Our home field, with the exception of an occasional sermon, ie wholly unoc- cupied. The territory of the ion 0 ion embraces Mobile and Baldwin coun-

ties, Three-fourths of Mobile county is missionary ground, and aJ of Baldwin. This shows seven-eighths of our territory destitute of Baptist preaching. The eople want the Gospel Nomanin the ficld, Preaching bas been much blessed ‘in this field heretofore. Shall the destitate have the Mospel? Your committee recommend the appointment of a missionary at once, provided the financial status of the body will warrunt such action. ms W. ROL. SMITH, Chairman.

12. The Committes on Sabbath Schools reported throu gh Bro. Geo. A. Pearce, which was adopted, and is as follows:

Upon examination we find that only three of our churches give any Sunday School statistics at all, and we do not know whether the other churches are at work in this direction.

We recommend, tn the event of a miasion-~ ary being employed, that he be instructed to pay particular attention to this work, endeavoring to have a Sunday School in eet chureb.
