calle1 to order by Rev G. H. Clark,
D. d., who Is entering upon his fif-
teenth year as chairman of the Board.
Among the out-of-town members pres
ent was Rev. j. P. Robinson, D. D.,

ness was transacted. According 10

cf his pastorate' at Jackson, Tenn,
had not been able to attend meeting.
and the election of Rev John Slaugh-
ter, pastor of Mount Nebo Baptist
Church, of West Nashville, as his sue
cessor 1t is thought that the Rev.
Mr. Slaughter will make an active
and valuable member of the Board
because of his successful church work
which demonstrates his ability as a
worker.

ment, Rev. G. B. Taylor, D. D.; on

the Recording Secretary, Rev. Henry
A. Boyd be designated as member on
each committee in order that the pro
ceedings might be kept correctly.
The missionary work was taken up
and discussed at length, and accord

most aggressive missionary campaign
will be waged for the ensuing year
The Missionary Committee was in
structed to investigate the missionary
condition in at least eight OF the
Southern States with view OF rec
ommending more missionaries.
Another important feature that is
said to have been given consideration
was the religious newspaper. After
the return of the officials of the
Board from the convention II
seems they found themselves
with two papers on hand, the Ma
tiOqal Baptist Union and the Ma
tional Baptist Review. According to
thbe proposition offered by DR.. Boyd
10 the joint meeting of the Boards al
New Orleans the Publishing Board is
said to have taken over the Union
but it develops now that it will be i'm
possible to operate both papers be
cause of some failure on the part ol
the last publishers of the Union tc
keep the paper going and mailing reg

contract with all subscribers wht
might claim to have subscribed for

Prof. ]. d. Crenshaw Will edit the
