NORTH CHINA MISSIONARY
. SOCIETY INAUGURATED.
Flint River Baptists Begin an Im
portant Work in The New
Republc in China.
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.
Time Extended For Crosses of
Honor.
Those who read the proceedings
of the meeting of the U. D. C. in
the State Convention at Athens
and also at the national conven
tion in Washington City remem
ber that, after some discussion on
the subject, it was decided to ex
tend the time for a few years at
least of presenting crosses of
honor, both to the veterans and
their descendants.
Therefore, any desiring Crosses
of Honor on Memorial day, April
26th, should make application now
and get blanks from Mrs. J. G.
Smith.
FOUR NAIL BROTHERS
ARE CIVIL WAR HEROES.
All Four Fought In Same Comp
any. All Four Were
Wounded.
In the four Nail brothers Henry
county holds a rare possession.
These are Messrs. R. W. Nail, R.
J. Nail, Thomas J. Nail, and B. W.
Nail.
These four brothers were all
brave Confederate soldiers. They
all enlisted in a Henry County
Company, Company H. of the 27th
Georgia Regiment, and side by
side they fought for their flag in
one command.
• And all four bear in their bodies
marks of the fighting, for each
was wounded in battle.
Henry county should be very
proud of such heroes of the faith
of the fathers, for they are as ex
cellent citizens in peace as they
were brave soldiers in war.
Mr. R. J. Nail is the eldest and
is 89 years of age.
