Foreign Missions.
DR.. r. j. Willingham, corresponding
secretary of the Board of Foreign Mis-
sions, made an interesting report,
briefly outlining the work that had
been done during the past year in the
foreign mission fields. The report was
heard with the greatest attention and
interest and at the close the foreign
and domestic missionaries who were
present in the church were asked upon
the platform and few words said in
regard to their work The coming up
of the veteran missionary, DR.. Graves,
who has for so many years worked
well and faithfully in North China,
was given a regular ovation when he
appeared on the stage, and many
crowded up. while a hymn was sung,
wishing to shake hands with this man
who has done so much for the cause
in far-away China. A summary of
the report of the Foreign Missionary
Board is given elsewhere. The report
of the board was referred to the prop
er committee for consideration and re-
port.

The, business of the board was shown
to have increased so much that a new
and more commodious building was
found necessary. The building has
been purchased, at a cost of 100000, and
paid for out of the building fund. The
new quarters are very satisfactory and

Missionaries are human like other
folks, and some times in the terrible
difficulties incident to the work on the
foreign fields there is not such har-
mony and good will as there ought to
be among them. Those two noble old
Baptists, Paul and Barnabas. had ex-
periences of this kind. But we are
thankful to report much harmony and
good will among our workers. We
praise God and prayerfully say, Let
brotherly love continue.
I'VE realize that to a large extent
the workers for the foreign fields, as
we'll as the leaders in our churches at
home, will come from those who have
made special preparation for life's
work With this fact before US, the
corresponding secretary and the assist
ant secretary have visited this year
eighteen colleges and seminaries and
tried to inform and interest the young
men and women gathered there. 1t is
very necessary that the presidents and
teachers in these important schools.

broad. visions, large hearts, and con-

our sisters continue to help much
in the glorious work. AS can be seen
from the report of the w. NJ. u, they
have raised about one-sixth of all our
contributions this year. But this does
not represent all they have done. With
loving hearts they have made an i'm
press by talking. writing, planning,
praying, of which only eternity can
tell the results. Quietly and persistent
ly they are exerting a blessed influence
for systematic working and giving in
our churches.

The mass meeting for men planned

attention. The programme as arranged
is unusually attractive. Rosenfeld's
orchestra will play and the Arion Male
Quartette will sing. The speaker, Rev.
Geo. w. Truett of Dallas Tex, is a
man of pleasing personality and fine
speaker. He is considered one of the
very strongest attending the Southern

Despite the drenching rain and
windstorm prevailing, every seat in
the First Church was occupied at the
afternoon session and the fullest inter-
est was manifested throughout the
proceedings. The principal business be-
fore the convention was the hearing
of the reports of the Home Mission
Board and the Sunday-school Board.
Both of these reports were complete
and gave details of important work
that had been done during the year
past, with financial conditions and
prospects. The convention also heard
from Vice President Dunaway, Of the
Board of Trustees of the seminary,
this being an outline of the policy and
statement of conditions that interested
all of the Baptists in the Southern
country. DR.. Dunaway spoke at some
length and was followed, in addresses
by DIR. Dargan, DIR. w. E. Hatch, DR..
]. NJ. Cornell and President Mullins,
all on the same matters, asking for
the generous UNFOLDING of the semi
nary by Baptists and bespeaking its
good work. The subject was introduc-
ed by privilege as there was no ques-
ton before the convention concerning
il at the time.
