ended his speech, which was voted one o.
the most practical. pointed, and in every
way admirable addresses OF the session.
Rev. J. l.. Carroll urged visits TO the
several district associations as a promising
means to the desired end.
Rev. William Troy (colored) pastor oI
one OF our city colored churches, invited
by the President, addressed The Associa-
| ton. He spoke with flucncy and effect,
saving that the colored churches raised
about 1000 for State missions. He invited
questions rs to their work, as he desired TO
! give full information. lie SAID as water
sought its level so the colored people de-
sired to advance Christ's cause, and aspired
not to social equality. His people expected
to stay here and not go to Africa. He was
iree-born and desired to live here, do well,
teach honesty, and subserye the Masters
cause.
DR.. Burrows, the president, asked as 10
the character OF the colored religious
agencies, which Mr.. Troy readily and in
tclligibly answered. In reply to question
| by Professor Harrison. he said the country
churches readily received educated preach
ers from the Richmond Institute.
The time OF adjournment having come,
the report OF the State Mission Board was
adopted.
Rev. j. /. Carroll offered resolution
declaring that $4,000 is reasonable
amount to be raised by the churches for
the Mission Board, and that due amounts
be appOrtiOned TO the district associations
which was adopted.

cannon. ID. d.. OF Bristol.

HOME MISSIONS.
In the unaccountablc absence Of the re-
port OF the State Board, auxiliary to the
| Home Mission Board Of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention, the Rev. j. c. IIidcn, ID.
| D.. Of Charlottesville. responded to the
call for a speech by drawing a distinction
/ between the State Mission Boards work
and that Of the home mission work. The
| former limited its EbOrs TO the confines
| OF Virginia; the latter looked upon all the
| southern States and the Territories, espe-
cially the Indian, as the theatre OF its
work. The Indians, and the Chinese i'm
/ California, were peoples Of peculiar in
/ tcrcst to this Board as objects OF eyangeli-
zaiion.
DR.. Ilidcn closed with an eloquent plea
| for the home mission work.
G. b. Fleet. Esq, OF Lynchburg. CORE
! spending secretary, read the State Boards
report, which says that there has been
much increase OF the work and the means
of carrying it on by removal TO Atlanta,
| Ca, and the energy ana enterprise Of the
new secretary. Or. j. T. Tichen0r.
| More thal S3S, 900 had been contributed
TO the General Board in the year against
/ S2S 600 the year before.
Virginia had given to the Board nearly
the sum OF her quOta-to wit. $1,000.
An abstract Of this Boards work has
/ been published in the Dispatch within a
| few weeks in its report OF the Southern
! Baptist Convention, and needs not farther
repetition here.

/ "Jesus, Saviour, Pilot Ne"
Rev. Or. J. L. Tlchenor, corresponding
/ secretary OF the IIome-MissiOn Board, de-
scribcd the territory, province, aud aim,
OF this Board OF southern BaptistS. The
calls upon tins Board for help from Texas,
/ Florida, Arkansas, Louisiana, and other
| States were recitcd and urged rs basis for

/ thousand dollars were needed. lie had
| heard OF Virginia Baptist strength. He
| thanked God for l.. But on her soil there
were perhaps 4 million who knew nothing
J eXpcrimcnialyo Christ. SOin other States
( there were vast numbers Of bcnighted peO-
/ pie. The speaker referred with cloquence
: to the imprisoned preachers whose trials
and triumphs for the truth on Virginia
soil hundred years ago were the sprin.
and source oi the elegant temples, and
/ equipped colleges, and tecming numbers
OF southern Bapti,ls. lie pleaded for the
