Your agent would recommend that the Association fix at this meeting the amount of bonds and subscriptions, such as have been taken and are now taking, which it will tender to the trustees of the Seminary, as a full compli ance with the amount of $300,000 originally proposed to be raised. Upon the bonds which have been given, there had been collected in cash to April 1st, $62,277 87. The total cost of the endowment collection to that date was $25,713 54, leaving a net amount of $36,564 33, which has gone to the credit of permanent endowment. Of this sum, $22,920 43 has been collected during the past twelve months. Your agent requests to say that very few persons have complied with the suggestion of the General Association, at its last meeting, to pay up their bonds in full The result may prove very embarrassing to the Seminary, as the per manent fund must be invested, and can not be used for current expenses, and the fund which was raised for this purpose in the other Southern States, was only intended to cover the period of time ending October 1st, 1878. As this fund was a donation from the other States over and above the amount prom ised by them for endowment, in order that the Seminary might be sustained while the Kentucky endowment was colleeting, it would seem but a proper responsive act , if Kentucky can do something in the same line for the coming two or three years, until the whole endowment shall have been completed. All of which is respectfully submitted. JAMES P. BoYCE, :1\-Iay 22, 1878. General Agent for Kentucky. Referred to a committee of sixteen as follows : B. Manly, L. Waggener, S.

II-LABORS OF MISSIONARIES. Rev. J. J. Edwards, Winston, is one of the oldest missionaries in the em ployment of the board. He has traveled more J_Ui~ Near the close of last year the board elected Elder vVm. M. Pratt as Su perintendent. After due eonsid~mtion he ex~ressed his .unwillingness to resign the pastoral office and devote hnn~elf exclusl\'ely to this work. He proposed however, to devote a portion of his time, until the meeting of the General As~ sociation, to the duties of this office, with the especial view of freeing the board from its debts. The Superintendent has corresponded with churches and brethren throughout the State, and made appeals through the "Recorder," to secure voluntary contributions to this end. There are enrolled about forty churches which have pledged aid without the visit of >ll1 agent. Some few of these have done well. I~ remains to be seen how much the rest will send up to the Association. The voluntary contributions were so few, we deemed it best to employ Elder S. F. Thompson for some six weeks, at a moderate salary to solicit contributions. He has done exceedingly well. Brother Cabaniss lwcl gone over the field so generally, that there were left but very few churches to visit; otherwise, we might have secured enough to wipe out the P-ntire debt. It should be our policy to induce churches which are interested in the missionary work, to attend to the matter of raising money for this object within themselves; to adopt some system; to reqLlP.st their pastor to preach upon the :mbject and give them all the information >lVailable to him; to appoint their own collectors and forward the several amounts to the treasurers of the different boards. In this way churches will form habit; of systematic benelicence, become increas ingly interested, and the expense of an agency saved. It will probably be some year; before our churches will be trained to attend to this matter as they should. Brother Gardner stated to the board in his letter of resignation, "of the 1,250 Baptist churches in Kentucky, 1,157 have only monthly preaching, and no system of benevolence can be effective in them. Of the remaining 97, thirty five have preaching every Sabbath; three have preaching three times a month; fifty-nine have preaching twiee a month, and thirty-eight have adopted a sys tem of their own and dispense with agents. Of the 97, fifty-nine need to be organized and systematized." This is not a very flattering aspect of the missionary spirit and enterprise of our churches. If it was left to voluntary action on the part of churches to sustain our missions, probably not more than one in twenty would make are spectable contribution. We are not prepared, at present, to dispense with a collecting agency. Not only churches must be visited, but individual members at their homes, and personal application made for assio;tance to carry on our missionary enterprises. The visits of a suitable agent are a great blessing to the churches. He should be thoroughly informed respecting the mission he represents, and give the people definite and full information. He should preach as often as opportunity presents and his strength will permit a pure gospel unto them, and move them to contribute from motives of love to God and for the salvation of men. 'fhe heavenly influence of such men as Elders John Peck and Alfred Bennet, who in former years visited this State in the interests of Home and Foreign :1\-Iissions, was long felt among the churches, and old brethren, even now," often speak of those godly men. 0, that their mantle of piety and zeal might rest upon us as ministers and agents. IV.-THE RESPECTIVE WORK OF THE DISTRICT AND GEN ERAL ASSOUIA TIONS. The District Associations should utilize the capabilities of their own mem bers as much as possible, in evangelical, Sunday-school and colporteur work within their respective bounds. If, instead of limiting their transactions to th~ stereotyped routine of business, inquiries were raised respecting the best means of advancing the cause of Christ in their midst, and pledges be given of volun_ tarv labor, in one way or another, on the part of the members of the bodyi gre";tt good would result from such action, as is manifest in the Elkhorn anc other associations that have taken this "new departure" during the last year. General Association of Baptists. 15 Neither churches nor individuals should look to Missionary Boards for help when they have sufficient ability within themselves. The pastors of the churches could and would do a yast amount of missionary work within the limits of their Associations, if their brethren would invite their attention to this or that neigh borhood, and would co-operate with them. Our young men and women of the Church would do much in the Sunday-school work if they were encouraged to do so. 'l'he fact is, brethren attend the Associations with expectation of meet ing their brethren, hearing good preaching, enjoying the hospitalities of the church where they ussem ble, forming new acquuintunces, and having a good time generally, but without any particular thoughts or projects in their minds about enlarging the borders of Zion in their midst. The occasion of these assemblies should be devoted to earnest discussion pertaining to the interests of Christ's Kingdom, more especially within their own bounds. The lack of interest in the State mission work of our General Association, arises from lack of interest in District Associations respecting supplying the destitution within their own borders, and the lack of interest here is referable to the lukewarm state of our churches, and still further back, to the indifference of pastors and leading mem bers of the churches. What Paul said in his time, "All seek their own and not the things of Jesus Christ," is applicable to a very large proportion of our members, and even some ministers of the gospel. There is scarcely zeal enough in our church to develop the energies of her own members, and there is a deplorn ble Jack of this in our District Associations. The object of the General Association is to help the weak, and to occupy vacant territory; to be the medium of united efl'ort on the part of :Missionary Baptists throughout the State; in endeavoring to establish churches at county seats and important centers of trade and influence, where there are no such ehurches; to promote eyangelistic and itinerant labor where it can be usefully employed, and also to counsel and aid in the Home and Foreign Missionary work; to promote our educational interests, and the circulation of our period ical and other religious literatu-·e. The annual meetings should be attended by brethren and sisters representiug churches and associations from every part of the State, and these important occasions should be devoted to making arrange ments for doing much and efl"eeti "e work in our :Master's vineyard during the year. Your :Missionary Board is but your agent to carry out, during the year, your behests. 'l'o afford the board the means of prosecuting State missions successfully, she should be advised of important and destitute fields needing laborers; the most suitable persons to occupy such places; and the churches throughout the State should contribute liberally to her treasury, for the support of those who may be appointed. The board will practice the strictest economy in the collection and appropriation of the funds contributed. V -.SUNDAY-SCHOOL DEP ART:NIENT . . On account of the indebtedness of the board at the beginning of the year, our obligations to the men in our employ and the smallness of contributions, and also not knowing whom to select as Sunday-school missionaries, the board has not, until recently, done anything in this department. Three young mmi. of the Theological Seminary have been appointed us Sunday-school missiona ries and colporteurs, during the four months of their vacation, and we purpose to appoint a fourth one. Bro. J. A. Campbell, a graduate of Georgetown College, and who is taking a theological conrse, has been appointed for Union county, and his base of ope rations will be at the Shotwell mines, near Caseyville. Z. W. Wilborn has gone to Albany, and will work in Clinton and Wayne counties. R. E. Johns, who has finished his theological course, will go to Pulaski county. We think it will be highly advantageous to these young brethren, as well as promotive of Sunday-school interests, to employ theological students, during their vacation, in this work. 16 Forty-Pirst Anniversary of the YI.-FOREIGN AND HOME MISSIONS. The General As~ociation is auxiliary to the Southern Baptist ConYention, and feel,; an abiding interest in the prosperity of her missions. The agent of the Foreign Mission Board, Elder R. L. Thurman, has pros C!'utcd hifi agency very succesofully during the year, considering the cry of "hard times" that is heard in all directions, and reports over $5,000 as col lected by him in Kentueky for the Foreign Mission Board. Elder V. E. Kirtley is the >tgent of the Home Mission Board. His collec tions mnount to over $2,600. This board, besides appointing a number of mis.-ionarics in the State!', has under her direction one Indian mi:<:;ion. This has been very prosperous. The churche~ should contribute stated!~· to help .-u;-ta.in :Foreign and Home Missiom. YII.-INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING. Georgetown and Bethel College, and our Yarious seminaries of learniug, both male and female, hon·e been very wPll attended during the year. The iustruction in them all ha:; been incren: SECOND DAY. THURSDAY, May 23, 9 A. M. 20. Prayer by J. M. Weaver. 21. Minutes of yesterday were read and approved. 22. J. Pike Powers rose to a question of privilege and stated that when the subject of the next meeting was under consideration yesterday he was sick, and therefore unable to be presentto pre sent the invitation from the church in Mt. Sterling. 23. J. M. Weaver read the report of the Committee on Home Missions: REPORT ON HO:Ml An institution for the care of helpless orphan children is one of the grand est and most praiseworthy a people can establish and maintain; and now tha; the work of endowing the Seminary is about through with, we believe the be nevolence of our brethren and friends should be appealed to for the endowment of this Home. We can not enter into a discussion of the propriety, here and in this re port, of the necessity of the endowment of this institution, with a view of giving a more extended education to the children, and providing for them until they >tre properly indoctrinated in our principles, but merely state the hope that the work will be at once put on foot in some proper way. The Home has re ceived, since the last Association, thirty-one children; sent out thirty-lh·e; had returned five; one death; twelve, from the age of 12 to 15 years, have joined the church, and others are intere,;ted. There are eighteen children in the nursery, from one and a half to five years of age. There are sixteen boys, making in all under seven years of ao-e forty-six, total number at the Home. "' ' The students of the Seminary have generally conducted religions services with the children. Notwithstanding the tightne:;s of the times, the Home has been very fairly supported during the past year, and with the usual and desired increase of effort, the support the year to come will be abundant, and happinc" and prosperity will attend it. Respectfully submitted, GREEN CLAy S)!!TH, THOMAS HODMAN, THOMAS HALL, Committee. Remarks were made by Green Clay Smith, Thomas Rodman, John Stout and W. P. Harvey and the report was adopted. About $200 were raised for the Home before the adoption of the report. 30. The report of the Committee on State Missions was made special order for 10 A. M • .Friday. 31. B. Manly, jr., read the report of the committee to whom was referred the report of J.P. Boyce, agent for the endowment of the Southern BaptisWfieological Seminary : CO)L\IITTEE ON THEOLOGICAL SE~IINARY. The committee to whom was referred the report of Dr. Boyce, as the Gen eral Agt>nt for securing the Kentucky portion of the endowment of the Theo logical Seminary, beg leave, respectfully, to recommend the adoption of the following resolutions: . l. Resolved, That we appreciate the confidence in Kentucky Bapt1st~, shown by the Trustees of the Seminary in removing the institution to tins State, prior to the actual completion of the Kentucky subscription to the en dowment; that we gladly welcome its faculty and students among us, and rejoice that its first session in Kentucky has been attended by one-third more students than at anv time before. 2 Resolved, That the General Association of Kentucky Baptists re>tpp_oint Dr. J. P. Boyce as its General Agent in this matter, and direct him to contmne the effort to raise the additional sum of $15,500, for the endowment of th~ Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, so as to complete the sum of ~300,0"0 from Kentucky; and that when this sum of $300,000 has been securecl1n ca~h, in real estate, and in such bonds and subscriptions as haYe been taken and a~~ now being taken, this be tendered to the Trustees of the Seminary as a sn , stantial compliance with the proposal of the General Association of l{entuck) Baptists. .General Association of Baptists. 21 3. Resolved, That as the principal of thc.cndowment can not be encroached upon, we recommend that Kentucky Baptists bear their share of the current expenses of the Seminary, while the eft'ort is made to secure the subscription of the whole endowment. Hespectfully submitted on behalf of the committee. B. MANLY, JR., Chairman. Which was adopted. 32. On motion W. M. Pratt was allowed to incorporate in his report the amount of money received by him for the State Board ·up to June 1. 33. Adjourned. Prayer by T. J. Stevenson. EVENING SESSION. 34. Prayer by W. B. Smith. 35. J. L. Burrows made a verbal report from the Committee on Kentucky Baptist History, stating that Dr. J. H. Spencer was progressing in the work of preparing his history. 36. L. B. Woolfolk read the report of the Committee on For eign Missions: REPORT ON FOREIGN MISSIONS. Your Committee on Foreign :Missions would make the following report: "Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," was the commission given by our Saviour to his di~ciples. The lands in which Chris tianity now prevails were brought beneath the sway of the ChriRtian religion by ministers of Christ who, carrying out the commission, bore t.he. gospel to heathen lands. We owe to the missionary spirit our earthly civili;;mtion and our hopes of heaven; and the commission calls upon us in acknowledgement of the bless ings conferred upon us to send the gospel to other lands lying in heathen clark ness. The Foreign Mission Board of the Southe~n Baptist Convention has established mission stntions in Africa, in China ancl in Italv. In Africa are Brethren David and Colley, with several mttive assistants. It1 China the Board has as Missionaries T. P. Crawford, Mrs. :NL F. Cmwforcl, Mrs. S. ,J. Holmes, Miss L. :Moon, J\L T. Yates, Mrs. Yates, R. H. Graves, Mrs. Graves, Miss Lula Whilden and eighteen nntive assistants. In Italy the Rome Mission has spread abroad its influence and has taken possession of Naph~s, Venice, Milan, Modena and other important points. In this field Brother Taylor is l>tboring, assisted by nine native a"istants. Three native ministers have been raised up during the year, 32 lmptisms have occurred and over 50 hopeful inquirers arc reported. In Honw a chapel has recently been purchased at a cost of $25,800, which is favorably located upon one of the great thoroughfares of the city. The hand of Providence in opening up China and Italy to missionary eft'ort points us to those lands especially as fields upon which to expend endeavor. The Foreign :;\fission Board is represented by Bro. Thurman, well known to all of us as its agent in our State. The Board also desires that ladies' missionarv soeieties mav be organized in our churches for the purpose of raising fm1ds for its be;wfit. We should. also state that $6,000 are needed for the mission chapel at Rome, toward which amount the Board asks that $1,000 be raised in Kentucky; and a number of our brethren agreed at Nashville to make an eft'ort to raise that sum in the State. In all these channels of benevolence we recommehd the Foreign :Mission Board to the hearty co-opemtion of the Baptists of our State. Respectfully submitted, L. B.

Dudley read the report of the Committee on Col- leges and Schools : REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON COLLEGE~ AND SCHOOLS. Perhaps there never was a time with us when there was a more pressiwr de mand for education than.therc is at this present time. We have made uclva~ces, but there are other most 1mporta11t advances to be made. We need an educated ministry; we need an educated membership as well. If we could lift the masses of our people to a higher plane of intellectual cultivation, we would alw lift them to a higher plane of usefulness and power in the kingdom of our Hedeemer. That "knowledge is power," was never more palpable than it is to-clay. vVhether sanctified or unsanctitied, still, "knowledge is power." If, therefore, we would rise up to the met1sure of onr responsibility and wield the utmost of our influence for good upon the world, we must aim at the highest P.ducation of the greatest number of our people. We boast, and sometimes in an unseemly manner, of the magnitude of our numbers. That God has given us power with the masses is, on one hand, pleasant to think of, and on the other, shame. For the question arises, what are we doing with these masses, and wlmt for them? If they were a well-drilled, earnest, developed army for Christ, then the world could hardly withstand them. But they are not, and our aim :;hould be to make them such as fan1s practicable. There are two things which should be especially aimed at: First, to awake an enthusiasm among the people upon the subject of education, which will lead the youth to particularly de;;ire the benefits of education. Second, to enlarge as soon as practicable our educational fncilities. Institutions of learning we have, equal to any others in the State, but their power might be greatly increased by an increase of their endowments and general appliances. We learn the following facts concerning our colleges: GEORGETOWN COLLEGK Georgetown College is sustaining itself under all the financial pre"ure of the times. The number of students was somewhat diminished this vear frum what it would otherwise lmve been by reason of the prevalence of sc~~rlet fever in the town; bnt notwithstanding this scomge, reached the number of 88. The efl'ort to increa:;c the accommodations for boarding students at co: The roll-books that have been returned from the churches, with the names of the contributors to the Centennial fund, in detail, are still in possession of the committee. and thev ask direction from the General Association as to what disposition shall be made of them to secure their preservation . •T.
