BAPTIST WORK
AMONG FOREIGN
BORN OF STATE
President Nicholson Reports On
What's Doing At Annual
Convention In Meriden

Meriden, Oct 14-with an attend
ance of about 500. the 18th annual
meeting of the Connecticut Baptist
Convention was held. today, in the
First Baptist Church in this city The
address of the president, Ex-Judge Ed
ward K. Nicholson, reports of other
OFFICERS of the board of trustees and
election Of officers occupied the
greater part of the first session. The
annual sermon was preached by Rev.
DR.. Herbert j. White, of Hartford
President Nicholson, in his address,
dealt chiefly with the work which the
church has been doing and has plan-
ned among the foreign born popula-
ton of the state. He referred to the
fund of $4,000 which it has been
planned to raise for this work, in
Guiding the purchase of property and
erection of buildings for missionary
ed during the year was $3.50 and
urged the completion of the fund as
soon as possible that the work might
not be hampered.
The population of this state he
said, 80 years from now, will be very
largely composed of those foreign
born persons who are now dependent
upon US for their education along the
lines which we believe essential to the
preservation of Christian state.
Whether the ideas introduced by these
people shall be impressed upon the
life of this state or whether the prin-
ciples upon which the state has reach
ed its present degree of civilization.
prosperity and Christianity shall be
impressed upon the incomers. depends
lupon what can and will be accoc-
plished by us, who are at least sup
posed to be living and working for
the development of the Christian re-
ligion as understood by this denomina-
ton.
THE problems of decrease in at
tendance upon church service, Sab
bath dissertation and social morality
are to be solved by the strength of
the native church, which should be
ashamed to hide itself behind any
such subterfuge as the Influence of
the newcomers. Christian Baptist
principles must not be subordinated
to the customs and practices of the
old world. Those persons Of what
ever nationality they be who come to
dwell among US must be taught the
faith that is here and our principles
must be impressed upon them. This
means money! it means personal ef-
fort and 1t means personal sacrifice"
The report Of the secretary, Rev.
DR. A. B. Goats, of Hartford, present
ed statistics dealing with the years
work and seconded the appeal of the
president for the completion of the
$25, 600 missionary fund.
