Report read by Bro. E. 1<'. Music and adopted.

Report oj' Conunittee on Foreign Missions.

We have abundant cause for profound gratitude to God for His blessing the past year. We praise Him for abounding grace, and shonld earnestly pray for a deeper sense of obligation, increased by His larger blessings of success.

The past year has been the most succe"sful in uur history. There were 1,429 baptisms as compared With 1,009 the year before, an increase of 4:)0. The sum of $173,439.49 was .... ontributed. The contribution the year before was $156,- Ob3.3:), an increase the past yearof $17,3.5616. Kentucky ce>ntributed $:)1,971.96, as compared with $15,560.1b the year before, making an increase of $6,412.78.

Bequests amountlng to $5,557.92 are included in this amount. Contrihutions from living contributol''S are $16,414.04. The increase from living contributors was $8:;3.86.

Twenty new missionarIes were sent out during the year. There was no death among the missionaries, but Dr. H. A. Tupper, Correspondtng Secretary for more than twenty-one years, passed to hiS reward.

In contr;butions Kentuc;ky r.Jse from fO\,1rth to second place in the list of States, Virginia alone leading in a contribution of $:~5"n2.01. The Board asks for $25.000 this year from our State. This will mean an iucrease of $9.585.96 over the contributIOns of the living- contributors of last year. Will we do this? We shall have to Illcrease our contributions more than fifty per cent.

This will require most earnest p-"ayer, some self-denial, much faithful, p'1tient, earnest work; courageous, plain, lovmg prcaching and teaching, and liberal (,xample on the part of the pastors and leaders of the churches, and a large increase of fait~1 in God.

Elkhorn AssociatioLJ contributed last yea.r for Foreign Missions $1,b22 39, as com pared wi th $2, :!(i5.30 the previous year, making an actual decrease of

$442.91.

We recommena that Elkhorn Association endeavor to raise her part of Kentucl{y's increase and that earnest prayer be made to God III behalf of this work; that the hearts of our peuple be enlarged and thOl'oughly enlisted in the great work of world-wide evangelization.

We recommend the Foreign MissiO,n Journalalso, published in Richmond, Va., as a valuable helper in the work •. It costs 35 cents sing-l.v or 25 cents in

clubs of ten or ,more. Respectfully submitted,

WAf. D. NOWLIN.

is thll basis of successful work along all missionary lines. 1'0 shut uur eyes to its claims upon us, or to fail to recognizll thll oblig-atH>ns that are upon us as individuals and churches, is a sin against Him who loved and redeemed us oy His precIOus blood. Every intllUigllnt Baptist in this favored section of our ::.tate 0ught to daily pray this praye.·; Lord. what can I do to advance tllis great ,~ork which Thou hast committed to our hands? MallY of our peo- ple have and are praying this prayer, and thll Lord in His own way is mdicatlDg"

lheir work. The reports from Rllv. J. G. Bow, the Secretary of State :Eoard, and others who are well acquainted with the various fields and progressot t}\tJ wurk, are encouraging. Tile following appears in the last report of our State Roanl:

"'l'here is much to encourage us in the increased and increasing inte'rest in State Missions. The contributions for the year surpassed those of la~t year

$5,365.42. Many churches are now on the list of contribu tors which never gave before. 'rhe territory of operations is Widening, and the demands for in-

crea~ed contribntions are upon us. More men are employed, and greatereffici- ency is manifested by our missionaries, Doors of u'efulness are continually opening to us, and opportunities are multiplying. 'rhe churches and people arll becommg better acquain ted with the nature and needs of our work, preju- dices are breaking down, and thll obstacles to succeiiS are diminishing. When our pe,ople lllarn that State Misbions are of prime importance, the very base of

~uppiies, the source from which our real strength must come to foster and bustain Home and Foreign MlssioD!', then we may expect to see proj!'ress on all lines of the great mission work our Master has committed to ^U8. In the Mas- ter's name we plead for greater interest in, and greater fidelity to, thiS import- an t feature of our work."

In the minutes of Elkhorn Associatwn 1901 Bro. E. F. Wright reported that Elkhorn ASSOCIation gave to State Missions the previous year $837.50, one- half of which was used in this Association, and recommended that we give for this year $1,000,00 in addition to the funds used in this Association. The re- port of the Treasurer shows that the churches of Elkhorn Association have given for State Missions during the I ast year only $044.37. Brethren, tbe Lord commands and the work demands that we go forward and not backward.

Shall we heed the call and acquit ourselves as good soldiers of Jesus Christ?'

Report on Home Missions read by Bro. S. A. 0 wen and adopted.

Home Missions.

It is gratifying to know that the Home Board, of Atlanta, Georgia, wbleb has this work in charge, is, under the directIOn of ItS new and efticien t Secre-

\ary, F. C. McConnell, in a very orosperous condition. The Boarel reporteli

~or la,st convention Yllar nearly $99.000 raised for the work, an IDcrease of more

\han $12,000 over the previous year. Several churches in our own State are to be credited in part for this larj!'e lDcrease, the gifts of the entire State to the lIoard amounting to nearly $9,000. This material prosperIty of th" 1I0ard is;

due largely to the hearty support of denominational papers and to an increased circulation of tracts. givinlllllformation on Tarious departments of the work in charge of tbe 1I0ard.

The money given last year was richly blessed of the Lord. It employpd wholly or in part about 700 milssionarles, who reported for the year more than 8,000 additions by baptism, more than 9,000 addItions by letter, and orgaDlzed 900 churcheii and SnndaJ-Schoo!s. Every department of the work supported by the 1I0ard seems to emphasize the wisdom of increasinj!' our j!'ifts. In faet the convention sustained a resolution at Ashville to try to raise onc-fourtftJ more than was raised last year.

With confidence in our Board, and with loyalty to our Master, let us pray- erfully and genero\ls)y eOJltiDlBe \0 supporllllhe work.

To the Elkhorn Association, when convened with the David's Fork Baptist Church. on Au~ust 12th, 1902.

Your Executive Board met at FIrst Baptist Church, Lexington, Ky., on the second Mouday in September, 11101. and organized by the election of Bro. J. W.

Appleton Chairman aud Malcolm Thompson Secretary and 'l'reasurer. Your Buard has met regularly on every !>econd Monday in each month with one ex- ception. aud had good attendance. The brethren are all heartIly engaged in the work. and all matters coming before the Board more fully discussed than before. We thank God and" rejoice in the good reports sentin by the brethren.

Your Board has during' the Association year aided the following churches;

Corinth, in Grant county; ~adieville, ~cott county; Bryan Station, Fayette county. and Mt. Freedom, Jessamine county. Bro. G. W. Argabrite, at request of th .. Board, held meetings WIth Corinth and Sadieville churches, and God {rreatly blessed his work in the salvation of many precious souls. The work at Sadieville has been specially blessed, and they are now preparing to build a house to be dedicated to the Lord. Your Hoard could use more means to a g'reat advantage for our Master's cause in our field and hODe the churches may increase their contributions. and that those churches who have not made their con tributi.lns throujlh the Board may do so.

Report on Sunday-Schools.

Report read by BrOo. I. B. Timberlake; adOopted; discussed by Bros. Frost;

Timberlake, T. Warn Beagle, Musselman and Felix.

There ;ue in the Soutbern Baptist Convention 19,653 churches, With a membership of 1,683,039, and 10.404 Sunday-Schools, wlth 712,012 pupils.

Kentucky has 1.671 Baptist Churches, with a.member-hin of 190,994, and in- ."hese churches there are only 978 :sunday-Schools, witt! 53.655 pupils.

There are 500,000 children in Kentucky between the ages of 6 aud 16 who do not attend any Sunday-School, ILnd in all the Protestant churches in the State only 100,000 can be found iu the Suuday-Schools. In other words, for every child in the Sunday-School there are five children out of it.

During the past year there were 9,321 baptisms in Kentucky, aud 2,226 of

~hese were from the Sunday-::;chools. Last year in the Elkhorn Association- there were 222 baptisms and 64 we.re from the Sunday-Schools.

Statistics show that the Sunday-Schools in ('onnection with the State :Board are doing a great work, and have made large advances over that of the past year. New schools have been organizpd and thousands of Bibles and tracts have been sold and g-i ven away.

A Sunday-School missionary has been appointed for mountain work, and we are grateful to note the progress of Colportage work in Kentucky. Twen ty- CIne men have been sent out this year.

The Geueral Board of the Southern Baptist Convention has furnished free literature for one quarter for all Mission Schools org-anized during the past year, and g-ave $360.00 In books for distribution.

The SundaJl-School J!oard has also fnrnished the means for an annual lec- ture course in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary at Louisville dls-

t.mctlv on ~undav-School work. .

We point with special pride and call attention to the work of the Sunday-

~ehoOoI Board located at NashvilLe. Tennessee, an~ the l'emarkab1e s1I1Icees;o

whieh it has achieved. This Board is doing a noble work iu the pUblieatiou aud dbtrilmtion of the best denominationalli terature for llaotists lD the

~outh, and its ::iunday-Sclwol publIcations .!annot be surpassed. - We do most

heal·tily commend this literat,ure to our churches.

Your committee would further say, that it is not only the duty, but the exalted privilege of every member of our churches to manifest a deep interest i II the work of the Sunday-School. Children are apt to be what their parents are and dll what their parellts do. 'I'eachers in the Sunday-School cau do but littl" wi th children who see so much indifference on the part of their paren ls in reference to this great work.

We would therefore urge parents, not only to send, but bring their chil- uren to church and Sunday-School. And let parents see to it that the lessons al'e also taught the clllldren in the home.

We would also recommend that the younger children be taught some good

Catechism. Very respectfully submitted,

Their edification in scriptu!"e knowledge through intt'lligent and systematic Bible study. "that the man of

(~od may be perf"ct, thoroughl,v furnished unto. all gODd work." 5. Their in- structIOn in Baptist doctrine and histDry; that is, the inculcation Df the pre- ciDus principles and practices that have given UIS power in the world as a denominatIOn, and the impartaLlOn of It he knowledge of the thrilling record of the glorious achievements "f our "Fathers in the faith," that the Baptists of the eoming gene"atlOn may be wise and aLle defe::.df'rs of the faith once deliv-

The movement has ma~'e great prog'ress in the State durilll!' the year.

More Unions have been organized than during all the five years previous.

In conclusiDn we call special attention to the Young People's Quarterly, published by thf' Sunday-School Hoal'd at. Nashville. The subjects are admir- ably selected and covel' a wiele range. They are both practIcal and elDctrinal.

One If'sson each month isdevoted to some pha"e Df missions. It also furnishes valuable suggestions in the study Df these subjf'cts.

Report on Orphan'8 Hom,e.

Report read b,v Bro. E. F. Wri!:rht; adopted and discussed by Bra;;;. Wright, Jj'rost and Nunnelly. Dr. B. D. Gray led in special prayer for t.he Lord's bless- ing on the Home. Call for cDllection, and $129,29 collected. All the churches responded in promises to. take up collectIons.

Tlwre is no work fostered by the Baptists of Kentuckv which appeals to us all more strongly than Dur own well conducted Orphans' Homf'. There ilS no

call to WhICh we more heartily respond, and there is no Vlsi t or more sincerel,V welcomed to this body than Miss Mary Hollinsworth Long may she be spared to us and to this work.

Surely there is no int.erest commi tted to us for which we may more confi- dently appeal to the brotherhood and upon which we may pray wIth more ex- pectant faith, the Father's blessing.

He who had not where to lay his head, who took little children in his arms and blessed them, and who I!ave his own mother into the care of his friend, will accept as sp.rvice rendered to himself that which we do for these homeless children of our brethren.

The Home does not ask for luxuries, but bare necessities. Who among us Will deny bread and shelter and teaching- to these dependent ones? There have been received into the Home this year 17, and 23 have been placed out.

The!'e are now 76 in the Home, of whom 39 are g-irls and 37 boys. Are there not childless home~ among- us awaitinl! some of these children?

We reqnest and urg-e all our churches to liberally cont.ribute to tllli" work, and that pledg-es be asked from the churches and individuals today: and that we here and now make a voluntary cash offering. E. F. WRIGHT.

Schools and Colleges.

Report of Commit.tee on Schools and Colleges read by Dr. B. Gray and aaopted; discussed by Bros. Gray, Hibbs and Thompson.

The BaptIsts of Kentucky need not mor~, but better schools. Equipment, in the buildings and apparatus is one of our necessities Libraries and labra- torles are henceforth indispensable. Teachers In our first.classcolleg-es and hig-h schools even are not able to buy the books of reference needed in their departments. They must be supplied by thc instituiioms themselves a.nd this neces,sity will Increase constantiy. The very best scholarship, broad, aeC\l-

rate, thorough, is called fo.r In aU our schools. Only teachers of solld learning, thorough culture and special trainIng can meet the educational demands of our times. Unless one can speak with authority, he cannot teach wIth power.

And me>re important eYen than great scholarshIp and teaching ability is char- acter. Our chiUren are too precious to have the moulding of their character en trnsted to men who are gifted (lnly in the technicallearmng of the schools, but are deficient in personal character. And piety is the basis of true excel- lence of character. We see at once the necessity for Christian education or education under ChristIan ausplCes, and for us of Baptist education.

Your committee would refer our people to the minutes of the General As- 100ciation lor information concerning the varions schools under Baptist control in Kentucky, and beg leave to call special attention to Georgetown College, the only Baptist school WIthin the bounds of our Associational territory.

While the college belongs to the Baptists of the :State, it is especially the prIde of the Elkhorn Assoeiation. Its chief support in the past has come from our Association, and the inspiration and leadershIp in the great forward move- ment now proposed for the college must ('orne trom the same source.

The work of the college is ^In a mOst g'ratifying conditIOn. The discipline is mild, but firm, and the order has been exceptionally good during the past session. The largest class in the histor.v of the institution was graduated in June. At the annual meeting of the Board of Trustees the Science Depart- ment was greatly strengthened by the election of two professors, Dr. Garnett Ryland and Prof. J. A. Kessler, the former to the Chai." of Chemistry and Physics. the latter to the Chair of Biology, both of whom are eminent ~pecial"

ists in tileIr lines of study.

The Normal Dflpartment WIll be in the hands of Prof. A. L. Rhoton, who brought that work to a high condition of efficiency thrpe :vear~ ago, since which time he has ^pursu~d his stadies at ColUl;nbian and Chicago UniversIties.

The college is entitled to the patronage of our Baptist people. It is domg admirable w,)rk. We need, howevpr, enlargement of our faCIlities, especially in the SCIence Departmcilt. And we must have additional teaching force in the near future.

The Trustees have decided to undertake the raislDg of $200,000 for endow- ment in the immediate future. The need for this IS imperious. We. must have it. Even with this splenrlid sum ou- endowment would be $12.00() less t.han that of one of our immedia.te comnetitors. Your committee, therefore, recom- mend that the Baptists of the Elkhorn Association give thpir heartiest support to this great movement for the better equipment and endowment of George- town CollE'ge. RE'spectful)y submitted. B. D. GRAY, ChaIrman.

Report on Te7nperance.

Report on Temperance r,eltd by Bro. Argabrite; adopted. Discussed by Bro. Argabrite and Dr. Young., Secretary of the InterdenomInational Tem-

perance Board. . . .

Your commi ttee on 'Temperance beg to submit, the follOWIng' repot·t:

When one sees, a~ he must if his eyes are half opened, that wickedness is lifting a high head these days, t.hat the Immorality of the world is certainly of the most desperate type; that drunken ncss is on the increase, the qUt'stioll of the attitude of the chIld of God towards these things should not be dIffi- cult to settle.

There is a tl'aching- abroad that the highest form of religion is to with- draw from the world; to have nothing to do with it-not even to vote; that seeing our citizenship is in heaven we have no business wit.h things on earth.

This sounds beautiful, and looks spiritual; but to put it bluntly. it is ti,e veri(lst humbug ever foisted upon people who are desIrou~ of obeying the Lord and SavIOur Jesus Christ.

One of thp outstanding teaching's of the Bible, written over every page, is the call for ag'Q'ressive goodness; it is our business to attack evil, to rout it, to drive it from the face of the earth. When John came he attaclu'd sin, and struck it with the whip .of a scorrion. He did not hesitate to sav to the men of hl~ tima that they were a gpnpratIOn of vipers.

'What If Christ had not attacked evil? He came to a world submerged in a sea of deg-rarlation; into this sea of sin and misery He plunl!ed and made pos- sible its ~alvation. If any man would be like his Lord and Mastel', he must stay;n the world, not wit.hdraw from it. He must strike at ^SIn, 11<> must move

upon It wIth his voice, his personal influence, and-his vote. It is not enoU\rh tu be neg-atlvely g-ood; we are to be agg-re~slvely rig-hleous, until the world comt'S to helieve that the church is not a place for the we ... k and crippled, but that it is God's militarv establishment on earth as well.

Therefore be it Resolved, I!'irst-Tllat we .. ndor~e and commend the work of the State Local Option Committee. and pledge ourselves to enter with re- newed eneq~'y into the work of this committee, giving financial aid to the same.

~econd-That we as temperance voters of the Elkorn AssociatlOn will see to it that no man IS nominated by any party who is not definitel.V committed to the County Local Option Bill, and will vote ag-ainst all men who refuse thus to commit themselves, reg-arctless of part.\' and narty nominations.

ThirJ-That as pastors of the churt~hes of this AssociatIOn. we will Ilt SOme appropriate time during the corning- Associational year preach a sermon on t!'mperance. Respectfully submitted and signed by G. W. ARGABRITE,

J. J. RUCKER.

Resolution by Bro. Rucker in regard to number of days the Association shall be held next.year adopted.

Resolz{;tion.

Resolvf,d, That when thb Association convenes one year hence. we !=;hall expect the prorrram of business to be so arranged as to cover at ^lea~t thr ... e days and this to be Interspersed with more preaching and devotional exercises.

Resolution by Bro. Rucker in regard to Sadieville church read and adopted.

Resolution.

Now that onr young church at Sadieville, Scott county, is entering upon the effort to erect a house of worship and will need financial assistance, we commend to the churches of Elkhorn Association this enterprise as eminently worthy of theIr consideration and support.

The budy unanimously passed a vote of thanks to the brethren and friends of David's Fork church for the royal manner ^lU which they entertained them.

Resolution.

We cordially thank this church and community for their hi~hly enjuyable entertamment given us during this session.

Report of committee on Mmistcr's Aid rcad by Bro. W. H. Felix and adopted. Discussed by Bro. Felix.

Report. on .Minister's .llid Society.

The ~[jnister's Aid Society is one of our most important enterprises. The men who wear out their lives in the service of God b the ministry and are left dependent in their declining years should not go neglected. In order to meet the needs of this enterprise abundant rooms shou~d be built and fur- nished comfortably. which would entaIl considerable expense additIOnal to the means needed annually as beneficiary gifts to the veterans of the Cross.

There have been aided 2l.' ministers during the past year. Four beneficiarIes have died. We recommend annnal offerings to the work. The expenditures the past year amounted to $2S4.20. The endowment fund is $32.206.19.

In behalf of Committee, W. H. FEI.lX.

ReSOlution passed anthorizing the Clerk to have the usual number of Min- utes printed and distributed and that he be allowed the usual compensation for his services.

ville, Silas, and South Elkhorn is very encouraging. The meetmg this year was one of the most enthusiastic meetings we have had for several years. Our prayer is that the im;erest and work may increase year by year. During the afternoon of the second day Mrs. Yohanan, of Persia, gave a very interest- ing t>tlk on the great need of the Gospel in her native country. It is with re- gret that we record the resignation of our beloved Vice-PresIdent, Miss· Mag- gie J. LeCompte, whose great aim has been to increase the interest and co- operation of the societies. After ten years of consecrated work and foresIght in devising and carrying out great plans, we reluctantly yielded to her wIshes' At the same time we are glad to have such an able and competent leader as Mrs. G. W. Argabrite to take her place as District Vice-Pres.ideut of the Woman's Work of the Elkhorn ASSoCIation.
