Lnte Dr. J. L. M. Curry, and Latter
Spoke in Momory of Dr.
Isaac T. Tichenor.
The storms which deluged Savannah
while the Souliiern Baptist Convention
was in session there, antl later fell In
cloudburst form on the city of Jackson?
ville, nlso hnd Its effect on the telegraph
and inali facilities, and In consequence a
part of tho full reports ot Ilio cunveii
tluti doings prepared and forwarded by
Thu Times-Dlspalch'S special envoy was
hung up In transmission. For Instance,
the reports of what was done on liisl
Sunday failed to reach hero In time for
the proper edition ot tho paper, and tho
samo being good Sunday reading matter
ami In good keeping condition, were held
oVei until to-day.
Bast Sunday was tho stormiest day of
the entire session of the convention, and
severnl of tho appointments for services
wore cancelled necessarily. However, by
aid of cabs and umbrellas, the peoplo
flecked to the churches, the pulpits of
most of which were tilled by Baptist dl
A-lnes.
Tho committee that arranged tho ser?
vices for Sunday demonstrated, how the
eternal fitness of things can be mndo lo
fit on any and all occasions by appoint?
ing tlio Rev. John AVilllnm Jones, D. D.,
of Richmond, to preach In the afternoon
to the Confederate veterans and the l??
malos of the Soldiers? Home. This ser?
vice took place at i o'clock In tho Trinity
Lutheran Church, and was attended by
the. old gray cents and about six hundred
ether Interested listeners. Tho doctor
preached a doctrine he so much ??????,
his theme being "The Christian Character
of Stonewall Jackson?"
PULPITS IN HOTEL? PARDORS.
Tho rain fell lu such torrents nil day
H was simply Impossible for nil the Peo?
ple, especially the ladles, to go to church,
and so Improvised services wero held In
most of the hotels. Rev. Dr. A. E. Owon,
of Portsmouth, preached In tho morning
to a largo congregation in the elegant
parlors of the DeBota. In the afternoon
n. half dozen ewcel singing young mun
gathered around a piano In the rotunda
of the same hotel and commenoed to sing
hymns. Soon they were surrounded by a
large crowd of peoplo, many of whom
Joined In tho singing,'and Dr. Owen, who
happened to lie in the crowd, was called
on to pray. Soon Dr. AVUllnghnm, secre?
tary of tho Foreign Mission Board, was
seen In the orowd, nnd he was asked to
mako a talk. "Foreign Missions" is al?
ways Dr. AA'llllngliam'fi thome, and on It
he spoke mosjt eloquently. AVhen he was
through nn Alabama well to do merchant
of tho Baptist faith, walked up to the
doctor and handed him $500 for foreign
missions. This was follow??d by other sub?
scriptions, and more than enough was
raised to support ono foreign missionary
for a year. The singing and praying fol?
lowed for quite ? while. Religion nnd a
spirit of missions pervaded the very air
nil around nnd about tbo convention.
MEMORIAL? SERVICES'.
Tho principal feature of Sunday's ser?
vices directly under tho auspices of tho
convention were the memorial services In
the afternoon In honor of Rev. Dr. Isaaa
T. Tichenor nnd Rev. Dr. 3. L?. M. Curry,
two distinguished former members of the
convention, who have died since tho last
year's session. Dr. Tichenor was for
many years the secretary of the Home
Mission Boartl, nnd died in tho harness.
At this memorial servico, which was hold
in the AA'esley Monument.Church (Metho?
dist) a most eloquent tribute was paid to
the memory of the deceased Focrotary hy
the Rev. Dr. J. B. II aw tho ine, of Rich?
mond.
Tho address on the life and char?
acter of Dr. Curry wns by the Rev.
Dr. AV. H. AVhltsltt, professor of church
history of Richmond Collego.
Dr. AVhlt.-ltt's was an eloquent and
Beautiful address, Re spoke of Dr. Cur?
ry as ? scholar, patriot, orator, states?
man and as a Baptist, but, In tbe opin?
ion of the upon Iter, Curry wns greatest
ns a teacher of the vouth of the South.
Along this Une he said:
AAV aro prmiil to Inscribe the name
of Curry In our guild of teachers. His
Incomparable powers rendered him facile
princeps In every other sphere, and ho
kept his ohi time rule and likewise stood
among -??a foremost here. Tho qunll
1 os that,.brought him success In this
field ?ire well worthy of attention.
In the first plate, he possessed a mns
Hlve character. A great man Is tho high?
est gift of (,nd. ? gnat man la of morn

great scholar. The moral element is
the most valuable ?if all in the teacher's
nrt. In Iho lecture hall the man Cur?
ry towered aloft, nis form and pres?
ence, his history nnd sentiments, his
prospects nnd connections filled the eyes
and thr iloti the heurts of student vouth.
They glassed themselves In the mirror
of his personality and plumed themselves
for bravo achievements.
Ho possessed good learning. His ap?

HIS SCHOLARSHIP.
Tho poise of this great man wns so ad?
mirable that people somo times fancied
that he was a man Of leisure. There
wns no sign of buste; but, likewise, there
wns no rest. He possessed what the Ger?
mans call Iron Industry. He was admir?
able. In scholarship, and yet he prepared
for every separate appearance With
minuteness and system, Almost nothing
was trusted to the Inspiration of the
hour. Ills reading was wide and varied,
but tho rights of the dailv lecture omini
not bo neglected; Tho responsibilities
of his office wero ever upon his heart,
and the Interest of his classes appealed
to him everywhere. ,
Bent of al], ho was a genius, endowed
with lite faculty of attracting and win?
ning nil sorts of people, nnd he was glad
to exert that faculty upon Ills students.
Tho topic became so luminous and Im?
portant under his touch that they could
hardly fall lo rouse themselves and lay
hold upon It. it wus an experience of
Ufo to sit at his feet. From every
point of view ho was a famous toucher.
Richmond College Is Justly proud of his
iiunio anil memory. Thoy are precious
to till who udmlrc her filine nini merits.
There nro few Institutions that havo ob?
tained a richer treasure. His devotion to'
tho sohool followed lilm everywhere, and
from ills travels would come many me?
mentoes of his Interest to enrich both
tho library and museum. It was fitting
tliat when bo passed away Ills body
should be brought back to the college to
lie In stato lu lier chapel under tho pro?
tection of students who revered his mem?
ory and will be glnd to loll It to posteri?
ty thnt they wero honored by such' a
sorvlce.
Almost Immediately after the fall of
the Confederate govornmont tue various
States of the South made the same pro?
vision for the education of tho chil?
dren of the African rnce, then just freed
from slavery as for those of tlio Anglo
Saxon race. This wns truly a generous
and honorable policy. When ono consid?
ers nil the olrcumstances, he must con
codo that siB-h action would hnvo been
worthy of the foremost nations of his?
tory. It was tlio deed of a Just and htgn
hearted race, to open tire same door of
iiopo to tho sons of the African as to
tholr own sons. They did not Invite
tin wrtuu of God by acts of oppression
to tho weaker race. Our children, to the
remotest gendrntions, must be grateful
for the enlightened nlvlc i-ecord which
titoli- fathors made. Thelr's was not the
bearing o, no lesser breeds without the
law.
FOR SIXTEEN YEARS.
They did the best thc-v could. At the
outset there was little to bestow whether
upon thCTson of the African or the Anglo
Saxon. Tho war belwcen the States last?
ed sixteen years. During tbe first four
years it was waged with blood and iron,
resulting In the surrender of our armies
and the abolition ot slavery. During thu
last twelve years It wat, waged with
ollioi.lions that wero scarcely less
destructive to the material Interests, of
the country and resulted In the triumph
of the Anglo-Saxon race who bad regain?
ed control of all the State governments.
Neither In this ?lark period nor at any
subsequent period has a single Southorn
State faltered in policy of extending the
snine. advantages to both races. 1 trust
that wo shall always maintain this poli?
cy.
Seeing that we wore heavily burdened
nnd that our resources wore sadly crip
plod, Mr, George l'enbody came to our
nsslstrinoo In ISGll with ? gift of three and
it' half millions of doliti ??. This large
fund was administered by a board of
trustees, who elected Rev. Barnas Sears,
D, D,. president of Brown University,
tie tholr general agent. He retained tho
offlco until his death In ISSI, when Dr.
Curry wus chosen to succeed him.
Mr, Peabody, who bestowed this fund,
was a Cfingregntlonallst. while Sears nntl
Curry were both Baptists, It Is not
necessnry here and now to declare the
exnot relationship of theso two denomi?
nations, but they belong to one and the
same family typo und in this Instance
we hnvo occasion to be proud of Iho
achievements of the family, it purchased
unto Itself u good degree in the service
of God and mon.
WROUGHT NOBBY.
th? greatest of these Is Curry. Each
of the thren wrought nobly, yet it seems
clear thnt Curry excelled thorn all. There
was a pre-established harmony between
him und the office, to which bo had
been c-nlled. lie was on ? footing of
Freomnsonry with the Soutliorn people;
his ?energy never slept; his eloquence was
enchanting; ills temperament was hopa
ful? bis sentiments were enlightened;
bis judgment was trustworthy; bis en?
thiiHlimni was inspiring; his bearing con?
ciliatory and bis social form complete.
He. swayed great assemblies; ho con?
Ht mined groat Senates; he wrested with
'? til?!urale i-imunlttees; he persuaded un?
willing off|clala? li? believed In helpless
childhood; he hail vision? of ?, coming
inillenluin. Who Is loft behind thai i"
libi?.? tfi bend his bow'f Ho stands among
the highest figures or hi? generation
His lame will grow and grow in nil the
years to come. The mighty educational
revival tlnit Is now abroad owes much
to the Impulso which ho conveyed, it
Is tho glory of his closing days, tho
nobU'Hl nchiovomcnt of Ills life.
The speaker then ro\'low?M lirlafly the
cnloer of Dr. Curry In the diplomatic
service nnel concluded his admirable ad?
dress ? ? follows; ,,
"Dentil etimo to him at Ashovlllp, In the
I.nnd 0 fthe Sky: there ho walked with
find and wns not. for O'od took him.
Thotico thoy brought him homo to Old
niellinomi, the city of his heart, nnel laid
him away among its mighty memories
and sorrows linrel by Ihe spot where
sleeps his friend nna lender, Jefferson
Davis. I'llfftlms shall como from many

Illustrious men. Ba?h hnd started fremi

'Nearly one year ago I begun the use of

of eiitlen duties had so weakened and Im?
paired my menta] powers that I felt the
Imperative need of something which nei?

able to supply.
"A week's use of Grape-Nuts twice each
day convinced, me that some unusual and
marvelous virtue was contained therein.
