At a recent session of the Georgia Baptint Con

i b charged with the responsible duty of promoting
the interest of all the Missions in which the Goor

Home and Foreign Missions, and the Sunday
school work in the Htate. To meet the action of
the Convention, and maintain unity, simplicity
and economy in the work assigned them, the
committee have appointed Rev. C. M. Irwin sole
agent tor Missions in the State. Thus, without
so manv agencies, the work is concentrated, ana
simplified, and economized, and yet does not an
tagonize, but co-operates with the Home and
Foreign Mission Boards of the Southern Baptist
Aslhe work of our agent is chiefly that of an
organizer, we t>eg every Association, every pastor,
every church, and every Baptist in the btate will
co-operate witli him in such plan* as he may sug

spirit of Missions. Give us your earnest prayers
and influence, and all the material aid you can;
we shall then be able to report to the next Geor

Mission work have been largely increased, and
that our Sunday-school work still prospers, and
that every destitute place in our State has been
supplied with the Gospel. ,
The Committee take great pleasure in Saying
they have appointed Bro. T. C. Boykin Sunday
school Evangelist for the States and beg the
hearty co-operation of every pastor and church

TO FABTOKB. CHURCHES, AND EVERY BAP
TIST IN GEORGIA.
I beg vonr earnest co-operation in the work to
which I have been appointed by the “ Committee
of Missions” of the Georgia Baptist Convention.
I ask your forbearance for any mistakes I may
make, and your earned prayer* that success may
attend my efforts. As it is made my chief duty to
i naugurato some plan of systematic contributions,
to be adopted by the churches where they have
none, I respectfully suggest the following:
1. Let each church api>oint a Mission Commit
ee, of two, four or more brethren and sisters, to
take charge of contributions lor our Mission
work. Tins committee then becomes the agent
of the church, to call upou every member, and
see how much each will give weekly, monthly or
quarterly, for Mission and Sunday-school work;
and said committee will he expected to make a
monthly or quarterly report of the amount con
tributed and collected to the clmreh in conference,
and what disposition has boon made of these funds.
The funds thus collected should be disposed of ac
cording to the instructions of the donor, or of the
church, where no specific instructions arc given.
These reports should he recorded on the church
book, and the amount given during the year
should ho reported to their Association, and
printed in the minutes. This plan every church
can easily adopt. I beg the pastors and the
churches,’ where they have not done so, to adopt
this or some similar plan, and work it faithfully.
What our missionaries need is regular contribu
tions, forwarded to them without fail. To do
this the churches nmst send their contributions
regularly. The churches cannot send contribu
tions regularly unless they systematically collect
hem regularly.
2. As most of our churches are in the country,
allow me to suggest, and, at the same time, most
earnestly entreat that the churches spend a part
of the Sunday morning of each monthly meeting
in prayer for"the Divine blessing upon our Mis
sion work. I suggest that the city and town
churches meet for this purpose the first Sunday
night in each mouth, or at such time as they
think best, I again most affectionately ask pas
tors and churclicr not to overlook the suggestions
and requests above made. If every Baptist in
Georgia will “stand ill his (or her) place,” and do
what they can, success will surely follow in our
efforts to svstematize tlio' collection of Mission
funds. 0. Brethren and Sisters, do you love
Jesus ? Then show it bv keeping his command—
“ Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel
to every creature.”
Address uit) for tlio present at Atlanta, rare of
Index. C. M. IRWIN,
Agent of Missions for Georgia.
p. R—The more speedily and effectually to
carry oht these plans, I beg that each church that
has a plan for the collection of funds for the va
rious objects mentioned, will at once communi
cate with me through their pastor or clerk. And,
as these Mission Committees are appointed by the
churches, pleasewrite me. giving the names of the
committee and their post-ofllees. I beg to hear
frequently, and solicit their correspondence,
hoping tiiey will inform me of wlmt is being
done m regard to collections for Missions.

TO THK BAPTISTS OF GEORGIA.
It has pleased the management of
The Christian Index to place my
name at the head of the columns of
the “Mission Department.” To me,
this is the most interesting depart
ment of Christian work, and if I
should he instrumental in making it so
to others, I shall be fully repaid for
any labor and pains that I may he sub
jected to.
O, to feel a del’ght in labor and
prayer! That it is a luxury to be
at pains for Christ, who was a man of
sorrows on my account! that I might
be instrumental in harmonizing the
brethren of Christ in the greatest en
deavors for His glory and Man’s good!
The columns of The Index have
been, generally, free from controversy
and unkind expressions. Those of the
Mission Department, should and must
always he free from everything unlike
the mind that was in Christ.
Contributions are solicited, of a
character suitable to the aims and ends
of the great and good work of extend
ing the Gospel of our blessed Lord
from the rivers to the ends of the earth.
We especially request articles from the
missionaries in Georgia, and out of
Georgia—in other States and in distant
lands benighted. Asa general rule,
the articles must not he long, and
should be sent to my address at Ma
con, Ga. Thos. E. Skinner.
For the Index and Baptist.
THE WAY IT W ORKS.
We are glad to hear of the success
of some of the church committees on
Missions. Brother G. A. Nunnally
tells, in the last Index, of an expla
nation made to the brethren present
at the general meeting at Freeman’s
creek, in the Appalaohee Association.
He calls it the “new departure in Mis
sious made at the Convention.” Bet
ter than the name he gives it, is the
intelligence that “it met the warm ap
proval of the delegates from the ten
churches here represented.” Do not
understand that any one that we are
aware of, objects to the nature of “new
departure.” In one sense there is
much, in another there is nothing, in a
name); it means that the churches are
departing, or separating, from the old
habit of doing nothing for missions,
to the actual work of appointing agents
or committees to prosecute the work in
the churches, then we rejoice in the
good news, and agree with brother N.
that “the returns this fall will show a
decided advance in spirit and in deed.”
We thank brother Nunnallv for his
efficient zeal in the work. It is as nat
ural to him as breathing; when all the
churches take hold of it, Georgia Bap
tists will surprise themselves.
As an incentive, we mention the sub
stance of the report of the Committee
on Missions of the First Baptist church
of Macon, Georgia. As the result of
two months work, on last Wednesday,
the Chairman reported only one hun
dred and eighteen members as subscri
bers, and the sum secured for missions
for the year 1876, commencing on Ist
May, was §452,00,
Over 300 names on the church reg
ister, have yet to be visited, and among
them, most of the ablest, financially,
are to be found.
We are hoping for at least SSOO 00
for Missions by the First church. The
pastor is ex-ojjicio Chairman of the
Committee, but brother S. Boykin is
the renl Chairman, and out of nine
members on the Committee six are
ladies.
Why shouldn’t the women of the
churches work ? They would long
since have done this work and done it
well, had they been noticed and urged
forward to it. Brother Boykin’s effi
ciency is most praiseworthy.
We ask earnestly, that the Com
mittees in all the churches, on Mis
sions will forward to the Chairman, T.
E. Skinner, at Macon, the result of
their labors quarterly, or as often as
tbey will, for the encouragement of the
good work in all the churches. We
want facts, amounts, incidents, etc.
that we may publish them in the Mis
sion columnsof The Index. i
By incidents, we mean something
like that related in the article below
this. Thos. E. Skinnek.
For the Index and Baptist.
AN INCIDENT IN MISSION ATOBK.
The story goes thus: Aged brother
Overby was called to take the pastorate
of a church in Pasgnotonk county,
North Carolina. It was a large and
wealthy country church. They offered
him a home, where he could make a
support for his family, and S4OO 00 a
year to preach "two Sundays in the
month. To the surprise of the brethren
he declined what they believed was a
good offer on their part.
As was natural, the committee to
look out for a pastor, asked brother 0.
what would satisfy him ; '“‘“qUbf-'W
more salary did he require F They
thought that was a pretty good salary.
That was true ; here was a living on
the little farm of 175 acres, which, with
a little hired help and “the boys,”
could make a support for the family,
and then there was the §400.00 for
pocket money. A better salary far
than most of city pastors get, who are
usually short a few hundreds every
year, you know, from the exactions of
the city people and city customs, etc.
Brother O. answered, “O ! the salary
will do well enough.” “Well, then,
what is your objection to serving us ?”
asked the perplexed brethren of the
committee.
“Well, I’ll tell you the truth. I can’t
afford lo serve you two Sundays in the
month for that salary ; hut, if you will
put it every Sunday in the year, and
every day out of the 865 days in the
year, why, then, I will accept your call
at the salary named.”
“O, no 1” smiled the brethren, “why
to he sure, we will agree to that.”
“Well, said brother 0., “it is a bar
gain.”
Wouldn’t it he well if the brethren
everywhere would remember that a call
of a pastor to a church was “a bargain ?”
Especially about the time for “settling
up.’
It is proper to remark here, that
brother O. was like Moses in one par
ticular —that in ordinary conversation
he stuttered fearfully, but never in the
pulpit. Very singular, wasn’t it ?
One question brother O. asked the
committee after the “bargain” was
made, was, “what does your church do
for Mis-Mis-Missi-Missions, Missions ?”
This was a stunner. “What does
the man mean ?” asked one old deacon.
Said another, “Look here, brethren,
I warn you now, this here man’s gwine
to raise the price of preaching in this
here neighborhood.”
After much anxious talk, mild
counsels prevailed, and brother 0. and
his church were at work in earnest.
He said nothing more about Missions,
but preached the Gospel with that
faithfulness and unction which has
ever marked his ministry.
There was an old sister who was af*
dieted, hut who, nevertheless, always
attended church. Being unable to
walk, she was brought in a chair by
her friends and seateu near the pulpit.
She was also nearly blind.
One day she was quite happy under
the sermon, and blessed her pastor for
his comforting discourse. “Yes,” re
plied the pastor, “ But why don-don
don’t you d-do something for the
Lord?”
THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST.
“Why, hunny,” she replied, “what
can a poor old lame and blind, almost,
creeter do for the blessed Lord ?”
“Why, can’t you knit?” said the
pastor. “Yes, hunny, I can knit,”
said the old creeter, “but I haint got no
yarn.” “Very well, I’ll furnish the
yarn, if you will knit a pair of suspend
ers for the Lord Jesus. He is not here
to wear them, but I will sell them for
you, and you can put the money in the
Mission box, and it will help to sup
port a preacher in a land where there
are no preachers and no Gospel.”
The next Sunday the “old creeter”
came to church and brought the sus
penders, happier than she had been for
many a day, feeling that she not only
basked in the smile of her gratified
pastor, but with a conscience at ease,
thought that the Saviour Himself was
nearer to her than before. Now, it
was the custom of this excellent man
of God, first to get a church member
to agree to do something for the Lord,
and, after that, to labor to induce the
person to do still more and more, thus
growing in grace.
So he said to this good sister,
“Can’t you do more than knit one pair
of suspenders a week ?
“Why, to be sure ; yes, I can knit
three pair a week, if I had the yarn,”
she replied. <4
“Very well,” said the pastor, ‘“I’ll
see that you have the yarn.” Very
well,” said the “old creeter,” I’ll knit
’em sure.” And so she did, the pastor
keeping account of the sale, and stating
to the church at the end of the fiscal
year that old sister Jones, though
lame and blind, had contributed more
money to Missions (and he didn’t
stutter a bit this time) than any other
member of the church, by half.
Here began anew era, in Lawyer’s
Creek church, on the duty and luxury
of giving, as we are able, to Missions.
Dr. Poindexter said to the writer that
in one year before the war, this same
church gave to his Board the largest
sum that he received from any indi
vidual source.
If we have taken too much liberty
with our dearly beloved brother Overby,
in relating this story, which we have
heard, many years ago, or have stated
some things not as they occurred, but
as we were told, and to the best of our
recollection, we trust he will not mark
us severely, but pass our imperfec
tions by. Thos. E. Skinnek.
