SEVERAL HUNDRED STUDENTS
FROM ALL OVER STATE
AS DELEGATES.
BARBECUE FOR ALL VISITORS
Great Number of Able Speakers To
Appear on Programs Dur-
ing the Meeting.
The Fourth Annual Canvcntion of the
Baptist Student's Unions of Texas opened
Friday morninf at 9:15 with a general ses-
sion in the Auditorium of Abilene Hall.
An especially interesting feature of the
opening session was the music directed by
Professor I. E. Reynolds Director of the
School of Gospel Music Southwestern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary. After the mus-
ical program welcoming addresses as fol-
dows" were given: On the part of the Cit)
of Abilene Ma) or Chas. E. Coombcs! on
the part of Simmons College President J.
D. Sandefer; on the part of the local 11
S. U. Miss Elizabeth Fry its President.
The keynote address of the Convention was
delivered by Dr. Wallace Bassett Pastor
of Cliff Temple Baptist Church Dalla...
on the subject "The New Testament Ideal
for the Christian." This was followed b
an address "The Pre-eminence of Chris
lian Service" b Mrs. J. M. Dawson
teacher of the Fidelia Class of the First
Baptist Church Waco. A barbecue for
visitors and delegates on the college cam-
j)us was announced as the feature of the
noon-day Jiour.
Thus Simmons College has come to the
opening of the great religious contention
which she has been seeking for years and
for which she has been planning jnd of
which she has been dreaming since its
coming was assured by the vote of the
Convention last fall at Denton.
The last few days have been especially
busy ones for all the student body and
doubly so for those connected with the
organization work in completing the pre-
parations for the convention. Numerous
meetings and conferences have been held
final plans laid and kinks smoothed out
of the arrangements for the entertainment
of five of six hundred delegates from oth-
er schools who were expected to attend
The program in chapel Wednesday and
Thursday was devottd lurgely to this end
and final announcements were made by
the college and B. S. U. authorities 'lhui
day morning. The delegations to leprt-
sent Simmons in the Comenliun weic
elected by the various clashes Wednesday
morning.
Dr. Boone Stute B. S. U. Secretary
and Miss Alma Stack in charge of the II.
S. U. work in this district arrived tin the
ground in advance of the incoming delega-
tions. The first delegates arrived at 9:011
Thursday night on tho T. P.; the main
group from the institutions cast and touth-
east came in on a special train scheduled
to leave Fort' Worth over the T. & P. at
8;00 Thursday night and arriving in Abi-
lene about 12:45 Friday morning. Those
from Wayland and Canyon came in on
the Sunshine 'Special from the west Fri-
day morning. The incoming crowds were
met at the trains by cars and carried to
the homes ppened to them by the loyal
and hospitable citizens of tho city. It is
impossible at the time of going to press
to give the number of delegates who arc
in attendance but the number is estimated
at about five hundred or possibly ' six
hundred.
The program for Friday afternoon in-
cluded a scries of six conferences covering
tho period between 2:00 and 3:00; these
were the Laymen's Y. W A. Volunteers
Special Workers Ministers' Alliance and
a conference of pastors in the institutional
cities and and teachers in the institutions
represented. The visitors were then lo ac-
company tho Simmons students to Parra-
more field for the game between Canyon
