The Atlanta, Constitution, May 13, 1889

THE BAPTISTS -- The Memphis pulpits filled by them.



A large convention listen to Dr. Hawthorne --The
Boyce Memorial exercises -- Several Addresses.



Memphis, May 12. [Special] --  A bright sabbath
beamed on the convention and the churches generally
were crowded with devout worshippers. Rev. Dr.
PARKER, of England; Rev. Dr. HAWTHORNE, of Alabama;
Rev. Dr. BROADUS, of Louisville; Rev. Dr. ELLIS, of
Baltimore; Rev. Dr. EATON, of  Louisville, Rev. Dr.
CARTER, of North Carolina, Rev. Dr. DRISCOLL, of
Baltimore; Rev. Dr. Lansing BURROWS, of Augusta, and
others preached, and a profound impression seems to
have been made on the crowds in attendance. Drs.
BROADDUS and HAWTHORNE drew the largest crowds.




                BOYCE MEMORIAL EXERCISES


The beautiful and spacious Cumberland Presbyterian
church was crowded at 3:30 this afternoon in
attendance upon the "Boyce memorial service"
appointed by the convention.  The meeting was
gracefully presided over by Rev. Dr. J. L. BURROWS,
of Virginia, who introducted the exercises in a few
appropriate remarks in which he spoke of Dr. James
Pettigrew BOYCE as a man who had patiently,
diligently, and with splendid self-sacrifice,
pursued the one arm of his grandly successful life.




Rev. Dr. H. H. TUCKER, of Atlanta, paid an eloquent
and fitting tribute to the memory of "a prince and
mighty man in Isreal."  Rev. Dr. J. H. LUTHER,
president, of Baylor Female College, Texas, made a
touching and eloquent address in which he recalled
deeply interesting reminiscences of his college days
with Mr. BOYCE, at Brown University, and closed with
a beautiful poem, which he wrote on hearing of Mr.
Boyce's last illness.  Rev. Dr. E. C. Dargan, of
Charleston, S. C., spoke as a representative of the
city of the birth of the great man, and as one of
his old students, and stirred all hearts by his
thrilling eloquence.  Dr. W. E. HATCHER, of
Virginia, told a touching incident of meeting Dr.
BOYCE in London not long before his death. The
singing was very fine, and the whole service
appropriate, tender and melting.




                The "Kind Words" Publications


The committee on the Kind Words publications are
expected to report at 10 o'clock tomorrow, and it
seems generally understood that the report will be
favorable to the continuance of the series, and that
the convention will so decide.
