20 the annual report of Rev. Walter
y. Johnson. corresponding secretary,
which was presented 10 the conyen-
ton at Elizabeth City this week.
The financial statement OF Treas
urer Walters Durham shows that the
Bsptists gave s54.S5S for State mis-
sions: s33.699 for home missions.
and s4T.923 for foreign missions.

Carolina gave s29.Ss4; and of the
s517.32S received by the Foreign

S5l.14S. says Mr.. Johnson.
In his report to the convention he
urges that during the approaching
year stress be laid upon mems mis-
sion study classes, regular giving by
the churches. compact pastorates and
church building fund.
He recommends also that $50 Bap-
list pastors in North Carolina be
asked TO give at least one week to
protracted meetings and enlistment
work with mission churches. letting
them meet in small groups in about
ten different places for a two or
three-day study and prayer before
they 90 forth TO do the work assign
ed. The board should pay all the
expenses of this, Mr.. Johnson thinks.

to keeping one man in the field for
an entire year.

Such an addition to the lines on

number OF cars up 2,14S. and the
number OF men 10 15,600.

which the conference struck a snag.

recognition. President Theodore p.
