Report On Seminary.
Or. Mullins, in his report, said. in
part:
Two or three special features I
wish to note. The Concord Association
in Kentucky, which has in it no large
town, contributed $4,000. Five thous-
and of this comes from one man. but
the country churches In this associa-
ton did nobly. Much was due to the
leadership of Rev. T. J.. Watts, pastor
of tho church at New Liberty.
The Copiah County Association in
Mississippi has conducted a unique
campaign under the leadership of pas
tors r. II. Tandy OF Iiaziehurst and
j. w. Dickens of Crystal Springs. They
have set out to raise $1,000 in 81
pledges, and they have a good portion
Of this sum raised. This EFFORT does
not interfere with larger gifts from
individuals and the Hazlehurst. Crys-
tai Springs and other churches in the
association have made excellent con-
tributions besides.
e
for jubilee endowment are as fol-
lows:
Mississippi. s4s. ass. 81; Alabama, sIo,-
7os.50; Kentucky. $i1.I0s.as: Missouri,
$3.50; Louisiana. Sl,307; Tennessee.

$9s.357.21.
The above does not include money
raised since the books closed for the
fiscal year on April 10. A considerable
sum has been raised since that time.
sit will be Nrecalled that Mr.. w. ].
Slayden Of North Carolina proposed
that we find nineteen other individuals
who would give $1,000 each. and that
he himself would give $1,000. thus
making 100000. Much OF my time
during the last year has been devoted
to finding the remaining nineteen, and
a good portion of these have been
found. Most of it is pledged by those
who Will make payments In a compar-
atively short time. and as notes have
been given / am unable as yet to re-
port them. The report. however, OF
these donations in detail will be given
IN my annual report one year from now.
Much of the money will doub tless be
put into our hands In a comparatively
short time. though some OF 1t is condi-
tional upon our raising the total
amount OF 100000. I suggest that
We ask the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton for collection at this meeting.
ut IL OF the utmost Importance that
we push to successful conclusion
this 100000 campaign as well as the
other departments of this effort"
