
famous historical point. About 300 del
egates were ptesent fiom Pennlvanla
nnd fltty of that number wete fiom this
vicinity.
"The three pilnelpal attractions of
Richmond to my mind." said Rev. de
Gruchj-, "were the Jefferson hotel, the
state house and the women. Tho hotel
Is one of the Unest In the woild, and I
know what I am talking about, as I
have visited many of them In this
country and In Ihuopo during my trav
els; the state house Is a magnificent
bhlldlng and Is not sin passed bv any In
the t nlted States It was erected at a
tost of $2,noo,ono.
"But the women," said the genial
clptgyman, "are the most beautiful I
have ever seen, and that Is no dispar
agement to our own AVest Scianton
beauties. They aie tho typical south
ern belles we lead about In novels and
are beiutifut bojond oxpiosslon."
Next Sunday evening Rev. de du
chy will give an oxtcmpoinneouU talk
to his congiegatlon on his tilp thioilgh
the Miuth, which Included Washington,
LSiltlmoie nnd other points of Inteiest
di:ath or two old residents.
