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.
