Bailey, North Carolina, read the following report on General Work and Policy of the Sunday School Board. Within the brief period of fifteen years our Sunday School Board has established itself in the esteem of the brotherhood, the work of the churches, and in the economy of our Convention as a factor second to no other. It has made rich contributions to our benevolences, the amount for this year being more than $30,000, the total for fifteen years being about $200,000, the amount always increasing with the increase of the Board's business. In addition to this magnificent contribution, the Board's present assets, including a reserve fund of $50,000, amount to fully $200,000. But w e could not make a greater mistake than to measure the.work of our Sunday School Board in money. Great as the aggregate of its contributions is, the aggregate is insignificant in comparison with the actual service rendered by the Board. It has supplied our churches with a Sunday school literature, text-book and periodical, of the highest quality, representative of our best writers and commentators, and commanding alike the admiration of the roost critical judges and the support of our ministers and teachers to a very remarkable degree. Moreover, the Board has with great wisdom and boldness seized upon its opportunity of directing the religious educational activities of our churches. It is not content to supply them with an appropriate literature, but by means of appropriations to State Boards and the direct employment of traveling instructors has succeeded in reaching thousands of our teachers and workers and communicating to them a knowledge of the better methods in their great calling and implanting within them the aspiration to acquit themselves worthily. Of the same import is the Seminary Lectureship, which has had the effect of calling attention throughout our country to the pastor's central place in the Sunday school, and the new Chair of Sunday School Pedagogy in the Seminary, an original and yet orderly step forward, from which w e may confidently expect a farreaching improvement in our teaching work. It is safe to say that, in consequence of the policy of our Sunday School Board, we have throughout our churches a freshening of

PROCEEDINGS.

11

zeal, an interest in and respect for our Sunday schools, and a conception of their function, which amounts to a revival of the best sort. By reason of its literature and its policy of practical helpfulness, the Board is a factor in our denominational economy of the first importance. It is vitally related to our churches in their teaching function, which is at once the point of the layman's greatest usefulness and the churches' hope of progress. The Board is not only a great business; it is a dynamic institution. W e would call attention also to the Book Publishing Department. Its service by means of the Bible Fund is highly honorable to us; while its book business gives promise of the hour when this Board shall be the patron of our authors, the number of which is surely to increase. In truth, we should prepare our Board for the hour, by instructing it to accumulate a fund adequate to conduct a great book publishing plant, when from an extensive and rising constituency shall proceed an order of religious works that will command the admiration of Christendom. W e recommend that our Sunday school teachers take the excellent normal courses of the Board; that our churches render a more generous support to the Bible Fund; that a vote of thanks be tendered Secretary J. M. Frost for the gift of his book, "The Moral Dignity of Baptism." T h e report was discussed by J. W . Bailey, North J. W . BAILEY, Chairman, Carolina; C. C. Carroll, Florida; M .B UL. P. E.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.

SECOND DAY, AFTERNOON SESSION. 45. The Convention reassembled at 2 P.M., and was led in prayer by Curtis L. Laws, Maryland. 46. With Vice President Stalcup in the chair, the Convention considered the report of the Committee on Cuba, Isle of Pines, and Panama,

as read by E. B. Pollard, Kentucky, as follows: When Columbus set his foot on Cuban shores a new world swung into view. W h e n our Lord Christ comes in power on this island a new world will open to Cuban life, and through it to a vast territory to which Cuba is but the key. Every war fought by Americans has thrown new religious duties into our laps. Early Indian wars were not battles of extermination simply; they laid the spiritual destiny of the Red M a n upon our hearts. The war of the Revolution opened an immense continent of H o m e Missionary enterprise. The Mexican W a r gave us Texas, which, under H o m e Missionary labor, is passing rapidly from one of our greatest missionaryfieldsto one of our noblest missionary forces. The Civil W a r gave us new responsibilities toward "our brother in black"; and, last of all, the Spanish war opened new duties in the islands of the sea. Of these, none is strategically so important as Cuba. All our missionaries there are writing in a spirit of enthusiasm and hope. The signs are encouraging for a work of immense proportions in the years just ahead of us. The following are some of the elements of peculiar encouragement: The strong evangelistic spirit which seems to pervade the island. The number of conversions already reported is a cause of fervid gratitude to God. The new feling of political independence renders the land, in a sense, virgin and fertile soil for the gospel as we preach it. Such centers of influence as Havana and Matanzas are rapidly growing, and furnishing to usfieldsof peculiar opportunity. The work of Superintendent W . N. McCall, the entrance of Dr. L. T. Mays and Miss Hattie May Moody upon thefieldsin Havana have encouraged greatly those who had already been so faithfully laboring. But, brethren, Cuba needs m e n and women. It needs chapels in which to preach. W e cannot afford to do a mere peripatetic work in Cuba; w e must have local habitations, if w e would have there a name, respected and influential. W e must secure lots and build houses. W e are to let the people know we have come to stay and to grow up with their country. Let our churches respond liberally to the call for money to build suitable houses, and to place men of power in important centers to shed the radiance of the gospel light to all Cuba. The needs are many and great, but pray do not forget that there are two things we must have—buildings for the preaching

of the Word, and m e n to respond to the evangelistic calls which cry out in the island on every hand. Three or four more American preachers should be put into thefieldsat once, if w e are to reap the harvest already white. Isle of Pines.

About fifty miles south of Havana lies the Isle of Pines—a fie we have entered with more encouraging prospects. Since people of the United States are going to this health-giving climate in large numbers, there are reasons to believe that in the near future a strong work may be built up in this delightful island. But we must not delay, if w e are to make it a possession for our Lord. Panama.

But the eyes of the world have been lately upon the canal zone. Baptists of the South, let not the political agitations and commercial features of this gigantic and far-reaching enterprise blind us to our Christian responsibility. Indeed, the material aspects of the undertaking should rather aid us to a better vision of duty. It is an enterprise which is destined to shift the center of population of the world, and give to the Western Hemisphere another new emphasis, the real meaning of which we can now but dimly realize. During last month (April), 27,000 workmen were employed upon the canal. These alone furnish afieldof no mean importance. There have appeared godly men among those sent to Panama by the government—men like the sainted Robert R. West, a Southern Baptist who laid down his life in the service of his country and his God. But w e must have men who can devote their whole lives to this importantfieldof spiritual service, which promises so much in the future progress of Christ's kingdom on this continent. In the days of Rome's greatness, the Mediterranean Sea was a huge Roman lake. In the material progress of this hemisphere, the Gulf of Mexico is to become a gigantic American lake, the center of an immense trade, the teeming highway for a prolific life. And unless signs fail, the key that is to unlock the continental situation, and open the doors of both Americas to the gospel of Christ, will not be so much through Central America, the countries immediately south of us, as through the islands of West Indies and the zone of the great canal. W e are to be in our generation both seers and apostles, in discerning and in executing the commands of our God as he bids us dose up this battle line, far-flung, but full of hope and glory. E. B.

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST CONVENTION.

47. R. W . Weaver, Maryland, read the report of the Committee on Cities and Foreigners. Three movements characterized the nineteenth century—the spread of education, the extension of democratic government, and the growth of great cities. Thefirsttwo movements contributed to the spread of Christianity as interpreted by Baptists. The last movement has created for Baptists their most perplexing and most baffling problem. In 1800 America had but one city with a population of 60,000; in 1906, forty cities with a minimum population of 100,000, while the six largest cities contained 12,000,000 of people. In 1930 the urban population will exceed the rural population, and the city will hold the reins of national government. For the follower of Christ, the political and religious conditions of our cities are matters of the greatest concern. Evangelical Christianity is facing the most acute situation since the Thirty Years' War. The crisis has come in our great American cities. Evangelical Christianity has sounded the retreat from these centers of population, and the peoples of alien religions are in many instances occupying the churches of our fathers. Our harbors are crowded with vessels bearing reinforcements to the enemies of the evangelical faith, and these reinforcements are taking possession of the cities. Large areas of population formerly occupied by well-to-do evangelical Christians are now the abiding places of foreigners—Roman Catholics, Jews and heathen. Among these peoples, the hope of establishing self-supporting churches is too remote to even be considered. The nations to w h o m we have been sending our foreign missionaries have arrived at our very doors. Does not the situation call for the same holy passion that our foreign mission leaders, acting under the inspiration of the Great Commission, have awakened in the Baptists of the Southland, as they have portrayed the condition of the lost heathen world? Shall we take a deeper interest in the spiritual condition of the lost men and women in China than w e take in the spiritual condition of the lost men and women who have come to us from other lands, and who are now our fellow-citizens and our neighbors? Patriotism and loyalty to Christ both urge us to immediate action; for this social avalanche of foreigners, crowding our great cities, threatens our civic and religious institutions. Although the Baptists of America have increased fourfold during the last thirty-five years, the per cent of increase from 1870 to 1880 was 74 per cent, while from 1880 to 1900 the per ceut of increase was 36. W e are still gaining rapidly in numbers throughout America, but our per cent of increase has declined steadily with the rapid growth of the great cities, and nowhere has our growth been so small as in these centers of population. Southern Baptists are not a city folk. The census of 1890 showed that less than four per cent of Southern Baptists lived in cities of 25,000 and over. There is no reason to think that in the pastfifteenyears there has been an increase in the percentage. During the past ten years the total population of St. Louis, Balti-

15

more, and N e w Orleans increased 400,000. The net increase of the Baptist churches in these cities has been only 1,300. The gam of these three cities in population has been three hundred times as great as the gains of membership in their Baptist churches, and in all the Baptist brotherhood there are not to be found better m e n in the pulpits, or more faithful laymen in the pews, than are to be found in the churches of these cities. They are not equal to the colossal undertaking of evangelizing their social environment. The H o m e Mission Board has aided to its utmost capacity all the large cities of the Southland in building new edifices, in sup-, porting the weaker churches, and in employing competent and consecrated missionaries. The assistance given in the construction of new church buildings in Baltimore, Louisville, Memphis, N e w Orleans, and other cities during the past year, has been of the greatest permanent value. It is suggested that the H o m e Board consider the advisability of placing in each of these great cities a special representative who shall study the religious conditions, and then advise the H o m e Mission Board as to the widest means and methods for successfully solving the mission problem of each separate city. For Southern Baptists, their nearest duty and most difficult problem is the Christianizing of the irreligious native and foreign born within their own boundaries. H o m e Missions is Christian patriotism, and he who best serves his country, his denomination, and his God, can do so through generous giving to the H o m e Mission Board for work in our cities. R. W . W E A V E R , Chairman,

F. C. McCONNELL, JAMES BUCHANAN, W. J. E. COX, J. S. CAMPBELL, O. L. HAILEY. The report was discussed by R W. Weaver, Maryland, and W. L. Pickard, Virginia, and the report was adopted. 48. E. M. Poteat, South Carolina, read the following report on Work among Negroes. Our commission reads: "Unto the uttermost parts of the earth." From the point of view of Southern Baptists, the uttermost part of the earth is not China, or Thibet, or the heart of Africa; but the negro quarters in your town, your village, your plantation. The negro here is a severer test of our loyalty to Christ than the Chinaman in Canton; and we cannot maintain our Christian consistency while w e glow with generous pity and melt to tears upon the recital of the blessing of God upon our work for negroes in Africa or Brazil, and freeze to hardness on seeing with our own eyes the pitiful destitution of the negroes here at home. The love of all men is a thrilling sentiment, but it often suffers a sudden blight by thefindingof a particular individual on our doorstep. And w e must remember that almost if not quite the severest

indictment Jesus ever launched, he launched against a m a n who despised a certain loathsome bundle of humanity laid at his gate, full of sores. Our Lord said of that m a n that he went to hell. Which is to say that w e must interpret our Christianity in terms of helpfulness toward the m a n next us, or we run the risk of forfeiting the favor of God upon our work in the ends of the earth. W e note with satisfaction the glowing unity of our negro brethren in their national work, and the hearty approval of their recent National Convention of the plan of co-operation between their H o m e Mission Board and ours. And w e indorse the cautious yet steady aggression of our H o m e Board in approaching and compassing the task of helping the black m a n in the South. The statistics of this work, as printed in the report of the Board, are full of encouragement, and give us faith to believe that at last w e Southern Baptists are coming to a clear and definite sense of our obligation here and to a method of meeting this obligation which will more and more command our support and receive the blessing of God. Respectfully submitted, E D W I N M. P O T E A T , Chairman,

W. S. SPLAWN. The report was spoken to by E. M. Poteat, North Carolina; J. F. Kemper, Missouri; A. J. Barton, Arkansas; J. William Jones, Virginia; and J. M. Frost, Tennessee; and then the report was adopted. 49. The following report on Mountain Schools was read by W. M. Vines, Virginia: The Department of "Mountain Schools," as incorporated in the work of our Home Mission Board, is based upon the profoundest theological and scientific principles. There are two methods of proclaiming the gospel to a lost world. The one has been denominated the "heralding," and the other the "planting" method. One plan is to go everywhere witnessing for Christ and announcing the glad tidings of salvation; the other scheme is to announce the truth of the gospel, but to plant schools and train workers and build patiently and hopefully, expecting "the Lord of the harvest" to slowly but surely guide his servants to ultimate triumph. The second method is the sane and Scriptural one. Through the regeneration of the individual and the harmonious development of all his powers, through the church and the school, the preacher and the teacher, the kingdom of Jesus Christ is to ultimately conquer the world. " W e must educate, w e must educate, or we must perish." Evangelization and education are the two great watchwords of our denomination. The mountain section of our Southland, with its pure and energizing atmosphere, its sublime and inspiring scenery, its rugged but often fertile soil, its vast and limitless resources of water power, timber, and minerals, produces the strongest and

17

most powerful and resourceful type of m a n found on the face of the globe. The salvation and education of the mountain people means much to our denominational life in the South and in the world. To ignore this fact is folly and suicide; to foster ,our denominational schools in the mountain sections is the highest wisdom, and second to no task before our H o m e Mission Board. Out of these schools now established under the supervision of our H o m e Mission Board have already gone out some of the greatest m e n in all the various vocations and professions of life, and some of the greatest preachers of the world, and some of the most efficient workers in the kingdom of Christ in all lands. Our colleges and theological seminaries discover that the finest type of students comes from these mountain schools. Our great denomination will continue to be revitalized and strengthened intellectually,financially,and theologically by these schools. N o investment in our denominational progress pays better than the money spent on our mountain schools. In the States of Alabama, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee there are now 22 of these institutions, employing 96 teachers, with 3,919 pupils and 41 ministerial students. During the past year there were 164 conversions in these schools. The emphasis of the past year's work has been mainly in developing and better equipping the schools already established. However, two new schools have been added, three new buildings erected, five new dormitories built, and others added to or improved. The sum of $50,000 has been spent in the improvement and better equipment of these schools during the past year. Too much could hardly be said in praise of the superintendent of this department of our work, Rev. A. E. Brown. His management has been characterized by great wisdom, aggressiveness, consecration, and general efficiency. Your committee would earnestly recommend the better equipment of these schools as to furniture for school buildings and dormitories and better libraries. W e should establish at least four new schools next year—one in Virginia, one in Tennessee, one in North Carolina, and one in Alabama. A s a special feature, your Committee most heartily commends the spiritual and religious work emphasized as exhibited in the teaching of the Bible and the training of preachers. W e also earnestly urge all our schools to co-operate with and to enlist under the H o m e Mission Board of our Convention. The superintendent of this department should be encouraged to continually, and as rapidly as possible, push forward his work, increasing, enlarging, and better equipping these schools. To this end the enthusiastic and hearty moral and financial support of our people is asked and urged. W . M. VINES, Chairman, J. J. K I M S E Y ,

State Convention, reported as follows, and the report w a s adopted without discussion: Florida Memorial. Your Committee appointed to consider the overture from the Florida Baptist Convention requesting this Convention to eliminate thefinancialbasis of representation from our Constitution, beg leave to report that while respecting fully the convictions of the brethren sending said overture, and with all courtesy and regard for their motives in the matter, w e deem it entirely inexpedient to raise this issue again in our Convention. It has been frequently presented in one form or another in past years, and has always resulted in no action at all or in action unfavorable to eliminating ourfinancialbasis of representation. At Kansas City one year ago the Convention declined to take the matter up when urged to do so by the General Association of Baptists of the United States of America, which held a meeting some time before. Believing, therefore, that this Convention regards its present basis of representation as Scriptural in principle, and abundantly justified by experience, w e recommend that no action be taken looking to a reopening of the question.

On a motion to reconsider the action of the Convention fixing 3 P.M. Sunday as a special order for the consideration of the report on Evangelism, the house divided: Ayes, 188; noes, 252. Whereupon, a number of motions being made, which were decided to be not in order, it was finally determined, by general consent, that this report should be made the subject of discussion at 3 :30 P.M. Sunday, without passing upon the business details involved, which, on motion of J. J. Taylor, Kentucky, were made the order for 4 P.M. Monday. It was further ordered that a memorial service for the distinguished dead should be held at 2 :30 P.M. Sunday. 54. The report of the Committee to which were referred the resolutions of B. W.

Frontier Missions and Church Building. By frontier missions we mean missions west of the Mississippi River. It embraces the four States and two Territories of Missouri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas, Oklahoma, and the Indian Territory—that is, a territory of 499,320 square miles, with a population of 10,500,000. This country properly belongs to the Southern Baptist Convention. The obligation for its evangelization rests primarily upon Southern Baptists. If any part of it is lost to this Convention we shall be deprived of our rightful possession. O n the frontier field last year the H o m e Board expended $38,033.38 upon the co-operative plan. The visible results are 10,206 baptisms and 257 churches constituted. Perhaps this represents a larger number of baptisms in proportion to the money expended than is shown by any other work among us or any other people. One person was baptized for every four dollars expended upon the co-operative plan, and one church was constituted for every $155 expended upon the same basis. This Convention should be encouraged by the marvelous results which have been achieved on the frontier, and should be aroused to more heroic endeavor by the urgent needs and limitless possibilities of the vast West as a mission field. W e call attention to the needs. Whole counties are without preaching of any kind. One hundred important railroad towns in Missouri are without Baptist preaching. Some of the county seats of Arkansas, and many new communities, have no Baptist preaching. Louisiana presents the sad spectacle of only sixteen self-supporting churches with all-time preaching, and sixteen parishes in which there is not a Baptist church or preacher. Some settlements in Oklahoma and Indian Territory have never been visited by a minister. In Texas, sections of destitution larger than States cry for the bread of life. Offerings to the H o m e Board must be increased greatly in order that men may be sent to supply this destitution. Newly organized churches are without meetinghouses, and older churches are worshiping in buildings wholly inadequate to their needs. W e are safe in saying that there are 1,700 homeless churches on the frontier. Our churches should be trained to contribute systematically and proportionately towards a church building fund. It is difficult to raise money for this object, but it can be done. W h e n the older and stronger churches rightly understand their obligation to the younger and weaker churches, then shall we have an ample church building fund. In some instances money should be loaned, and in other cases it should be donated, to struggling churches. There are situations that may be saved by a reasonable loan or donation from the church building fund. The opportunity for the Baptists on the frontier is unparalleled. There the population is increasing rapidly, and w e are in favor with the people. It is a period of remarkable industrial and commercial development. At least six trunk railroads are being laid through this section today. N o w is the time to occupy this field. Ten years from now will be too late. The Board is alive to the situation. It is anxious to meet the people as they come, and

determine their habits and religious affiliations. It is anxious spiritualize with the gospel that whole region so endangered by material prosperity. Will the churches provide sufficient means? Let the answer be, "No," and the house of Southern Baptists will be left desolate. The voice of neglected opportunity will cry, "Oh, that thou hadst known the day of thy visitation!" Let the answer be, "Yes," and the mind is lost in the calculation and wrapt in the contemplation of what this section will become in the kingdom of our Lord. G E O . W . M c D A N I E L , Chairman,

report was spoken to by G. W. McDaniel, Virgini B. D. Gray, Secretary of the Home Mission Board was adopted. Paul V. Bomar, Alabama, presented the report of Committee on

The Outlook of the Home Board. The outlook of the Home Mission Board is an outlook upon work that needs to be done, and to be done immediately; for if it is not done now, it can never be done. No matter in what direction the view, whether Panama, Cuba, Isle of Pines, the negro population, the foreign population, our cities, our farms and villages, our mountains, what is seen is a mighty work. Thefieldof labor, instead of getting smaller, is growing larger. As our land grows in numbers, in wealth, in intelligence, the pressure of the work becomes the greater. More work needs to be done in our cities than ever before; more work among the mountain population; more work in the country and villages. Again, it is an outlook upon work that must be done. It must be done, or God will hold us responsible for failure in duty. It must be done, or we are lost. N o m a n can neglect his brother, and yet himself be saved. Again, it is an outlook upon work that can be done. God has not commanded aught we cannot do. H e has given us both the men and the means. Never before have Southern Baptists had such glorious opportunities. Never before has the future been so full of promise and so full of peril. Again, it is an outlook upon work that is being done. W e have not performed our full duty; but, on the other hand, w e have not been altogether unmindful of our opportunities and responsibilities. Over 4,000 churches have been established by the H o m e Board during its history, and more than 3,000 meetinghouses have been built, while the labors of our missionaries have resulted in about 200,000 additions to our churches. The work this year is full of encouragement. The number of workers has been greatly increased. Last year w e had 718 missionaries, while this year w e have 880. Last year there were

23

10,551 baptisms; this year, 15,436, while the contributions, in spite of many adverse conditions, increased more than $30,000, enabling the Board to report no debt. But note, no debt is reported because $20,000 of the Board's appropriations were conditioned, and not binding in case the funds were not received. Again, the outlook is an outlook upon a future bright with the promise of God if only w e do not fail in our duty. God grant w e may not fail! But that w e m a y not fail there is need that pastor and people see with clearer vision the vastness of the need at our doors. H o m e Missions has not received the emphasis it deserves, nor the emphasis it must and will receive in the future. There is need, of greatly increased contributions. W h y should w e not give to H o m e Missions next year as much as w e gave to Foreign Missions this year? The Board asked for $250,000 this year, and must have at least that amount for the work of next year. And there is need of an ever-increasing sense of personal responsibility and of earnest prayer that God will both provide the m e n and the means and bless abundantly the work of the laborers.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION.

FOURTH DAY,.MORNING SESSION. CHATTANOOGA, TENNESSEE, May 14, 1906.

67. The Convention met at 9 o'clock and was led in prayer by A. F. Baker, Kentucky. 68. The journal was read and confirmed. 69. The report of the Statistical Secretary was presented and ordered to be printed in the minutes. It is Appendix D. 70. Preston Blake, Kentucky, read the following report on Papal Fields. The wisdom of sending missionaries to nominally Christian lands is questioned by some, and even among some Baptists an appeal for Italy or Brazil does not kindle the same enthusiasm as does an appeal for China or Japan. This fact arises from the groundless supposition that they have sufficient truth, though distorted and obscured, to lead them to the cross of Jesus Christ for salvation. But a more intimate knowledge of these lands has forced upon us the profound conviction that the papal lands are as much in need of the pure gospel of Jesus Christ as are the pagan lands. In fact, their system of religion is paganism clothed in Christian nomenclature. One of our missionaries in Italy, summing up the conditions as he sees them, asks the question, Shall we acknowledge an institution to be a true church of Christ which persecutes his true followers, withholds the word of God from millions, enslaves the mind, binds the conscience, robs the living and the dead, sells salvation, worships images and saints, fosters ignorance, teaches a corrupt system of morals, and is more a political than a religious institution? and answers the question with a "God forbid." Whatever of Christian truth they may possess is so obscured by error that its beams of light never fall upon the great multitudes of her people. In all their splendid churches, with their multitudes of priests, no preacher's voice calls the people to righteousness or points them to the L a m b of God that takes away the sin of the world. The only points of true light that bring to men the light of life in papal as well as pagan lands are the mission stations that dot the country here and there. In the splendid report made on this subject last year by Dr. Poteat, he says: " W e believe that, as Baptists, we have a special call and mission to papal lands because w e carry none of the toggery of R o m e among our clothes. W e have never yet put a church or any of its ministrations between the individual soul and God, and we do not carry in our blood the taint of the virus of salvation by works. W e believe God cleanses hearts by faith,

and that the faith of the believer, and not the faith of some one else. If w e are right in our view that people are admitted into the family of God by faith, and faith alone, then w e must do what in us lies to stop the long, long procession of the blind who follow the blind." The reports from these fieldsfillus with profound gratitude to God for what has already been accomplished and are bright with hope for the future. Churches. Out-stations. Members. Baptisms.

But these are not all the results, for the result of preaching the gospel, whether at home or abroad, can never be fully known until the secrets of all hearts are revealed. W e note with pleasure the increased activities among some of these churches, especially in Brazil, in their effort towards self-support, in their evangelistic power, in their missionary zeal. The results already accomplished give us renewed evidence that our gospel is a conquering gospel, and foreshadow the fulfillment of the promise that "the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our Lord and his Christ."

J. M. SHELBURNE, H. A. STJMRALL, W. L PICKARD, J. H. BQLDRIDGE. 7.1. E. D. Hale, l^orth Carolina, presented the report of the Committee on Pagan Fields. In contradistinction to papal fields—where the three hundred million Catholics preach a perverted gospel—pagan fields are where the ten hundred million people have never heard of the Christ, and to w h o m the one hundred and seventy-five million evangelical Christians must send the pure gospel. Many of these are men of intellect and wealth, and, when converted, become a mighty factor in sending the message on to the poor and ignorant, to all of w h o m Jesus wishes the gospel preached. The Baptist is only one of many denominations of evangelical Christians engaged in this work, and God is blessing them all in the conversion of many thousand annually. Our organized brother Baptists of the North, and in Europe, are active and liberal in the prosecution of their part of this

world-wide enterprise committed to his disciples by our absent Master; and so Southern Baptists, in the seventeen States and Territories comprising our Convention, are forging to the front in the great procession of Christ's friends, bearing the good news of salvation to a lost world. The fields w e have chosen in which to work are China, Japan, and Africa. In these three fields we have 121 foreign missionaries and 159 native ordained and unordained helpers. The 6,209 men and w o m e n now living who have been won to Christ are organized into fifty-nine churches. During the past year 1,264 of these were received for baptism. In following the spirit of Christ's command, our method of work, as co-operating churches, is by means of a "Foreign Mission Board" (or committee appointed by the Convention), through w h o m we transact thefinancialpart of this stupendous business enterprise. Because of the co-operation of the churches and the blessing of God on our efforts in foreignfields,the work has grown to that point where our home methods are, as rapidly as practicable, now being introduced among the foreign churches. "Cooperation" is the word over there as here. District associations are being formed. The churches, through their delegates, meet annually for conference and fellowship. Day schools and Sunday schools, for the mental culture and religious education of our children, are vigorously pressed. Theological seminaries for young preachers, training schools for workers; publication societies for printing and distributing books, periodicals, and other necessary literature; hospitals, medical missionaries, etc., are the order of the day. Because of momentous changes and epochal events now taking place among Eastern nations, brought about by Western missionaries and Western civilization, conditions are such, among the rapidly awakening heathen, that many multiplied times more work can now annually be done than was possible a few decades ago. Great opportunities and great possibilities lie out before us in the immediate future. Other evangelical denominations are going grandly forward in the glorious work, and God will bless us, too, if we are wise and united and liberal and aggressive and prayerful. There is wonderful missionary zeal abroad in this country, indicated not only by the activity of individual denominations, but by the interdenominational Students' Volunteer and Young People's Missionary Movements. Baptists, however, must wake up and keep step, or they will fall behind in the procession. In Japan, during the year just closed, with seven churches and 224 members, there were forty-five baptized. 'In Africa, with fourteen churches and 936 members, there were 216 baptized. And in China, with thirty-eight churches and 5.049 members, there were 1,003 baptized. That is an average of one convert for every four members. If the churches of our Convention had done as well at home, we would have secured 475,000 converts. It took four times as many of us to win a soul to Christ in this favored land as it did of Baptist Christians at work in heathen lands. The cost to our Convention, of both men and money, in soul-winning in the home land, is above four times as much as

it is on the foreign field. It pays richly to invest in Foreign Missions in pagan fields. In the prosecution of our Foreign Mission work the pastor is the key to the situation. A missionary church is the product of a missionary pastor, as a harvest is the product of seed. W e recommend: 1. That the pastor supply himself with a missionary library (in addition to the Bible), and keep informed on the subject of world-wide missions. 2. That the pastor open his pocketbook and set his people an example in giving to missions. 3. That the pastor pray and preach and work as if the command of our Lord meant something to him. F R E D D. H A L E , Chairman,

J. H. SNOW. 72. J. T. M. Johnston, Missouri, read the following report on Finances of the Foreign Board. With gratitude we acknowledge the leading of God during the past year into larger giving to Foreign Missions than ever known in our sixty-one years of history. W e have increased our offerings to Foreign Missions this year more than forty thousand dollars, reaching the sum of $320,000. With the increase of gifts we have the consequent results, the largest number of conversions ever reported. Ten years ago the gifts of Southern Baptists to save those who have never heard of Jesus were $120,000. W e have almost trebled this amount this year, yet our increase is not proportionate to our material blessings. The Southland in the last decade has made mighty leaps toward industrial andfinancialsupremacy. In these times of unprecedented world-wide prosperity, America has led all nations, and in the United States the Southland has taken the lead. Shall not Southern Baptists exercise the high grace of appreciation to Him "who giveth power to get wealth" by being faithful stewards? The Committee recommends an increase in our offerings to Foreign Missions of twenty-five per cent besides the debt. W e should increase it one hundred per cent, for if Southern Baptists should average one cent each a week to Foreign Missions, we would have $900,000. The Committee also recommends that the churches, so far as possible, take their collections in the beginning or middle of the fiscal year, instead of waiting until the last month. This would save interest. While our Board, because of its high standing with bankers, has been able to secure money at the low rate of five per cent, yet the interest amounts to considerable, as many of the larger churches have gotten into the habit of taking their offering at the very close of the year. A debt of $20,000 is caused by the increase of an outlay of over $60,000, and should be promptly met. W e commend the wisdom of the Board and Secretary in their enlarging vision of the work in hand, and especially for their

undertaking to provide better facilities for our workers on foreign fields. A growing necessity for theological training schools, chapels, hospitals, and homes for our missionaries is apparent. One brother has just given $10,000 toward a Theological Training School in North China, and a sister has given $5,000 toward building a hospital and homes for our missionaries. W e commend these special appeals as needs of the hour. W e prayerfully commend to Southern Baptists the basal element to larger giving, the Christian stewardship. The teachings of Jesus encourage the accumulation of wealth when the spirit and method of its getting are in harmony with the divine principle of Christian stewardship. In fact, the ability to accumulate has grown with the spread of the Christian religion. In nations where we find the greatest advance in the Christian religion w e find the largest accumulation of wealth. The law of industry, honesty, and thrift is a cardinal plank in Christ's platform. Scripture teaches that the diligent hand, coupled with frugality, shall be rewarded. God does not condemn the accumulation of wealth if honestly acquired. Abraham, Joseph, David, John the beloved disciple, Nicodemus, Joseph of Arimathea, were men of means. In the parable of the talents, Jesus commends the m a n who, entrusted withfivetalents, by business acumen made it ten, but it was also Jesus who said, "To whomsoever much is given, of him shall much be required." Much has been given to Southern Baptists, and of them much is required. America is now the richest, the most potential, the most highly blessed of all the nations of earth. Four-fifths of the Baptists of the world live in America, and three-fourths of these live within the borders of our Southern Baptist Convention. Shall Southern Baptists be true to their trust and make their possessions factors in the purposes of God—in redeeming a lost world? J O H N T. M. J O H N S O N , Chairman. 73. The above reports were spoken to by F. D. Hale, North Carolina; Preston Blake, Kentucky; J. T. M. Johnston, Missouri; W. L. Pickard, Virginia; and R. J.

Items of Special Interest in the Report of the Foreign Mission Board. Your Committee notes with grateful joy the large increase in the number of baptisms on the foreignfields,the number reported for the past year being 2,445; and w e note also with joy the caution of our missionaries abroad in not swelling the number of baptisms by the reception of doubtful candidates. It is a cause for profoundest gratitude that the seed sown has been watered, and much of it brought to fruitage. While the evident blessings ot God upon the work do not constitute the supreme argument for missions, it is nevertheless a great encouragement to the workers, both at home and abroad. It is also a matter for profoundest thanksgiving that a large number of our churches have gone forward, in a most godly fashion, in their gifts, some going up many hundreds per cent. This indicates that missions as a doctrine is taking hold upon our churches with increasing power. Your Committee has also heard with much satisfaction that there has been a noteworthy advance in personal gifts, ranging from $500.00 to $10,000.00. Certainly, many of our people who are rapidly increasing in worldly goods should honor the Master and bless the world by increasingly large offerings for missions. Thefieldsnow open are marvelous for opportunities, along all lines of missionary endeavor. The calls are coming to us for help from the whole round world. The God of Providence, who is also the God of Missions, has so ordered the affairs of nations, and so tempered the minds of the many peoples of the earth, as to make the present a time of unparalleled opportunity. There is the most urgent need in all thefieldsfor church buildings, hospitals, and schools. The Empire of China, with its 400,000,000 people, is now in the early morning hours of a new day. And Japan, destined to be to the far East, in its advancing civilization, what England has been to Continental Europe and the world, is now waiting, from her great centers of population, far back into her remote country neighborhoods, for the rising of the Sun of Righteousness. If the Christian people of the world shall do their duty, Japan will, in the highest sense, become the Sunrise Kingdom of the far East. And Manchuria, lately the scene of the most meaningful battle in modern times, is ready to become a battlefield of spiritual forces, and should now be entered with a strong force of missionaries of the highest type. As w e look on the wide-open, waitingfieldsof the world, it is thrilling to see how God is timing his movements. At this very hour, there are scores of men and women here in our Southland, ready and pleading to go afield, as messengers of the King. Many scores of other consecrated men and women are now in training in the schools for work on all the fields. In the face of all these opportunities, with missionaries waiting to go and with wide-open doors to everyfieldunder heaven, what should be the attitude of Southern Baptists? That w e are abundantly able to support the advance movement that the situation manifestly calls for, cannot be questioned at all. The enormous increase in the wealth of the South should enable us to double our missionary forces, both at home and abroad, with less real

32

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST CONVENTION.

sacrifice than was required of us to support the forces on the fields evenfiveyears ago. The supreme problem before us, as a people, is the consecration of our increasing wealth to the service of God and humanity. It is also noted with hopefulness that last year every State within the bounds of the Convention went forward, in gifts, except two. It will appear from the report that Texas fell behind her previous year's record, but in fact the State advanced several thousand dollars. The miscarriage in the mails of a check for $8,750.00 is the explanation for the seeming decrease in gifts from this State. This check will reduce the debt which the Board reports by that much. The disagreeable fact of a real debt of some $20,000 should, in the opinion of your Committee, in no way slow up the work. It should the rather mean that the churches everywhere should increase their offerings for the new year, to meet this debt and to maintain a forward movement of the Board. It seems that the situation ought to appeal powerfully to men and w o m e n of large incomes. Every great movement for missions, or education, or other benevolence, should have back of it an "old guard" which will see to it that temporary disadvantages are always turned into victories. Certainly this is not an hour when our Baptist people of the South can halt, or even hesitate, to meet an opportunity for world-wide evangelization, unequaled since Pentecost. GEO. W .

FOURTH DAY, AFTERNOON SESSION. 78. The Convention met at 2 o'clock, and prayer was offered by J. William Jones, Virginia. 79. The Committee appointed to consider the memorial of the Georgia Baptist State Convention reported through its Chairman, ~N. W. P. Bacon, Mississippi, as follows, and it was adopted: Hillyer Resolutions. The resodutions sent up by the Georgia Convention give in emphatic and succinct terms the views of that body on this important subject, but are so framed as not to be adapted for direct action by this Convention, and complying with the suggestion of the Georgia Convention, your Committee deem it appropriate that resolutions be specially framed and submitted for action by this body as follows: God speed the day that, when by suggestions like those we here submit, or by better ones, if any can make them, men and women and girl children, and all the innocent and the good, may be safe as they come and go, and in their homes, whether such homes be in castle or cabin! The law is very weak and imperfect. " W e speak this to our shame." But lynching is not the remedy. Lynching blunts the public conscience, undermines the foundations on which society stands, and if unchecked will bring on anarchy. W e should not stop with merely writing and teaching and praying against the lynchers, leaving the helpless and innocent victims of crime with no adequate or sufficient protection. Our condemnation is due with equal emphasis, and in many cases with much greater emphasis, against the horrible crimes which cause the lynchings.

President Roosevelt, in a public address delivered at Little Rock, Ark., in October of last year, as reported at the time in the public press, amongst other things said: " W e urgently need in this country methods for expediting punishment—methods for doing away with delay, methods which will secure to the public an even chance with the criminal. At the present the right of appeals is in criminal cases so abused as to make it a matter of the utmost difficulty ultimately to punish a m a n sufficiently rich or sufficiently influential to command really good legal talent. "If the law is reasonably speedy and reasonably sure, it takes away one great excuse for lawlessness. If some horrible crime is committed, and the people feel that under the best circ*mstances there will be an indefinite delay in the punishment of the criminal, and that the punishment will be uncertain, even when the time for administration of it comes, then a premium is put on that kind of law breaking which more than other is a menace to the law. "I earnestly hope that some substantial improvement shall be made in the direction of securing greater expedition and greater certainty in the administration of justice, especially in the administration of criminal justice." Let it be observed that the complaint here is not in regard to what the law declares to be crime or in the punishment which the law denounces against crimes, but the difficulty lies in the remedies given in legal administration for the enforcement of the law; the trouble being, not as to what the law is, but as to carrying it into effect. The daily papers are teeming with accounts of horrible tragedies and crimes, and they seem to be growing worse and more numerous. The law as now contrived, in the hands of offenders of all classes, offenders and defenders, who know how to use or misuse the law, is but a poor protection and dependence for the innocent and the good. The evils above named and the remedies needed are confined to no part of the United States, but crimes and lynchings have become so general and so frequent in nearly all parts of our common country as to form an appalling aggregate—enough to make any Christian shudder or sadden the heart of a patriot. But what shall we do about it? The answer is: Make the law better and make it stronger. Amend the law. Give it more promptness and more wisdom and more justice and more certainty in its own enforcement. Astonish the murderer and rapist by its quickness and its certainty. If the law will protect the innocent and the good in all the States, the innocent and the good in all the States will respect the law. Enlarge the powers of the courts. Take away the unreasonable provisions by which so many advantages are given to the criminal in the trials. Give the State the right of appeal or to have a writ of error just like the criminal has, and in every criminal trial put the State and the accused upon terms of perfect equality, so that innocent and good people may rely on the law for protection rather than rush into irregular and dangerous force under methods of their own.

Your Committee are well aware that this Convention has no ecclesiastical jurisdiction, but it is recommended that all our membership guided by Bible precept, and with prayers for the blessing of Almighty God, agitate for and insist on amendments in the criminal laws and judicial procedure until all men know that the courts will surely visit just and speedy punishment upon the guilty in every case. It is hoped that the discussion of this important subject may be taken up and continued by the different State conventions and district associations until combined public sentiment shall demand and obtain the needed and appropriate remedies and amendments of the kind indicated.

port on Woman's Work. Your Committee is pleased to report that the year just closed has been one of large blessing and gratifying growth in the work of the W o m a n ' s Missionary Union. The record of its eighteen years' existence is a record of faithful service and loving sacrifice, linked with wise planning and resulting in uninterrupted growth. At the close of thefirstyear of organized effort—namely, in 1889 — o u r good w o m e n were able to report contributions to the amount of $30,773.69. So steadily has the work grown that this year the report records gifts as follows: Foreign Missions $62,719 70 H o m e Missions 37,391 50 Sunday School Board 304 16 Margaret H o m e 3,186 54 Making a total cash contribution of... .$103,611 90 This is an actual gain over the previous year of $15,131.67. Leaving out the special contribution of $10,000 for the Margaret H o m e m a d e the previous year, the gain in the regular contributions is $25,131.67. Besides this munificent cash contribution, there were sent to missionaries laboring under appointment of the H o m e Board and Sunday School Board, boxes valued at $49,171.49. During the eighteen years of co-operative organized effort, the contributions have reached the splendid aggregate of $1,286,370.49. But these contributions, large as they are, and demonstrative as they are of loving service and joyful sacrifice for our Lord and his cause, do not and cannot represent the value of our W o m a n ' s Mission Societies in the churches. The systematic study of the great field, both at h o m e and abroad, by these societies; the regular and special seasons of devotion and prayer for missions, resulting in the quickening of the spiritual life not only of the members of the society, but of the entire church; the intelligent and sympathetic help rendered the pastor in his efforts for the development of the church; the distribution of tracts and other literature and the general dissemination of missionary information—these are some of the contributions m a d e by each woman's society and by this general organization of our sisters. Your Committee notes with keenest regret that Miss Annie W . Armstrong feels it her duty to resign the position of Corresponding Secretary, which she has occupied continuously from( the organization of the Union to the present. Both she and her work are too well k n o w n throughout our Zion and she is too m u c h respected and too warmly loved to need any elaborate word of

commendation from us. But w e beg the privilege of recording at least in a brief word our appreciation of her worth and work and our thankfulness to the Father that he ever gave to us such a worker and leader. Possessed of a power to grasp and master details that amounts to genius; given a vision of the possibilities of organization and development among our people that few have ever had; having a love for souls amounting to a passion; loving God fervently and willing to make her life an unbroken day of sacrificial service to him, she has been to us and our work what few others could have been. Eighteen years of unremitting and unselfish toil, unremunerated so far as money goes, tell the story of her unique position and service amongst us. W e are profoundly regretful of her decision to retire from the position she hasfilledso long and with such distinction; w e shall invoke the divine blessing upon her as w e shall cherish the memory of her heroic service and carry forward the work which she more than any other bequeaths to us. To succeed Miss Armstrong as Corresponding Secretary, Mrs. Jno. O. Rust, of Nashville, Tenn., was elected. But w e are advised that she declines the position. N o doubt a Secretary will soon be elected and appropriate announcement made in the denominational press. As previously announced in the denominational press, and as recorded also in the report, the Literature Department of the Southern Baptist Convention, formerly the Maryland Baptist Rooms, was lately discontinued, and the assets returned to the Maryland Baptist Union Association. The work of this department is too well known to need more than mention, and its fruitfulness too apparent to need emphasis. Your Committee is of the opinion that if the Maryland brethren, always forward in their devotion to the causes and interests of this Convention, should seefitto commit the assets returned to them to the Woman's Missionary Union, in trust, for the continuation of this work, ic would inure to the advancement of all our interests, and thus increase our debt to them.

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST CONVENTION. 92. T h e special order for the hour being the considera-

tion of the report of the Committee on Evangelism, the Convention was addressed by B. IT. Carroll, Texas, and the report was adopted. Evangelism. The spirit of evangelism is abroad in the land. From every part of the country there come the tokens of increased revival fervor among the churches of all denominations of Christians. The m a n who has failed to see this has failed to keep abreast with the religious movements in our country. In many of our great cities there has been very distinct and extraordinary evangelistic enthusiasm. More people have been reached by the gospel in our great cities through evangelistic agencies within the last year than ever before. This seems specially to be true of the centers of population, where it has hitherto been so hard to reach the masses. Generally speaking, the notable revivals of this year have been of a co-operative character, either different denominations coming together or groups of churches of the same denomination. The large central meeting, or a number of simultaneous meetings in the same general movement, has usually been the order of the evangelistic work of the past year so far as the cities are concerned. Great halls, theaters, skating rinks, and other large central meeting places have been utilized by evangelists, and thousands of nonchurch-goers have been reached in this way. This seems to have been the general order for much of the evangelism in the great cities for the last few years. Upon much of this God seems to have put his seal of approval. The country sections and small towns have likewise shared in the evangelistic sweep of the country. While it has been impossible for them to inaugurate and carry forward large evangelistic campaigns, they have in one way or another come in touch with the great city movements, caught thefire,and in their own way set on foot movements that have blessed their own communities. Indeed, we have failed to estimate the proper value of these large, central, evangelistic meetings. The souls directly saved do not begin to measure the scope of the work. Through the press and by individual contact and participation in the enthusiasm, other communities are stimulated and great blessing follows. In this connection it seems proper to make special mention of the recent great pentecostal revival within our own bounds in the city of Paducah, Ky. More than a thousand people united with the First Baptist Church alone, as the result of a revival which lasted from November to March. It was a great meeting. Our beloved Brother Cheek, the pastor of the church, already weakened in health from the very outset, broke himself down in this great meeting, and God sawfitto take him home to rest. Viewed from one standpoint it was a sad culmination of such

PROCEEDINGS.

a useful life, but viewed from the proper standpoint it was a glorious ending of a devoted, consecrated ministry. Baptists are pre-eminently the people to lead in this evangelistic m o v e m e n t which is only at present seen in part. Our church polity is such as to give us every advantage. The spirit and temperament of our people is another advantage. In talking with a distinguished English minister after an extended tour in this country, he said to a m e m b e r of this Committee, "I a m n o w going back to England, and I want to say to you that the Baptists of America have the opportunity of their history." This was said by a m a n w h o is not a Baptist, but w h o has observed from every standpoint the situation among the churches of this country. Southern Baptists more than any others have this opportunity. They are generally evangelistic. They believe in old-time religion. They take no stock in any other sort. The problems that occupy the minds of the brethren of other sections have not begun to agitate us much. If there comes along a m a n with a blue pencil and scissors attempting to destroy our Bible, or any part of it, whether m u c h or little, he is at once m a a e to feel that there are "no vacancies," and that he might as well m o v e on to other quarters. Southern Baptists believe the Bible from Genesis to Revelation; they believe in its doctrines; they believe a sinner out of Christ is lost to an endless hell. Hence, they are evangelistic. They have never gotten far enough away from the religion of the fathers to fail to appreciate exhortation as well as exegesis. But with all our opportunities as Southern Baptists there is a serious weakness. W e have the evangelistic soil; w e have the evangelistic spirit; but w e need a better evangelistic organization. To be sure, this work is, and ought to be, under the direction of the churches, just as every other agency of the denomination is. It is our profound conviction that the supreme centers of evangelism are the churches. But it is strange that Baptists, especially Southern Baptists, should so largely allow, by their o w n failure to provide otherwise, other denominations to conduct in their territory the great revivals of the past few years. Of course w e all thank God for what has been done, and w e stand ready to co-operate with every movement that looks in the direction of soul winning, but w h y is it that Baptists w h o have the best natural advantages in matters of evangelism in this country have not been more honored of God in the great revival campaigns of our section? It seems that there is but one answer to this question, and that is: The lack of proper organization for the distinct work of evangelism. Our Northern brethren have realized this, and hence they are n o w organized. They have a general evangelist in the field with a number of State evangelists co-operating with him. They are conducting evangelistic campaigns in the cities and factory sections, and even in the country. They are also conducting evangelistic institutes for ministers, laymen, and sing-

4:2

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST CONVENTION.

ers, and schools for training in this line of work. They also provide evangelistic literature, tracts, and books of various kinds. All this is being done by the evangelistic department of our denomination North. W e thank God that they have taken hold of this problem, and pray for them the richest blessing of heaven. But why should Southern Baptists not be better organized? W e need it worse than the North. W e have a larger number of people scattered over a larger territory, and they are of such a temperament as that organization would be more helpful. It is true that our H o m e Mission Board has been doing a great deal of evangelistic work through its missionaries. They have done more during the last few years than ever before. The missionaries are generally selected with the view of soul winning. It is true also that our State Mission Boards are doing a great deal in this line. Many of them have splendid evangelists giving all of their time to this work. W e have had communication with fourteen State secretaries co-operating with the Southern Baptist Convention, and w e have found that twelve of these State boards employ general or special evangelists w h o m they direct. The States that have tried the plan of employing special evangelists are enthusiastic over the results obtained. But this kind of organization is not fully meeting the needs. What w e need is organization that will more vigorously push evangelism throughout all this Southern country. W e need a general evangelist, with just as many associates as he can get for a part or all of their time—men who can push the evangelistic work in all the vast neglected territory of our Southland, from our great cities and rapidly growing cotton factory towns to the country sections. W e need evangelistic organization providing conventions and training schools for evangelists, pastors, laymen, and singers, keyed to the idea of evangelism. W e need to train our people so that they can take their proper place in the world's evangelism, as well as take the world for Christ. As it now is, much of our great talent is going to waste, or is being trained and utilized by other people. What shall be done? There are those who think we ought not to have any new agency through which this important work is to be done; others think that a new agency is demanded, and still others think that it is a work that should be committed to the H o m e Mission Board. It seems, therefore, that some distinct step forward in this direction ought to be taken by this Convention; that a more aggressive evangelism is demanded. Hence, we recommend: First, That the Convention instruct its H o m e Mission Board to create the Department of Evangelism, and that a general evangelist, with as many associates as practicable, be employed. Second, That the H o m e Board be requested to adopt such measures and methods as may be found necessary to give.effectiveness to this department of the work. Third, That in view of this advanced work our people be requested to increase their contributions by at least $25,000 for its support, and that the H o m e Board be instructed to take the

necessary steps to raise this amount in addition to the amount needed for other work. LEN. G. B R O U G H T O N , Chairman,

W. W. HAMILTON, A. J. S. THOMAS, GEO. W. TRUETT, W. M. VINES. 93. The special order being the consideration of the report of the Committee to which was referred the paper presented by B. W. Spillman, North Carolina, the matte was finally determined by the adoption of the followin resolution: Resolved, That at this meeting of the Convention a Committee of five shall be appointed, to be known as the Committee on Place of Meeting. This Committee shall receive all applications from places desiring the meeting of the Convention two years from the date of its appointment, and shall submit a printed report on the same at the meeting succeeding its appointment. The report shall contain a tabulated statement concerning the seating capacity of meeting places, provisions for the entertainment of delegates and visitors, and such other information as it may deem necessary. Expenses of postage and printing shall be paid by the three Boards of the Convention. 94. The following, offered by H. A. Bagby, South Carolina, was agreed to:

In order that there may be no possible misunderstanding of th report of the Committee to which was referred the Florida memorial, Resolved, That w e understand that report in mentioning other overtures on the same subject as only giving items of history; that w e know that our Florida brethren are perfectly loyal to all the work of this Convention, and that there has never been any intention to reflect upon the Florida Convention or on any other body or man. 95. On motion of G. W. Truett, Texas, it was Resolved, In accordance with the order passed last year and carried out this year, in the special address to the Convention by President Stephens, that it is the earnest wish of this Convention that our beloved brother, J. B. Hawthorne, of Virginia, deliver an address at the next session of this Convention, upon such subject as he may deem best.

96. On motion of M. P. Hunt, Kentucky, it was

44

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST CONVENTION.

Resolved, 1. That the thanks of this. Convention are hereby extended the Baptists, of Chattanooga, and her citizens in general, for the ample provisions made for the entertainment and comfort of the delegates. 2. That we here record our appreciation of the City Auditorium as a suitable and well-arranged place for holding great conventions. 3. That w e appreciate the unwearied efforts of the local committee, of which Dr. Howard L. Jones was chairman, for our comfort and happiness. 4. That our thanks are by this extended to the railroads for the special rates made and for the efforts upon the part of the officials to meet all the exigencies of a situation created by the coming together of so large a body from all quarters of our Southland. 5. That we hereby recognize and thank the secular press for the large amount of space given to the reports of our work and to the personnel of our body. 97. At the close of the afternoon session, in accordance with the wish of the brethren, the body was briefly addressed by J. B. Hawthorne, Yirginia. On the part of the Convention, their estimate and regard for this brother found expression in an address by H. W. Battle, North Carolina; and after prayer by J. B. Hawthorne, the Convention adjourned.

FOURTH DAY EVENING SESSION. 98. The Convention reassembled at 8 o'clock. 11. 1\. S c h r a m m led in prayer. 99. I. P. Trotter, Mississippi, read the report, which was adopted, of the Committee on Reports of Vice Presidents. The State Vice Presidents are intended as a medium through w h o m the varied boards may keep in touch with their work, and as one of the principal means of doing their work throughout our territory. In a few States Vice Presidents are not much needed, the work being done entirely by State organizations. In some other States the success of the boards depends largely upon the efficiency and activity of the Vice Presidents. In some

PROCEEDINGS.

45

of the States Vice Presidents of district associations have been secured, thus putting the Convention Board in touch with associations and individual churches throughout our bounds. This is the ideal toward which the boards are working. From the few reports received it seems that good work has been done by most of the State Vice Presidents. Some of them were active in looking after the interests of the boards by making public addresses, by holding special meetings with this in view, by writing articles on the subject for their State papers and getting others to write, and in varied other ways stimulating an interest in the work they represented. W e fear that some of them do not appreciate the great importance of the positions they hold and consequently are doing very little in discharging their duties. W e believe that wide-awake work on the part of our State Vice Presidents will very much help the work of our boards. Respectfully submitted, I. P. T R O T T E R , Chairman,

E. G. TOWNSEND, R. G. KENDRICK, JR., L. E. BARTON. 100. The President appointed the following Committees: On the World's Alliance.—J. N. Prestridge, Kentucky; D. Ramsey, South Carolina; W. W. Landrum, Georgia; J. M. Frost, Tennessee; W . J. Williamson, Missouri; R. H. Pitt, Virginia; and the President, whose appointment was required by the resolution. On the Place of Meeting in 1908.—B. W . Spillman, North Carolina; M. P. Hunt, Kentucky; J. F. Kemper, Missouri; W . B. Crumpton, Alabama; J. E. White, Georgia. On Education.—P. T. Hale, Tennessee; F. W . Boatwright, Virginia; S. P. Brooks, Texas; E. Y. Mullins, Kentucky; W . L. Poteat, North Carolina. 101. An interesting incident was presented in the singing of a hymn composed and led by Baron Uixhuill. 102. The special order being the consideration of the general work of Eoreign Missions, the Convention was addressed by A. U. Boone, Tennessee; E. Z. Simmons, of the Chinese Mission; H. A. Griesemer, Maryland; W. E. Foster, Kentucky; and B. H. Dement, Texas. 103. The several reports upon the Eoreign Mission Work were adopted.

104. And then, after brief closing remarks by the President, the singing of the hymn, "The Sweet B y e and Bye," and the extension of the parting hand, the Convention adjourned to meet in the city of Richmond, Yirginia, on Thursday, M a y 9, 1907, unless change, under certain conditions provided, shall be duly announced by the President of the Convention.

SIXTY-FIRST ANNUAL REPORT OF THE

FOREIGN MISSION BOARD SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION. R. J. WILLINGHAM, Cor. Secretary, RICHMOND, VIRGINIA.

1906. With praise and thanksgiving to our God for His continued mercies and blessings, we present to our brethren this sixtyfirst annual report of our Foreign Mission work. The year has been one of continued prosperity and advancement. In the home land, the churches have contributed more than ever before, the aggregate of our gifts being $315,248.48. against $283,415.88 last year, and $247,629.69 the year before. A few years ago, only a very limited number of our churches gave per annum the salary of a missionary ($500 or $600); now, it is common for churches to give that much, and a number of them contribute $1,000 or Dr. R. H. Graves of Canton, our $1,200, the salary of a m a n Veteran, W h o Left for China and his wife. Besides Fifty Years Ago, April 19, 1856. this, a goodly number of individual m e n and women give the salary of a missionary, and a great many give $100,

enough to support a native preacher in China for a year. Never were Southern Baptists so able to send the Gospel as now. The great material prosperity of our people puts increased responsibility upon us. The wealth which is coming to us will be either for the saving of the world, or the destruction of our own fair country. God's way is best, and w e rejoice to see that our people are giving more and more to send the Bread or Life to the famishing. W e are glad to report that w e are now receiving from a number of young men and women applications for appointment to the foreignfields.W e greatly need more workers. The large number of neAV converts to be trained, the struggling native churches to be developed, the wide-open doors to be entered— all constitute urgent calls to us for more of our best m e n and women on the far-flung battle line. W e call upon our people to plead earnestly with God that H e send fo.-th laborers into the fields white to harvest. W e are glad to report that our missionaries are pressing forward the battle on all of our missionfields.The large number of baptisms. (2445) attest theirfidelityas well as the blessings of God on the work. W e have never had so many baptisms in any former year. OUR MISSIONS. We gladly refer our brethren to the reports of the various missions, included in this, our Annual Report. • While manifold difficulties still stand in the way of the soldiers of Christ, yet our Lord leads on, and we rejoice in the earnest, united effort of these faithful m e n and women of God. China.—This is our oldest mission field. Since w e started work there, six'ty-one years ago, the interest hais deepened and broadened. Let it be remembered that Morrison, who went to China one hundred years ago, worked twenty-seven years and died, leaving four converts. After ten years more, there were six converts in all. In our missions alone there were 1,003 baptisms last year. A great change has come. Temples are being turned into schools, idols are being burnt, Christian ideas are being introduced as God's messengers press forward. Shall we take China? The answer is with the churches In Christian lands. There is much unrest in China, and this will likely be the case for years to come. Old customs, superstitions and idolatrous practices must be overcome. The very foundations of society and government will be shaken. But w e must not wait. Christianity is the cure for all the evils of that great country. W e have the remedy and must give it to them. Africa.—The day is dawning in dark Africa. With all the terrible conditions in this, our hardestfield,God has shown His favor, and there have been 216 baptisms during the year. One great evil in the section of Africa in which we are working is. that Mohammedanism is pressing forward, and taking hold of the people, making it perhaps even harder than ever to win

them to the truth in Christ. Shall w e be less earnest than the disciples of the false prophet? To-day is our opportunity. Let us improve the time. Japan.—Our mission force has not been equal to the pressing needs in this country. Our number of missionaries, too small heretofore, has been decreased on account of the sickness of some of the workers. W e are glad that there is a prospect of increase in our forces in that country soon. The conditions which exist in Japan make it imperative that We enlarge our number of workers there. The principles which dominate Japan will dominate the East. Think of taking hold, at one stroke, of the force which will influence one-third of the people of the globe! W e must press forward in Japan. Brazil.—The missionaries in this country are still meeting with marked success. During the year, 910 were baptized. But we greatly need more trained native preachers to look after the new churches. It is the policy of the Board to try to develop a native ministry. To this end, we must strengthen our Theological Training School and also our other schools in that country. Italy.—The work in this country is necessarily slow. Conditions make it extremely difficult. But, under God, some advance has been made. Dr. Whittinghill has been heavily burdened, having had to look after the general interest of all the churches, as well as the Theological Seminary in Rome. Ar rangements have been made whereby he will be relieved of part of the work. Dr. Everette Gill will take the oversight of the churches from R o m e north, after July 1, 1906. H e will also continue to assist in the Seminary in Rome. Mexico.—This year has been a good .one for our work in Mexico. The missionaries are hard at work and bringing things to pass. D|r. Mahon greatly needs more help in Toluca for the school work. Brother Davis is succeeding well with the printery in Leon. Dr. Hookerfindsa much larger and betterfieldfor his medical work in Guadalajara. W e need more m e n for Mexico. Argentina.—This, our infant mission, is starting off well. W e now have two preaching places in the capital, Buenos Aires, with one in Rosario and one in Santa Fe. The brethren are trying to make haste slowly. It is very important that unworthy persons shall not be received into the new churches, as they are beginning. GENERAL ADVANCE. There has been no special feature of the work during the year to which w e would call attention above all others. But w e are impressed with the advance which has been made along all lines. There has been a general lengthening of the cords and strengthening of the stakes. At home, the receipts have been larger than ever. Many pastors have become more thoroughly aroused as to their position as Godgiven leaders for the world's

evangelization. A goodly number of young m e n and women have gone to the front. Others are under appointment to go soon. O n the foreignfields,there have been more baptisms than in any former year. Our missionaries are working in hope and love. W e rejoice in the spirit of zeal, harmony and consecration which animates them. N e w churches are being organized, schools are being established, theological seminaries are training native leaders, medical missions are curing men's bodies and opening their hearts and homes, printing presses are speaking with thousands of tongues God's truth. W e have, during the year, been able to build some homes for our workers and also chapels for the newly organized churches. Surely, all of this is progress. N o one can tabulate the work and its. results. Superstition -and idolatry are being undermined, bulwarks of sin are being torn down. God is giving"us some visible results, yea, enough to make us rejoice and press forward, but only eternity will show the magnitude of what has been done. W e praise Him for the advance made during the year all along the lines, at home and abroad.

SCHOOL WORK. The Board has become more thoroughly convinced of the importance of schools in connection with our mission work. After people have been won to God, it is not the part of wisdom to have their children grow up in heathen schools and taught to worship idols; neither is it wisdom to leave the children of our converts to grow up in ignorance. As a rule, the converts are not from the wealthy classes, they are often poor, yet their children, trained in Christian homes and Christian schools, become a distinct power for good in the heathen darkness by which they are surrounded. Some of the strongest and best of our native ministry to-day are those who were taken ana trained by the missionaries in their homes years ago. The Christian school, taking hold of the young minds and hearts, is a wonderful power in these heathen lands. The Theological Training Schools, where w e have about one hundred men preparing to preach Christ, are one of our greatest helps. A missionary, training twenty native preachers, multiplies himself and his powers for good. SHANGHAI BAPTIST COLLEGE AND SEMINARY. Last year, in our report, we brought to the attention of the brethren a proposition to unite with our brethren of the American Baptist Missionary Union in special school work in Japan and China. Arrangements .have been consummated for the college and seminary work in Shanghai. The land has been bought and the buildings will soon be erected. It is a big undertaking and we are trying to build well.

The following, changes have been made during the year in the membership of the Board: Rev. I. M. Mercer and Rev. W . T. Derieux, having moved away from Richmond, brother W . L. Ball and brother S. B. Woodfin were elected in their places. Dr. E. V. Baldy was elected as Recording Secretary. Rev. J. L. Gross having removed from Alabama, Rev. J. M. Shelburne was elected as Vice-President in that State. Rev. William H. Smith, having been elected as Assistant Corresponding Secretary of the Board, Rev. E. J. Smith was elected as Vice-President for Georgia. Rev. E. E. Bomar, having served the Board for six years as Assistant Corresponding 'Secretary, broke down in health, and felt that it was his duty to resign, and so offered his resignation, which took effect the 1st of January, 1906. Dr. Bomar had greatly endeared himself to our people, having botn by tongue and pen earnestly presented to his brethren the great work of world-wide missions. H e loves the cause of the Lord. and delights in spreading the Master's Kingdom to the uttermost part of the earth. W e have found in him not only a loving yoke-fellow, but a wise counsellor in the Lord's work. Dr. W m . H. Smith, pastor of the First Church of Columbus, Ga., where he had served acceptably for over twelve years, was elected by the Board as Assistant Corresponding Secretary, Dec. 28, 1905, and began work January 22, 1906. H e is taking hold of the work vigorously and effectively. W e believe that the Lord has given him to us for this great work. Rev. M. P. Hunt, who had been serving as Field Secretary for the Western territory, and who had accomplished great good, offered his resignation, which was accepted, and he returned to the pastorate October 15, 1905. . MISSION SUPPLIES. Foreign Mission Journal.—We are glad to report that the Foreign Mission Journal was never more popular with our people. While w e publish it at the low price of thirty-five cents; or, in clubs of ten or more, at twenty-five cents, yet, the subscriptions cover the cost of the publication. W e have Issued during the past year a monthly average of 33,653 copies. If w e could get our people to pay more for subscriptions, we

S O U T H E R N BAPTIST

could enlarge the Journal, but as most of the subscribers are taken at twenty-five cents, the amount is not sufiicient to get out a large magazine. The object of the Board is to keep live facts before the people at all times, informing them about the work and enlisting their co-operation. Missionary Book Department.—The arrangements made to keep a supply of Mission books in the Board Rooms at Richmond has proved quite successful. W e are now receiving many orders for these books, and the people seem pleased with the arrangement. They can write a letter, sending on the funds, and get the books desired by return mail. This department of the work is constantly enlarging. Free Literature.—The Board keeps on hand a good supply of up-to-date tracts and mission envelopes, which are sent out free to any one who applies for them. Hundreds of thousands of tracts are sent out during the year. Missionary Map.—About nine hundred of the Missionary Maps of the World have been sold to our churches. This beautiful, large map can be secured from the Board Rooms at $3, delivered. The people seem much pleased with it. FINANCES. It gives us joy to report again a large increase in our contributions over any former year. W e have made increased appropriations and greatly strengthened the work in foreign fields, but w e are sorry to report that w e have a debt this year. Quite a number of the States have made larger contributions than ever before, some have fallen back. The table below will show what amount has been given in each State and what Increase or decrease has been made. a

S3 threaten disaster, events have transpired that will be epochal in the development of our churches, and will make 1905 a memorable year in Baptist history in Japan. At the suggestion of the Mission, the churches have assumed control of their own affairs and agree to defray their own expenses with the exception of a contribution which the mission makes to the pastor's salary,

but which will be reduced annually until the churches are fully self-sustaining. The mission will continue to give advice and supplement the work of preaching and Sunday school work, but will give more attention to pioneer work in undeveloped fields. Beneficial results are already evident in several diree tions, and the optimism of some of the pastors and leading members is beautiful. The spirituality and consecration of the churches will be deepened in proportion as they appreciate and faithfully perform their true functions; and their fraternal relations with the mission, we believe, will be strengthened. Brother Hambleton writes from Kagoshima: Owing to relief work and evangelistic work for families of soldiers, all have had a new object of endeavor and of prayer during the year. Some work, too, has been done at the military hospital here. The results of such work are seen more in a better feeling towards Christianity than in immediate conversions. In our regular services, there has been a gradual increase of attendance, a larger number attending regularly, more interest in church work and in the Bible. Eight persons were baptized, some of them being about the best material w e have received as yet. The Sunday school has been reaching out to many homes, and training some children in the Scriptures. A letter from one of our Sunday school boys of four years ago says he is praying every day for our success, and w e are encouraged to believe that the seed-sowing for the young will bring a harvest. Mrs. Hambleton has been giving all the time she could spare to the children. Lately, I went with the evangelist to a town some miles away by rail from Kagoshima. It was a beginning of our out-station work. Preaching was held on thefirstfloorof the hotel, and over eighty people were present. W e also visited a Baptist brother living a few miles away, and engaged as an official in the mines. There is nothing except Gdd's grace which we need more at present than a chapel for our work here. Adequate work cannot be done while worshipping in houses built for residences. W e praise God for the blessing H e has given us even with the materials in hand, but all agree that w e need a church home, which will be the center for a larger work, and attract some of the best of unbelievers. Brother J. F. Ray, temporarily located at f*ckuoka, writes as follows: Just when brother Willingham and his wife, with their two and a half years of preparation, could have been valuable as workers in this station, it became evident that instead of returning to their work after months of absence in the hospital, Mrs. Willingham must be taken to America 'for treatment. It was a sad day for the little church and for our mission when we gave them up, but we recognized that it would be best, and sent them home, praying that it might be our Father's pleasure to send them back to us strong and well.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Ray and I were asked to come and take charge of the work. W e had only a few months of study on the language, and could do nothing but help in the singing and give our presence at the meetings, but the attendance revived and a woman's meeting was organized, which has met regularly ever since for Bible study and other work. This society has contributed some money earned by their own hands toward the purchase of an organ for our chapel, and a few non-Christian women have been led to Bible study and to attend the Sunday services. W e are hoping that these enquirers will soon take a stand for Christ, by confessing Him in baptism. During the summer, I baptized one young man, who has proved a faithful worker, and others are being instructed by our evangelist. The Sunday school has greatly increased in efficiency this fall and winter by the coming of a splendid young m a n from Sendai, and m y language teacher, who also assists the pastor in preaching. During the year, regular services have been maintained both in f*ckuoka and Hakata. Also during thefirstsix months of the year, we had weekly meetings at one out-station, which we found necessary to discontinue until an evangelist could be located there. It is gratifying to us that while our numbers are not large, and our increase during the year has been almost all by letters from other churches, there is a very marked advance in the display of zeal and interest for the salvation of others. With the frequent visits of our field evangelist, Mr. Chibo, the regular labors of Mr. Sato, our three Sunday school teachers, and a Bible woman to begin the N e w Year with, w e have our faces toward better things, and continue our study of the language. Mogi.—At Mogi, the continuous excitement incident to the war has had a decidedly demoralizing effect, causing many to neglect their church duties, besides removing several of our members. The services have been better attended by women than men, and the Sunday school is the best the church has ever had, but the lack of tact and some serious blunders of the native evangelist came near making a division in the church. With a change of workers and the completion of the chapel in the near future, we hope that a better state of affairs will rapidly ensue. Kokura.—Here, as last year, the congregations have been uniformly good and the cause seems to grow in favor with the people. The work done in the hospitals by the women and others of us has brought us the good will of the military authorities. Eventually, it will be seen that the work of Christians among the soldiers has been effectual in preparing the way of the Lord more perfectly in all the Orient. Thus has Jehovah used this war to cause the wrath of man to praise Him. The physician in charge of the three military hospitals at this place, being a devoted Christian, gave us every facility for reaching

the sick and wounded. H e himself preached three times in our church during the year and addressed the woman's meeting in our home. In turn he was rewarded by seeing his wife, a most decided Buddhist, led to Christ by the Christians at Kokura. The military headquarters at Tokyo sent our Sunday school a lacquer cup and a letter of thanks in recognition of work done for the soldiers at the front. In addition to other Bible classes for w o m e n and young girls, we have five Sunday schools in connection with our work. Four of these are under the supervision of Mrs. Maynard, assisted by her band of earnest Christian women, w h o m she teaches and trains for this work. Mrs. Maynard writes: W e feel that our Sunday school work is far-reaching in its results not only upon the young, but upon our native Christians. Many instances of the great influences of the work upon the young might be given, but would consume too much time. Recently, letters from two former male pupils, now away at school, (one w e have not seen for four years), tell us of their desire to become Christians and of how they continue to believe the truth they learned here. Recently, a heathen father of some of our pupils, upon his death-bed, called hisfivechildren to him and told them to attend the Sunday school regularly and obey and believe what they were taught there, as it was good. The work with the women this year has been phenomenal in that while w e have every reason to believe that six have been led to believe in Christ, only one was able to be baptized. In these cases heathen husbands have been the obstacle. They wish their wives to learn Christianity, indeed, come and ask us to teach them, as it will make them better wives, but they do not wish them to take the stand before the world which baptism would necessitate. Just this attitude is a great barrier to a successful work with the women, which w e trust that a more enlightened age will remove. Wakamatsu.—The work here has been conducted from Kokura since the return of Mr. Toyama to the Theological Seminary in September. His work from May until September resulted in five for baptism and a decided increase of interest on the part of the Christians. H e also did good work at Yawata, a neighboring city, where w e have one of our mostflourishingSunday schools. Kurume.—We have recently re-opened the work at Kurume, a principal city of Kinshu, putting an evangelist and his family there to live. Nagasaki and Sasebo.—In the absence of any items from brother Walne, I can only give what has incidentally come to m y notice. At Sasebo, the military regulations were so rigidly enforced that not until November were foreigners permitted to go there. Consequently, the work suffered considerably during the year and a half of enforced absence of the missionary. Some of the members, being naval officers, were away at

the seat of war, suspicion m a d e it difficult for the evangelist to do effective pastoral work, and other causes combined to m a k e attendance at the meetings small, so that w e feel grateful to be able to report that no real retrograde m o v e had set in w h e n ultimately w e could visit the station. The first Sunday after the prohibition w a s removed, I went, at brother Walne's request, and baptized a fine young m a n , besides preaching to two excellent congregations. It will n o w be possible to continue the negotiations for a chapel which were postponed on account of the war. At Nagasaki, the work has been pushed forward by a few earnest souls, notwithstanding the membership had been greatly reduced by the war. The superintendent of the Sunday school was drafted into service and the pastor's wife, formerly a Red Cross nurse, was called to serve on a hospital ship at the outbreak of hostilities, leaving her nursing baby to the care of its father and aged grandmother; she has not yet returned. Herbert Walne had a long spell of illness, caused by a fall from a tree, following that came news of the death of Dr. T. J. Walne, and then Mrs. Walne was taken down with brain fever, and for six weeks recovery seemed doubtful. Brother Walne's strength has been almost shattered by anxiety and care of the afflicted family, together with m u c h of the mission business that not even his afflictions enabled him to neglect Notwithstanding the hindrances, progress has been m°>de, and the work at Nagasaki is in a healthy condition. I have recently m a d e a tour of the entire field and found the brethren at each station in excellent spirits, united and universal conviction of brighter days in the near future. Brother Clarke left no report of the work at K u m a m o t o , but on m y recent visit I obtained the following items: The building of the chapel, which was dedicated just previous to their departure, took m u c h of his time during the year, but it is a fine one and will contribute m u c h to the efficiency of the work for years to come. H e baptized fifteen during the year and did some work among the students of the Higher Middle School and in the military hospitals as circ*mstances permitted. Their Sunday schools and women's Bible classes seem to have been successfully conducted. Such a meagre sketch can only hint at the cost, in actual labor and spiritual influence, their year's work represents. M a y they enjoy a well-earned rest. The fear that m y report is already too long forbids mention of m u c h more that would be interesting. Brother R a y has nassed a second creditable examination, and is making real proress in this difficult language.
