Interesting Reports of the
Years's Work made by the
Various Boards.
Union special iu the Columbia
State, Dec. 10: The Baptist
convention as opened this morning
at 9 :30', with devotional ex- ,
erases, conducted by Rev. K. E.;
Neighbor.
All the reports of the boards
of the contention were submit- \
* ted and turned over to committees.
Dr. C C. Brown made
his report on the old preachers'
fund. This board has helped 50
beneficiaries to the amount of
$5,500. This board has a fund
of $4,000 as a permanent invest
ment.
Dr. J. A. Brown read the re
port on the board of ministerial
education. This board is Hiding
20 young: men, ministerial students,
in Furman university. Its
total receipts for the year wore
$989.20.
Work of Connie Maxwell orphanage
was reported by the
6uperin'endent, Rev. A. T. da
mison. During the year 226
childien have been enrolled j
The total receipts have amounted
to $23,1*8.74. Eight of the
boys and girls .rom the orphanage
are this year in various colleges
of the State pursuing courses
that lead to graduation.
The report of the State mis- j
sion board was submitted by Secretary
T. M. Bailey. The work
of this year has gone beyond that
of any preceding year. It has
employed 127 missionaries ( male i
and female), who have occupied
198 stations. There have been:
x,b&i conversions. Eighteen!
churches have been organized.
This board was instructed by the
convention to do its work the past
year on a basis of $35,000, and
at present there is a deficit of1
$5,500. It is quite probable
that, this will be raised in a few
weeks. This report makes special
mention of the great help
rendered by the ladies' missionary
societies.
The field secretary of Sunday
schools read the report of his
work. He has visited 79 churches
and conducted a number ot
Sunday school institutes.
Dr. E. C. James, president of
Greenville Female college, submitted
the report of the college
^ trustees. The need to aceom
raodate students has pressed
tliera so hardly that Miey have
purchased a building on their
own responsibility, hoping the
churches will [aid in paying for
it.
I
President Poteat ot Furmau
university read a report of the
ffcllege's work. The number of
students is 12 above last year,
making the total 202. About -10

though, is behind the amount
they set out to raise, $100,000.
