The Flint River Baptist Associa tion, composed of Baptist churches in Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Spald ing and Pike Counties have inaug urated a missionary enterprise in Lung K’o, Shantung Province, North China. The work is to be under the supervision of Dr. T. W. Ayers, a medical missionary locat ed at Hwang Hien some eighteen miles distant. Dr. Ayers made a statement regarding this work to the representatives of the Flint River Association who attended the great Baptist Layman’s Con vention in Chattanooga last week. The city of Lung K’o is about the size of Griffin and is the center of a section about as large as Spalding, county having a popu lation of 100,000 more people than there are in Spalding, Fayette, Clayton, Henry, Pike, Butts and Campbell counties combined. Lung K’o is a port of North China, a large part of the travel to and from Manchuria passing through its gates. There is at present no re ligious work carried on by any denomination in this district, though there are about fifty native Christians living here, many of them being members of the church at Hwang Hien. Dr. Ayers tells of several visits to this sec tion, and speaks interestingly of the opportunity for missionary activity there. The plan as agreed upon is for fifteen churches of the Assocation to raise, in the next two years $50.00 each in addition to the reg ular Missionary offerings. Notes being signed by representatives of the churches which will be handled by the Foreign Mission Board, who will, with the $750.00 thus raised build at once a house of worship in Lung K’o. A Church will soon be constituted and four native preachers will be located on this work. The Flint River Association has asked that S4OO. each year be directed to the payment of the salaries of these preachers, from the regular Foreign missionary offerings. The Baptists of this Association are to be congratulated on having a definite opportunity for mission ary work which will count for much, and as the reports of this work come in from time to time they will be gratified to see defi nite results of their liberality.
