As regards Ad jutant General and Superintendent of Education, we are not yet informed. ttenort of Cokesbury District Con ference cn itlissious. PidlishedLy nouctf of the Conference. The Committee on Missions would present the following report: The present century has been marked by a revival of interest on this subject, At the beginning ol the last century there was not a sin gie missionary society in the world Only five were organized during the whole of that century, and the first of these was more for home than foreign evangelization. Theie are now m ?urope and America seventy Protestant missionary societies, and besides these a number of colonia: societies. Most of these societies be long to the last. fifty years, from which it may he seen that the inter est in foreign missions has of lat? been steadily increasing, and is nov far in advance of any preceding eer.' tory of modern times. Did our space permit it would b interesting to inquire at length int the causes which led to the dedin of the missionary spirit in the Chris tian Church. There was certainl no ambiguity in the commissi ya. give by Christ to his apostles, and throng them to the whole body of believer "Go ye therefore, and teach ail n; tionB, baptizing them in the ?amo c the Father, and of the Son, and < the Eely Ghost: teaching them ; observe all things whatsoever I ha\ commanded you: and lo, I am wii you always, even unto the end the world." There was nothing i the example of the apostles ar their co-laborers lut what was in a cordance with the requirements this commission, and adapted io e conrane and stimulate aggression ? the part of thr-ii successors. In co nection with the persecution whi followed the martyrdom of Stepke it is said: "They that were scatter abroad went everywhere pre*chi; the word." St. Paul's minister life was one lons persistent, effort, preach the gospel" in regions beyont L'--- Not intent, with having "preach ? , ! iipTi'mootrfw^-Arn and rou proceeding onward to Spaim^i'h was no lack of success to early r sionary labor to beget dr-ubt o: discourage activity in a ? .itary rection. St. Pani could joyfully claim, "Now, thanks be unto G which always causeth me to triun in Christ, and maketh manifest savor of His kuowledee by us every place." By tie close the first century Christian could number its adherents in ev? province of the Roman Empire: converts were to he found in evi walk cf life; among noblemen as w as among slaves; amoug soldier?, s merchants, and artisans, and hi bandmen, and even among those w were domiciled in Caesar's hou hold. What, then, led to the cc traction of the sphere, and to t / impairment ot Christian enterprh We cari do little more than menti w*hat we believe to have been t causes. First, the imperfect knov edge which then existed of the gee raphy and population of our glol The earth was supposed to be a il disc, floating uroa the water, ar the greater pa?t of this di?; w thought to bejnrludcd in the Rom* Empire. This will explain the co fidence with which the Aposti themf "es anticipated the speed conversion of the world and the sei ond coming of Christ. The prim tive Christians were not aware of tl magnitude of their work. They io agined the port to be in sight, an were tempted to take in sail, whe what they saw was but the gi earn in cloud laud of their own fancy. Th next cause was the dreadful persea tion to which the Church was sut jected by the Roman Emperor; There were ten of these in particular and so widespread were they, and R fierce and sanguinary, that the num her of believers was materially re dnced, and their benevolent opera tions more or less obstructed in even quarter of the Empire. Anothe* . cause was the union of Church anr Stale, which was consummated sou; i after the conversion of Constintine This, by opening avenues to wealtl \and power, corrupted the leaders o. the Chur h and led to a struggle ioi preferment, in place of the salvation \ of the world. Still another canst N was, the doctrinal dissensions which divided the Church into con^odino laciipDe. fixing the attention more upon" dogma than practice, and ex citing n'Pre interestsin the phraseol ogy of a cried than in the conversion ?.1 a sinner. The last cause was th? nae a^ hd ^ p Thj combination S?^ Christianity and paganism, gradually "tended its in .inence over most of the countries wnich had been evar.seiWd and employing force when its bVndish' ments Jailed to secure converts e-ren toally succeeded in almost ex tiri* 1 mg true religion from the earth J; ia true that Popery sent forth mid .sionaiies to heathen J ,?,ds, but they were not missionaries in the Gospel sense They were more ambition- lo extend the sway of their church than ! the sceptre of Christ. A chan 'fe cl name was more to them than a chan** of heart. To submit to be sprinkled with holy water was more gratiiyincr than to seek to be baptized-with the -Holy Ghost. Their inspiration was the aggran lisement of Rome, and not the glory of the Redeemer . To these five causes, then, acting V >n succession, we a:tribirte the de ?^cline of the missionary spirit in the \ Mk/ Christian Church. The condition of the Church became such, at length, that her members were compelled to act pol ely on the defensive, and to do what they could to keep her licht from being totally extinguished. The steps bv which she recovered from her obscurity and attained her pre sent aggressive attitude we can bare ly notice. First came the Reforma tion, under Martin Luther. This was followed by tho Revival/under John Wesley. The work of these two men was the necessary prepara tion for the wider work which char acterizes our day. These spiritual gunts removed the rubbish that had been accumulating for centuries upon the fountain of eternal lite, and once more gave its healing waters egress to the nations. It is singular, however, how slow the emancipated Church was to re sume her evangelistic labors among the heathen. It would seem as though in battling for existence, she had forgotten the universality of her original commission. Like a prisoner who has been immured for years in a darksome cell and grown accus tomed to its gloom, is unable, at first, tb took upon the day; so, accustomed to move only in the narrow^sphere which was imposed on her during the pet ?od of her depression, she long evinced an inability to recognize the full extent of her responsibility. Who has not heard of William Carey, the "consecrated cobbler," to whom India is so much indebted? At a mee ting of Baptist, ministers, about the year 1789, at. Northampton, Eng land, Carey, who had been studying the map of the heathen world while mending shoes for a subsistence, pro posed the iollowing topic for discus sion: "The duty of Christians ti attempt the spread of the Gospel among heathen nations." Mr. Ry land, one of the leaders and fathers and a devout man, heard the youn<: cobbler with am<>zement. Unable t( repress his indignation at what h< regarded as interterence with th< plans of God. he sprang to his fee and srid: "Young mau. sit down when God pleases to convert tin heathen, He will do it without, yon aid or mine." Many of you h av read tie lite of Dr. Coke. Who does no recall the pathetic scene when, pal with fasting and prayer, and wit the tear-drops trickling down his fm rowed cheek?, he implored the We? leyan Conference of England to at tborize him to establish a mission i the East, pledging his own fortune t secure the success of the undertal ing.

EDITORS : Perhaps it may be of Home interest to yon and the public, and especially to those who are watching our progress, morally and ?eligiously, to know something of our advancement in religious ;and Sunday School work. Therefore, please allow me space iu the columns of your valuable paper to express a few thoughts on the Bubject. The Macedonia Baptist Sunday School Convention, composed of about oO schools, assembled in its seventh annual meeting, with the Mt. Zion School, on the 21st of July, 1382, and continued in session 8 days. Intro ductory sermon preached by Rev. J. W. Williams. Notwithstanding the heavy rain which commenced very soon after the opening of the meet ing, nearly all of the schools were well represented by letter and by delegates. From reports of schoolp, there seemed to be a remarkabfe im provement on the part, of our people in religions and Sunday School work, The Rev. L. Simons, President, de serves great credit for the manner in which he presided over the body. According to previous notice, the Sunday School Institute was organ' ized on the second day of the sessior by Rev. C. M. Brawley, o!" Columbia Secretary of the Baptist Educational Missionary and S. S. Convention o South karolina. The Convention re solvea itself into one grand clasp with Bro. Brawley as teacher. Tb principles of teaching the Interna tional Sunday School Lessons we.r explained and developed in such manner as to make t he most ai m pl understand it. The meeting waa one of specit interest and profit to Sunday Scho< teachers. Bro. Brawley is a ma whom the colored Baptists of Sont Carolina have need to be proud o He has done incalculable good in n ligious and S. S. work for the peep of this State, and especially for tl colored Baptists. The S. li. Inst itu will be the most prominent and ir portant part ol all of our Con ve tions in fuhr e. Ou Sunday, the .??: day of the fission, Bro. Br wleyapol to the Convention on discipline, ch sification and ai rangement of clara? addressing himself also to the S. scholars cf Mt. Zion and other scho< that had united in doing bono- to t great cause of the Sunday School. After the preachiug of the chari .sermon by the Rev. J. C. Carroll, t Convention adjourned, to meet w: the Mine Creek Sunday School Fridav before thc Ith Sunday October, 1883.
