1 ATTENDANCE IS BAPTISTS FROM ALL OVER THE COUNTRY THE SECOND DAY Interesting Reports, Splendid Ad dresses Were Heard By Crowd Estimated At About 2,000 (Prom Thursday's Dally.) No meeting of tho Suluda Baptist Association has ever drawn better crowds 'than those now attending the convention which'is in session with the First Baptist church of Iva. Tho attendance for the first day was rather disappointing, but it was estimated that at least'2,000 people must have been present yesterday when the noon hour was reached. The first event on yesterday's pro gram was. tho roport on home mis sions, which was made by J. M. Paget of Anderson. lie stressed the fact that the twenty-two millions of peo ple in the south arc unchurched and said that tho church must recognize the great economic and political changes in the south and adjust it self to these changes? Following the conclusion of Mr. Paget's report, the following visitors were introduced to the body and were warmly welcomed: Dr. Ramsay-, president of Greenville Female College, Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor of the Baptist Courier and Rev. J. 3. Hood, of the Associate Reformed Pres byterian church. Rev. Dr. V. I. Masters, then made an excellent report of what he has accomplished as editor of the "Home Field" of Atlanta. According to his report, 10 years ago southern Bap tists gave $634.000 to missions. Now they give $1,000^000 above that amo'int; He "gave gratifying reports in regard to church membership in the south, saying that 40 per cent of the Anglo-Saxon citizenship of the south are Baptists. He deplored the fact that 18,000 southern churches have services only once a month.. He said that an "absentee" pastor could not 'supply tho spiritual lire for the communily as it should be supplied. Dr. Masters warned his hearers against RusselllBm and paid bis re spect to the Russell teaching in no uncertain terms. lie said also that Catholicism,* Spiritualism and'Chris tian Science were all equally corrupt. In closing Dr. Masters praised the work now being done by the Baptist training schools,'saying that there aro 34 snob schools In thfl south, with pu pils numbering more than 6,000. An able report on foreign mlsisons was furnished-.by Rev! O; A: Waters, of Pclaer. He says that better, equip ment, & better .paraonagds, better churches and better homes for the missionaries are all needed in for eign fields. He said that last year South Carolina gave' to foreign, mis sions more than her apportionment. . Rov. W. S. Wllkins came next with his report on the Layman'a work. He said that tho laymen had paid-into the treasury $25,000'-more, than. was naked of thorn. He traced the pro gress of missionary work from the days of Judson, the pioneer and said that the' Baptists of the country should feel proud of what they -have done. He begged that local congregations bo not satisfied with meeting their ap portionments for ..missions, but to do oven more. . Dr. Reeves of Honen Path read a very Interesting report of what 1b be ing accomplished by the - Woman's Missionary Union of his town and of the 'Sa hi da Association. He . pointed to the fact that they had established a scholarship" at Anderson College, whlqh was won this year by a worthy young lady of the Lebanon section, Dr. Reeves suggested that the W. M. u. Change the time of their meeting so as 'to avoid conflict with th? com mencement senson at the college. Dr. O. L. Martin then presented a very- conclusive address on the need of conversion rather than emotion In the unions. J. M. Paget was naked to explain the plan of Christian giving, as practiced In the churches of Anderson. . Hu said: that 20 per .cent of the member j had adopted the weekly offering plan and that 20 per cent .gave one-half tho church's contribution to missions. Dr. J. Ft Vines was on the program lot a report but v/as taisent. Dr. W1., T. Derieux of Greanville, secretary of the state mission board, said that he believed the Baptist ! church 'to be more thoroughly organ ized than any other protestant dono . minattcn. ' lC: - i Dr. C. B. Hurts made si splendid JtM port on b?haaf of. the. Baptists ot Columbia and Impressed ht'a hearers with his' words concerning the earn estness of purpose of Columbia Bap tlsts. ... _ . . ' .
