5mon“clerks, and has now held this po
sition 0 many years, with distinction aud
to the great benefit ofthedeiiou.mation.
’ Tim first matter of busiuess was the
report of tee board of trustees
for Mercer University. They report
about one hundred students in the Unl-
Jereity, which they candidly confess to
he fewer than the strength of our denom
ination In the State would leadus toexj
port especially considering the ability of
our faculty, and their faithfulness to the
duties of their position. The report in
clines to a restoration of the theological
department in the college, but says a
want of funds precludes any action In the
matter. They announco that Rev. 8.
Landrum will enter actively upon the
duties of an agent for the University In
Vsv and it will bo his duty to collect
subscriptions and increase the endow
ment. Dr. Landrum’s well kuown abil
ity and strong good sense give grounds
for much hope that great and good results
will ensue from his agency. The total
amount of funds In hand now, tor the
benefit of the college, and variously in
vested. not reckoning the grounds And
buildings, in Macon, is 598,124. Inde
pendent of this are a laijM number of
subscriptions, whoso value is doubtful.

lowin': sums as the property of the con
vent ion, all cf which is safely invested in

report of the state mission* board.
Of coirse there was little regular busi
ness on Thursday.
On Friday the interest of the session
really began. One of the first things, in
the way of business, was to hear the State !
mission report, by Dr. J. II. DeVotie, 1
secretary of the State mission board, lie
stated that the funds of the Georgia Baptist
convention, during the past year, had
sustained eight foreign missionaries, nine
home aud Indian missionaries and twen-
tv-six preachers in the State, making for
ty-three at home and abroad. Besides
this,three of our State Baptist associations
sustain each a missionary in the Indian
Territory, making forty-six In all. The
amount of money raised aud disbursed
for this purpose by the convention was
$16,500.
The State board thinks this about one-
half of what Georgia Baptists should do in
reality. Among the Baptists in the State
of Georgia are twenty woman’s mission
ary societies working with zeal and devo
tion in the cause of missions.
The" Sunday-school evangelist has or
ganized three Sunday-school conventions
and fifty-eight Sunday-schools during the
year. He visited forty associations, 134
churches, eight associational meetings,
held thirty conventions and Sunday-school
institutes, preached 138 times and
delivered 270 addresses, traveling nearly
7,040 mites to do all this, and thus bring
ing into the Sunday-school 1,053 children.
The results of the State missionary labor
may be summed np as follows: 1,700
sermons preached, 080 addresses deliver
ed, 100 white peisons baptized, 90 colored
persons baptized, 003 prayer meetings
held, 2.SW lamllies visited, 4 white minis
ters ordained, 0 colored ministers ordain
ed, 0 white churches constituted, 5
colored churches constituted, 44 Sunday-
schools for white children organized, 19
Sunday-schools for colored children or
ganized, 2,128 children brought into Sun
day-school, 3 meeting bouses completed,
$245 worth of Bibles donated, to accom
plish which about 35,000 miles were
traveled.
The amount sent up at this session by
the association and churches to the State
mission board is about $1,500. So that
we may consider the totai amount raised
by the Georgia Baptists during the last
conventional year for home, foreign, State
minions and Sunday-school work, to be
in round numbers $1S,000. This was
done inanity through the efforts of* Dr. J.
11. DeVotie, the able secretary oftbo
Nate mission board. He lias bad in the
employ of the State board during the past
year over twenty missionaries in the
Stale, ail of whose salaries have been paid,
leaving some funds still in the treasury of
the State board.
The reader will perceive, by what lias
been written, that education, home, mis-
•1° s, foreign missions, State missions and
Sunday-school work are the chief objects
of tiie Georgia Baptist convention; and
the tew figures given wili enlighten them,
in some degree, in regard to the amount
of work achieved aud good doue. Yet,
More these reports are over, it will be
teen that, by far, all has not beeu told.
SUNDAY-SCHOOL CONVENTION.
On Wednesday night there was a large
Sunday-school convention held in the
Baptist house of worship, presided over by>
Kev. T. C. Boykin. The speakers were
Key. W. C. McCall, of Dalton; ltev. J. L.

laded lie.entire day; in fact was not fin
ishefl, and the matter goes over iiito
Saturday; but your readers will probably
know by telegraph how It was decided bv
the time this gets into print. u-. :w < • »
The convention is composed of all.the
mo.-t prominent men tof our denomina
tion in the. State, with a few exceptions.
Dr. (ft H. Tucker, Dr. E. W. Warren,
Dr. J. II. Campbell, Dr. A. T, Spalding,
are absent; Dr.Battle McIntosh, of Ala
bama, Dr. A. E.-Dickinson, of Virginia,
Ford, of Missouri, -DeVotie, Shaver,
Gwin, Lvvlon, Landrum, McCall, Bran
ham, Kilpatrick, Ityals, Wilkes aud others
of our first men are here, all earnestly
taking part In. ^lie proceedings. The
body is a large-one; but the hospitality
of the city is mere than equal to Its en
tertainment. All appear, to be iu a good
humor, and .the fine weather teu<L to
make them still more so. B.
It Was. Indeed.
