tlon Concluded At Onkmnn
DORA, Ala, Sept. 16.— (Special.) —
At the eighty-ninth session of the
North River Baptist Missionary as
sociation, which has just convened at
Oakman Baptist church, there were
representatives from different parts
of the state, and about 50 churches
were represented, sending up messen
gers to report the results of the year.
There were discussions on Sunday
schools. Baptist Young Peoples union,
temperature, state, home and foreign
missions, denomination and minis
terial education, stewardship, hospi
tals, religious literature, orphans
home, prayer and prayer meetings,
and aged and infirm ministers. A new
departure was that of appointing J.
W. Strange of Jasper as stewardship
committee for the entire association,
with a view of organizing the dif
ferent churches into committees on
stewardship, having a rally in Decem
ber. Another departure from the old
custom, was to appoint churches in
stead of individuals as committees to
make reports on the different phases
| of the work next year.
