CONSTITUTION
1. The Baptist State Convention shall be composed of three male
representatives from each white Association in the State and one
annual male representative appointed by the churches for every ten
dollars contributed to its funds, and of such male life members as
have been made so by the payment of thirty dollars at any one time
to the Treasurer for the objects of the Convention. No church shall
have more than ten representatives. No one shall be a member of
the Convention who is not a member in good standing of a Baptist
church in fellowship with us, and no other life member shall be
made.
2. The primary objects of the Convention shall be to support Chris-
tian education in the institutions fostered by the Convention; to
educate young men called of God to the ministry, and approved by
the churches to which they belong; to encourage education among all
the people of the State; to support the gospel in all the destitute
sections of the State and of the Southern Baptist Convention; to
send the gospel to the nations who have it not; to encourage the
distribution and study of the Bible and a sound religious literature;
to assist Baptist churches in the erection of suitable houses of wor-
ship; to promote all agencies of social betterment; to encourage the
proper care of indigent orphan children and destitute and aged

ceipts and disbursements, and, on retiring from his office, turn over
to his successor all moneys, papers, and books belonging thereto.
8. The Trustees shall secure and hold the title to any and all prop-
erty belonging to, or which may be acquired by, the Convention and
4 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
take a sufficient bond of the Treasurer. The terms, conditions and
amount of the bond shall be fixed by the Trustees, and in case the
Treasurer shall refuse or neglect to give his bond within thirty days
after his election, the Trustees shall have power to elect a Treasurer.
They shall report annually to the Convention.
9. The Auditor shall, prior to each annual meeting of the Con-
vention, examine carefully all the receipts, disbursements, vouchers,
papers, and books of the Treasurer, and his certificate to the facts
in the case shall be attached to the Treasurer's report.

objects of the Convention, assist the Board of Missions and Sunday
Schools in the employment and payment of missionaries, and labor
to promote the cultivation and development of Christian benevolence.

cational interests of the Convention.
12. The Board of Missions and Sunday Schools shall encourage
the churches to give liberally to all objects of the Convention; so far
as the means at its disposal will allow, supply all destitute portions
of the State with faithful and efficient ministers of the gospel; give
pecuniary aid, as far as can be secured, for building houses of wor-
ship at proper points in the State, and in cases where pecuniary
aid cannot be given, commend them to the beneficence of the
churches; encourage the distribution and study of the Bible and a
sound religious literature in the homes, in the churches, and in the
Sunday Schools; encourage Sunday School conventions and insti-
tutes; continue, and so far as it may be able and the growth of this
work may require, enlarge the Baptist Book Store, and cooperate
with the missionary and Sunday School work of the Southern Bap-
tist Convention. The board shall appoint of their number a com-
mittee of seven, to whom shall be committed the Sunday School
work, and the nomination for approval by the board of a Sunday
School Secretary or secretaries to prosecute the work within the
bounds of the Convention. The board shall also appoint three of
their number who shall be the managers of the Baptist Book Store,
and as may be necessary from time to time report its condition to
the board.
13. The board shall be appointed annually, and report to each
session of the Convention.

MINUTES OF SESSION 1911,. 13
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF WAKE FOREST COLLEGE.
Today's session of the Baptist State Convention is of the deepest
interest to the Trustees of Wake Forest College. You meet for the
day at the College in the new house of the Lord for the inauguration
of a new educational policy. The Board through which these eighty
years you have conducted this enterprise welcomes you here with a
pleasure which it never had before, and a pride which, certainly in
part, is justified by what under God, with all too meager resources,
we have been able to accomplish. You find here in a beautiful cam-
pus of twenty-five acres eight College buildings, with the new
church made possible by your action adding incalculably to our
equipment for service. The sixteen students with whom Wake
Forest Institute began in 1834 are succeeded in 1914 by 446, eleven
in advance of last session's enrollment; the first graduating class of
four in 1839, by seventy-seven in 1913. You will discover that the
increased student body is better provided for than ever before in
its safeguarding against disease, in its physical comfort, and in its
educational opportunity. The College Hospital with its force of
trained nurse, orderly, and three available College physicians, while
showing this term barely two admissions, insures to the student the
best of care and attention. The new Dormitory just completed at a
cost of $40,000 houses seventy-five men under model conditions, and
the old dormitories have been transformed by the introduction of
steam and running water. But important as these betterments are,
the chief concern of Trustees and Faculty is the teaching and guid-
ance of the choice young men entering the College in growing num-
bers. Two appointments of consequence have been made to meet
urgent needs in the teaching force— Dr. John W. Nowell, Master of
Arts of Wake Forest and Doctor of Philosophy of Johns Hopkins, to
the Associate Professorship of Chemistry, and Mr. Clarence D. Johns,
graduate student of Harvard and Master of Arts of Chicago, to the
Associate Professorship of Political Science. Professor Roger P.
McCutcheon, Bachelor of Arts of Wake Forest and Master of Arts
of Harvard, was called from the University of Minnesota faculty to
conduct the department of English in the absence for a year of Dr.
Benjamin Sledd and Associate Professor Jay B. Hubbell.
The spiritual needs of the students are likewise recognized in the
budget and program of the College. Ninety-two per cent of them are
members of churches. For their religious refreshment and renewal
and for the salvation of the remaining eight per cent a remarkable
succession of meetings, beginning in a special Faculty meet-
ing and extending throughout the month of November, was led by
Dr. W. R. Cullom, of the chair of the Bible. The results must be
far-reaching and permanent. The College chaplain, Rev. Walter N.
Johnson, will return to his work in the College and community as
soon as he is relieved of the collection of funds for the new church.
14 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
During his enforced absence his pulpit has been supplied mainly by
Dr. Charles E. Taylor and Dr. W. R. Cullom.
The total annual budget of the College now reaches the sum of
$62,850. Of this amount the fees paid by students cover about 40
per cent. The remainder must be provided by the endowment. To
say nothing of permanent improvement, enlarging patronage in-
volves enlarging budget. Out of the urgency of this situation we
appeal to the churches represented here to respond generously to the
action of the Convention at the Shelby session and provide for
Christian education in their regular contributions as one of the
important means for bringing in the Kingdom of our Lord.
You are asked to approve the election of T. H. King, of Mt. Airy,
R. A. McFarland, of Scotland Neck, and W. H. Reddish, of Wades-
boro, as Trustees, to fill vacancies on the Board.
For the Board of Trustees of Wake Forest College.
Wiliam Louis Poteat.
The report of the Trustees of Meredith College was read
by Livingston Johnson, viz. :
REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES OF MEREDITH COLLEGE.
In presenting our sixteenth annual report we wish to make grate-
ful acknowledgment of the manifest favor of our God during the
past session and of our unfailing sympathy. Under the divine
direction, as we trust, and by your generous support, we have en-
deavored to move steadily forward year by year toward the high goal
set by our founders. While our enrollment has fluctuated slightly
the trend has been upward. This year of unprecedented financial
disturbance, for example, shows an increase over last session, in
spite of the fact that some twenty-five applicants for rooms last fall
were kept at home by the sudden paralysis of business. The total
enrollment to date is 362, representing eight other denominations
and five other States. You will observe that this general increase
has been maintained in spite of the loss of about ninety students by
the successive elimination of the Business Department, the first
eight grades, and the Department of Elocution. We could doubtless
increase our attendance away beyond our dormitory capacity by
issuing scholarships or granting free tuition to certain classes, as
we should like to do; or we could accomplish the same result by
cutting rates to meet competition, and perhaps to some extent, also,
by lowering our standard. But the former of the last two plans
seems to us inherently wrong, and the latter both inadvisable and
undesirable. While we are anxious to reach as many of our young
women as possible we do not desire numbers -at the cost of quality
and efficiency. Moreover, while we wish to keep, and must keep,
in contact with our academies, we must also maintain, as far as we
MINUTES OF SESSION 191/,. 15
can, the standard which was contemplated by the resolution of this
Convention and by the charter of the State under which the College
was projected.
Many of you are already aware of the high place that has been
assigned to Meredith by the common opinion of educational experts,
and the rest of you will be interested to learn that this opinion has
been recently reinforced by deliverances respectively from a profes-
sor of Harvard University and the chairman of the Committee on
College Standards appointed by the Southern Association of College
Women (who lives in another State), after investigation on their
part. In the pursuit of its present policy the college has been en-
abled to reach this position, and we trust that under the good hand
of God we shall continue to deserve the confidence and respect of in-
telligent people, and at the same time to serve the best interests of
our denomination.
Faculty and students appear to agree in the opinion that the gen-
eral college spirit has rarely, if ever, shown up quite so well as
during the present session; and the student body in general are
manifesting commendable interest in the various religious activities
of the college.
As announced in the last catalogue and advertised during the
summer, four new features have been added to our regular college
work, namely: Courses in Common School Music .and Art, to equip
students to teach these two subjects, which Superintendent Joyner
says are likely soon to be required of our public school teachers;
second, an elective course in Bible Doctrines, whose purpose is to
afford a better understanding of Baptist principles; third, a two-year
College Course leading to a junior college diploma, which will attest
the holder's fitness to teach in the high schools. This course covers
the work of our freshman and sophomore years and was designed to
meet the cases of those students who have not the time or the money
requisite for a four-year course. Fourth, a full course leading to the
degree of Bachelor of Science, including four years in Home Eco-
nomics. It will be observed, therefore, that this course in Home
Economics is no easy mark and offers no short cut to a diploma.
And yet, the pupils have manifested such a warm appreciation of its
advantages that more of them applied for it the first year than we
could accommodate; so that the trustees will doubtless be asked to
provide larger accommodations and more teaching force for this
department next year. This work is being done in the McKee
building, which has been refitted, furnished and equipped for the
purpose at a cost of $2,064.68.
In addition to these four new features we have inaugurated this
session a series of monthly lectures on the various phases of our
denominational work. These lectures are to be given by represent-
atives of the several Boards, and at some good hour each month the
whole college is called together to hear them.
16 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
Since your last session Miss Thompson, instructor in English, and
Miss Loomis, professor of Latin, have resigned from the college
faculty. Miss Dickinson has resigned as head of the High School,
and Misses Pearson, Sams, Futrell, and Robbins, from the music
faculty. Miss Katherine Campbell Johnson, one of our own grad-
uates, has succeeded Miss Thompson, and Miss Helen Hull Law, A.B.
and A.M. of Vassar, succeeds Miss Loomis. Miss Katherine Parker,
A.B. of Meredith and B.S. of Simmons, was secured to organize and
conduct the Department of Home Economics. Miss Parker came to
us from the United States Government College of Agriculture in
Porto Rico, where she was assistant professor and later head of the
Department of Home Economics. Miss Mary Parker Brown, A.B., of
Vassar, succeeds Miss Dickinson as head of the High School. Miss
Karen Ann Ellington Poole and Mrs. Sarah Lambeth Blalock, both
our own graduates, have been elected as instructors in Voice and
Piano, respectively; and Miss Edna Estelle Hall, professor of
Piano, in place of Miss Futrell. After graduating in the Music De-
partment of Yale University, Miss Hall studied first in the Hartford
Conservatory, with Carlo Buonamicci, then in New York, with
August Spanuth and Rafael Joseffy, and afterwards three years in
Germany, with Richard Burmeister. She came to us from Olivet
College, Michigan, where she had held the position of Music Di-
rector.
To succeed Miss Robbins we elected Mr. Albert Mildenberg as
director of the Department of Piano. Mr. Mildenberg was a student
for seven years under Joseffy, New York, and afterwards studied
abroad under Herman, Leschetizsky, Puccini, Sgambati and Mas-
senet. For eight or ten years he taught in Mrs. Scovill's School in
New York during the winter and in Paris during the summer; and
it may not be improper to state that in his first recital at Meredith,
of which every number was his own composition, he scored a nota-
ble triumph.
In the Art Department we are glad to report the return of Miss
Poteat after a year of restful travel and study abroad.
The election of Bro. G. E. Lineberry to the presidency of Chowan
College has deprived us for the most part of his valuable services
as treasurer of Meredith since the first of August. And this loss,
together with the extraordinary business depression which has
fallen upon our country, has somewhat hindered the collection of
notes given for our endowment. Up to this fall comparatively few
of these notes have been left unpaid as they matured, and it is
earnestly hoped that our brethren will do their utmost to meet
those maturing this fall and winter, without waiting for an agent
to call on them in person; otherwise the college must suffer a seri-
ous and embarrassing loss.
During the conventional year to December 1st we have collected
on the endowment fund $33,431.11, and a total since the campaign
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 17
began of $98,609.10. These amounts cover collections from our own
State and also those from the General Education Board, $75,360.56
having been paid by our own people and $23,248.54 by the General
Education Board of New York.
We heartily endorse the Convention's action last year in project-
ing a movement looking towards the correlation of our Baptist
schools on some such line as that which is to be submitted by the
special committee appointed at its last session.
As we were entering the chapel last commencement morning, tid-
ings came that Bro. N. B. Broughton had died that morning in
Philadelphia whither he had gone for a serious operation. Brother
Broughton was a charter member of our Board, and at the time of
his death was the only one of the original trustees appointed by the
Convention at its session in 1889 who was still a member of the
Board. Throughout this quarter of a century, and under the strain
of a life abundant in labors, he served the college faithfully and
effectively, having been for almost the whole of this period a mem-
ber of our executive committee. He gave freely of his time, his
means, and his valuable services, and we wish to record our sense
of the serious loss sustained in his death by Meredith College in
common with every other department of our denominational work.
Prof. John R. Sampey, of the Southern Baptist Theologi-
cal Seminary, was recognized, and felicitated himself on
being present on this auspicious occasion.
The report of the Board of Trustees of Chowan College
was read by President G. E. Lineberry, viz. :
REPORT OF CHOWAN COLLEGE.
Early in the days of the development of our denominational work
in the State our Baptist leaders in the old Chowan Association
builded more wisely than perhaps they ever dreamed of, for sixty-
seven years ago looking out over that section they decided to build
a college for the education of their girls. This institution, as they
designed it, was not only to develop thoroughly the mental powers
of their girls, but was to train and develop strong Christian work-
ers. Several of the daughters of this institution are numbered
among the list of the mission workers to the foreign fields, but the
greatest benefit has been felt in this eastern section, which it has
dotted with hundreds of cultured Christian homes. Here have been
gathered daughters from the most cultured homes of the State,
some from the homes of wealth along with the members of others
from the humbler walks of life, and all received alike their training

and inspiration for lives of greater usefulness in the Master's
service.
While the present administration was not able to begin work
until a few days before the opening of the fall term, already eighty
boarding students have been enrolled and fifteen local students,
making a total enrollment of ninety-five. This is nearly as many
as the school is prepared to take care of at present, and but for
the depressed financial condition, all rooms would have been filled.
Already several new students have engaged rooms for the spring
term. We have had no cases of serious sickness, and we are pleased
to note the good work and deportment of the student body and
splendid loyalty they show to the institution. We have a faculty
of fourteen teachers.
More than a year ago the work of organizing Chowan Clubs be-
gan, and the first Home-Coining Day was observed. Under the ex-
cellent management and with the untiring work of their president,
Miss Esther Wynne, and their secretary, Mrs. D. R. Britton, they
have already organized many clubs, and many others are arranging
to organize soon. These clubs arranged for their Home-Coming
Day at the college this year on October 20th, and nearly one hun-
dred former students were present. In addition to the many help-
ful addresses given by the former students, the editor of the Biblical
Recorder was present, and gave a very valuable address on Sym-
metrical Culture. These clubs are doing much in adding valuable
equipment and making many improvements at the college, and are
arranging this year a loan fund to the amount of $400 to help de-
serving young women.
At a recent meeting of the trustees it was arranged for Dr. T. T.
Speight, one of the best known and best loved men in this section,
to take the field at once to arrange for the indebtedness incurred
by the former administration. We hope for the hearty cooperation
of the many loyal friends of this institution in freeing it from its
indebtedness at an early date, and enable it to continue its great
work of usefulness in training young women for lives of service.
Submitted by request of the Board.
G. E. Lixeberry, President.
The report of the Board of Education was read by Secre-
tary W. R. Oullom, viz.:
REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
This is the fourteenth annual report of the Board of Education
to be presented to this Convention by the present secretary. For
reasons to be stated at the close of the report, a brief review may
not be out of place. And as a preparation for this review I have
asked Dr. W. B. Royall, the Recording Secretary of the Board, for a
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 19
few words of reminiscence. Dr. Royall is now closing his fiftieth
year in the capacity of Recording Secretary of the Board. He
writes me as follows:
"The Board of Education of the North Carolina Baptist State
Convention held its first meeting as a distinct organization on Janu-
ary 30, 1864. Until then the Convention had but one board, known
as the 'Board of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina.'
At the organization of the Board of Education on January 30, 1864,
Col. S. S. Biddle was elected president and Rev. W. T. Brooks, re-
cording secretary. There is a sublime pathos in the fact that the
chief business of the Board at this first meeting was that of making
provision to raise funds for the education of children of disabled
and deceased soldiers of the Confederacy. The second meeting of
the Board was not held until November 9, 1S65, more than six
months after the close of the Civil War. The members of the
Board present at this meeting were W. M. Wingate, W. T. Walters,
W. T. Brooks, William Royall, Jas. H. Foote and W. B. Royall. W.
T. Brooks was elected president and W. B. Royall recording secre-
tary. The secretary has continued to hold this position to the pres-
ent time, so that on November 9, 1914, began his fiftieth year as a
member and servant of the Board. For the first ten years the aver-
age number of young ministers aided annually by the Board was
not more than ten. Seven was as many new applicants for aid as
were in this period received for any one year. Among those aided
by the Board in these years of painful readjustments and slender
purses were men whose names make luminous the pages of North
Carolina Baptist history."
During these fifty years such men as W. T. Walters, Chas. E.
Taylor, John B. Carlyle, R. T. Vann, W. R. Gwaltney, and John
Mitchell have served as Corresponding Secretaries of the Board. In
July, 1901, the present incumbent was elected to succeed the saintly
Dr. John Mitchell.
Following are a few of the items to which we would call the at-
tention of the Convention:
1. The board at that time was $750 in debt. At the close of the
next year the secretary borrowed $500 with which to pay the final
board bills of its beneficiaries at commencement. At the close of
the next year a small amount was borrowed, but since that time
we have managed to keep a little money in the treasury and pay
all bills when due.
2. During the session of 1900 to 1901, the Board aided thirty-six
young ministers. Up to the present time during the present ses-
sion, of the eighty-nine young ministers at Wake Forest the Board
has extended aid to seventy-seven. Of the forty-one young minis-
ters at Louisville from North Carolina the board has aided twenty-
five, making a total of one hundred and two (102).
3. For the first few years of the present administration the sec-
20 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
retary came to the Convention with his report in his pocket and
had to ask special permission to read it. At the session of the
Convention at Wilmington the Committee on Program was ordered
to make a place for this report.
4. Three times during these fourteen years this work has been
brought to the special attention of the women of our churches — ■
at Elizabeth City, at Wilmington and at Goldsboro. One year ago
a page was given in the printed report of the board on "Woman
and the Ministry." This page is again commended to the women
of our churches for their careful and prayerful consideration. The
matter is of too great and too vital importance to be set aside with-
out the most careful consideration.
5. The Slate Loan Fund has been inaugurated and developed until
it now amounts to nearly $3,000. Many young men have been en-
abled to tide over emergencies through the aid of this fund. The
name of Bro. Jas. F. Slate, of Stokes County, should not be al-
lowed to perish among North Carolina Baptists.
6. Just one year ago the Secretary of the Board was invited to
Mt. Airy to talk over with an honored brother in that mountain
city the question of a bequest to the Board. We are glad to record
that Bro. J. K. Reynolds has very kindly arranged to give $5,000
to the board at his death. The income from this ought to keep two
men in college indefinitely, and the results to the work of the king-
dom of God of sending out two well equipped preachers of the gos-
pel for every period of four years through an indefinite time cannot
be estimated. The man who joins our God in making a preacher
of the gospel is joining hands with God in initiating and promot-
ing every worthy enterprise under the sun. Brother Reynolds'
name will not be forgotten among us.
7. Several other good people, whose names I am not at liberty to
use in this connection, have remembered the Board in their wills,
and in a few years we should have some important additions to the
permanent endowment of the Board. Can a little money be left
where it will count more for the glory of God and for the good of
men?
8. During the past year Mrs. W. O. Allen, of Windsor, has given
the Board $1,000 in cash to be invested and the income from which
is to go into the current funds of the Board. Mrs. Allen is a daugh-
ter of the lamented Elder Jas. S. Purefoy, whose heroic sacrifices
saved the college to the denomination and to the kingdom of God
at a most critical time in its history. His mantle has fallen on
his daughter and she is wearing it worthily. The Board will ever
hold Mrs. Allen in grateful remembrance.
9. About ten or twelve years ago, at the urgent request of the
First Baptist Church of Statesville, the Board extended aid to its
first beneficiary looking toward the work of a medical missionary.
Since that time aid has been extended to several men of this class.
MINUTES OF SESSION 19Uh 21
So far no one of them has gone out to the foreign field, and there
has been some doubt in the minds of at least some members of the
Board as to the expediency of perpetuating this feature of its work.
The Board would be glad to be instructed by the Convention at this
point.
10. One year ago the Convention ordered the Board to receive
and disburse funds for our North Carolina students at tbe Southern
Baptist Theological Seminary. Two-sevenths of the contributions
from our churches for Ministerial Education were to be sent to
Louisville for the Students' Fund. In accordance with this order,
the secretary has sent to Mr. B. Pressly Smith, the treasurer of the
Students' Fund, $1,374.06. The treasurer of the Students' Fund
estimates that he will need during the present session $2,269 to
meet his promise to our North Carolina men. It will be seen that
the Seminary will need nearly $1,000 more during the coming year
than we have sent to them during the past year. And this says
nothing about the deficit in the payment of pledges made by North
Carolina men prior to the beginning of our present arrangement.
All that has been said so far has had reference to the external
relations of the Board. If we look at the internal workings of the
Board during the past fourteen years we think there will appear a
correspondingly important development. For example: (1) No one
can receive aid now who has more than one Sunday of regular
church work; (2) any man who marries while receiving aid from
the Board thereby disqualifies himself for receiving further help;
(3) closer attention has been given to the matter of having money
refunded by men who have abandoned the work of the ministry;
(4) all ministers who receive free tuition are required to stand
the special examination held each year by the Board, thus bringing
all our ministerial students into close touch with the work of the
Board; (5) the spiritual life of our young ministers at Wake Forest
was perhaps never of a deeper and more wholesome character than
it is today. For all these things we thank God and take courage.
FINANCIAL.
Our financial showing for the past year is as follows:
Balance on hand from last year $1,394.60
Receipts during the past year 5,468.27
Total $6,862.87
Paid out as per vouchers 1-241 6,496.75
Balance on hand $366.12
It will be seen that our balance at this time is about one thousand
dollars less than it was one year ago, whereas the number of men
looking to us for help is considerably larger. All business men
22 N. 0. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
know that it is not easy now to borrow money, and if it were easy
it is not desh-able to do the Master's business in that way. What
are we to do then? Clearly one of two things must be done: (1)
Either we must increase our income or (2) cut down the number
of beneficiaries. Which shall it be? We believe there are one
hundred churches in North Carolina that could each carry a man
through a year and not feel it, though money matters are close
among us. We hope as many churches as possible will make a
liberal offering to this work during the month of January; and we
would urge all our Sunday Schools to make an offering to the Board
during the first month of the new year.
THE FUTURE.
We are anticipating that the phrase "Board of Education" will
perhaps have a different significance among North Carolina Bap-
tists in the future from what it has had in the past. Hitherto it
has had reference to a group of men located at Wake Forest who
have had charge of the special work of training our young minis-
ters. If the plans set on foot at our last Convention should ma-
terialize, the phrase will probably henceforth refer to a group of
men who shall have the general oversight of all our educational
work. Just what disposition will be made of that section of our
work which has to do with the education of our ministers is one
of the important questions that must engage the attention of this
new board at the outset of its work. While the whole question is
before us and readjustments are being made it may not be out of
place for our Board to express the conviction that as a denomina-
tion we are in no position to lay less stress on the necessity for
the best training as well as for the highest character in the men
who are to lead our churches on to larger and richer things in the
work of the kingdom of God. On the contrary when we hear on
every side the emphasis that is being laid on enlightenment, en-
largement and enlistment we feel disposed to ask ourselves who is
God's officer for inaugurating and perfecting these great move-
ments in the churches? Is it not the pastor of the church? Secre-
taries and general workers may and do help greatly at this point,
but we must never get away from the fact that the pastor is the
God-ordained man for this special work. Nor must we ever allow
ourselves to forget that the burden of Jesus' work in inaugurating
the kingdom was to train a small group of men who should carry
forward this work when He had left them. Can we improve on
Jesus' plan? In view of all this we would recommend two or three
things:
1. That the foundations laid by Meredith, Brooks, Walters, Win-
gate, the Purefoys, Gwaltney, Mitchell, the Royalls, Taylor, Carlyle
and others be built on with care until their sacrifices shall be re-
warded and their visions realized.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 23
2. That in the work of seeking to enlist our non-cooperative
church members we keep in mind the fact that the pastor is the
key-man, and that much of this work be directed toward the im-
portant task of giving vision, intelligent grasp, training in the best
methods, etc., to the pastors of our churches, who so much need and
who will so much appreciate these things. A revival in a modified
form of what we had at Wake Forest a few years ago as a Pastors'
Course might help at this point.
3. That the Board of Education (whatever that term may mean
in the future) be asked to consider the advisability of inaugurating
a course of study for the pastors of our churches on some general
line corresponding to that now being so well conducted for and
with our Sunday School workers.
A WORD PERSONAL.
In closing this report, which will probably be a transitional one,
the Secretary begs the privilege of saying a few personal words to
the Convention, and through the Convention to the pastors and
churches of North Carolina:
1. He would record his deep gratitude to God and to God's people
that during these fourteen years no minister has been deprived of
the help of the Board of Education except for reasons other than
financial.
2,. He would call attention to the fact that the care and the work
of this Board are at least four times what they were in 1901.
3. He would mention that his work in his Bible classes in college
has grown in quantity and in scope until it is in itself enough for
any one man's job.
4. In view of these things he would express the earnest wish that,
whatever disposition may be made of the general question of our
educational interests, he be relieved at least from the responsibility
of raising the money for the prosecution of this work.
Respectfully submitted, W. R. Ctjllom,
Corresponding Secretary.
G. E. Lineberry read the following report on Secondary
Schools :
REPORT ON SECONDARY SCHOOLS.
"We deem it unnecessary to name the schools in our correlated
system as they are all properly enrolled in another place in our
Minutes, and the number is the same as reported last year. We
cannot give a full comparative report showing enrollment, value of
property, etc., this year. We regret this very much but in response
to a request sent to fill out blanks, as on former occasions, we re-
ceived reports from only five institutions, as follows: Dell School,
24 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
Fruitland Institute, Mars Hill, Round Hill Academy, and Winter-
ville High School. These report fine progress for the year.
In addition to the general office work and aiding in collecting
Meredith Endowment Fund the Secretary aided in a special cam-
paign in the Green River Association in March to relieve the in-
debtedness on Round Hill Academy. Nearly all of the previous in-
debtedness was arranged for, new interest aroused for the work, and
since that they have built a large and commodious dormitory for
boys. In May, in connection with Bro. W. R. Bradshaw, Assistant
State Mission Secretary, a twenty days' campaign was conducted in
Wilkes County in the interest of Mountain View School. In this
campaign notes were taken for about twenty-five hundred dollars
to aid in putting up an administration building. About two thou-
sand had already been subscribed before this, and notes were se-
cured for several of these subscriptions also.
Owing to the resignation of the Secretary to accept the presi-
dency of Chowan College, we have had no one in the field for this
work for some time. And as the last Baptist State Convention de-
cided to ask the churches to put this work on their budgets and
has a committee appointed which is soon to report a plan for put-
ting this work into operation, we have not deemed it wise to elect
another secretary.
Six years ago a resolution looking to the establishment of this
work passed the Baptist State Convention and for a little over five
years we have had a secretary for this work. During this time
about $60,000 has been raised to pay on indebtedness of our second-
ary schools and in new buildings and equipment. The schools have
greatly strengthened their courses of study and developed their
courses of Christian instruction, but, perhaps, the greatest help
that has come to us from this organized work has been the interest
and life which has been kindled in our denominational institutions.
We are glad to turn over our work with these schools to the new
Board, which is to be elected by this Convention, and bid them God-
speed in developing and fostering these institutions, which mean
so much in the training of the youths in the State, and sending
them forth equipped for the highest service.
Respectfully submitted, G. E. Lineberry,

The following resolution in reference to Oxford College
was offered by B. W. Spilman and adopted:
OXFORD COLLEGE.
This College, founded in 1850 in response to a demand on the part
of Baptists especially for a school in the central part of the State
for the higher education of their daughters, has had a useful and
MINUTES OF SESSION 19U. 25
honorable career. It has maintained a high standard of scholarship
and high ideals of efficiency. While it has always insisted upon
high standards of scholarship, it has laid stress upon the develop-
ment of character.
Its equipment is modern and ample. It has buildings that are
unique in their plans; only two stories high, all the work-rooms
of every kind, class, music, studio, laboratory, etc., being on the
first floor and all the dormitories on the second. These buildings
have modern conveniences; electric lights, complete water system
and hot air furnaces. The scientific apparatus for chemistry,
physics and zoology is full. In its appointment the Music Depart-
ment is a model.
It confers two degrees, A.B. and B.S., and requires ten standard
units for admission to the Freshman Class; this requirement being
one year lower than that at Wake Forest.
It seeks to relate education to the practical needs of girls. In
addition to its literary course it offers courses in music, art, busi-
ness, pedagogy and home economics, including both domestic science
and domestic art.
Its teachers have been secured from the standard colleges and uni-
versities of this country and of Europe.
It uses every means to develop the spiritual life of its pupils. It
requires four years of Bible study with two lessons per week. It
fosters the plans and purposes of the Y. W. C. A., and also works
in harmony with Baptist organizations, the State Convention and
the Southern Baptist Convention.
It grows yearly in patronage and efficiency and it is absolutely
loyal to Baptist principles.
In view of its past honorable record and of its present efficiency,
Resolved, That this Convention extends its congratulations and
hearty good wishes to the College and to its president, who for
thirty-five years has been at its head.
W. L. Poteat read the following report of the Committee
on Educational Agency, and, on motion, the discussion was
postponed to the afternoon session :
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON PLAN OF PLACING CHRISTIAN
EDUCATION ON THE BUDGET OF THE CHURCHES.
The committee appointed at your last session to propose a plan
for making effective the Convention's endorsement of the principle
of placing Christian education on the budget of the churches begs
to submit the following recommendations:
1. That the Convention elect a Board of Education consisting of
the presidents of Wake Forest, Meredith and Chowan colleges, to-
26 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
gether with fifteen other members, five of whom shall be elected for
a term of one year, five for a term of two years, five for a term of
three years, and the successors of each group for a term of three
years. These fifteen members may be officially connected with insti-
tutions in the Convention system of schools, provided that of these
fifteen members no institution have more than one representative on
the Board.
2. That the existing Board of Education assisting young ministers
and the Baptist Secondary School Board be discontinued, and all the
educational interests fostered by the Convention, including Minis-
terial Education, be committed to the proposed Board of Education.
3. That the proposed Board of Education be authorized to stand-
ardize and to admit the schools of the Convention system of schools,
but in administrative matters stand in only an advisory relation to
the trustees of the institutions of the system.
4. That it be made the duty of the proposed Board of Education to
request regular contributions for Christian education from the
churches of the Convention, to collect all funds for the equipment
and maintenance of Baptist institutions in North Carolina and for
the assistance of young ministers, to disburse undesignated funds
according to its judgment, and to apply designated funds according
to the wishes of contributors.
5. That the proposed Board of Education be authorized to secure
its own Corresponding Secretary, fix his salary, and pay it out of
funds in its control not otherwise designated.
6. That all reports of the colleges and schools of the Convention
system be made annually to the Convention through the proposed
Board of Education.
7. That the proposed Board of Education be located in Durham.

was changed to read : "The primary objects of the Conven-
tion shall In) to support Christian education in the institu-

tions fostered by the Convention." Another clause was added
to this section — "to promote all the agencies of social better-
ment." Section 11 was changed to read: "The Board of
Education shall foster and promote all the educational inter-
ests of the Convention."
The following report on the Wake Forest church was read
by C. E. Maddry :
Your committee has been two years trying to discharge the re-
sponsibility in the erection of a house of worship at Wake Forest
College placed upon it at Goldsboro by this Convention. The work
en this building is almost done. It would have been complete but
for the delay of some material. But enough has been done that
the Convention can see what it is to be. It is in some respects the
most impressive church building in the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion. It is a blending of plainness and beauty, of convenience and
economy, of simplicity and dignity, of compactness and commo-
diousness, of cheapness and durability. Many a building costing
$90,000 to $100,000 does not have the beauty or convenience or size
of this structure. This house sets a pace in Baptist architecture
in North Carolina for years to come. It means a new day for the
religious life of Wake Forest.
The following is a summary of receipts to date:
From Wake Forest, cash $8,007.16
From Baptist State Convention, cash 12,106.50
From outside the Convention 134.00
Total receipts - $20,247.66
Labor and material on the building have so far cost $47,515.34,
and it will require $3,900 at least to finish it, making the total cost
of the building, at the very least, $51,415.34.
So far we have received from the Convention $12,106.50; deduct-
ing from this amount $756.45 for interest on borrowed money and
$698.13 for expense of collection, there is left $10,651.92 net to the
credit of the Convention. The Convention was to raise $25,000 for
this house; so we are still behind what we agreed to do to the
extent of $14,349; of this amount $14,117 is money borrowed on the
credit of the Convention.
It is urgent that this money be raised at once. Most of it is
due right now. If this matter is allowed to get cold in the minds
of our people it will become a tedious task to raise it and a long
standing debt, even on this building that appeals so deeply to us
today, will become a denominational sore. Besides this, we need
28 N. G. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
to get our track clear so that we can go on with the erection of
church buildings in other educational centers of the State.
Your committee therefore recommends:
1. That the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina ask the
Home Mission Board to donate $5,000 to this church out of its
Church Building Fund.
2. That the Baptist State Convention proceed immediately to
raise $18,000 of the $27,622 still due on this house, leaving the
balance of something over $9,500 to be paid by Wake Forest; thus
the Convention paying in all $28,650 and Wake Forest $17,500. This
will preserve the ratio set by the Goldsboro Convention: $15,000
from the Wake Forest church and $25,000 by the Baptist State Con-
vention.
3. That we inaugurate at once a campaign to raise in the Con-
vention $10,000 in sixty days, taking a collection in this session of
the Convention in cash and in pledges by churches and individuals.
4. That a committee be appointed to have charge of this important
matter until this whole amount — $2S,650 — is raised from the Con-
vention and disbursed properly.
5. That the committee in charge of this business be instructed
to make such arrangements for the liquidation of this obligation
of the Convention as will relieve the pastor of the Wake Forest
church from the necessity of doing any more field work in the in-
terest of this church building.

After a discussion of the report by C. E. Maddry and W.
1ST. Johnson, J. A. Campbell undertook to secure from the
Convention $10,000 in cash and subscriptions to be paid
within the next sixty days; $7,832.50 was raised, after
which the report was adopted. The following committee
was appointed to continue to raise funds to liquidate the debt
on the Wake Forest church house: C. E. Maddry, C. H.
Durham, A. Johnson, C. W. Mitchell, and W. jST. Jones.

MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 29
WEDNESDAY — Afternoon Session.
After a short devotional meeting;, in which "Stand Up for
Jesus" and "I Am Thine, O Lord" were sung, and K. H.
Marsh led a prayer, J. D. Moore read the following report
on Ministerial Education:
MINISTERIAL EDUCATION.
Whose duty is it to educate the preachers? Should they who are
in need he forced to educate themselves unaided or, failing to do
so, forfeit an education altogether? Some are positively affirmative.
They say that charity begets a spirit of dependence in the bene-
ficiary; that help thwarts the development of a hardihood and self-
reliance on the part of recipients; all of which is true of common
mendicants who are satisfied to live in squalor, but it is basely
false in the case of young men of promise who, not begging them-
selves, on their journey to a high destination will gratefully re-
ceive a pittance, a morsel or a girdle from the hands of voluntary
help, with which they may gather themselves together for a higher
climb.
They tell us, furthermore, that preachers are as able as others
to get an education without help. The fact is, some of them are
more so. But they are men of exceptional initiative and courage.
There is an illustrious example among Southern Baptist preachers
in which the man, with his own hands, built the house in which
he first attended school and paid the salary of his teacher himself.
All that would be strictly necessary in the case of such a young
man would be to sell him an ax and turn him loose in his own
woods! But a man like that is going to become the pastor of a
First Baptist church somewhere. How about the men of moderate
capacity who are to occupy the smaller, though none the less im-
portant posts — men who cannot soar but who can drudge, who
have not the brilliancy to scintillate but have the power to serve?
They are men of modest, retiring natures who reflect somewhat the
meekness of their religion and who were, in truth, thrust forth
into the harvest as laborers but without the sickle in hand and
dependent upon others to furnish them one. Some of our best have
gone into the ministry who did not mean to do it! The men who
occupy those places which are closest to the ranks must be looked
to for information and data concerning the coming of the kingdom.
They, who are the many, rather than their more gifted brethren,
the few, will largely determine the state of our Southern Zion.
It is the duty of the churches, therefore, to make it possible for
the preachers to get an education. Preachers are the servants of
the churches. To train them for that service is a business propo-
30 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
sition for the churches. It is a business proposition, also, with a
deficit involved in almost every case. It is at a loss, so far as the
income from students is concerned, that Christian education is fur-
nished to any. Why should a continuous expense or current sup-
port become a stumbling block when it is considered in relation
to the education of preachers from whose training the churches are
to derive more direct benefits than from the Christian education of
any other class of their members?
It is the poor boy, usually, who is called to preach. The well-to-
do more often choose the more lucrative callings, and, in prepara-
tion for them, they not only have resources ready to hand on which
to draw, but they have also those prospects ahead which constitute
good collateral. But the ministerial students, the "sky pilots" or the
"skys" of college parlance, ordinarily have neither a strong pecu-
niary backing nor a promising financial future; the means at their
command are not enough for their needs, and their calling is not
sufficiently remunerative as to become an asset negotiable for pur-
poses of training.
Is it right, are we just, to expect tbat young preachers in pre-
paring themselves for the greatest service to the churches, should
burden themselves with obligations which afterwards oftentimes
crush their spirits within them? Because of financial embarrass-
ment from this cause some have suffered the drain of nervous and
mental energy which otherwise would have been spent for kingdom
purposes.
The obligation to educate the ministers, therefore, rests upon the
churches. They must provide the institutions and the means by
which it may be done. On the other hand, our schools and colleges
owe it to the churches to see to it that the money furnished them
for the education of their preachers actually accomplishes that end.
An interdenominational agency cannot train denominational forces
properly. The college Y. M. C. A. cannot serve the best interests
of Baptist churches in training young preachers any better than
the International Association can do our Sunday School work for
us. It is training in practical things around which the enthusiasm
of a student body revolves, not the theories of science or religion.
And it is this that determines with what measure of usefulness to
the churches our schools shall equip our boys and girls at large.
There is a mutual obligation between the churches and the
schools to educate the preachers. Let the churches supply suitable
men and enough money. Let the schools furnish a proper denomi-
national culture and efficiency.
We recommend:
1. The continuance of the present method of cooperation between
our State Board of Christian Education and the Southern Baptist
Theological Seminary.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 31
2. We wish to endorse the suggestions contained in Dr. Cullom's
report of the Board of Education which contemplate a more gen-
eral training among the active as well as prospective pastors.
3. We recommend, furthermore, that the funds raised for min-
isterial education become available also for the education of medical
missionaries, on the same basis as that upon which pastors or
evangelists receive aid. J- D. Moore.

port:
FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The entire world needs the gospel of Jesus Christ. The spirit
of missions is the spirit of Christ. No missionary program is com-
plete until it includes the whole world. However, Southern Bap-
tists have extended their operations only into the following coun-
tries:
THE FIELDS.
1. Papal — Argentina, Brazil, Italy, and Mexico.
2. Pagan — Africa, China, and Japan.
In the Papal countries there are many millions of people who
have had the gospel given to them only partially. We should give
them the gospel in its entirety.
Among the pagan nations there are many more millions of people
who have never had the gospel presented to them at all. Our pro-
gram should seek to save and evangelize these great multitudes.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 33
THE FORCES.
According to reports made before the last session of the Southern
Baptist Convention, there are 278 missionaries employed by Southern
Baptists to prosecute this great work. This number does not in-
clude the 635 native helpers. We now have on foreign fields 380
churches; 339 schools with 9,376 students, including 420 students
in theological seminaries and training schools; 12 medical mis-
sionaries, with 8 hospitals and 13 dispensaries, having a total record
of in-patients and out-patients amounting to 74,829. The vastness
of the task and the inadequacy of the force employed will at once
appeal to every thinking Christian.
THE FINANCES.
The contributions of Southern Baptists for 1913-14 amounted to
$587 457 97, an advance over the previous year of $44,000. There
was 'reported, however, a debt of about $68,000. Our North Carolina
Baptists gave last year $56,318.50, an increase over the previous year
of more than $3,800. The Foreign Mission Board has asked North
Carolina Baptists this convention year to give $60,000. We can give
this amount if we have a will to do it.
THE FRUITS.
During the year there have been advancements made along all
lines despite the unsettled state of affairs in Europe and in Mexico,
occasioned by bloody wars. The greatest advancement has been
made in China and in Brazil. The total number of baptisms on
foreign fields for the year reported by our missionaries amounts to
5 252 This is the largest number ever before reported in one year.
The largest number of baptisms reported from any one mission
is that of 1,831, in the North China mission. Even Mexico reports
an increased number of baptisms over the previous year. God is
graciously blessing the feeble efforts we are putting forth to save
these nations. The greater part of the world now seems ready to
welcome the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. They will receive it
if we will give it to them.
THE FORECAST.
All our mission fields present a most hopeful outlook. Especially
is this true of China and Brazil. Now is our opportunity in China.
Our civilization appeals to the Chinese mind, and with our civiliza-
tion it is our great privilege to give them that which has made our
civilization— our Christian religion. Both Brazil and Mexico, to the
south of us, offer us another great opportunity. The fields in the
former are ripe already unto the harvest. In the latter country the
people are groping after political and religious freedom, and when
they get the truth "the truth shall make them free indeed."
The trend of thought the world over seems to be toward pure

democracy. While attaining this ideal in government the nations
will break away from ecclesiastical bondage, and in the entire gospel
of Jesus Christ will they find their ideal in religion. It is our
privilege, to say nothing of our duty, to have a part in working out
this desired end. Bruce Bexton.
T. W. O'Kelley, the appointee to speak on the report,
yielded his time to J. F. Love, Home Secretary of the For-
eign Mission Board, Richmond, Va., who spoke. D. W. Her-
ring, a returned missionary from China and a native of this
State, and R. M. Logan, another of our Board's missionaries
in the Argentine Republic, spoke of the work in their fields.
M. L. Kesler read the following report of the Board of
Trustees of the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage :
REPORT OF TRUSTEES OF THOMASVILLE BAPTIST
ORPHANAGE.
Our orphanage life flows on in one unbroken stream. We have
our annual meetings but no vacations. The work may change its
form, yet it moves ceaselessly on. In a great work all years are
good, although they may pass with uneven step. The year just
closing has joined the others and added its chapter to orphanage his-
tory. We rejoice to report no death and very little serious sickness.
It has been a year of hard and steady toil. The progress of the
school work has been good. The ideal has not been reached but
we are struggling up. From time to time improvements have been
made; this year a tenth grade has been added. In our work we
cannot draw sharp lines between what are ordinarily called the
educational and industrial features, for each reaches out into the
other. For the same reason we cannot separate the training work
of the institution from the work of the church and Sunday School.
They come out together in the final account. It has been a year of
enlargement. The Kennedy Memorial Home has been opened. The
first children were received there June 5th. The home was opened
formally September 15th. There are fifty-three children there at
present. The Miles Durham nursery is ready to receive twenty-five
more. This will be an increase of seventy-five in one year. We have
present now 470, making the number enrolled from the beginning
1,558. The mere statement of this increased number of mouths to
feed, bodies to clothe and souls to train, constitutes our definite and
enlarged appeal. Our contributions must be increased to cover not
only the support of this additional number, but the furnishings for
the new buildings also. The last summer's drought cost us heavily.
Much feed and canned vegetables that are usually made on the
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 35
farm must be bought by money coming into the treasury. Our
present indebtedness amounts to $15,000 in round numbers. The
Thanksgiving offering is coming in hopefully, $7,000 last week, but
will not meet our urgent needs. Our annual effort for a large
Thanksgiving offering must continue to be emphasized. It is the
one single offering from the churches, as such, asked for during the
whole year. Thanksgiving and the one orphanage collection, "One
day for the Orphanage," have come to mean the same thing to us.
We could wish that the State Mission campaign might begin earlier
and end earlier that there could not be even the appearance of a
conflict. Both must reap at the harvest time of the year.
We are pleased to report splendid gifts of apples and other pro-
duce from our friends in the western end of the State. Many
chickens and boxes of dry goods came in with the Thanksgiving
offering.
CHARITY AND CHILDREN.
This organ of the institution is a most telling influence in bring-
ing our needs and our aims before the people. The circulation has
about reached the 18,000 mark. The war panic has caused the
paper to suffer in its advertising department. The job work is
holding up remarkably well. Our purpose is to work up a large
mail order business. It is hoped that the friends of the Orphanage
everywhere will give it a chance to do their work.
IMPROVEMENTS.
The improvements of the year should be noted. A model dairy
barn has been built. The two dormitories at the Kennedy Home
have been completed. A sewerage system has been installed at that
place. Also a strip of forty acres of land, separating the grounds
from the public highway, has been bought, thus forever protecting
our front.
The Miles Durham Nursery at Thomasville has been completed.
Three new schoolrooms have been added to the central school
building and all the old rooms improved and rearranged. The Dr.
S. W. Little Memorial church, or auditorium, is under roof, and
will be pushed to completion as rapidly as possible. A steam heat-
ing plant has been installed for the school building and the audi-
torium. At last we have suitable schoolrooms.
In all our history we have never had an assembly room in which
the children could hear and be comfortably seated. Children and
workers alike are looking forward to sitting together in heavenly
places when the house is completed. In no other institution is the
inspirational need quite so great as here. We have suffered untold
loss for lack of a suitable place for worship, song and mutual in-
spiration.
36 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
SOME CHANGES IN OUR WORKERS.
Bro. Hartwell Scarborough has resigned his work at the Kennedy
Home. A hurt received when a boy has given him trouble for the
last few months. This led him to feel that it would be best to give
up the work. His stay has been short and yet it covers a very im-
portant and difficult period. A beginning has been made. He has
done excellent work in setting the pace to the religious life of the
institution there.
The Sunday School organized has also enlisted a number of young
people who did not attend any Sunday School. Mr. Scarborough
has shown himself a high type of the unselfish Christian gentleman,
and goes with the highest esteem of his associates in the Home.
Rev. G. L. Merrell has been selected to superintend the Home proper.
We have decided to take charge of the farm next year, and Mr.
Herman Sutton, of Kinston, will take charge of it. Brother Merrill
is well known as one of our most substantial missionary pastors.
He is known as a builder of churches on hard fields. He comes
to us with experience that should fit him for this work. He and
Mrs. Merrill will occupy the Lenoir County building for boys, and
Mrs. Merrill will be matron of that cottage. Mr. Sutton, although
comparatively a young man, has succeeded in farming. He will live
at the Kennedy Home. As has been .announced before, Brother
Averitt is leaving us to take up large farming operations in Wake
County. He has served us as treasurer and farmer for fifteen years.
To give any sort of estimate of his work would be to write an im-
portant chapter in the history of the Orphanage. As farmer, treas-
urer, Sunday School superintendent, as a manager of boys and as
representative of the Orphanage he has filled a large place in the
life of the institution. The board cannot adequately express its ap-
preciation of his long and splendid service.
Mr. Fuller B. Hamrick has been elected treasurer. This will not
seriously interfere with his work as field agent.
Mr. C. H. Baugh, of Wake County, will take Mr. Averitt's place
as farmer only. Mr. Baugh has had successful experience on a
private farm and also at the State Hospital at Raleigh.
THE LARGER ORPHANAGE.
We have enlarged our work and still the task looms before us as
just begun. We urge upon North Carolina Baptists that they re-
gard the Orphanage in larger terms, as an opportunity unparalleled.
This waiting door stands too wide for "same as last year" contribu-
tions to ever again satisfy any working body of Baptists.
We need large bequests but we also need large givers now while
they live. Larger gifts and more buildings are needed, but the big
thing, by the side of which these are trifling incidentals, is the sal-
vation of helpless boys and girls to a larger life of service.
But in this large view of the Orphanage it must not become the
MINUTES OF SESSION 19U. 37
only outlet for social service. In our day also "the widows are neg-
lected in the daily ministration." A worthy widow in good health
can care for her children at less cost than any institution can. A
few dollars a month will enable her to hold her little family to-
gether, thus leaving the room for others without such a mother.
Also' we would call attention to the fact that there is no provision
for helping worthy and ambitious orphans to higher schools after
they leave the institution. This ought to appeal to individuals who
have large means. All may not go on to higher institutions, but we
must have a care to the finished product.
M. L. Kesler and C. B. Waller discussed the report, after
which the Convention adjourned.
J. J. Hurt pronounced the benediction.
THURSDAY — Morning Session.
After singing "Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing" and
prayer by J. S. Corpening, of Ridgeway, S. 0., the Minutes
of the preceding meetings were read and approved.
The following report of the Board of Missions and Sun-
day Schools was presented by the Corresponding Secretary,
Livingston Johnson:
REPORT OF BOARD OF MISSIONS AND SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
We are able, by the blessings of God, to submit the best report,
in some respects, that we have ever presented to the Convention.
Our great denomination was never in better condition for aggres-
sive work than it is today. Our forces are well organized and not
a discordant note can be heard from one side of the State to the
other. Our people maintain an unshaken faith in God and His
word. From our pulpits the redemptive note sounds out strong
and clear, and a distinct emphasis is being placed upon the great
doctrines of grace. Gracious revivals have been held and a large
number of baptisms reported.
The year has not been without its trials and difficulties, but
through them all the guiding hand of God has graciously led us.
OUR DEAD.
It is with peculiar sadness that the Board makes note of the
death of Brother N. B. Broughton. For many years Brother Brough-
38 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
ton was a member of the Board of Missions and Sunday Schools,
and for several years its president. He was Recording Secretary
of the Convention for more than thirty years, and served the de-
nomination with faithfulness and ability in many other responsible
positions. He was a charter member of the Board of Trustees of
Meredith College, and was also a useful member of the Board of
Trustees of Wake Forest College. When a Sunday School com-
mittee, consisting of seven members of the Mission Board, was
authorized by the Convention, he was appointed a member of the
committee and elected as its first chairman, which position he held
until the time of his death.
Brother Broughton was a regular attendant upon the Convention,
and he who in the coming years reads the Convention's history
will find the name of N. B. Broughton occupying a conspicuous
place. We shall miss him sadly in our denominational councils,
and we shall ever cherish his memory.
Three of our missionaries, Rev. C. M. Ervin, of Hickory; Rev.
J. L. Bennett, of the Union Association, and Rev. G. W. Coppedge,
of the Tar River Association, have been called to their rewards.
It is rather remarkable that they all died suddenly. Brother Ben-
nett fell dead while conducting a funeral; Brother Ervin, while
going to an appointment, was thrown from a buggy and instantly
killed; and Brother Coppedge was stricken with paralysis and died
while attending the session of his association. They all died away
from home, while about the Father's business. They were faith-
ful servants of God, and were called fresh from their labors to
eternal rest.
STATE MISSIONS.
The reports from the mission fields are the best ever submitted.
There were 161 missionaries last year, who labored in 41 associa-
tions. The figures this year, when compared with those of last,
show the following increase: Baptisms 332, and by letter 327.
Five more churches were being built and nine more completed this
year than last. There was the following increase in contributions:
Pastors' salary, $2,932.84; church building, $2,925.07; benevolent
objects, $3,402.65; total, $9,260.56. The following summary gives

WORK IN THE WEST.
The following report of Brother W. R. Bradshaw tells of the
progress being made in the western section of the State:
Report of W. R. Bradshaw.
Western North Carolina is one of our most prosperous sections.
Its agricultural possibilities are beginning to be appreciated. The
soil is fertile and the farmers are learning how to get the most out
of it. Apple culture is carried on very extensively. Cattle raising
is very remunerative.
The completion of the Alleghany and Elkin, the Grandin and
Watauga and the Virginia-Carolina railroads will be the means of
making easily accessible some of the richest territory in the west.
Supplementary to the railroads, splendid highways are being built
in nearly every county.
The people as a rule have good houses in which to live; they are
educating their children and keeping informed as to the movements
going on in the world.
Materially the west is making wonderful advancement, but the
RELIGIOUS LIFE
of this section is not keeping pace with this material development.
There are many country churches, and some in the towns, easily
able to give largely to the benevolent objects of the Convention
that are doing but little more than they did ten years ago. There
are whole associations where only a few of the churches are given
a public opportunity to contribute to these objects. There are
40 N. G. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
churches able to have preaching at least twice a month that con-
tent themselves with a service once a month. While some of the
churches are awake to their opportunities and privileges, many
of them are not. These when awakened will become a mighty
host in our Baptist ranks.
GROUPING CHURCHES.
Again, I want to call attention to the great need of grouping
churches into fields and settling pastors among them. The one
thing needed above everything else is for the churches to group
themselves into a field so they can pay their pastor a salary suffi-
cient to enable him to do pastoral work. And until this is done
our churches here will never accomplish what they are capable
of doing. A few fields have been formed, but by means of the
annual call the dissatisfied have been enabled to break up most
of them. Fields formed succeed or fail, according to the spirit of
cooperation existing, and when the spirit of cooperation is con-
spicuous by its absence there is not much hope of a permanent
field. Yet pastoral support is our need and we believe the day
will soon come when all our people will see it and provide for it.
Below I submit the visible results of my year's work for 1914.
MEETINGS.
We had very little time to give to this work. There were eight
meetings held and two hundred and thirty-two professions and
one hundred and forty-seven additions, an average of twenty-seven
professions and eighteen additions for each meeting.
There seems to be a revival spirit among many of our churches.
The hearts of the people appear to be burdened with the souls of
men. Some of the missionaries have had good meetings on their
fields, and many of the pastors have spoken of the splendid meet-
ings held in their churches. This is indeed gratifying.
INSTITUTES.
A large part of our time has been given to this much needed
work. Tt>ere were sixty-four institutes held in eleven counties and
fourteen associations. In these institutes we try to learn the real
problems of the pastors and make suggestions and give whatever
information we can about the best methods of work, and reach
the mind, heart and sympathy of the unenlisted.
The eagerness with which some of the pastors and people are
seeking information about the best plans of doing their work is
one of the most encouraging features of our work in the west.
ASSOCIATIONS.
Three months have been given to this work. With very few ex-
ceptions the associations have been better this year than we have
ever known them. There have been large crowds of earnest men
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 41
and women in attendance. The reports have been informing the
speeches of the local brethren good. There was a disposition to
emphasize all the objects of the Convention. Time was when some
of these had a "poor show." Now it is the desire, whether they
can do so or not, to give each object due consideration. This is
very hopeful.
MISCELLANEOUS.
Assisted in the organization of four churches; helped to raise
three thousand dollars to build new church houses; twenty-five
hundred dollars for the Mt. View school located in Wilkes County;
delivered 295 addresses and sermons; wrote some 400 letters and
traveled hundreds of miles. We rejoice that in many respects this
has been a splendid year for our work in the west.
Respectfully submitted, w. R. Bradshaw.
COOPERATION AND ENLISTMENT.
Two years ago we began the work of enlistment in cooperation
with the Home Mission Board. Rev. C. A. Upchurch was employed
as Enlistment Field Worker. As this was a field of activity into
which the Board had not previously entered, it was necessary to
blaze out the way. It was difficult, at first, to secure appointments
for Brother Upchurch as the pastors did not understand the nature
of his work. For the past several months, however, it has been
impossible for him to accept half the invitations extended by pas-
tors to visit their fields. Our denominational waste is our weakest
point. At least one-third, probably more, of our people are unen-
hsted. Many of those who do contribute give pitiably small
amounts. We believe that the supreme work before us now so far
as our finances are concerned, is that of enlisting our forces in
order to save the fearful waste that we have suffered through the
years and are suffering today.
This is the task we are undertaking in cooperation with the
Home Mission Board, and the following report gives a brief state-
ment of some of the results:
Report of C. A. Upchurch.
The report on cooperation and enlistment submitted one year
ago dealt with the duties and activities of an Enlistment Field
Worker and explained in a detailed manner the "why and how"
of enlistment work. This report will, therefore, deal directly with
the past years work, and will be mainly an effort, so far as figures
can give it, to tell the amount of work done, the scope of the
work and some of the things accomplished.

planting of crops and cut those planted very short. The general
depression covering the entire State made it extremely hard to
introduce any forward-looking plans among the churches. For
these reasons the work this year has been extremely difficult and
the hindrances more than would be expected in an average year.
The year has been crowded with golden opportunities for real
aggressive organization and development work. Our churches, large
and small, seem to be hungry for the gospel of efficiency, and are
anxious to hear any discussion or to adopt any reasonable plan
that has as its aim the better organization of the churches and the
securing of the personal and financial cooperation of all their
members.
During the past twelve months I have worked with 127 churches,
made 212 enlistment addresses; preached 21 sermons; made 11
missionary addresses at Associations, Union Meetings, W. M. U.
gatherings, etc.; have assisted in 5 associational campaigns; have
attended 4 Associations; have participated in 19 Mission Confer-
ences in 14 Associations; have attended the Southern Baptist Con-
vention and the State Convention. I have organized 10 pastorates
or fields during the year; have started 2 Mission Study Classes;
have secured land for 3 pastoriums; have organized 11 laymen's
teams. During the year I have traveled by rail 14,935 miles; by
automobile and buggy about the same number of miles. I have
written 263 letters about enlistment work; have conducted 17 every
member canvasses and have introduced the Duplex Envelope Sys-
tem at 23 churches; have distributed 11,950 tracts; have secured
in subscriptions on pastors' salaries and missions the sum of
$12,350; have collected in cash for missionary objects $512.30; have
secured 46 subscriptions for the Home Field, 22 for the Foreign
Mission Journal and 27 for the Biblical Recorder.
The ten fields or pastorates which have been begun are going
to serve in the next few years as fine demonstrations of the possi-
bilities of enlistment work.
The ideal plan for conducting this sort of work is for the Field
Worker to go into an Association and do everything he possibly
can to work out the enlistment idea in that Association. Arrange-
ments have already been made by one Association to use the Field
Worker's time for two or three months, beginning the first of Janu-
ary, and tentative plans have been made with two other Associa-
tions for work along this line later on.
It is a source of real gratification that we can concentrate our
efforts and reduce the loss of time and additional expense attendant
upon having to skip from one side of the State to the other. We
feel that more and more as our churches and pastors understand
this work we are going to be able to make the effort, the time and
the money expended count for the most.
The future is full of bright promise for this work. Already
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 43
enough applications have come for work to be done in 1915 to last
a man two years. The improved plans of our department, the com-
pact fields we form, the pastoriums we secure and erect, the in-
creased interest we arouse will all serve to help our folks to
realize their possibilities, to find their places in the kingdom and,
above all, to learn that not only a faithful few but all of us are
workers together with God in the highest and holiest business in
which men were ever called to engage.

BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION.
Rev. Theo. B. Davis having resigned as Secretary of the Baptist
Young People's Union just before the meeting of the last Conven-
tion, the Board of Missions and Sunday Schools was instructed to
secure the services of a suitable man for the position. Rev. J. D.
Moore was elected with the understanding that he should give half
his time to the B. Y. P. U. work, the other half being devoted to
the Southern Baptist Assembly Association at Ridgecrest, N. C.
Brother Moore's report shows that he has done some constructive
work and is building wisely upon the foundation laid by Brother
Davis.
Report of J. D. Moore.
I desire to acknowledge my indebtedness to my predecessor, Rev.
Theo. B. Davis, whose constructive work is much in evidence in the
present exhibit of achievements.
According to the plan which was perfected between the Execu-
tive Committee of the Southern Baptist Assembly and the B. Y.
P. U. Committee of the State Mission Board, the State B. Y. P. U.
Secretary has given his time to these two interests as equally as
possible since the first day of March last. The two phases of work
blend very harmoniously; in fact, in the performance of one, there
is not infrequently a rare opportunity for labor in the other direc-
tion. From the nature of the case, however, much the greater
portions of the months of July and August were given directly and
immediately to assembly management. The months following have
accordingly been devoted more largely to the work of the young
people.
In the field the Secretary has visited twenty-eight churches since
March the first in the interest of the B. Y. P. U., and has assisted,
directly and otherwise, in the organization of twelve Unions. More
than thirty-five hundred miles have been traveled in field work.
The two most important phases of effort have been the Institute
in Charlotte and the Tar River Itinerary. At Charlotte I was as-
sisted by Secretary Arthur Flake, of Baldwyn, Miss. The meetings
resulted in the organization of two Unions in the city, and there
44 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
is probability tbat others will be formed later. In the Tar River
itinerary I was accompanied and assisted by Rev. Walter M. Gil-
more, of Louisburg. This trip resulted in the forming of three
Unions and the discovery and strengthening of three others.
The State Convention of Baptist young people grows in useful-
ness and efficiency. At the last session in Raleigh there was un-
usual interest in the work on the part of the goodly number in
attendance. The next Convention at Mt. Airy, June 9 to 11, 1915,
promises to excel all others in point of attendance and outreach
of influence.
The statistics cannot be properly tabulated. The B. Y. P. U. is
not essentially a record maker; and yet it does make record of
itself, but often under other than its own name and auspices. We
are glad to report four Unions which have attained the full stand-
ard and .are therefore A-l. These are Tabernacle of New Bern, and
Sections A, B and C at Mars Hill College. Mars Hill has a stand-
ing all to itself among the schools and colleges of the South, with
the possible exception of Bessie Tift College in Georgia. Too much
cannot be said in favor of a specific training for church work in
our denominational schools, and in this respect Mars Hill is in
the lead.
According to the best information we can get there are seventy-
six Unions in the State. This is a smaller number than was re-
ported last year. The fact is, a great many reported at that time
disbanded for one reason or another, although there are a few
doubtless of which we have been unable to get an account. But
the showing made by the seventy-six Unions exceeds all former
records. They have more than four thousand active members, six
hundred of whom are taking the Systematic Bible Reader's Course,
and two hundred and twenty-five of whom have taken one or the
other of the study courses prescribed by the Executive Committee
of the South. It seems that not less than twenty-five per cent of
the young people are readers of the Biblical Recorder. Eighty-five
per cent of the Unions are organized on the group plan are using
the B. Y. P. U. Quarterly and have every member to take part in
the open meetings once a month or oftener. This is a fine showing
for so great a number of organizations.
The Biblical Recorder has kindly given us the use of a column
for the discussion of B. Y. P. U. work and for news notes concern-
ing it. The results promise to be helpful indeed both to the B. Y.
P. U. interests and to the Recorder. It will stimulate an interest
in the paper among the young people, and will aid materially in
getting the different phases of B. Y. P. U. conditions and achieve-
ments regularly before our people.
There is a growing conviction on the part of our Baptist brother-
hood that the B. Y. P. U., in its present scope and purposes, fills
a need in our churches which has been unoccupied hitherto. The
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 45
B. Y. P. U. has defined and found itself as a kingdom factor. The
increasing hosts of Baptist young people are catching the vision
of service and are vigorously reaching forward to the things which
are before. This means that a new day is dawning for those
churches which will harness the buoyant spirit of their young
people and train them for efficient church membership.
In the prosecution of the work emphasis must be placed more
and more upon the educational features of the B. Y. P. U. The
Bible Readers Course and the weekly meetings are the vital or-
gans of the body; the one furnishes the material and the other
the field for testimony. The points of contact in the field should
be the local church and B. Y. P. U. none the less, but our denomi-
national schools more. What Mars Hill has done others should
do. And some of them will.
The growth of sentiment favorable to the work, the better under-
standing of it on the part of its supporters, the splendid achieve-
ments already made, together with the eagerness and intelligence
with which our young people throw themselves into the organiza-
tion, predict a bright future for the B. Y. P. U. in North Carolina.

SUNDAY SCHOOL DEPARTMENT.
The excellent report by the Sunday School Committee speaks for
itself. This department, for several years, has been self-sustaining
financially, and its influence is plainly seen in the improvement of
our Sunday Schools, in the way of better equipment, better trained
teachers, and a deeper interest in Bible study. While it would not
be fair to give the State Sunday School Department credit for all
this improvement it certainly has had much to do with it.
Report of Sunday School Committee.
As we close another year it is with gladness and sadness — the
former because of God's blessings on the work as seen all over the
State, the latter because death, for the first time, has invaded our
ranks.
For about a quarter of a century Brother N. B. Broughton, chair-
man of our committee, was the foremost Sunday School worker in
our State and was active in national and world-wide Sunday School
movements. The space allowed for this report forbids details of
his devotion to our Sunday School work and his splendid achieve-
ments in forward movements in modern Sunday Schools. God has
called him to the reward of his fidelity and loyalty to His cause
here on earth. We loved him and looked to him for counsel. The
last time your Secretary was with him, discussing the work, be-
fore his death he remarked, "Brother Middleton, you will miss me
46 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
in this kind of work some day." We do miss him and need him.
Records of lives are closing daily. God holds us personally re-
sponsible for what we do. Then again we are responsible for our
fidelity to His organized work. We have tried diligently to help
our Sunday Schools in every section of the State, and many schools
are catching visions of larger and more efficient work.
PRESENT CONDITIONS.
The records show a healthy gain, really above normal. Last
year we reported 1934 schools, this year 2052. Last year the mem-
bership was 190,686, this year it is 201,224. Last year there were
reported seventy-five branch schools, this year 111. Last year there
seemed to be 195 churches without Sunday Schools, this year 152.
The work of organizing new Sunday Schools goes on as formerly.
This year about seventy-five have been established. Of the 152
churches not reporting schools at least fifty have suspended all
public worship, but have not disbanded and are carried on our
rolls. Possibly twenty-five others have unreported schools. There
are, in fact, not more than seventy-five churches now where Sun-
day Schools could reasonably be organized and maintained.
Many branch schools are not reported and the membership of
less than half of those reported are included in the report of the
home school.
FINANCES.
When this department used a part of the office space of the mis-
sion rooms and the same stenographer as the Corresponding Sec-
retary, our expenses were about $350 less than since assuming these
expenses. The churches have not met this increase with other ex-
penses incident to the work. We are not in debt, but we have not
met this year's expenses by $86.40. Last year we carried over
$229.83. This was not a surplus. It came into the Treasurer's
hands after November 25th, and was needed to open the new year's
work when practically nothing is being received. We ought to so
arrange our finances that November collections can be used for
winter expenses. This year we have received $2,500.71, but $500
of this came from the Sunday School Board. This is a gain of
$120.29 over last year.
Your committee is fully convinced that there ought to be an in-
crease of the fund for office work in the items of printing, postage
and clerical help.
FIELD WORK.
The usual field work has been done, spending about one-half the
time among the churches. Fewer sessions of the Associations were
attended and more Institutes held.
The Sunday School Board has furnished us valuable help in
sending to us Brethren Beauchamp, Spilman, Burroughs and Wiley
of their field force. The field work is intended to arouse our work-
MINUTES OF SESSION 191 4. 47
ers to a realization of their obligations to train themselves so they
may bring their Sunday Schools to the highest degree of efficiency
possible in organization, equipment and teaching.
OFFICE WORK.
We have written more general and personal letters and issued
more printed matter than during any year hitherto. This has
increased our printing and postage accounts very largely. We hope
there will be rich fruitage from this in the future.
There was issued to pastors and superintendents a special appeal
in an effort to reach more of our church members. With this went
a tract "Four Questions for Church Members."
The most important tract was issued following the instructions
of the Convention in Shelby— "To arrange and promote a definite
educational program for the proper presentation at definite times
of all our Convention enterprises to and through our Sunday
Schools."
The program proposed is as follows: (1) Sunday School Mis-
sions, one Sunday each in February, June and September. (2)
The Orphanage, once each month on such Sundays as will suit best
in the respective churches. (3) Home and Foreign Missions, on
'Mission Day in the Sunday School" in March or April. (4) Min-
isterial Education in April or May. (5) State Missions in October
or November. (6) Ministerial relief, one Sunday near Christmas
Practically this program has been observed in many of the more
up-to-date Sunday Schools in the past. The result is contributions
of about $40,000 from the Sunday Schools during last year Our
task is to persuade all Sunday Schools to follow this plan.
Many fail to put the proper estimate on the value of our office
work. All forward movements of our State work start here and
all such progress worth while must be planned here.
TEACHER TRAINING.
Dr. J. B. Gambrel has said, "The most significant movement in-
augurated among Southern Baptists is the teacher training work
of the Sunday School Board." Your committee and Secretary agree
with this, but the rank and file of our Sunday School workers do
not seem to realize it.
Excellent work is being done in our Baptist colleges and schools.
There are now classeg aggregating 556 ,n geventeen Qf these ^
shtutions Others assure us of classes during the spring term.
We ought to reach 800 to 1,000 of these young people with a vision
of the best in Sunday School work during this scholastic year.
This work is constructive and must bear fruit later
This m! f "T!!168 ^ haVe ClaSS6S reP°rted aggregating 414.
This is fine for these churches, but the number of churches is

humiliating. Instead of twenty there ought to be and could be
300 to 400 classes now at work.
It is reasonably well established that every year at least 6,000
inexperienced and untrained workers become officers and teachers
in our Sunday Schools for the first time. It does not need argu-
ment to prove that we need a movement to help these good people.
ORGANIZED CLASSES.
Our Sunday School Board, at Nashville, has several depart-
ments. The youngest and one of the most important of these is
the "Convention Adult Bible Class Department." It exists because
the Southern Baptist Convention, feeling the need of it, instructed
the Board to establish it. It is an effort to align, with general de-
nominational direction, all organized classes in one organization.
The work is growing steadily and we have the confidence that in
due time it will become a great factor in our denominational Sunday
School work and in the training of our adult Sunday School mem-
bership to larger efficiency.
Oar State now stands second in number of classes and third in
the enrollments of these classes. We believe this work will show
marked growth in the very near future. More and more Baptists
are realizing the desirability of uniting, indoctrinating and train-
ing their young people. No one can fix wiser policies or plan more
helpful activities for them than those who know our doctrines and
polity.
In addition to formerly existing organized classes, by whatever
name called, which are invited to register in this department, our
Board is now offering some distinctive denominational classes —
Berean for young men, Fidelis for young women, T. E. L. (Timothy,
Eunice and Lois) for mothers, and Convention Bible classes for
mature men or mixed classes.
Of the many forms of class organization used in the past the
Baraca and Philathea are by far the largest. These classes have
engendered great enthusiasm, created good fellowship and done
much splendid work. For about twenty years their operations were
confined almost entirely to the work of the local class and school,
but more recent activities are developing the inter-class operations
in county and city unions and district, State, and world-wide con-
ventions. In all these the movement is distinctly interdenomina-
tional.
We recognize the democracy of every Baptist church, and would
not interfere with this if we could. Certainly it is the right of all
to affiliate with interdenominational agencies if they wish. To
such churches we wish the largest success in their organized
classes, but we would urge them to affiliate also with all the agencies
fostered by our own Sunday School Board. In doing this we urge
the registration of all Baraca-Philathea Classes, with all others,
MINUTES OF SESSION 191^. 49
in the Convention Adult Bible Class Department. This does not
involve change of name, officers, or plan of work. Classes may
apply to your Secretary for registration.
To those who prefer only denominational affiliations we com-
mend the Baptist classes named above.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
1. That there be no halt until every church has in it a Sunday
School. Let associational workers look after this and call for co-
operation from the State office.
2. That the work of enlisting more of our church members be
pressed.
3. That all adult classes be organized and registered in the "Con-
vention Adult Bible Class Department."
4. That teacher training be emphasized, not only among present
officers and teachers, but in a Normal Class of adults reciting dur-
ing the Sunday School hour.
5. That we urge our people to. cooperate with the Southern Bap-
tist Assembly at Ridgecrest in its Sunday School work. Further,
that we empower the Sunday School Committee, in conjunction
with any special committee appointed by the Convention, to hold
an assembly on the seacoast if financial arrangements can be made.
6. That more of our Sunday Schools contribute to Sunday School
Missions. There is a demand for such an enlargement of the work
as to require at least $2,750 for next year, including the $500 from
the Sunday School Board.

E. L. Middleton, Secretary.
LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT.
Last March a meeting of far-reaching influence was held in the
city of Durham under the auspices of the Laymen's Committee. It
was called the Baptist Men's Missionary Meeting. It was largely
attended and the interest was deep from the beginning to the close.
To Dr. John Jeter Hurt, pastor of the First Baptist Church of Dur-
ham, is due much of the credit for the success of the meeting. Dr.
Charles E. Brewer, chairman of the Laymen's Committee, prepared
an excellent program, and gave general direction to the discussions.
All who attended this gathering of Baptist men were enthusiastic
in their commendations of it. While we do not believe it would
be wise to attempt such a meeting annually, we are of the opinion
that such a gathering occasionally, say every three years, would do
much toward deepening the interest of our people in missions and
improving our methods of work.
In several associations mission campaigns were made and, with-
4
50 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONTENTION.
out exception, these associations advanced in their contributions
to missions. The Associations in which mission campaigns were
conducted will continue the work next year, and we trust that
many others will inaugurate campaigns.
Dr. Brewer, chairman of the Laymen's Committee, is a very busy
man and cannot visit many associations and churches, but he will
be glad to accept as many invitations as possible, and will always
give information about the work to any who write for such infor-
mation.
WOMAN'S WORK.
For twenty-six years Miss Fannie E. S. Heck has been at the
head of the woman's work in North Carolina, and for several years
has been president of the Woman's Auxiliary Union of the South.
For months she has been critically ill in a hospital in Rich-
mond, Va. Hundreds of thousands throughout the South, and mul-
titudes in North Carolina, have been praying that, if it be consistent
with God's will, her valuable life may be spared. Though Miss
Heck has been a great sufferer for months, she has borne her suf-
ferings with beautiful resignation, and through it all has carried
on her heart the work of the State Central Committee here in
Raleigh and of the Central Committee of the Southern Baptist
Convention in Baltimore. Many letters, written by her own hand,
containing wise counsel and expressions of 'deep interest have come
to the office of the Central Committee in Raleigh, and similar com-
munications have gone to the committee rooms in Baltimore.
We, the Board of Missions and Sunday Schools, at this, our first
meeting since Miss Heck became seriously ill, do hereby express
our deep interest in the work to which, with beautiful unselfish-
ness, she has devoted her life, and our sincere sympathy and affec-
tion for her in her hours of suffering. We, with multitudes of
others, join in earnest prayer that if it be God's will He may speak
the healing word and give back to us His faithful servant, who
has led so wisely and well the Baptist women of the State and of
the South.
During the absence of Miss Heck from the office the work which
came under her supervision has been well cared for by Mrs. Jones,
Miss Barrus, and Miss Briggs. Although this has imposed extra
burdens on these ladies they have borne them cheerfully.
Herewith is presented a report of the Central Committee which
gives a summary of the year's work:
Report of Central Committee.
The work of the Woman's Missionary Union shows each year a
gradual and gratifying growth. The return of the Convention to
Raleigh recalls the fact that it was here in 1905 that our Union
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 51
held its last meeting with, the Convention. That year 472 socie-
ties were reported as being actively engaged in mission work, with
gifts amounting to $17,150. During the past year 1,072 societies
have contributed more than $40,000 to the regular objects of the
Union and $2,000 to the Judson Centennial and Home Church Build-
ing Funds, these figures showing that during the past nine years
our numbers and our gifts have far more than doubled.
The work of the associations shows both a strengthening within
those already organized and the beginnings of growth in several
heretofore undeveloped. The associational meetings have been
excellently planned and largely attended. In 44 associations we
now have an able and consecrated woman at the head of the work,
and to these more largely than to any other human instruments
is due the praise and gratitude for whatever of success the Union
has achieved.
There has been a gradual growth and strengthening in all de-
partments of the work during the past year, the most marked ad-
vance being along the line of mission study. One hundred and
twenty-six Mission Study Classes, an increase of 650 new sub-
scribers to the Foreign Mission Journal and the Home Field and
over 1,200 subscribers to Our Mission Fields shows that our women
are realizing more and more the importance of making intelligent
information the basis of more efficient work.
As usual an encouraging number of new workers have been en-
listed. Over 200 new societies have been organized and 1,300 new
members enrolled. With their increasing strength and support
and the continued faithfulness of the more experienced workers
we look forward with hope and courage to the coming year.
We desire to express our grateful appreciation for the help ex-
tended by the secretaries and officers of the Convention, the pastors
and moderators of the associations, and to ask for their continued
support. We are especially indebted to the Corresponding Secre-
tary, our beloved Dr. Johnson, whose unfailing cooperation and
counsel have been as a tower of strength in every time of need.
For the year ending February, 1914, our contributions were as
follows:
To Foreign Missions $ 16,785.95
To Home Missions 10,624.17
To State Missions 10,927.19
To Louisville Training School 1,237.86
To Sunday School Board 109.17

FOREIGN MISSIONS.
The report of the Foreign Mission Board for the year closing
May 1, 1914, was a most gratifying one. The report shows that we
have on the foreign field 380 churches, 278 foreign missionaries, of
whom 120 are men and 158 women. In addition to these there
are 151 ordained native missionaries, and 284 unordained native
helpers, of whom 286 are men and 98 women. The total member-
ship is 29,991, and there were 5,252 baptisms. Tbere were 9,376
students in Baptist schools, including 420 in the theological semi-
naries and training schools". The number of baptisms last year
was the largest ever reported in one year.
The Board received for the support of its work last year $587,-
458.97. This lacked $68,000 of meeting the expenditures of the
Board, which left a debt of that amount. We are gratified at the
fine showing made by North Carolina for Foreign Missions. We
raised $56,318.50, going beyond our apportionment, which was
$55,000. The figures for next year were fixed at $60,000, and we
feel confident that our people will raise the full amount.
North Carolina has twenty-two missionaries on the foreign field.
Of these nineteen are in China, two in Japan, one in Mexico, and
one in Argentina. There are many other volunteers ready to go
as soon as the Board can get the means to send them. At Wake
Forest and Meredith there are many who have the foreign field
in view.
The terrible war now raging in Europe will, we confidently be-
lieve, result in opening the door of opportunity more widely on
every foreign field to the missionaries of the cross. We must en-
large our gifts to Foreign Missions in order that the Board may
be able to enter the open doors when the day of opportunity comes.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 53
HOME MISSIONS.
The Home Board is doing mission work among foreigners, In-
dians and negroes. It also has missionaries in Cuba and Japan,
and is doing cooperative mission work in several of the Southern
States. The missionaries of the Board report 19,198 baptisms and
19,938 received by letter, a total addition of 39,136. In fairness to
the State Boards, and in faithfulness to the facts, it should be
stated that these additions by baptism and letter include those re-
ported by the State Boards in those States in which cooperative
mission work is done. This statement is made in a footnote on
page 282 of the Minutes of the Southern Baptist Convention.
The department of evangelism has had a successful year. In
meetings held by the evangelists of the Home Board last year there
were 8,414 baptisms and 3,834 additions by letter and restoration,
making the total number of additions 12,248.
North Carolina is cooperating with the Home Board in the work
of enlistment. The report of Brother Upchurch shows the charac-
ter and results of the work done.
The mountain schools constitute another department of the Home
Board. Dr. A. E. Brown has been superintendent of this work ever
since its beginning. The Board has schools located in Virginia,
Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama. There were 32 schools last year, with 156 teachers and
an enrollment of 5,218. The current expenses amounted to $62,036,
of which amount the Home Board paid $19,500; and improvements
were made to the amount of $47,936, of which the Home Board
paid $14,761. Ten of the thirty-two schools in the system are lo-
cated in North Carolina.
The Home Board also has a department of church extension or,
as we are accustomed to designate it, the Church Building Depart-
ment of the Home Mission Board. This department is in charge
of Dr. Louis B. Warren and the purpose is to raise a million dol-
lars to be used as a church building and loan fund.
The total receipts of the Board last year were $397,849.29. North
Carolina contributed $32,710.17. We are requested to raise $40,000
next year, which is a modest sum to ask of our 250,000 people.
PRACTICAL SUGGESTIONS.
A few practical suggestions are here offered which if acted upon
would, in the judgment of the Board, add much to the efficiency of
our work.
AS TO FINANCES.
The Board has often urged the necessity of regular contributions
throughout the year, and has pointed out the danger of leaving so
much to be done until the very last. This year we reached the last
week with just a little more than half enough in hand to meet
54 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
our obligations to State Missions. Unforeseen conditions arose
which prevented the denomination from concentrating its efforts
on our State Mission work during the last week, and as a conse-
quence we are forced to report a debt of $4,825.92.
We recognize the fact that the several objects have their special
periods and that during these periods the objects to which they
belong should have first claim upon our denomination; but we do
not distribute our contributions over these periods as we should,
else the pressure would not be so great at the very last. At the
Convention last year the following resolution was unanimously
adopted:
"Resolved, That we ask the churches to make an earnest effort
to raise the amount that may be due on State Missions on the first
of September in three installments — one-third by the first of Oc-
tober, one-third by the first of November, and the remainder by
the first of December."
Had the churches acted on the above suggestion we would have
reached the first of November with $37,500, leaving only $17,500
to raise in November. Instead of that we reached the last week
in November with $24,000 still to raise.
ASSOCIATIONS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEES.
In some important particulars the Associational Executive Com-
mittees sustain a relation to our Convention which is more im-
portant than that of the State Board of Missions. In making its
appropriations the Board is dependent, almost entirely, upon the
recommendations of the associational Executive Committees. For
this reason the responsibility that rests upon these committees is
an extremely solemn one. They are the administrators of sacred
trust funds, funds given to God by his people, and expended largely
upon the recommendation of the associational Executive Com-
mittees. There should be between the State Board of Missions and
the associational Executive Committees the closest and most cor-
dial cooperation. We suggest, therefore,
1. That the chairman of the associational Executive Committee
be made the representative on the Board from his Association, and
that he make a very earnest effort to attend the meeting of the
Board at which the annual appropriations are made.
2. Executive Committees should be scrupulously careful in making
recommendations. Every point asking aid should be thoroughly
investigated by some member of the Executive Committee. The
Executive Committee should satisfy itself as to three things: (1)
That the point is one of sufficient promise and importance as to
justify the expenditure asked; (2) that it is doing all that could
be reasonably expected of it toward its own support, and (3) that
the preacher called to the field is capable of doing the work ex-
pected of him.
MINUTES OF SESSION 191J,. 55
3. Members of the Executive Committee should visit every mis-
sion point during the year and urge them to do all in their power
toward the support of their pastor. One or two members can
visit a church or probably two churches on one Sunday, and in
that way can get around in a comparatively short time. The mem-
bers of the committee should familiarize themselves with condi-
tions before making a visit. They should know how many mem-
bers there are at any given point, how much they contribute to
pastors' salary and what the contribution amounts to per member.
If all our Executive Committees should make such investigations
many of them would be surprised at the revelations that would
be made.
4. The Executive Committee of each Association should meet at
least quarterly and confer in regard to the work in the Associa-
tion. It would be convenient for the Executive Committee to hold
a conference on Saturday before the fifth Sunday in associations
which have fifth Sunday meetings.
STATE MISSION INFORMATION.
Our people owe it to themselves as well as to the work to obtain
all available information on the subject of State Missions.
We would commend the little book published by the Board last
year called "Christian Statesmanship." While this book was de-
signed primarily for a course of mission study in our schools and
for Mission Study Classes in our churches and missionary societies,
it can be read with profit by those who desire information in regard
to the work of State Missions. The book is cloth-bound and con-
tains a hundred and thirty pages. The price has been fixed at
twenty-five cents, postpaid. This price barely covers the cost of
publication, but the book was gotten out, not to make money, but
to impart information.
Report of the Board.
This report contains the result of our State Mission work for
the year just closed. We believe it would be both profitable and
interesting if pastors would use this report as a basis for talks
at three or four mid-week prayer meetings. Few of our people,
comparatively, ever see the Convention minutes, and of those who
see them very few study them carefully. If the pastors would talk
on the important items in this report on every prayer meeting night
during the month of January, while the facts are fresh in their
minds, thousands of our people who are now ignorant as to our
work would get an intelligent conception of what has been done
during the past year.
BOARD MEMBERS.
We believe that no person receiving a salary from the Board
should be a member of the same. This includes those in the gen-
56 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
eral work and missionaries of the Board. The Corresponding Sec-
retary and Treasurer are elected by and are, therefore, officers of
the Convention, but their salaries are fixed by the Board. The
others receiving salaries from the Board are directly answerable
to the Board. In our opinion the Corresponding Secretary, the as-
sistant to the Corresponding Secretary, the Sunday School Secre-
tary and the Treasurer should sit in council with the Board and
perform such duties as the Board may impose upon them, such as
keeping records, writing reports or, if necessary, serving on com-
mittees; but they should not be allowed a vote on any question
that comes before the Board for settlement.
RECOMMENDATIONS.
We beg leave to submit the following recommendations for the
consideration of the Convention:
1. That associational Executive Committees be requested to in-
sist that churches receiving aid from the Board shall cooperate
with the Board in the formation of compact fields in the interest
of efficiency and economy.
2. That churches which have been aided for a long time be and
are hereby urged to reduce the amounts asked for each year, and
to relieve the Board entirely as soon as possible.
3. That associational Executive Committees, whenever possible
to do so, shall arrange for mission campaigns.
4. That our churches be urged to adopt the envelope system,
and that collections for the objects of the Convention be taken
weekly or monthly.
5. That the Executive Committee of the State Mission Board be
instructed to apportion to the several associations the amounts
to be raised for the three mission objects, and that the several
associations be requested to apportion the amounts to the churches.
6. That the amount to be appropriated for our State Mission
work next year be fixed at $50,000.
7. That the Treasurer's books close on Tuesday after the third
Sunday in November.
CONCLUSION.
When all things are taken into consideration there is no occa-
sion for discouragement. This year's record is the greatest ever
made by the Baptists of North Carolina. The number of baptisms
in the State as a whole exceeds that of last year by nearly two
thousand, while there have been 332 more baptisms on mission
fields this year than last.
The Baptists of the State never contributed so much money in
any one year as they gave this year. The contributions, so far as
the figures can be obtained, were $271,675.18. Our total of contribu-
tions to mission objects this year is $134,044.84, an advance over last
year of $5,325.84.
MINUTES OF SESSION 19Uh

In the conclusion of this report we desire to emphasize, with
tremendous earnestness, our oft-repeated warning concerning the
danger of leaving so much to be done until the very last. Pain-
ful as the experience is, let us profit by it in the future.
The debt on State Missions was caused by a peculiar combina-
tion of circumstances and affords no ground whatever for pessim-
ism. Even under ordinary circumstances a five-thousand-dollar
debt on a $55,000 business should not be regarded as serious, and
when the peculiar conditions are considered, such as the European
war, the appeal for the Belgian sufferers, and the inclement Sun-
days in November, we should be thankful that our indebtedness is
no larger. Surely a quarter of a million people will not falter when
called upon to face a little deficit of five thousand dollars. Many an
individual Baptist in the State in his private business will be forced
to carry over into the next year a larger amount than that. Our
debt is only ten per cent of our expenditures.
In reporting the Texas Convention which was held a few days
ago Dr. Gambrell says: "The debt of $40,000 did not even dampen
the spirit of the Convention." Baptists of North Carolina, are we
of less heroic mould than our brethren of the Lone Star State?
We may not do things on as large scale as Texas, but if they are
undaunted in the face of a $40,000 debt we should enter upon the
new year hilariously with the little amount of $5,000 on the wrong
side of the ledger.
Let us adopt as ours the inspiring language of Joshua in an ad-
dress to his soldiers just on the eve of battle: "Be of good courage
and let us play the men for our people and for the cities of our
God." John E. Ray, President.
Livingston Johnson, Corresponding Secretary.

F. H. Bbiggs,
December 9, 1914. Auditor.
W. C. Barrett read the following report on Sunday
Schools, which was discussed by John A. Oates and J. M.
Frost, Secretary of the Baptist Sunday School Board, of
Nashville, Tenn., and adopted.
REPORT ON SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
When the Sunday School movement started it was not a Church
movement. It has been adopted by the churches and has become a
part of their work.
SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK IN GENERAL.
In the efforts to prepare the Sunday School to meet the needs of
all classes the Baptists have had no small part in the general work.
The International Sunday School Association was organized in 1832.
The Sunday School Council is an organization of the Sunday School
Secretaries of the various denominations in America. It was organ-
ized in 1910. These two organizations represent two methods of
Sunday School work.
The Council emphasizes the denominational note in the Sunday
School work. It encourages the workers to give their first allegiance
to their denomination. The Association has in the past failed to
emphasize the denominational note. The Association, which has
hitherto paid little attention to denominational agencies, invited all
of the Denominational Secretaries to attend its last session in
Chicago as delegates at large — a thing hitherto unknown. Between
these two forces the matter of lesson-making is now being treated as
a football in operation. The result can not yet be seen.
At the last session of the Association the Lesson Committee was
readjusted. At present the committee is composed of eight members
from the Association, eight from the Council, and one from
each denomination having a Lesson Committee of its own. Of the
Associational members two are Baptists — Dr. John R. Sampey of
Louisville, Ky., and Dr. Ira M. Price of Chicago, 111. Dr. I. J. Van
Ness is the Baptist member for the Council. Dr. E. C. Dargan,
Macon, Ga., is the member to represent the Lesson Committee of the
Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. W. E. Chalmers, of Philadelphia,
represents the Lesson Committee of the Northern Baptist Conven-
tion. With these able men on the committee Baptists have nothing
62 N. 0. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
to fear. Whether this arrangement will bring satisfaction is not
yet seen.
The Southern Baptist Convention has a Lesson Committee of its
own, nominated by the Sunday School Board, and elected annually
by the Convention. The work of the Committee has been to sit in
judgment on the work of the International Committee. Our Com-
mittee has rejected and revised a great deal of the Graded Lesson
work of the International Committee. Just how long this plan of
selecting our lessons will continue no one can tell, but the indica-
tions now are that the time is not far distant when the large de-
nominations will select their own lessons.
WORK OF THE BAPTISTS IX THE SOUTH.
No department of the work of the Southern Baptist Convention
has been more prosperous than that of the Sunday School Board
located at Nashville, Tenn. It was launched after much thinking
and praying and many warm discussions on the floor of the Con-
vention. It prospered from the very first and continues to prosper
to this day. Rev. J. M. Frost, D.D., Christian statesman and finan-
cier, with the aid of his co-workers, has managed the affairs of the
Board with such skill as to arouse the admiration of all who have
been acquainted with its progress.
The new Sunday School building was presented to the Conven-
tion at its last session in Nashville. It is one of the best and most
beautiful buildings in the city. It is conveniently located and emi-
nently suited for the work of the Board. The lot on which the build-
ing stands cost $60,000 and the building cost $160,000, making a
total of $220,000.
The field work of the Board is being pushed with intelligence
and vigor.
In addition to the regular helps on the Uniform Lessons the
Board is furnishing a system of Graded Lessons for the Beginners,
Primary, Junior, Intermediate and Senior departments. The
Graded Lessons have been well received and the demand for them
is growing rapidly.
The business of the Board has been successfully conducted. Start-
ing with nothing but the endorsement of the Southern Baptist Con-
vention, it has accumulated property to the amount of $556,277.20.
It has not been selfish for it has given liberally to the other objects
of the Convention, and in addition has helped to carry on the Sun-
day School work in all the States of the Convention. Last year the
Board gave $53,602.95 to other objects. This includes about $30,000
appropriated to the Field Department of the Board. Since the Board
was established twenty-three years ago it has returned to the de-
nomination in gifts $582,486.52.
The Baptists were the first denomination in the South to under-
take teacher training work. The Board has provided a normal
course of the best books on the Bible and Sunday School teaching.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 63
Already 26,508 of the Sunday School teachers in the Baptist Sunday
Schools in the South have diplomas, 2,552 of these being held by
teachers in North Carolina.
The Organized Class Movement has been a wonderful stimulus
to the Sunday School work during the past few years. The Baraca-
Philathea movement originated by Mr. Marshal A. Hudson, with
headquarters at Syracuse, N. Y., has been the most aggressive and
most generally accepted plan of organized classes.
So popular and widespread has become this movement in the
South, particularly in North Carolina, that when our denomination
thought the time ripe for the development of its own organized
adult class work it sought first to utilize the machinery of the
Baracas and Philatheas. It was soon found, however, that satis-
factory cooperation was unattainable, and the Baptist denomination
proceeded to develop and promote its own plan of organization,
eventuating in Berean classes for men and Fidelis classes for women.
This plan is meeting with a hearty response from our people.
Quite a number of new classes have been organized under the names
"Berean" and "Fidelis"; and, moreover, some of the Baraca and
Philathea Classes have seen fit to readjust their plan of organiza-
tion and adopt these distinctive Baptist names. We feel sure that
any difficulties that may arise from a readjustment of our organ-
ized classes to bring them into organic relationship with our de-
nomination can be solved without injury either to the class or the
denomination. We commend the statement about organized classes
and the recommendations in the report of the Sunday School Com-
mittee of the Board of Missions.
IN NORTH CAROLINA.
The Baptists of North Carolina have had a good part in the Sun-
day School work of the South and of the world. We have furnished
to the world some Sunday School workers of the first magnitude.
Our Sunday School Committee of the State Board of Missions has
been wise and energetic in the pursuit of the work; hampered at
times by the lack of means and by indifference on the part of pas-
tors and churches, yet the committee has diligently pressed the
work with magnificent success. Last year there were 934 schools;
this; year 2,052, a gain of 118. There are this year 111 branch
schools; at least 75 new schools were organized. Total membership
now is 201,224, a gain of 10,443 over last year. The Sunday Schools
gave last year at least $40,000 over and above all Sunday School
expenses used at home.
The committee was fortunate in securing a few years ago Bro.
E. L. Middleton as Secretary. Being deeply interested in the work,
thoroughly acquainted with the needs and conditions and with
Sunday School methods, he has pursued the work with untiring
vigilance and brought it to a splendid success.
64 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
We would appeal to the pastors to assume the leadership in the
Sunday School work. We believe that if the pastors will inform
their people as to the conditions, methods and means suggested and
offered by our own agencies they will be readily adopted. The aver-
age superintendent will welcome any suggestion from the pastor
and heartily cooperate with him in adopting such plans as will
make the Sunday School an effective agency for building up the
kingdom of God.
There is great need of pressing the work of organized classes
along denominational lines. We would recommend that this work
be pressed with all diligence in the State and that a Field Secre-
tary for Organized Class Work be put in the field by the Sunday
School Board at Nashville as soon as possible.

STATE MISSIONS.
The story of Baptist State Mission work in North Carolina is
indeed thrilling to those who are interested in kingdom building.
For far-seeing Christian statesmanship and for heroic sacrifices,
our denominational leaders in this State for the past century can
scarcely be surpassed anywhere. Eternity alone can reveal what
a large part these faithful, consecrated patriots have contributed
toward the uplift of multiplied thousands of precious lives, who,
in turn, have become mighty factors in the material, intellectual,
moral and spiritual development of the State.
The wisdom of our forefathers, who organized this Convention in
1830, in providing for a liberal State Mission policy has been amply
justified by the rapid spread and deep rooting of our Baptist prin-
ciples from Manteo to Murphy. So that today, instead of the 15,000
Baptists who were in the State when the division came 84 years
ago, there is a mighty army of more than 400,000 souls who are
marching under the same banner as did Martin Ross and Thomas
Meredith.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 65
Have not Baptists, therefore, just about completed their task in
North Carolina? The very fact of our rapid and widespread growth
has only magnified and intensified our obligation to train these
hosts for world-conquest. So that today the need of the work of
the State Mission Board is more imperative than it was 50 years
ago, acute as was the situation at that time.
That the titanic struggle now going on across the sea will bring
about a new era in the evangelization of the world is a foregone
conclusion. Let us hope that one result of the present war in
Europe will be the sounding of the death-knell of that senseless
and godless militarism that has predominated for so long in some
sections of that country. But a result that will surely follow will
be the influx of vast hordes of immigrants to this country. There
is a straight road from every nation in Europe to the United States.
Already the government has taken steps to divert much of the im-
migration to our Southern ports. Many of these foreigners will
doubtless find homes in the "Good Old North State." We shall need,
therefore, to fortify our positions as never before, not only to
evangelize them with the pure gospel when they come, but that we
may save ourselves from the influence of their ideas of government
and religion, which are not friendly to ours. We must get ready
to meet these people with the gospel. If we do not win them to
Christian ideals they will win our children to their ideals. The
moral and religious welfare of several generations will be deter-
mined largely by what we do for State Missions within the next
two or three years. If we fail to erect the bulwarks of defense, the
atheistic and materialistic ideas of Europe will overwhelm us.
Another result that will inevitably follow will be the greatly im-
poverished condition in men and money of our sister nations, who
are engaged with us in carrying the gospel to the ends of the earth,
so that the heathen world will have to look to the Christians of
America largely for the bread of life for the next generation.
Our State Board needs, therefore, to double its efforts in making
the great body of our churches and the rank and file of our mem-
bership more efficient, so that we may be able to meet successfully
the oncoming crisis.
But, independent of the new conditions thrust upon us in recent
months, there are still many unfinished tasks for North Carolina
Baptists within our own borders. According to the last religious
census of the State only a little over 40 per cent of all the people
of the State are even nominal Christians. There are yet vast areas
in our State where the gospel, as we preach it, is never heard. Of
the 256,599 white Baptists reported in the State, perhaps not more
than one-fourth of them are doing anything much for the growth
of the kingdom. There are yet many strategic centers where our
cause is suffering for the lack of proper equipment. Many points
5

are unable to sustain strong, efficient men, such as the exigencies
of the fields demand.
Furthermore, with our recent industrial development there has
sprung up a distinct type of citizenship within our midst that must
be reckoned with. That type is commonly known as "the mill peo-
ple." They are more or less nomadic in their habits of living, and
so, as a rule, they are not permanent fixtures in church activities.
Though they are very susceptible to religious influences they are
quick to detect any lack of social recognition, and the average
church, pursuing its ordinary methods, will fail every time to reach
the great majority of them. And yet no class of people needs more
the saving, uplifting power of the gospel than this one. Here the
State Board must step in with its strong arm of support and pro-
vide adequate gospel privileges for this ever-increasing class of our
citizenship which, if left alone, will affect our civilization disas-
trously.
The problem of the backward country church we have always
with us. Though the great bulwark of our Baptist strength has
ever been in the country, yet if all the churches could be aroused
so that they could catch a vision of the great tasks before us, our
strength would be multiplied a hundredfold.
But a better day is dawning. The work of our State Mission
agencies, including that of our Sunday School, B. Y. P. U., Enlist-
ment and W. M. XT. departments, is already bearing rich fruitage.
We need to emphasize more and more the supreme value of spirit-
ual religion for the individual life, which will manifest itself in
daily conduct. A galvanized religion will not stand the test of
these times. The true evangelistic note must sound out clear and
strong from every pulpit from the mountains to the sea.
But with this must go the persistent teaching and training of
each individual Christian life, else vast mines of undeveloped and
unutilized resources will not be released for the work of extending
the kingdom, as is sadly true at present. Too much stress, there-
fore, cannot be placed upon those agencies that are promoting the
training of our young people in church membership. This, we be-
lieve, is the only solution of many of the problems that confront
us today. If our young people are rooted and grounded in the
faith, and are taught to be skillful in the use of their Bibles, they
will not be easily swept off their feet by every wind of doctrine,
of which the air is full. If they have been taught the needs of our
mission fields, and have received the master mission motive in their
hearts from a constant study of the Word, they will not turn a deaf
ear to the cry of need when they have means to supply it. They
will give regularly and proportionately, as the Lord has prospered
them. There will be no deficits in our mission treasuries, and the
annual agony for funds for State Missions and other objects at
stated seasons will be only a sad memory of former days.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 67
In view of the extraordinary conditions through which we are
now passing we are exceedingly gratified that the debt reported on
State Missions is no larger. We earnestly recommend that this
deficit be wiped out at the earliest possible moment, and that our
State Mission work be pitched on the same basis for the ensuing
year as for the year just closed, $50,000 for mission work, and that
the matter of appropriations for church building be left to the dis-
cretion of the Executive Committee.

AMENDMENT.
The report of the Board of Missions and Sunday Schools, owing
to the modesty of the Corresponding Secretary, Livingston Johnson,
D.D., who wrote it, contains only the merest mention of the popular
and valuable State Mission Study Text-book, which he wrote and
published a few months ago. It is entitled "Christian Statesman-
ship"; it is well and worthily written; it contains much valuable
information which our people ought to have and use; it is well
adapted to both private reading and class work, as already amply
proven; and it merits a circulation which will quickly distribute
the first edition of 2,000 copies, half of which is gone, and call for
successive editions. We warmly commend it to all our people for
class use in B. Y. P. U., W. M. U. and other special classes as well
as for individual perusal. It is a neat cloth-bound volume of 130
pages and the price covers only the actual cost of printing and
binding — twenty-five cents per copy.
The report was discussed by Braxton Craig, Livingston
Johnson, C. W. Scarborough, J. M. Frost, B. Cade, W. L.
Poteat, and C. J. Thompson.
A ring sent to Treasurer Durham by a young lady at the
Louisville Training School to be sold and the price appro-
priated to State Missions, was presented tothe Convention,
which precipitated the taking of an offering, which amounted
to $90.84 for the ring, and was appropriated to State Mis-
sions, and Secretary Johnson was directed to return the ring
to the young iady as a present with the love of the Conven-
tion.
The report as amended was adopted.
68 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
H. C. Moore read the following report on the Biblical Re-
corder.
THE BIBLICAL RECORDER.
Shall we launch today a great circulation campaign for the Bibli-
cal Recorder?
Its circulation this week is 12,500 copies, which in this regard
puts it in the front rank of denominational papers. The list is re-
markably clean and up-to-date and subscribers are, in this trying
period on newspapers, particularly religious newspapers, loyal to
the Recorder in a gratifying degree.
But with all this we are barely touching our task. There are
now 256,000 white Baptists in North Carolina, some 200,000 of them
not reading the Recorder. There are approximately 75,000 white
Baptist homes in the State, at least 60,000 of them not receiving
the Recorder. There are probably from 3,000 to 5,000 new Baptist
homes entered or formed among us each year without the Recorder
reaching one-tenth of them. We had nearly 15,000 new people to
come into our churches last year by baptism, and we fear that the
ministry of the Recorder is not enlisting one in a hundred of them.
Scores of our ordained ministers, hundreds of our Sunday School
superintendents and church clerks, and thousands of our deacons
are not readers of the Recorder.
In view of these pertinent though rather humbling facts we are
certainly conservative in saying that the Recorder right now ought
to have a stable circulation of at least 25,000, and that in a few
years it ought to be carried up to 40,000 or 50,000 and beyond.
The directors of the Recorder, who for nearly seven years have
met monthly and gone carefully over all the affairs of the paper,
guarding diligently its financial welfare, and for their service de-
serving the thanks of our entire brotherhood, call upon the Con-
vention to more directly and vigorously aid them in solving the
circulation problem. They feel that two things are necessary:
First, to make an offer that will win subscribers and support with-
out endangering the financial stability of the paper; and secondly,
to secure the right helpers to carry out the circulation program.
After editorial consultation with several local Pastors' Conferences
and endorsement by the North Carolina Baptist Pastors' Conference
in this city on Monday last, the following offer is therefore made
to and through the churches: Ten thousand new annual subsc7~ip-
tions for ten thousand dollars. Ten thousand is named because
that many ought to be gotten; they are needed, and a smaller task
would hardly shock this great Convention into a realization of its
possibilities or a performance of its duties in this direction. The
dollar proposition can be safely made only in bulk, only to new an-
nual subscribers who pay in advance, and in the prospect of enter-
ing a large per cent, twenty-five in some, fifty in others, and seventy-
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 69
five in a few, of the homes in the churches cooperating. Let it be
clear that the regular subscription price must for the present re-
main at $1.50 per year. The directors feel that when the circulation
reaches a stable minimum circulation of 20,000 weekly they will
probably be able to reduce the price to $1 per year on the strictly
cash basis.
To carry out any adequate circulation program there must be
more than the office and field work hitherto done by and for the
Recorder. We are firmly convinced that the paper should be put
squarely on the hearts and in the hands of the churches, and that
the churches should put behind the circulation of the paper their
organization and energy just as they do other phases of our de-
nominational activity. Moreover, we feel that since the paper has
lent and spent itself for the upbuilding of all our work, it will not
be an intrusion to ask that our general denominational workers be
asked to join in the proposed campaign for new subscribers.
We recommend that we enter upon a campaign for 10,000 new
annual subscriptions for the Recorder at $1 each in clubs to
churches; that the time for this campaign extend from the meeting
of this Convention to that of the Southern Baptist Convention next
May; that we commend to the churches the observance of "Recorder
Days" during this period, and that we call upon our State denomi-
national workers, as far as their duties will permit, to join in the
campaign.
The report was discussed by W. R. Bradshaw, T. J. Tay-
lor, G. T. Lumpkin, C. J. Thompson, E. R. Harris, and S. L.
Morgan, and adopted.
After a devotional service, conducted by C. B. Waller, the
Convention adjourned for dinner.
THURSDAY — Afternoon Session.
"There is a Fountain Filled With Blood" was sung, after
which Secretary L. Johnson introduced the following pas-
tors, who have come to the State since the last Convention:

70 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
E. E. Smith, President of the colored Baptist State Con-
vention, was presented as a fraternal messenger from that
body.
T. B. Davis read the following report on the Baptist Young
People's Union :
REPORT ON BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE'S UNION.
From the report submitted to the Southern Baptist Convention
in Nashville this year the Baptist Young People's Union is making
marked advancement throughout the South, and, from our Secre-
tary's report, North Carolina is making encouraging progress. How-
ever the work has been at somewhat of a disadvantage during much
of the present year. Through the resignation of the Secretary last
year the position was left vacant for some time. Finally Rev. J. D.
Moore, of Ridgecrest, was secured for the place, and the splendid
work he has done shows the wisdom of his selection. While fewer
Unions report this year, yet the efficiency of these is greater in en-
rollment, study course and Bible study, than that of the larger num-
ber of Unions reported last year. Brother Moore could be secured
for only one-half his time owing to his duties as Secretary of the
Southern Baptist Assembly at Ridgecrest, and this, of course, has
prevented growth of the work.
The Convention in Raleigh, June 9-11, was well attended, and from
both a practical and spiritual standpoint it was the best yet held.
Mr. Arthur Flake's practical lectures on the Manual and Dr. Weston
Bruner's spiritual addresses on evangelism were unexcelled, and
were worthy of the presence of any pastor and young people in our
State. The next Convention will be held at Mt. Airy, June 9-11,
next year. We hope every pastor will urge the attendance of a
number of his young people, and will add his presence.
We are glad the Convention last year deemed it wise to continue
its fostering aid to the young people's work so generously, and
would recommend that the Convention continue to give it as liberal
support financially as possible. We believe there is no money spent
in our denominational enterprises which counts for more in king-
dom building than that spent in helping to train our young people
in efficient service. We hope provision may be made for the next
year by which our Secretary may be able to give his full time to
the work.
If the Baptists of this Convention and of our Southland would
have a committee of, say, Drs. Gambrell, Frost and Mullins, to pre-
pare a scriptural catechism covering the great fundamental doc-
trines of our faith, and then if our pastors would teach this dili-
gently to the "little child in our midst," following it faithfully with
"the B. Y. P. U. idea," many of our most difficult and distressing
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 71
problems would be solved in another generation. Child training is
fundamental, and we cannot afford to neglect it. If we do, the B.
Y. P. U. and other agencies cannot rescue the young Christian from
the loss sustained by this neglect of fundamental foundation work.
But, some say, that brings an almost impossible task. Almost, but
not altogether; between us and the greatest opportunities lie the
biggest obstacles. By removing these many of us will find that
others have disappeared. Were there no enemy to face there could
be no victory gained. Many pastors are spending their energies at
the top when it would be far more profitable to work at the bottom.
Let us stop for a while gathering nubbins on the old corn and cul-
tivate the young and tender corn that gives promise of a full harvest.
To quote from the report of our State Mission Board of last year:
"We believe there is a very important place in our denominational
organization for the B. Y. P. U. work. It is unquestionably true
there are influences at work among our young people which tend
to weaken their denominational loyalty. Some of our young people
have been caught in the current of interdenominational movements,
and are being led to believe that to be loyal to one's own denomi-
nation is an indication of narrowness." This tendency in some
parts of our State has almost become epidemic, and many of our
young people, if they ever knew them, are losing sight of the great
fundamental doctrines as taught by the Word and by Baptists. As
Dr. Frost would say, you cannot expect a coon dog to do other than
chase rabbits unless he has been trained to know the difference be-
tween rabbit and raccoon tracks. The time has come, if we would
save our young people for efficient service, and would have them
"bear much fruit" as well as sound, wholesome fruit, for us to bend
our energies to planting and cultivating "the things that be of
God" in the hearts and minds of these. Again I quote: "It is the
mission of the B. Y. P. U. to teach our young people the doctrines
of our faith," and we would add, train them for effective service in
the kingdom through our denominational agencies. A B. Y. P. U.
in every church, meeting regularly, studying our peculiar doctrines,
missions, taking the study course and keeping up the daily Bible
readings would, we believe, do more to our young people for great
usefulness than all other agencies combined. No other agency of
our denomination does any part of teaching and training the young
Cbristian as the B. Y. P. U. It is as nearly all-inclusive as possible.
It shows both the what and the how of Christian living. The Sun-
day School leads through the Word into Christ; the B. Y. P. U.
through the Christ into the more abundant life.
The preservation and propagation of the church depend upon the
enlisting, enlightening and enthusing of these babes in Christ. Save
the young men for intelligent citizenship and you save the State;
train the young Christian for efficient service in kingdom affairs
and you save the church for the kingdom. If there is one message
72 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
which the Spirit would tell to the churches with unceasing empha-
sis it is, "Feed my lambs." These lambs are the hope for both food
and raiment in spiritual things to the perishing world.

H. C. Moore made the following report of the Judson Cen-

REPORT OF JUDSON CENTENNIAL COMMITTEE.
Two years ago last May the Southern Baptist Convention, in ses-
sion at Oklahoma City, launched the Judson Centennial campaign
for $1,250,000 for the equipment of our mission fields in various
countries of the world. When the committee met last July in
Asheville it was announced that more than $600,000 had been al-
ready raised, and it was agreed that the campaign for this special
fund should be pressed to completion within the specified time,
which comes to a close by the meeting of the 1915 Convention in
Houston, Texas.
Two years ago this week the Baptist State Convention of North
Carolina, in session at Goldsboro, approved the Judson campaign
in general and specifically assumed as our share of the common
task the equipment of the Yates field in China at an estimated cost
of from $90,000 to $100,000.
Last year at Shelby your committee was able to report that in
cash and subscriptions about $60,000 had been raised in this State.
We come to you this year with the report that good progress has
been made in collections and new subscriptions during the past
twelvemonth. We are, however, short of our goal by a good many
MINUTES OF SESSION 191.',. 73
thousands of dollars. We urge that those of our churches, which
have not yet participated in this effort, join in the movement within
the next few months in order that the campaign may be success-
fully completed by the first of May next.
We make grateful record of the faithful and efficient service of
Elder Braxton Craig, who, as Field Representative for the Judson
Fund in North Carolina, has visited many of our churches and
wisely led them in making symmetrical gifts to this and other ob-
jects. We commend him anew to the churches and ask that cordial
cooperation be further given him in the discharge of his task.
Your committee reports the loss of two of its members: Brother
N. B. Broughton, whose death has been so deeply felt and so widely
lamented, and Rev. W. C. Tyree, D.D., who a few months ago re-
moved from the State to enter upon the pastorate of the First Bap-
tist Church of Greenwood, Miss. If it is your desire to continue
this committee, we would be pleased for the President to appoint
members to fill these vacancies and to aid in the further prosecu-
tion of the work. Hight C. Moore,
For Committee.
W. E. Crocker, a returned missionary from China and a
native of this State, spoke, as did also B. Craig, Field Rep-
resentative of the Centennial Movement in North Carolina,
after which the report was adopted.
A telegram from J. C. Pritchard, President of the Board
of Trustees of the Southern Baptist Assembly at Ridgecrest,
was read, urging the brotherhood to come to the rescue of the
Assembly promptly lest its property be lost to the denomina-
tion.
A letter from F. M. Jordan was read, and Secretary
Brewer was instructed to convey to him the tender regards
of the Convention, along with the free will offering that was
taken for him, amounting to $37. 11.
J. H. Foster read the following report, which was adopted :
We, your committee appointed to arrange for Summer Assembly
on the coast, beg leave to present the following report:
At Wrightsville Beach we have secured Assembly Hall, second
floor of Oceanic Hotel. Hotels, boarding houses and, for those want-
ing cheaper rates, portable houses offer ample accommodation for
all who will attend.
Facilities for transportation from Union Station to beach are as

nearly perfect as possible. The Tidewater Power Company has made
special concessions.
Arrangements have been made for financing the first year's
program.
We would recommend that a committee be appointed to decide
upon time of meeting, arrange program, advertise and attend to all
details necessary to make the Assembly a success.
Respectfully submitted, J. H. Foster,
For the Committee.
The President appointed J. J. Hurt to take the place of
]ST. B. Broughton on this committee.
J. J. Hall, of Atlanta, Secretary of the Southern Branch
of the American Peace Society, read the following resolution,
which was adopted :
RESOLUTION ON PEACE AND WAR.
Whereas, nine nations, representing more than one-half of the
world's population, are now engaged in the most terrible war of
the ages, killing hundreds of thousands of human beings, causing
tens of thousands of helpless women to wander about homeless and
penniless, and millions of innocent children to be orphans; reducing
to ashes historic and once beautiful towns; taking from the world's
finances and the avenues of constructive trade $50,000,000 daily;
engendering hatred, bitterness and revenge; hindering the church
of Jesus Christ in all of her missionary and educational enterprises;
therefore be it resolved:
1. That we condemn and are utterly opposed to the militarism
that stands behind this awful carnage, which, disregarding the sa-
credness of human life and the rights of the people, makes its ap-
peal to the sword, the mine, the aeroplane, and the cannon, rather
than to reason and justice and the teaching of the New Testament.
2. That we believe that international difficulties ought to be set-
tled by law rather than by force; that might does not make right;
that war should never be resorted to until all peaceful methods have
been exhausted.
3. That we commend our government for its high moral standard
upon international matters; the fine self-restraint in our relations
with all nations, and the twenty-eight treaties affected with other
governments by our Secretary of State looking toward the preven-
tion of war.
4. That we do not believe that the terrible war now raging calls
upon us to imitate the old world in its colossal preparations for
war, but rather appeals to the United States of America to show
all nations a better way: the way of justice to all; the way of
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 75
actual democracy, where the people rule; the way of the gospel of
Jesus Christ.
5. That we recognize with devout gratitude the near approach
of the anniversary of one hundred years of peace between Great
Britain and the United States, and hope this peace may be unbroken
through all the coming years.
6. That while we would encourage the organization of peace so-
cieties in cities and States, we believe that the call comes with no
uncertain sound to the Church of the living God, bidding her to
bestir herself, to see her responsibility as the representative of
Jesus Christ among the nations; reminding her that only through
suffering love can the world be redeemed, her tears wiped away, and
the curse of war forever removed.

referred to a committee of fifteen :
A SIMPLER PLAN.
Whereas, the work of the Baptist State Convention has multiplied
and increased till it has become confusing to some and difficult to
carry out a program without neglecting or rushing through im-
portant matters; and, whereas, many things that take up the time
of the Convention may be omitted without loss to the objects of the
Convention; and, whereas, the program may be shortened and sim-
plified; therefore be it resolved:
1. That the work of the Convention be divided into three classes,
viz.: Missions, Education, and Social Service.
76 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
2. That the Convention elect annually three Boards to be known
as the State Board of Missions and Sunday Schools, the Board of
Education, the Board of Social Service.
3. That the work of the Board of Missions and Sunday Schools
shall be conducted as in the past. The Board of Education shall
have charge of the educational work of the Baptist State Conven-
tion and the Board of Social Service shall have charge of the work
of the Convention of a social nature.
4. That these Boards shall make report of the work done during
the year at each annual session of the Convention, and that no
other reports bearing on these subjects shall be made by individuals,
provided any member of the Convention may have a right to offer
an amendment to the report of any Board when it is presented to
the Convention.
5. That these Boards shall have their reports printed and ready
for distribution on the first day of the Convention.
6. That the time of the Convention shall be divided between
these Boards and that they shall alternate, that is, the Board report-
ing first this year will report last next year, provided there shall
be an hour of sixty minutes given to miscellaneous business each
day of the Convention.
7. That each Board may divide its report into sub-divisions ac-
cording to the subjects covered and designate a speaker to lead the
discussion who shall not consume more than half the time as-
signed to the subject.
8. That, if there should arise a question at any time as to which
Board should undertake any specific work of the Convention, it shall
be referred to the Convention for settlement.
9. That the Board of Education and the Board of Social Service
shall consist of fifteen members each, and that not more than three
members of any one Board shall come from one Association.
10. That no person shall be a member of more than one of these
three Boards at the same time.
11. That these Boards shall hold at least two regular meetings
each year and that the failure of any member to attend both of
these meetings, except on account of sickness, shall disqualify him
from membership on either one of these Boards the following year.
12. That the Board of Education shall be located in Durham,
X. C, and the Board of Social Service shall be located in Greens-
boro, N. C.

and no additional program for the first meeting shall be arranged,
and all regular officers of this Convention shall be nominated and
elected by the Convention without the appointment of a nominating
committee.
M. L. Kesler offered the following resolutions, which were
adopted :
Whereas, the reports of the various Secretaries and Boards of
institutions are received by the Convention as information and
spread on its Minutes, be it resolved:
1. That the custom of appointing an extra committee to write
another report on the same object be discontinued.
2. That the respective Boards appoint a speaker to open the dis-
cussion of each subject, the appointments to be made each year for
the year following.

Blanchard, viz. :
78 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
REPORT ON WOMAN'S WORK.
Your committee was appointed too late to secure data for bring-
ing its report up to date. Our statement will, therefore, refer to
the reports of the Woman's Annual Meeting in March, 1914. Let
it be understood in the outset that your committee would refrain
from any appearance of counseling the sisterhood in their kingdom
service. It were well if we could bring our entire brotherhood to
sit at their feet and learn the secret of their wonderful progress
and achievements in their undertakings. In apostolic days our wom-
en were consoled, "If they would know anything of the workings
of the kingdom to inquire of their own husbands at home." It is
a fact, too well established in our day, that if our men would know
much about the working of the church at home or abroad they
would have to be taught it by their own wives at home. Also it is
too often true that the good Christian wife has to use tact and
strategem to hold the attention of her Christian husband long
enough to tell him of the great things, so familiar to herself, which
burden her heart and tax her resources in trying to answer the
reasonable calls of the kingdom. We are loath to confess that we
are so blind to the fact that our women are leading us in their de-
votion to the study of the divine call to the task, and in their prac-
tical service and sacrifice to bring about the redemption of the lost
world.
It is evident, from a study of their working methods, that our
churches could learn of them the solvent of many of their knotty
problems. They now hold an exclusive right of way in many essen-
tial claims of church activity, and yet they always invite our fullest
fellowship in it all. Their organization alone appreciates the im-
portance of keeping abreast with the great developments of the
world-field by mission study classes and special programs of a cul-
tural nature in their regular monthly meetings. No other organi-
zation of the church holds regular monthly prayer service for defi-
nite features of the work. They also hold stated weeks of prayer
for definite mission fields and workers.
They alone have assumed the responsibility of organizing into
active bands all the younger element of the churches for purposes
of systematic training and Christian activity. Our women are regu-
lar and generous in their sacrifices to the world-call for the gospel,
and no less practical and efficient in loqal evangelical and social
service. In our State they probably control less than one-hundredth
part of the wealth of the churches, but they lay on the altar more
than one-third of their gifts.
One great reason of their constant, amazing and growing strength
lies in the fact that they do not haggle the principles of democracy
as our men are sometimes wont to do. They do not cringe with
fear of losing their personal liberty in the Lord's work by assum-
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 79
ing definite tasks and distributing the same among each other for
execution. The word apportion does not flaunt before them the
terror of a frowning ecclesiastical Lord over their liberty, and they
accept the only true interpretations of a religious democracy as
being a body in love with a great principle, impelled by a divine
call to duty, limiting all their own actions and service, to the com-
mon good of the cause they would serve. We commend their mu-
tual confidence in service and the regard they hold for the au-
thority over them of a method they have adopted for conserving
the best interest of their organization.
They reported at their last annual meeting 1,072 societies in the
State, an addition of 206 during the previous year. They have a
fixed standard of excellence which is not simply a quasi statement
of ideals, but a mark of development toward which it is expected
that every society will strive to attain unto. They persistently
teach and urge the adoption of the Christian law of stewardship,
and therefore, as might be expected, the most of the church's tithers
are found among them. Notwithstanding their goal of service is
always fixed very high it is the exception if they fail to reach it
and more often to transcend it in real attainments.
During 1913 the Baptist women of our State raised more than
$40,000 for the Convention's work. For the year soon to close they
set as their goal $42,535. It is not to be doubted that in spite of the
depressing conditions of the times they will raise it.
Our women generously turn over all their treasure to our boards
for disbursement, and constantly pray for our discovery of new
fields and new work for them to do.
We are now constrained to close with a Pauline appeal to the
men of our Convention to "help these women which labor with us
in the gospel."
We recommend that a larger provision be made for the considera-
tion of their work in our District Association.

TV H. Reddish read the report on Home Missions, viz. :
REPORT OX HOME MISSIONS.
The Home Mission Board is located at Atlanta, Georgia, and is
composed of the secretaries of its various departments, fifteen local
members, and a Vice-President in each State cooperating with the
Southern Baptist Convention. These members and officers of the
Board are elected annually by the Southern Baptist Convention.
The last conventional year was one of great achievements. The
receipts for the year were $418,865. The number of converts and
baptisms exceeded anything heretofore reported for one year, there
having been 30,861 baptisms, making the total addition to our
churches 56,747.
The work of the Board, for convenience and for the highest de-
gree of efficiency, has been divided into departments of Enlistment,
Cooperative Work, Mountain School Work, Evangelism, Church
Building, Work Among Foreigners, Negroes, in Canal Zone, and the
Department of Publicity.
ENLISTMENT.
This department was instituted in July, 1912, and from the very
first has not lacked for a great and inspiring field. Of the 25,000
Baptist churches in the Southern Baptist Convention more than
20,000 are rural, and not fewer than 18,000 of these meet for wor-
ship only once a month. On any given Sunday over 14,000, more
than half of our churches, are not open for preaching service.
Through the efforts of this department the once a month churches
are brought to twice a month preaching, a more adequate support
for the pastors is secured, churches are inspired to build good par-
sonages and erect suitable houses of worship, churches are formed
into pastoral fields, every-member canvasses are conducted for
church and mission support, and Sunday Schools are stimulated
into greater activity.
( n-OPEHATIVE WORK.
The Home Mission Board enjoys a close, helpful and vital rela-
tionship to the State Mission Boards, the District Associations, and
the individual churches. In States where the State Board has been
weak and without adequate support, the Home Board has always
worked directly and continuously to hold up the hands of the State
Board to the end that it might attain strength to dominate its terri-
tory for Christ. The Board is at this time cooperating with most
MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 81
of the States in supporting missionary pastors, enlistment workers,
and in addition it is cooperating with the National Baptist Con-
vention in evangelizing and training the negro race; each agency
furnishing part of the money.
MOUNTAIN SCHOOL WORK.
This mountain region in which the Board is doing school work
comprises 176 counties in seven States, and has an area of 76,000
square miles, embracing a portion of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and Kentucky.
Among this sturdy Anglo-Saxon people the Board has thirty-four
schools with 156 teachers and 5,218 pupils. In these schools last
year there were 309 professions of faith in Christ. This work has
been prosperous and satisfactory from the start, and has never been
in better condition than at present. The attention of the Board
at this time is being attracted to the Ozarks, which in Arkansas,
Missouri and Northeastern Oklahoma have a white population one-
third as great as that of the Southern Appalachians. A school in
Arkansas is in process of formation, a beginning in a new and ready
field.
EVANGELISM.
This department was organized in 1906. It has twenty-nine
evangelists at this time who are winning thousands of souls to
Christ. Last year's work resulted in 8,414 baptisms, 1,120 volun-
teers for the ministry and mission work, and 12,248 additions to the
churches. These evangelists hold meetings in cities, towns, coun-
try districts, mountains and in mining camps with marvelous re-
sults. The great campaign last winter in Louisiana was so signally
blessed that the Baptist work in that great State has been placed
forever upon higher ground.
The general effect of this department in all the South has been
exceedingly helpful, putting our evangelism upon a higher plane.
CHURCH BUILDING.
The Southern Baptist Convention in 1912 ordered the Home Board
to undertake the raising of a million-dollar church building loan
fund and employ such agencies as might be necessary to accomplish
the result. In 1913, seventy-three houses of worship were built by
the aid of this department, while the fund has continued to grow
steadily and encouragingly. There are in the bounds of the South-
ern Baptist Convention 3,689 churches without houses of worship.
One Baptist church in seven has no house of worship. With re-
turns incomplete from several States, the number of dilapidated
buildings totaled 4,137. Combining these with the unhoused
churches, there are 7,999 churches which need aid in erecting ade-
6
82 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
quate houses of worship. This condition should arouse every loyal
Baptist and bring forth a liberal response.
WORK AMONG FOREIGNERS.
A million or more immigrants come to our shores annually, and
about 300,000 of these foreigners return to their native land every
year. What an opportunity this gives us to preach the gospel to
the ends of the earth! There are about 3,500,000 foreigners in the
territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. About two-thirds of
these people are nominally Roman Catholics, know nothing of our
history, our institutions and our religion. Roman Catholicism is
openly boasting its purpose to take America, and it hardly takes
the trouble to conceal that it means to overthrow religious liberty
and subvert American institutions, and so to this end they would
encourage the ignorant immigrant to come to our country. When
the European war is over there will be larger numbers coming to
us from that devastated country than have ever been known to come
from that quarter of the world. Because of the advantages offered
by the Panama Canal, the agricultural and mining sections of the
South; and, further, because of the continuous call from our cities
and towns as well as from the rural districts for more laborers,
the larger portion of them will locate in the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention. Then let us lengthen the cords and strengthen
the stakes of the Home Board for this mighty and God-given task.
THE INDIANS.
There are about 330,000 Indians in America and 100,000 of them
are in Oklahoma, where the Board has eighteen missionaries at
work. We were the first people to take the gospel to the Indians,
and from the very beginning of our work the blessings of God have
been upon our efforts, and our churches among these people were
never in a better condition than at this time. Yet the forces upon
this great field should be strengthened, that we may bring as quickly
as possible all these people to Christ.
THE NEGROES.
There are about 9,500,000 negroes in the South, and 2,400,000 are
members of Baptist churches. The Board, in cooperation with the
National Convention, is helping to support forty colored missionary
evangelists and also a few teachers and negro schools. This co-
operation has been helpful to both races. We feel that as the Board
grows in financial strength it should enlarge its work among these
people who afford us such vast opportunities for service and to
whom we have a great and God-given mission.
CUBA.
There are about 2,000,000 inhabitants in Cuba who are nominally
Catholics. The Board began work upon this field in 188G, and we
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 83
now have upon the island forty missionaries, twenty-seven organ-
ized churches with 1,818 members, and twenty-six other preaching
points. Our college and other day schools, as well as our churches
and Sunday Schools, are in a prosperous condition.
THE CANAL ZONE.
Southern Baptists in 1905 opened a mission on this field, being
the first people to begin a mission work there. God has added his
blessings to all our efforts at that place. Now that the canal is
opened and the number of workmen greatly reduced, the number
of preaching points will also be reduced. Yet larger and better
equipped church buildings are demanded in order to accommodate
the people who will be stationed there to operate the canal, to man
the fortifications at the terminals, to police and look after the gen-
eral upkeep of the zone.
THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLICITY.
This department seeks to put Home Mission facts in the minds
and hearts of all Southern Baptists. Tracts upon all the depart-
ments of the work can be had free by asking for them. The Home
Field is second to no journal of its kind in all the land, and should
be in every Baptist home in the South. This department has pro-
duced two books that deserve special commendation, "The Home
Mission Task" and "Baptist Home Missions."
Christian Science and Russellism are being preached and taught
from one end of our country to the other; books and tracts are to
be had free and without number. The Unitarians, the Universal-
ists, the Mormons, and the Seventh Day Adventists also belong to
that class that are spreading doctrines in our midst that would
take Christ away from us as Saviour and Lord and only leave Him
as an example, and some of them not even that. The unwise and
over-emphasis that is being laid on some of the social service pro-
grams, a good thing in itself but often given the wrong relative ac-
cent, is becoming dangerous to our people. They are saying in
effect that man's duty to man takes precedence over man's duty to
God. To obtain the social mind and to become in harmony with
the social order is sufficient without the blood of the Christ. They
talk much about the life that now is but little about the life that is
to come. Their talk about the life that now is is in terms of science
and philosophy and not in terms of spiritual life and power. The
Home Board with its literature stands four-square against all false
doctrines, and gives to the world light and truth.
The apportionment for the fiscal year is $461,250. North Caro-
lina's portion is $40,000, and while this is an increase of $7,290
over what we raised last year, yet it should be in our easy reach.
In this time of financial depression let us show ourselves a people
having faith in God, a people of superb courage and fidelity. Let

determination that will secure success.

C. E. Brewer read the following report on the Laymen's
Movement :
THE LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT.
We have first of all to record the death of Bro. N. B. Broughton,
a member of this committee ever since it was first appointed. In
doing this we wish to bear testimony to his unfailing interest in
the work of this committee, to the invaluable services he rendered
it, and to the rare spirit of devotion and sacrifice he manifested in
this sphere of usefulness as in so many others.
The aim of the Laymen's Movement is to increase the efficiency
of the membership of our churches in the management of the affairs
of the kingdom. In trying to reach this end we recognize the fol-
lowing essentials:
1. Organization. This is an age of cooperation. Tasks now are
too great and programs are too extended for unaided individual
effort. The ideal before us is to organize every unit of our denomi-
nation from the Southern Baptist Convention to the individual
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 85
church. We are glad to reoprt an aggressive campaign by an in-
telligent and alert committee of the Southern Baptist Convention
operating in the territory of that organization. Each State Con-
vention has its committee at work with a view to the organization
of each association, and through that body to reach each church
within its bounds.
2. Study. Permanent success and uninterrupted progress in such
a movement as this depend upon the intelligence as well as upon
the consecration of our constituency— on the diffusion of knowledge
as to the affairs of the kingdom. Our brethren, even though they
are Christians, cannot control their church affairs in the most
efficient manner unless they are acquainted with approved methods.
They will not be interested in missions unless they know missions.
We commend all our Boards for the efforts they are making to give
needed information in regard to the various activities of our de-
nomination and for using efficiency-workers to point the way.
3. Standard. Men differ widely in their views as to the proper
standard of Christian devotion and consecration. This applies to
their personal service as well as to their contributions of money.
It. is not proposed here to attempt to harmonize divergent views of
duty, but to call attention to one that is being accepted by increas-
ing numbers of our members, namely, the tithe as a minimum
standard of giving. This gives us an ideal to reach without limit-
ing any who may wish to go beyond it. Some ought to give more
than the tenth. Many do give more than this. Tithers find joy
in systematic and proportionate giving and rarely backslide.
4. Inspiration. The Holy Spirit is the source of our inspiration.
He comes upon individuals. He comes also upon companies as in
Jerusalem on the day of Pentecost. Our method is to get our men
together for conference and inspiration. Discussions clarify. Ex-
changes of experiences and observations encourage the faint-hearted,
confirm the consistent and conscientious worker, lead to the formu-
lation of wholesome resolutions and the erection of new and worthy
standards. For these reasons the mission rally is not only desirable
but necessary.
Acting on these general principles, your committee has made
special effort to organize the work in the several associations, urg-
ing each one to appoint a committee from among its own men to
look after this interest of Our Convention, to report annually to the
Association with needed recommendations. We have encouraged
the holding of rallies in as many churches as possible, the organi-
zation of mission study classes for men and the formation of tithing
bands. The response to our appeals in these directions has been
encouraging, but there is yet much to be achieved in these particu-
lars.
An event of special interest during the year was the Men's Con-
86 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
vention held March 17 to 19 in the city of Durham. It was a suc-
cess beyond our most sanguine expectations. The enrollment was
not only large but representative of all sections of our State. Men
from all walks in life were there. There were farmers, merchants,
preachers, educators, manufacturers, lawyers, bankers, editors, phy-
sicians, traveling men, and representatives from other callings
present. The total registration, not counting anyone from Durham,
was 361.
The program proved to be suggestive and helpful; the addresses
were well conceived and inspirational; the fellowship was unique
and elevating; the results, we believe, will prove to be a permanent
blessing. The hospitality of the good people of Durham and the
atmosphere they threw around the Convention were all that could
have been desired. Men in all walks of life contributed nobly and
unselfishly to the success of the meeting and its program. Our
thanks are due and are hereby extended to every one who took part.
Speakers from our own State rendered distinguished service. Four
brethren from abroad were there and placed us under obligations
to them for the great assistance they rendered; Dr. J. T. Hender-
son, Chairman of the Laymen's Movement Committee of the South-
ern Baptist Convention; President E. M. Poteat, of Furman Uni-
versity; Dr. B. D. Gray, of the Home Mission Board, and Dr. W. H.
Smith, of the Foreign Mission Board. Mention ought to be made
of the superb work done by Bro. John Jeter Hurt as Chairman of
the Publicity Committee, and by Dr. Hubert McNeill Poteat as
leader of the music.
The success of this meeting shows that there is a field for such
a convention of Baptists in North Carolina. Indeed such gather-
ings seem to present an unparalleled opportunity to develop and
unify our forces. It is the opinion of your committee that a Men's
Convention in this State should be held at least once in two years.
We respectfully make the following recommendations:
1. That each church be requested to provide for mission study
for men. We suggest the appointment of a committee in each
church to cooperate with the pastor in arranging for this exercise
at convenient periods.
2. That each church be requested to appoint a committee on effi-
ciency to make an every-member canvass- at the beginning of the
year with a view to securing systematic and symmetrical contribu-
tions both for church expenses and benevolence, and to devise ways
and means of enabling it to meet its obligations to its own com-
munity and to the kingdom at large.
3. That the tithe be accepted as the minimum standard of giving
and that we encourage the formation of tithing bands.
4. That each association be asked to provide the necessary com-
mittee or committees to bring these matters to the attention of
each church within its bounds.
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 87
The report was discussed by C. E. Brewer, C. J. Thomp-
son, T. W. Chambliss, B. Cade, C. H. Norris, K. E. White,
C. A. Upchurch and J. F. Love, and adopted.
The following Laymen's Committee for the ensuing year
was elected: C. E. Brewer, F. P. Hobgood, and B. D. Cald-
well.
The following report, submitted by A. E. Brown, was or-
dered to be spread on the Minutes :
To the North Carolina State Convention.
I submit a report of the nine mountain schools which are located
in North Carolina.
In these nine schools there were last session 1,634 students. Five
hundred and one of these were boarding students. There were em-
ployed in these schools 48 teachers.
The fall term of the present session shows 1,152 students enrolled,
581 of whom are boarding students, and that we had 52 teachers
employed.
Since the last report the following improvements have been made:
Mountain View Institute has finished the Kilby Home for Girls
at a cost, including furnishings, of $7,500. This building represents
largely the contribution of Mr. J. S. Kilby and wife. This school
has now under construction an administration building which will
cost about $7,000 when completed. The school owns about fifty
acres of land.
At Round Hill Academy an indebtedness, which has been hanging
over the school for some years, has been partially removed and a
new boys' dormitory erected at a cost of $3,000.
At Fruitland Institute a new administration building is under
course of construction which will cost about $10,000.
At the Yancey Institute a new boys' dormitory has been erected.
This gives two buildings for boys. The new building is equipped
with many of the modern conveniences, and represents largely the
liberality of Mr. E. F. Watson.
At the Haywood Institute about $500 has been spent in improving
the buildings, which included the painting of the Wilkins' Home
for Girls and reflooring the old part of the administration build-
ing and other improvements, which have added much to the con-
venience as well as to the appearance of the plant.
At Sylva Institute about $1,000 was spent for improvements dur-
ing the vacation. Only about one-half of this has been paid for.
These improvements have greatly improved appearances at this
school.
At the Murphy Institute we have introduced rug weaving and
88 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
truck farming. These features were introduced with a double pur-
pose of assisting pupils in making their way and giving them some
practical training.
At Mars Hill College, through the kindness of Rev. O. E. Sams'
congregation at Lynchburg, Va., arrangements have been made for
a new boys' dormitory. This dormitory will enable us to board
about fifty more students under the personal care and supervision
of the teachers of the school.
J. M. Arnette submitted the report of the Ministers' Relief
Board and the Treasurer's report, viz. :
REPORT OF BAPTIST MINISTERS' RELIEF BOARD.
In a great speech before this Convention at Winston-Salem on
"Why the Ministers' Relief Board" Dr. Chas. E. Brewer said, "As
long as there are men upon the firing line the ambulance corps shall
be needed." Hence this Board does not come with the report of a
finished work, nor does it claim that the "beginning of the end"
is in sight. Five new names of those recently upon the firing line
have been added to the list of beneficiaries this year. There are
applications at every meeting of the Board, and we may expect this
work to assume larger and larger proportions. First, because
preachers' salaries have not increased in proportion to the high
cost of living. Second, because there are larger demands upon the
preacher's income than ever before. In the third place, because
more of our ministers than ever before are giving their entire time
to preaching the gospel. This means that they cannot so easily
make a living, when they shall have reached that age when they
are no longer wanted as pastors, as the preacher who has com-
bined preaching and farming or preaching and some other occupa-
tion all the while.
It is the recognized purpose of this Board that no Baptist min-
ister in North Carolina, who has come to want because of having
given his life to preaching the gospel, shall suffer when age or af-
fliction comes upon him. But we ought to have a larger purpose
than simply to care for those falling upon the "firing line," as noble
as such a purpose is. This Board ought more and more to be an
appeal and a pledge to those just enlisting to go to the front. It
ought to be an inspiration to the young preacher of today. Our
sympathy and our contributions for this work ought to be such as
to move the young preacher to put himself and all his powers into
the work of the ministry, realizing that if want shall come because
of his full consecration to the work the denomination is pledged
to keep "the wolf from his door." Thirty-seven beneficiaries have
received aid this year. Only one has died since last Convention,
though they usually fall like autumn leaves. Five thousand and
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 89
eight dollars and fifty-two cents has been contributed for the sup-
port of this work. This is nearly $500 less than last year, because
there has been no pressing appeal, no special cry of need, and no
representative in the field. We hope that the Christmas offering
this year may be much larger than ever before. Brethren, think
of yourselves as "in the shoes" of these old preachers — shoes that
pinch and let the frost bite — then present the cause in a worthy
way and take an offering at or near Christmas. But we earnestly
plead that this offering be not allowed to interfere with the amount
of the regular offering to this object. If the Christmas offering be
used to pay the church's pledge for this work the work is likely
to lose rather than gain.

M. L. Kesler, for the Committee on Social Service, sub-
mitted the following report :
REPORT OP COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL SERVICE.
Your Committee on Social Service, appointed by resolution of the
last State Convention, begs leave to submit the following report:
We believe that our Convention, as an organized body of Chris-
tian people, should take a deep and abiding interest in the complete
welfare of our entire commonwealth. This interest is coining to be
expressed technically as "Social Service." You may prefer calling
it Christianity applied to life and conditions about us. By whatever
name the work must be done.
Social betterment should not be considered a by-product of Chris-
tianity, but a direct product, on the principle that "faith without
works is dead." The Baptists of North Carolina should take a
leading interest in such work, first for the reason that we have
more people within the range of our life than any other denomina-
tion; and also for the reason that it is demanded by our State Mis-
sion ideals. If every neighborhood and hamlet should hear our
gospel, even so should every phase of our State's life feel the appli-
cation of its power.
Nor is it in any way a new conception of religion that we present.
Christ Himself, healing the sick, rebuking wickedness in high
places, and relieving human distress in every form, set the first
great example of social service, and those who assert that preaching
alone completely fulfils the church's mission deny the power of the
MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 91
example of the Son of God Himself. It is a dangerous and deaden-
ing heresy. That law and culture alone will renew society is but
the other end of the same heresy. It is the duty of the Baptists to
combat both.
North Carolina Baptists have already made an enviable record in
caring for dependent children, and in temperance reform. They are
also interesting themselves in prison reform, peace movement, and
the improvement of conditions affecting child workers. Now that
our battle line may cover the whole front of our life we would make
the following recommendations:
1. That, in addition to our service to helpless children, we under-
take the study of our duty to the widow, which is the other wing of
our orphanage work, "the fatherless and the widow" forming our
golden text. There is great waste in taking the child from the
widow in good health able to work and worthy in life. Not only can
she care for the child with least cost, but this sacred circle and
motherhood obligation should not be violated. In some States, wid-
ows are pensioned by the State. We are not ready to recommend
this. But the apostles in the early days did recommend that deacons
be appointed and this was suggested as one of their clearly denned
duties. We may not be able at once to make suggestions in detail,
but we plead for a return to this early form of applied Christianity
and would leave it on the hearts of this Convention to be taken up
again.
2. That as pastors and churches we cooperate in every proper way
with the Anti-Saloon League in suppressing the whiskey traffic, open-
ing our churches on proper occasions to its representatives, always
with the clear understanding that there shall be no partisan political
significance in such addresses.
3. That we urge our pastors and other church workers to take more
active interest in the North Carolina Conference for Social Service,
an organization representing Christians in all denominations which
is grappling with many great problems and consistently insisting
that social service must not be divorced from church activity but
given to the world as the expression of the Christ-spirit.
4. Remembering the example of the Master in healing all manner
of suffering, we suggest that our churches as far as practicable in-
terest themselves in health betterment through visiting nurses
sanitary reforms, and enlisting the people in God's name in the war
against the great white plague and all forms of disease.
5. That we encourage "Social Center" work, such as has been in-
augurated by the Tabernacle Church in Raleigh, thereby furnishing
wholesome conditions of life for working girls and students who
come as undefended strangers within the gates of our cities and
larger towns, demanding in their new and strange environment the
loving guardianship of the church and Christian people.
92 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
6. As a means of carrying light to thousands who now sit in
intellectual darkness in our State, and as a means of opening the
Bible to thousands to whom it must otherwise remain forever
closed, we urge that our churches and Sunday Schools, reverting to
ancient custom, arrange everywhere to lend aid to the present cam-
paign for moonlight schools and other means of educating grown
men and women now unable to read the Word of God.
7. Finally, we recommend that a Committee on Social Service be
made one of the permanent committees of this Convention.

The report was discussed by M. L. Kesler, Clarence Poe,

The following resolution, offered by W. L. Poteat, was

J. A. Campbell read the following report on Temperance:
REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON TEMPERANCE.
Never in the history of our country have temperance lovers had
so much to give them heart. There was a time when they were
laughed at by the whiskey people, when public opinion made it hard
to be a devout advocate of temperance legislation. Because of this,
many of those who sought political honors were afraid to advocate
temperance men and measures. That day is passed.
In our. State no man can hope to be elected to any place of honor
and trust, by any political party, if he shall advocate the whiskey
business. We thank God for this change in public opinion and for
all men and all agencies that have helped in bringing in this glorious
day.
We rejoice that this same spirit is spreading rapidly throughout
our nation and the blessed hope of nation-wide prohibition at an
early day is the cheering outlook for us. In 1906 there were only
three States in the prohibition column — Maine, Kansas, and North
Dakota. Today there are fourteen States in which we have prohibi-
MINUTES OF SESSION 1914. 93
tion, five of which have been added during this year. These States
have a population of twenty million people, about one-fifth of the
population of our entire country. Many other States have much dry
territory. Several more States are to vote on the question in the
near future and the prospects are for certain victory in nearly every
one of them.
The war in Europe, and the action of Russia, Germany, France and
England in opposition to the use of liquor by their men in the field,
the pronouncement of Russia that no further intoxicants shall be
manufactured or sold in that country, give powerful impetus to the
prohibition work in our own country.
Industrial enterprises have given a tremendous blow to the whis-
key business by putting a premium on labor done by sober people.
The Medical Society of North Carolina and the ablest men in the
medical world everywhere have helped along our cause by dealing
death blows to the whiskey business. Let us take heart, but let
us not be overconfident. The whiskey people are on the run. God
is with us and now is our time to press the battle. There is much
that each of us can do singlehanded and alone in helping to save
our fellowmen from the curse of whiskey, but there are many
things in which we must cooperate. The fight is for God and
men, and we must seek His help and their help. We need to pray
and pay, to plan and to perform, to vote for men and measures
needed in ridding our nation of this greatest curse.
We recommend:
First, that all our people who can do so shall attend the conven-
tion of temperance people to be held in Raleigh, January 13-14, 1915.
Second, that we give hearty endorsement to the work of the Anti-
Saloon League in our State and nation, pledging ourselves loyally
to support the work.
Third, that we petition the next Legislature of North Carolina to
enact such legislation as shall prohibit the shipment of liquor into
our State.
Fourth, that we petition our representatives in Congress to use
their best endeavors to secure the passage of the Sheppard-Hobson
bill now pending in Congress.
Fifth, that this Convention appoint a committee of three to pre-
sent these petitions to the proper committees in our Legislature and
in our national Congress.
Respectfully submitted,

Resolved, That this Convention express its high appreciation of the
services of Rev. O. L. Stringfield as Assistant Superintendent of the
Anti-Saloon League, and that it commend his services to the churches
of the Convention.

terest of temperance legislation: Livingston Johnson, O. L.
Stringfield, and W. L. Poteat.
The following resolution was offered by J. T. Kiddick, and
was adopted :
Whereas, We believe that the public welfare demands a more
careful scrutiny of the history of those endeavoring to procure
license to be married; and whereas, we, as ministers of the Gospel of
Christ, must be governed by the Scriptures concerning the marriage
of divorced parties; and whereas, we earnestly desire to conserve the
interests of the State as they are bound up with the Christian home:
Therefore, resolved. That we respectfully request the General As-
sembly of North Carolina to meet in January, 1915, to so amend the
statute prescribing the form of marriage license as to require under
oath from the person applying for license, the condition of those to
be married, condition to be answered by the word "single," the word
"widow," the word "divorced," as the case may demand: and in case
the answer is "divorced," to require a statement of the ground on
which the divorce was procured in the legal term applicable, and
the State and county in which and the time at which procured.
Respectfully, J. T. Riddick.
Edward Long gave notice that he would offer a change in
the Constitution a year hence to the effect that the officers be

vention.
W. A. Smith presented the following report on Obituaries,
which was adopted:
REPORT ON OBITUARIES.
Since our last Convention many of our brethren and sisters have
gone to their reward. Twenty-two of our preachers and many of our
MINUTES OF SESSION 19H- 95
deacons and leading laymen, and sisters and mothers in Israel, not
a few, have passed over the river. Some of these have been promi-
nent in the affairs of the Kingdom and their loss is keenly felt by
this body. Others, not so prominent and widely known, have
wrought well in their respective churches and communities and are
sorely missed there.
In this obituary list, there are not a few whose lives and works
deserve lengthy mention. Your committee, however, recognizes the
fact that, with the limited space allowed, the briefest mention of
many must suffice. Their record is in heaven. They rest now from
their labors and their works do follow them.

counties, Rev. T. J. Moss died at his home in Forest City, North

deal of evangelistic work among the churches of his section.
Rev. Martin J. Leach, of Lassiter's Mill, Randolph County, died
sometime in May. He was about fifty years of age when he began

Associational Statistics
Names of churches having preaching every Sunday are printed in small caps; those having preach ng two Sun
days each month are printed in italics. Some Associations give no data on these points. Inquiry has been made, as
far as time would permit, to secure this information. The total contributions ot the entire church (including Sunday
School, Woman's Missionary Society, Sunbeams, etc.) are meant to be included for the various objects indicated. For
the figures herewith submitted the Statistical Secretary is chiefly and gratefully indebted to the clerks of the respective
Associations.
The lateness of the arrival of many of these reports renders accuracy and completeness impossible.

Statistical Summary
The average reader has not the time to study statistical tables in
detail. I venture here to summarize the facts of the preceding pages
as nearly as we can in a short space.
In closing this my seventh annual report as Statistical Secretary,
I wish again to thank the busy men as clerks and pastors for their
cooperation. I have used such information as was furnished by
associational clerks. Many of these reports came in during the last
days of November, rendering completeness impossible. I failed to
get reports from the clerks of the Alleghany, Brunswick, Brier
Creek, Elkin, Liberty-Ducktown, Stony Fork, and Surry Associa-
tions. All these except the Brier Creek and Surry were a year be-
hind in the last report. I use 1913 data for them.
In all Associations reporting before November 20 we sent urgent
appeals and return post cards to churches which did not report. We
sent out letters to nearly 400 such churches, and have received re-
plies from 170 of these. Of course this adds to completeness and
accuracy. Surely there are many errors, but we have striven ear-
nestly to secure full and correct reports.
These facts are taken from associational reports. These close at
dates from May to November, while the Convention year closes No-
vember 30th. Surely then no one would expect the amounts reported
in the statistical tables to be the same as in Treasurer Durham's
annual report.
AGGREGATES.
There are on the rolls of the 64 Associations, 2,093 churches. By
using data for 1913 from seven Associations named above and from
74 chuches in other Associations, we report a membership of
256,599. There are 29 other churches carried on associational rolls
that have not reported membership in from two to seven years.
These possibly have a membeship of 1,500. The reported gain in
membership is 11,060, and in churches 39.
It has been a great year in baptisms. There were reported 14,716,
a gain of 1,452 over last year, which was the largest to date. In
737 churches no baptisms were reported. If these had come to the
average of others, there would have been over 22,000 baptisms. It
ought to be said that many churches not reporting baptisms are
among the largest in membership.
The amount reported for Convention objects is as follows: State
Missions, $49,494.83; Home Missions, $32,893.62; Foreign Missions,
$51,365.09; Sunday School Missions, $3,188.54; Orphanage, $47,837.86:
Ministerial Education, $5,843.36; Ministerial Relief, $5,036.38; total,
$195,659.68. This is an aggregate gain of $5,892.97. In Sunday
ool Missions many churches report "Missions in the Sunday
School" for Sunday School Missions. In this way over $1,000 was
STATISTICAL SUMMARY. 169
reported that came into Treasurer Durham's hands for the other
Mission objects.
CONTRIBUTING AND NON-CONTRIBUTING CHURCHES.
It is well to consider "liabilities" as well as "assets." Many
churches are doing nothing for the several objects. These are "liabil-
ities" of the denomination until we induce them to cooperate with
the other churches in the larger affairs of the Kingdom. When
studying the non-contributing churches, remember I have included
therein the 74 churches whose 1913 membership was used and the 29
churches for which there is no data. It would be fair to add about
50 to each first group and subtract the same from the last.
Below we give the number of churches that gave to the several
Convention objects and those that did not. The first number is
churches contributing to the several objects and the last those re-
porting no contributions: To some Convention object, 1,744—349;
to State Missions, 1,642—451; to Home Missions, 1,461—632; to For-
eign Missions, 1,522—571; to Sunday School Missions, 588—1,505; to
Orphanage, 1,548—545; to Ministerial Education, 738—1,355; to Min-
isterial Relief, 927 — 1,166.
ASSOCIATIONS LEADING.
We give first and second place in each item. Number of churches:
Chowan and Roanoke, 60 each; Pilot Mt, 59. Membership of
churches: West Chowan, 12,537; Chowan, 10,698. Baptisms: South
Fork, 716; Pilot Mt., 690. Number of Sunday Schools: West Chowan,
67; Chowan and Roanoke, 63 each. Membership of Sunday Schools:'
West Chowan, 7,566; Mount Zion, 7,561. Contributions to State Mis-
sions: Roanoke, $4,318.35; West Chowan, $3,183.37. To Home Mis-
sions: West Chowan, $2,636.75; Mecklenburg-Cabarrus, $2,025.64;
To Foreign Missions: Central, $3,425.18; West Chowan, $3,349.19.
To Sunday School Missions: West Chowan, $259.46; Mt. Zion,
$203.46. To Orphanage: Roanoke, $3,956.21; West Chowan!
$3,927.75. To Ministerial Education: West Chowan, $500.70; Mt.
Zion, $448.82. To Ministerial Relief: Mt. Zion, $449.19; West Cho-
wan, $294.97. To all objects: West Chowan, $14,152.12; Roanoke
$13,125.76.
PER CAPITA CONTRIBUTIONS.
For all Convention objects, the per capita is 76 cents, a loss of one
cent, as compared with 1913. Fourteen Associations have averaged
over $1.00 per member as follows: Roanoke, $2.12; Central, $1.95
Pee Dee $1.81; Piedmont, $1.68; Flat River, $1.37; Robeson' $1.36
Raleigh, $1.32; Mecklenburg-Cabarrus, $1.33; Buncombe $131
Neuse-Atlantic, $1.31; Beulah, $1.25; Mt. Zion, $1.15; West Chowan,
$1.13; Eastern, $1.05. Nine other Associations averaged above the
average of the State and less than $1.00 per member as follows alpha-
betically: Bladen, 80c; Chowan, 77c; Libertv, 77c; Little River
170 A*. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION.
87c; Pilot Mt., 99c; Sandy Creek, 83c; Tar River, 82c; Wilming-
ton, 85c
OTHER AVERAGES.
Of the 2,064 churches that report membership the average is 124.
Of the 1,356 reporting baptisms the average is 11. Of the contribut-
ing churches to the Convention objects the average is as follows:
State Missions, $30.14; Home Missions, $22.51; Foreign Missions,
$33.75; Sunday School Missions, $5.42; Orphanage, $30.90; Minis-
terial Education, $7.92; Ministerial Relief, $5.43; all objects, $112.19.
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Church clerks make out the reports to the Association and often
the Sunday School Secretary fails to make his report. In this way
Sunday School data is less complete than other church data. By
securing data through return postal cards from more than 170
churches the facts are approximately correct. Last year there were
1,934 schools; this year, 2,052; a gain of 118. There are this year
111 branch schools reported. At least 75 new schools were organized.
The total membership is now 201,224; a gain of 10,443 over last year.
There seems now to be 152 churches without schools. Possibly 50
of these have suspended all public worship but have not disbanded.
Others have unreported schools. There are in fact now not over 75
churches where Sunday Schools could reasonably be organized arid
maintained. The Sunday Schools gave last year at least $40,000, be-
sides all Sunday School expenses used at home.
COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS.
There are three colleges and fifteen secondary schools owned and
controlled by the denomination. The property of these, including
endowment, is valued at $1,394,210. Last year there were 194 officers
and teachers and 3,748 pupils in these institutions. Failing to hear
from president or principal we had to use year-old data for Chowan
College, Boiling Springs School, and South Fork Institute. Besides
these 18 institutions there are six others under private control and
considered Baptist schools. They are worth over $150,000, and have
at least 45 teachers and 1,000 pupils.
woman's work.
There are now 1,072 societies actively engaged in Mission work,
this number including Woman's Missionary Societies, Young Wom-
an's Auxiliaries, Sunbeams, and Royal Ambassadors. These are in
52 Associations, and in 45 of these are Vice-Presidents to advance
and direct the work. Robeson leads in number of societies, 75 being
enlisted in active work. West Chowan reports 49; Eastern, 45; Mt.
Zion, 43.
The contributions for 1913-1914 amounted to $40,255.13. Mecklen-

$2,675.00; Mount Zion, $2,564.10; Central $2,556.73.
The following Associations contributed more than one thousand
dollars: Buncombe, $1,989.53; Chowan, $1,483.73; Eastern, $1,246.14

LIST OF ORDAINED MINISTERS
Reported Pastors Marked Thus*.
In revising this list we have used minutes for 1914 or written re-
ports from clerks from 57 Associations. In the other seven we have
tried to verify the old report, so that every Association has been
checked as nearly to date as possible. You can find many names
have not been recorded. Some associational clerks fail to give any
postoffice. The name is valueless without this. On account of
change of postoffice, deaths, ordinations, coming in of new pastors
from other states, and other changes it has required 596 corrections
to the roll of 1913.
Of course there are errors now, but we have tried faithfully to
make the list correct. Any information leading to accuracy will be
appreciated. If a minister's name fails to appear I shall be glad to
insert it if information is given. If any one is enrolled who ought
not to be there, let some one give this information also.
