This association was in annual ’
session "with the Perry Baptist 1
church from Tuesday morning to !
I nursday noon last week. j
,, T ^ e next session will be with
the Fort Valley Baptist church in
October, 1902.
Delegates from all parts of the
association attended, and much
important denominational busi
ness was transacted. The finan-
®1® , 1 condition of the body was
shown to be excellent, a nice sum
being in the treasury after paying
the association debts.
As stated last week, Mr. E. Y.
Mallary was president, with Rev*.
A.\F. Cheeves clerk.
First in the order of business
was the committee reports, one of
the most interesting of those be
ing the temperence report of Rev.
A. S. Dix, the Perry pastor. In
this the membership of the church
was censured for “declaring itself
in favor of prohibition and then
covertly acting in favor of liquor
traffic.” In the discussion,Dr. J.
L. White of Macon was first, and
he declared local option had done
its work, and now there is imper
ative need for prohibition. As a
result of this report, and the con
sequent discussion, the following
resolution was adopted:
“Resolved, that the Rehoboth
Association urge the members of
our churches to unite with our
brethern of all Christian denomi
nations in an effort, by all honor
able means, by voting and pray
ing and giving our means, to se
cure state prohibition.”
It is conceded that the purpose
of the resolution is to advance
the cause of temperance, and not
advance the" political aspirations
of any candidate. In the discus
sion there was earnest argument
against a pledge to vote only for
avowed prohibitionists.
The report of the Missionary
committee, including the year’s
work of association missionary.
Rev. W. L. Cutts, was decidedly
pleasing, showing the work to be
in splendid condition. The asso
ciation declared itself well pleased
with the outlay and prospects.
Tuesday night the introductory
sermon was preach by Rev. M. H.
Massey, of Thomaston.
The report on the Baptist Or
phans’ Home at Hapeville, by
Rev. H. P. Jackson*, showed the
home to be in splendid condition.
A liberal collection for the home
was taken.
Of the ministers present, we
obtain the following names:
Revs. J. L. White, J. H. Harri
son and R. W. Eubanks of Macon,
T. J. Watts of Forsyth, L. S.'Bar
rett of Knoxville, W. L. Cutts
of Marshallville, A. L. Moncief
and W. H. Norton of Fort Valley,
M. H. Massey, H. P. and J. A,
Jackson and B. L. Ross.
Of the Ladies’ work we were
furnished the following:
“The Womans’ Missionary So
ciety of the association was also
in session, with Mrs. J. E. De-
Vaughn of Montezuma as presi
dent and Miss Willie Cooper of
Perry as clerk. This union is do
ing a fine work in the association.
The missionary zeal of the women
of the Baptist denomination gen
erally is very earnest and great,
and especially is it so in this as-
sociatoin.
At this session, when only about
twelve or fourteen churches were
represented, the financial reports
showed a contribution for mis
sions of $l,422.2o. Besides this
the Perry society has sent $18 to
the Baptist Orphans’ Home to
buy a bed and dedicate it to the
memory of the late Dr. B. F.
the lecture had to do with the
condition of the people, with spe
cial reference to religion and
Christianity. Much interest was
manifested by a large congrega
tion. Dr. Yohnanan intends re
turning to Persia as a missionary.
Following the - adjournment of
the association at 11 o'clock
Thursday morning, Dr. J. L.
White of Macon preached a strong
and impressive sermon.
The people of Perry were glad
to have the earnest and consecrat
ed people of this association here,
and hospitable entertainment was
most cordially given.
Card of Thanks.

Perry Baptist church desire to ex
tend to their brethren of other
