After the singing of "All Hail the Pow
er of Jesus Name" Rev. Mr.. Poteat of
Calvary Baptist church made short
address of welcome to those present,
DR.. Phillips responding. He stated
that the association was non sectarian
and it's object was to unite all churches
in the city in cooperating in city mis-
sionary work Such action, he said,
es felt more widely through the associa-
ton. One of the difficulties in the past
has been that such cooperation has not
always been shown, but it is becom-
ing more so every year. Another diff
ficulty which has been met by the as
ISOLATION is that the City Missions hall,
at the corner of Court and State streets,
is in a Instantaneous place, owing to
the nearness of the railroad and heavy
traffic of the streets, the noise of which
greatly disturbs meetings. That dis
enlargement Is, however, rapidly pass
ing away and the association Is now in
possession of a building lot, from which
the rents pay all obligations growing
out of the possession, besides sum
left over to assist in the work of the
association. The association hopes, be-
fore long, to place on this lot a build
Ing for the use of the mission work in
this city DR.. Phillips then asked all
present to greet kindly the representa-
tive of the association called to ask for
help for the building, He then referred
to the loss the society has sustained

ton had lost a faithful and efficient of
ficer. He paid high tribute to the de-
ceased for his help in the work of the
