WILMINGTON.
W. A. B. H. M. s. FOR 1911

As director, am proud and happy to have within our limits the state annual meeting, to which the workers lock forward with pleasure, and little Ashford is fortunate in furnishing the state's efficient vice. president. It is always B privilege to meet at this centrally located church, one of the three in the association that may be counted among the state's larger Bap- tist churches. The majority of the churches in our association are small, to be sure, but none are weak, for that would bs impossible while they are working together with God. What impresses most that God is in the work is from the fact that the seem- iDRly large appropriations are so often met, and in some instances exceeded. No one can have true conception of right until he does right. so it Is i'm. possible to know the joy of helping on the Lords work until share is taken in the work. Phillips Brooks said aptly: t'Sad will be the day for any ' AnnA w HUI AO DOOO4ACS OOAOOno W4Uu the though he is thinking or the work he is doing; when there is not for ever bsating at the doors of his soul some great desire to something larger which he is meant and made to do. '' This larger work in home missions that is appealing most strongly, after the duty due this society, is the call to win the foreign people at our doors. Our field of work is rapidly taking oh new character. All na- tionRlities are coming to us. We must teach and chIiHtianizs these people,
 or very soon there will be few workers to keep up the churches at home or to carry the gospel afar. In Willing ton our district schools and our Sunday schools are largely made up of our new Bohemian residents, who have taken up the rugged farms and are, by their industry. bringing them back to their old time fertility. These children are bright, pretty, appreciative and quick to learn. Conditions in neigh boring towns being similar, Ashford association has become a mission field, and our duty to furnish religious in- struotfon aparamount one. We must assimilate these peoples, and the only real way to do this is through the Gospel of Christ It Is really religion that oements society. which influences peoples to truth and virtue and which binds hearts to duty It is the love of Obrist that has inspired our gifts.

Although we of the state feel that we have been working in unison for a long time. and 28 years Is quite Q period, what we have done is only beginning If this God given country is to be pre- served as 6 Christian nation, it is to be through the unwearying efforts of those who love Christ and consider 1t their highest privilege to help on His work In the world, and the country can be kept up to its prestige es the Christian home of the homeless all over the earth only by seeking first the Kingdom of God and His righteous ness.
 Ste nding high above the present, Glancing backward, gazing on Feel we not the Guiding Power That has led to victories won? That shall lead and shall enlighten World conditions far and near, For Christ's love alone can brighten Ignorance and shame and fear.
 With the workers stand we gladly Listening for the Leaders voice, Opportunity to herald
 And aspiring souls rejoice
 At the Light that safely guides For the Love that e'er abides.
