Record of Baptist Mission Board. Star? of Achievements Daring Pant Year—State Convention Meets Caatnnla December H. Dr. CharlM E. Maddry. secretary of the state board of missions, just up Ms report to the Baptist state convention, which meets in Gas tonia next Tuesday, December H, gave out the following story of achievements of the Baptist mission hoard for thb past year. 'According to the latest figures giv en out by the treasurer, Walter Dur ham, the denomination has raised for aH benevolent objects included in the T5 million campaign this year (795, 036,395.93. This added to what they have previously given on the cam paign within the past four years makes a grand total of (4,086.395.93. While this figure falls below what they set out to raise, yet it is a mar velous increase over former records. Perhaps the main reason that this year's record falls somewhat below that of last year is the fact that 13 months were included in last year's report and two big Thanksgiving or phanage collections. The state mission board has had in its employ this year 199 missionary pastors. These 199 men have added to the churches the yserved 7,274 new members, and collected for missions and benevolences (69,067.18. They have collected for all purposes includ ing local church expenses nearly a hglf million dollars, (485, 695.80 to be exact. There has been a wonderful growth in the Sunday school department of tae board's work, over 9,000 new pu pils having been added and progress made in every phase of the work. The & Y. P. U. has gone forward by leaps and bounds, there being now in the state more than 1,300 of these young people's organizations. The woman's missionary union has made a marvelous record of achieve ments. They have in the state now 2^60 local organisations. The W. M U. organization of this state were asked to raise $1,100,000 on North Carolina's quota of the 75 million campaign during the five years. Al ready in the four years since the cam paign began they have paid into the treasury $1,217,050.61, far beyond what they were asked to pay in the five years. Another important phase of the state mission board's work has been in its church building department. It has expended in this work $23, 848.10. Included in this is the help extended the Chapel Hill church in building its splendid house of worship. Besides the Chapel Hill church 22 other churches have been aided in building. Still another very interesting fea ture of the board's work, which is new, is that of student work which 9m board is carrying on now at A. amf E. college in Raleigh, through the JMbn Memorial church and the N. C. college for women at Greensboro, through the Forest Avenue church of that city. A student worker 4s em ployed at both places, and they are "^^e^S^listi# deponent of the beat*'* woMk has bow very fruitfu. in its activities, hundreds having been received into the churches through the instrumentaiity of the four men in this department. They have turned into the state board's treasury $8. 072.43, tacking only $3,400.06 of meet ing att of their expenses, tt other words, these four men cost the deno mination oniy $3,400.06 for the en tire year. The board has introduced s new de partment into its already multifarious work, that of New Testament stew ardship, and this phase of the board's work gives promise of being its moat fruitfu! source of supplies. This state in common with ail the states )of the southern Baptist convention has introduced this new department, i Doctor Maddry gives out the fol lowing figures showing exactiy how the money appropriated to bis board has been expended: Saiary of missionary pastors, $58, 696.52; Sunday school department. $12,799.57; B Y. P. U. department, $7,894.96; enistmenf, $7,030.71; evangelism, $11,472.49; church build ing, $23,843.01. PEMBROKE NEWS ITEMS. Death of an Infant—Firat Brick t Church for Indiana—B. Y. P.
