Hening read the following resolution in reference to the Eoger Williams' Memorial: ROGER WILLIAMS MEMORIAL. * The praiseworthy conception of establishing in the capital city of our country a suitable memorial of Roger Williams and the great Baptist principle of soul liberty has been approved both by the Southern and the Northern Baptist Conventions. The plan is to erect a Roger Williams Memorial Church with a statue of Roger Williams in front, and on a conspicuous and fashionable thorough- fare in the city of Washington. As a nucleus for this great work the Emanuel Baptist Church has offered its present property, beautiful for situation and admir- ably adapted to this great purpose. Looking to the carrying out of this plan the Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions have appointed committees to co-operate with a similar committee, ap- pointed by the Baptists of the District of Columbia. These several committees met in Philadelphia and organized into a single committee and appointed sub-committees to look after the various details of the work committed to it. In view of the pre- vailing conditions growing out of the world war the sub-committee on Presentation of the Roger Williams Memorial met in Washington, D. C, and adopted the following : "Inasmuch as this is a time in which it is especially important to emphasize the Baptist fundamental principle of soul liberty and separation of church and State, we urge a vigorous campaign for education on this subject in connection with the effort to erect in Washington a National Baptist Roger Williams Memorial Church and statue ; but we feel that the financial pressure induced by the issue of the present war make it wise for the present that any public campaign for money for this object be delayed until a more opportune time." In view of the foregoing this Convention of North Carolina Bap- tists is requested by the Roger Williams Memorial Committee to adopt the following : Resolved : That we view with interest and approval the plan to emphasize just now the Baptist fundamental principle of soul liberty and separation of church and State by the campaign to erect in Washington a National Baptist Roger Williams Memorial Church and Statue. That we, the representatives of the Baptists of the State of North Carolina give this great undertaking our hearty and prayerful support in ways not detrimental to our local or State work. That February 17th, 1918, be observed as Roger Williams MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 29 Memorial Day in our churches and Sunday-schools, with a view of emphasizing afresh the great Baptist fundamental principle of soul liberty and separation of church and State; and to enlist the sympathetic interest of our people in the proposed memorial.

The Committee held four meetings during the year, but did not feel in a position to make an appeal for funds to erect the monu- ment until the early part of the past fall. The appeal was pub- lished in the "Biblical Recorder" and in "Charity and Children." Funds have commenced coming into the hands of the Secretary and Treasurer, Dr. Charles E. Brewer, of Raleigh. The amount received up to this time is not large, but a beginning has been made, and we hope that by the nest meeting of the Con- vention sufficient may be realized to justify the committee in be- ginning work on the proposed monument. The matter will be kept before the public through the kindness of the "Biblical Recorder," and "Charity and Children." Dr. Hight C. Moore having resigned from the Committee on ac- count of his removal to Nashville, Tenn., Rev. J. Clyde Turner was chosen to fill the vacancy caused by his resignation. Respectfully, T. J.

As representatives, of the Laymen's Missionary Movement the fol- lowing report is submitted : The Laymen's Missionary Movement among Southern Baptists began operations July 1st, 1908, and is under the direction of an Executive Committee of thirty-nine Christian laymen, fourteen of whom reside in Knoxville, Tenn., the headquarters, and the other twenty-five are distributed throughout all the States of the Conven- tion. This Committee has had only one paid Secretary during all these years. The following are some of the activities in which it is engaged : First. It has done much to promote weekly offerings and is still quite active in promoting the thorough every member canvass and Scriptural giving. This is done by offering suggestions through cor- respondence, by the use of literature, and by the personal efforts of the General Secretary. In some associations, zealous pastors and laymen are conducting the Every-Member Canvass in all their churches. The Committee has three pieces of literature on this subject which will be furnished on application. Second. The Movement is helping to organize Men's Missionary Unions in a number of the leading churches. A Constitution and By-Laws for such an organization will be furnished to any one who is interested. It is also suggested that the Baptist churches of a city organize a City Union to meet quarterly for comparing notes, cultivating fellowship, and promoting intelligence. Third. The Laymen's Missionary Movement is zealous in promoting the Bible doctrine of stewardship among laymen; this work is done through the distribution of tracts and addresses delivered in the churches and at conventions and banquets of men. Hundreds of prosperous laymen have been induced to adopt the tenth as a mini- mum standard in giving. Fourth. Much has been accomplished in arousing men to more 32 X. C. BAPfltiT STATE COWEXTIOX active service and more generous giving tlirongli conventions — dis- trict, state, and general. Fifth. In many associations tlie Laymen's Committee is helping to conduct missionary rallies and to organize campaigns in the inter- est both of evangelism and enlistment. Sixth. The Executive Committee is now engaged in an ftfort to secure ten thousand Emergency Men among Southern Baptists, each of whom agrees to contribute once a year as much as five dollars to relieve some worthy and needy enterprise that the Boards are unable to help. While considerable success has already been achieved in this cause, it has been decided to make the week beginning February 3, 1918, Emergency Week. It is hoped that all the lead- ing churches, that have not already done so, will present this mat- ter to their men during that week. Literature and cards will be furnished North Carolina's quota is 1,000 and we recommend that our State Laymen's Committee co-operate with the General Committee in securing this number among North Carolina Baptist men. The Movement haS been of some value in promoting more gen- erous support of the Boards ; since it began in 1908 the offerings of Southern Baptists to Home and Foreign Missions have advanced from $668,223.30 to $1,436,762.48. A few Southern Baptist' men are now supporting several missionaries. T. R. Thobiirn, Religious Work Director at Camp Green, Charlotte, addressed the Convention on Y. M. C. A. work in the camps. J. J.

[APPENDIX A] REPORT OF THE BOARD OF MISSIONS With praise to God who works in us aud gratitude to God's men and women who work with us, we now offer our report to the eighty-seventh session of the North Carolina Baptist State Convention. This has been a year of depressing anxiety and thrilling jjossi- bility. The world is in travail : a new age is being born. Our people are staggered at the happenings of each day. The resoui-ces of our nation and State have never been so taxed. Never has there been such confusion and congestion of worthy appeals to Chris- tians and patriots. Two nation-wide drives for Liberty Bonds, two continental campaigns for Army Y. M. C. A. within six months, and the continual cry of the Red Cross for wounded, sick millions of soldiers throughout the world, with relief call after call for Ser- bia, Belgium, Poland and Armenia, have made our good people give to religion and humanity as they never gave before, despite the dizzy heights of the cost of life's necessaries. But bad, selflsli peo- ple are hardening their souls these days and rolling in temporary artificial prosperity, thinking less than ever of God and His work. Yet despite all this, a good year's work has been done for Mis- sions by North Carolina Baptists. We went forward in our contri- butions to Home and Foreign Missions. State Missions, struck fore aud aft and middle in the last hours of the Convention year by the hugest aud most thorough and most successful religious campaign for larger general giving of money ever launched upon the Ameri- can people, the second drive of the Army Y. M. C. A., 'suffered only a short drop below last year's total figures, not including Asso- ciational Missions. GENERAL SURVEY. You did not name your Board the State Mission Board, but the Board of Missions. We interpret this fact to mean that you wish us to be just as faithful to Foreign and Home Missions as to State Missions. This we have tried to do. I.— FOREIGN MISSIONS. This work is administered bj- Foreign Mission Board. Richmond, Ya. We are laboring in Africa, Argentina, Brazil. China. Italy, Japan, Mexico. Last year was the greatest year in Southern Baptist history of Foreign Mission achievement. A total of $961,970.48 was raised, which included $180,000 debt, amount contributed to .Tudson Cen- tennial and to current support. This is the greatest advance ever made by any denomination in the South in contributions to Foreign MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 49 Missions in a single year. If Southern Baptists had raised $38,- 092.52 more, they would have reached the round million dollar mark. The above record was made possible both by the large number who contributed and the large gifts of a few who recognized the extreme necessities of our Foreign Mission work. The expenses of the work were reduced by nearly $10,000. 90.7 per cent of the money given was applied to the foreign field and only 9.3 per cent was required to meet all home expenditures. 6,347 converts were baptized, 12,930 students were enrolled in our schools, and missionary doctors treated 67,556 patients. We have at present 458 churches with 47,161 members. 115 of the churches are self-supporting. The members contributed last year $132,371.05. There is immediate and urgent need of a large number of mis- sionaries for evangelistic, medical, school and other departments of the work. To meet this need the Board was able to send out but twelve new missionaries at its annual meeting. This number is not one-fourth of the number needed. Of the 458 churches most of them have inadequate liouses of worship, and more tnan one-half of thes^ have no liouses at all. Obeying the wish of the Convention which met in New Orleans in May, the Board has been compelled to assume obligations which amount to $165,000 more than Southern Baptists contributed to cur- rent support last year, and this amount leaves more than $200,000 in urgent needs unprovided for. States, Associations, churches and individuals are earnestly be- sought greatly to increase their contributions to this work in order to save it from the peril of growing obligations and enable the Board to enter new fields to which Providence has thrown the doors wide open and waving harvests invite us. Some devoted friends are giving the Board Liberty Bonds which they purchase to help their country, and others are investing in the Board's Annuity Bonds which pay good dividends. Such exam- ples are recommended to all our peoule. North Carolina gave to Foreign Missions last year $47,923.56. This year we gave $57,315.89, nearly $10,000 advance in one year. Next year shall we not make it $60,000 and guarantee it? II.— HOME MISSIONS. Our Home Mission work is administered by the Home Mission Board, Atlanta, Ga. There are several departments of it : Church Extension, Evangelism, Publicity, Mountain School, Enlistment, Cuba and Panama. The Home Board does a co-operative work with the State Boards in many States. 50 X. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVEXTIOX We would at this time stress the following points in our Home Mission situation : 1. Cliurch Building Loan Fund. You know the women are pur- posing to raise $325,000 of this and the Board is pushing it all it can with only one paid representative. We hope to push this to com- pletion as rapidly as possible. 2. Half million dollars for regular work, which is the largest amount ever undertaken by this Board. 3. $G0.000 to enable the Home Board to pay Southern Baptists' part of tlie great work being undertaken by Baptists for the sol- dier boys in the army camps. Northern Baptists will furnish about $40,000 for the work up to May in these camps and the various State Boards about $20,000. It has been figured out that the Home Board, which will need the money for certain equipment as well as for men, will require about $60,000. Already the work is being conducted with wonderful success. It is a field ripe unto the har- vest and we had to enter it. We would urge on the churches a liberal support and prompt action for this service as well as the regular work. 4. It may be worth while to call attention that our Home Board fiutranks all similar Boards in America in the tangible results in the way of baptisms. We have not been first in training, rather the contrary, but we have been strong on evangelizing. I could wish you would magnify the plan of nurturing the implanted life as part of the obligation of the whole body and of Christ. 5. The Home Board is doing a fine educational service in the large number of tracts and publicity department. Through its mis- sion study books it is demonstrating that denominational books are in really a sustained demand by our Baptist people. It is taking an edition of 5.000 a year of each of the books. Baptist Missions in the South and Country Church in the South. The second edition of the latter book has now appeared only ten months after the first was published. The first has already been used up. The denomi- national principle is conserved in these books and the approach to the subjects treated is through our own work, which is a sound pedagogical principle. If our Young People should be encouraged to study books which fail to appreciate or positively minimize de- nominational group loyalty what may we expect in the way of denominational conscience twenty years from now? There is room for the interdenominational book but there is certainly none for the anti-denominational book, which many of these really are. I>ast year North Carolina Baptists gave to Home Missions $33.- 699.71 : this year .$18.104.22.168. a gain of little less than $2.000 ! Next vear shall we not raise $40,000 and guarantee it. MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 51 III.— STATE MISSIONS. The following is tabulation of the work for this 5^ear : Churches served 283 Number missionaries 161 Conversions 2,851 Baptisms 1,765 Received by letter '. 2,215 Average Sunda j'-school attendance 17,264 Mission Study Classes 77 Men in Mission Study Classes 256 Houses of worship building 37 Houses of worship built 11 Churches organized 14 No. delegates attending denominational meetings 1,208 Number business meetings this year 1,720 Pastorate Conferences 133 Every-Member Canvasses 178 Sermons 11,028 For Missions, undesignated $ 2.322.29 For State Missions $ 5,812.28 For Foreign Missions $ 2.929.77 For Home Missions $ 2,542.28 For Education $ 1,190.94 For Sunday schools Missions $ 876.24 For Ministers' Relief $ 613.82 For Orphanage $ 5,995.79 Otlier objects $19,043.42 Amount raised for all church expenses except pas- tors' salary $31,477.80 Amount paid on pastor's salary $41,828.97 There seems to be a smaller number of churches aided this year than last, but this is only apparent, as heretofore often all the churches on a field served by the same pastor as a mission church counted on the list of mission churches ; now we count only the churches directly aided by the Board. This fact also has its bear- ing on other items in the tabulation. It is interesting to note that we have had on the State Mission field this year 178 Every-Member Canvasses, and 133 meetings in which the churches of a pastorate came together for inspiration, conference and co-operation among the churches served by the same pastor. These facts make a new movement among our churches. There have been 1,208 delegates going this year from mission churches to denominational meetings such as Conventions, Associ- ations, fifth Sunday and pastoral meetings. As to Associational Missions it is impossible to make an exact 52 .Y. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTIOX supplementary report. "We have not been able to get the facts from all Associations, though we wrote the Executive Committee in each ease asking for a report. Over $6,000 has been reported as spent in Associational work with the Tar River, Wilmington, and other Associations in which Associational Mission work was done unre- reported. We have been able to get data from only one Asso- ciation as to. the number of missionaries, of the churches aided, of the baptisms, etc. The Board of Missions desires to co-operate with each Association in doing its Associational work. It would be well if the Board could pay part of the pastor's salary and the Association part of it at each point where the Association does mission work, so that the Board's present method of monthly reports would help the Exe- cutive Committee of the Association in getting reports of the work done and so that the Board's plan of paying salaries might stimulate the churches into the habit of regular paying their pastor. This would be a help to the Associational missionary. It is extremely desirable by this co-operation to get all the weak struggling young churches into direct touch with the Convention work. It is in them that higher denominational standards and better plans of work can first to set into operation. IV.— FINANCIAL STATEMENT. Treasurer Walters Dui'ham's report shows that we have given this year : To State Missions (not including Asso. Miss.) . .$-45,273. 43 To Home Missions 35,554.37 To Foreign Missions 57,315.89 This is over seven thousand dollars more than we ever gave in one year to the current support of Home and Foreign Missions. In State Missions our aim was $47,500, not including Associa- tional and Sunday School Missions. We fell $2,227 below the mark. This drop was a sore disappointment. Four days before the books closed we were over four thousand dollars ahead of all former records in State Missions. Receipts turned somersault in the closing liours. The last week this year we dropped $6,430 below the re- cepits of the last week of last year. The Army Y. M. C. A. run shoved State Missions into a side-track. The One-Mission Campaign last spring and the emphasis on regn lar giving in some of our churches had put us ahead ; and let us be glad, for this saved the unexpected drop at the end from crippling State Missions financially. The Board of Missions laid out the work of the year on n basis of $47,500 as instructed by the Convention. But the deaths and resignations of several men on the field and the postponement of ihe erection of some church buildings to which the Board had prom- MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 53 ised aid kept all the appropriations from being called. So v.v just aweut break even on the year's work. We shall be able to begin the work of the new year without a debt. The total administration expenses, traveling and office for Home, Foreign, and State Missions for this year, not including some items of purely Convention expense paid by our Board, was only 5.91 per cent of the $138,143.69, the total amount raised and disbursed for missions in North Carolina this year. Yet several things have slightly increased the expense this year : a record keeper has been added to the office force, office supplies are gone up in cost with everything else, it has been necessary to add some equipment to the Minion Rooms and, without a cent of concession form any rail- road in the State, the Corresponding Secretary has had to travel over 14,000 miles this year by rail attending conferences of pas- tors and district associations in the West as well as in the East. DEPARTMENTS OF BOARD'S WORK. I.— EVANGELIZATION. This is our first work. Our success as in the past has largely made us what we are. This must be our major work always. But we must be careful to make our evangelistic effort a com- plete work ; our churches are suffering now from a partial evan- gelization. The work is only started when we get a person bap- tized into a church ; there, too many times our effort to evangelize the world has stopped. Nothing is so sad in this year's work of our Convention as the falling off in the number of baptisms in our churches generally. Sad to say, our mission churches had 456 fewer baptisms this year than last. What can this decrease in baptisms in our churches mean? Is it because we are over-stressing Enlistment or is it the chilling effect of thousands of unenlisted members in our churches? Can it be that our concern about the great war is making us forget lost sinners in our own midst? Can it be that we have lost some of our pas- sion for lost souls? There are one hundred and sixty-one workers in this department this year. II.— REPORT OF THE WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION. During the year that has passed, a year marked by unusual con- ditions which have affected many of our people and all phases of work, the Woman's Missionary Union has made steady progress. New organizations have been formed until today we have more than sixteen hundred on our roll. Contributions have increased quarter by quarter, Associations and annual meetings have been largely attended, and an ever increasing interest has been shown. The following financial report was made at the Annual Meeting in Greensboro, March, 1917. 54 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION To Foreign Missions $ 19,140.40 To Home Missions 13,283.52 To State Missions 12,691.79 To Louisville Training Scliool 4,628.59 To Sunday School Board 250.45 To Margaret Educational Fund 82.53 To Expense Fund 766 42 To Foreign Mission Debt 3.897.59 To Judson Centennial and Church Building and Loan Fund 4.984.39 Total $ 59,731.77 * Perhaps the most remarkable achievement of the jear was the completion of our apportionment for the new building for the Train- ing School at Louisville, Kentucky. Our W. M. Union gave $15,000 of the $150,000 put in this building, and the entire amount was in the hands of the treasurer the day the new building was completed. Mrs. Joel G. Layton, of Dunn, has given $3,000 to establish a schol- arship at the Training School. The gift is in memory of her father, Mr. Castlebury, and is known as the Louis Castlebury Scholarship. In addition to this, our Union maintains three scholarships at the School from the general fund. Early in the year steps were taken toward raising the $31,500.00 which is North Carolina's part of the Church Building Loan Fund of the Home Mission Board. Much interest is being shown in this effort, and fourteen five-hundred-dollar memorials have been pledged. However, we can not, as yet, say when the amount will be completed. At the request of our Associational Superintendents, twelve ele- mentary programs have been prepared and published by the Union. These programs are intended primarily for new societies, and we hope they will meet a need that has long been recognized. There are more than 25,000 women connected with our W. M. U. work. Our strength lies in their faithfulness and efficiency and our weakness in the many women in our churches yet unenlisted. To the pastors of the State who have given us such cordial co- operation, we acknowledge a heavy debt of gratitude. Without their help, our work would not be on the firm basis it is today. During the thii'ty-one years of our histoi\v, the Biblical Recorder and its editors have used every means in their power to promote the work of the Woman's Missionary Union, and one of our plans for the coming year is to place the Recorder in every home repre- sented in our missionary societies, and by systematic effort to en- large the circulation of the Recorder among our women. During the year, there have been many demands for time, strength and gifts for war activities. These have been and are being met MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 55 by extra effoi't, and there seems to be a full realization that the work of missions — winning the world to Christ — is the foundation on which all other efforts for the good of humanity must rest. With grateful appreciation to all who have helped in our work, and to the State Board of Missions whose sympathy and co-operation have been a large factor in our success. Faithfully yours, Mrs. Wesley N. Jones, President. Miss Bertha Carroll, Cor.-Scc, Trcas. Mrs. J. S. Farmer, Recording Sea. Mrs. R. N. Simms, Y. W. A. Secretary, Miss Elizabeth N. Briggs, Junior Supt. III.— REPORT OF THE B. Y. P. U. COMMITTEE. 1. A Good Year. We are deeply grateful to our Heavenly Father for the success of the past year. Our work has not met with any serious interruptions or barriers but has been accorded everywliere that reception which we feel its importance deserves. Our prob- lems have been those of growth which we regard as providential rather than perplexing. Our joys have been those Mdiich come with the work and with the satisfaction of seeing it minister to one of the vital needs in our churches throughout the State. Our Secretary has proven to be highly efficient ; is regarded as one of the best in the South, and his efforts have been rewarded with results demonstrating the wisdom of the Convention's course in pro- viding for a whole-time Secretary for this work. 2. Increased Numbers. The number of B. Y. P. U.'s has gone forward during the past year from 300 to 500, in round numbers. This approximates the same rate of increase as last year. We are pleased to say that the advance in efficiency on the part of the 15,000 and more members has been gratifying. The enthusiasm of our young people for genuine Christian service not only calls for the organization of Unions but fulfils as far as possible the real ends for which the B. Y. P. U. exists. 3. Field Work. The mere existence of the department has em phasized the importance of young people's work to such an ex- tent that what we have done directly is by no means the sum of our achievements. The recognition which is given the B. Y. P. U. by the State and Sunday School Boards has paved the way for its advancement and has, in fact, done much work in advance of it. During the year, the Secretary has spent 204 days in field work, traveling 8,916 miles, having visited 114 churches and making 227 addresses, lectures, or sermons. The point of emphasis in the field has been that of strengthening the Unions already existing, and hence the Secretary has personally conducted the organization 56 X. C. BAPTIST STATE COXVENTIOX of only IT Unions. He has held 8 Training Schools for B. Y. P. 1^ workers, each lasting a week. He has attended, as the special rep- resentative of the State Board of Missions, eleven Associations, besides others into which he went at other times. 4. Office Work. Without any clerical help, the Secretary has conducted all the correspondence for the department, answered inquiries which have at times flooded the office, distributed litera- ture to the large number of interested people who have asked for information on the work : made up and dispatched all the circular letters and forms pertaining to the B. Y. P. U. State Convention : keeping files of the Union ; editing the B. Y. P. U. page of the Biblical Recorder ; receiving and collating reports from Standard Unions ; editing, printing and mailing the B. 1'. P. U. State Con- vention Minutes ; with a few other things. 5. Standard Senior and Junior Unions. During the year the number of A-1 Senior and Junior Unions increased 100 per cent exactly, — from 20 to 40. This is an exceedingly gratifying record. It is an index to the very high average of efficiency maintained by the Unions generally. The State B. Y. P. U. Convention awards a Banner each to the Senior and Junior B. Y. P. U. v.hich makes the highest record for each year. The Senior Banner is held by West Durham, and the Junior bj' First Church of Wadesboro. 6. Training Schools. At strategic points we have carried on schools for the instruction of B. Y. P. U. workers in the latest and most approved methods. Most of them have been held in cities, under the auspices of City-wide B. Y. P. U. organizations, in which the Secretary has had the valuable assistance of Mr. Arthur Flake, of the Sunday School Board. Others he has conducted alone or with the assistance of local or State helpers. Perhaps the threfi most far-reaching schools held were at Winston-Salem, Asheville, and the Thomasville Baptist Orphanage. 7. City and General Organizations. According to last reports to the Secretary's office, there are now ten general B. Y. P. U. organizations in the State, some of which are made up of Unions in cities, some in pastor's fields, and a few in schools and colleges. We have nearly reached the limit of our possibilities in the first, and doubtless next year there will be marked advancement made in the last named. At the meeting of the B. Y. P. U. Committee, Raleigh, November 20. 1917, the following resolution was adopted: "We recommend to our Unions, wherever practicable, general organi- zation along county lines." It is in pursuance of this plan that we look for the greatest advance in general organizations next year. 8. State B. Y. P. U. Convention. The eighth annual B. Y. P. U. Convention of North Carolina was held at Gastonia. June 9 to 11, 1917. Besides strong addresses on vital themes, Brother W. E. Ilolcombe, of Mississippi, under the patronage of the Sunday School MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 57 Board, came to us for defiuite class work and technical instruction. In attendance and interest, the Convention was the best yet. It is a great power-house where enthusiasm can be caught up and prop- erly directed, and where our young people can get definite training in the work of general Baptist bodies. 9. Schools and Colleges. It is with profound pleasure tliat we are able to say that the very fine report of last year as to Unions in our schools and colleges is even exceeded this year. There are from one to four organizations in all but one, with an advance during tlie year in the number of Unions in them and a much larger per cent becoming A-1. It is in the schools that our young people get most readily and permanently that sort of training which will distinguish them as young people's leaders and church workers when they return to their homes. 10. Financial Statement. Appropriations by the State and Sun- day School Boards have been handled by the regular Convention agencies, — through the office of the Corresponding Secretary and that of Brother Walters Durham, Treasurer. Offerings by tlie Unions have been received and receipted for by Brother John D. Berry, Treasurer of the Committee and by him deposited with Brother Durham. Our statement is as follows : Receipts. State Board, appropriation $1,500.00 Sunday School Board, appropriation 500.00 Offerings by Unions 509.98 Total $ 2,509.98 Dishursed. Paid balance Secretary's salary, 1916 $ 276.66 Paid Printing State Con. Minutes, 1916 51.60 Salary of Secretary, 1917 1,800.00 Printing State Convention Minutes & forms, 1917 117.33 Paid Secretary's expenses (11 months), 1917 333.99 Total paid out $2,579.58 Deficit with the State Board 69.G0 $2,579.58 $2,579.58 The Secretary's expense account includes office rent, traveling ex- penses, printing bills (other than Minutes and Convention blanks), stamps, stationery, office and field supplies. In connection with the deficit of $69.69 it is to be considered that we paid $328.26 of items brought over from the work of the previous 58 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION year: which means that we conducted the present year's work within the limits of our income and had $258.66 to apply to other items. 11. Recommendations. (1) We recommend to the incoming Board such appropriation as will take care of this growing de- partment of our work. (2) We appeal to the pastors and adult members of our churches throughout the State to command the service of our department, and to interest themselves in the B. Y. P. U. as the definite plan for training the young converts in their midst. 12. AcK-noicledgments. (1) To the State Board of Missions for the appropriation of $1,500.00 for our work last year ; and to the Sunday School Board for the appropriation of the sum of $500.00. (2) To the Sunday School Board for the privilege of having Mr. Arthur Flake at several City Training Schools during the year and for sending Mr. Holcombe to the last State Convention, as B. Y. P. U. specialist. (3) To the B. Y. P. U.'s of the State which have made offerings for the maintenance of the department. (4) To the Biblical Recorder for the use of a page as the organ of our work and the forum of news and views by the Unions themselves. 13. Foncard. The future holds the promise of still larger oppor- tunities and blessings. Development is in the mind of the Baptist brotherhood as never before; and the obligations of the churches to tit the young Christians for active service in their interests are fast becoming self-evident to all. The young people are responsive and are plastic under the touch of a leading hand that guides them onward. The land is resonant with the voice of the trainer ; and the call for effective soldiers of Christ is as imperative as the need for trained troops in the cause of our country. Let us not cease until there is offered to every one in our Baptist churches a chance to become "approved unto God, a workman who needeth not be ashamed." R. N. SiMMS, Chairman, John D. Berry, Treasurer, L. E. M. Freeman, B. W. Spilman, Charles E. Brewer, For Committee. J. D. MooRE, Secretary. IV.— REPORT OF SUNDAY SCHOOL COMMITTEE. Ten 3'ears ago Dr. H. C. Moore was closing four years of splendid service for our Sunday-schools. Soon thereafter the present Secre- tary was elected and began his work extending until now. Let us stand there and look backward ten years and then to the condi- MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 59 tions now. In 1897 there were reported 914 schools with a member- ship of 66,046. In 1907 there were 1,679 schools with a membership of 139,467. This year there are 2,151 schools with a membership of 219,971. This is fine progress. The number of schools and their member- ship have grown much faster than the number of churches and church membership. This is as it should be until we have reached our church members and more of the unsaved people for the Sunday- school. But there is just one sad note. For the past year there has been a gain of twenty-eight schools but a slight loss in mem- bership. The loss is only 1,167. This has not happened before in a quarter of a century or more. The fact ought to give us pause and call us to prayer and greater activity during next year. The denomination has paid most of its financial debts, but can claim no especial credit in a time when our people are so pros- perous. At the two points calling for the most universal service we have gone backwards. Reference to the statistical report will show an alarming decline in baptisms and this small decline in our Sunday-schools tell in unmistakable notes that we need to go to work for our Lord. Activities of the Secretary. 1. Field Work. This work has been pressed as vigorously as during any year of the work by the Secretary. He has reached 102 churches in thirty-five Associations, speaking 235 times. He has attended the annual session of twenty-one Associations and the an- nual Sunday School Convention in five others. It is impossible to do a tithe of the work needed to be done, but some of all kinds has been done. Of the churches reached sixty- two were in the villages and country, and the other forty in towns and cities. Four city Training Schools were conducted. Institutes were conducted in five factory towns and formal institutes in six other places. All this effort can be but seed-sowing. The local workers must be the reapers. 2. Otfice Work. The Secretary could not afford to give so much time to this unless results could be received. It is the opinion of the Committee and Secretary that the office work counts more for schools than the field work though both are necessary. First of all, there is the routine correspondence of making itiner- aries, answering inquiries, pressing the various campaigns for Mis- sions, Education, etc. Co-operating with the Sunday School Board at Nashville a defi- nite campaign of Sunday-school Education is carried on in the ju- dicious distribution of tracts. In practically every letter, personal and general, tracts are sent. During the year more than 400 workers have requested additional supplies of these tracts for personal use 60 K. C. BAPTIST STATE COXVEXTIOX and distribution in local schools. Ten thousand would bp a low estimate of the number itsed during the past year. Teacher Training is one pf the most important phases of the work. The year has been barely normal. We have gained 659 Diplo- mas, 114 Red Seals, and twenty-six Blue Seals. This would seenj good, but a very large part of these Diplomas were earned in our Baptist colleges and schools. We easily lead the entire South at this point in Teacher Training. Last year seventy-eight schools received 1,460 Diplomas and 4,630 awards. Of these twenty-two schools were in North Carolina, and they received 437 Diplomas and 1.343 awards. (An award is for the completion of some book in the Normal Course.) No marked progress has been made in organized classes. The Southern Baptist Cnovention at New Orleans instructed the Sunday School Board to elect a special worker for this department. On September 1 Mr. Harry L. Strickland began this work. We were waiting for his policies and plans. These are now in the makin?. We are planning a vigorous campaign of enlisting the co-operation of many of our unenlisted classes. The number of A-1 Standard Sunday-schools this year is eighteen. This is one fewer than last year. This Honor Roll is as follows : Apex, Buie's Creek, Cedar Falls, Centerville, Henrietta, Hebron, High Point— First, Greenville — Immanuel, Greenville — Memorial, Lumberton^ — First, Lumberton, — East, Murfreesboro, Mars Hill, Olive Chapel, Orphanage, Red Springs, Shiloh and Wake Forest. 3. The Baptist Seaside Assembli/. The Secretary has been the General Secretary of the Assembly from its beginning. The last session was the largest and best. Besides preparing the program from his office, he co-operated with other officers of the Assembly in some field work in building up its membership. The enroll- ment was 649. Of these 445 came from outside Wilmington. The city showed the splendid co-operation of enlisting 204 in the enter- prise. FiXAXCES. Our people have responded more genei'ously during the last yc-ir for this cause than any year formerly. The last Convention asked us to work on a basis of $2,750.00. The expenses of the year were $2,795.64. The excess was for a typewriter and other permanent office equipment. The receipts were $3,051.09. The gain was made during the summer from the offerings on May 24th on "Children's Day", as $165.14 less was received this year after September 1 than last year. This is as it should be. It relieves all strain during the campaigns for "State Missions", "Orphanage" and "Education." We begin the new year with a healthy balance. This ought to enable us to go most of next year with no overdrafts on the fund. MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 61 How fine it would be if all interest could be saved in all the work of the denomiuatioia ! Shall We Go Forward? North Carolina was a pioneer in Sunday-school field work. All (he other States of the Southern Baptist Convention have followed us. For twenty-two consecutive years we have had just one Secre- tary in the field, many of the other States have gone beyond us in that they are using two to four workers, while we still use one. Southern Presbyterians with 350,000 members are using thirty-two field workers to improve their Sunday-schools. North Carolina Baptists, with 283,095 members, still use one man for the same purpose. Tliere can be but one result — sooner or later wo must lose in the race. Are conditions named in this report the first sign of this? The Sunday School Board has appropriated for us $300.00 for another man or an elementary worker or $600.00 if we xise ooth. Your committee recommends that the Board and Convention author- ize us to put in the field during the next year another worker if a suitable person can be found and the Committee feels the worker can be paid. For present work and this proposal we recommend that we raise $3,600.00 next year with $800.00 of this coming from the Sunday School Board. Our Task for Next Year. For more than two decades Baptists of North Carolina and the entire South have been working oiit constructive policies for increas- ing the number of our Sunday-schools, for increasing their mem- bership and for making them more efficient. We can really olTer nothing new, but we can emphasize tilings tliat need to be done as follows : 1. The pastor ought to be the key man in every church. We urge every pastor to secure tracts and books that will enable him to know the best Sunday-school work. 2. Church memhers must be enlisted. Not over 95,000 of the 283,095 members of our churches are in Sunday-school. Their co- operation must be secured. We have an unreaclied constituency among the unsaved of at least 300,000. One of our greatest tasks is enlistment. We commend the religious census as the best way to perform this task. 3. Teachers and officers make or mar a Sunday-school. Piety and consecration are absolutely essential to their success, but these graces are not enough. They must be trained. We commend the Teacher Training system of our Sunday School Board. 4. Church houses and their equipment must be improved for 62 N. C. BAPTIST STATE COWENTION our Sunday-schools. "What surgical instruments are to the surgeon, what adequate tools are to the carpenter, what separate rooms, suitable desks, maps, chairs, etc., are to the public school teacher, an equipped house is to the church." 5. Our tvatchwords for 1918 should be the same as for thsi year : Extension! Co-operation! Enlistment! Orgamsation! Education! Evangelization! L. E. M. Freeman, Chairman. E. L. MiDDLETON, Sccrctarg. SOME FEATURES OF THE YEARS WORK. First of all there is among us a growing sense of The Oneness of All Our Mission Work. The One-Mission Drive last spring did not do all we exjtect to see it do another year. But it did reach some results worth while : it struck a chord of response among many earnest thinking men. It gave us a glimpse of the vital unity of all our Missions. It helped to put North Carolina forward in Home and Foreign Missions at New Orleans last May. And it gave us a start in State Missions that went with us all the rest of the year and helped to keep the collapse the last week from crushing us with debt. It got us into tone for a more effective drive this spring. Let us no more dis- sect Misisons into three appeals ; it is one great impulse, the love of God seeking to go out througli us to our whole lost race, im- pelling us to join hands with one auotlier in our great mission work which only for administrative convenience, is divided into three departments. Foreign, Home and State Missions. Once we really see the vital unity of all phases of mission work, we shall see at once The Place of Education. in this missionary enterprise. AVe need to grasp one simple fact : teaching and preaching stand together in the New Testament ; Educa- tion and Evangelization have equal standing in the Great Commis- sion. We seem to know this truth in part in heathen coiintries. But we have a strange way of forgetting it in Christian lands. In our thinking we have set Education and Missions too far apart. "Teaching them" is a part of the Lord's last command. It is part of the work of the Board of Missions, therefore, to champion the cause of Education in missionary churches. We must put the necessary missionary motive under Education, else it ceases to be Christian Education. With missions split into three appeals and these all clamoiing MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 63 for a good time in the annual calendar of appeals to the churches, Education has no regular favorable access to the churches. When Missions no longer presumes to exhaust the content of the Great Commission and to monopolize the calendar of the churches by insisting on three distinct annual appeals, but becomes contented to take its places as only a part of the Great Commis- sion and accords to Education a place co-ordinate with itself, we shall have in our Baptist schools a more distinct Christianity and in our Baptist churches a more effective missionary effort. These principles embedded in the relation between Missions and Education should be given a chance for free action at the point where Missions and Education touch the churches. This cannot be done without uniting Missions into one appeal and giving Education a favorable place in the program of activity and liberality in the local church. One feature of the Board's year's work has been Direct Dealing With the Churches and Pastors. We keep a careful record of each church's work in its alpha- betical position. We have also procured a list of the pastors and pastorates in the State. Our statistics heretofore have hung around the District Association and have been a year old. Now we have figures up to date each week which hang around the pastor, the New Testament personal center of all church work. It is the deep desire of the Board to give itself in every possible service to the pastors and churches and to depend upon them to care for Missions. Statements of what each church has done have gone forward to the pastor twice this year. With rare exception these statements have been apprecia/ed and the response to them has been encouraging indeed. In this way, we are simpler, more direct and less noisy in our work, but not less earnest. It tends to save the Recorder from being a collecting agency and gives it a chance to be more edifying to the saints, it at the same time stimulates regular giving and makes us all more punctual in our Lord's work. Some Changes in Administrative Method were installed this year. In the new application blanks each church receiving aid from the Board has to ask for it in its own name. Monthly reports during the year have been made from each church. The Board tries not to put appropriations in churches which com- pose scattered fields ; it gets in each case information as to how many miles a pastor has to travel each month going the round of his churches. In this way it urges the compact pastorate upon the attention of our young churches. Each church receiving aid agrees to have two pastoral meetings with the other churches served by its pastor. If it has not had an Every-Member Canvass it promises 64 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION to do so ; it also undertakes to pay its pastor montlily. The Board now pays all salaries of over $5.00 monthly, upon receipt of report from each church aided on his field. These changes have worked well in the main. The year's work has been characterized by A Deepenixg of Our Enlistment Work. In March Brother W. R. Bradshaw resigned liis field work in the western part of the State to become pastor of Hickory, First Church. Ten faithful years he had labored for the Board with oiir western churches. A great work has he done. No man is more beloved among the people among whom he has worked. His giving up this work left us without a regular Enlistment worker on the field. Tlie Corresponding Secretary, since Brother Bradshaw's resigna- tion, has given more time to the field, seeking with the noble pas- tors who volunteered to work with liim, to get started a process of voluntary enlistment in our churches. The great bulk of our Baptist people in North Carolina are not yet enlisted in the work of the Kingdom. The members in our churclies wlio are indifferent to^ our Loi'd's work are our peril. We shall lose tliem and their chil- dren if we cannot grip thein into action. People come ultimately to disbelieve their own religion if it has not the vitality to make them active for its spread. Our Home Board saw this peril in our Baptist situation some years ago and in co-operation with several State Boards put enlist- ment men to work. Bradshaw and Kendrick and Upchurch and others did a good work in a few of our churches. But they could only start the work. Enough men on the field actually to do the work necessary would deplete our pastorates and swamp our Mis- sion Boards. Thus it follows : we must depend upon our pastors. Baptist churches can not be permanently enlisted by the short visit of an expert sent by a Board : the bvilk of the work must be done voluntarily by pastors in their own cliurclies and helping one another in protracted meetings. When we get it really started this way. it will go on itself by a deep spiritual process to the depth and width of our denominational life. We had this year in North Carolina 200 Volunteer Enlistraenr men among the pastors of North Carolina. They met in eleve.i Enlistment Conferences ; they represented the work of our Conven- tion at seven Associations, they conducted twenty En'istment Pro- tracted Meetings which have been reported. Many such meetings have been held, but were not reported to the Secretary. The Board paid the expenses of this work. This Volunteer En'istment effort did more than one man on the job at a cost of $2,000 could possibly have done, besides it got the Enlistment impulse into the blood and MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 65 soul of many of our pastors. This work cost the Board only $210.98. But Voluntary Enlistment is barely started among us. Our pastors are more ready for it than our churches. We need to stress it more next year. There is no reason why four or five of our Associations should not have simultaneous Enlistment Campaigns each year led by a force of volunteer pastors until all our Associ- ations are reached and brought to higher standards of church life and activity. Such a course pursued for twelve years would revo- lutionize our North Carolina Baptist work. But training must go along with Enlistment. From recruiting station to training camp, and from camp to' field and trench. So now your Board plans to have ten cantonments for those already enlisted; that is, ten schools for pastors and workers of five days each year for five years, each school with a faculty of five ; each school this year with a course in Bible Study, in Chris- tian Education, in Sunday-school Normal, on Country Church, on Church Organization and Method, studied and taught in the day time; having at night at each school a lecture by one of the foremost Baptists of the whole country, a different lecturer each night at each school. These schools are to be located this year so as to serve the sections surrounding Wilmington, Greenville, Eden- ton, Durham, Hamlet, Charlotte, Rutherfordton, Thomasville, North Wilkesboro, Asheville, but not necessarily in any one of these cities: the five in the East to run from March 4th to Sth ; and the five in the West from March 11th to 15th. This era of high prices makes it hard for town people who have to buy life's necessaries, and easy for country people who have the necessaries to sell. The hour has struck for Enlistment in the country churches : the country now has advantage over the town ; three-fourths of our country churches come to half-time and full- time preaching. Many of our preachers would be really glad now to get a country field. Aid to Church Buildings. We may evangelize a community, but our work does not become permanent until a house is built for the church. This is perhaps truer in an old country than in a new one. Church houses need to be planned not according to the strength of the young church, but according to the needs of the community to be reached and served by our gospel. Besides this hundreds of our older church buildings have been erected with no thought of the need of smalt rooms for the teaching of God's Word to small groups of peopip gathered in Sunday-school classes. We should not stop until we have a good building and strong pastor located in every educational center of the State. The Pi-es- 66 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION byterians are striking a master stroke at our State University in a good church building there. We have already paid out this year in aid to churcli buildings $3,625.00 and $3,500 more must be paid in the nest few days We are utterly overwhelmed with requests to aid in buildings. Sliall we really do something worth while for church buildingss or shall we merge our Fund with the Home Board's church building work? IxcREASixG Need of Fuxds. We could use judiciously $100,000 in State Missions in North Carolina. When we count in the decreased purchasing power of money it would take at least $70,000 to hold our State Mission work at its present level. Already the needs in some of our Asso- ciations are so far beyond our reach they are threatening to break off and do their own work ; that would mean disintegration. If we continue to deal in small figures in our Baptist work, the war, the Red Cross and the Y. M. C. A. will run away with us. We most cultivate a closer. Contact With the Work of Our Women. Our women in tlie Woman's Missionary Union are more business- like than our men, more so even tlian many of our pastors. By their systematic effort throughout the year they raise $12,961 of what we give to State Missions and $45,120 of what we give to all miissions in North Carolina. Our task is to get the average North Carolina Baptist church in its benevolence up to the level of its W. M. S. The W. M. S. and tlie rest of the church should come into deeper touch so that the whole church might get into the spirit and tone of our woman's work in Missions. It would be a great blessing to our work if most of the year the cliurch and W. M. S. could be contributing to the same object at the same time. One of our needs is A Change of Calendar. All our churches need a calendar to follow : it would be better if this calendar approached more to uniformity among all the churches. 'The churches working on the plan of periodic appeal cannot do their work without a calendar of objects. A calendar is no less a jiieC'essity in a church working on the budget plan ; for here the members must be made and kept intelligent on the different phases ofoiir work; irregular givers should liave a chance to help each object; and there should be a round-up in each budget church for each object for the convenience of growing regular givers who wish MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 67 to make freewill offerings out of their enlarging souls and material prosperity. Missions, Education, and Social Service are all three in the Great Commission : the root, stalk, the flower of it. They should all have a place in the calendar of our churches. Now the calendar of our Convention is at present partial and disproportionate : missions is divided into three objects and covers all the best part of the year. Education and Social Service have no consideration in our churches at any set favorable time now. Our Secretary thinks we would greatly improve and simplify this situation by closing our Baptist State Convention books Tuesday after the third Sunday in October, letting the Baptist State Conven- tion meet Monday after the fourth Sunday in October, giving Mis- sions right of way during the half year from the Baptist State Con- vention to the Southern Baptist Convention and Social Service and Christian Education, having riglit of way in the half year from the Southern Baptist Convention to the Baptist State Convention. Recommendations. 1. That colportage work be begun on as nearly as possible a self-supporting basis setting aside $500.00 contingent fund for this purpose. 2. That the Convention consider for a year the advisability of clos- ing our Baptist State Convention year Tuesday after the -third Sun- day in October ; that Christian Education and Social Service may be given right of way from Southern Baptist Convention to Baptist State Convention ; that at the Baptist State Convention each year we may begin a six months' drive for Missions, State, Home and Foreign, closing April 30th each year. 3. That it be the policy of the Board to make its office work effective as possible so as to reduce the field force to the minimum, depending upon the pastors to look after the Convention's work in their churches and to aid in pressing it on the field at larsie. 4. That an ample amount be set aside this year for the expense of pastors doing Volunteer Enlistment work and for the expense of ten schools for pastors and workers. 5. That next year's work be laid out on a basis of $150,000 : Foreign Missions $60,000; Home Missions $40,000; State Mission.s $50,000 not including Associational and Sunday School Missions and the money sent in for Missions undesignated be divided in the above ratio for each Foreign, Home and State Missions. 6. That right here in Convention assembled we consecrate ourselves to the task of raising not less than $150,000 for Missions by April 30 ; that in this awful crisis of the world, of our country and of our churches we urge our people not to assemble in their churches at all during the next two months without joining in a special prayer 68 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION for Missions ; that during this time our pastors be entreated to preach earnest sermons on Missions and that the week of February 3rd to 10th be set aside for daily prayer in our churches and homes for God's blessings on our mission work. 7. That State Mission work be laid out next year on the basis of at least $50,000, nut including Associational Missions or Sunday School Missions ; not putting over $7,000 in church buildings. John E. Ray, President. Walter N. Johnsox, Corresponding Secretary. Raleigh, N. C, November 27, 1917. Addenda. 8. We further recommend that the State Board of Missions, at its first session, take into consideration the advisability of holding its annual meeting in connection with the meeting of the Conven- tion. 9. We also recommend that the Board, at its first meeting, take into consideration the advisability of placing a camp pastor at Fort Caswell, and at any other point in the State where soldiers may be encamped. 10. We commend to our State Board of Missions, with the warm- est sympathy, the suggestion that we join hands, to the extent of our ability with the President of Shaw University in his efforts to provide thoroughly equipped ministers for the negro Baptist churches among us.

[APPENDIX B] REPORT OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION In presenting the Report of the Board of Education, we beg to record our gratitude for the continued favor of God; for the faith- ful and effective co-operation of so many of our pastors and lay- men, and for the deepening practical interest among our people in a cause so vital but so long neglected. In spite of the distress and distraction of war and of the unpre- cedented cost of living, our brethren and sisters have again moved forward in their contributions for Education. The receipts for the year have been $12,207.32, as against $10,697.35 for last year; this sum, of course, is in addition to amounts raised by local efforts for spocial schools and to the sums paid in on notes to particular institutions, all of which will appear in the sub-joined financial statement. Plans and Policies. These have been the same in general as those pursued and re- ported last year, namely, to lay the cause upon the hearts of our people by attendance and addresses at our Associations; by visits to individual churches as opportunity offered, and through the pub- lic press. In our work among the Associations your Corresponding Secre- tary has had valuable assistance from Presidents Poteat, Brewer and Lineberry, Professors Cullom, Hubert Poteat and Cochran, and one or two of our high school men. The Biblical Recorder, as usual, both editorially and by the free use of its columns, has ren- dered invaluable assistance, as has Charity and Chil(Jren also whenever it was called upon. And your Secretary would also mention with grateful appreciation that in the forty-seven churches visited during the year, his reception by both pastors and people was most cordial, and the work he represented was heartily en- dorsed. Beneficiaries Duking the Teab. The individuals jiided by our Board during the year include sev- enty-five ministerial students at Wake Forest, four student volun- teers at Meredith and one at Chowan, and our North Carolina men at the Seminary, who received a lump sum of $1,500.00 under Instructions from the Convention. And by the way, without further instructions, your Board will assume that you wish us to pursue this policy. The number of these men for the current session is twenty-three, of whom fifteen are now receiving aid, and two others are soon to be accepted. The number of ministerial students MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 75 at Wake Forest is eighty-four, of whom seventy-three are under the care of our board ; and threre are four student volunteers at Mere- dith and one at Chowan. Reports From Colleges and Schools. Most of the , data concerning these institutions will be found in tabulated form and submitted herewith, but we may report here in general that the teachers in our high schools last year numbered thirty-five men and fifty-nine women ; total ninety-four. Enroll- ment, 1,301 boys and 1,258 girls; total 2,599. Property valuation $324,000.00. The teachers in our three colleges numbered forty-nine men and thirty-eight women. Total enrollment of the collesres, 532 men (including twenty-nine local music students at Meredith) and 550 women ; total college enrollment 1,082. Total of endowment for the three colleges $647,581.37; of plant and equipment $490,425.00. Total of property values $1,138,006.37. These figures, it will be observed, cover the session of 1916-17 because those for the current session are not complete. The enrollment at Wake Forest, as was anticipated, is con- siderably below that of last year, amounting to a decrease of twenty • five per cent. This is bad, of course, but is better than the loss of fifty per cent as reported by some colleges. Drs. Thurman D. Kitchin and Luther T. Buchanan have suc- ceeded Drs. Carstarphen and Case in the Medical Department. Profs. S. A. Derieux and T. E. Cochran have succeeded Profs. Syd- nor and J. H. Highsmith in the Departments of English and Educa- tion and Philosophy respectively. A large part of the Walters property, including 167 acres of land, has been secured for an athletic field and for building lots when the necessity for the latter shall arise. Meredith reports an enrollment to date of 408, in spite of the entire elimination of the high school department. It has more boarding students than it ever had at the corresponding date in any preceding session. In the Faculty Miss Charlotte Ruegger has been made Director of Music in the place of Dr. Mildenberg, who was forced to retire by severe and protracted illness. Mrs. Blalock returned as Instructor of Piano after a year's absence, having spent the time studying in New York. Miss Catherine Williams succeeds Miss Futrell as Professor in the Department of Piano. Miss Leila N. Horn has been secured as Instructor in Theoretical Music in place of Miss Atmore. Miss Catherine Allen succeeds Miss Young as Professor of German; and Miss Effle Landers comes in place of Miss Thorn- ton as Professor of French. Miss Vann has been succeeded by Miss Mary E. Stark as Professor of Mathematics. Miss Marie White returns to fill out the unexpired term of Miss Elsie Allen 76 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION in the Department of Home Economics, Miss Allen having died suddenly early in the session from something like heart failure. We also report the coming of Miss Louise Richardson as Librarian in the place of Miss Forgeus and of Miss Bessie Boggess as Dieti- tian, somewhat by the way of experiment, in place of a regular liousekeeper. This experiment has proved satisfactory so far. The college has received during the year $20,000.00 from the Biggs' estate, with the proviso that the income from $15,000.00 is to go to certain individuals during their lives. No details have readied us from Chowan save the general state- ment of an unusually fine opening and the receipt of $4,203.76 towards cancelling its indebtedness. The only high schools heard from — Wingate, Winterville and Fruitland all report excellent enrollments. That of Wingate is better this year than last, notwithstanding the loss this year of the public school pupils. The immediate friends of the school have practically paid it out of debt ; the current receipts are meeting expenses, and the Trustees are planning to erect two new dormi- tories by next fall. Brother G. M. Stewart has promised to erect one of these buildings and they have employed Bro. E. C. Snyder to raise funds for the erection of the other. Winterville has a commodious brick administration building well under way to replace the wooden house lost by fire more than a year ago. The Board is authorized to report that Brethren G. W. and C. M. Wall have proposed to pay off all the indebtedness of the Wall- burg School, amounting to $15,000, and then present the property unencumbered to the denomination. The Board desires thus pub- licly to express its grateful appreciation of this generous spirit and to thank these brethren for their splendid donation. South Fork Institute at Maiden did not open this fall. This is the second of our Baptist high schools that has been forced out of the field, and the fact impresses two lessons : first, that we must exert ourselves strenuously if we are to save the high scohols that we have left ; second, that we should ponder long and carefully before starting another high school. The brethren at the Seminary have requested permission to send an agent into the State to canvass for the purpose of raising a large permanent fund whose income is to be used for the support of students. After careful consideration your Board advises these brethren that in their opinion such a movement in our State would be inexpedient until the completion of the special educational cam- paign which the Convention contemplates launching. New Departure. At its session in Nashville last winter the Education Commis- MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 77 sion of the Southern Baptist Convention requested the Sunday School Board to set apart one Sunday during the year as "Educa- tion Day" in our Sunday-schools, prepare a suitable program, and ask the various Sunday-schools in the Convention to observe the day in some appropriate manner. A special lesson was to be devoted to "Christian Education". The Board readily accepted the sug- gestion, prepared the program and the lesson, and set aside the fourth Sunday in June as "Education Day". An unfortunate delay in the receipt of the program prevented us from observing the fourth Sunday as we had desired. But the day seems to have been pretty widely observed throughout the South, as it was by many of our North Carolina schools also, which arranged their own programs, while other schools selected some subsequent Sunday. As a partial result of this plan, our Sunday-schools in this Stare raised something over $500.00, which, under all the circumstances, was probably more than was to have been expected. Our main consideration, however, did not contemplate imme- diate financial returns, but rather the fixing in the minds of our young people and their elders of the essential importance of Chris- tian Education as a factor in evangelizing the world. The Edu- cation Commission desires to make "Education Day" a prominent feature in our annual program, and it is hoped that this Conven- tion will endorse the plan, and instruct its Board of Missions and Sunday-schools to take proper measures to promote it. Our Larger Program. It will be recalled that the Convention at its last session, aftei earnest and animated discussion, instructed its Board of Education to "consider the advisability of launching a campaign for the ade- quate equipment and enlargement of our schools and colleges and report at our next session, with suggestions of details for such a campaign" ; and in carrying out such instructions this Board was directed to "confer with representatives of the three colleges and one from each of our high schools, together with a committee of five brethren to be named by the President of our Convention." Ac- cordingly, on February 6th the Board met in Raleigh, with fifteen of its eighteen members present, eleven representatives of the va- rious schools, besides the three school men on the Board, and three visiting brethren, but only one of the five members of the special committee named by the Convention. After an all-day session, which was opened by two earnest prayers, it was resolved, with one dissenting vote, to recommend that the Baptists of North Carolina inaugurate next year a campaign to raise one million dollars for the endowment and equipment of our schools. The brother who dissented, while favoring the campaign, suggested a 78 X. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTIO^f maximum of $500,000.00; but after the vote was announced he moved that it be made unanimous. On the report of a special committee, the conference recommended that the money so raised be apportioned in the ratio six-twentieths each to Wake Forest and Meredith, three-twentieths to Chowan and five-twentieths to the liigh schools. At the regular annual session of the Board at Wrightsville last July this matter was again discussed, as were certain features of it at subsequent meetings of the Executive Committee, to which had been referred these special features. The result of these dis- cussions was that we should secure to conduct the campaign some business man of recognized ability and success whose name would inspire the confidence and enlist the interest of other business men, and of the mass of our people as well. No such man. however, had been found available up to the last meeting of the Executive Committee. At that time the outbreak of war, with its vast and rapidly changing consequences, seemed to that Committee to have changed the situation so radically that the Corresponding Secre- tary suggested, and the Committee advised, referring the whole matter to another conference. This conference was called to meet in Durham, December 4th. The Baptist Attitude Towards Edvcatiox. So far as popular education is concerned, our attitude ought to be clear to every man of even tolerable intelligence. While the large majority of our membership, unlike that of most other denomi- nations, live in rural communities and so are denied the educa- tional advantages of the towns and cities, we challenge any other organized religious body in the State to show a finer record in its support of popular education. We have not only paid cheerfully our regular taxes for school, but when occasion offered have voted special taxes on ourselves. Barring a few instances of unusual wealth, it would doubtless be safe to say that the public record would .show more school taxes paid by Baptists than by any other denomination in the State. A Baptist deacon in the State Senate and another in the House a few years ago forced a reluctant legislature to appropriate the first hundred thousand dollars for public schools that was ever voted out of the State's treasury for this purpose : and this was done over the opposition of a few men who have since been acclaimed as the apostles of popular education in the State. And when the three-million-dollar bond issue was pending before the Senate last winter, with more than half of the money which it was proposed to raise thereby appor- tioned ot the three State colleges and not a cent to the common schools, another Baptist deacon blocked the measure till a provi- MINUTES OF 8 E SSI OX 1911 70 sion was inserted setting apart half a million dollars for the com- mon schools. As for the State colleges, it may be recalled that soon after the Civil War, when our University was dismantled and desolate, it was a prominent Baptist minister who made the first public propo- sition for its re-opening and rehabilitation ; and while we have sometimes been misunderstood and misrepresented, we have paid and still cheerfully pay our part of the taxes for the maintenance and advancement of these institutions. Moreover, we would here record our hearty desire. not only for a spirit of amity between the State and the denominational colleges, but also of good fellow- ship and co-operation in the great task which is common in part to both. And we would welcome any movement looking towards that good end. But we have felt and still feel that there has been manifested at times on the part of some of the immediate friends of the State colleges a hurtful indifference, if not positive hostility, to the wel- fare of denominational schools. We have felt and still feel that the State colleges should be supported with the same regard for economy, and that their financial statements should show the same particularity and have the same publicity that we require in our denominational institutions. We have felt and still feel that with the meagre provision now made for the support of our common schools as compared with the outlay for the colleges, our State authorities have placed and are placing too little emphasis on the common schools ; for not only do these schools furnish all the education that the great mass of our people will ever receive, but with such poor support and such short terms for the common schools, the high schools and colleges cannot possibly do their best work on the students turned out from these schools. We have felt and still feel that in view of the extent and quality of the work done by the denominational colleges, furnishing, as they do, so large a proportion of the buildings and equipment and turning out more than half the college-trained men and women in the State, so far from opposition or even indifference, the public authori- ties should clearly recognize and in every proper way cordially promote the interests of these denominational colleges. And, finally, while recognizing clearly the necessity and high value of our State colleges, we wish to record the profound convic- tion that in the nature of the case, the State does not and never can meet the requirements of Christianity in the field of education ; that the State does not and never can supply the teaching practiced by our Lord and inculcated upon us by Him any more than it can supply the preaching and administer the ordinances com- manded by Him, and that education divorced from religion is even more disastrous than no education. Current history is showing us 80 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTIOX today in Russia the baleful effects of no education and in Germany the still more baleful effects of anti-Christian State education. And, finally, we reaffirm with all possible emphasis that the main- tenance and enlargement of our Christian schools is a fundamental condition of denominational progress ; and we are almost ready to say, is essential to our very existence. All of which, witli the appended financial statement, is respect- fully submitted. j^ rp y^^.^-^ CnrrcspoMimj Sccrctanj. Addendum. At the conference mentioned above, there were sixty-seven breth- ren in attendance. After prayerful and free discussion continuing throughout the afternoon, it was unanimously agreed to advise that the Board recommend to the Convention the launching of the pro- posed campaign for one million dollars, beginning January 1, 1918. In view of all the facts recited, we recommend that the Board be instructed to arrange as soon as practicable for the most effec- tive prosecution of the campaign, under the plan of raising the entire amount in cash and subscriptions within a period of four years, with the subscriptions payable at the option of the donors within four years from the dates of their making ; provided this comports with the arrangement which it is hoped can be made with the General Education Board in New York.

Briggs, Auditor. [APPENDIX C] REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON SOCIAL SERVICE Uiuler the new arrangement adopted by the Convention two years ago, a Social Service Committee was appointed, whicli Committee is to prepare and have published a report on Social Service, embrac- ing the work of Social Service in general, Temperance, the Orphan- age. Ministerial Relief, and other related subjects. In compliance with the instruction of the Convention, we. your Committee, herewith submit our report. Tlie Section on Social Service Work in general was written by Mr. K. F. Beasley. the Comissioner of Social Service for the State: SOCIAL SERVICE WORK. The modern term Social Service may be defined as any form of activity designed to affect for the better a class of people or to improve community conditions. It is distinguished from personal service in that it is not confined to indiviudal efforts or results, but embraces classes and conditions and is achiev.ed through some form of organized effort or co-operation. For the present i)Uipose we may group the many agencies of social work into four general classifications. This classification is not iron clad, and often different agencies tend to overlap, but some degree of classification is necessary in order to understand clearly a subject about which there has come to be a great deal of talk. Some of which is confusing. These groupings are : official boards and pul>lic officers ; private charitalile organizations ; commercial bodies, and the churches. Each of these agencies has a more or less i)articular field for its work. The iiu])lic agencies have the care of the dependent, the defective and the delinquent. Government activity is being rapidly extended in two directions. First, for the more complete care of the present wastage which modern society is grinding out in great numbers, and seccmd, inve.stigation for the discovery and application of preventive measures. Private philanthropic organizations deal with individual cases of suffering and are more or less organized alms giving. They are wise attempts at economy and efficiency in this direction. Commercial bodies are being organized everywhere for the pur- l)0se of studying and bettering the material conditions and sur- roundings of their localities. They see questions from the angle of the business life of the community. Material prosperity means a large, contented, industrious, and orderly and well rewarded ci- tizenship. Toward this end our commercial bodies concern them- MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 S3 selves with public liealtli conditions, clean streets, parks and play grounds, public baths, art galleries, schools, gymnasiums, town plan- ning, efficient government, and kindred subjects. Coming to the social work of the religious organizations, we are met with some differences of opinion as to just what functions the church should assume. In practical operation the churches liave al- ways been engaged in social welfare. Possibly there will be no denial that the primary function of the cliurch is spiritual and moral leadership. Perhaps few people will even be found who will contend that this moral and spiritual leadership should be confined to individual application to its own membership. In practical opera- tion the church has gone atield from this position. The logic of events has carried it away. When the church prays that the King- dom may come upon earth as it is in lieaven, it assumes the obligation of doing all that it can to bring about tlie Kingdom on earth. The question at issue then becomes one of expediency as to how far it is best to go in outside work to bring about conditions conducive to tlie spread of the Kingdom upon eartli. Evidentl\ that point must be the line wliere the spiritual and moral func- tion of the cluirch is not injured, but helped. Finding that point is a work demanding wisdom, experiment and observation. Some in- dividual churches and some denominational organizations find tliis point at one place and some at another. It is not becoming in one to lie dogmatic or critical in relation to the other. As long as the main consideration seems to be conscientiously kept in mind there would seem to be room for much latitude. It cannot be denied that the church as such has this two fold function, for a cliurch is only an aggregation of individual Christians organized for tlae pur- pose of co-operating in doing those things that individual Cliris- tians do. And the two fold function finds abundant warrant in the teachings of Christ, and in none more forcibly than these words : "Thou Shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind ; tliis is the greatest and first commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." Now, among those things with which God lias endowed us is the gift of common sense and we are to exer else some judgment in devising ways and means for effectively car- rying out His commands. Hence the church must look about it in every age and decide what that particular age demands of those who would do duty as soldiers of the cross. The Christian is certainly not loving his neighbor as himself if he is contented merely to go to cliurch and seek spiritual growth for himself while doing nothing to bring his neighbor into the righc relationship with God. Nor can a church be doing mucli in tbe world that is satisfied as a working organization to spend its time in creating aesthetic surroundings for its own members wliile great 84 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION masses of its community are in tlie clutch of inescapable physical surroundings which on their very face preclude the growth of morality and spirituality. The magnificent results which have been achieved in North Caro- lina in the fight against the indescribable evils of the whiskey traffic are due to the churches more than anything else. The churches forced the issue long before it became popular enough for the politicians to take it up. Could not the same be true as re- gards other anti-moral, anti-spiritual and anti-social conditions? Of course every church member must be a good citizen in at least a negative way. Way should he not be one in a positive way, and why should not the church as an organization throw its weight into the fight for all things that tend to make life more comfortable, sin less inviting and morality more easy? As a matter of face the church has done this very thing. Aside from those agencies of their own, such as the fine orphan- age work and other undertakings, how can our churches contribute to the spread of the Kingdom upon earth by co-operating with other agencies? In the first place, every chui'ch can contribute its moral backing and such material aid and co-operation as seems locally wise, to every one of the classes of general agencies outlined above. Certainly the aims of all are moral and tend to better conditions for spiritual growth and development among the people. As a mat- ter of fact it will be found that the moving spirits in most of those agencies are earnest members of some religious organization. Never- theless, the force and power of the organized church as such is a great aid to them. No church .'should undertake to be the dictator in its community, for then not only would it lose its influecne, but would be in danger of becoming self-complacent and bigoted, a state far removed from the true Christian spirit. Bui it should be the moral leader. There are good thinkers who feel that active social welfare must be the great outlet for the modern church if it is not to lose its primacy in moral leadership. In other words, that unless it is strong enough to assert itself in this field of practical affairs where the battle is being waged and where help is so sorely needed, it will not be strong enough to retain the confidence of the people as a spiritual and moral force. It is a vital question to the churches not so much as to how far they can go in this field, but as to how far they can neglect it and retain their grip upon their commission to spread the Kingdom upon earth. Personally, I think- that it is not good policy for the churches to multiply their own organizations and agencies for social work. I believe that from every standpoint it will be found best to back existing agencies and co-operate with them and not attempt to create new agencies in fields already occupied. It is well to remem- ber here that the church is not commissioned to build a big church MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 85 or a powerful organization, but to spread the Kingdom, and too much church organization per se may be a hindrance ratlier than a help. As to the public agencies for social welfare work, it is to be noted that the latitude of activity is being constantly widened. In North Carolina there is a great awakening. This was in full evi- dence during the last session of the legislature. In the passage of laws intended to better conditions in many fields, in the determina- tion to more effectively care for the dependent classes, the defectives, and to give more of the reform and less of the mere punishinent character to our penal institutions, and in many other ways, the legislators showed that behind them at home was a growing senti- ment in behalf of all these measures. The powers of the Board of Charities and Public Welfare were largely increased and the board commissioned to undertake things that have not before been done in North Carolina. In addition to caring for the classes now in our institutions, we will undertake to inaugurate plans for sup- plementing the orphanage work of the churches in caring for help- less children. We are" charged with the creation of county boards of public welfare. These boards should offer the Christian people and the organized churches in every community a rallying point for concentrating in the care of the poor, the afflicted, the drifting children, and in seeking to discover and eradicate bad conditions. Surely the churches could do nothing better than to actively co- operate in the creating and functioning of these local boards, each with a regular public welfare official. Also, the State board is charged with the duty of investigation and seeking the causes of all bad social conditions and suggesting if possible means for pre- vention and amelioration. In this work the State board welcomes with outstretched arms all the aid and co-operationn that all churches and denominational organizations can give. R. F. Beaslev. Raleigh, N. C. The following report was prepared by Brother M. li. Kesler, Gen- eral Manager of the Thomasville Orphanage, and is adopted by the Committee as their report on the Orphanage : THOMASVILLE BAPTIST ORPHANAGE. The Orphanage, like a home, can have no definite fiscal year. Such an arrangement is made only for the convenience of the treasurer, but in reality, for us, school never breaks ; there are no vacation silences, and the tide of life goes on with the little ebb and flow. For two years the number of children has remained practically the same. At the Annual Meeting in June we had 505. We cannot increase the 86 :V. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTIOX number for lack of room. Since last Convention we have received eighty and turned away many times that number. There has been no death and very little sickness during the year. One cottage, the Miles Durham A'ursery, had a scourge of measles, but it went no further, thanks to the cottage system. The work of tlie school has been greatly enriched by an improve- ment in the domestic science departments, and by the addition of a business course. The two school rooms, now nearing completion, will greatly improve the equipment for the school. One grade has been driven to the old laundry. The present addition will prevent such crowding for years to come. While the religious life among the boys and girls is not all that we could wish, we have been encouraged by the results of a great meeting in which our pastor, Dr. Mercer, was assisted by Dr. and Mrs. Dew. More than forty children were received by baptism and those already in the church were greatly helped. The work of the B. y. P. U. began a year ago continues its work of training the larger boys and girls. Financially this has beeu the best year we have ever had. Two years ago we were in debt $42,000. The Thanksgiving offerings for the two years past cleared us of debt. The regular contributions to the current fund have held up well, but not well enough to keep us entirely out of debt. At the time of the writing of this report the debt is ten thousand dollars. The per capita cost of living per month has gone from $9.50 two years ago to about $11.00 or $11.50 at present. We do not yet know the result of the "One Day for the Orphanage Thank Offering" appeal, but there is no reason why it should not be the greatest we have ever had. Although many calls are coming from many and new sources of distress we must not forget that the widow and the orphan are the first to feel the pinch of war prices. Last year our current fund was, in round numbers, ,$65,000. This year it must reach $70,000 or we shall fall behind. Our crops have been good. The seasons were too wet for some crops, but upon the whole, they have been good. At Thomasville a large part of the crop is devoted to feed for the large and in- creasing herd of Holstein cattle. The farm at the Kennedy Home, while it suffered from excessive rains, will make a profit of four or five thousand dollars. For two years we have done no building, but at present the sound of the hammer and the saw is heard at both ends of the line. As already stated, an addition to the school building at Thomasville will soon be ready for use. This consists of two school rooms with a good basement under them. This gives most valu- able space. At the Kennedy Home the cottage given by Mrs. Ken- nedy will be completed in a short while. This will give room for MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 87 thirty more boys. At last the chapel at that place has been begun. Tlie plan of the building gives three regular size school-rooms for day school as well as Sunday-school work, and so arranged that they can be opened into tlie main auditorium. Our scliool worlc there, as well as tlie chui-ch worlc, is suffering for laclc of a plant in which to work. Tliis building, to be at all adequate for present purposes, must, at current prices, cost from $7,500 to $8,000. The Committee has decided to go as far as the money goes and stop. It looks now that we sliall lack a thousand or fifteen liundred dol- lars, for this, the most needed piece of equipment for our work. In making this, from tlie nature of the case, partial report, we are keenly aware of the fact that no account is taken of the anx- ieties, the suspense, the hopes and fears attendant upon the work of directing this large group of children committed to our care. These cannot be reduced to forms suitable to report. With this contemplation in view we find our thouglits taking the form of thanksgiving and prayer, and thus we would rest in faitli on Him who has been "our help in ages past, our hope for years to come." M. L. Kesler, General Manager. Thomasville, N. C. At the request of tlie Committee. Brother J. M. Ariiette, Corre- siK)nding Secretary of the Ministers' Relief Board, furnished the following report : BAPTIST MINISTERS' RELIEF BOARD. As it is written "How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of ])eace and bring glad tidings of good things." At the Southern Baptist Convention at Asheville, Brother Sams, formerly of North Carolina, but now of Virginia, told of an old mouuntain preacher who wore out seven pairs of Sunday boots climbing the mountains to preach to lost men. Several of that kind of preachers are now receiving aid from this board. A number of the beneficiaries have done a more conspicuous work in the eyes of men, but, perhaps, not more conspicuous in the eyes of God. Tliere are at present thirty-six beneficiaries. Some of them have spent their lives amid the caves and coves ; others have preached in the city centers but everyone, so far as we can learn, has faithfully proclamed the "glad tidings of good things." Thirty years ago this Conventoin was confronted witli this ques- tion : Shall not provision be made for the minister who after having preached "the unsearchable riches of the Christ" is himself finan- cially poor? who, after haven "broken the bread of life" unto others, is himself physically hungry? And who, after having told us of 88 K. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION the "'wedding garment" is now sliiveriug in the cold? This ques- tion was answered by the establishment of the Ministers' Relief Board. Another question will soon force itself upon tliis Convention, name- ly : shall not a more adequate provision be made for those who have put their all into the Kingdom of God? The day of the "half- time" preacher is nearing its end. It is very difficult today for the preacher to give half of his time to other work and measure up to the demands of the present day pastorate. Hence, very many more preachers than formerly are giving their entire time to the preaching of the gospel and when they shall have reached the "dead line" they will have no little farm, small business, or trade to bring them a partial support. The amounts we now give are very inadequate when the preacher has given his all into the Kingdom ^nd saved nothing. We discount the preacher who commercializes his life and saves money. Shall we not then be prepared to support him more adequately when he can no longer support himself and want creeps upon him? Therefore as a preparedness measure we recommend : 1. That the Convention urge each church to give to this object an amount equivalent to five per cent of the salary paid to its pastor. 2. That the Convention instruct the Board to change its consti- tution so as to read "not less than one-third to be invested as a l>eEmanent investment fund" instead of "one-third" to be so in- vested as our instructions now read. Such change would enable the Board to put on interest any accumulation of funds in excess of current needs. 3. We call attention to the commission appointed by the South- ern Baptist Convention last May in New Orleans to formulate a plan for Ministerial Relief on a scale very much larger than any- thing ever undertaken by Southern Baptists, and commend the effort on the part of the commission to meet in an adequate way the great needs of this problem and we respectfully request this Convention to authorize this Board to take up the matter with the commission and report its findings to the next meeting of this Convention. We call attention to the Christmas offering, hoping that it may be a truly great offering this year. J. M. Arnette, Corresponding Secretary. Mebane, N. C.

Since our Convention met a year ago, the temperance forces in tlie country at large liave made gratifying progress. Tlie prohibi- tion bill for the District of Columbia went into effect on October 31. It is very encouraging to know that the Capital of our great nation is now dry and this sets a worthy example to the other towns and cities throughout the country. In the late general elections, substantial gains were made for prohibition. New Mexico went dry, and Ohio is at the time this report is written in doubt, but prohibition has probably failed by a margin of something like 1700. Two years ago tlie whiskey forces carried the State by a majority of 55,408. Even granting that the State was carried by the wets, the tremendous decrease in their vote is the handwriting on the wall which points to the doom of the whiskey traffic even in Ohio, which is headquarters for the liiquor Dealers' Association. Other general legislation was the Jones Amendment in Congress which forbids the use of the mails for all liquor advertising matter, and the Reed Amendment, which prohibits the conveying of liquor, except for medicinal purposes, into any dry territory. The great question before Congress now is the submission of national prohibition to the States of the Union. This bill passed the Senate last August and will come up in the House when Congress reconvenes. It seems now quite likely that the bill will be passed and that the States will liave the Dppor- tunity of voting on national prohibition. If three-fourths of the States vote for prohibition, that makes it a national law. We have the machinery in this State for the suppression of the liquor traffic. Our great trouble is in having our prohibition laws enforced. Since the Reed Amendment went into effect prohibiting the transportation of liquor into dry territory, illicit distilling has taken on fresh vigor. Mr. J. W. Bailey, Collector for the Eastern District, gives a rather gloomy statement in regard to law enforce- ment. There are fifty counties in his District, each with a sheriff and several deputies. The Revenue' Department, over which Mr. Bailey has supervision in the Eastern District, has nine deputies and these nine have done more to ferret out and destroy illicit dis- MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 91 tilleries than the fifty sheriffs with all the forces they have. This appears to be pretty strong evidence that many of our State officers, if not in sympathy with the liquor traffic, are at least very remiss in the discharge of their duties. We believe the great work before the temperance people of this State now is to see to it that men are elected to office who will perform their sworn duty by enforc- ing the law. Practically the only temperance legislation given to us by the last General Assembly in this State was a bill making blockading a felony with a minimum punishment of twelve months in the State Prison. If county officials were vigilant in their efforts to detect blockaders, the whiskey business could be effectually stopped. Livingston Johnson. Gilbert Stephenson. Charles L. Greaves, W. O.

Since our last Convention Brother Moore has been called to be Managing Editor of the Sunday School Board of the Southern Bap- tist Convention. It was with sincere regret that the Directors accepted the resig- nation of Dr. Moore. While he was in editorial charge of the Recorder, the paper was sound in doctrine, aggressive in policy, interesting as to matter, and appreciated by the brotherhood. Dr. Moore made thousands of friends who grieved to see him leave the State, but whose prayers for his success in his new work have followed him to his present field of labor. When the relations be- tween the Directors and Dr. Moore were severed, suitable resolu- tions were adopted and published in the Reorder which expressed the high appreciation in which he was held by the Directors. As Dr. Moore's resignation was offered in June, and his work with the Sunday School Board was to begin the first of August, it became necessary for the Directors to secure a successor. At a meeting held on June 19, Livingston Johnson was elected to suc- ceed Dr. Moore. After a few days of very earnest consideration, he accepted the position, subject to the ratification of a joint com- mittee composed of the Directors of the Recorder and five breth- ren to be appointed by this Convention. The life of the Biblical Recorder runs back across the years almost to the organization of the Convention. In 1830 the Conven- tion was organized, and in 1833 the Recorder was founded an'i adopted as the organ of the Baptist State Convention. Through all these years it has stood for the work of the Convention. Its columns have been open to the representatives of the several depart- ments. It has been a means of communication between the churches. It has given all its influence to the promotion of every interest fostered by the Convention. The relation of the Recorder to the Convention is quite unique. So far as we know, there is nothing like it in any of the other States. The Convention has editorial control of the paper without assuming financial responsibilty. When the Recorder changed hands seventeen years ago, the property was offered to the Con- vention, but it declined to buy. A resolution was adopted asking the editor to organize a joint stock company for the purpose of owning and publishing the paper. This was done and in this way the paper was conducted for seven years. Then the present ar- MINUTE8 OF SESSION 1917 S)S raugemeut, at the suggestion of the Directors, was entered into. The Directors made this recommendation because they desired the closest possible relation between the paper and the denomination. This plan has worked well so far as the Convention is concerned, and we believe that it is the best that has yet been devised by any State. The mi.ssion of tlie Recorder is to serve the donomination and through the denomination the Kingdom at large. The stockholders did not purchase it with a view to making money. They determined at the first that it would be regarded as a denominational agency and not a money-making enterprise. They rejoice that it has had an imi)ortant part in the ongoing of the Kingdom, and they sincerely trust that its influence may become more potent as the years go by. The Recorder lives to serve and when it ceases to be of service, its mission will have ended. Because of the relation that exists between the denomination and the Recorder, We think it not inappropriate to state that, in our opinion, the Recorder has not had the support from the denomi- nation which it deserves. There is not a department of our work but would be seriously crippled if the paper should cease to exist. It is used by those in charge of our institutions and our various departments of work as the means of imparting information to the denomination and of soliciting support. The paper is the denomi- national pack-horse. Hundreds of dollars worth of space is given every year to our institutions and this is the finest advertising they receive. This space is cheerfully given, because the mission of the paper is to help the work along all lines. But while the Re- corder has thus served the denomination, it has not been sustained. During the last year or two, it has scarcely made expenses, and had it not been that the Recorder Company had erected a building, at the suggestion of the Mission Board, whose rent is used to pay the expenses of the paper, it could not haye lived this long. Sometime ago the Directors decided to eliminate patent medicine advertisements. This was done in deference to what they believed to be the wish of the denomination. The elimination of these ad- vertisements has caused a loss of from $2,000 to $2,500 a year. Since the war began prices have been climbing steadily. We had hoped to meet the increased expenss by putting the subscription price at $2.00 a year, but as the price of paper and other material continued to rise, we found that the small increase in the sub- scription price did not make up for the loss. Unobjectionable advertising has dropped down to the minimum. Merchants do not have a sufficient stock of all kinds of goods to supply their custo- mers. Manufacturies are running day and night and cannot keep up with their orders, so that advertising is no longer necessary to secure business, and as a consequence the paper is carrying not 04 N. C. BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION more than half the amount of advertising it did three or four years ago. Because of these conditions, we regret the necessitj- of liaving to reduce tlie size of tlie paper. It was a choice between reducing the size or printing the paper on very inferior material, and the Directors thought the first alternative the better. Re- duced to the size we propose, however, we shall give to the readers as much reading matter as they had when we carried more adver- tising. So long as we furnish the amount of reading matter we did in the days when the Recorder paid expenses, we feel confident the denomination will not complain at the smaller size. We shall endeavor to make up in quality what is lost in quantity. Another cause of loss is the large amount of unpaid subscriptions. Something like a fourth of the subscriptions to the Recorder are not paid. We not only lose this money, but the postage bill in trying to collect it is no inconsiderable item of expense, and this will be fifty per cent greater in the future, as postage has gone up to three cents. We respectfull}' offer to the Convention the following suggestions : First, that the Convention request the churches to observe at some convenient time a Recorder Day at which time the claims of the Recorder will be presented by the pastor, or some one whom he may select for the purpose. Second, that in every church a committee on Biblical Recorder be appointed, whose duty it shall be to solicit subscribers. Third, that pastors call attention of their members to the obliga- tion the denomination is under to sustain the Recorder, an obliga- tion as strong as are the claims of Missions, or any other object of the Convention. In their report to the Board of Missions, the women make the following gratifying statement : "During the thirty-one years of our history, the Biblical Recor- der and its editors have used every means in their power to promote for the coming year is to place the Recorder in every home repre- sented in our missionary societies, and by systematic effort to enlarge the circulation of the Recorder among our women." This is the most hopeful note we have had in a long time in regard to the Recorder. When our good women undertake to do a thing, they always accomplish it. and as they have pledged their support and co-operation to the interests of the Recorder, we feel sure that in them we have an ally whose value cannot be estimated. It has been a pleasure for the Recorder to use its influence for the Woman's Work, and even without this assurance of appreciation on their jiart. it would have continued to give the work of the women a whole-hearted support.

MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 183 STATISTICAL SUMMARY The preceding pages comprise my tenth annual report as Statis- tical Secretarj-. I prepare this summary for the busy reader who does not have the time or the inclination to "dig through' more than eighty pages of compat facts. To date, December 1st, I have the minutes of twenty-four Asso- ciations and written reports on blank forms from thirty-six others. No report was received from the Catawba River, Liberty-Duck- town, Stony Fork and Tuekaseigee Associations. In justice to the clerk of the last it ought to be said the letters were burned with his home before they could be tabulated. The Dock Association was formed from the Brunswick. Data received after all addi- tions were closed show an error in table used. Mill Creek is not in this Association, but Magnolia and Palymyra belong to it. In church membership and Sunday-school membership we were compelled to use year old data in many cases. From over 200 letters sent to delinquent churches, we received much data making the report far more accurate and complete than • it could have been without it. Churches and Membership. We have 2173 churches in sixty-five Associations. The mem- beship is now 283,095. This is a gain over last year of 3,258 which is the smallest gain in many years. The gain in churches is twelve. This year we dropped from the roll several churches re- ported as "dead". Several others have made no report in years. Baptisms. There has been a distressing loss this year and in 1916. There were reported this year 13,964 — a loss of 2,137. Last year we lost 1,802 as compared with 1915. This is a total loss of 3,939 in two years. Of the 2,173 churches 1,454 report baptisms with 710 making no report of any. Practically one-third of our churches seem to have done nothing in this the greatest of our activities.. Ai-e we losing our evangelistic power? Contributing and Non-Contributing Churches. The wise business man considers his liabilities as well as his assets. When we make our averages, we consider the "do-nothing" churches along with the active ones. A subsequent paragraph will show what the contributing churches are doing for the several objects. When we study these non-contributing churches, remember I have included those whose 1916 membership was used, those who with no membership reported and those that failed to report to 184 X. C. BAPTIST STATE COXVEXTIOX their Associatiou. but did report to me on blank postcards sent out. It would be fair to add about seventy to the first group and subtract the same from the last one. "We give the number of churches that gave to the several Con- vention objects and those that did not. The first number contri- buting to the several objects, and the last those reporting no contributions: To some Convention object, 1,864 — 309: to State Missions, 1630-543 : to Home Missions, 1551-622 : to Foreign Missions, 1,551 — 622 : to Foreign Missions, 1.556 — 617 : to Sunday School Missions, 725—1,448; to Christian Education, 885—1,288; to Ministerial Relief, 1,020—1,153. Contributions to Cox^-extiox Objects. The amounts reported to Convention objects are as follows — State Missions. $57,835.58; Home Missions, |39.822.93; Foreign Mis- sions, $60,209.11; Sunday School Missions, $4,923.73: Orphanage. $67,800.28; Cliristian Education. $17,853.55; Ministerial Relief. $6,- 240.49: Total, $254,685.67. This is an aggregate gain over last year of $20,422.71. It is clear to most people that the above amounts are for Associational years ending from May to November. It also includes money for Associational Missions, money sent to the Orphanage and that sent direct to Home and Foreign Boards in Atlanta and Riclimond. With this statement no one Avould ex- pect these totals to agj-ee with the totals of the Convention Treas- urer whose fiscal year closes November 20tli. Associations Leading.

Peb Capita Contributions. For all Convention objects the per capita is uinnety cents. This is a gain of six cents over 1916. If we consider only those wlio give the per capita would be over $2.00. Seventeen Associations have averaged over $1.00 per member as follows: Piedmont $2.22; Ceu- MINUTES OF SESSION 1911 185 tral .$1.99; Roanoke $1.99; Pee Dee $1.84; Mecklenburg-Cabarrus $1.68; West Chowan $1.65; Neuse-Atlantic $1.64; Raleigh $1.57; Robeson $1.42 ; Mt. Zion $1.38 ; Cumberland $1.12 ; Wilmington $1.11 Flat RiA-er $1.10; South Fork $1.10; Chowan $1.09; Pilot Moun- tain $1.08 ; Buncombe $1.07. Five other Associations gave above the State average as follows: Beulah 92c; Eastern 92c; Liberty 94c South Yadkin 93c Tar River 91c. Other Averages. The average church membership is 130. Of the 1454 reporting baptisms the average is nearly ten. Of the contributing churches to Convention objects tlie average is as follows : State Missions $34.86: Home Missions $25.68; Foreign Missions $38.69: Sunday School Missions, $6.79 ; Orphanage $39.97 ; Christian Education $20.17 Ministerial Relief $6.10; All objects $136.63. Sunday Schools. There are now 2,151 schools which is a gain of twenty-eight. The membership is 219,921 — a loss of 1,167. Tliere are 113 branch schools reported. Very few of these have reported their membership and practically none of them their superintendents. There seems now to be 135 churches that have no Sunday-schools. We have used 1916 data in churches when we were reasonably sure there are schools. Our churches became much confused about "Missions in the Sun- day-schools" and "Sunday School Missions." Treasurer Durham this year reported $3,051.09 for "Sunday School Missions." The Sunday School Board paid $500.00 of this. The churches sent $2,551.09. In the Associations the churches reported $4,923.73. Many count money raised in the Sunday-school for "Home, State and Foreign Missions" as "Sunday School Missions." From Nashville we learn that North Carolina now has 4,472 Nor- mal Diplomas, 561 Red Seals, 172 Blue Seals, twenty-eight Post Grad- uate Diplomas, eighteen A-1 or Standard Sunday-schools and 578 registered Organized Classes with a membership of 17,672. Colleges and Schools. We now have three colleges and fourteen higli schools under denominational control. Since the last report South Fork Insti- tute has closed and the property ordered sold. Tlie property of these institutions is valued at $1,451,000. They have 182 officers and teachers with an enrollment last year of 3,535. The State co- operates with the Southern Baptist Theological Semiunary, and the Woman's Training School at Louisville, Ky. These two instiutions have property worth $1,735,000 with about twenty teachers and 450 students. There are four other institutions in the State owned and controlled by Baptists but not under denominational control. 186 X. C. BAPTIST STATE COyVENTION They have nearly 1,000 student and property worth nearly a half million dollars'. Baptist Young People's Unions. The B. y. P. TJ.'s have rapidly increased in numbers and eCficieucj From 300 a year ago, their number has gone forward to 500. This inncludes both Senior and Junior organizations. Their enrollment is, in round numbers, 15,000. One of the most popular phases ol the work among the young people is the Systematic Bible Readers' Course, with about one-fourth of the entire membership engaged iii it. The number of Standard, or A-1 Unions has advanced from twenty a year ago to forty at this time. There are ten general B. T. P. U. Organizations ; and in practically every one of our Bap- tist schools and colleges the number of Unions range from one to four. A B. Y. P. U. State Convention is held annually, composed of all the Senior and Junior Unions in the State, togetlier with representatives of regular Baptist churches in which no young people's organization exists. Woman's Work. The Woman's Missionary Union now has missionary societies in fifty-five Associations. Fifty-one of these have Associational Unions and are working under the direction of superintendents. During the year thirty-eight Associational meetings were alteuded by members of the W. M. U. Executive Committee or their repre- sentatives. 6,985 mUes were traveld by officers of the Committee in the interest of missions, and 7,392 miles by the Associational Superintendents. 322 new societies were organized during the year. In all, there are now 1484 societies active in the missionary endeavor. Of these, 734 are Women's Missionary Societies, 213 are Y. W. A.'s and G, A.'s, 55 R. A.'s and 482 Sunbeam Bands. The W, M. U. contributions for 1916-1917 were $50,849.79 for regular objects, $4984.39 for Judson Centennial and Church Build- ing and Loan Fund, and $3,897.59 for the Foreign Mission Debt, making a grand total of $59,731.77. This was $10,731.77 al)0ve the aim for the year. Thirty-three Associations made a ten per cent increase in their gifts of the previous year. The Central and West Chowan Associations each gave over $3,900.00, and the Buncomh*^, Mecklenburg-Cabarrus, Mt. Zion, Pilot Mt., Roanoke, Raleigh, r.nd Robeson gave more than $2,000.00 each. MINUTES OF SESSION 1917 187 LIST OF ORDAINED MINISTERS This is as nearly a new list as we could make it. We have used all available data from every Association from which we could get a report and in others we used 1916 reports. We worked on the basis that former lists had been destroyed. We prepared a card index of all ministers and then copied this for the printers. After this was done we checked by the old list and made as many corrections and additions as we could and solicited data from others who know our ministry. Of course, there are errors yet, but we have tried faithfully to make the list correct. Many pastors have moved since the meeting of the Associations. Many Associational Clerks give more than one post office to the same man. If any one is enrolled who ought not to be, let some one give this information. Those marked * are pastors. *Abee, O.
