Report on Temperance

Report on Temperance read by Bro. Forbes. Spoken to by Bros. Webb, Thomas, King and others. The report was adopted.

These one-two parties in this country-liquor and antiliquor. fhis question has been made a political question for years. The passage of the Constitutional amendment excluding liquo1· from the U. S. was a God send and the result in many ways of the W. C. T. U., and also one of the benefits growing out of the war.


The Jiqpor question has behind it vast sums of money in both political parties of the present presidential campaign.

We would recommend the exclusion from our church every pe!·son who would frequently drink or sell or encourage its u~e or manufacture the same. Every one of us should stand by the Volstead Act---by no means vote for any candidate for office who is on the whiskey side. A. W. King, S. M. Crawford. J. W. Webb.

Report on Ministerial Education. The Ministerial Educational report was read by E. De

Laughter. Report was adopted after some discusssion. Following , l'i the report:

Few reports are more important than the report now offered for your consideration. The future hope of our churches lies in the leadership of our ministry. Our preachers are feeling more and more the need of better training. ' This being an age of specializing along every line of life. There ar~ a number of ministerial students now in Ouachita College dependent upon the denomination for help.

Therefore we recommend that this Association support them, not only with their good will and prayers, but with their money. E. DeLaughter, Chairman, R. M. Cagle. Green Wilson.

Moti'lr. by W. A. Forbes to take a collection Sunday morning ~t the close of the preaching service.

Report on Home Mi881ons.

Bro. Walters read the report on Home Missions. After some in•eresting discussions the report was adopted. It reads as follows:

Our Home Board works in co-operation with our State and district As11ociations and local churches. It helps both in raising funds and aiding in conducting the work.

In the past four yearo; these mountain schools have given to the world 350 preachers, 200 lawyers, 225 doctors, 30 nurses, 30 missionaries and 2,500 teachers, besides many girls and boys have returned home to become home-makers.

Red River Baptist A6sociation 9

Our Home Board work in evangeH6m has been great, until there are now some 50 evangelists and singers. Last year, through our evangelistic forces there were 12,203 saved, and 2.336 volunteers for missionary service. This department was organized in 1913.

Our Home Board organized what is known as the Church Building Department in 1912. The purpose of this department is tu aid in the building of houses of homeless churches, of wh1ch there are 4,000 in the Southern Baptist Convention.

Our Home Board has helped the negroes of the South, which number 9,500.000, of whom 3,018,000 are Baptists. We have furnished them 35 missionaries.

Our Home Board is striving to reach the 4,000,000 we have in the South of every nationality on earth. Our Home Board is O:oing splendid work among the 300.000 Indians in this couJJ·~ry, half of whom are in the South.

In 1886 the Home Board entered into their work in Cuba which ha·; a population of 2,000,000, with 230,000 of these as foreigners.

The Home Board begun our Canal Zone work in 1905 and we now have eight churches and missions there.

We recommend Mission Study Classes in all of our churches on our Home Mission work, and also the reading of the Hom<! and Foreign Field, and Training For Leadership by Maud Powell. Your Committee.

A motion was unanimously carried ing and service, that this training and service makes stronger this. work.

Motion to incorporate in the Minutes the various reports of the Women's work. ·

We, your committee on Women's Work, submit the following rtJport:

10 Red R1ver Baptist Association

At the last Association Mrs. W. S. Jones of Prescott was elected A.;sociational Superintendent, but found it impossible to accept. At the Board meeting during the State Convention Mrs. L. C. Patterson of Arkadelphia was appointed superintendent.

The number of societies in the Association are as follows: W. M. s .. 8; Sunbeams,5; Girls' Auxiliaries, 2; and Royal Ambassador'!, 1.

Kno-. mg that these organizations are a means of training and service that this training and service makes stronger church members, and developes the church financially and spiritually, we recommend: 1st-That the pastors encourage Woman''! Work and insist on organization of the young people. 2nd-Since real efficiency comes thr~mgh interest and knowledg~. that these organizations take and read Home and Foreign Fields, Royal Service and our State papers. Thelma Bishop, Mrs. W. E. Phillips, Mrs. J. M. Thomas.

Report on State Missions. Report on State Missions, read by Bro. S. K. Huffman.

Hepo1·t adopted, and is as follows: Your committee would like to impress on this body, and

through .vou and the churches of the Association the great importanl't> of our State Mission work. Many of us have lived to see that work develops from small beginning to where it now stands-touching in a helpful way every phase of Kingd'Om work. In former times "State Missions" was confined to strictly mission activities; the other phases of Kingdom work, slll:h as religious education and benevolences each being considered a separate phase of the Lord's work; and each having its board to look after its interests. But in recent years, in order to lessen the somewhat cumbersome machinery necessary to carry on the work, and· in order to abbreviate the Associational conflicts in interests that would arise the denomiation in the state decided to place the entire duties or t!lese several boards in the hands or one executive board or committee. Since this arrangement has been made, friction in the work has virtually disappeared. Now, therefore, "Stute Missions" is an expression that covers: Mission proper. RP.ligious Education and Woman's Denominational Benevolences, Orphans Home, Old Ministers Relief, etc.

On account of the recent "75 Million Campaign,'' a great advance has been made in all activities of Arkansas Baptists,


but the movement is too recent for us to have in hand financial statistics to show what has been and is being accomplished.

It seems to those who have studied this forward movement that H is destined to accomplish great good in the spread of the Gospel. We would therefore urge on our people to co-operate in the work of State Missions. S. K. Huffman, J. R. Culp, Committee.

Motion carried to adjourn until 9 o'clock Sunday morning.
