Brother Moderator and Brethren—We, your committee on 
temperance, submit the following: 

“Whereas, intemperance has done, and is doing so much to 
hinder the progress of our people, in many ways, 

“1. Resolve: that all Christians by temperance lives so utilize 
their influence in spreading the temperance habit; that they not 
only abstain from the use of intoxications, but that they be tem- 
perant in all things, ° 

“2. Be it further resolved that the whole Christian Church co- 
operate with the civil authorities, in inforcing the law against in- 
temperance.”

REPORT OF COMMITTEE ON EDUCATION 


Whereas, it is an established truth that the most advanced 
and enlightened people of the world are those who have been 
brought under the benign influence of Christian education; and 
whereas, it is the bulwark of our own civilization and the upbuild- 
ing and safe-guard of manhood and womanhood of this great na- 
tion; and whereas, we have seen the necessity of such an educa- 
tion; Therefore, be it resolved: That this Association continue 
to give its moral and financial support to our Baptist institutions; 
and that our young men, called to the Christian ministry, and 
others who desire to pursue higher studies, be urged to attend 
Shaw University; and that this Association appropriate as much 
money as possible to aid the Theological Department of the above 
named school, and worthy young men of our denomination, who 
are preparing themselves for the ministry. 

Be it Resolved further, That we from time to time, encourage 
our young people to take advantage of the educational possibilities 
and opportunities which the state of North Carolina is offering its 
citizens. 

Respectfully submitted,

UNION MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION 


REPORT OF CORRESPONDING SECRETARY 


Your Corresponding Secretary, 


Dear Co-workers: 

We must all agree that the Lord has brought us een one 
more year of service and has refilled our barns and store houses 
with blessings; each heart should be quickened by telling experi- 
ence of Gospel Power, effective vibration of satisfaction and joy. 

Let us realize what a wonderful opportunity that we have to 
utilize these growing powers and their sweet tender spirits saying 
to you, and I go into My vineyard and whatsoever is right I will 
give you. Dear brethren, the call of mission is knocking at our 
door—to my mind, we should heed this great call. There is a call 
for us from Liberia and from Haiti, a call to us from South Am- 
erica, Northern India and All Africa. Shall we answer these ealls? 

Our educational project has ceased to say, I need your help 
any longer. Since this is true, suppose we heed the Macedonian 
cry, “Come over and help us”. Suppose that we, as an association, 
take active steps in sending the Gospel into all the world since 
mission is the work of the Christian Church. 


Hodges’ I[nstituticn 


I feel brethren, that the. building and land of Hodges’ Institu- 
tion should be rented for some amount, and that the proceeds 
should be reported to the Association annually, and that such 
proceeds be given to mission. I wish, too, my brethren, that each 
member of our Churches could see the wisdom of giving to mission 
—if so God would get glory out of our lives. We should choose 
Jesus Christ as our teacher and guide, and as he direct, let us 
follow. 


The Folly of Self-Confidence 


The object of our trust and confidence must necessarily be of 
the greatest importance. It is the foundation of the building, 
which if not strong and secure, must involve the edifice in ruin; it 
is the ground into which the anchor of the mariner is cast, and on 
which the safety of the vessel depends. Being so confessedly im- 
portant, we meet with a variety of directions concerning it in 
the divine Word. 

We are warned repeatedly against false objects of trust; we 
are especially admonished not to trust in man, whose breath is in 
his nostrils; not even in princes, for men of high degree, as well as 
men of low degree are vanity. We are cautioned not to trust in 
riches—not make gold our confidence. Not even to trust in our 
own hearts—trusting cur hearts means to rest on its sufficiency; 

Therefore, let us put on the whole armor of faith. The present 
condition of Christians are one of tréils and perils. He is a mariner 
crossing the sea of life, exposed to storms and tempests, wherein, 
many have made ship-wreck of faith and a good conscience. 

He is a spiritual racer, and is running the Christan course, 
eagerly stretching forth his hand to seize the wreath of glory and 
eternal life. Let us have grace to sustain us and glory to, animate 
us having done all than we will be able to stand. 

Dear co-workers, I dare not close without saying a word for 
the Theological Department of Shaw. This Association should go

UNION MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION 


PROCEEDINGS 


St. Paull N.C.) Oct 2aialoe ae 


The Union Missionary Baptist Association convened 
in its thirty-ninth annual session at 10:30 a. m. with 
the Shiloh Baptist Church. In the absence of Moder- 
ator Dr. E. E. Smith, who was reported sick by Rev. 
H. G. Pope, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Fay- 
etteville, and L. A. Raeford, Clerk of the Associa- 
tion, Rev. S. W. Smith, Vice-Moderator, called the 
house to order and asked Bro. M. D. Bery to lead the 
opening devotion, assisted by H. B. Barnhill, who lined 
hymn No. 4838. Prayer by W. M. Patterson. Second 
hymn No. 516. Prayer by Bro. A. J. McDonald. 

Among those present at this service were: Dr. A. W. 
Pegues, Revs.: J. J. Scarlett, N. B:: Dunham, Hepes 
Bandy, H. Adams, Geo. Williams, I. P. Pearsal, A. A. 
Morssey, D. J. Devane, J. M. Smith, W. T. Currie, Bros. 
J. W. Council, A. L. Johnson, E. S. Melvin, and others. 
After some brief remarks by the Vice Moderator, the 
programmes were adopted as a guide for the session. 
Rev. Wm. Allen, pastor of the Church, came forward 
and delivered the address of welcome. Rev. Allen, 
among the many good things, said, “All things are 
ready, enjoy yourselves as men of God.”’ 

Response by Rev. N. B. Dunham, Field Secretary of 
the Association. The time having arrived for the open- 
ing sermon, Rev. J. F. Freeman and Rev. E. J. F. Mel- 
vin took seats on the rostrum. Rev. Melvin lined hymn 
No. 710. This hymn was chaunted with uplifted 
voices. 

Rev. Freeman then read the 9th chapter of Mark. 
Rev. Melvin lead in fervent prayer. The congregation 
then joined Rev. Melvin in singing praise His holy 
name. The Moderator presented the Speaker in fitting 
words. Rev. Freeman arose and preached the intro- 
ductory sermon from the text “Salt is good.” Mark 
9-50. Subject. Have salt in yourselves. First the 
speaker said salt has no substitute, that is nothing will 
take the place of salt. In speaking:of sweetness, you 
can substitute. Think of the white maple, the ribbon 
cane. Either will meet conditions so far as the hu- 

16 


UNION MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION 


man taste is concerned. Yet nothing will take the 
place of salt. The Spirit cannot use us unless we have 
that. saving power. So let us have sait in ourselves 
and peace with all mankind. The sermon was a mes- 
sage of love delivered with power, full of thought and 
inspiration. Salt was introduced as the chief need of 
the human family and when the man of God was 
through saying, Rev. Mosley of the Lumber River As- 
sociation lead in singing “I am the vine ye are the 
branches.”’ After a few brief remarks by the Vice 
Moderator, the roll of churches, ordained ministers, li- 
centates, deacons and messengers were called. See re- 
port. The following.committees were then appointed. 
See committees. 

At 12:30 the congregation joined Rev. D. J. Devane 
in singing Shine On Me. The Moderater then present- 
ed the speaker of the hour, Dr. A. W. Pegues. First 
the speaker said I am interested in the cause of 
Christ is why Iam here. I would have stayed at home 
but I could not. I said to my folks, we must attend 
the Union Association on the 25th. Though we are 
sorry to learn that Dr. E. E. Smith is unable to at- 
tend, yet we pray a speedy recovery for him. The 
speaker continued by saying Christ’s interest was our 
interest if we only could see it. Without Me ye can do 
nothing. If this is true and it is Christ has a world’s 
unlimited interest. How can we show that our inter- 
est is his? (Ans.) By giving. So let us give to Shaw, 
the school that has made the negro Baptist of North 
Carolina what we are. Remember this school always 
has stood for moral and spiritual uplift of the race. 

Dr. Pegues encouraged the idea of giving to a needy 
and worthy cause. At the close of his remarks a col- 
lection was then taken for Shaw University to the 
amount of $50.00. The body stood adjourned to re- 
convene at 2:30. Benediction by Rev. H. G. Pope. 


Thursday Afternoon Session 


The Association reconvened at 2:30 p. m. Vice Mod- 
erator presiding. Bro. C. H. Hall and King Cromartie 
led devotions. After a few brief remarks bv the mod- 
erator the body began the regular order. Minutes of 
the morning session were read and approved. Rev. 
H. W. Hall of the L. R. Association came forward and

Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel. First 
the man of God said this charge was given to Christ’s 
first disciples and it was before they were fully pre- 
pared for service, because they had not yet received 
the promises of the Father. Now you go and preach one 
Lord, one faith, one baptism, and tell all you come in 
contact with they must be born again. Though the 
new birth we learn of the doctrine of grace, where as

ald. D. A. Simmons, the Moderator, then called up the

day evening session. On motion committee on obituary 
reported. (See report.) 

11:00. By orders of the chair the pending question 
was considered. Topic “For what purpose’ should 
young ministers prepare themselves for the Gospel 
ministry.”’ Opened by Rev. W. T. Currie, followed by 
Rev. N. B. Dunham. In discussing this question it was 
clearly shown that preparation fits us to meet others 
and stand with firmness. Think of Moses prepared in 
all the ways of the Kgyptians. What for? To meet the 
King’s» guests. 

The preparation in Keypt fitted him for the King’s 
service, and hig surrender at the burning bush, after 
vears of vacation, qualified him as missionary back to 
Egypt. Remember, young men, we must be prepared 
to deliver the message given to those when he said go 
and as ye go preach. The height of a young minister 
should be to help some one, and God will help him. 
Think of Washington’s monument, five hundred feet 
high, made of stone and granite, yet each had to be 
prepared to fit. Now if the builders of Washington’s 


19 


UNION MISSIONARY BAPTIST ASSOCIATION 


monument used prepared material, let us prepare our- 
selves and God will use us in His service. This subject 
was followed with an able response by Rev. I. P. Pear- 
sal, pastor of Good Hope Church, East Fayetteville.

awaiting him. Rev. Scarlett in his closing remarks 
said, above all, we must be born again, change from 
nature to grace. The sermon was enjoyed by all pres-

Dear Bro. Moderator and brethren of the Associa-

ery and enjoyed by all present. Among those who re-
