More Tugalo History.
In the last article it was state
that in 1849 a Domestic Missions
Oomnjittee was appointed to solicit
funds and employ preachers to
lal>or in the rlestitute sections in
the association. In 1851 one
preacher reporting work done cal
led it th.i Domestic Missionary
Society, while the next year Rev
11. M. Barton in reporting called
it the Board, Society and Commit
tee have been approved by our
Tugalo for three quarters of a cen
tury; while from 18520n the<l!sig
nation “Board” wan adopted along
with “Committee.” The year 1.861
was a meeting of great seriousness
and sorrow because of the begin
ning of the Civil War. At that
session a committee submitted an
“Massy on Sabbath Schools,”
vhich covered 6 12 huge record
pages, and thus again the Tugalo
declared itself very progressive.
The following year the report on
“State of Religion” commended
the spritual condition of churches
having Sunday Schools and prayer
meetings and once again urges
preachers to give their whole time
to “the work of tins ministry” and
the churches “wake up to th ir
duty in regard to the support of
the gospel,and cut loose the hands
of their ministers from the cares
of this life”; while in 1868 appears
this statemen', “we rccoggize as a
prime cause of tliiH (religous) cold
ness, and low, standard of piety
the sad want of support given to
our ministers. We would there
fore recommend th it every church
in our bounds ponder and pray
over this subject, and use every
ellort to sustain our ministers in
such a manner as to relieve them
lrom manual labor, so that they
may have time to visit every mem
ber to their churches, and not only
church members but every family
in the vicinity of their churches.”
In 1875 the Association spoke
its mind very decidedly against
THE SOUTHERN EXPRESSED.

The year 1870 was notable
for the appointment of a Laymen’s
Committee, consisting of one mem
ber from each church,to co-operate
with the Domestic Mission Board.
Two years later this same Board
had a balance on hand of #27.00,
which was voted to W. J. Purcell
for board and tuition while in 1882
there was a coinmßtee appointed
to report on “Plans for contribu
tions for Missionary Purposes,”
which recommended that each
church appoint at least one brother
and sister to solicit contributions
from each member for Missions and
other obj -cts of beneficence, and to
report quarterly.
Vftcr all has been said and done
we find that the recent Campaign
and Laymen’s Movement in the
Tugalo were almost wholly follow
ing out ideas projected among us
years and years ago. Possibly one
more letter will end these histori
cal citations.
