EDUCATION.
Your committee report the following
We regard the educational work as being
one of great Importance, and we gladly
| note the fact that our people are beoom-
ing aroused on this subject. This is
shown by the efforts that are being
made to establish and endow' institutions
! of learning for the higher education of
the youths of our country. And as the
character of the school attended shapes
the character of the pupil, We recon-
mend to our people the Baylor college of
Bolton as worthy our support and
! patronage, where both head and heart
| are properly trained for the active duties
and obligations of life. We would not
| disparage other good schools, but would
| call especial attention TO those as being
under the management and fostering
| care of the Baptists of Texas.

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
Your committee beg to report as fol-
lows: It is sad fact that many of our
| churches are doing very little for the
cause of foreign missions. when the
Masters instructions in regard to this
very i'm portant matter are so plain. God
says: $50 ye into all the world aud
preach the Gospel to every creature. !"
These words were spoken by our Lord TO
the eleven in person, but they reach
| down through the ages, and come ten
DERBY, but with power. to every Christian
mau and woman, pleading to assist in
| carrying the Gospel to our unfortunate
brethren who are sleeping the sleep of
death in the dark regions of heathenism.
The Southern Baptist conven-
ton now has les missionaries, including
native helpers in foreign fields. These
are BRAZIL Italy, Mexico, Japan, China
and Africa. To support these and others
who are soon to 60, the foreign board
has asked the Baptists of the South for
$3.50 900. The proportion of Texas is
SIS 600. How easily it could be raised
as it is only an average of 5000 to each
association, or SO to each church. II the
BaptIsts of Texas alone would give 81 per
member they could raise the entire $780,
900 asked from the South. Surely we
ought to raise the SIS 900, which Is only
twelve cents to each member. If the
Baptists represented in our association
0eaviug out quite number who are not
represented) would give the small amount
of twelve cents each 1t would amount to
S2l9 Oh. Brethren, why should we not
attend to this matter? Let US say: Here
am 1. Lord; send me,' or my money.
Your committee recommend the read
ing of the foreign missionary Journal,
which will serve to educate and interest
US in the foreign mission work.

AssoCIATIoNAL MISSIONS.
Your committee make the following
report: consideration of the destItu-
ton within the territory of this assocla-
ton oOmpels us to enter into some esti-
mate of the responsibility in this matter
and of our consequent duty to supply it.
A large district of country in the South
ern portion of Kaufman county has little
or no Baptist preaching, and indeed no
presentation of the gospel whatever.
That according to our ability, we should
send the gospel to this destitute terri
tory goes without saying, and that this
association has the ability to supply it
needs no argument. About half our
churches only have contributed to asso-
oiational missions during the year. We
recommend that pledges be secured from
all the churches for the missionary work
of the association during the ensuing
year, and that the pastors be requested
to bring this great question frequently
before the people. THE COMMITTEE.
