The New Mexico Baptist
Convention.

The eleventh annual convention
Of the New Mexico Baptists conven-
ed with the Tucumcari Baptist
church, Nov. GLIB. About fifty
churches were represented by nearly
100 delegates. DR.. Geo. K. Varney,
Tucumcari, was elected president,
and A. L. Aulick, Deming, record
ing secretary. For some time the
question of alignment has been UNI
der consideration by the churches of
the territory.
One principle held by Baptists
since the apostolic day, has been the
absolute independence Of each Bap-
fist church. They have never rec
ognized any board or convention as
having any authority over the local
church. Putting this principle into
action, some thirty-ive churches,
during the conventional year, chang
ed their alignment in order to CO.
operate with the Southern Baptist
Convention.
AT the convention those in fav'
or Of cooperation with the South
ern convention offered three resolu'
tons asking the convention to rec
ognize the independence of the To-
cal church. This the convention re-
fused to do.
The following resolution was Of
fered by f. I. Dlnnaway, NJ. d..
and Rev. w. F. Williamson: We
recommend the absolute independ
ence of this convention Of any out
side board or body. and that il shall
have the right to elect its own mis-
sionairies and workers without con
sulting any outside organization anC
that all funds expended on mission
work in the territory be placed II
the hands of the executive commit
tee Of the New Mexico Baptist Con
vention to be distributed by then
according to their best judgment.
This repolution only asked for tn
right to govern our own territorial
affairs without the interference O
any outside organization. The con
vention prohibited this resolution
from being put to vote. Her
the division came. Those repre-
senting churches in sympathg witt
the southern alignment, met in tn
Presbyterian church and organizes
The General Baptist Convention o
New Mexico. In this meeting 2
churches represented by sixty mes
sengers took part.
II was not sectional question a
some believe. The Baptists hav
grown too large to let such que'
ton divide them. II was ques
ton Of Baptist principle, princl
pie founded in the Bible and held I
by Baptists throughout the ages
and they shall continue to hold
until Jesus comes to receive hi
Bride.

but will extend to the whole county
II tells how splendidly the business
men have contributed and then pro
poses that the land owners contrib
ute one cent for each acre of Liant
and ten cents for each town 10

sum required to place the exhlbl
of Luna county products of all kind
as well as her ores before the thou
sands who will visit the land show
The plan Is fair ard just, and is

mcrce. and we do not doubt vii
meet with a liberal response, TO
Luna county cannot help beinI
