SOME PHASES OF
THE ff.EU. WORK
Address of Mrs. J. A. Hunni
cutt Before Sandy Run Min
isters' Association Meet
ing Monday.
Alexander Mill, March 30. —The
following address was delivered by
Mrs. J. A. Hunnicutt, of Cliffside,
before the Sandy Run Ministers' As
sociation at their monthly meeting
here Monday. Mrs. Hunnicutt is pres-
ident of the Sandy Run W. M. U.:
j It is both a privilege and an hon
or to address you on this occasion.
; and on a subject so dear to my own
heart. The women have written a no-
ble chapter in the history of Christ
ianity. I am glad to bring to you at
'this hour some phases of their work,
i We might trace the first Womans
; Missionary society back to Christ's
second Galilean tour, where a num
ber of devoted and consecrated wo
; men gladly gave of their substance
1 and ministered in a material way to
, Christ and his disciples. Jesus open
jed the doors of service to women,
placed sanction, accepted and bless
ed their service. He made out of
them messengers of his blessed Gos
pel, and found for them a large and
i influential place of exalted service,
i The New Testament records every
! phase of work that our women are
carrying out today in their many
i organizations. The chief aims of the
Woman's Missionary union are pray
er, study, personal service, steward-
ship of possessions and missionary
education of the young people. It is
exceedingly interesting to note the
similarity of these activities record
ed in God's word—First: prayer. We
read of a woman's prayer meeting
down by the side of a river where
prayer was wont to be made, and
this is the first recorded Christian
service ever held in Europe, and it
attracted the greatest preacher and
missionary of all time; namely, Paul.
j Second: study. We read of Mary of
j Bethany gladly sitting at the feet of
j Jesus learning, and He commended
; her desire to learn. Third: personal
i service. We have recorded many wo
| men who witnessed for their Lord,
i and the beautiful story of Dorcas,
j which has been the inspiration of
| personal service down through the
j years, and Mary's precious offering
of love, which Jesus said was to be
• forever linked with His death and
•resurrection. Fourth: stewardship of
gifts. The first record of money giv
. t-n to Jesus was by a woman, and the
1 only gifts he ever praised were the
gifts of two wmen—one poor, the
j other lich. Fifth: training young peo
[ pie. We read that in the home of
| Eunic and Lois a little boy was train-
I ed, and when he grew up he depart
j ed not from the faith of his mother
I and grandmother,
j Jesus used a woman—the woman
j 0; f Samaria—to open up a new Home
| Mission Field. He caused her thoughts
to turn quickly from material thins;*
to spiritual things, and she proved
an enthusiastic and competent wit
ness for Him. A woman, Lydia, a
consecrated business woman helped
start Christianity in Europe. This
trained, practical, faithful business
•voman used her mind, alertness and
*alents in religion as well as in busi
ness. This marked the beginning of
foreign missionary work.
The purpose of the Woman's Mis
sionary since its organization
in 1888 has been to stimulate a
missionary spirit and the grace of
giving among the women and young
people of the South, and believing
that no one can perform an un
known duty, the women have been
very definate in their aims and un
tiring in their efforts to reach them
These aims are both inclusive and
far reaching. They seek the develop
ment of homes—true christian homes
, a spiritual and loyal membership
in local churches, and world program
cf missions which Christ clearly
:aught and commanded.
Through prayer the women seek
to establish and maintain the fam
ily altar. Today many homes are
equipped with everything but family
rJtars. They urge the regular use
'n home, circles and societies the
Prayer Calendar in Royal Service,
to observe the nine o'clock hour of
prayer for world wide missions, to
>bserve the -three seasons fo pray
er for Home, State and Foreign
Missions, and read suggested books
)n prayer.
Through study the women study
missionary messages of the Bible,
missionary topics in the W. M. U.
* agazires and take at least two mis
sion study classes during the year
as recommended by the State W. M.
Through personal service the wo
men seek first of all to present their
THE FOREST CITY (N. C.) COURIER
the community who need help, and
also to make the community a hap
pier, better place to live. Some one
has said that personal service is
preaching the Gospel through works.
Through fetwtfrdship the wflomen
seek to have the tithe as a minimum
basis of giving, and encourage spe
cial offerings as a means of spirit
ual growth. During the year books
on stwardship are studied.
Lastly, mrougn the missionary
education of the young people th-:
women feel that the young people
will be hetter prepared to carry on
the great missionary work they nave
started. The local W. M. S. fosters
or mothers the junior societies in
their churches.
An organization with these aims
would naturally have a wide in
fluence and steady growth. The widen
ing, deepening current of woman's
achievements, verify the powerful
presence of the Master Himself, who
proved to be woman's greatest friend
while here on earth. He sent her to
herald his appearance and this di
vine mission has not been revoked.
There are perhaps some present to
day, who recall difficulties in many
churches, of organizing Sunday
schools. There were both ministers
and laymen who thought such an or
ganization would be detrimental to
the church. That day has passed.
No minister would be sat
isfied to serve a church which
would not foster a permanent Sun
day school organization, because the
Sunday school has proved its worth.
Has not the day arrived when min
isters and laymen should assume the
same attitude of organization and
cooperation toward woman's work?
Our churches are known as Mission
ary Baptist churches. The women fos
ter the only organization in the
church which gives itself solely to
missions. It is our prayer and earn
est desire to put missions into every
Missionary Baptist church.
In the Southern Baptist Conven
tion, consisting of 19 states, we had
last year 27,690 W. M. U. organ
izations with an enrollment of 531,-
497, giving to all purposes $4,413,-
725.26. What a wonderful .oppor
tunity and glorious privilege to be
long to such a wide awake, forward
moving body. Of the 445 foreign
missionaries on the foreign field, the
woman sent and are paying the sal
ry of 120.
Coming nearer home in our dear
North Carolina, we have 2,307
churches with 2,530 societies, with
51,287 members, their total contri
butions of 1930 were $150,985.53.
Coming even nearer home, and
I'm sure each of us are vitally con
cerned with this in Sandy Run As
sociation, we have 51 churches with
57 societies, with total membership
of 1,242, their contributions last
year being $2,743.27., while this is
good, and we are grateful for this
progress, we are not satisfied. We
have a wonderfully challenging op
portunity as therte are yet 5,479
young people and women unreached
in our association. This is a stupen
dous task. There are 28 churches
with no missionary organization.
Many of these may be considered
weak and struggling churches. They
could not be otherwise, since their
supreme purpose as a church of Je
sus Christ has been partially neg
lected; namely, the study and prac
tice of missions. Let those churches
and pastors organize and foster mis
sionary societies and their auxilaries
and their weakness will be converted
into power and glory for Jesus Christ.
I earnestly crave the support and
prayers of each pastor present to
help me enlist this large number in
Sandy Run Association. May I sug
gest to the pastors that they are
pastors of the W. M. U. too. The W.
M. U. means all the missionary or
ganizations of the church, the W.
M. S. means just the Woman's Mis
sionary Society. Pastors should study
the wonderful and far reaching work
of the W. M. U. attend the meetings
often, encourage and keep in close
contact with the presidents of the
different organizations. The pastor
can also help by teaching mission
study classes, to keep the work be
fore the church, and to attend quart
erl Y> annual, and state meetings
whenever possible.
The general or permanent watch
word for the W. M. U. is "Laborers
together with God". This watchword
is both timely and suggestive. We
are laborers. The first time Christ
ever requested his disciples to pray
was for laborers. Down through the
ag:-s that prayer has been made.
Every laborer in God's great vine
yard is an answer to that prayer.
We women feel we have a place
where we can labor, and besides our
local, state, and southwid-e Avork.
we are helping pay the heavy debt
on the boards. Women do not believe
in debt. In North Carolina some
months ago when a bank failed, ty
up l-:o stats cxp;nso -
work was at once curtailed, and |
when traveling had to be done the {
ftate workers paid their own bills. !
The only Baptist institution in the
South free from debt, is run by the
women; namely, the W. M. U.
Training School at Louisville, Ky. j
Some one has said that in the prac
tical affairs of the Kingdom women
have done "Well, and in the spiritual
they have excelled. We are not only
laborers, but we are laborers to
gether. First, We are laborers to---
gether with you ministers—your task
is our task. There is not a field of
work where we are needed or you
feel where we can serve but. that we
will not labor together with you.
Second, we are laborers together with
our church. We love it as do the
brethern, and rejoice to do all we can
for its promotion. Third, we are la
borers together with our denomina
tions, we join in all its program—
the extra that we do is in addition
to our systematic support of the
Gospel. We are laborers .together
with God. This is the most blessed
thought that we have in all that we
do. We are working with God to
help bring the Kingdom. What an
honor, privilege and glorious respon
sibility that is ours.
The W. M. U. has taken for 1931
this meaningful watchword: "Thai;
the world may know," Christ wanted
the world to know that he loved it.
What a loving message we have to
tell! The women of the south are not
content that Christ shall be to her
alone the great emancipator, the
wonderful counselor, the mighty God.
the everlasting Father, the Prince of
Peace, but she seeks through this
great world wide program to lift wo
manhood of the whole world, to the
throne of God.
We face a day of unprecedented
material growth. There are new dis
coveries and inventions on everv
hand—tools have been placed in our
hands for speeding up all other ac
tivities. Will Christianity keep pace
with the marvelous material develop
ment of the day? Our service for
Christ ought to be speeded up and
increased in proportion to these won
derful facilities. Because of the in
comparable, sacred mother love, and
because her own children must live
in this new age, the heai't of de
voted womanhood says yes, Christiani
ty must keep pace with the material
growth and development. Therefore
the plans are made large and wide
to include the whole world, and her
constant prayer is "That the world
may know" and while laboring to
gether that the world may know, v/e
are very conscious of the tremen
dous undertaking, but while we labor
and toil, we are happy in our work
for we are like—
"A maiden stood where the fields
were ripe
And gathered the Golden wheat
Gayly she sang, as she bound her
sheaves
And laid them about her feet.
One marked her there, as she pass
ed her by
Alone with her hard earned spoil
And spoke of rest for the sun was
high
And the reaper spent with toil.
But the maiden smiled as the glad
voice said
Nay, nay, I must not yield
The work is great, but the work is
sweet
For I toil in my Father's field.
So gleaners for Christ in our lone
ly toil
When weary and fain would yield
Take comfort here, tho the work
is great
We toil in our Father's field.
