The Secretary read the following
EEPORT OF THE SUiNDAY SCHOOL BOARD.
To THE Baptist State Convention :
The report of the Secretary of our Board, wliile not showin<^ very much
aggressive work during- the past year, shows th;it the SiuKlaj' selioul lias
taken permanent liokl upon our people, and is rapidly becoming a tixed
part of church work. Having no missionary in the field and but little
funds to operate on, we may very well regard the work reported as evi-
dence of successful growtii, aiid cause for profound thankfulness.
Tlie Sunday School Convention at Asheviile so impressed those who
attended tliat it was agreed there to hold another during next, year in
Raleigh, and we feel quite sure these gatiierings will grow more and
more popular and become an cstablishrd annual gathering that siiall
prove, under the blessing of God, a great power in our State.
Our Secretary has been very active in iiis work and to him more than
any body else is due our praise.
N. B. BROUGHTON^,
Chm''u S. S, Boards
To THE President and Members of the Sunday School Board:
Dear Brethren: — The work done in this department of our mor.il vine-
yard, in proportion to the amounts expendi-d in it, is wonderful. All
over the State n&w schools have been organized, and the faithful Sunday
School army has been battling nobly for the cause of King Emmanuel.
The contributions sent up to the Board have not been so large as for the
past few years, and yet tiie Lord of the harvest has blessed us bounti-
fully. True*, we have been a little embarrasseil for want of funds a few
times, — if we had had a sufficiency of means, we could have accomplished
a great deal more,— and we would earnestly ask the churches thr()ughout
the State to remember the necessities of tlie Sunday School Board. ^
A number of warm supporters of the cause have aided us very mate-
rially during the year, for wiiich we extend our hearty thanks. Tnrough
their liberality we have been enabled to eairy on the extensive work of
the office, sending out hundreds of letters, have aided quite a large nina-
ber of weak schools, and the reports sent up sliow that, while a few have
suspended indefinitely, sixty-seven new schools have been organized.
This is a grand work, and God will richly bless those who have mide
sacrifices for its advancement.
Our Sunday School Convention.
At the kind invitation of the brethren at Asheviile, and in accordance
with the instructions of the Convention at Goldsboro, we held a Baptist
State Sunday School Convention in Asheviile last June, which was a
grand success. A very large delegation was present, representing twen-
t}'-four Associations, one innidred and tiiirty-five Sunday schools and
forty-five counties. Di.scussions were had upon various topics bearing
upon the Sunday School intei'est, in which quite a number of brethren
participated. This Convention was composed of representatives fi-om
both our Baptist Conventions, and there is reason to believe that a great
work was accomplished. The next session will be held in the city of
Raleigh, the time being left with the Sunday School Boards of the two
Conventions.

d.iy schools in operation in onr State. However, the iinmljer can be
pretty closely approximated, and n)y investigations iiave led me to the
following conclusion :
Number of school^ at last report n.50
Number disbanded (about) 2")
New schools organized rt7
Presi'Ut number (about) fi92.
Number of attendants supposed to be 4S.O0O
There are several of our Associations which have more Sunday schools
than they have churches, aiul yet there are nearly one hundred and fifty
churches this side the Blue Ridge without schools.
Financial Statement.
Tiie Board has received from all sources ^1..390 01
The expenses of the Board have been 1.259 7.>
Leaving a balance in the Treasury of .....$ 130 26
Assets of the Board, including furniture, stationery, etc 100 00
Total amount on hand $ 231 -i)
In addition to tlicse amounts, at lea.st $G,000 have been raised and ex-
pended bv individual schools and Sunday School institutes, making a
total receipt of .$7,390.01.
May Gcd incline our hearts to do even more for this important part of
our benevolence, and speed the day when every Christian shall be en-
gaged, directly or indirectly, in this great, this glorious work ; and may
wtTsoon realize what we so earnestly hope for; "A Sunday School in
every Baptist church and neighborhood in North Carolina.""
Respectfully submitted,
JOHN E. RAY,
Cor. Sec. S, S. Board.
When, on motion, the farther consideration of the report
wa.s made the special order for to-morrow morning at 10
o'clock.
Elder C. E. Taylor submitted the following
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
It is with gratitude to God that your Board is able to report a year of
enlarged work, aud of unembarrassed finances. During the spring term
Baptist State Convention. 13
of the current j'ear, eighteen young ministers were aided at the College.
Of these, four graduated at the last Commencement. During the present
term twenty-three have received assistance up to date,— twenty-one at
Wake Forest, and two at our Seminary in Louisville. Some idea of the
growth of our work may be obtained from the fact that more young
brethren have been aided in securing education since your last meeting
than during the tirst fifteen years of the life of the Convention. From
18:50 to 1848 the average number of those aided annually by tlie Board
was two. The comparison is most gratifying, and is a hopeful prophes}''
for the future history of the Convention. The twenty-three young
preachers represent thirteen Associations. They are now pursuing their
studies with diligence and success. A larger proportion than usual are
taking a regular course, and several are in the more advanced elas.ses.
The beneticiaries of the Board, together with the other young ministers
of College, meet together weekly for discussion, and mutual criticism.
During the past summer most of them performed valuable missionary
work in various parts of the State. We look with peculiar and tender
intei'est upon these young brethren in their struggles and sacrifices, and
anticipate with hopeful expectation their labors and large success. Your
Board has endeavored to be faithful in the discharge of its responsible
and delicate duties, and it is believed that aid has been aftbrded in no
case where there is not reasonable promise of usefulness, and real neces-
sity for assistance. They crave the sympathy and advice of the brethren,
and most earnestly solicit the candid views of all who are in position to
give information or aid their decisions.
The receipts of the Board for the year have amounted to $3,405.63.
This is in advance of anj^thing that has ever bd-n done by the Baptists
of North Carolina in a single jear for this object. During the first
eighteen years of the history of the Convention, the aggrciiate amount
raised for the education of the ministry was 63,718.09. This is onlv
$252.46 in excess of what has b en contributed by the cliurches since
your last meeting. In this we have a most cheering indication of the
increased interest of our people in the improvement of their ministry.
The debt of $600.00 reported at the last Convention lias been paid, and
the expenses of the current session, up to date, have been met. Bur, in
view of our increased expenses, growing out of our enlarged work, it
will be necessary for us to receive rei>ularly and promptly not less than
fifty dollars per week. Failing in this, either some of our beneficiaries
must be dismissed or a new debt must be made. Either alternative is
to be deplored. Your Board, therefore, embraces this opportunit.y to
urge upon the brethren, in whose behalf it is acting, its need of imme-
diate and liberal contributions. In our business relations with our cred-
itors, a large percentage can be saved and much annoyance avoided by
prompt payment in advance. If the Board posessed a small working
capital which would enable it to pa<s the "dead points" in its receipts,
its work could be don • with more economy and less friction
Upon a review of the history of the Convention for the last twenty-
five years it will be clearly manifest that the labors of the Board have
not been in vain. Many blunders, doubless, have been made, and far
less has been accomplished than might have been done with 1 irger re-
sources. And yet, not to mention those who have left the State or gone
to their reward, there are to-day more than fifty pastoi-s in North Caro-
lina who have been aided by your Board. Twelve of these are laboring
in our towns, and more than forty are pastors of country churc'ies.
It is believed that the churches will more and more seek an educated
ministry. This must follow as a result of increased interest in general
education. 'IMie fact tliat fifty-seven new school-houses have within the
past twelve months been erected in one county of North Carolina is
14 Minutes of the
si-li^nitleant. The tiaiiiiiii,' of tlic piilplt must be in advance of ttio aver-
auje traiiiii)<^ of those wlio ocrii|)y the i)o\vs. Of course thore will bt',3as
there have been, many Avho both can and will educate themselves Hut,
as lonff as God sees lit to call poor men into the ministry, so lonj^ will
there be many whose only hojic for thorouj;!) traininfj must be in the aid
rendered them ))y the cimrcln'.s. And when such men converted, con-
secrated, and of <jo«)d report, as tliey enter the ministrv, ask for the cn-
lari^ed powers of tisefulness that cilucation ^ives. your Board, repre-
sentini: the vast Baptist brotherhood of North Carolina, knows not how
to refuse, save as the means are withheld by the churches,
CII E. TAYLOR,

sults of the year's work. In tliis report, imperfect as it must of necessity
be, tiiere is enou;;li to encourai^e each of us to greater zt^al and labors in
till! Master's service, and we here record our feelinsrs of profound f^rati-
tude to God, the Great Head of the Church, for His gracious blessings
upon the work of the I^oard and its missionaries. He has richly rewarded
the labor of our hands and given the word preached free access to the
hearts of the people.
Tile Board returns its thanks to the largely increased number of min-
isters and churches who have co-operated with us, and generously aided us
by their prayers and gifts. Under God, the great work committed to us
mii-t be done by the pastors of the churches and our brethren and sisters
of tiie churches who love the Master. To these during the past year the
Board and its officers have not appealed for help in vain. They have
nobly and promptly helped us, and the Board of Missions is privileged to
report to the Convention that all of its twenty-six missionaries are paid,
and that there is a balance of $262. 5:j in the Treasury.
All this has been done by free will oft'erings of a large number of giv-
ers, a number that increases with the work and with each year of the
Convention.
The voluntary work of the pastors in destitute fields, during the year
baptist Sta,te Convention. 15
lias beea as extensive and as much blessed as it was last year, but we
have been unable to obtain such statements from i bo=e who have thus
labored, as would enable us to report the special titlds occupied la the
work done.
The work of the Correspondh)g Secretary has greatly increased since
our last report. lie has written hundreds of letters and thousands of
postal cards to the pastors of the churches and to the workint; brethren,
in addition to the regular correspondence witli the mi^^sionaries and tlieir
fields of labor. During clie year his hands and his heart have been tilled
Avith work. This work he has done almost gratuitiously, and done well.
The expenses of tlie Board, in addition to what we pay our missiona-
ries, are quite small. Our office rent is $20 per year, the rent of the
office being shared by the Sunday School and Foreign Mission Boards;
we pay Bro. Ray $15 per month. Those who are familiar with his work
know how well tliis outlay pays us. We know of no one who can do his
work so well; to him, in a very large measure, is due the credit for our
being: able to report the Board, not only out of debt, but with a balance
of $26->.53 in the Treasury, and all expenses paid. Who of us ever ex-
pected to hear such a report from the Board of Mi>:sions ?
W. H. PACE, Pres. Board,
To the President and Members of the Board of Missions :
Deae Brethren :— I herewith hand j'oii a brief summary of the re-
sults among our Baptist Zion for the past fiscal year. Our hearts were
so much encouraged by tlie report made at the Convention in Goldsboro
last year, that you felt constrained to make greater efforts during the
present year, to " lengtiien your cords and strengthen your stakes." A
greater number of missionaries was appointed and $520 larger appropria-
tions made than at any previous time in our historj', and yet all oiu- lia-
bilities have been met^ and we have a balance in the treasury. You have
literally taken the Almighty at his word and "'tried" Him; and He has
"" oi>ened the windows of heaven and poured'''' us out a blessing. This
has been au unusually trying year, and great fears were entertained, lest
our brethren would fall off in their contributions to our benevolent enter-
prises. But instead of tliis, all our Boards, except one, have been better
sustained than ever before. For the particulars ot: the work, I refer yon
to the Statistical iStatejnent and Reports from the Field hereto annexed.
Just here allow me to express my gratitude to the host of brethren all
over the State who have come up so nobly to my assistance in raising
the money necessary to settle our liabilities before the meeting of
the Convention^ It is also a subject of congratulation, that there is a
growing interest felt over the State in the great work in which we are
engaged, and a larger proportion of our membership is contributing to its
support. The work has spread in every directi<m. From all parts of
our commonwealth there come up the most cheering reports of gracious
outpourings of Code's Spirit upon the labors of our ministers and mission-
aries. Hundreds of special meetings have be-en held all through the
•countJ-y witli the most glorious results, and there is scarcely a town of
any size in the State which has not had one of these special visitations
under the|,preaching of our Baptist ministry. As the result of these
meetings more than six thousand souls have professed conversion, and
about five thousand have been added to our membership. Our colored
brethren have also been greatly blessed and will have baptized not less
than nine thousand converts during the year. The very thouglit of these
things fills our sowls unutterably full, and we can onlv exclain:i, from the
depths of our hearts, To God bi all the praise, for He ''hatli ({qwq won-
derful things for us, whereof we are glad."
16 Minutes of the
THE DESTITUTION.
But our hearts satldoii aiuT wo are spurred on to reuowed efforts and
greater earnestues-;, when we look out upon the destitution wliieli greets
us from many (piarters and from which the Macedonian cry comes up»
" Come over ami help us !" Notwithstandinir the grand ellbrts put forth,
in connection witli the brethren of tht; Tar River Association, to supply
that much neglected portion of our State, the Pamlico region, there are
still more than a dozei. counties on our eastern border and along the fer-
tile valleys of the Roanoke, Tar and Xeuse rivers, whicli are almost en-
tirely destitute of the gospel as we believe it, and there is not an average
of one 2)i'cachcr to the county, and the number of churches is nearly as
small.
Nor is this all. There are hundreds of square mil(!S along our northern
border, besides the large extent of territorj" alotig the beantifid vallej' of
the (Catawba from the South Carolina line to the foot of the Blue Ridge,
large portions of Randolph, Davidson, Rowan, Stanly, Cabarrus, Meck-
lenburg, Lincoln and Gaston counties, together with vast belts lying be-
tween manj' of our largest Associations, which are without Baptist
preaching and in some cases without preaching of any kind. In some of
these sections Mormonisra, Universalism, and almost every other kind
of ism are trying to gain a footiiold among the people. And they are
crying to your Board to give them the gospel. Will you do it? Last
year we had to refuse aid to a number of calls, for want of the meaas,
God grant that this may not be the case again the forthcoming year.
OFFICE.
The work of the office has very greatly increased. I find that by
correspondence a great deal of good can be accomplished. Tiie people
need information with reference to our benevolent operations, and I have
vet to find the Baptist congregation which will not contribute liberally to
these enterprises, when properlj^ presented. The Baptists of North Car-
olina are a liberal people, because they are a converted people. My work,
in connection witii the labors for the Sunday School Board, has necessi-
tated the use; of six fhoitsmid and three A «?if//'erf postage stamps during the
year. This will give some conception of the magnitude of the office work.
Besides this, I iiave traveled about two thousand miles in the interest of
the Boards, and attended several Associations, Union Meetings and Sun-
day School Institutes.
BEPORTS FROM THK FIELI>.
The number of missionaries under the general supervision of the Board
this year has been 26. of which 11 have been sustained by Associational
Boards, and comraissioneil by the State Board. And the success of the
year's work, under God, is due very largely to the ciiaracter of our mis-
sionaries. Tiiey are Jirst class men, (and you can aflbrd to appoint no
other kind.) And yet they have denied themselves tiie comforts of home,
in several cases refusing larger salaries, and, upon very meagre support,
gone out into the harvest field to glean for tlie Master, trusting to God
and the liberalit}' of the brethren for the necessaries of life. And not
one has been disappointed.
BEULAH ASSOCIATION.
Elder R. R. Moore has been occupying a very large field in Guilford
and Stokes counties, preaching to 3 churches and at (Joutstations. He
reports &S sermons up to the first of August, 42 prayer meetings attended,
and several hundred families religiously visited. There are & Sunday
Baptist State Convention: 17
Schools in his field, and lie says he " never felt more encouraged to work
for his Master."
Elder Finkney Oliver is also at work in the western part of the Asso-
ciation. Besides supplying one chiircli, he also preaches at several other
important points. He reports 26 sermons, 29 religious visits and one
Sunday School. He says, " We expect to protract a meeting in ISTovem-
ber. Our congregations are good and increasing. While our progress is
slow, it is sure, I trust."
BROWN CREEK ASSOCIATION.
Elder J. T. Brasington has been preaching at Matthews, 12 miles south
of Charlotte, two Sundays In each month. Besides this, he has two other
churches in tlie same section wliere he has done a great deal of good. At
one of them he reports 16 professions, and a meeting in progress at an-
other. He has preached about 90 sermons, and feels very much encour-
aged at tlie prospects on liis field.
Elders E. L. Davis, J. E. King, A C. Davis and J. L. Bennett liav«
also done good missionary work in tliis Association, but they were labor-
ing simply under the direction of their Executive Board and have made n»
report to me.
CAPE FEAR ASSOCIATION.
This Association has been conducting most of its own missionary work,
but the State Board gave Elder W. T. Jordan an appointment to labor
one-fourth of his time at Shoe Heel and Alma. He reports good congre-
gations and a Sunday School numbering 30 at Alma. Tiiey expect t©
build a church at one of these points during the next year.
MOUNT ZION ASSOCIATION.
Elder N. B. Cobb has been stationed at Chapel Hill this year, from
which point he has sent us some encouraging reports. His hejiltli has
been very poor most of the spring and summer, but we trust great good-
has been accomplislied. He reports nearly 100 sermons and more than
fo religious visits, besides attending quite a number of prayer meetings.
The Sunday School has grown greatly in numbers and efficiency during
tte past year, and .«ome of the young men have organized a branch school
a few miles in the country.
Elders J. P. Mason, W. L. Wright and J. M. Hilliard have also beea
engaged in missionary work a part of their time, reporting to the Execu-
tive Board of the Association. As a result of their work, a churcli lias
been recently organized at Bed Mountain with 16 members, and they
expect soon to build.
PEE DEE ASSOCIATION.
Elder T. Harrison has been preaching at Rockingham, and occasio.nally
at Hamlet. He reports 133 sermons preached, 47 baptisms, 9 re(x^ived
by letter, and $127.70 raised for benevolence. There are four tlonrisliiag
Sunday Schools on his field, with 300 attendants. He says, " I'he out-
look in my ctiurches is very encouraging. The work of the past year
has been very successful, and all the churches are in better working order
than tliey have been for a long time."
SANDY CREEK ASSOCIATION.
Elder J. L. Smith has been doing a good work within the bounds of
this body. His labors have not been full}^ reported to me, and yet the
part reported is very encouraging. He has served 5 churches and 2 out-
2
18 Minutes of toe
stations, and up to tlii* end of the first quarter had ba|)tized 15 peroonsi, G
of whi(.'li were at one of the stations. He has preaciied 75 or inon? ser-
mons and paid about 200 religious visits. Tliere are two Sunday Scliools
on liis lieltl.
Elder A. D. Colien lias also labored a part of the year at Pittsboro
under the direcliou of the Executive Board, but his work was not reported
to rae. •
SOUTH FORK ASSOCIATION.
Elder A. L. Stough is laboring at Liucolnton, from which he goes out
and preaelies at 4 other places. At IIoorei-'s Staml he held a meeting
the last of July, after which he baptized 10, one gentleman 73 j-ears old
and his wife Go. Tliey expec: to organize a cininh soon, and have 30 to
begin witli. Near Iron Station tiie prospect is good, and there are al)out
40 persons there ready to go into the constitution of a diurch. At Salem
he has had a grand meeting at which he baptized 20 or more, a-ul they
have built a i ew house. At Kidd's Chapel he has baptized 10. About
40 were added to liis churches witliin one month. " Some of our oppo-
nents saj' that we are bound to take the country soon." * * "Lincoln
county was for many years considered a hopeless field for the Baptists.
I have not heard of any revivals in this county this year except among
the Baptists."
Elder J. Iv. Jones has done an excellent work for Jesus at Ilickorj-,
Xewton and Morganton, (the last named place being in the Catawba
Kiver Association.) besides preacliing at three stations in the adjacent
country. He has lield tln-ee protracted meetings on his Held, one of tliem
" in a neighborhood where some of the people never heard a Bapti.«t min-
ister preach before. We had a ver}' good meeting," he says *' My im-
pression is that a Baptist church can be built in that neighborhood at no
distant day." The other two meetings were at Hickory and Morganton,
and several were added to the membership. The church house at Hick-
ory is about finished, and they are at work plastering at Morganton.
There is no organization at Kewton, but a good outlook for such a work.
LIBERTY ASSOCIATION.
Elder Henry Sheets from this Association writes : " I preached 6G ser-
mons in 10 4-7 weeks, supplied 1 church and 8 outstations, attended 8
praj'er meetings and visited 241 families relifjiously ; sold 25 Bibles and
Testaments. There are 8 copies of the BmicuL Recorder taken on my
field, and 1 received i;S8.10 for my s( rvices. Our missionary operations
seem to be in a healthy condition." Our Board has never come up with a
debt on its hands. Seeds have been sown which will in the near future
be reaped for God."
Elder J. B. Richardson labored during three quarters as missionary at
Higli Point and at two stations in the adjacent county. At one of these
there is a prospect of building a house at ai^i early daj-. High Point is a
growing town, and it is well worth the attention of the denomination.
Bro. Eichardson resigned as missionar}', owing to an engagement made
with Maj. Lynch of that town, to assist him in his school. Their church
has been nearly completed, and they only need a good man now to take
hold of the work in earnest. During the year Bro. R. had Elder W. A.
Xclson, D. U., to assist him in a meeting which resulted in good to the
church and community.
SALEM ASSOCIATION.
The Board also assisted the church at Hendersonville in supporting its
pastor, Elder D. B. Xelson. By this arrangement they were enabled to
have preaching every Sunday, instead of only twice a month, as they
Baptist State Convention. 19
formei-ly did. Assisted by Elder E. F. Baldwin, he held a protracted
meeting which resulted in thirty-live professed conversions. Two prayer
meetings liave been organized in Jiidson College, one for the j'oung men,
and the other for tlie young ladies, besides the regular weekly prayer-
meeting of tiie cliurch. During the year Bro. Nelson has preached eighty-
two sermons, paid one hundred and seven religious visits, attended thir-
ty-five prayer-meetings, baptized twenty-three and added by letter nine-
teen. There is a flourishing Sunday school at the church and the out-
look is very hopeful. The cliurch now numbers one liundred and four-
teen members, is self-sustaining and has called a pastor for all his time.
SOUTH YADKIN ASSOCIATION^.
Eld. J. B. Boone preaches twice a month at Salisbury where we Iiave
had an organization for a number of years, but no liouse of worship.
They have,' therefore, been reduced to the necessity of renting a hall, in
which they were not permitted to hold Sunday school. This, with other
glaring necessities, drove tliem to begin the erection of a house. A lot
was purchased in a good location and the work has l>een since pushed
with vigor, mitil now "the brick work is completed, tlie roof is on and
covered and the carpenters are still at work and the plastering is under
contract." They have expended fifteen hundred dollars on the building
and now need five liundred dollars to finish it. Four have been added to
the memberstiip by letter. There is a bright outlook for the little church,
and the time is not far distant when a settled pastor will be necessary.
Eld. T. J. Eooke is preaching at Mooresville and six other places along
the Charlotte and Statesville Railroad. He has preached one hundred
and twenty sermons, organized one churcli and nearly completed a house
of worship for the same. He writes: " My field is a very extensive one,
running from about eight miles from Charlotte, to about six miles of
Statesville, a distance of thirty-four miles. Directly on the line there is
only one Baptist church, and, in the country adjacent, only two others,
situated respectively at five and seven miles from the railroad." The
cause is makitig lieadway slowlj", and there is yet much in store for this
field.
Elder W. J. Fulford has also be«n laboring within the bounds of tliis
Association at South River clnu-ch. The interest was begun here in
March, 1879, and preaching has been had rhere monthly until October,
1880, when a churcli was organized with six members. Now they num-
ber twenty-nine. They have commenced to build a house of worship
and expect to complete it by the opening of the Spring.
TAR RIVER ASSOCIATION.
No part of the State is making greater eftorts to extend the Redeem-
er's kingdom than this. The vast destitution all around her borders has
driven her to almost superhuman endeavors to overthrow the powers of
darkness. This active body of earnest christians raises annually $2,000
to be expended in its bounds for missionary operations, besides hundreds
of dollars for other objects.
Elder W. P. Blake is stationed at Weldon, whence he goes out to Hal-
ifax and Toisnot, on the W. & W. R. R., also preaching at 4 out-stations.
He has preached 82 sermons, delivered 7 Sunday School addresses, visi-
ted religiously 349 families, baptized 2, added G by letter, assisted in or-
ganizing 2 churches and attended 38 prayer meetings. The outlook at
Weldon is encouraging. Their house of worship is habitable and they
have a Sunday School. At Halifax they have a nice cliurch, and atTois-
not they are preparing to build-, having recently organized the church.
Since the first quarter, Bro. Blake has been preaching also at Rocky
so Minutes of the
Mount, where they have quite a Imudjjome buihlin^ in process of erec-
tion. Elder Jos. JE. Carter labon-d liere until the iii(M-ca.siii<f interest iu
the work at Tarhoro oailrd iiiin to devote more of \\U time to that place.
Eld. .J. I). Ilnfham has done a j^rand woik. not (;idy at Wdiiamstou
Tvhere lie iia« been preaehin-,', but his iiillnence U felt all ovi-r the vast
areaeoveretl by the Association. Tlie Baptists of the State, and particu-
larly of this section, owe a debt of gratitude to Bro. Ilufham for the
glorious work he has done among them. But let his " own works praise "
him.
Fuitherdown, we find Eld. F. R. lJnderwoo<l. His field of labor lies
aloui,' the Roanoke river in Martin and Washington counties. He
preaeiies two .Smidays in the month at Hamilton and one each at Ply-
month and Tine Forest, devoting the afternoons to two ont«tations iti
the vicinity of Hamilton. He has also made tours into Tyrrell and Beau-
fort counties. He has preached one hundri'd .sermons, and made one
hundred religious visits, and organized one Sunday school. The chin-eh
at Plymouth is undergoing repairs made necessary by a destructive storm
which passed through that section some time since.
Going across the country we find Elder Thomas Carrick extending his
labors from Greenville to Washington and Pactohis, on the Xeuse. He
has preached 45 .sermons, made 50 religious vi'^its and attended prayer
meetings almost weekly. He has recently hehl a series of meetings ak
Washington, assisted by Elder J. E. Carter. Large crowds listened to
the preaching of the word and not a little good was accomplished. He
says : "'The cause in this destitute .section i.« looking up.'*
Elder "W. B. Knight, whose field extends along the borders of Greene
anid Pitt counties, preaches at 2 churches and 3 stations. He reports 80
religious visits, 13 baptisms, 103 sermons and 22 prayer meetings atti-nd-
ed. At Hancock church, in Pitt county, they had a gracious revival of
religion, no protracted meeting, but simply the regular preaching. Sev-
eral were converted and a good number added to the church. They
have a building committee appointed, the ground .•^elected and part of
the lumber sawed for a church house. At Snow Hill the house is well
linished inside ; they will paint the outside soon. *' I think the outlook
prosperous in my field,'' he sayg.
Elder Jos. E. Carter labor-ed one quarter at Rocky Mount, where he
did a grand work ; but being called by the pressing needs of the cause at
Tarboro, he resigned the charge of Rocky Motuit and gave two Sundays
to Tarboro, which has grown into a selfsustaining cluirch, and last year
contributed $100 to missions. This is an excellent work. It will not be
long ere they have a handsome house in Tarboro.
Elder A. G. Willcox labors at Harrison's Siiops, Turkey Branch and
Quankin Chapel, besides other stations iu the neighboring country. At
Quankin a church has been recently organized with nine members, to
which 6 others have been since added. Several hmidred dollars have
been subscribed for building and the work will soon begin. At Turkey
Branch 9 have been baptized during the year, and preparations are being
made to build. "At another station active steps are being taken to build
a house where we already have an organization. At still another the
good Lord blessed us in a meeting -, nine were baptized and others to
follow."
Elder J. A. Pitchford has labored at Aurelia Springs for the past two
years. Within that time he has organized a church of 10 or 17 memb-irs.
They have been and are still making efiorts to build a house tliere.
Bro. P. has baptized from 40 to 70 souls per j'ear for the past 19 years ;
he has baptized nearlj' 40 this year.
Elder G. W. Coppedge has been at work on the border line between
Baptist State Convention. 21
Wiinvn anf] Nash counties. He has done a good work, but has not fui-
siislied me with exa-et statements of what has been done.
Ehler G. M. Dul<e is stationed at Nashville and Battleboro, and has
several other stations besides, but has failed to report his labors.
YADKIN ASSOCIATION.
Eld. C. C. Haj-more has preached twice a month for the church at Mt.
Airy. He reports ninetj'-four sermons, twelve baptisms, and two addi-
tions bj-- letter. He says: " Our prospect to build up tlie Baptist cause
iit the present is very good. My work is more encouraging than at any
previous time this year. Mt- Airy is a beautiful little mountain town
and should, by all means, have the hearty support of the brethren and
of the Board.
ELKIN ASSOCIATION.
Eld. E. X. Gwyn has been employed as missionary to labor in the
bounds of this newly organized Association. He reports one hundred
and eleven sermons, one hundred and eighty religious visits, one Imn-
dred and thirty-seven days of labor, fifteen hundred and fortj'-six miles
traveled. He writes: "Isucfeeded in the constitution of a church on
south fork of Reddie's river, with twenty-nine members. The brethrea
there wished the work continued. In that rich and beautiful valley on
the nortli fork of the river is also a« inviting field in v/hich to organize a
chuich."
Other brethren have labored in various pirts of the State as missiona-
xies, whose labors have been reported to tlieir respective Associations ;
among them Elders S. Gilmore, in the Sandy Creek; R. I. Deviii, in the
Flat River; J. W, Collins, in the Little River; R. Newton, in the South
River; Alvin Betts, J. C. Maynard and J. K.Howell, in the Raleigh; E.
C. Williams and J. C. Hodge, in the Rocky River; J. B. Marsh, in the
South Yadkin ; O. C. Hoiton, in the Chowan ; aud M. V. McDuffie, in
the Tar River.

FOKEION MISSIONS.
No department of our churcli work pays better than this. It has only
bren about ninety jvars since our M(Klern Foreign Mission enterprise
Avas begun b}- the "English Cobbler," AVilliiJm Carey Witiiin this
short time tlie work has been prospered in an almost incredible degree.
Tie Buddhist nunneries of China have all been closed by imperial order,.
s»ays the '" Missionarij Journal,'''' and sixty tliousand people in Southern
India "have forniali_v renoimced Hindooism." Th(! king of Siam has
Issued a proclamation, granting religious liberty throughout his realm.
In Central Africa King Mtesa has released his slaves and calls for the
observance of the Christian Sabbath. There is a store in Japan for the
sale of the Scriptures. In Southern Africa the wiiole population of a
vilhige l)ave removed the idols from their temples and professed Cliris-
tianity.
Our Italian mission has been wonderfully prospered, under the labors
of Dr. Taylor and otliers. Twenty-tive years ago there were only one
hundred JBaptists in Sweden. Now there are twenty thousand. They
also have eighteen thousand children in Sunday school. In fact God i*

ance and the uttermost parts of the earth for a possession." The Sand-
wich and Fiiji Islands liave heen converted from cannibals to Christian-
itj' within the past few decades. And there are to-day in India, Ceylon
and Burmah ^ve hundred thousand native Christians ! The Baptists have
in A«ia one hnndred and sixty-two missionaries, sis hundred and sixteen
native preachers, four hundred and seventy-five churches and forty thou-
sand and eighty-nine members, and there were thirty-one hundred and
ninety-one baptisms last year.
The amount of money sent up to the Treasurer during; the year is
$3,545.81. Besides this, $245.74 have been sent directly to Dr. Tapper
from the churches, making 83,791.55 hi all. This is a pretty good s.how-
ing, but is not what it should be.
HOME MISSIONS.
Bro. Elias Dodson is still faithfully discharging his duties as Agent of
the Home Mission Board, and is earnestly pleading the cause of the poor
Indian, the unfortunate Cliinese along our Pacific coast and the heathen
among the population of our own "Southern Sunny Land." He is do-
ing a good work, and we would earnestly commend him to the bretlu-en
all over the State. He has collected during the year $1,002.59.
Besides this, $215.53 more have been sent up to our Treasurer direct.

American Baptist Home Mission Society,
New York, Xove ruber 4th, 1881.
The American Bap(ist Home Mission Society, to Oie North Carolina Bap-
tint State Convention.
Dear Brethren : In 1882 the American Baptist Home Mission Soci-
ety completes tifty years of its history. During this period its work has
Baptist State Convention. 31
been prosecntod in every part of the country, tlse past j'ear in forty-
three States and Territories, also in Mexico. Th-e Societj' has been the
mother of a multitude of churches and tlie helper of weak and strug-
gling- interests. For actual missionary service the Society has paid about
$1,700,000, and for educational work among tlie colored people and In-
dians neaily $1,OOO,0CO. Last year o92 persons were commissioned, SO of
whom were in tlie Soutliern States. The aggregate for missionary and
educational work in the Southern States is nearly $1,800,000. In North
Carolina it is $159,000.
Naturally, tiierefore, tlie Society is interested in the progress of our
common cause in your own borders as well as throughout the Soutli at
large, and the great West also. We trust that on your part there is a
reciprocal interest in the Society's work wherever it is prosecuted.
It has seemed to many that the semi-centennial anniversaiy of the
Societj' furnishes a fitting occasion for the manifestation of this mutual
interest and for an interchange of views about our mission work in North
America. Accordingly the Society, at the meeting in Indianapolis in
1881, adopted the recommendation of the Board that "measures be taken
to secure a representative gatliering in 1882 from all sections of the
country in wliich the Society has prosecuted its work during the last fifty
years, to review wliat has been wrought, and to deliberate concerning
what is yet to be done."
Pursuant to this action the Executive Board hereby fraternally in-
vites the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina to appoint five
representatives to sit With representatives of sister (Conventions in the
semi-centenial meeting of the Society, in May, 1882, for joint conference
concerning the strengthetung and extension of the Eedeemer's kingdom
on this continent.
Done by order and on behalf of the Board,
H. L. Morehouse,
CorveHponding Secretary.
When, upon motion, the communication was referred to
a special committee of five, consisting of Elders F. H. Ivey,
W. R. GwALTNEY, C. T. Bailey, J. B. Taylor and J. D.

a larger number than ever before of such young men asking help that
they may the better qualify themselves to preach Jesus Christ to the
people ; therefore
Resolved^ That the Lord helping us, we will, during the next yeai',
make a faithful effort to give the Board of Education live thousand dol-
lars.

REPORT ON HOME MISSIONS.
The work of the Home Mission Board is well stated in an address
wliich the Board has lately issued. They say it is made the duty of the
Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention to seek out and
supply with the preached word those places in cur own country, espe-
cially growing centres of population, that are destitute of the means of
grace, and ignorant of the truth as held by Baptists.
******
To provide for the evangelization of the Indian tribes, " holding forth
the word of life" to those to whom American civilization has been a

from their homes, oppressed by the dominant race upon this continent,

Refcrriiif^ to tlie (Icmtitiuioii in our Southern States, whieli inchides the
liehls of labor of tiiis Hoard, a ri-port ailopteil at our late Southern Bap-
tist Convention at Columbus, Mis.*., says :
"This field of practical mission operation, wiiich is but partially occu-
pied, presents the most inviting area for missionary labors and triumphs
beneath the sun. Florida, rapidly peopling? with intelligent settlers,
will be soon tiie Italy of America, and a center of influence througliout
the Gulf States.
"The Mississippi Valley, from New Madrid to Algiers, presents, with
two or three green spots, a scene of religious desolation. Not a single
Baptist minister that we know of gives himself to the work of the minis-
try from Helena to Port Eads, on tiie west side of tlie river, while
on the east side the rich bottom lands, peopled by thousands of money-
making planters, are (with the exception of Friar's Point, Baton Rouge,
VicksbiU'g, and a few other places,) a moral waste.
''New Orleans, destined to be the center point of tiie great Missis-
sippi Valley, has special claims on the benevolent activities of the Home
Mission Board.
'" Arkansas is especially a missionary field, and beyond it is the j'oung
empire of Texas, into whose fertile territorie.'? an incessant stream of
families is pouring at the rate, it is said, of a tliousand people a week,
with its railroads piercing its most distant points, and nearing the Kio
Grande. Texas is the grandest and most inviting tield in America, if
not the world. There should be a hundred missionaries of this Board
sowing the seeds of truth throughout that broad domain."
As to the work which this Board is now duing, the limits of this report,
forbid a full statement. It is enough for present purposes to say, that
they have laborers in Florida, Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Ten-
nessee, Alabama, Virginia, North Carolina, Kentucky, California and
Indian Territory ; that in the past year more than three thousand, three
hundred sermon's and atidre.^S(!S have been delivered, and more tlian five
thousand, four hundred miles have been travele<l by its missionaries.
Under the fostering hand of tiiis Board, the Levering Mission School has
been built in the Indian Territory, wiiere there are now about one hun-
jred and twenty Indian youth, male and female, receiving christian ed-
ucation. . , .
Churches have been organized, souls converted, m towns, cities, and
araou"' Indians and Chinese; Sunday Schools started, weak churches
aided and, not least, the "grace of giving" has been stimulated by the
ao'ents of this Board.*
"Over tins field, then let us look with deeper concern and fuller sympa-
thy and let not the Baptists of North Carolina fail to do their duty in
refe'rence to this division of labor in our Master's vineyard.

REPORT OX PERIODICALS.
As a,n organizing, unifying and educating agenej', our religious press
is a power of liigh degree. A religious paper, read vveeklj' by the niem-
bers^iiip of our churches, brings us closely together in sympathy in our
common work.
None the loss does it tend to unity in our faith and practice, and effi-
ciency in christian labor.
A journal devoted to tlie interests of our Foreign Mission work should
be encouraged, because of the great advantages to be expected from
making items of information on Foreign Missions a specialty.
For similar reasons, Sunday School papers should be encouraged.
We, therefoi'c, recommend the Biblical Recorder, the Foreign Mission
Journal, and Kind Words to the Baptists of Nortli Carolina. And we
urge our pastors and brethren to put forth efforts to introduce the Bibli-
cal Eecorder into every Baptist family in our State.

The following report on Obituaries was read and adopted :
REV. ARCHIBALD McDOWELL, D. D.
Tliis great and good man was born in Kershaw District, S. C, 1.3tli of
April, 1818. He began to follow the blaster at 12 years of age. lie
graduated in Wake Forest College in 1847 ; taught for a few months ii>
the college ; removed in 1848 to Murfreesboro, in 1S4D to Milton where
he remained four years ; in 18.54 to Raleigh ; in or about 18;>5 returned to
Murfreesboro, where he remained until released from his earthly labors
on the 27th of May, 1881.
He was ordained to the gospel ministry at Milton in 1849. His life
work, however, was teaching. As a christian instructor he left hfe im-
press upon our denomination and country. At Murfreesboro he wa&
associated with Dr. Wni. Hooper until 18^52, and afterward till his death
he was President of Murfreesboro Female College.
A pure character and unsullied life gave his full weight on the side of
Christ. His memory will ever be potent for good with all who knew
liim, but especially with the large numbers who received instruction front
his lips.
ELDER THOMAS HCXJGARD.
During the past year the Master called away one of our oldest
ministers. Elder Tlion>as Hoggard, of Hertford county. He was one of
the most useful men of a generation now passed awaj'. A child of pov-
ert3', he grew up without literary culture, but when calleil of God to the
ministry he became an earnest enquirer for knowledge, specially earnest
in the study of the scriptures, so that he became a workman '"that need-
ethnottobe ashamed, rightly dividing the word of God." For several
)'ears before his death feeljleness and indrmity prevented his active labor
m the ministry. Erijoying tlie lave and confidence of the diurches, he
waited the call of the Master into the joy of his Lord. •
The Convention then adjourned to meet again to-morrow
night after the close of religious exercises. Benediction by
Dr. Skinker.
