MARLIN MAN NAMED STATE
BAPTIST VICE PRESIDENT

Officers Elected at Annual Texas
General Convention
of Church.

         Rev. S. D. Dollahite, pastor of the First Baptist church of Marlin, was one of three vice presidents elected by the Texas Baptist General Convention at its session in Waco Wednesday.  By a rising, unanimous vote, Dr. L. R. Scarborough, head of the Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary at Fort Worth, was reelected president of the general convention.  Other vice presidents chosen were Dr. L. M. Latimer of Austin and Dr. W. S. Allen, acting president of Baylor University, Dr. J. L. Truett of Whitewright and Dr. D. B. South of San Antonio were re-elected recording secretaries and R. H. Coleman of Dallas was chosen to succeed himself as secretary.
       Dr. Allen welcomed the visitors to Waco and the response was made by G. L. Yates of Amarillo, who held a revival in Marlin last spring.  Dr. G. W. Truett of Dallas led in prayer in recognition of Armistice Day by the convention.  Tributes to the late President S. P. Brooks of Baylor University were paid by Dr. Scarborough and others.
       Convention committees included Rev. Dollahite of Marlin as a member of the one on order of business.
       In addition to messengers from the Marlin church and the delegation representing the local auxiliary at the Woman's Missionary Union meeting preceding the convention, a number of other Marlin Baptists are attending sessions of the big statewide Baptist gathering.
