orkers in the foreign lands are fe-
males. We ask that you raise enough
to support the women of the board,
who are working in foreign lands. To
this end we request that you try to
raise during the coming year $4,000
The Home Board.
Turning naturally to our sisters in
service, the Home Mission Board heart
lily greets the Woman's Missionary I'm
ion, and make the following fraternal
suggestions concerning their work
for 1903-1904.
First. The permanent establish
ment of the building and loan fund is
eminently desirable, furnishing as it
does means for much needed purposes,
and promising results of enduring
value. The collection for this purpose
taken at Asheville, deserves special
mention, and the hearty thanks of the
denomination The Home Mission
Board suggests to the ladies that in
connection with this fund $4,000 be
raised, to be known as the Tichenor
Memorial, thus associat ting the honor
ed name of DR.. /. 7. Tichenor, whose
life for many years was devoted to this
cause, with the work possibly nearest
his heart.
Second. We thank God for the eff
cient labors of our women missionaries,
and would encourage prayer to God for
enlarged numbers of such laborers.
One has just been provided for at Gal
weston, Tex, to meet immigrant YES
sells on their arrival
The Work Box.
The box work is a gracious bene-
faction, and often supplied the little
help without which many toilers would
lack comforts none of us would deny
them. 1t is more often the self-deny-
ing wife and the children who receive
from this benefaction things they
greatly need.
THE varied departments of Home
Mission work are well known, and the
lack of means with which to meet the
many urgent demands of these several
fields has become a subject of devout
anxiety. This anxiety has led the
board to ask $40 900 from the Womans
Missionary Union this year. May we,
therefore, earnestly request the union
itself to apportion this amount to the
several states, asking the state unions
to make an apportionment to the sew
eral associations and the associations
III turn to the several societies.
The board commends most heartily
the efforts of the w. M. U. in Weeks
of Self-Denial,' and would encourage
it's adoption by all the societies, noting
people and children have been brought
to participate in the service. 1t has
been suggested that a change in the
name of this weeks effort might make
1t more acceptable to all. Leaving out
the words 'Self-deniar and Thank
Offering and call it The week of
prayer and special effort for Home
Missions
I'VE would not forget to mention
those who are training the children in
mission work. We would ask the bless
ing of God upon them, believing them
to be preparing the workers for the
next generation, and laying the foun-
dalton for greatly increased interest
and service in our Masters cause
THE board bespeaks the heath of
the union to increase the circulation
of our home field. At the nominal cost
of 10 cents per year we ought to be
able to place the paper in every Bap-
fist home in the South. May grace be
given you in your efforts, and may
the spirit of wisdom and of power
brood over your gatherings at Savan-
nah and abide with you forever"
The recommendations of the Sunday
school board will be presented to-mor-
row. At the conclusion of the recon-
mendations there was a discussion of
Juvenile work, a subject introduced by
Miss E. Y Hyde of South Carolina, and
of Young Ladies Societies." intro
duced by Miss +. L. Amos of Georgia.
This afternoon at $3.50 O'Clock a session
will be held that will be devoted to
missionary talks by missionaries.
