S2sO,30O For Foreign Missions.
Georgia led the list of states with
1000. followed by Virginia
The committees on the report of
Foreign Missions Board were the first
to make reports and these were in the
nature of general talks by the chair
man, followed by considerable discus
sion by various members. The excel
lert work done in all departments of
the foreign mission work was very
much commended and the fine contri-
buttons for the furtherance of the
plans Of the board were alluded to by
all speakers. An spoke of the broaden
ing of the field and the need for re-
newed zeal and urged even greater eff
forts for the coming year. So great
was the impression made by the
speakers that when it came time to
make pledges for the year the
amounts promised were far in excess
of the past year. A point that was
made by one of the speakers and aft
erwards followed up by dozens of 9TH
ers, was that some people might have
thought that the increased contribu-
tons for foreign missions might have
resulted IN decrease OF a ike
amount given for home missions. Such
was shown to be exactly the reverse,
for the home missions funds and the
Sunday-school boards receipts were
larger than ever before.
Georgia Led the List.
The call having been made for pledges
for foreign missions for the coming
year, DR.. Jameson of Atlanta said that
he thought his state would undertake
to raise $4,000. This was received with
demonstrations of pleasure by the con-
vention and the Georgia delegation,
which numbers over two hundred rep
resentative citizens of this fine COM
monwealth. unanimously approved of
the pledge. Other states came in or
der, and Virginia promised to meet the
contributions of Georgia. The list of
states and the amounts pledged for
foreign mission work during the COM
ing year, is given as follows: Georgia,
sac, 900; Virginia, $4,000; Texas. $780, 000
Kentucky $4,000; South Carolina, $780,
900; North Carolina, $20.000 Alabama,
10000; Mississippi, $4,000; Tennessee,
$4,000; Missouri, $4,000; Maryland, S.
900; Arkansas, $1,000; Louisiana, $6,-
900; Florida. $500: District of Column
bla, $4,000; Oklahoma, $500; Indian Ter
ritory, $500; other sources, $4,000. To-
tai. $3.50. 500.
The amount is something over $780,
900 more than was raised last year
This concluded the work of the morn
ing session.
