REPORT ON MISSIONS.
Your committee on missions submit
the following report.
As Christ was missionary from
Heaven, and the Bible is missionary
book. and as the missionary spirit of
the Baptist denomination is its great.
est strength, and its missionary re.
cord its greatest glory. So each
church and christian should do all in
their power toacarry out the design
and aim of the Head OF the church, to
preach the gospel to every creature,
while risen and assembled Lord sits at
the right hand OF the magisty on high,
to grant repentance and remission of
sins. and how christians can be con-
tent without it we cannot understand.
Hence, we suggest that the churches
OF this Association, help the men they
have set apart for this work, and re-
quire of them the cultivation of the
field of restitution reported in her
bounds. until the cry of restitution
cease to be heard in our midst, for
we have the men. Respectfully SUBJ
mitted. w. w GILBERT, Chairman.
