THAT IS THE RECORD OF ALA
 DAMA BAPrISTS.
Collections During the Past Year for All Benevolences Will Amount to Probably S150,00O, So
 pr. CrumptOn Says.

The collections for home and for eign missions which have been raised by the Baptists of the State this year are particularly satisfactory to the church leaders and members. The to- tai will amount to about $75,000. when all the figures have been received.
 Dr. w. B. Crumpton who is the cor responding secretary for the mission work. was greatly pleased with the results of the collections. He says that $3,000 or $4 1000 more was given for home missions this year than was giv- en last year and the collection for for eign missions is almost as great. If 1t had not been for the $1o.000 gift of J. C. Bush, of Mobile, last year, the collection this year would have ex- ceeded that of last year.
 The total receipts for home and for eign missions which came into the of- flee of Dr. Crumpton Tuesday, were over s10,000. Besides this, much money was sent direct to the boards at Allan la and Richmond.
 Dr. Crumpton says that the total amount of the collection will be all most $T5.S00. and the Orphanage con tributions with church buildings, edu- cation and endowment, will swell the total gifts to benevolsnce to probably S1b0,000.
