BAPTIST HOSTS
MEET HERE
(Continued from First Page.)
ology. Rev. H. W. Trittble, D. >D.. of
Charlo ties vi lie, led In prayer. The sing?
ing of "Lord Jesus, Founder of Love,"
was specially interesting from the fact
that the hymn was composed especially
for the occasion, by Rev. W. S. Leake,
pastor of Fulton Baptist Church, of this
city. The introductory sermon followed
"?nmediatedy after, and the statement that
it was one of the finest ever heard by the
association will echo the seh?ment of all
by whom it was heard. The' abilities of
Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, of this city, ?re well
known, but it may easily b? said that
rarely, if ever before, has he tested his
resources with such a magnificent result.
Largely historical and retrospective
though It was, surveying present situa?
tions and needs and looking (far Into the
future, this fact did not preclude an elo?
quent treatment of the subject. The clos
tst attention was given the speaker from
his lirst enunciation to his final wari
When he made his reference to the Amer?
ican negro, quoted below, an Irrepressible
wave of laughter passed around the au?
dience, and many expressions of "Amen"
were heard.
THE SERMON.
Dr. Hawthorne's sermon was from tho
text Matthew xili, 3S: "The Field is th?
World." He said In part:
"The nineteenth c-entury,. 'crowded, witn
achievements in science, government,
practical arts and Christian enterprises,
beyond all preceding years; is ne"W past.
The twentieth century, anticipated tor
many generat-oas as the" period' of, un-,
precedente?? progress in all that makes
tor is.e higher welfare of mankind, is
upon us. It seems to me to be wise
use of this occasion to survey the vast
field of Christian aetivn.-es, to review
the work already accomplished, ana to
calculate tho opportunities and possi?
bilities of the future.
"The Held Is the wc-rld." When tne
ancient Jew spoke of the world his
?..?bought ic/ompas-JiU ai.fy tn*e <?>unt> ?y
ly?ng around the (Mctiitcrranean. 'rnjs
was as far as his knowledge of the eartn
and its inhabitants extended, wnen
Jesus said: 'The field is the world',' and
'Go ye into all the world and preacn
the Gospel unto every creature,' ne haa
before his mind's eye every continent,
nation, kindred', tongue and tribe. Tne
field which his thought compassed in?
cluded all human beings then living on
the earth and their successors to tne
end of time.
"As a man develops in spiritual me
his vision, sympathies and plans of use?
fulness enlarge. Growing In knowledge
and grace, he grows in benevolent soli?
citude and activity for humanity every?
where and in every age. Tlie. Individual
who is concerned only about nis own
welfare and the nation which Iooks
only to her own good nave auopted tne
ignoble ethics of Cain, who saia: 'Am
I my brother's ketper?' How unwortny
such a man and such a nation illustrate
the spirit of that divine precept wmen
says: 'As ye have opportunity, ao gooa
unto all men."
THE WORLD HIS PROJr-KRTV.
1. When Christ seys: "The field is tne
world" it implies that the worla is K-s
property. He would not commission ills
servants; to occupy territory w-hich ooes
not belong to Him. he ?fs-.r.?;.??;
Lord's and the fullness thereof." ?ils
signature is upon It. it is m.priiuc^
in imperishable characters on every
rock, shell, leaf and flower under, tne
canopy of heaven. we. go .into any
quarter of the globe to preach .lie t?os-;
pel we? go by the authority of Him u?
whom the world belongs. .<o toot ot
earth do we occupy by suffranc?. it is
ours "because it is our Master's, our
title is registered in heaven und stamps
?with the eternal heraldry and signature
of the Almighty.
2. If the field is the world and we'are
divinely commanded to preach the Uos
pel to every creature we inter that an
men are in need of the Gospel. All are
in need of It because "all nave sinnea
and eome short of the felory of tro?."
Moral depravity is universal, "uur
mother took the poisoned cup and taint?
ed all our olood'." The trend of man's
moral nature is downward to the cust.
To reverse.this ?order and bring tne Hu?
man soul into sympathy with. tr?_- pu?
rity and righteousness is a work that
can be accomplished only by divine Wis?
dom and power. This wisdom and power
are in the Gospel of the Son of Coo.
Everything else has failed. The most
intellectual, learned antV rei.g.ous na?
tions of antiquity are grossly- immoral
Their-"Academic. Groves." and even tne'
places where then-, .most solemn reiigiou?
rites were performed, were sinks of de?
bauchery and shame.
If the Eternal Son of God has com?
manded? us to compass the whole worm
of mankind with our Christian activities,
and if His Gospel has.the same pu.-ty
ing and elevating power in every region
of the. earth, we must believe <.nat tne
human tribes have a common origin ana
should be recogn zed" as one" greiit mm
ily. This was Paul's "iinderst^hoing .ana
belief, when from the heights of .Mart
Hill he said to the haughty CreeKs:
"God hath made of one blood' an na?
tions."
"There are men among us who have no
sympathy with this doctrine. They are
utterly hostile to it. Recognizing the su?
periority of their Caucasian blood and an
cestry, they will not believe that they
are brothers to the man of long heel and
flat foot. They regard their short heels
and hollow feet and Grecian noses as in?
fallible proofs of a different and nobler
origin.
"In magnifying these differences they
lose sight of a thousand more important
features, in which every human being is
.exactly like every other human being,
if there were no liver in the body of thc
Chinaman, if the Esquimaux's brains
were in his heels and? the African's eyes
were in the back of his head, there would
be some show of reason in rejecting the
doctrine of the unity of the races, Uut
such physical differences do not exist.
MAN'S CONSCIENCE.
"As we get above the physical elements
in men their resemblances to each other
are still more apparent and striking. Ah
men are alike in that ail are endowed
with conscience. It is found in the brute
savage as well as in the. civilized man.
it is this universal faculty which renders
possible the moral elevation of the whole
human race. Every man has a religious
nature. Here he stands infinitely re?
moved from the brute. He will worship
something, but he knows not what to
worship until thc true and living God is
repealed to him. It is the blessedness
of that revelation which we bestow upon
him when we preach to him the glorious
Gospel of the Son of God.
"The fruits of Christianity arc the same
in every land and clime. We know what
have been the effects of Gospel inffiu-.
enee, upon the Caucasian race in this
and other countries. It,has made it the.
dominant race. The nations inhabited
by this race have given'to the world all
that is best and most enduring in civ?
ilization. We see what Christianity can
do for an inferior race when we look at
India. Over many parts of that dark re?
gion of idolatry, vice and wretchedness,
where Carey and'.Judson preached the
Gospel in the beginning of the last cen?
tury, there reigns to-day the prosperity,
purity, peace and 'happiness which dis?
tinguish Christian, civilization every?
where.
"Among those Chinese -who have for?
saken idolatry and embraced the Religion
of "Christ may be found thousands of men
and women adorned with all the Chris?
tian virtues, and intent upon keeping
step with other peoples in the great
march of progress. Present indications
warrant us in believing that China will
be a' civilized and? Christianized country
before the close of this century.
WHAT IT DOES FOR
"In our own land and in our own homes
we see what Christianity can do for the
African. How superior is the ehistlan
ized n*gro of -America to his :Kaffir, or.
Hottentot brothers roving amid his na?
tive jungles. The average American ne?
gro, though still vastly Inferior to the
average American white man,' is an angel
in comparison with his African, ancestors
brought to this coimlrj* i? New/England
slave ships. There is a book, widely cir?
culated in? this country, in which there is
a discussion to prove that the negro Is
a beast. While" I ara "no negrophobist, x
take no stock in the sentiment of that
blasphemous publication. If the neSro
is a brute, 1 do not hesitate to say that
there arc thousands of Industrious, law
abiding, educated and God-loving black
brutes In this country for whom I have
vastly more respect than for some drunk?
en, licentious, lawless, Infidel bipeds, who
call themselves men.
"When we consider what the Christian
religion has done during the last hundred
years in promoting material, religious
and social progress, who can doubt that
the obligation is upon the churches of
Jesus Christ to continue their evalgeliz
Ing work, and who can doubt that if
thqir efforts? ??houleD be ccrmmlensurate
with their, every-increasing opportunities,
they will, in th? next -hundred years,
overthrow all false religion, vanquish
all the forces of infidelity and skepticism,
and life the whole world of mankind to
that state of purity and happiness which,
in all past ages, has been the constant
theme of prophecy and song."
At the ce ncluslon of Dr. Hawthorn's
sermon the great audience at his request
united in singing the inspiring old coro?
nation hymn "Crown Him Lord of All,"
after which the Rev. H. W. Battle, D. D.,
of Petersburg, offered prayer.

UNITE IN A LEAGUE.
Most Important Action Yesterday by lhc
Educational Conference.
The Educational' Conference met at 4
o'clock in the afternoon in the main au?
ditorium of Grace-Street Church. Judge
W. R. Barksdale occupied the chair and
Dr. XV, R. L. Smith led in praytr. The
minutes of the meeting held on July iCth
were read by the secretary, the Rev. B.
?J. Hening, and were approved.
On behalf of the special committee ap?
pointed at the former meeting to draft
a plan for the unification of the vqrlous
educational institutions in the State un?
der Baptist control. Dr. W. E. Hatcher
submitted a report recommending the fol?
lowing as the fitting action to be taken
md to be sent to the General Association
as a response to its action taken at Bris?
tol last year, when it requested the rep?
resentatives of the various schools to
meet in conference and consider the ques?
tion of co-education:
"1. While highly commending the high
service which our people have rend.nvd
in the cause of Christian and denomi?
national education, we feel constrained
to report that the educational situation
among the Baptists of Virginia is in some
respects seriously unsatisfactory and
calls loudly for the correct attention of
all our people. We find that we have no
endowed schools in the State except Rich?
mond College, and even that institution
is by no means sufficiently equipped cr
endowed. Our chartered schools are in
most cases overflowing with patronage,
but utterly lacking in capacity for ac?
commodations, defective in equipment,
without endowment and more or less in
debt. These schools are doing earnest
work, but they all feel profoundly that
they are not fully prepared to do the
work required at their hands..
"2 It is our? profound conviction that
this condition of things will not be bet?
tered so long as a policy so impulsive, ec?
centric and? independent is pursued in our
educational .enterprises as now prevails
We believe that our schools ought to be
brought under denominational control
and that ample money ought to be given
by our people for their equipment and
support.
While not venturing to suggest anv
schedule of unification, we do express the
conviction that the united wisdom of our
people can devise a system of co-ordina?
tion for our schools suited to the princi?
ples and genius of our denomination?a
system that will suppress rivalries, es?
tablish better standards, hold and guard
our school property from loss, and yet
neither destroy the autonomy of the sev?
eral schools or disturb1 their local man?
agement
"4. We suggest also that this body
create an education commission, to which
these recommendations and suggestions
.be referred, with instructions to'siudy
tho subject in every aspect and formulate
a scheme of co-ordination for our schools
and present it to this boely next year for
it-3 final action. This commission, -rae
further suggest, shall consist o. fifteen
brethren.
.""i. We would further ask that the com-'
mission be authorized to inform itself as
tp the condition.-needs and perils of those
schools which may indicate their purpose
to unite in th*? cor-ordination system, and,'
sj far as it is able? to do so. to lend its
best influence in supporting any well-con?
certed1 movement whien-may be made for
relieving any of these schools from debts
which Imperil their pronertv."
The report was discussed at-length dj
the Revs. VT. E. Hatcher, D- \Ur. K. xl.
P?tCD.D, \c. Criedle, A. E. owe?,
D. D., F. H. James, D. D., and otnera.
after which it was unanimously adopted.
The conference hecrtlly passed a reeb
Intlop expressing ;.great sa..?-faction at,
th? action of the Board of Trustees bt
Richmond College 1n calling ur.
Hatcher to the work of enlarging tne
endowment of the college, and pledged
him its cordial support.

REPORT TO AS?SOCIATTON.
The action of the conference will now go
before the Generai Association for further
consideration.; Th?: report of the body
will be preserit?<Lby: Judge Barksdale. and
thi Committee on Order of Business? is
specially urged by the conference to pro?
vide ample time for the offering and dis?
cussion of the report. It is hoped that
the educational commission, which will
I probably be composed of men who are in
no wise connected with the schools, will
be appointed early in the session of the
association so that the institutions need?
ing helP may consult with it before the
delegates disperse. The commission will
bo such an Important factor in the educa?
tional work of the. State that the associa?
tion will probably appoint a special com?
mittee to thoroughly canvass the situation
and present the names of the persons
best qualified to.COnstitute it.
WILL SUPPORT CO-ORDINATION.
It is highly, interesting to note that the
association's Committee on General Edu?
cation, an institution entirely distinct
from the conference, will heartily endorse
the co-ordination scheme. Prof. Hudnall
is chatriwan of this committee and will
present his report to-day. He said last
night that this report would strongly urge
thc adoDtion of the unification idea.
