Baltimore. Nd May 13.-Home mis-
sions formed one OF the principal
topics of consideration at to-day's ses-
sion OF the southern Baptist ConVen-
ton. DR. Burrows reported that there
was general increase during the past
year of sliLo0o for the home and
foreign mission boards
The board of home missions strong
~ indorsed the policy of the Southern |
Baptist Convention of having no "en-
tangling alliance" with other Chris
tian bodies that .can in any way en-
danger the purity OF BAPTIST doctrines
or practices as Baptists"
This utterance referred specifically
10 the labors of the board In Panama
ana cuba. where 1t was stated that
the work was progressing rapidly. but
that difficulties in the way OF the
work of both the Sunday schools and
other phases have developed In the
trend towards "so-callcd church union
efforts and the obliteration or disre-
gard OF denominational lines
IIindrnnce to Work.
We report" the board adds. thal
the lives of protesting Christians VINO

ing are a hindrance instead of help
TO the Baptist Church. Then, too. the
effort. of some Christian workers to
discrcdit denominationai work In the
interests OF an undcfended Chrisuan
union are adding to the difficulties oi
our missions"
