Report on Homo Missions.

During the last conventional year
ending in June there has been an in
crease in missionary reports, number Of
baptisms and in amount of moley con-
tnbuted. Last year we had 659 mis-
sionaries, the year before 487; last year
there we're 6,552 baptisms, the year be-
fore 4,739; last year S65,095.S4 was con.
tributed, the year before $82, 5S8.25
There have been constituted 1914
churches and "a houses Of worship have
been built, and 5l2 Sunday schools or
ganiEed.
The cash contributions from Kentucky
OxCsed those Of last year $l,957.s5. The
Home Mission Board in Kentucky paid
81, 64O.76. All except $3.50 was spent in
Eastern Kentucky.
We would earnestly urge our pastors
10 use every effort to strengthen the
cause Of missions in the different
churches.
Our fields are broad and the laborers
are few in comparison with the vast
number Of people who are going through
life without the Gospel light.
Respectfully submitted,

Report on State Work.

Our state work during the last year is
quite encouraging
The whole amount collected in Kentuc-
ky during the year, is $38, 175.84 OF
this amount S8,O23 So was paid to the
State Board. 1897 y was paid to Dig
triCt Boards, 81 ,64O76 wasspent by Home
Boards in Kentucky.
The amount contributed TO State Mis-
aons vas 1927 "a more than was Contri-
buted last year. There was raised on
the fields for the purpose Of building
churches IS, 1881.
There were 4,737 sermons preached
and 1923 prayer meetings attended by
missionaries Of the State Board, resulting
in l,23l professions Of faith and 500,
baptisms. There we're 1878 additions
TO the mission churches.
There are sixteen county seats in East.
ern Kentucky where there are no Bap-
list churches THIS state Of affairs should
appeal to every loyal Baptist in this
magnificent state. As regards honesty,
industry, bravery and zeal, these people
cannot be excelled. They are predis-
posed to the Baptist faith, and unless
speedily reached by Baptist preachi nR
our denomination will suffer great loss
Some Of the strongest, most &C nseorated
men in the state are laboring among
these people as joint missionaries of the
State and Home Boards. Some Of the
sblest Of these men have grown up and
been educated in our Baptist schools Of
this mountain region. This should en-
courage us in our gifts to state missions,
Our colored brethren number 10000.
There has been an effort during the past
year to train these 10000 colored Bap.
lists in this great work. There is work
being done in almost ell the different
parts Of the state.
We urge upon the messengers 10 study
the statistics contained in this report
and also those contained in the minutes
of our General Association. and earnest
ly press upon their churches the impor-
lance Of this work.
Respectfully Submitted,
