se,,ed before Baptist" making resu
" but two American Baptist cnu,cnes'
with an aggregate membership OF ior'!'
60 The Convention has only three MIS-
s;nasr,es tbere. For establishing missions
,hnre ,he following reasons may be assignee:
FIRST Brpz,l Is part OF "all The world"
second. Brazil is part OF the mission ter
r,,orv NJ this Convention. Third. The EN-
,,sror gives the protection and encourage
ment ~ the court TO our missionaries.
Fourth. 1t is a growing Empire, iull OF iiie
and activity, and therefore an inviting MIS-
sion field. .,.a
Rev. ], w. Jones, OF Virginia. suggested
that there are eight Baptist churches IN
Rrazjl. and upon unanimous consent the
word 4" American was inserted before
/" Baptist churches" making The statement,
utbere are only two American Baptist
churches in Brazil" The report was

Tie special order,
wOMAN's WORKS,
was taken up. The report was prtsehte"
by Rev. C.. Z. Chaplin, OF Texas. IL men-
toned that 500 societies have been organ
ized and 300 Of these have reported hand
some contribution 10 DR.. Upper. III sug-
cests several things First. That we recog-
n,ze the goodness OF God in the Work
already done. Second. That the Conyen.
ton encourage the formation OF central
committees in all those States wnere there
are none. Third. That the Board OF For
eign Missions be instructed TO appoint, as
soon as it deems it wise so to do, com
petent woman 10 act as superintendent
of this work, and TO report regularly
10 the Board. Fourth. We earnestly insist
that the pastors aid in this work, ana we
long for the time to come when 1t will be
regarded so unpastorly for the Bishop to me-
elect missions or fail to organize his flock
into mission workers, that those who are
guilty Will be forced TO organize for TINS
work or retire from the past0rate. Fifth.
We recommend more thorough organza.
ton OF these societies. and that they report
regularly TO the Board of the Convention.
Dr. Broadus proposed to strike out $50 "
before unpastorIy," and from "who are
guilty" TO end OF sentence.
The amendment proposed by DR.. Broadus
was adopted, and the amended suggestion
stood thus ave earnestly Insist that the
pastors aid in this work, and we long Tor
the time TO come when il will be regarded
unpastorIy for the Bishop to neglect mis-
sions or fail TO organize his fiocks into mis-
sion.workeTs."
On motion. this action was recOnsdered,
and Rev. j. l.. Burrows proposed the iol.
lowing amendment: That earnestly urge "
be inserted instead Of earnestly insist"
lie presented a substitute, which was adopt
ed, leaving the suggestion thus: we
earnestly urge our preachers to give direc-
ton and aid In this work."
