HOME MISSIONS
ARE DISCUSSED
supcET FOR THE coMlt,e YEAR
AUTHORIZES EXPENDITURE
OF $4,000.

PETERSBURG. VA. Nov. I6.--The
session tonight was given over to the
reading and discussion of the home
missions report. presented by Rev. w.
A. Ayers. of College Hill church.
Lynchburg, after devotional exercises
conducted by Rev. II. F. Jones.
The report shows the total num-
Der of baptisms for the last twelve
months under the home boards work
to have been zs. and the number
received by letter 20 SEQ, making a
total of 47.72S additions to the church.
There were 6s3 volunteers for the min
istry and missions work; 201 new
churches constituted: 234 church edi-
fees builded and improved; 754 Sun
day schools organized; 35,5i3 Bibles
and Testaments distributed.
In nearly every department of the
work results and signs for the future
are most encouraging, says the report.
The contributions OF s436,050 con-
trast most eIoquentfy with the total
of $Ss,s9a given us In 1907 Sixty
five per cent of the total was raised
in two weeks of April.
An authorized budget OF s4l2, 900 for
the coming year Is apportioned as
follows:
Missions west OF river. s11s.3Ss:
missions east of river. $73.s0o. evan
gelism. s42 600; work among negroes,
$4,000: mountain missions and
schools, s47.15o; publicity, $4,000:
Cuba and Panama, $4,000: special
apportionments. s27,a11. fixed charges,
s2o 7o4.
Thirty eight Thousand of this is ap-
portioned to Virginia. Six thousand
five hundred OF this must be raised
by Dover district. in which Richmond
Is located. and s1.25e by the Peters
burg district.
The report urges every church pas
tor and layman to begin at once a
campaign 10 raise this apportionment
The Baptist resources are great.
says the report, but undeveloped. IT,
and "a half million white and about
same number Of colored Baptists are
called upon In vain for cooperation
Ten hundreds of thousands Of white
Baptists are worthless to denomina :
tianal enterprises. or some 1900
churches in the southern Baptist as
a name that they live, but are dead"
The task of the board is to enlighten
and enlist all those backward churches
Last July the board formed de
partment OF enlistment and co-opera-
ton" Rev. Arch c. Cree being put at
the head. .......,
Virginia must co-operate with this
board through the State mission
board, the report urges. In Virginia
there are I.e67 churches. OF these 81

Church Funds.
Southern Baptists have more
churches. and need more churches
than any other denomination. and yet
has smaller church building fund
than any of the other leading de-
nominations. The total of this fund
is $4,000 while Southern Methodists
have $3.50. 900, and the Disciples have
recently raised one million
The board is to undertake to raise
one million dollars, the plan to be
announced shortly.

THEY GO TO SEE 7. R.
Massachusetts Delegatesat Large Jour.
ney to Oyster Bay.

Oyster Bay, May "A delegation of
the leaders in the Roosevelt campaign
in Massachusetts called at Oyster Bay
today to talk over the situation which
has arisen by the reason of Col. Roose-
velt's declination to accept the votes
of the eight delegates at large. The
delegates consisted of Matthew Hale,
chairman of the Massachusetts Roose-
welt committee; Arthur D. Hill of Bos-
ton; Charles Thompson, a Vermont
man and Elon Hooker, treasurer of the
Roosevelt national committee.
Hale speaking for the delegation said
he had not come to persuade Colonel
Roosevelt to change his position. He
said he was in accord with the de-
cision. He asserted the only purpose
was to attempt to clear up the con-
fused situation in Massachusetts One
of the party said some of the Taft
candidates for delegates at large had
announced before the primaries were
held that whatever the re~--'+ of the
preferential vote they would not sup
port Col. Roosevelt if they were elect
ed. On this account he said some of
the delegates did not feel like sup
porting Taft. Roosevelt does not en-
tirely understand the situation he
added. The colonel will remain at
Sycamore Hill until this evening when
he will depart for his Maryland cam
paign.

SCHEDULE OF RATES.
Is Submitted to Railroads by Locomo-
tive F1remen.

New York, May 2.-The locomotive fire.
men and hostlers employed on the rail-
roads east of Chicago and north of
the Ohio and Potomac rivers today
submitted to the conference commit
tee of railroad managers a schedule
of rates for pay which calls for general
increases in all classes of service.
J. c. Stuart, chairman of the con-
ference committee of managers, re-
ceived the official notification of the
demand for the new wage scale from
w. S. Carter of Peoria, ILL.,, president
of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
Mr. Stuart -eplied to Mr.. Carter that
the committee of managers would be
called togeth r as soon as possible. 1t
was said by the railroad managers that
the railways involved had in use about
Ia. 900 locomotives and that hasty ex-
animation of the new wage scale show
ed that an additional expense to the
railroads of from SIS. 1000 900 to $50, 000,-
600 annually would be caused if the de-
mands were granted.
One of the demands is that on coal
burning locomotives in freight service
a fireman and an assistant fireman
shall be employed. This would mean the
employment of 1900 additional men
annually.
