The feature of the session Of the Lott
Carey missionary Convention OF Negro
Baptists yesterday was tho annual re- re-.
port Of Rcv. w. NJ. Alexander, y. D.,
81 Baltimore Md, who is the cores
ippndng secretary Of the convention, and
has charge Of tho home and foreign mis-
sion work Of the convention.
DR. Alexander, said that the success Of
tho convention during the past nine years
was due to the fact that the COM
mand to go We, therefore, and teach
ali nations, baptizing them In the name
OF the Father and of tho Son and OF
the Holy Ghost, was followed. lie said
that q, strong effort had been made to
cooperate with I'LL Baptlsts doing mis-
sonary work, and that tho missionaries
had been paid I'LL they were promised,
thereby enabling tlfcm to do their,iwork
without $embarlasslncnts. The Lott Carey
Herald was spoken of as II great, edu-
Gator to the negroes in this country as
we'll as in Africa, andla high compliment
was paid the Rev. Dr. A. w. Pegues,
the editor.
'.Whic l have kept in view that the
chief mission of this convention Is to
evangelizc Africa, and as far as possible
rive the gospel Of Christ to all heather
nations, and have worked accordingly,
said Secretary Alexander, II have also
ifelt If nv duty to carefully study condi-
lions on tn home field as they concern
us MS a race. Relgiously it Is safe to
estimate that a majority of our people
are not connected with tho churches OF
the various denominations, and tnat
very large percentage of them who live
orts,de Of the pale tof tn church are
slaves to liquor and other agencies Of
Vice. This condition Is heavy burden
IN, o,,r- rnce. and until 1t is changed we,
who have Il desire to reach the highest
religious and civic standard rs an elc-
mont Of society win hardly be able to
