IN FOREIGN MISSION FIELDS
Of Baptist Church
Work i'm Many Lands.

Rev. DIR. r. ]. Willingham of the
Foreign Mission Board presented its
fifty-eighth annual report to the con-
vention in the afternoon. In introduce
ing it DIR. Willingham said:
"In making our annual report to the
brotherhood we wish to express our
heartfelt thanks to Almighty God for
His great and continued blessings on
our work during the past year. Never
have we been able to report so many
baptisms in one year on the foreign
fields or such large contributions at
home. A greatly increased interest is
noticeable in the home land. The doc
trine of missions so clearly taught in
Gods Word is being emphasized in
many more of our pulpits than former
ly and churches which were mission
airy in name and theory have become
missionary in practice.
zone of our missionaries has been
taken by death. Though some have
been in feeble health, their lives, with
this exception, have all been spared
We have lost none of our missionaries
by resignation. Not one has been COM
PEELED to give up the work on account
of sickness or from other cause. We
rejoice in the general good health and
great stability of our forces at the
front"
Baptist Mission Fields.
Mexico-Our brethren in the land of
the Aztecs are pressing forward with
zeal and courage not only looking after
the stations already opened, but enter
ing new fields. The board and the
missionaries are trying to get the work
better organized, so that we can length
en- our cords and strengthen our stakes.
In Mexico as in other countries the
work has, for us at home, passed the
sentimental stage, but persecution is
there still. Our missionaries are cheer
full and hopeful.
Italy-In this country our cause has
not made much visible progress. Great
have been the opposing forces there,
The Theological Training School,
though small, is doing a fine work in
thoroughly preparing young men to
precah pure gospel in their own
land.
Brazil-In this country the financial
conditions have been very hard on the
missionaries. Exchange has been
against them, and, besides this, the
cost of the necessaries of life has so
heavily advanced that our workers
could scarcely live on what we allowed
them. But Notwithstanding this and
violent prosecutions in certain quar-
tiers, the cause has gloriously pros
pered. There were 1876 baptisms during
the year.
Africa-Our work seems to be in a
very hopeful condition. The health of
our missionaries has been better since
they moved from the coast. The train
ing school for young preachers is ac-
complishing a needed work. In a few
years the young men prepared there
ha prn6d in
that country. A new station has been
opened at Shaki, a large town in the
highlands. The division which occur
red in the church in Lagos many years
ago, causing the organization of new
and independent church, seems really

TO FILL SIX VACANCIES.
Trustees of Theological Seminary
VIII Hold Election.


A meeting of the trustees of the
Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
was held yesterday morning but moth
ing of interest was done, the matters
considered being purely of a routine
nature. Another meeting will be held
this morning at O'Clock. however,
when an election to fill the six vacan-
cies on the board will be held.
The names of three men from each
state entitled to representation in the
election, We're submitted by a nominat-
ing committee to the convention yes
terday afternoon. This report was
adopted and will be referred to the
trustees who will elect one of each
group of three to one of the vacancies.
The chairman of the nominating
committee is Judge George Hillyer OF
Atlanta. The candidates from whom
the vacancies will be filled are as fol-
lows: From Georgia: John E. White,
]. F. Edens, and w. NJ. Ragsdale:
from Alabama: j. c. Bush, L. o. Daw-
son and Paul V. Bomar: from Ken
lucky, c. H. Jones, Henry Mcdonald
and Dr. Clardy; from South Carolina,
2. T. Cody, l.. NJ. Roper and w. B.
Oliver, for the vacancy of E. ]. For
roster. and Rufus Ford, H. A. Bagly
and d. w. Key for the vacancy of ].
H. Hudson; Tennessee: D. r. AGREE,
j. w. Thomas and F. w. Moore.
The question of moving the seminary
from Louisville to Atlanta, which was
much discussed in Atlanta a short
time ago, is something that the trus-
tees of the institution know nothing
about. The whole thing grew out of
mistake. said ex-Gov. W. ]. Northen,
in discussing the matter last night.
Later he explained that a prominent
Atlanta man had been reported as
saying that Atlanta would raise a
large sum to secure the seminary, and
that on this f1imsy basis the story was
started that the seminary would be
moved. The man reported as having
made the statement has since denied
that he said such a thing and so the
whole plan, if it might be called a
plan, has gone up in thin air

to have been a blessing. Both of the
churches there are now doing we'll and
harmonious relations exist.
China-The three China missions are
all doing we'll. To read the reports
from the missionaries is an inspiration.
We have had heavy expenses in pro-
Vlding homes for our missionaries, but
are glad to report several new houses
built and paid for. With all the diff
culties in China the results were never
so cheering.
Japan has presented great difficult
ties to the missionaries, but neVerthe-
less the reports of our workers cheer
and strengthen our hearts. Three new
churches have been organized and our
missionaries, undaunted, are pressing
forward with zeal and hope.
Theological Training Schools.
Some of the best work in our mis-
sion fields is being done by our theo-
logical training schools. The nations
must eventually be evangelical by the
work of men of their own language
and blood. Foreign missionaries have
to begin the work, but on account of
the heavy expense, and for other rea-
sons, the great ultimate results must
come through the efforts of the natives.
The native churches will in time have
to call and support their own pastors.
Those who turn to Christ in foreign
lands are generally of the poorer class.
Foreigners require much more to live
on than the natives. so that the
churches will of necessity have to call
native men, If they support them.
Our publication societies in China and
Brazil are doing a much needed work
in supplying the printed page to the
people in foreign lands. Bibles, Tesla
ments, gospels, tracts, religious pa
pers, pamphlets and books are being
furnished to the natives in their own
languages.
Medical Missions.
Our medical missionaries, though
only recently sent out, are getting a
strong hold on the people. Not only
are they ministering to thousands of
the suffering poor and needy, but the
higher classes of the people are calling
for them. Thus our workers are gain
ing access to the homes even of those
in authority in those benighted lands.
The John Stout Hospital is being
built in Wuchow, South China, as a
memorial to him whose name It bears.
The $500 for it's erection was the gift
of friends and relatives of the noble
brother.
The First Church of Macon, Ga.
gives the funds to erect a hospital at
Hwang- Hen. China, to be used by DR..
T. w. Ayers, who is supported by the
women of Georgia. The building will
cost $500, and the land $500, making
a total of $4,000. By request of the
church of Macon the hospital will be
called the Warren Memorial Hospital.
in honor of DR.. E. w. Warren, who
was pastor of that church for twenty
four years.
New Missionaries Sent Out.
One of the most important duties
the board has to perform is the ap-
pointment of new missionaries. Many
have applied to be sent out. We could
not send all. On account OF physical
disabilities, want of education or in
capacity in other directions, some could

FLAG SONG FOR SCHOOLS.
Words by Miss Heath-Music by Miss Kate
Vannah.

Words by Miss Heath-Music by Miss Kate
Vannah.
Two Maine women, Miss Kate Van
nah of Gardiner, who has many friends
in this city, and Miss Gertrude Heath,
a sister of Hon. Herbert NJ. Heath OF
Augusta, have written a flag song
which is already in use in many public
and parochial schools In the larger cit
les and which bids fair to fill want
which has long been felt by teachers
desirous of procuring new and suitable
patriotic music for their classes.
The song is now being used daily IN
TWENTY-FIVE schools in New York city,
and is also sung in many OF the st.
Louis schools, and as these are but two
of the many cities that have recognized
its superior qualities, it is apparent that
it is received with general appreciation
a distinct compliment to the COM
posers.
The words, which are given a partlcu-
larly happy musical setting by Miss
Vannah, are as follows:
Fling out the flag, 0 children,
That all the world may see,
How Graded deep in the heart of child
The love of the flag may be-.
The love of the flag with its crimson DarS,
And its field of blue with its spangled
stars.
Salute the flag, 0 children,
With grave and reverent hand,
For it means far more than the eye can see,
Your home and your native land;
And men have died for its crimson Dars,, =,
And it's field of blue with its spangled
stars.
Revere the flag, my children,
Wherever its folds you see,
For Graded deep in the heart of child
The love of the flag may be;
And it's field of blue with the spangled
stars.
Pray for the flag, my children,
That never traitor bold
Defame bar or spangled star,
Or sully silken fold;
Then pray for the flag with its crimson bars,
And its field OF blue with the spangled
stars.

A Woman's Wealth.
Paine'sCefery
Compound
GIVES VIGOR AND
STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND
RUN DOWN WOMEN.

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness of nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women. The general conditions which con-
tribute to health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion of life power, have
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and debili-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,
respondent, hopeless, and sickly women

THE FIR AND THE SPRUCE.

The term fir is very loosely used.
Strictly speaking only those trees
should be called first which belong to
the genus Abies, but in common use
many varieties of Picea are also in
cluded, and the word has been stretched
to cover conifers of other genera. Of
the fir proper, the best known in this
country is the Abies Balsamea, the
balsam, a tree very similar in form to
the spruces, which grows fifty to sixty
feet in height, with trunks twelve to
eighteen inches in diameter. Its home
is eastern North America, from Labra-
dor to the mountains of Virginia, extend
ing as far west as Iowa. The leaves are
fiat, shining green above, silvery be-
meath and very fragrant in drying.
Everyone who goes to the Adirondacks,
for instance, seeks these frs for
cushions, etc., and bed of balsam
boughs is quite luxury. When the
writer was last on Raquette Lake in
the summer of 1901, these frs were
becoming rather scarce about the
camp and had to be sought with sharp
eyes. They grow in cold. damp soil,
and, according to Professor Clifford, are
valuable only as underground or as
nurse in imperfectly drained situations.
The Norway spruce, Picea excelsa, is a
fine tree and one of the best varieties of
spruce to plant. 1t is propagated by
seeds, which ripen in the fall, and are
usually kept dry and cool during the
winter and sown in spring outdoors in
prepared beds or frames. The young
seedlings should be shaded and watered
in dry weather, and many remain a
year or two before being transplanted
to nursery rows, when not sOwn TOO
thickly. The tree is a rapid grower, and
the seed is cheap and easily obtained.
