INDEPENDENCE BAP
TIST ASSOCIATION.
To The Newark Journal:
The above body of Baptists met,
as was previously announced in
The Journal, at Sulphur Rock,
the 9th, 10th and 11th of Septem
ber. The appointee to preach the
opening sermon not being present,
l)r. A. J. Barton was called on
and preached an interesting ser
mon on “Heaven.”
The former moderator, Bro. J.
W. Goodwin, having died, Bro. D.
A. Allen, as clerk, called the body
together. We were permanently
organized by electing Rev. J. P.
Lovelaee moderator and Bro. Jno.
Q. Wolf clerk, About twenty
churches were represented. One
newly organized church came into
the body. Those who preached
during the session were Revs. A.
J. Barton, E. N. Campbell, J. F.
Love, S. W. Calaway and W. E.
Duran. And as the Protestant
Methodists asked for services at
Oak Grove, the writer and Bro.
G. W. James preached there Sun
day and Sunday night. We had
an interesting discussion on differ
ent questions, but the spirit of the
Lord was with us. The reports
show there have been some ad
vancement in the past year. A
number of additions and baptisms.
An advance step was taken on as
sociation missions, and in the re
port on tempetance the following
was adopted, not only by the
body, but all the congregation
solemnly stood up: “We pledge
our selves to do all we can to stop
the sale of alcohol in any way we
can.” So you see there is a strong
sentiment for temperance. We
ask all to join us in this pledge.
Sunday evening we retired to
where there was “much water”
and after a strong sermon by the
pastor, Rev. ,1. L. Brown, on the
subject, he baptized in the primi
tive way, four happy converts.
The visiting preachers were Bros.
Duran, Campbell, Love, Barton
and President Conger of Ouachita.
We closed Monday night. I can
not say too much with regard to
the entertainment given us while
at the association. My home was
with Brother Johnson and he and
lady know just how to make a vis
itor feel at home; and this was the
universal verdict of all messen
gers. We meet in 1906 at Cedar
Grove Church. J. I. Martin.

DEAF-nUTE INSTITUTE
WILL OPEN OCTOBER 4.
The regular term of the Arkan
sas Deaf-Mute Institute at Little
Rock will open October fourth,
although the opening of the negro
annex will be postponed until De
cember 1, the delay being caused
by the lack of room and the fact
that the new buildings will not be
completed before that time.
Superintendent A. (i. Mashburn
urges the parents of all deaf-mute
children of the state to send them
to the school, as tuition and board,
and even railroad fare and cloth
ing, are absolutely free. He says:
“Parents ought not to let a mis
taken idea of love and a dread of
separation drive them to make the
lamentable error of keeping the
dear children at home.”
There are twenty-one teachers
in the common school branches
and eight instructors in the var
ious trades by which the pupils
are enabled to earn a living after
their graduation.
