Of the work Of State missions.
The years since the organization OF
the Baptist State convention Of North
Carolina have been marked years.
Many and varied spheres Of activity
have received the serious attention of
the Baptists OF the State. The de-
nomination has grown until 1t stands
at the head of all other religious
bodies In the State. Its membership
denotes tremendous power and great
possibilities. without the exact
figures, for the reports will be made
only when the conyentfon meets, the
Baptist denomination has more than
1000 churches. gathered In sixty-one
district associations. and nearly 250.-
600 members. The denomination has
church property valued at $3.500.0 600.
and is expending something like S.
008, 900 year for religious work. The
offerings Of the churches for missions
and orphange work will aggregate
$175,000 year. The denomination
controls and operates three colleges
and twenty secondary schools with
property worth s1.500.000. In these
educational institutions there are an
nually 1000 pupils. In addition to
this work the Baptists OF North Caro-
Tina have nearly 1000 Sunday schools

these schools there are 100000 pupils
and the reports from every section Of
the State como the information that

the Sunday school work is steadily
growing both in enrolment and In eff
ficiency. More than 1000 of the Sum
day school teachers In Baptist Sun
day schools hold diplomas from the
department of teacher training.
Many Baptisms Yearly.
Going back to the primary work Of
the churches the Baptists OF this State
are showing good work and are re-
porting about $4,000 baptisms a year.
In addition to what has been said in
this article 1t should be remembered
that the negro Baptists Of North
Carolina number several hundred
thousand and the statistics given here
refer to the white Baptists alone
The State convention OF North Caro-
lima Baptists is the result OF the vision
OF a consecrated mind OF the long
ago--it was conceived by Rev. Martin
Ross. It was in May. lsos--1os years
ago when the Chowan Baptist asso-
citation met In Its annual session. Rev.
Mr.. Ross submitted for discussion this
query: The propriety OF establishing
a meeting OF general correspondence
to be composed of the neighboring
associations" This query was dis
cussed and y committee appointed.
The report Of the committee suggest
ed the formation OF general meet
ing to which all associations should
be admitted freely and upon equal
footing, similar to the organizations
at that time being organized in vir-
ginia.
Still there was no organization COM
pieted. and later meeting was called
to be held on Friday before the first
OF Tar river to form a constitution
and plan Of organization. This re-
suited in the "North Carolina Baptist
general meeting of conference" and
annual meetings were held for awhile.
The leading spirit Of this organixar1on
was Rev. Martin Ross. Missionary
societies were organized and in the
year 1895 1t was decided to change
the name. and 1t became the North
Carolina Baptist Benevolent Society,""
History Of Organization.
On several occasions resolutions were
adopted providing for the organiza-
ton OF a Baptist State convention.
Final action was not taen until March
as. 1890. when the North Carolina
Baptist Benevolent Society. In session
at Greenville. adopted a resolution:
Resolved That this society be trans
formed into a State convention"
Few and simple were the woras OF
the resolution. but the result was far
reaching and the convention which
meets in Shelby on Tuesday, Novem-
Der 9th. dates Its first session with the
passage Of that little resolution a.,
Greenville in March. 1880. Thus was
the North Carolina Baptist State CEN
vention called into existance and
the men who nrst caught the vision
of the need had scarcely any idea Of
the largeness Of the possibility before
the convention. God has called Rev
Martin Ross and many others home.
