The secretary of the education board re- ports the humiliating fact that more than 400 of the churches of the general asscclation bave contributed nothing to the board dur- Ing the past year, and 42 of these delinquents are in tnis (Potomac) association. The claims of the Southern Baptist Asso- ciation are alluded to, and the report at some length urges the importance of educa- tonal interests. . J. L..

El cor ndin tary r. J. T. Ellyson, corresponding secre! of the board of education, addressed the as- sociation, oe oe the ministers should be more thoroughly prepared for the work. Rey.

Mr. Lame said the apparent failure of the collections was owing to the fact that the — were made = to Jane 15th last, when the churches usuaily make their col- lectiovs late in summer or in the fall. In the course of his remarks he denied the statement that he bad heard when a boy that THE BAPTISTS OF VIRGINIA AK& AN iGNO- RANT SET, and stated that no sect had been as liberal as they, for they had respoaded nobly to every call made upon them. Taw repori was went over. 3 Brother Dulin reported that Upperville be the place for the next meeting, Rev. Dr. Cuthbert to deliver the sermon, Kev. Samuel Barber, alternate; adopted. Rey. Mr. Penick submitted the report on STATE OF VIRGINIA MISSIONS. In reference to taat portion of tbe territory Within the bounds of the association he States that there have been five missiouaries employed steadily, and two part of the time. The report urges that Leesburg, Faiis Church, Front Royal and other points should be oceupted. Mr. H. K.

Situated as she rt ph.caily, with the natural advantages ebe has, there was bo reasoa but that io a few years she could successfully contend With any of the great states of ihe Union. With facts 1d view, every Virginia christi#a can see the responsibilities resting upon them. As Baptists, including the col- ored members, they numbered in tua@t state 173,000, and they should aid the board to ant a church neighdcrhood.

He noted that the statistics showed tnat the larger the number of missionaries sept out the larger the number of converts. If the churches were fully awake to their responsi- bility they will every year increase their contributions. At the annual meeting in July 21 missionaries were appointed for the whole year, apd i7 until the meeting of the respective associations. In to the contributions there is a good deal of encour- agement, and he noted the fact that the con- tributions given the ten years since the war ee Set Sonne = = b prosperous years prior 6 PY ney gave in prosperity but give more poverty.
