Three great denominatioual interests
present themselves year by year a the
coming together of Southern Baptists.
There is the Foreign Mission Board ana
its work in Pagan and Papal lands; the
Home Mission Beard. whiSh has its
representatives on the frontiers; among
our foreign population, among the cclored
people and in the island of Cebu; then,
there is the southern Baptist Theological
Seminary. with its task of training men
for the ministry.
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The Foreign Mission Board will make
a fine report this year. Last year it re-
J,roted 500 baptisIns. the largest number
it has ever reported. This year the num-
Der is still higher, reaching Centalnly lZoJ
and perhaps being more than this when
all the missionaries have been heard
from Last year the Convention passed
d resolution calling upon the churches
TO make an advance OF % per cent. n
their contributions to foreign missions
The indications are that the report Of the
Board will show that the increase asked
for has been made.
The report OF. the Home Mission Board
will he awaited with interest, as the af-
fairs OF the Board this year have been
guided by a new executive head named

CHURCH. PROPERTY.

The church property of the constituency
of the Southern Baptist. Convention rs
valued at over $19O00,0C0. The contributions
for home purposes last year were over 81
90. GON: for missions over 1000; for other
bereyolelce over S24500N. the sum total
being over Sg,s51,0io.
AS the returns are not complete nor
fun. these figures do not represent the
aggregate contributions of Southern Bap-
fists They have in their Sunday-School
over 62S. coo scholars.
The Southern Baptist Convention us not
a Legislative body, nor is it an ecclesia5-
fical court Tt is merely a missionary
body. 1t aevises plans by which it may
"elicit. combine and direct the resources
of the churches. but no church Is
bound by the decisions No matters of
church discipline can come before the
Southern Baptist Convention. for each
church settles such matters for itself.
These facts explain in part why the
Southern Baptist Convention lis in session
only four or five days, whereas the
corresponding meeting OF some other
denominations would continue on for
wee-s
Southern Baptists have no one confes-
sion ,of faith: each church formulating

The Southern baptist Convention re-
presents a constituency of over mil
