THIRD ANNUAL MEETING
OiThe Missionary Baptist State Convention And Wo-
mems Home and Foreign Mission Convention
OF Kansas.

DEAR BRETHREN AND SISTERS -
feel it my duty as Cor. Sec. of the
State Convention to inform the
churches and the public Of the time
and place Of our next annual meet
ing. The State Missionary Baptist
Convention will convene with the
Warren street Baptist church at
Lawrence, Kansas, Oct. is, 1894. The
Women's Home and Foreign Mis-
sion Convention meets in connection
with the state convention on Satur-
day, Oct. 20. 1t is hoped that the
four wings divided among the Bap-
tist territory comprising the state Of
Kansas will be fully represented at
Lawrence, Kansas. We shall hope
to see the four associations, known
as the four wings of the Baptists of
Kansas, coming up prepared to pay
all or part of its apportiOnment.
We shall hope to see the Central AS
sociation with its 5000 members and
$1,O5O apportionment. The North
western Association will represent
with it's $500, and $525 apportion-
ment. The South eastern Associ-
alton will represent with its 1900
and $525 apportionment, and thus
make this the banner year of the
the Baptists Of Kansas. All the Mis-
sionaries Of these four Associations
are expected to be present and report
the conditions of their respective
fields. A special invitation is ex-
tended to the Baptist clergy Of Mo-,
Neb, COL, Tenn, KY, Ark, Texas
and the Ind. Il. Let no church fail
to represent this year. We must
make an appropriation to the Bap-
tist African Mission Convention to
aid that Convention in supporting a
suitable person to be sent as Mis-
sionary to establish a Kansas Mis-
sion station on the west coast OF Al
rita to preach the gospel and teach
and do general Mission work. We
have before us as state work namely
Education, home mission, foreign
mission, ministerial, church edifice
funds and general expense, and ask
YOU as christians to aid the main
tainence Of each, and until you com
Dly the work will slumber in the
hands Of slothful servants. Breth-
ren look at the amount sent up last
wear for the state work. We as lead
ers cannot 60 unbalanced with this
rtate of affairs. How long will the
church Of Christ suffer with these
pigmy pastors? We hope each pas
tor who attends the convention TINS
wear. as it is to be the banner year,
will arrange his business before leav-
ing home so not to be compelled TO
return before Sunday, leaving few
to do the Sunday work, time you
are most needed, as the week Is
taken with business, Sunday be USED
with as many ministers as possible
in educating the hearts OF the people,
The purest, the best and ablest argu-
menu nlduC " LHOIIl. k1Cu 10 NV ~
get dear ministers, that the ministry
is divinely called to educate the
hearts Of the people, which literary
teachers and leaders has charge OF
the head, it is the grief OF the heart
Christ wants and demands. There
fore brethren, come to the Conven-
ton prepared to advise the people O
Lawrence, and before leaving staml
the immortal truth upon the life O.
the poor sinners Of the city. Leave
your sanctified lives with its be
nign influence upon all with whom
YOU associate while there.
