! The report on foreign missions was read
by DR.. A. J. Dickinson. The report dealt
with the various phases Of the mission
field and gave clear conception of the

DR.. T. B. Ray spoke on the educational
features of the work. He told of the
thirst for knowledge, the great scope Of
| the work at present the success of the
mission study classes. He portrayed in
glowing terms the results that will ac-
crue IL our people will study.
DIR. w. H. Smith, the editor-secretary,
told of the use and distribution of tracts
|
of his address, Eph. 1:1-Gathering all
things together in Christ. He pictured
the pitiable conditions of the heather,
yet the glory of Christianity.
Both addresses were much enjoyed.
DR.. Riley Commended.
The convention adopted the follow
| ing resolutions commencing the work
| of DR.. B. +. Riley:
| Whereas, our honored brother, DIR. B.
! F. Riley, has recently surrendered the
SUPPLEMENTARY of the Anti-Sa1oon
work of Texas and assumed the SUI
perintendency of the negro Anti Saloon
Federation of America with headquar-
! tiers at Birmingham, Ala; and
Whereas the work he has in hand is
of far-reaching significance, and for
many reasons 1t Is of Importance that
| a representative white man should lead
| this movement; and
Whereas the sanity and wisdom of
! DR.. Riley in every position that he has
occupied guarantees sin advance the
| wise administration of this work
| therefore
| Resolved That the Alabama Baptist
| state convention most earnestly in
| dorses the work undertaken by our
| brother in behalf of the millions of
the negroes in the south, and that we
| pledge ourselves to cooperate with
him in his earnest effort to accomplish
| purpose which lies vitality at the
very basis Of our civilization.
