Third Day of the State Baptist Con vention at Anderson Was Busy One ?Pastor of Die Anderson Church mil Preach the Next Convention Sermon?Reports Received and Discussed. Anderson, Dec. 9.?The third day of the State Baptist Convention was a busy one, and saw the completion of many of the matters which are be? fore this convention for action. The greater part of the day's work con? sisted In receiving the reports of the special committees appointed to con? sider the reports of the several stand? ing committees. As yesterday, the convention listened to a number of Interesting addresses, anent the re? ports before it and several important matters were transacted. The first business of the day was the reception of the report of the committee on time and place of the next meeting, and the appointment of a minister to preach the conven? tion sermon. Laurens was chosen as the place of next meeting, and the pastor of the Anderson Church, John F. Vines, D. D., was appointed the next convention preacher. The time was left to be determined by the exe? cutive committee in order not to con? flict with the meeting of the North Carolina Baptist convention, but will be held approximately at this time of the year. The report of the reference com? mittee on the report of the State board approved the work of the board and paid tribute to Its officers, Secretary T. M. Bailey and Assistant Secretary W. T. Derleux. On account of the fact that the board is still In debt and the Importance of the work appeared to demand special attention at this time, Dr. H. L. Jones, intro? duced a resolution calling for the ap? pointment of the following special committee to make further investi? gation and report to the convention: Charles A. Smith chairman; C. C. Brown, Z. T. Cody, W. B. Oliver, J. F. Vines, J. D. iiuggins, C. C. Vaugh an, T. T. Hyde and L* M. Roper. This committee will make some recom? mendations tomorrow and its report is awaited with great interest. : The work of State missions is one of the most Important considerations coming before the convention for which very nearly forty thousand dollars was raised by South Carolina Baptists lust year. The report of the reference com? mittee on the Sunday school depart? ment of the State board, which has general supervision of the Sunday school policies of the Baptists of the State was read and led to consider? able discussion mainly on the point of providing the Secretary of this de? partment with better facilities for his work, recommendation being made to this effect to the State board. In connection with the work of the Sun? day school department a significant vote was taken this morning which pointed toward a substantial broad? ening of the sympathies of the de? nomination with related work un? dertaken among sister denominations. Anderson, Dec. 10.?The State Bap? tist convention completed its work for the year at the morning session here today. Several important com? mittee reports were considered and adopted The most memorable hap? pening of the day was the resignation of Dr. T. M. Bailey, the venerable secretary Of the State mission board, after twenty-four years of service, to become secretary emeritus for life. Richard Carroll, the negro tent evan? gelist, was introduced to the conven? tion Just before Its close, and a spe? cial collection taken for his work. After devotional exercises and the reading of the minutes of the pre? ceding day the report on temperance was read by Charles A. Smith and adopted by the convention. The re? port was a general commitment to the cause of temperance. Supple? menting the report R. W. Saunders offered a resolution committing the convention to the support of State? wide prohibition. The resolution was adopted, as a matter of course, with? out opposition. Jj. E. Roper and J. D. Hugging spoke on the report. One of the most important matters before tho convontion today was the consideration of the report of the soveral committees appointed I under the Howard I* Jones resolution look? ing toward a solution of the dlAcul tles confronting the cause of State missions. The report of the commit? tee is as follows: . , "In Investigating the statement of the State mission board for the year Just passed your committoo, reports that It finds no lack of wisdom In the policy of the board nor' diligence or self-sacrificing devotion on the' part of its secretaries. The failure to meet appropriations and pay off the In? debtedness was due to the presenta? tion of claims entirely unforseen and vet Just nnd unavoidable. "At this time we have been eon fronted with a statement from "?!?? loved and honored secretary that age and multitude of years will make It Impossible for him to do In 1910 the amount of work which he accomplish? ed In the year Just closed and he asks to be allowed to retire from the high office he has held for twenty-four years with such credit to himself, and success to the denomination. While we accept the wisdom of the sugges? tion and believe that Dr. Bailey should so shape his labor as to add other years to his useful life, we sug? gest that he retire only to be made secretary emeritus for life with a sal? ary competent to supply his wants; that the selection of his successor be left to the executive board, and that he retain his position until the suc? cessor be chosen. The committee feels that it cannot too strongly ex? press Its appreciation of the long life and faithful labors of Its distinguish? ed secretary, whose wise brain and loving heart has nursed and nourlsh I ed State mission work and seen it grow under his watchful care to Its present proportions. He is assured of the grateful love of his brethren and that he holds a place in the hearts of I South Carolina Baptists that no one I else can fill." Signed as Chas. A. Smith, C. C. Brown, Z. T. Cody, W. B. Oliver, Jno. F. Vines, T. T. Hyde, J. D. Hugglns, C. C. Vaughan, It, M. Roper, commit? tee. The discussion of this report, adopt? ed without opposition, was testimonial in character and participated In by Z. T. Cody, N. N. Burton, W. T. De reiux, R. W. Saunders, L. M. Roper, C. C. Brown, W. T. Hundley, J. W. I Quattlebaum and A. J. S. Thomas. I Dr. Bailey has for more than a half century been actively connected with j mission work, first as a worker in the foreign mission field and for 25 I years the controlling figure in State I mission boards in Alabama and South I Carolina. The announcement of hlb J retirement leJ to a spontaneous ex I pression of devotion and sympathy I on the part of the convention that j will probably be the most lasting im I pression of the session In tho minds I of those present. During the singing I of the hymn, "How Firm a Founda I tion," with one impulse the members I of the convention pressed forward to I grasp the hand of this splendid old I veteran of the cause. The scene pre I sented was affecting In the extreme. The committee on apportionments I made the following rocomendatlons J for contributions by the churches of J the convention during the year, end I ing November 30, 1910: State mission $40,000; home missions $25,000! for I eign mission $42,500; orphanage $2, 600; aged ministers $7,500; current support Furman University $7,500; I ministerial education Furman Unlver I slty $2,500; Theological Seminary $1, I 800; Bible work, Sunday school de? partment, $1,500. Total, $154,300. I The committee on nomination of j the executive board nominated the j following, who were elected on the report of the committee: T. M. Bailey, W. T. Derleux, Z. T. Cody, G. A. Wright, W. W. Keys, F. P. Coving ton, F. M. Satterwhite, W. J. Langs ton, Rufus Ford, B. M. Foreman, J. D. Bailey, Howard L Jones, W. R. Brown, C. B. Bobo, J. D. Hug gins, T. O. Lawton, G. H. Edwards, J. R. Aiken, J. F. Vines, S. J. Watson. Richard Carroll, the negro tent evangelist, delighted the convention with his earnest and sane presenta I tion of the needs of evangelization among the negroes. In substantial j endorsement a collection of $41.33 J was taken on the floor of the conven? tion. The balance of $75 needed to j complete tho Johnson momerial fund was collected. The report of the committee on the I young people's movement was adopt I ed. After passing resolutions formal I ly expressing the appreciation of the j convention of the courtesies shown by the Anderson church and people and a number of short miscellaneous addresses from the Moor the con I vention formally adjourned at about J 1 P.
