Your Executive Board, through her Committee, suhmit. the follow ing Report. The Board elected at your last session met on second Monday in Sep temher 189.5 and organized by electing J. W. Appleton, Sr., Chairman, and F. P. Jenkins, Secretary and Treasurer. Bro. A. C. Quisenberry, one of the members of the Board, resigned, offering as good reasons, his age and consequent inability to be present at the meetings during the winter months. Bro. Horace Coleman was elected in his stead. vVe r<>gret to report a great falling off in contributions to State Mis sions. The apportioned amount to be raised by our 27 churches for State Missions was one thous"nd dollars; of this amount only ':;.~i:i 1.(;0 was paid into the hands of our Treasurer during the associational year, from August 1st, 189.5, to August 1st, 1896. A falling off of nearly one half, and had it not been for a small balance carried over from last year your Board would have been compelled to borrow funds or allow our Missionaries call to go unheeded. Brethren, can we not do better for another year? We know the difficulties of getting money, but ha\"e we been willing during the year now closing, to divide our luxuries and pleasures, our salaries and our individual wants in half? Have we done it. Can chris tians hope to be greatly blessed of God while they fail to giw back to Him of their substance? Let us think of these things Brethren, and be prepared to give an account in judgment. Missionaries have been maintained at four stations during the year. Bro. J. H. Dew, at Clover Bottom. Bro. B. F. Taylor, at Mt. Freedom. Bro. T. J. Marksberry, at Corinth. Bro. B. F. Hnngerford, at Clear Creek. . These Breth:en are doing their duty, as we believe their work will prove. Respectfully suhmitted, F. P. JENKINS l Committee. J. R.

ORPHANS HOME. The report on Orphans Home was read by the Chair· man, Dr. J. H. Boyet, and was discussed by Drs. J. W. Warder and T. T. Eaton, and adopted. The Louisville Baptist Orphans Home is an institution which appeal" to the noblest sentiments of christian hearts, and one whuse appeals should meet with a ready and substantial response, Its provisions of shelter, food, rainment and favorable influences for the development of character in the lives of the homeless and fatherless children of our State is an expression of that pure religion which is undefiled by that love of the world in tho~e, who seeing distress, shut up the bowels of compassion. It affords an opportunity, in the simplest way, for all who will, to lend of their substance to the Lord. alJd have it returned to them in the hnndred· fold measnre. From information obtainable we note the following: In 27 years 1005 children have been resecued; 700 from the country and 305 from the city. Thirty·five have been received during the past year, and one hun dred and eight remain in the Home. with 52 in the nurseries, while 24 have been adopted and 19 apprenticecl. An effort was made to ascertain the value of property belonging to the Home, and the amonnt of interest bearing funds otherwise invested. Also the amount required the past year for running expenses; that we might be able to approximate the amount required in direct contributions from the churches. But in this effort vour committee was not successful. It is the opinion of your committee that in the development and direction of an intelligent and systematic benevolence, as well as for the best interests of the Home its self, a complete statement of values, Elkhorn Bapti8t A88ociation. II revenues and expenditures, covering the annual expenses of the Home, should be furnished by the managers each year, to be embodied, in our associational reports. The Orphans Friend is a paper which is published in Louisville, for the benefit of the Home, which we most heartily commend to our people_ JOHN H. BOYET, T. H. COLEMAN, OTIS HUGHSON. A collection of $3S.j8 was taken for the Home, and turned over to Miss Marv Hollillgswurth, SuperimeLdeut.
STA TE MISSIONS. Report on State Missiolls was reaJ by F. P. J ellkins, Chairman, and waS discHssed by J. W. Warder, Otis Hughson and J. c. Freelllan, and adopted. Fol owing is the report: From the reports of the Executive Board of the General Association, and the Secretary of our Mission Boards, who have to do with the final application of our contributions to Missions, we gather much of instrnc tive and helpful information; and believing that to fully appreciate the import of our efforts along this line we should sec it in its aggregation, we therefore take a period of twelve years, giving to State and District Missions, and Colportage, hinting only at results; trusting, however, our report may stimnlate our Brethren to a 1110re comprehensive cognition of the wotk. To this end then, we invite your thought to the following figures taken from the report of the Executive Board of our General Association, for a period af twelve years, from May 1st, 18.')-1, to ;,Iay 1st, IS96. In these twelve years the Baptists of Kentucky contributed for Missions $445,725.20, antI 826\l,819.()0 for Chnrch buildings. Of the 8445,7:25.20 contributed for Missions, ~210,81\J.\J8 \\'ere given for Kentucky missions, and of this last sum only :31:!, 171.7.~ were given distinctly for State Mission work, while for State Sunday-school and Colportage, Sl;{8,830.-I3 wer« given. As a result of this dedication of money ancllabor God has given us from the fielr\s of State a11(1 District Mission and Colportage 17,8::$0, by Baptism, a11(1 1-1, ,Ul by Letter and Relation, a total of 32':,31 souls. On the basis "that likewise jov shall be in Heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need n0 repentance," our ingatherings ill Kentucky, resulting from State and District Mission work, have caused 1Jtiltzolls of Heavenly halleluiahs in the past twelve years. \Vhile for all Kentucky missions, we have given in the past twelve years only ,;:{10,S78. \l8, we have given for Foreign Missions alone 8143,085.16, or el<:oven-sixteenths as much as for all of our Kentucky missions, or one third as much as for all mis sions. \Ve find nothing of disparagement in these figures, but should we not feel impelled to change the ratio; not by giving less to Foreign, but more to State Missions. We have heard and are hearing to-day, the Macedonian ~al1. Let us remember that the Heathen of the Bible is no more the Nomad of the African jungle than the unsaved man or woman of our own boasted Ken· tucky. The blessed Christ asked "who is thy neighbor." Are we not 12 ~JI£inute8 Of the agreed that our neighbor is he to whom we may do good? The greates good we can do in this world, Brethren, is to give Christ to perishing souls. During the past year, from May 1st, 1895, to May 1st, 1896,835.37\;1.91 were contributed for missions. Of this sum $4,806.12 were designated as State Missions. This is less than the previous year by 8318.08. Not a bad showing, considering the fact that we are passing through a period of unusual monetary and commercial disturbance. Here are some of the good results of the year's work: The 45 State Missionaries in the field preached 8,448 sermons, an increase over last year ·of 517. They held 1,644 Prayer Meetings, 322 more than the previous year. 1),]28 religious visits were made, an increase over last year of 1,884. There were 828 conversions, 142 over last year. G19 Baptisms, an increase of 218. Church property was increased in lots, improvements and building, by 88,000, an increase over last year by $;,222. We here give you some of the results of our Brethren doing State Sunday-school and Colportage work. 22 missionaries in this work have labored 2,772 days, preached 1,399 sermons, supplied 44 churches and stations, attended 385 prayer meetings, made 5,220 religious visits and have seen as a result of their '" labours in God's hands, 480 conversious to the christian religion. Can we not find in these statements cause of real joy? It is for us to do our duty in the cause of spreading the Gospel, not to find fault with results. Let us faithfully and hopefully give as we are able, of our substance, to the uplifting of suffering men and women and leave God to care for the re sults. If space permitted, your committee would like to set before this Asso ciation a detailed statement of the work done by our Brethren in State Mission fields, also those doing State Sunday-school and Colportage work. We do recommend that you carefully study the tabular statements on these lines 0f work, as compiled by the Secretary of our State Board. It is in our knowledge of and ability to present facts as they pertain to our denomination as christians, that our claims as Baptists can be most effect ively presented, and our hopes to accomplish the salvation of souls be realIzed. Truly converted men and women should be as Pawns on the Chess board of the great Master-builder, ready to be moved by the Holy Spirit into lines of active service. Duty lies before us. The man of Faith can know the past without living in it; can live in the future without for getting that it is born in the present. No intelligent action, divinely direct ,ed, can fail of glorious results. If our intelligence is greater than that of ,some we know, let us be sure that we too are sitting on the footstool of the great Instructor. Let us up and at;our Master's work, Brethren, re membering that any wind of opposition that blows in the face of the marching brigade of Immanuel's army only unfolds to broader view the Battle-flag that is firmly held by our great Commander who marches at the head of the column. Respectfully, Your Committee, F. P. JENKINS, W. H. FELIX, C. S. WRIGHT. Elkhorn Bapti.~t A88ociation.

Report on Sunday-school was called for but com mittee was not agreed, and report was referred to P. V. Bomar, and for the time passed. Dr. W. T.

Have a basket lunch and recess of three quarters of an hour, and the evening session hold not later than 5 p. m. For which Dr. J. H. Boyet offered the following resolu tion, as a substitute: Resolved, That it is the sense of this body that the manner of enter taining the delegates and vi!litors, to future sessions of the Association, and the question of having one or two sessions a day be left entirely with the church where the Association is held. The vote on the substitute was taken standing, a division having been called for, and resulted in the adop tion of the substitute. The Moderator here asked leave of the Association to return to his home to take part in a contest for local option. The request was unanimously granted, and the Moderator named Dr. W. H. Fellx as Moderator for the remainder of the session.

REPORT ON SUDAY·SCHOOL. Rev. P. V. Barner read the Report on Sunday-school, and same was discussed by Brethren P. V. Bomar, J. H. Dew, J. Will. Jones and T. Warran Beagle. To Elkhorn Association: Your Committee on Sunday-schools makes the following report and asks that it may receive careful consideration. The character of the Church of Jesus Christ from 20 to 40 years hence, will depend very greatly upon the training given to the rising generation, that may be under our influence and gnidance. Not only this, but christian civilization and society of the future will be largely shaped by the impressions and training that may be given the childreu of the land. "As the twig is bent, the tree inclines." It is a misfortune that many children of our land grow up to maturity with a very meager, if any, religious training at home. Many, indeed the mas.1cs, glean their little religious knowledge from the preaching of the word. But for this, and the Sunday-school, they would grow up as ignorant as the heathen. It does not require 40 years continuous teaching in the Sunday-school to discover the ignorance of the mass of the people in this proud and boasted land of christian liberty and civilization. They, as a rule, have preaching euough, but we must get closer to them, and to this end Sun day-schools should be established in every neiglaborhood. For there are a great number of children in most of our communities who do not belong to the Sunday-school. If these then cannot be induced to come to the school in the church, or if this is not possible, let schools be established at the most convenient points and let us make it our endeavor not only to bring in all the children but also every person old and young who can possibly attend. For the Sunday-school is really the Bible school and we all ought to be students of that Blessed Word. If the membership of all our chnrches could be transformed into workers, the Church of Chri,t 20 vears hence, under the guidance and blessing of our Heavenly Father would be eminently worthy of its name. It might be called the church at work, having arrayed herself in her Beautiful Garment preparatory to the Master's second coming. \Ve recommend the Sunday-sceool literature published by the South ern Board at Nashville, Tenn.

The Board began the year with a debt of $1,100 and . ends the year with S7,950 .. The indebtedness incurred during the present year is $6,8,)0. Of this amount85,150has been invested in property in New Orleans and EI Paso, leaving the actual expenditure for the present year above receipts but SI,600. . GENERAL STATEMENT.

FOREIG~ MISSIONS Rev. J. V. Riley, Chairman, read the Report on Foreign Missions. The report was spoken to by the Chairman and adopted.

Contributions received 8107,262.42, of which amount Kentucky contributed 810,.510..';2, and of this amount the Elkhorn Association furnished 81 ,6i)5.23. \Vhile the results have been griltifying, especially God's manifest blessing on the labors of the missionaries, it is to be regretted that re sources have not been snfficient to enable the Board to reinforce our missions and to enter new and inviting fields which are ripe for harvest. Your committee wOlllo recommeno that missionary collections be more diligently urged in our churches in order to greatly increase the number of systematic givC'l's. Respectfully submitted, J. V.

A spirit of worship prevails in our meeting and the spirit of harmony and brotherly love is everywhere manifest. Our Association is composed of twenty-seven churches, all of whom are represented by letter and Messengers. The reports are quite gratifying in the main. There have been five hundred and forty-seven members added to our churches by baptism and letter. \Ve report a total membership of 6,094. We have reported twenty-four Sunday schools with a membership of 1,895 and 145 conversions in the schools. Our next Association will meet with the church at Nicholasville_ We invite yon to meet with us by letter and Messengers. May the blessings of our Heavenly Father rest upon you. J. H. DEW. Motion prevailed that any member of this Associa tiun, attending the sessions of any corresponding Body,_ shall be and is hereby constituted a representative of this Association. The following brethren expressed their in tention of being present at the sessions of these respec tive Associations: yS Minutes of the
Otis Hughson, South District Association. Howard L. Jones, J. H. Boyet, W. H. Felix, F. P. Jenkins, Boones Creek Association. T. Warren Beagle, Concord and Franklin Associa tions. Rev. T. Warren Beagle was appointed Committee on Temperance. A unanimous vote of thanks was expressed by ris ing, to the East Hickman Baptist Church and friends, for the bountiful and open-hearted hospitality extended to the members of the Elkhorn Association during this seSSlOn. The usual amount was voted the clerk for service. Rev. Otis Hughson offered the following resolution. Resolved, That the reading of the statistics from our churches being of more import than the letters, and not feeling that the Association has time to hear hoth, therefore Resoiz'ed, That unless there is something of especial interest that cannot be included in the statistical report,C'hurches be requested to send nothing but statistical report. After discussion by a number of the brethren, the resolution was ordered laid on the table. Rev. T. J. Marksberry, pastor of Corinth Baptist Church, made an earnest presentation of the condition of the church, her struggles for existence, her growth in membership and working forces, and of the debt that is now threatening the life of the church, and plead earnestly that some steps be taken to save the church to our de nomination. Dr. John H.

The resolution was discussed by J. H. Boyet, F. P. Jenkins, J. V. Riley and W. W. Lee, and adopted. The hour for preaching having arrived it was moved that we dispense with the regular order of business and -continue with the business before us, until completed, and Elkhorn Baptist Association.
have preaching at conclusion of business. Motion pre vailed. Report on Temperance was called for. Rev. T. Warren Beagle read Report on Temperance, and same was adopted without discussion. The temperance question being one of vital importance and of in creasing power, therefore we recommend that the past0rs preach at least once a year upon this subject and that the membership use all proper means for the suppression of the liquor traffic in our midst. T. 'vVARREN BEAGLE, Chairman. Rev J V. Riley read Report on Education which was adopted. It is gratifying to be able to report a year of unusual prosperity for nearly all our educational institutions, notwithstanding the continued stringency in financial matters. 'vVith a larger attendance there has come also increased spiritual prosperity. Our school will have a stronghold upon the sympathy and love of our people largely in proportion to the care which they bestow upon the religious interests of their pnpils. To secure for our young people the best educational advantages, under wholesome, spiritual influences, is one of the main purposes sought for in the planting of schools and colleges. Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has had a prosperous year. The enrollment of students reached the number of 318, who have done a good work, and the general trend and tone of affairs have been up ward and onward. Bethel College has had a prosperous year. The average attendance was better than formerly. Williamsburg Institute matriculated 412 students during the session just closed, and the Trustees and Faculty are much encouraged over the future prospects of the institution. Bethel Female College has enrolled during the past year eighty, and is under the new administration making arrangements adequate to meet all the requirements of a first-class female institution. Clinton College, in'vVestern Kentucky, merits a notice in this con nection, and is to be congratulated in having secured as President one of our strongest men, in Rev. A. S. Pettie, of Mayfield, a son of Elkhorn Association from the Hillsboro Church. May the greatest success at tend his administration. Georgetown College, located within our bounds, especially com mends herself to our people, young men and young ladies, longing for a thorough educational training. The past year has been one of very gratifying resu1ts-:199 students were enrolled-more than in any previ ous year. The recent buildings, including the Rucker Hall for young ladies, has greatly increased the facilities of accommodating students, where the provisions for instruction by a full and competent faculty and supply of apparatus are unsurpassed, thus inviting a full attendance the ensuing year. J. V: RILEY. Rev. H. W. Virgin read the Report on Ministers' Aid which was adopted. The report of the Secretary of the Ministers' Aid Society show that in 20 llIintttes Of the regard to getting up the permanent fund some advance has been made last year, and yet coming to the stringency of the times, notwithstanding the fact the Secretary made a special effort last year, the increase is hardly up to the average. Certainly there is no work that can appeal more closely to the hearts of God's people than this, the work of the Baptist Ministers' Aid Society. Many of onr ministers devote their lives to the work of the Master. and receive a miserable pittance; and when they are worn ont in the service there is no support for them unless we care for them in their last days. From such a condition there comes a strong appeal to us that should move our hearts and awaken every tender, loving impulse and canse us to give to tlzem. At beginning of year there were 20 beneficiaries; four were received during the year and two have died. We would suggest that each church take up a special collection toward the Endowment Fund of the Society. H. 'vV. VIRGIN. Prof. T. B. Demoree was recognized and invited to address the Association on Temperance, to which he re sponded in a ten minutes' talk. A recess of ten minutes was here taken, after which Rev. P. V. Bomar preached from Luke 9: 23-25 The reading of the minutes was dispensed with.
After singing "Blest be the tie that binds," and a good-by hand grasp, the Association closed its session to meet with the Nicholasville Baptist Church, Nicholas ville, Ky., Tuesday after the 2d Sunday in August, r897. J. J. RUCKER. Moderator, Georgetown) Ky. F. P. JENKINS, Clerk, Lexington, Ky.
