TIME TO DO SOMETHING
Conference Year is Fast Drawing to a
Close and There is Yet Much
Work to be Done.
Editor The Journal:
The brethren of the Methodist
churches of the Sulphur lioek cir
cuit will please suffer me to make
this appeal.
Only a few days of the confer
ence year remain in which to finish
up the work. The collections were
reported in full last year. What
sort of a report do you wish to
send to the annual conference this
year? Do you desire everything
paid in full? If so, help, as the
Lord has prospered you.
Nearly every one lias a better
crop than he expected. Those
who thought they Would gather
only four bales of cotton have
gathered from live to five and a
half. Now, if one-tenth of this
extra bale and a half were paid to
the support of the institutions of
the church we would be able to
have reported at conference, not
■oniy ever.vimng paiu in iuu, uui
an excess on the assessments. l)o
you not owe God's cause this
much? Tliis is an honest debt as
sumed by your legal representa
tive in the conference, ami breth
ren, you must pay it or displease
Cod.
# Our pastor lias tried energetical
ly to provide for the benevolent
institutions of the church, which
will be paid in full if all the sub
script ions are paid.
Our fourth quarterly conference
will be held at Sulphur Rock on
Wednesday and Thursday, the
28rd and 24th of this month. Bro.
Hays will be with us at that time.
Brethren, let's send our stew
ards to this conference with every
dollar paid for the support of the
ministry. Why not? Our pastor
deserves and needs every dollar
due him. Wry respectfully,
Laborer.

Work Being Done by Baptist
Churches in Arkansas.
(’ord’ Ark., Nov. 10.- The Gen
* ral Association of Missionary
hiptist Churches of Arkansas met
in Concordia Hall at Little Rock
°n the 4th of November and closed
on the 7th.
lho. \\. L. Smith of Melbourne
preached a very interesting ser
mon while the committee on cre
dentials were attending to their
work.
Messengers were present from
all Parts of the state. The meet
ing was permanently organized bv
electing Eld. \\\ T. Box, of Mor
I'dton, as moderator, Bro. Ben M.
Bogard, editor of the Landmark
Baptist, of Little Rook, was elect
ed assistant moderator. Eld. ,).
L. Brown, of Charlotte, was elect
ed assistant secretary, but declin
ed to serve on account of not be
ing well. Bros. Thomason and
Lckols were elected clerks, and
Bro. \\. C. C. Dorough treasurer,

Kid. J. N. Ilall, editor of the
American Baptist Flag, of Fulton,
K.v., and Eld. .1. A. Scorborough,
author the “Baptist Bible,” were
in attendance; also two foreign
missionaries.
rhe report on literature was of
much interest. Quite a number
of splendid speeches were made.
The report recommended the rais
ing of $5<».000 to organize a stock
company for publishing the Land
mark Baptist, books, etc., of which
amount $4o,000 is now in sight. If
the plan is consumated Eld. J. N.
Hall will come to Arkansas and
consolidate his paper, the Ameri
can Baptist Flag, with the Land
mark Baptist.
During the past year between
1 $4,000 and $5,000 has been raised
by the Baptists in Arkansas. All
the missionaries were paid off, and
a balance left in the treasury.
AH the preaching was of a high
order and very spirited, but I can
not refrain from mentioning Eld
er Hall’s sermon in Concordia Hall
on Sunday I'he re were 1,000 or
1,200 people present and he mov
ed the vhsi audience to tears by
his earnest (Jospel preaching.

We start in the new year with
flattering prospects. All tlie mis
sionaries of last year will be con
tinued except Bro. VV. L. Smith,

cate in a pastorate.
\ow let every Landmark Bap
tist arise and do their duty.
