progress,  but  I'm  established."  One  day  the  farmer  was  hauling  logs 
and  his  wagon  sank  into  the  mud.  After  failing  to  get  the  wagon  out, 
he  climbed  up  on  the  logs  to  study  the  situation.  A  neighbor  and  fellow- 
church  member  passed  and  said,  ''Brother  Jones,  I  see  you're  not 
making  much  progress,  but  you're  firmly  established." 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  15 

11.  Baptists  of  the  Pee  Dee  Association  have  been  a  part  of  the 
State  and  Southern  Baptist  conventions  for  years,  and  we  are  glad  to 
say  that  we  have  not  become  established  in  the  mud,  but  have  pro- 
gressed since  then.  Satisfaction  is  bad  if  it  makes  us  lazy  or  careless, 
because  the  onward  procession  might  change  into  the  vicious  circle  that 
spells  stagnation.  In  presenting  this  report,  it  is  hoped  that  we  may 
rejoice  in  our  progress,  and  at  the  same  time,  heed  the  command  to  move 
to  the  fore  for  Christ. 

THE   CO-OPERATIVE   PROGRAM 

12.  In  giving  through  (not  to)  the  co-operative  program,  we  give  to 
the  support  of  the  whole  or  complete  plan  of  Christ:  preaching,  teaching, 
healing  and  visitation  of  the  needy.  It  is  important  that  we  understand 
the  method  of  operation  of  this  co-operative  program — the  funds  are 
given  undesignated,  and  applied  in  proportion  to  the  needs  of  all  our 
causes.  In  North  Carolina,  60%  of  the  contributions  are  used  at 
home,  while  40%  is  given  over  to  south  wide  needs.  It  is  hoped  that  this 
can  be  changed  soon,  to  a  50-50  basis.  The  plan  is  as  yet,  the  most 
satisfactory  that  we  can  use.  The  HABIT  of  giving  in  this  manner  is 
what  we  need,  because  I'm  sure  we  all  understand  its  purpose — the 
proportionate  support  of  ALL  that  Jesus  would  have  us  do  as  HIS  fol- 
lowers. 

MISSIONS 

13.  We  have  in  American  History,  two  great  commissions.  The  first 
made  George  "Washington  commander-in-chief  of  the  Colonial  Army;  and 
he  led  our  colonies  to  victory.  The  second  great  commission  sent  Benja- 
min Franklin  to  the  Court  of  France,  where  his  service  meant  much  to 
America.  All  through  the  world,  there  are  great  commissions,  but  the 
Great  Commission  is  found  in  Matthew  28,  and  we  hope  that  we  may, 
in  our  capacity^  obey  the  commission  of  Christ  in  its  entirety. 

14.  For  the  past  several  months,  we  have  been  studying  in  Sunday 
School,  about  Christ's  Commission  that  has  changed  the  world,  and 
about  the  spread  of  the  new  Christian  religion,  step  by  step,  as  He  had 
directed.  The  three  steps  were  First — establishing  the  nucleus  at  home — 
then  working  in  the  surrounding  territory — and  finally  entering  the  world 
at  large.     It  is  our  privilege  to  share  in  the  work  of  three  such  fields. 

State  Missions 

15.  The  organized  efforts  of  our  State  Mission  work  is  to  win  the 
people  of  North  Carolina  to  Christ,  and  through  our  training  agencies, 
to  prepare  them,  as  the  State  Missions  Board  says — to  devote,  not  only 
a  life,  but  a  trained  life  to  Christ's  work.  About  one  hundred  and 
six,ty  churches  in  needy  and  strategic  places  are  being  aided  now  in 
pastoral  work.     Churches  in  educational  centers  are  aided  in  order  that 


16  One  Hundred  Twenty-first  Annual  Session 

our  students  may  have  the  best  inducement  to  worship.     Several  churches 
are  being  helped  in  paying  for  adequate  church  plants. 

16.  Eeverend  Wayne  Williams  is  carrying  on  his  wonderful  work 
among  the  sick  veterans  at  the  government  hospital  at  Oteen,  and  Eev- 
erend and  Mrs.  M.  C.  Lunsford  are  continuing  their  fine  work  with 
the  Indians  in  Eobeson  County.  In  1935,  the  Baptist  State  Convention 
decided  to  let  Eeverend  W.  C.  Somerville  co-operate  with  the  Negro 
State  Convention  in  arousing  and  enlisting  the  quarter  of  a  million 
Negro  Baptists  in  the  state.  Let  us  pray  that  this  work  might  continue 
to  succeed  in  its  purpose  and  that  it  might  bring  about  a  better  racial 
understanding.  The  Board  has  two  general  missionaries — Eeverend 
M.  O.  Alexander  and  Eeverend  J.  C.  Pipes,  who  give  their  attention 
to  the  state  in  general.  Let  us  fortify  our  home  base,  because,  upon 
that  rests  all  our  mission  work. 

Home  Missions 

17.  Our  Samaria  consists  of  the  Southland  and  Cuba — that  is,  the 
territory  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention.  No  greater  challenge  con- 
fronts us  as  Christians  than  the  winning  of  the  people  within  our  home- 
land borders,  who  need  Christ.  10,000,000  Negroes,  5,000,000  foreigners, 
200,000  Indians  in  Oklahoma  and  New  Mexico,  800,000  Mexicans  on 
our  side  of  the  border,  and  600,000  French  in  Louisiana  are  enough 
to  make  us  forget  our  back-fence  squabbles  and  get  to  work  on  our 
possibilities  among  these  people. 

18.  The  Home  Mission  Board  is  making  splendid  progress,  consider- 
ing its  financial  limitations.  Twenty-seven  new  missionaries  were 
appointed  last  year,  who  bring  the  total  up  to  two  hundred  and  eighty- 
three,  working  eight  hundred  and  ninety-four  mission  churches  and  mis- 
sion '  stations.  Bibles  are  distributed,  a  sanatorium  is  supported,  an 
orphanage  for  Mexican  children  is  maintained,  a  free  clinic  is  furnished 
for  poor  children  in  Cuba,  and  other  worthy  activities  are  carried  on. 
This  has  been  done  for  two  years  without  borrowing  money,  and  pay- 
ments are  being  made  on  the  principal  of  old  debts. 

Foreign  Missions 

19.  The  Gospel  message,  having  radiated  from  the  center  or  origin 
on  toward  the  circumference  of  the  mission  field,  is  now  carried  by 
Southern  Baptists  into  fifteen  foreign  countries.  We  rejoice  in  the 
fact  that  last  year,  there  were  reported  from  our  fields,  13,982  baptisms. 
This  means  that  splendid  progress  has  been  made  since  the  beginning  of 
our  foreign  mission  work  ninety-one  years  ago.  Our  next  thought  is, 
that  the  possibilities  before  us  are  so  much  greater  than  the  progress 
mjade.  The  outlook  is  hopeful,  however,  both  in  a  material  and  in  a 
spiritual  sense.  The  debt  has  been  reduced  since  January  1st,  1935  by 
$480,500 — leaving   the   present   debt   about   $444,000.      The    Board   has 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Assoctation  17 


pledged  to  live  within  its  income,  and  by  1938  it  expects  to  pay  its 
debt  entirely.     Let  us  work  for  increased  contribution  toward  this  end. 

20.  The  W.  M.  U.,  in  addition  to  its  Lottie  Moon  and  other  offer- 
ings, has  pledged  to  secure  25,000  new  members  for  the  Hundred  Thous- 
and Club,  a  good  proportion  of  whose  funds  go  to  Foreign  Missions. 
W.  M.  U.  has  beyond  a  doubt,  saved  us  from  more  serious  retreat  on 
foreign  fields.  To  insure  the  return  of  our  missionaries  on  furlough  to 
their  work,  let  us  pledge  greater  financial  support  and  more  earnest 
prayers. 

CHRISTIAN  EDUCATION 

21.  "The  Christian  College  is  the  center  for  the  reorganization  of 
society  after  the  mind  of  Christ, ' '  says  our  beloved  Dr.  William  Louis 
Poteat,  who  celebrates  his  eightieth  birthday  today,  October  twentieth. 
The  influence  of  the  Christian  College  is  an  invisible  light  beam  which 
may  touch  off  in  man,  the  motive  that  is  higher  than  financial  gain  and 
political  aspiration — that  motive  of  searching  for  truth,  and  in  its  light, 
serving  fellowmen  and  crowning  Christ  our  perfect  King. 

22.  Our  Baptist  colleges  and  seminaries  are  educating  around  23,000 
young  people  in  the  light  of  Christ's  teachings.  Their  properties  and 
endowments  are  valued  at  over  $60,000,000,  but  their  value  is  not 
estimated  in  dollars.  Such  things  as  progress.  Christian  influence,  and 
the  way  to  salvation  cannot  be  termed  in  statistical  figures.  We  must 
make  our  future  leaders  Christ-conscious  or  the  world  will  bleed  itself 
to  death  on  the  battlefields  of  competitive  greed,  jealousy  and  treachery. 
"Christian  education,"  says  Herald  and  Presbyter,  ''is  the  sole  hope 
of  our  nation.  If  our  people  grow  up  in  succeeding  generations  with- 
out the  permeating  and  saving  influences  of  divine  truth  in  their  hearts 
and  lives,  we  will  become  increasingly  materialistic  and  unbelieving  and 
immoral,  selfish  and  hard,  lost  to  the  true  principles  of  high  and  holy 
character.  True  religion  is  no  more  sectarian  than  sunshine  or  rain, 
and  every  one  who  has  any  concern  for  the  welfare  of  the  children  and 
of  the  nation  must  combine  in  securing  true  training  for  those  who  are 
coming  now  to  years  of  responsibility  and  activity." 

BENEVOLENCES 
The  Hospital 

23.  Our  Baptist  hospital  in  Winston-Salem  is  the  result  of  our 
desire  to  do  on  a  large  scale  something  for  those  who  are  suffering. 
The  joy  of  our  hospital  work  is  that  it  furnishes  treatment  for  many 
who  are  not  able  to  affford  it.  Of  the  four  thousand  expected  paitients 
for  1936,  almost  one-half  of  that  number  will  be  part-pay  and  free 
patients.  Although  the  Duke  Endowment  gives  about  one-fourth  of  the 
daily  cost  of  each  patient,  Mr.  Hagaman  and  his  fine  staff  of  sixty-six 
doctors,  nurses   (forty -seven),  and  surgeons  must  depend  largely  on  our 


18  One  Hunbred  Twenty-first  Annual  Session 

desire  to  have  a  supporting  part  in  their  work.  Through  our  church 
offerings,  especially  on  Mother's  Day,  the  greater  part  of  the  expense 
of  the  hospital  is  derived.  Our  healing  of  the  sick  in  body  is  but  a 
continuation  of  the  practice  of  Jesus. 

The  Orphanage 

24.  The  part  of  our  work  that  is  concerned  with  the  care  of  little 
children  is  the  part  that  always  attracts  our  attention.  For  several 
reasons,  it  should  attract  our  aittention,  and,  of  course,  the  first  is  our 
desire  to  see  children  reared  under  a  well-rounded  and  Christian  pro- 
gram. Mills  Home  and  Kennedy  Home  have  given  about  four  thousand 
children  nourishing  food,  wholesome  activities,  thorough  training  and 
Christian  influence. 

25.  Even  though  we  realize  that  all  the  fine  things  that  are  being 
done,  require  money,  and  that  the  limited  physical  plant  of  the  orphan- 
age needs  to  be  expanded,  less  than  three  hundred  of  our  two  thousand, 
four  hundred  and  ten  Sunday  Schools  even  attempt  a  monthly  offering 
for  the  orphanage.  It  is  chiefly  through  the  Thanksgiving  offering  that 
the  funds  are  supplied.  Mr.  Greer  and  his  helpers  need  both  our  ma- 
terial and  our  spiritual  support  in  giving  these  members  of  the  future 
generation,  their  opportunity  in  the  world. 

Relief  and  Annuity 

26.  In  the  eighteen  years  of  its  service,  the  Relief  and  Annuity 
Board  has  directed  a  cheering  ray  of  comfort  and  reassurance  into  the 
lives  of  several  thousands  of  our  aged  ministers  and  mdows  of  minis- 
ters. Never  has  a  worthier  cause  been  supported,  because  these  men 
and  women  have  spent  their  lives  in  serving  God  and  God's  people.  It 
is  not  just  that  they  should  be  dependent  and  insecure  in  their  latter 
years.  '  Increased  contributions  are  sought  by  means  of  a  Fellowship 
Offering  to  be  taken  at  least  once  a  year  in  each  church  in  connection 
with  the  observance  of  the  Lord's  Supper.  Over  one  hundred  North 
Carolinians  are  helped  yearly  by  the  Eelief  Fund. 

27.  The  younger  men  in  the  ministry  may  prepare  for  the  future 
through  the  Annuity  fund  by  paying  a  small  percentage  of  the  monthly 
salary,  supplementary  to  a  similar  percentage  paid  by  the  church. 
Only  one-fifth  of  the  cost  is  paid  by  the  beneficiary,  because  the  denomi- 
nation pays  the  remaining  four-fifths  through  the  Annuity  Board. 

TRAINING  ACTIVITIES 
Sunday  School 

28.  *'A  good  Sunday  School  is  not  an  accident"  is  a  truthful  state- 
ment found  in  our  Baptist  manual,  Building  a  Standard  Sunday  School. 
It  is  equally  true  that  the  splendid  state  work  is  not  an  accident,  but 
is  built  by  the  active  and  loving  hands  in  charge  of  it.  Realizing  that 
the  essentials  of  a  good  Sunday  School  must  be  known,  that  the  plans 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  19 

for  building  a  good  Sunday  School  must  be  understood,  and  that  the 
specifications  for  building  a  good  Sunday  School  must  be  faithfully 
followed,  our  workers  are  making  North  Carolina  aware  of  the  essentials, 
plans  and  specifications. 

29.  Last  Sunday,  in  our  classes,  we  considered  the  subject  of  Evan- 
gelism and  the  Bible,  and  we  are  glad  that  we  have  a  well-organized 
department  to  teach  the  Bible  and  to  help  evangelize  our  people.  Our 
individual  and  combined  co-operation  is  not  too  much  to  give  in  reaching 
the  thousands  who  are  unenlisted  and  unsaved.  Our  smooth-running 
organizations  do  not  give  reason  for  our  let-up  in  trying  to  reach  people 
through  our  Sunday  Schools.  Comparatively  recent  data  show  a  state 
membership  (Baptist)  of  not  quite  400,000,  but  on  the  other  hand, 
there  are  said  to  be  more  than  that  number  of  children  in  our  state 
who  cannot  be  reached  by  Sunday  Schools.  Let  us  be  thankful  for  the 
large  work  we  can  do  in  Christ's  name,  and  let  us  apply  ourselves  with 
ever-increasing  love  and  power  to  reaching  the  multitude  that  need  our 
Christ  and  His  teachings. 

Baptist  Training  Union 

30.  The  opportunity  that  is  presented  in  our  Baptist  Training  Unions 
is  so  great  that  every  effort  should  be  made  to  enrich  the  work  and 
widen  its  scope.  The  Sunday  Schools  teach  our  Christians  and  try  to 
bring  non-christians  to  a  saving  knowledge  of  Christ.  Is  the  work  of 
enlisting  and  training  our  church  members  any  less  important?  Al- 
though the  adult  unions  are  growing  the  majority  of  the  members  of 
B.  T.  U.  are  our  young  people,  and  they  need  this  very  training  to 
prepare  them  to  be  our  consecrated  and  informed  church  leadership  of 
the  future.  If  our  members  would  be  strong  in  the  grace  that  is  in 
Christ  Jesus,  they  must  have  more  than  a  speaking  acquaintance  with 
the  Bible,  faith,  prayer,  our  denominational  work  and  the  needs  of 
today.  Through  the  Baptist  Training  Unions,  the  members  learn  these 
essentials  by  participating  in  a  program  of  Christian  training  that 
cares  for  the  spiritual  and  social  needs  of  youth — whether  that  youth 
be  ten  years  old  or  fifty.  Only  one  or  two  over  half  our  thirty-two 
churches  in  Pee  Dee  Association  are  training  their  members  through 
our  training  agency.  We  pray  for  co-operation  on  the  part  of  our 
parents,  and  for  sincere  and  God-nourished  consecration  on  the  part  of 
all  leaders  and  members,  as  they  live  for  Jesus. 

31.  This  movement  is  going  to  fail  of  its  purpose  unless  we  keep 
it  en  a  consecrated  and  inspirational  basis,  and  unless  we  remember 
that  B.  T.  U.  is  a  part  of  the  church  that  trains  for  church  membership. 
If  we  go  to  B.  Y.  P.  U.  to  thus  train,  let  us  remember  to  put  our 
training  into  practice  in  the  church  work.  No  person  is  loyal  to  the 
purpose  of  B.  T.  U.  who  lets  it  interfere  with  his  church  services. 


20  One  Hundred  Twenty-first  Annual  Session 

RELIGIOUS  LITERATURE 

32.  The  official  organs  of  the  Sunday  School,  Baptist  Training  Union, 
Baptist  Student  Union — in  fact,  all  our  splendid  denominational  periodi- 
cals— are  worthy  of  mention  because  of  their  assistance  to  our  work. 
However,  only  our  state  papers,  the  BiMioal  Beoorder  and  Charity  and 
Children  will  be  discussed. 

33.  The  Biblical  Beoorder  is  our  able  official  paper,  and  through 
its  weekly  messages,  we  are  kept  in  touch  with  religious  affairs,  both 
local  and  at  large.  It  is  our  unifying  medium,  and  lets  the  right  hand 
know  what  the  left  is  doing,  so  that  there  may  be  informed  co-operation 
and  inspiration. 

34.  Charity  and  Children  is  the  organ  of  our  Baptist  Orphanage, 
and  has  a  circulation  of  27,800.  It  is  valuable,  not  only  because  of  its 
wealth  of  interesting  and  spiritual  news  for  Baptists,  but  because  it 
gives  valuable  training  to  many  of  the  orphanage  boys.  It  is  the  only 
department  that  makes  any  money  for  the  orphanage.  Let  us  pay  up 
our  subscriptions  and  get  these  papers  in  every  home. 

35.  When  Martin  Luther  threw  his  inkstand  at  the  devil,  he  showed 
us  what  we  should  be  doing  today.  The  inkstand  is  literature,  good  or 
bad,  according  to  the  one  doing  the  hurling.  The  devil  is  now  the 
pitcher  and  we  Christians  must  pitch  a  better  game  if  we  would  score 
our  hits.

Wake  Forest,  N.  C. 

The  Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  meeting  on  your 
Eightieth  Birthday  in  One  Hundred  Twenty-first  Annual 
Session  with  Spring  Hill  Church  would  greet  and  felicitate 
you  on  your  happy  birthday.  Your  strong'  life  influences 
and  guides  us  today.  Live  on  we  sincerely  pray.  With 
this  message  we  would  have  you  carry  to  Wake  Forest  our 
support,  gratitude  and  encouragement.

TUESDAY  AFTERNOON  SESSION 

43.  At  1:45  the  Association  re-convened  and  A.  E.  Brothers  led  in 
the  singing  of  "I  Am  Thine  O  Lord." 

44.  The  afternoon  devotion  was  led  by  Mrs.  W.  C.  Barrett,  Laurin-

24  One  Hundred  Twentt-fiest  Annual  Session 

T.  W.  Hearne,  Promotion  ChawTnan  in  the  Association 
presided  and  first  called  upon  the  Clerk  who  pointed  out 
from  a  blackboard  reproduced  on  the  preceding  page  the 
statistical  accomplishments  by  churches.  It  was  noted 
from  this  digest  of  church  letters  for  the  year  ending 
September  30,  1936  as  compared  with  the  period  ending 
September  30,  1935  a  certain  decline.  This  was  particu- 
larly true  in  baptisms  and  denominational  gifts;  whereas 
it  is  known  that  the  denominational  gifts  received  by  the 
State  Mission  Board  from  other  sections  are  consider- 
ably better.  A  new  resolve  was  entered  into  with  each 
church  aiming  to  greatly  increase  its  denominational  gifts. 

The  Association  rejoiced  however  in  the  accomplish- 
ment made  by  the  Wadesboro  church  under  the  leadership 
of  Pastor  W.  H.  Moore,  which  reported  $39,505.53  raised 
for  local  purposes,  thus  paying  the  church  debt  and  is 
enabling  them  to  complete  their  new  church  home  to  be 
dedicated  in  December,  1936. 

50.  With  Vice-Moderator  Benjamin  M.  Covington  presiding  a  dis- 
cussion  of  the  Associational   report  was   the   special   order. 

51.  Prior  to  the  discussion  of  Christian  Education  by  O.  W.  McManus, 
Gibson,  C.  B.  Deane  nominated  and  the  association  elected  Roland  S. 
Pruette  as  Trustee  of  "VVingate  Junior  College  for  a  three  year  term. 
The  clerk  explained  that  the  Pee  Dee  Association  was  associated  in  the 
ownership  and  control  of  Wingate  Junior  College,  along  with  the  Union, 
Mecklenburg  and  Cabarrus  Associations.  President  James  B.  Little 
made  a  report  to  the  body  and  following  his  report  he  called  upon  Dina 
Dominquez,  Paulina  Garcia  and  Hilda  Garcia  students  at  the  college 
from  Cuba  who  sang  in  their  native  tongue.  Continuing  B.  Y.  Tyner 
from  Meredith  College  and  G.  G.  Page,  Campbell  College  emphasized  in 
brief  speeches  the  importance  of  Christian  Education. 

52.  J.  Marvin  Smith,  Rockingham  next  discussed  State,  Home  and 
Foreign   Missions. 

53.  The  Orphanage  at  Mills  and  Kennedy  Homes  was  presented  by 
Representative  John  Arch  McMillan  who  was  introduced  by  Charles  E. 
Stevens,  Morven. 

54.  Brother  McMillan  in  the  absence  of  the  designated  speaker  spoke 
on  the  Baptist  Hospital. 

55.  C.  B.  Deane  having  previously  given  notice  introduced  a  resolu- 
tion that  would  change  the  time  for  the  election  of  the  Associational 
Offtcers.  Upon  motion  by  W.  H.  Moore  the  resolution  was  passed  as 
follows : 

Resolved  that  Article  3  be  amended  as  follows:  That 
after  the  word  'elected',  the  remainder  of  the  sentence  be 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  25 

eliminated  and  the  following  phrase  be  inserted:  "As  the 
last  item  of  business  and  just  prior  to  adjournm^ent,  and 
shall  continue  in  office  until  their  successors  are  elected." 

56.  A  Committee  appointed  in  1935  (See  Page  23,  section  53) 
brought  a  report  to  the  effect  that  the  Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  had 
little  if  any  legal  right  to  a  tract  of  land  near  the  Morven  Church.  The 
Committee  recommended  that  the  matter  be  dropped.  It  was  so  ordered 
and  the  Committee  discharged. 

57.  '* Accepting  the  Challenge"  was  the  theme  of  the  challenging 
message  delivered  by  W.  H.  Moore,  Wadesboro. 

58.  Benjamin  M.  Covington,  Wadesboro,  on  behalf  of  the  Association 
expressed  to  the  members  of  the  Spring  Hill  Churches  the  feelings  of 
gratitude  for  the  delightful  way  the  Association  had  been  entertained. 
This  expression  was  voiced  by  the  Association  by  standing  vote  upon 
the  second  of  A.  R.  Brothers. 

59.  '^We  Praise  Thee  O  God"  was  the  closing  song  led  by  George 
Wallace  and  thereafter  A.  R.  Brothers  prayed  and  the  One  Hundred 
Twenty-first  Annual  Session  of  the  Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  ad- 
journed at  4:30  P.M. 

Beuce  Benton,  Moderator, 
Charles  B.  Deane,  Cleric.

THE  ASSOCIATIONAL  REPORT 

THE  CO-OPERATIVE  PROGRAM 

11.  The  Co-operative  Program  was  adopted  by  Southern  Baptists  as 
the  best  plan  of  carrying  out  the  command  of  Jesus  to  give  the  Gospel 
to  a  lost  world.  It  discourages  supporting  one  phase  of  Kingdom  work 
to  the  neglect  of  the  whole.  In  order  for  the  plan  to  succeed,  every  state 
in  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  must  contribute  liberally  through 
this  plan  to  all  of  its  objects.  This  can  be  done  only  when  the  Associa- 
tions of  each  state  enlist  all  of  their  churches  in  co-operation  with  this 
program;  the  success  of  each  church  depends  upon  the  support  given  by 
its  members.  The  Co-operative  Program  is  an  effort  to  correlate  all  the 
work  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  into  one  budget,  thereby  en- 
abling every  member  of  all  our  churches  to  share  through  his  contribu- 
tions the  success  of  the  work  at  home  and  abroad.  In  order  to  accomplish 
this,  it  is  necessary  for  every  church  to  set  up  a  budget  as  a  goal  and 
put  on  yearly  an  intensive  every-member  canvass  to  secure  a  pledge 
from  each  member  for  some  definite  part  of  the  budget,  and  in  no  case 
should  this  pledge  be  for  less  than  the  tithe  of  the  member 's  income. 

MISSIONS 

12.  Missions  originated  in  the  heart  of  God.  It  is  His  eternal  plan 
for  the  redemption  of  a  lost  world  through  the  preaching  of  a  personal 
faith  in  His  Son  as  the  one  and  only  Savior,  who  atoned  through  His 
vicarious  suffering  on  the  cross  for  the  sins  of  all  people.  Therefore  God 
has  commanded  that  through  human  agencies  this  message  should  be 
proclaimed  to  all  the  world,  making  disciples  of  aU  nations. 

Dr.  W.  0.  Carver  says,  '  *  In  the  Bible,  we  find  the  missionary  thought 
in  God's  heart,  the  missionary  message  in  Christ's  atonement,  the  mis- 
sionary duty  in  our  Lord's  commands,  the  missionary  power  in  the  Holy 
Spirit,  whom  God  hath  given  to  them  that  obey  Him. ' ' 

State  Missions 

13.  Our  work  of  State  Missions  is  going  forward  under  the  capable 
direction  of  Mr.  M.  A.  Huggins,  Secretary  and  Treasurer  of  the  General 
Board,  ably  assisted  by  his  faithful  co-workers.  M.  0.  Alexander  and 
J.  C.  Pipes  are  general  missionaries  in  the  Department  of  Missions.  The 
Department  of  Christian  Education  is  under  the  direction  of  W.  Perry 
Crouch,  Secretary.  The  division  of  Sunday  School  is  directed  by  L.  L. 
Morgan,  Secretary.  The  division  of  the  Baptist  Training  Union  is  under 
the  direction  of  Nathan  C.  Brooks,  Secretary,  and  Miss  Mabel  Starnes, 
Associate  Secretary.  The  Department  of  Student  Activities  is  directed 
by  Miss  Cleo  Mitchell,  Secretary.  The  Department  of  Benevolence  is 
under  the  direction  of  E.  T.  Vann.  The  Baptist  Book  Store  is  under  the 
successful  management  of  Mrs.  Eoger  P.  Marshall. 

Under  the  Department  of  Missions  there  are  approximately  sixty- 
three  missionary  pastors  serving  133  churches.  These  workers  reported 


16  One  Hundred  Twenty-second  Annual  Session 

last  year  1,501  conversions,  889  baptisms,  and  687  additions  to  their 
churches  from  other  sources.  Missionaries  Alexander  and  Pipes  were 
busily  engaged  in  revivals  and  conducting  many  other  meetings  with 
special  groups  in  the  work  of  enlistment  and  promotion,  which  greatly 
strengthened  and  blessed  our  work. 

Under  the  Department  of  Sunday  Schools  the  work  has  been  faith- 
fully carried  on  by  Secretary  L.  L.  Morgan.  With  the  assistance  of  a 
large  number  of  special  workers,  he  has  held  numbers  of  Sunday  School 
revivals,  institutes  and  enlargement  campaigns  that  greatly  blessed  and 
encouraged  the  Sunday  School  work  and  workers. 

Under  the  division  of  the  Baptist  Training  Union,  Secretary  Nathan 
C.  Brooks  and  Miss  Mabel  Stames  have  greatly  stimulated  and  assisted 
the  Baptist  Training  Union  work  in  all  of  our  churches  through  their 
well  planned  programs  and  untiring  efforts. 

Under  the  division  of  Student  Activities  Miss  Cleo  Mitchell,  Student 
Secretary,  is  engaged  in  caring  for  the  spiritual  interests  of  our  Baptist 
r^'oung  People  in  colleges. 

The  Sunday  School,  Student  Activities,  and  Baptist  Training  Union 
are  under  the  supervision  of  the  Department  of  Christian  Education 
directed  by  W.  Perry  Crouch. 

Our  Board  is  gradually  liquidating  its  debts;  the  amount  owed  now 
is  largely  for  bonds  endorsed  for  educational  institutions.  The  Board 
has  announced  a  policy,  **No  borrowing  by  the  Convention,  or  any  of 
its  institutions,  or  agencies." 

Our  Board  has  endorsed  the  Hundred  Thousand  Club  and  is  promot- 
ing this  work  on  a  basis  of  a  division  of  fifty-fifty  between  the  Club 
and  the  Board,  the  Club  furnishing  the  literature  for  promotion,  and 
the  Board  paying  the  expense  of  the  collection.  This  arrangement  is 
strongly  commended  as  an  agency  to  supplement  funds  that  are  to  be 
used  only  in  the  payment  of  the  debts  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Conven- 
tion and  the  State  Mission  Board. 

Our  State  Mission  Board  promotes  interest  in  all  the  objects  of  the 
Co-operative  Program,  collects  funds  that  are  forwarded  to  the  Executive 
Committee,  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention,  which  makes  dis- 
tribution to  the  different  objects  according  to  the  percentage  allocated 
by  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention. 

Home  Missions 

14.  Our  Home  Mission  Board,  located  in  Atlanta,  Georgia,  under 
the  direction  of  J.  B.  Lawrence,  Executive  Secretary,  has  been  operating 
for  some  time  within  its  income,  and  is  gradually  paying  its  stupendous 
debt.  Progress  is  being  made  in  the  work  of  evangelism,  enlistment, 
stewardship  and  missions.  The  Board  is  ministering  to  the  spiritual 
needs  of  the  people  in  Cuba  and  Central  America,  in  this  country,  to  the 
foreigners,  the  Jews,  the  Negroes,  the  Indians,  and  the  people  of  the 
mountains.  Thirty-five  new  missionaries  have  been  located  in  new  fields 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  17 

of  service.  There  are  327  missionaries  and  850  stations.  A  great  harvest 
of  souls  is  gathered  into  the  Kingdom  each  year  through  the  ministry 
of  this  great  company  of  unselfish,  faithful  workers. 

Through  the  Building  and  Loan  Department,  many  new  church  build- 
ings have  been  erected  and  old  ones  improved. 

Foreign  Missions 

15.  Our  Foreign  Mission  Board  is  located  in  Richmond,  Virginia.  Dr. 
Cfharles  E.  Maddry  is  Etxecutive  Secretary.  No  man  in  modern  times  has 
been  called  upon  to  carry  greater  burdens  or  bear  greater  heart  strain 
than  Dr.  Maddry.  The  terrible  war  now  raging  between  Japan  and  China 
makes  it  very  difficult  for  our  missionaries  in  Japan  to  carry  forward 
their  work  successfully,  with  the  general  impression  prevailing  that  the 
sympathy  of  America  is  with  China;  and  the  fierce  battles  in  China 
have  destroyed  much  of  our  property  and  so  endangered  the  lives  of 
our  missionaries  that  it  has  been  found  necessary,  according  to  the  re- 
quest of  Secretary  of  State  Cordell  Hull,  to  remove  them  from  the  dan- 
ger zone,  and  if  possible,  from  China.  It  may  be  necessary  for  our 
Board  to  return  all  missionaries  from  China.  These  conditions  have 
created  a  necessity  for  an  additional  large  sum  of  money.  Unless  our 
churches  respond  quickly  and  generously  to  the  appeal  of  our  Foreign 
Mission  Board,  it  will  be  necessary  to  greatly  increase  the  Board's  debt 
that  has  been  so  rapidly  reduced.  On  January  1,  1933,  the  Foreign  Mis- 
sion Board  debt  was  $1,110,000.  On  May  1  this  year  it  had  been  re- 
duced to  $367,500,  the  interest  on  same  reduced  from  six  to  four  per  cent. 

We  strongly  urge  every  church  in  our  Association  that  has  not  al- 
ready done  so,  to  immediately  take  the  largest  offering  it  is  possible  to 
secure  and  forward  at  once,  directly  to  the  Foreign  Mission  Board, 
Southern  Baptist  Convention,  Richmond,  Virginia. 

The  final  request  of  our  Lord  was  that  His  followers  should  carry 
the  Gospel  into  all  the  world,  that  all  nations  should  become  His  dis- 
ciples. The  missionaries  of  this  Board  have  carried  the  Gospel  message 
to  fifteen  foreign  countries  where  it  has  proved  to  be  the  power  of  God 
unto  salvation,  in  the  conversion  of  thousands  of  lost  souls,  numbers  of 
whom  having  become  special  workers  in  the  Kingdom,  have  led  in  or- 
ganizing many  churches,  and  in  the  building  of  many  houses  of  worship. 

Our  Foreign  Mission  work  consists  of  evangelism,  education  and  heal- 
ing. We  have  many  natives  preaching  the  Gospel  in  the  different  lands 
where  our  work  is  located,  a  number  of  schools,  seminaries  and  publish- 
ing houses.  We  have  some  well  equipped  hospitals  that  are  reaching 
many  souls  through  successful  ministry  to  their  sick  and  suffering  bodies. 

CHRISTIAN  EDUCATION 

16.  The  Baptists  of  North  Carolina  are  well  equipped  for  the  work 
of  Christian  Education  in  the  fullest  and  highest  sense.  Wake  Forest, 
Meredith,  Chowan,  Mars  Hill,  Campbell,  and  the  college  of  our  own, 


18  One  Hundred  Twenty-seoond  Annual  Session 

Wingate,  are  under  the  direction  of  as  capable,  consecrated  teachers 
as  can  be  found  in  any  institutions.  They  have  contributed  to  the  pro- 
duction of  as  fine  Christian  men  and  women  as  hare  ever  blessed  this 
world.  The  real  task  of  our  educational  institutions  is  to  make  and  keep 
the  students  genuinely  Christian  in  all  their  ways  in  life,  promoting  infor- 
mation and  spiritual  co-operation  in  service  to  God  and  man.  All  of  our 
colleges  are  overflowing  this  year  with  students  who  are  eager  to  prepare 
themselves  for  the  highest  efficiency  in  Christian  living.  Mrs.  John  Lane 
has  said,  ''Christianity  exalts  reverent  scholarship."  Eeverent  scholar- 
ship always  seeks  to  know  the  will  of  God  and  how  to  perform  it.  Our 
Baptist  colleges  keenly  feel  their  responsibility  to  inculcate  in  their  stu- 
dents worthy  attitudes  toward  God  and  Man. 

Southern  Baptists  through  the  support  of  the  Sunday  School  Board 
at  Nashville,  Tennessee,  under  the  management  of  Perry  Morgan,  have 
a  great  educational  institution  in  the  Baptist  Assembly  located  at  Ridge- 
crest,  North  Carolina.  Each  year  thousands  of  boys  and  girls,  young 
men  and  women  and  those  of  more  mature  life  receive  religious  instruc- 
tion and  inspiration  at  this  beautiful  place  of  rest  and  recreation. 

BENEVOLENCES 

Orphanage 

17.  The  orphanage  work  has  a  great  appeal  to  the  hearts  of  North 
Carolina  Baptists;  therefore  we  have  under  the  direction  of  I.  G.  Greer, 
the  general  superintendent,  two  as  fine  institutions  doing  as  efficient 
work  for  orphan  children  as  can  be  found  in  the  world.  The  larger,  the 
parent  institution,  Mills  Home,  is  located  in  Thomasville,  under  the 
personal  direction  of  Mr.  Greer,  and  Kennedy  Home,  located  at  Kinston, 
North  Carolina,  under  the  supervision  of  J.  C.  Hough.  Both  institutions 
are  well  equipped  for  doing  most  satisfactory  work  in  educating^  train- 
ing, and  caring  for  our  children.  A  deep  spiritual  atmosphere  permeates 
all  the  activities  and  life  in  our  orphanage  institution.  Consecrated  men 
and  womBn  ably  care  for  this  glorious  work  entrusted  to  them  by  our 
Lord  and  Savior. 

The  health  of  our  children  is  unusually  good.  The  results  of  all  our 
work  is  very  satisfactory.  Besides  the  hundreds  who  are  cared  for  at 
Mills  and  Kennedy  Homes  great  numbers  are  helped  through  the  Moth- 
er's Aid,  making  it  possible  for  them  to  remain  under  the  influence  of 
their  mother's  ministry. 

These  children  of  ours  receive  no  support  from  the  churches  except 
the  annual  Thanksgiving  offerings  and  the  once-a-month  contributions 
from  our  Sunday  Schools.  Last  year  in  this  Association  there  were  four 
churches  that  gave  nothing  at  all  to  this  cause.  The  total  gifts  from  the 
churches  and  Sunday  Schools  of  the  Pee  Dee  Association  was  only 
$1,836.02.  Surely  every  church  and  Sunday  School  if  it  be  ever  so  small 
will  have  a  part  in  this  glorious  work.  Let  us  pray  for  and  give  to  this 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  19 

institution  in  a  way  that  we  will  rejoice  when  we  hear  our  Savior  say, 
*'In  as  much  as  you  have  done  it  unto  one  of  the  least  of  these,  you 
have  done  it  unto  me. ' ' 

Hospital 

18.  Jesus  went  about  healing  all  manner  of  sickness  and  disease  as 
well  as  forgiving  sins  and  saving  souls.  By  relieving  suffering  humanity 
of  their  physical  ailments,  He  was  able  to  draw  them  unto  Himself. 

Our  Baptist  Hospital  in  Winston-Salem  is  undertaking  in  the  name 
of  Christ  to  cure  people,  relieving  them  of  suffering  and  prolonging  life 
for  the  glory  of  our  Lord.  No  doubt,  many  fathers  have  been  spared  by 
the  ministry  of  this  blessed  institution  to  support  their  families  and  to 
live  for  the  glory  of  God.  Many  a  precious  mother  has  been  carried 
helpless  and  almost  hopeless  to  that  good  hospital  of  ours.  After  God 
so  graciously  ministered  to  her  needs  through  the  unsurpassed  doctors, 
surgeons,  and  nurses,  who  so  faithfully  serve  there,  she  was  enabled  to 
return  to  her  home  restored  in  health  to  care  for  her  children. 

The  only  means  of  support  that  the  hospital  receives  from  the 
churches  is  the  offering  made  each  year  on  Mothers'  Day.  Every  church 
and  Sunday  School  should  make  a  generous  offering  to  this  work  so  dear 
to  the  heart  of  our  Savior.  The  work  promises  great  opportunity  and  de- 
serves larger  support. 

The  Relief  and  Annuity  Board 

19.  The  Relief  and  Annuity  Board  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Conven- 
tion, located  at  Dallas,  Texas,  under  the  able  administration  of  Dr. 
Thomas  J.  Watts,  Executive  Secretary,  is  making  a  very  sincere  effort 
to  enlist  all  of  our  pastors  and  churches  in  a  plan  whereby  the  church 
pays  each  month  three  per  cent  of  the  pastor's  salary  and  the  pastor 
pays  three  per  cent  of  his  salary,  creating  a  fund  that  will  be  paid  to 
the  preacher  in  monthly  installments  beginning  at  the  retirement  age  of 
sixty-five  in  amounts,  according  to  what  the  church  and  the  preacher 
have  paid  into  the  annuity  fund  which  is  based  upon  the  amount  of 
the  average  salary  that  the  minister  has  received. 

If  the  minister  finds  it  necessary  to  discontinue  his  payments  into  the 
fund,  he  is  entitled  to  withdraw  what  he  has  paid  in  -^vith  the  accumu- 
lated interest.  Not  only  does  the  minister  receive  payments  from  the 
fund  during  his  life  after  retirement,  but  his  widow  and  children  ben- 
efit therefrom  after  his  death. 

RELIGIOUS  LITERATURE 

20.  The  Biblical  Eecorder  is  our  only  official  source  of  information 
concerning  the  work  of  North  Carolina  Baptists.  The  limited  number 
of  subscriptions  to  the  Eecorder  from  our  Association  is  a  reflection  on 
our  interest  in  the  work  of  the  Kingdom  committed  to  us.  The  Bitlical 


20  One  Hundred  Twenty-second  Annual  Session 

Recorder  gives  to  us  each  week  reports  of  the  work  of  the  Sunday 
Schools,  Baptist  Training  Union,  Woman's  Missionary  Society,  and  the 
work  of  the  churches  in  general  besides  many  devotional,  educational, 
and  inspirational  articles  concerning  our  Southern  activities  and  Baptist 
achievements  throughout  the  world. 

We  earnestly  urge  that  every  Baptist  home  receive  and  read  the 
Biblical  Recorder  and  Charity  and  Children,  the  official  paper  of  our 
orphanage  published  at  Thomasville. 

Eespectfully  submitted, 

W.  H.  Moore.

these  remarks  from  Mrs.  Barrett  upon  motion  by  Charles  B.  Deane,  Rock- 
ingham. 

22.  A  discussion  followed  upon  the  Biblical  Recorder,  led  by  J.  M.

tions reported  that  the  Committee  was  divided  with  reference  to  the  re- 
ceiving of  The  Community  Church  in  East  Eockingham.  After  a  full  dis-

ing all  phases  of  the  Denominational  Program  and  thereafter  adopted 
upon  the  motion  of  W.  H.  Moore. 

ASSOCIATIONAL  REPORT 

14.  The  Co-operative  Program 

Co-operation  is  a  word  conveying  a  principle  taught  and  cherished 
by  Baptists  from  the  very  beginning  of  Baptist  operations.  Mentally 
we  have  accepted  it;  practically  we  have  abused  it.  Prom  the  indi- 
vidual church  on  out  to  the  furthest  reaches  of  our  denominational 
organization  and  program,  we  have  been  convinced  of  the  imperative 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  15 

need  of  co-operation.  We  have  grouped  ourselves  into  churches,  as- 
sociations and  conventions  for  the  purpose  of  working  together  and 
advancing  more  effectively  Kingdom  interests.  Our  advance  has,  in 
large  measure,  been  in  proportion  to  our  co-operation. 

In  order  to  provide  necessary  funds  with  which  to  carry  on  our 
Missionary,  Educational  and  Benevolent  enterprises,  Southern  Baptists 
have  adopted  the  budget  method  of  financing,  or,  what  they  are  pleased 
to  call,  ^'The  Co-operative  Program."  Through  this  plan  every  agency 
receives  its  pro  rata  of  all  the  undesignated  funds  committed  to  our 
Secretaries  for  distribution. 

15.  State  Missions 

It  is  a  fact  no  longer  challenged  that  State  Missions  ever  has  been, 
is  today,  and  must  ever  be  the  base  of  supply  in  all  our  denominational 
work.  "We  have  but  to  study  its  claims  and  to  know  its  history  to 
see  that  it  is  indispensable  to  the  work  of  the  Kingdom.  To  know 
the  history  of  State  Missions  in  North  Carolina  is  to  marvel  at  its 
progress.  We  are  proud,  and  justly  so,  of  our  Mission  record  but  we 
must  not  forget  that  there  is  yet  much  land  to  be  possessed  for  God. 
Into  our  borders  comes  an  ever  increasing  flow  of  immigrants,  some 
without  the  truth,  and  others  with  false  conceptions  of  the  truth,  either 
of  which  is  perilous  and  detrimental  to  the  cause  of  Christ.  We 
must  meet  these  conditions  with  the  whole  truth.  When  we  are  loyal 
to  State  Missions,  as  an  organized  system,  we  are  loyal  to  the  eternal 
principles  of  the  Kingdom. 

For  more  than  a  century  the  objective  of  State  Missions  has  been 
to  win  the  people  of  North  Carolina  to  Christ  and  then  to  the  fellow- 
ship and  service  which  the  churches  provide.  Its  effort  has  been 
first  of  aU,  to  win  the  heart  to  Christ,  and  from  a  surrendered  heart, 
will  come  service,  means  and  all  that  is  high  and  worth  while. 

State  Missions  reports  itself  in  Missionary  Pastoral  Assistance, 
Teaching  and  Training,  Church  Building,  Work  Among  Students  in 
the  Colleges,  Hospitals  and  Sanatoriums,  work  with  Negroes  and  In- 
dians, etc. 

A  major  emphasis  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  and  of  our 
State  Mission  program  during  1939  is  to  be  evangelism.  Let  us  as 
churches  and  individuals  give  ourselves  whole-heartedly  to  this  much- 
needed  and  worthy  program. 

16.  Home  Missions 

At  the  base  of  all  our  Foreign  Mission  work  lies  the  prosperity  of 
our  work  at  home.  The  louder  and  more  impelling  the  call  from 
abroad,  the  greater  is  the  necessity  for  an  adequate  base  of  supplies 
at  home.  If  Home  Missions  meant  only  the  evangelization  of  America 
it  would  be  worth  while,  but  the  evangelization  of  the  world  depends 
in    a    large    measure    upon    America,    and    never    before    in    American 


16  One  Hundred  Twenty-third  Annual  Session 

history  have  there  been  such  insidious  attacks  upon  true  Christianity 
as  there  are  today:  Christian  Science,  Russellism,  Mormonism,  Uni- 
tarianism,  etc.  are  being  spread  abroad  through  our  land. 

The  Home  Mission  Board  is  lifting  up  Christ  in  the  homeland 
among  the  Indians,  the  Negroes,  the  under -privileged  in  the  cities  and 
congested  industrial  sections,  and  in  Cuba  and  Panama.  In  all  its 
departments  of  work,  the  Board  has  327  missionaries  working  in  850 
mission  stations.  During  the  past  convention  year  we  have  placed  in 
the  field  35  missionaries  and  have  opened  36  new  mission  stations. 
We  have  done  a  notably  fine  work  among  the  Jews,  under  the  leader- 
ship of  Rev.  Jacob  Gartenhaus.  The  re-established  department  of 
evangelism  under  the  direction  of  Dr.  Eoland  Q.  Leavell  is  doing  much 
to  quicken  the  fires  of  evangelism  throughout  the  South. 

The  Board  has  endeavored  faithfully  to  perform  its  stewardship  by 
pushing  the  mission  work,  and  at  the  same  time  handling  its  finances 
so  as  to  retire  the  indebtedness.  Through  the  gifts  of  the  Hundred 
Thousand  Club,  wise  economy  and  painstaking  efforts  on  the  part  of 
the  Board,  an  appreciable  amount  has  been  paid  each  year  on  its  debts. 

Twenty-two  million  souls  out  of  Christ  here  in  the  homeland  cry 
out  to  us  for  the  bread  of  life.  Is  not  this  alone  enough  to  make  us 
lift  up  our  eyes  and  look  upon  the  fields  that  are  white  unto  harvest? 

17.  Foreign  Missions 

Love  to  God  and  compassion  for  men  are  the  motives  that  will 
create  within  us  an  interest  in  Foreign  Missions.  There  is  perhaps 
no  other  part  of  our  work  in  which  is  to  be  found  so  much  of  the 
spirit  of  our  Master.  There  is  no  better  index  to  the  spiritual  condi- 
tion of  a  church  than  the  interests  she  has  in  a  lost  world.  Foreign 
Missions  reaches  to  the  ends  of  the  earth  with  its  message  of  salvation. 

In  ninety-three  years  the  Foreign  Mission  Board  has  not  seen  more 
troublous  times.  The  whole  world  is  its  field  of  service  and  almost 
the  world  around  war  clouds  are  hovering  with  depressing  and  menac- 
ing effect.  Most  of  our  mission  property  in  the  Central,  interior  and 
North  China  Missions  is  now  in  the  hands  of  the  Japanese  military 
authorities,  and  our  missionaries  are  not  even  allowed  to  inspect  the 
property  and  ascertain  the  extent  of  the  damage.  Many  of  the  mis- 
sionaries have  lost  all  of  their  personal  effects,  household  goods,  cloth- 
ing, books  and  all  of  those  intimate  personal  accumulations  of  a  life- 
time. It  is  estimated  that  at  least  fifty  missionaries  have  lost  an 
average  of  $1000  each  in  personal  belongings.  In  spite  of  such  losses, 
dangers  and  trials,  these  missionaries  of  the  Cross  carry  on,  smiling 
through  their  tears. 

Their  spirit  is  a  challenge  to  us  in  the  homeland. 

For  the  calendar  year  1937,  the  Board  received  for  its  work  from 
all   sources   the   sum  total  of   $1,077,996.34.     Our   debt  now  stands   at 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  17 

$316,000.  Within  the  past  five  years  we  have  paid  on  the  principal  of 
our  debt  $771,510.  The  Board  has  lived  within  its  income  and  has 
not  borrowed  any  money  in  five  years. 

Statistics  offer  the  following  report:  number  of  Baptisms,  14,027; 
total  native  membership,  208,794;  total  contributions  by  native 
churches,  $370,638;  total  native  churches,  1,802;  total  number  self- 
supporting  churches,   986. 

18.  Christian  Education 

Man  is  differentiated  from  other  animals  in  that  he  has  greater 
capacity  for  education.  This  superior  capacity  gives  him  supremacy 
over  the  lower  animals.  There  is  an  education  however,  that  makes 
man  more  dangerous  than  the  untrained  and  untaught  animal.  The 
education  that  fails  to  give  character  and  principle  the  supremacy 
over  knowledge  and  that  makes  other  than  Christ  its  center  is  worse 
than  ignorance.  The  education  that  cultivates  and  trains  the  brain 
but  neglects  the  heart  is  worse  than  illiteracy.  To  meet  and  conquer 
the  complex  situation  surrounding  us  today,  we  must  have  an  educated 
citizenship,  a  citizenship  educated  in  the  highest  sense  of  the  term. 
If  we  as  a  denomination  are  to  advance  or  even  hold  our  own  we  must 
give  Christian  Education  its  place. 

Wake  Forest  College  with  its  consecrated  professorship  and  its 
amiable  record  is  to  us  an  object  of  pride.  Her  scholarship,  her  spirit 
and  her  efficiency  give  her  a  high  place  among  the  great  Colleges  of 
the  South.  Meredith  is  doing  for  our  girls  what  Wake  Forest  is  doing 
for  our  boys.  Chowan,  Campbell  and  Mars  Hill  are  the  Junior  Colleges 
under  Baptist  control  and  ownership  while  Wingate  and  Boiling  Springs 
are  doing  a  most  excellent  work  in  the  Junior  College  field,  though  not 
now  owned  by  the  State  Convention. 

We  have  demanded  of  these  colleges  that  they  give  our  children 
Christian  Education  and  they  have  not  betrayed  the  trust.  And  now 
upon  us  they  assert  their  claims;  claims  that  are  not  unjust.  They 
ask  of  us  our  patronage,  our  prayers,  our  moral  and  financial  support. 
Upon  us  more  than  upon  them  depends  the  future  of  these  colleges. 

19.  Hundred  Thousand  Club 

The  Hundred  Thousand  Club  is  steadily  gaining  ground  and  favor 
among  Baptists  of  North  Carolina  and  the  South.  Slowly  but  surely 
our  debts  are  being  paid.  If  we  had  the  full  one  hundred  thousand 
members  each  paying  his  dollar  every  month  we  would  soon  have  a 
debtless  denomination.  Up  to  May  1,  1938  the  sum  of  $843,051.17  had 
been  received  in  the  Nashville  office  from  this  Club  and  every  penny 
of  it  has  been  paid  on  the  principal  of  the  debts  of  the  southwide 
agencies.  $33,107.60  came  from  North  Carolina.  (Since  the  division  of 
Club  receipts  beginning  July,  1937,  $7,384.73  has  been  kept  in  the 
state.) 


18  One  Hundred  Twenty-third  Annual  Session 

This  effort  has  stopped  over  $50,000  in  annual  interest,  strengthened 
the  morale  of  our  people,  re-established  our  credit,  encouraged  all  of 
our  agencies  and  has  reduced  our  southwide  debts  from  six  million 
dollars  to  less  than  three  and  one  half.  Surely  it  deserves  the  hearty 
support  of  all  our  people. 

20.  Biblical  Recorder 

Our  people  need  to  learn  that  the  Recorder  is  not  a  liability  but 
an  asset.  Every  department  of  our  denominational  work  depends 
largely  for  its  success  upon  the  Eeoorder.  If  this  paper  were  to  sus- 
pend publication  and  no  other  medium  of  communication  established 
to  take  its  place,  the  effect  upon  all  our  denominational  work  would 
be  disastrous. 

The  paper  sustained  a  severe  loss  in  the  recent  home-going  of 
Brother  J.  S.  Farmer  who  for  long  years  served  in  the  capacity  of 
business  manager  and  later  as  editor.  In  both  these  capacities  he  did 
a  notably  fine  work.  With  brethren  E..  A.  Dunn  and  E.  F.  Terrell  as 
business  and  circulation  managers  respectively  and  Dr.  G.  W.  Paschal, 
contributing  editor,  the  work  has  been  carried  upon  its  high  plane  of 
efficiency  and  usefulness  since  the  death  of  Brother  Farmer.

21.  The  Orphanage 

There  is  no  institution  nearer  and  dearer  to  North  Carolina  Bap- 
tists than  our  Orphanage.  It  operates  two  homes,  the  Mills  Home  at 
Thomasville  and  the  Kennedy  Home  at  Kinston.  The  purpose  of  this 
institution  as  provided  in  the  charter,  is,  ''to  prepare  poor  and  promis- 
ing orphans  for  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  life." 

The  health  record  is  unparalleled.  Out  of  the  large  family  in  the 
two  homes  only  one  child  has  died  in  over  six  years.  This  health 
record  is  attributed  largely  to  the  fact  that  the  children  are  fed  well 
and  that  they  eat  and  sleep  regularly.  They  work,  play,  study  and 
sleep  under  proper  supervision.  Their  educational  advantages  com- 
pare favorably  with  those  offered  by  other  schools  of  the  state.  The 
Mills  Home  is  a  unit  in  the  Thomasville  graded  system  while  the 
Kennedy  Home  children  attend  the  La  Grange  school  where  they  have 
the  same  privileges  as  other  children  of  the  community. 

"Charity  and  Children,"  as  its  organ,  is  the  right  hand  of  the  in- 
stitution. The  circulation  of  the  paper  is  now  27,870.  Through  the 
printing  and  job  department  the  boys  are  given  some  valuable  training. 

The  expense  bill  of  the  Orphanage  averages  upwards  of  $450  per 
day.  If  all  the  churches  of  the  state  would  adopt,  as  many  have,  the 
once  a  month  Sunday  School  and  Thanksgiving  collection  the  expenses 
would  be  easily  cared  for  and  the  Orphanage  could  go  forward  with 
a  much  enlarged  program  of  service.  What  shall  the  future  of  this 
great  institution  be?     North  Carolina  Baptists  have  the  answer.

22.  The  Hospital 

The  North  Carolina  Baptist  Hospital  at  Winston- Salem  has  for 
some  fifteen  years  been  doing  a  fine  social  service  as  a  denominational 
agency.  Its  beds  are  occupied  at  all  times,  and  there  is  pressing  need 
for  additional  capacity.  Its  modern  equipment,  its  excellent  medical 
and  nursing  staff,  operating  always  under  a  spirit  of  prayer  and 
earnestness,  account  for  its  remarkably  low  death  rate.  Its  ministry 
of  healing  reaches  throughout  and  far  beyond  the  bounds  of  our  state. 
Receipts  from  the  Co-operative  Program,  Duke  Foundation  and  the 
Mothers'  Day  offering  of  the  Sunday  schools  are  its  means  of  support. 

23.  Old  Ministers'  Relief  and  Annuity 

The  Relief  and  Annuity  Board  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention 
has  just  completed  its  twentieth  year  of  service.  It  has  rendered  a 
great  service  during  these  years  but  Baptists  have  been  all  too  slow 
in  realizing  the  plight  and  meeting  the  needs  of  her  worn-out  preachers. 
We  have  not  kept  step  with  the  other  leading  denominations  of  the 
South  in  providing  food,  clothing  and  shelter  for  thousands  of  minis- 
ters who  have  grown  old  in  the  service  of  Christ  and  for  the  widows 
of  ministers  who  have  gone  to  their  Heavenly  reward. 

The  Relief  and  Annuity  Board  is  asking  that  the  churches  take  at 
least  one  Fellowship  Offering  in  connection  with  the  observance  of 
the  Lord's  Supper  each  year  and  send  it  through  the  State  Secretary- 
Treasurer  to  be  used  for  these  aged  and  dependent  veterans.  A  grow- 
ing number  of  our  churches  are  following  this  plan  but  the  great 
majority  have  neglected  it. 

24.  Training  Activities 

For  some  years  there  has  been  a  conviction  on  the  part  of  many  of 
our  most  interested  w^orkers  that  we  were  about  to  have  too  many 
organizations  and  a  consequent  overlapping  of  activities.  In  an 
effort  to  correct  this  possible  danger  the  General  Board  recommended 
to  the  Baptist  State  Convention  and  the  recommendation  was  accepted, 
that  we  co-ordinate  several  of  these  separate  divisions  of  our  work  and 
bring  them  under  the  supervision  of  one  individual.  We  are  trying 
now  to  think  of  Christian  Education  as  one  great  task  and  under  the 
fine  leadership  of  Brother  Perry  Crouch  we  feel  that  we  are  going  in 
the  right  direction.  For  more  than  a  year  he  has  been  directing 
this  new  set-up  and  has  shown  an  unusual  grasp  of  the  problems  in- 
volved. Coming  under  his  supervision  is  the  work  of  the  Sunday  School, 
the  B.  T.  U.,  the  B.  S.  U.  and  Brotherhood. 

The  Sunday  School  Division  has  been  in  charge  of  Mr.  L.  L.  Mor- 
gan. He  has  demonstrated  his  ability  as  a  Sunday  School  leader  and 
his  wisdom  and  tireless  effort  have  given  him  a  high  place  among  the 
Sunday  workers  of  the  South.  This  department  has  been  greatly 
strengthened  by  the  addition  of  Mr.  and  Mrs.  J.  B.  Lane  as  Field 
Workers. 


20  One  Hundred  Twenty-third  Annual  Session 

The  Division  of  the  Baptist  Training  Union  is  in  charge  of  Nathan 
C.  Brooks,  Jr.  as  Secretary.  With  the  assistance  of  Miss  Mabel  Starnes 
as  Field  Worker,  Mr.  Brooks  will  do  a  great  service  in  this  field. 

A  definite  program  of  work  has  been  begun  among  the  men  and 
students.  Many  Assoiational  Men's  Meetings  have  been  held  during 
the  year  w^hich  have  apparently  brought  renewed  interest  on  the  part 
of  our  men  in  Kingdom  Work. 

With  gratitude  to  God  for  the  success  and  blessings  of  the  past 
years  and  with  a  keen  consciousness  of  the  responsibility  that  is  ours 
in  doing  well  the  tasks  that  lie  ahead,  may  we  in  the  light  of  his 
command,  carry  on  until  the  work  is  finished. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

J.  B.  Willis. 

25.  In  the  absence  of  Mrs.  W.  C.  Barrett,  Laurinburg,  Superin- 
tendent of  the  Associational  Women's  Missionary  Society,  the  splendid 
report  on  the  work  of  the  women  was  read  by  Aubrey  L.  Tomlinson, 
Laurinburg,  and  thereafter  accepted. 

REPORT  OF  WOMEN'S  MISSIONARY  UNION 

In  the  true  spirit  of  our  W.  M.  U.  Watchword,  *' Laborers  To- 
gether With  G-od, "  the  women  of  the  Missionary  Union  of  the  Pee 
Dee  Association  have  worked  together  to  build  up  the  kingdom  of 
Jesus  Christ  not  only  here  but  to  the  utmost  ends  of  the  earth. 

It  has  always  been  the  aim  of  our  organization  to  instill  missionary- 
ideals  and  purposes  in  the  hearts  of  the  women,  ideals  which  will  find 
outward  expression  in  definite  and  prayerful  service.  With  this  purpose 
always  in  mind  the  women  have  worked  along  the  lines  of  organization, 
enlistment,  prayer,  gifts,  stewardship,  Mission  Study  and  work  among 
young  people. 

There  have  been  13  Junior  Societies  organized  during  the  year  and 
6  Women's  Missionary  Societies,  making  a  total  of  19  new  organiza- 
tions. For  these  organizations,  we  bespeak  the  sympathetic  encourage- 
ment, the  interest  and  help  of  the  pastors. 

The  financial  record  for  the  year  has  been  most  encouraging,  $4,- 
907.69  having  been  contributed  to  all  objects.  This  is  a  substantial 
increase  in  gifts  over  last  year. 

In  March,  our  Annual  Meeting  was  held  in  the  Baptist  Church 
of  Hamlet.  The  attendance  was  unusually  large,  the  program  construc- 
tive and  interesting  and  the  spirit  very  deeply  earnest  and  co-operative. 

In  July,  our  Young  People  held  an  all-day  rally  in  the  EUerbe 
Baptist  Church.  A  large  group  of  young  people  was  present.  Among 
the  interesting  speakers  was  Mr.  C.  K.  D'jang,  of  Shanghai,  China, 
a  student  at  Wake  Forest  College.  This  meeting  was  under  the  di- 
rection of  Miss  Hattie  Marks,  of  Rockingham,  Associational  Young 
People's  Director. 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  21 

In  conjunction  with  Stanly,  Union  and  Montgomery  Associations, 
the  women  of  the  Pee  Dee  Association  held  a  Mission  Study  Institute 
in  Wadesboro  in  April.  This  institute  proved  very  helpful  in  promot- 
ing the  cause  of  Mission  Study. 

Our  women  took  a  very  definite  step  forward  in  the  training  of 
our  Young  People  when  they  secured  a  cottage  at  Ridgecrest  for  the 
duration  of  the  Southwide  Y.  W.  A.  Camp,  this  cottage  to  be  occupied 
by  representatives  from  our  Young  People's  Organizations.  Fourteen 
of  our  young  people  and  counselors  enjoyed  the  wonderful  fellowship 
and  spiritual  enrichment  of  this  great  encampment. 

Our  women  have  entered  heartily  into  all  plans  for  our  great  Golden 
Jubilee   Celebration   during   1938. 

We  are  humbly  grateful  unto  God  for  what  has  been  accomplished 
and  as  we  go  forward  in  His  service,  we  ask  your  prayers,  your  interest 
and   your    support.

ASSOCIATIONAL  REPORT 

13.  The  Co-operative  Program 

Southern  Baptists  have  never  found  a  better  plan  by  which  to  carry 
on  their  conventional  work  than  by  the  Co-operative  Program. 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  15 

Its  value: 

1.  It  enables  me  to  carry  out  my  part  of  Christ 's  Program  of  service, 
benevolent,  educational,  and  missionary, 

2.  It  enables  me  to  have  a  part  in  all  that  is  being  done. 

3.  It  enables  me  to  have  some  part  in  the  whole  work  of  Christ 
each  and  every  week  of  the  year. 

4.  It  enables  me  to  help  do  all  that  needs  to  be  done  because  it  in- 
cludes every  sort  of  service  that  anybody  might  wish  to  render. 
It  is  the  only  program  in  the  world  that  is  inclusive  of  every 
human  need. 

5.  It  enables  me  to  carry  out  God's  financial  program  for  His  King- 
dom. 

6.  The  Co-operative  Program  does  not  leave  the  causes  of  Christ  to 
become  the  victims  of  temporary  weather  conditions,  depressions 
in  business  or  other  hindering  causes.  It  is  the  soundest,  safest, 
surest,  most  successful  and  most  scriptural  method  we  have  ever 
found  for  carrying  out  Christ's  will  in  the  world. 

14.  Recommendations 

1.  That  we  approve  the  Co-operative  Program,  and  pray  God^s  bless- 
ings upon  this  effort  to  support  all  the  causes  of  our  denomination 
in  a  worthy  way. 

2.  That  aU  churches  put  on  a  campaign  in  the  interest  of  both  local 
expenses  and  the  Co-operative  Program. 

3.  That  all  Co-operative  Program  receipts  and  other  denominational 
funds  be  remitted  promptly  each  month  to  Mr.  M.  A.  Huggins, 
Treasurer,  Biblical  Eecorder  Building,  Raleigh,  N.  C. 

15.  Report  of  Missions 

The  Spirit  of  Missions  is  the  heart  of  the  Great  Commission  spiri- 
tualized. The  doing  of  mission  work  and  the  carrying  forward  of  a 
great  missionary  enterprise  is  the  plan  of  the  Great  Commission  put  in 
operation.  Our  missionary  endeavors  are  the  answer  of  Southern  Bap- 
tists to  the  call  of  the  Great  Commission.  Our  mission  work  is  divided 
into  three  rather  natural  divisions — State,  Home,  and  Foreign. 

16.  State  Missions 

We  understand  State  Missions  to  be  a  missionary  enterprise  having 
to  do  with,  and  being  confined  within  limits  of,  our  State.  This  State 
work  has  several  departments,  such  as  assisting  weak  churches  to  sup- 
port pastors,  assisting  in  building  houses  of  worship  where  such  help  is 
required,  developing  country  pastorates,  evangelism,  and  in  Indoctrina- 
tion and  Enlistment.  Surely  we  should  be  interested  in  the  matter  of 
indoctrinating  our  people  when  so  many  are  led  away  by  false  and 
foolish  doctrines  and  isms,   and  in  enlistment,  owing  to  the   alarming 


16  One  Hundred  TwENTY-rouRTH  Annual  Session 

fact  that  more  than  half   of  our  church  members   never   contribute   a 
penny  a  year  for  missionary,  educational,  and  benevolent  objectives. 

17.  Report  on  Home  Missions 

The  old  frontiers  of  Home  Missions  have  passed  and  new  frontiers 
have  taken  their  place.  The  rapidly  developing  industrial  life  of  the 
South,  together  with  the  world-currents  that  are  flowing  through  and 
around  our  Southern  Zion,  are  creating  ever  enlarging  opportunities  for 
mission  work. 

Here  in  the  homeland,  as  elsewhere  in  the  world,  forces  are  at  work 
on  a  gigantic  scale  to  give  a  new  "set"  to  our  social,  economic,  cul- 
tural and  religious  Hfe  for  generations  to  come.  In  this  field  of  cross 
currents  and  adverse  elements  we  must  bring  the  impact  of  the  whole 
denomination  to  bear  upon  the  task  for  creating  a  Christ-like  social 
order. 

The  outlook  for  the  Home  Mission  Board  is  brighter  right  now  than 
it  has  been  for  years.  This  is  not  because  the  Board  is  receiving  more 
money,  and  yet  it  is,  but  it  is  because  of  the  confidence  which  the 
brethren  throughout  the  territory  of  the  Convention  evidence  in  the 
Board,  and  because  of  the  belief  registered  everywhere  by  our  people 
that  the  Board  is  still  doing  and  will  continue  to  do  a  necessary  and 
valuable  mission  work. 

Achievements 

The  past  year  has  been  a  year  of  glorious  achievements  for  Home 
Missions.  The  Lord  has  richly  blessed  our  missionaries  in  every  field. 
The  Home  Mission  Board  now  has  371  missionaries  and  756  mis- 
sion stations.  During  the  past  year  39  were  added  to  the  mission  force. 
Sixty-four  new  mission  stations  were  opened  and  20  chapels  were  ac- 
quired. The  missionaries  have  distributed  29,226  Bibles,  Testaments^ 
and  portions  of  Scripture,  and  over  790,000  tracts.  They  have  preached 
29,454  sermons,  led  over  5,250  to  make  profession  of  faith  in  Christy 
and  have  received  3,835  into  the  fellowship  of  the  church. 

Increasing  Gifts  to  Home  Missions 

The  past  year  was  one  of  the  best  financially  in  many  years  for  the 
Home  Mission  Board.  Receipts  were  larger  than  the  year  before. 
Marked  progress  was  made  in  the  payment  of  debts.  The  Board  re- 
ceived from  aU  sources  $513,841.80.  The  Treasurer's  report  shows  that 
$163,660.89  was  paid  on  the  principle  of  the  debt.  A  debt  payment 
program  has  been  mapped  out  which  will  liquidate  all  the  debts  of  the 
Home  Mission  Board  by  1945  provided  receipts  do  not  fall  below  the 
receipts  of  1938. 

Let  us  realize  that  the  challenge  of  Home  Missions  is  a  call  to  new 
frontiers  of  work;  it  is  a  call  to  love  for  the  lost  because  they  are 
lost,  of  every  tribe  and  nation,  right  here  in  our  midst;  it  is  a  call  of 
the  neighbor  to  the  help  of  the  spiritually  helpless  who  lie  wounded 
and  stripped  on  the  side  of  the  road  that  runs  by  the  door  where  he 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  17 

lives;  it  is  a  call  for  the  adjustment  of  racial  relations  here  at  home 
that  test  the  Christ-spirit  of  our  churches  and  prove  or  disprove  the 
reality  of  our  mission  passion. 

18.  Foreign  Missions 

The  Foreign  Mission  Board  is  grateful  to  God  for  His  manifold 
blessings  and  to  Southern  Baptists  for  their  love  and  gifts  and  prayers. 
Yet  Southern  Baptists,  when  they  are  confronted  with  what  they  have 
done  and  with  what  they  might  have  done,  can  but  feel  that  often  they 
fall  short  of  the  glory  of  God  in  matters  of  work.  Notwithstanding 
our  failure  to  do  our  best  in  matters  of  advancing  the  Kingdom  of 
God,  we  are  grateful  to  God  for  what  faithful  and  sacrificing  Southern 
Baptists  and  our  missionaries  have  done. 

The  Foreign  Mission  Board  now  has  419  missionaries  and  1,082 
native  workers  in  the  13  foreign  countries  in  which  it  is  operating.  On 
these  mission  fields  are  1,774  churches,  of  which  1,053  are  self-sustain- 
ing, and  3,046  outstations.  These  churches  have  a  total  membership  of 
214,975.  During  the  past  year  16,207  united  with  these  churches  by 
baptism. 

Many  questions  are  asked  with  reference  to  the  effect  of  the  war 
on  our  Christian  work  in  China.  In  writing  the  report  for  Central 
China,  Dr.  H.  H.  McMillan  says: 

''This  report  could  be  filled  ^^-ith  heart-rending  stories  of  suffering 
among  the  milions  of  people  during  and  after  the  storm.  If  I  were  to 
dwell  upon  this  side  of  the  picture,  however,  I  would  not  be  true  to  the 
heroic  example  of  the  Chinese  who  are  having  little  to  say  about  the 
past  losses  and  suffering,  while  applying  themselves  with  fortitude  and 
courage  to  the  work  at  hand.  There  is  a  noticeable  absence  of  bitter- 
ness and  complaint.  From  the  lips  of  Christians  flows  a  constant 
stream  of  praise  to  God  for  his  goodness  and  protecting  care.  Material 
losses  sink  into  insignificance  in  the  presence  of  such  divine  providence. 
With  all  the  waste  and  ruin  of  war,  there  is  one  thing  that  cannot  be 
destroyed,  and  that  is  the  church  of  the  Living  God.  The  storm  that 
would  have  destroyed  the  churches  only  caused  their  roots  to  sink 
deeper  into  the  soil  and  scattered  the  Gospel  seed  far  and  wide.  The 
teaching  of  Jesus  had  been  fulfilled:  'Upon  this  rock  I  wiU  build  my 
church  and  the  gates  of  heU  shall  not  prevail  against  it.'  Moreover, 
first-century  Christianity  is  repeating  itself,  'They  that  were  scattered 
abroad  went  everywhere  preaching  the  word. '  The  missionaries,  like 
the  Chinese  Christians,  are  challenged  to  greater  endeavor  for  our  Lord. 
Miss  Sophie  Lanneau  expresses  the  feeling  of  all  the  missionaries  when 
she  says:  'This  is  the  time  to  stay  and  to  do  whatever  one's  hand  finds; 
to  do  unto  the  Lord.  This  is  the  time  for  our  people  at  home  to  be 
encouraged  and  not  discouraged.  The  life  that  can  say  "Thank  God 
for  his  mercies"  after  such  past  months  is  a  life  showing  the  reality 
of  religion.  Christ  is  not  going  to  lose.  He  will  continue  to  be 
glorified.'  " 


18  One  Hundred  Twenty-fourth  Annual  Session 

19.  Report  on  Christian  Education 

Eeligious  education  is  as  old  as  the  human  family.  God  taught 
Adam  and  Eve  in  the  Garden  of  Eden  His  laws  of  life.  He  gave  them 
definite  instruction.  From  that  day  until  now  the  work  of  Christian 
education  has  continued. 

Today,  the  program  of  Christian  education  is  vital  in  the  life  of 
our  modern  world.  The  Christian  college  that  is  genuinely  ' '  Christian  * ' 
will  give  to  the  world  real  character.  In  these  perilous  times  the  call 
for  Christian  statesmanship  and  leadership  is  imperative.  The  church- 
related  schools  have  made  a  worthy  contribution  to  the  development  of 
our  national  life. 

Wake  Forest  College  with  its  consecrated  professorship  and  its 
amiable  record  is  to  us  an  object  of  pride.  Her  scholarship,  her  spirit 
and  her  efficiency  give  her  a  high  place  among  the  great  colleges  of  the 
South.  Meredith  is  doing  for  our  girls  what  Wake  Forest  is  doing  for 
our  boys.  Chowan,  Campbell  and  Mars  Hill  are  the  junior  colleges 
under  Baptist  control  and  ownership  while  Wingate  and  Boiling  Springs 
are  doing  a  most  excellent  work  in  the  junior  college  field,  though  not 
now  owned  by  the  State  Convention. 

We  have  demanded  of  these  colleges  that  they  give  our  children 
Christian  education  and  they  have  not  betrayed  the  trust.  And  now 
upon  us  they  assert  their  claims;  claims  that  are  not  unjust.  They  ask 
of  us  our  patronage,  our  prayers,  our  moral  and  financial  support. 
Upon  us  more  than  upon  them  depends  the  future  of  these  colleges. 

Reports  on  Christian  education  at  our  associations  help  no  school 
unless  they  encourage  the  churches  and  individuals  to  help  some  school 
with  both  funds  and  students.  The  ideal  of  turning  out  graduates 
with  a  real  interest  in  doing  church  work  and  with  a  better  knowledge 
of  how  to  do  church  work  is  crystallizing  in  all  our  Baptist  schools. 
The  correlative  ideal  for  Baptists  is  that  we  must  maintain  these 
schools — dnd  so  maintain  them  that  they  shall  rank  as  first-rate  institu- 
tions educationally.  It  is  inevitable  that  institutions  that  are  not  Bap- 
tist will  attract,  train  and  hold  our  Baptist  youth  unless  we  Baptists 
adequately  equip  and  endow  our  schools,  so  that  these  will  be  able  to 
offer  Baptist  youth  as  complete  educational  advantages  as  are  found  in 
other  schools. 

20.  The  Biblical  Recorder 

The  Baptists  of  our  State  who  wish  to  keep  informed  as  to  Baptist 
activities  in  the  State  and  throughout  the  Convention  realize  more  and 
more  the  great  need  of  the  Biblical  Recorder.  It  is  needed  in  our  homes 
because  of  the  fact  that  the  weekly  and  daily  press  not  only  fail  often 
to  speak  favorably  of  Christianity,  but  too  often  speak  slightly  about  it. 

We  need  it  for  the  right  interpretation  of  truth.  We  need  it  for 
inspiration.  We  need  it  for  indoctrination.  Our  goal  should  be  the 
Biblical  Recorder  in  every  Baptist  home  in  the  Pee  Dee  Association.

21.  Mills  and  Kennedy  Homes 

The  purpose  of  the  Baptist  Orphanage  of  North  Carolina  as  pro- 
vided in  the  charter,  section  four,  is  "to  prepare  poor  and  promising 
orphans  for  the  duties  and  responsibilities  of  life. ' '  The  Orphanage, 
therefore,  is  not  an  institution  for  the  feeble-minded,  neither  is  it  a 
reformatory.  It  functions  in  the  field  where  it  can  be  of  the  greatest 
service. 

Since  the  home  was  founded  in  1885  it  has  had  four  General  Super- 
intendents: J.  H.  Mills,  1885-1895;  J.  B.  Boone,  1895-1905;  M.  L. 
Kesler,  1905-1932;  I.  G.  Greer,  1932—. 

The  Orphanage  operates  two  homes,  the  Mills  Home  at  Thomas- 
ville  and  the  Kennedy  Home  at  Kinston.  The  administrative  office, 
with  I.  G.  Greer,  General  Superintendent,  and  R.  D.  Covington,  Treas- 
urer, is  located  at  Thomasville.  The  Social  Service  Department,  under 
the  supervision  of  Miss  Hattie  Edwards,  is  administered  from  the  main 
office  at  Thomasville.  J.  C.  Hough  is  Superintendent  of  the  Kennedy 
Home,  Kinston. 

The  Orphanage  is  constantly  being  confronted  with  two  embarrass- 
ments. First,  it  is  impossible  to  make  room  for  all  who  apply  for  ad- 
mission; and  second,  it  is  equally  impossible  for  our  case  workers  to 
make  investigation  immediately  on  receipt  of  applications. 

Perhaps  no  other  orphanage  in  all  the  world  is  so  bound  up  with 
the  Sunday  schools  as  ours.  Almost  from  the  beginning  our  chief 
support  has  come  from  the  once-a-month  collections  from  the  Sunday 
schools.  There  are  2,437  Sunday  schools  in  North  Carolina.  If  each 
one  of  these  schools  would  take  a  collection  and  send  it  in  monthly  it 
would  enable  our  treasurer  to  pay  all  obligations  promptly.  So  far  the 
policy  of  the  once-a-month  collection,  as  adopted  by  the  Baptist  State 
Convention,  has  proved  to  be  the  most  satisfactory  method  of  financing 
the  Orphanage. 

The  health  record  of  the  Orphanage  is  unparalleled.  Out  of  the 
large  family  in  the  two  homes  only  one  child  has  died  in  over  six  years. 
This  health  record  is  attributed  largely  to  the  fact  that  the  children 
are  fed  well  and  that  they  eat  and  sleep  regularly.  They  are  clothed 
appropriately  for  the  season.  They  work  hard,  play  hard  and  study 
hard  under  proper  supervision. 

One  of  the  greatest  assets  in  the  life  of  the  Orphanage  is  the  library. 
Here  the  children  not  only  have  access  to  the  best  books  and  choicest 
magazines,  but)  their  reading  is  directed  by  a  skilled  librarian. 

Charity  and  Children,  as  its  organ,  is  the  right  arm  of  the  institu- 
tion. The  work  of  the  job  department  has  grown  until  it  is  a  big 
business  enterprise  within  itself.  It  gives  valuable  training  to  quite  a 
number  of  the  boys.  The  circulation  of  the  paper  is  now  27,870.  We 
ought  to  have  a  club  in  every  Sunday  school.     The  price  to  single  sub- 


20  One  Hundred  Twenty-foueth  Annual  Session 

scribers  is  $1.00,  in  clubs  of  10  or  more  to  one  address,  60  cents  per 
copy  a  year.  The  plan  in  these  clubs  is  to  furnish  a  copy  of  the  paper 
to  each  family  represented  in  the  Sunday  school. 

22.  The  Baptist  Hospital 

The  ministry  of  healing  is  indeed  Christianity  in  practice.  In  the 
North  Carolina  Baptist  Hospital,  the  Baptists  of  our  State  undertake 
to  "heal  the  sick'*  as  He  taught.  Patients  come  from  every  section  of 
the  State,  often  traveling  great  distances  in  the  faith  that  there  will 
be  beds  available  for  them  and  they  will  get  the  care  and  treatment. 
If  a  bed  or  even  space  for  a  cot  is  available,  they  are  received  regard- 
less of  creed  or  ability  to  pay.  In  keeping  with  the  hospital's  Christian 
character,  no  applicant  for  admission  has  ever  been  turned  away  be- 
cause he  or  she  didn't  have  the  price. 

Our  Opportunity 

A  minimum  of  $200,000  must  be  obtained  to  end  the  over-crowded 
condition  at  the  hospital  by  doubling  its  bed  capacity,  and  at  the  same 
time  without  cost  to  our  denomination  enabling  it  to  work  hand  in  hand 
with  the  new  Medical  School,  a  branch  of  Wake  Forest  CoUege  that  will 
be  constructed  on  the  hospital  grounds. 

A  great  and  generous  gift  by  the  Bowman  Gray  Foundation  is  mak- 
ing possible  the  construction  and  endowment  of  this  Medical  School. 
Thus  the  hospital  will  become  part  of  a  great  new  Medical  Center. 

We  cannot  fail  to  meet  this  urgent  appeal  in  a  way  that  will  re- 
flect honor  upon  our  denomination  in  the  present  and  in  the  future. 

23.  Ministerial  Relief  and  Annuity 

The  Belief  and  Annuity  Board  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention 
has  just  completed  its  twenty-first  year  of  service.  It  has  paid  in 
benefits  during  these  twenty-one  years  $3,560,690.21.  The  relief  bene- 
fits during'  the  past  year  totaled  $90,776.28,  and  annuity  benefits, 
$233,748.38. 

Our  people  should  give  to  the  work  of  this  Board  earnest  prayer 
and  liberal  contributions. 

24.  Fellowship  Offerings  for  Relief 

In  addition  to  the  regular  Co-operative  Program  gifts,  which  are  by 
no  means  sufficient  for  the  work  of  this  Board,  every  church  within  the 
bounds  of  the  Southern  Baptist  Convention  should  respond  to  the  ap- 
peal of  the  Board  for  at  least  one  Fellowship  Offering  to  be  taken  at 
the  Lord's  Supper  during  each  year.  Such  action  on  the  part  of  our 
churches  would  make  it  possible  for  this  Board  to  provide  benefits  for 
aged  ministers  and  widows  that  would  really  meet  their  necessities. 
At  present  we  are  not  meeting  their  necessities — we  are  only  helping 
a  little.  How  simple  a  matter  it  would  be  for  our  churches  to  do  this, 
and  we  believe  they  will  do  it  if  our  ministers  will  request  it.     Surely 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  21 

no  minister  will  feel  embarrassed  in  making  this  proposal  to  his  church, 
for  it  will  not  be  for  himself  but  for  others. 

25.  The  Convention  Ministers  Retirement  Plan 

The  Convention  Ministers  Eetirement  Plan,  which  is  already  in  op- 
eration in  South  Carolina  and  Texas,  is  expected  to  go  into  operation 
during  the  present  year  in  at  least  six  other  states,  and  before  the 
beginning  of  the  new  year  in  several  more. 

This  plan  is  the  flowering  forth  of  all  previous  plans  and  promises 
to  bring  adequate  support  for  all  active  ministers  of  the  Southern  Bap- 
tist Convention.  Unfortunately  those  who  have  already  retired  cannot 
participate  in  this  plan — they  must  be  aided  from  the  Belief  Depart- 
ment, but  there  is  no  reason  why  in  the  years  to  come  there  should  be 
a  single  needy  preacher  in  his  old  age  in  the  Southern  Baptist  Conven- 
tion. Surely  our  churches,  who  have  been  exempt  from  taxation  by 
the  government:  and  have  been  left  free  to  carry  on  their  work  without 
interference  from  the  government,  will  feel  that  they  should  do  volun- 
tarily for  their  ministers  what  the  government  requires  business  organ- 
izations to  do  by  law. 

This  new  plan  is  making  great  progi'ess,  and  it  has  behind  it  the 
State  Conventions,  the  State  Boards  and  the  officials  of  the  conventions 
and  the  boards,  and  this  time  the  preachers  themselves,  for  the  funds 
they  ask  their  churches  to  pay  toward  this  plan  are  not  for  themselves 
as  individuals,  but  for  a  great  group  of  preachers  who  participate  in 
the  plan.  It  is  a  plan  that  offers  a  real  solution  of  the  problem  of 
ministerial  relief  and  is  destined  to  be  accepted  by  every  State  Con- 
vention, and  we  trust  by  every  church  and  minister  in  the  Southern 
Baptist  Convention. 

26.  Teaching  and  Training 

In  the  early  days  attention  was  almost  solely  on  evangelism.  Now 
that  our  membership  has  grown  so  rapidly  emphasis  must  be  given  to 
the  training  and  development  of  the  membership,  without,  however, 
omitting  evangelism.  About  1900  State  Missions  began  to  assume  a 
part  of  its  enlarging  task.  Sunday  school  departments  were  established 
as  a  part  of  the  general  work.  The  workers  connected  with  this  depart- 
ment, as  time  would  permit,  went  out  to  the  churches  in  an  effort  to 
secure  and  train  better  teachers  and  to  put  into  operation  better  meth- 
ods of  Sunday  school  administration.  At  a  later  period  the  B.  Y.  P.  U. 
— now  the  B.  T.  U. — was  organized,  emphasizing  not  so  much  the  teach- 
ing but  the  training  and  development  of  the  membership. 

With  the  department  of  our  work  in  the  hands  of  such  leaders  as 
Brethren  Perry  Crouch,  L.  L.   Morgan,   Nathan  Brooks   and  their  effi- 
cient helpers,  we  feel  sure  that  we  shall  press  toward  the  goal. 
Respectfully  submitted, 

Chas.  E.  Stevens.

34.  A  special  message  was  received  at  this  time  from  Mrs.  W.  C. 
Barrett,  Laurinburg,  President  of  the  Woman's  Missionary  Union  of 
the  Pee  Dee  Association,  who  gave  a  splendid  review  of  the  w^ork  of 
the  ladies  during  the  past  year. 

35.  In  the  absence  of  Smith  Hagaman,  Superintendent  of  the  Baptist 
Hospital  in  Winston-Salem,  C.  E.  Ruffin,  Ellerbe,  the  hospital  repre- 
sentative in  the  Association,  discussed  the  splendid  work,  accomplish- 
ments and  immediate  program  of  this  State  Baptist  Institution.  At 
the  close  of  these  remarks  the  motion  of  Charles  B.  Deane  carried  in

that  the  churches  support  and  help  make  possible  the  erection  at  the 
present  hospital  site  in  Winston-Salem  of  a  new  annex  which  is  sorely 
needed  to  take  care  of  the  large  number  of  patients  that  are  increasing 
year  by  year.  The  motion  also  included  an  expression  of  deep  appre- 
ciation to  the  Bowman  Gray  Foundation  for  the  generous  gift  to  Wake 
Forest  College  which  is  making  possible  the  establishment  of  a  four- 
year  medical  college  at  Winston- Salem.  Moderator  Moore  requested 
the  Clerk  to  advise  both  the  Hospital  officials  and  the  Bowman  Gray 
Foundation  of  this  action  of  the  Association.

Orphanage  was  led  by  Joe  C.  Hough,  Superintendent  of  the  Kennedy 
Home  branch,  Kinston. 

37.  An  address  on  Temperance  was  delivered  by  Cale  K.  Burgess, 
Raleigh,  President  of  the  United,  Dry  Forces  of  North  Carolina.  A  mo- 
tion that  the  Association  take  an  offering  in  behalf  of  this  worthy 
cause  was  passed  upon  motion  by  B.  M.  Covington,  Wadesboro,  which 
contribution  when  taken  amounted  to  $33.42. 

38.  A  special  number,  ** Yield  Not  to  Temptation,"  a  favorite  song 
of  the  late  Jimmie  Little,  for  many  years  a  great  temperance  leader 
and  preacher  in  this  section  of  the  State,  was  suggested  and  led  by  his 
son  James  B.  Little. 

39.  Moderator  Moore  called  attention  to  the  absence  of  Pastor  E.  M.

EDGAR  MACON  BROOKS,  SR. 

In  Whose  Honor  and  Appreciation  the  1940  Minutes  Are  Issued  by 
Order  of  the  Association 

Born  in  Stanly  County,  North  Carolina,  near  Norwood,  February  5, 
1861,  the  son  of  Cullen  Brooks  and  (Mrs.)  Louisa  Allen  Brooks.  Edu- 
cation limited  to  the  three  months  public  schools  of  his  day,  yet  a 
diligent  student  and  constant  reader  of  the  Bible  and  the  best  books 
obtainable  through  the  years,  being  a  continuous  subscriber  to  the 
Bihlical  Recorder  for  sixty-two  years.  Other  publications  having  a  great 
influence  in  his  life  were:  The  North  Carolina  Farmer,  and  The  Pro- 
gressive Farmer.  Married  (Miss)  Emma  Eugenia  Morton,  January  23, 
1901.  Children:  Cullen  Paul,  Clara  Jane,  Edgar  Macon,  Jr.,  Julian 
Allen,  Boylus  Cade,  Mary  Louisa.  Joined  the  Baptist  Church  in  1887. 
Began  his  Baptist  Ministry  in  1897.  Not  ordained  until  two  years  later 
in  Old  Rocky  River  Church  because  as  he  states  ' '  I  felt  it  my  duty  to 
prove  my  calling  before  asking  for  ordination. ' '  His  first  churches  were 
Pleasant  Hill  and  Cottonville  in  Stanly  County.  He  served  continuously 
at  different  periods  thirty-six  Baptist  Churches  and  retired  in  1940 
after  a  thirteen-year  pastorate  of  the  Peachland  Church  in  Anson 
County.  As  Historian  of  the  Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  (1929-1940) 
he  rendered  a  great  service  in  presenting  and  recording  valuable  factual 
data  on  the  thrilling  history  of  this  one  hundred  twenty-five  year  old 
Association.  He  is  now  living  and  continuing  his  ministry  near  the 
scenes  of  his  j^outh  in  Stanly  County.

ciation, urged  the  churches  to  complete  their  canvass  before  Novem-

19.  Bruce  Benton,  Eockingham,  submitted  the  Association  Eeport, 
covering  the  principal  objects  of  our  State,  Southwide  and  World  pro- 
grams for  Missionary  Baptists.  The  report  was  adopted  as  follows  upon 
motion  by  J.  Marvin  Smith. 

THE  ASSOCIATION  REPORT 

20.  The  Co-operative  Program 

The  Co-operative  Program  is  a  plan  adopted  by  Southern  Baptists 
whereby  each  Baptist  and  each  church,  through  the  unified  budget,  may 
share  in  giving  to  the  entire  Kingdom's  work.  This  plan  has  proved 
to  be  most  effective  so  far,  and  it  is  growing  more  popular  with  the 
passing  of  years. 

21.  Missions 

For  the  sake  of  convenience  we  have  divided  missions  into  State, 
Home  and  Foreign  Missions.  But  we  are  to  remember  that  the  name 
does  not  change  the  purpose  and  character  of  missions.  Every  Baptist 
church  is  a  missionary  church,  and  every  Baptist  preacher  is  a  mission- 
ary. All  our  churches  are  in  the  great  work  of  giving  the  Gospel  of 
the  Son  of  God  to  those  who  have  it  not,  and  all  our  preachers  are  set 
to  preach  the  unsearchable  riches  of  Jesus  Christ  and  him  crucified, 
whether  on  a  state-wide,  home-wide,  or  world-wide  basis. 

22.  State  Missions 

This  is  the  immediate  task  of  every  Baptist  in  North  Carolina  for 
building  up  the  Kingdom  within  the  confines  of  our  own  State.  With 
the  influx  of  people  from  all  parts  of  the  world  into  our  State;  with 
the  rapid  industrialization  of  our  State;  with  the  growth  of  towns  and 


18  One  Hundred  Twenty-fifth  Annual  Session 

cities,  and  the  constant  changes  in  our  rural  population,  there  is  impera- 
tive need  that  we  give  more  serious  attention  to  the  work  of  the  Lord 
in  our  domain.  New  churches  ought  to  be  established  and  aided  where 
there  are  not  enough  Baptists  to  carry  on  the  work.  Weak,  struggling 
churches  ought  to  be  given  sufficient  aid  to  keep  them  functioning  until 
such  time  as  they  can  support  themselves.  The  present  strength  of  our 
denomination  in  the  State  is  due  in  large  measure  to  the  fact  that,  in 
the  earlier  days,  our  fathers  wisely  planted  mission  stations  in  towns 
and  in  the  country;  and  from  these  small  beginnings  have  developed 
some  of  our  strongest  churches. 

23.  Home  Missions 

Southwide  in  scope,  the  Home  Mission  Board,  located  in  Atlanta, 
Ga.,  is  undertaking  to  evangelize  and  develop  those  stretches  of  our 
territory  in  which  the  separate  states  have  but  partially  labored,  or 
which  have  not  been  able  to  cope  with  the  difficult  situations.  No  one 
state  can  adequately  take  care  of  our  larger  cities,  the  great  numbers 
of  foreigners,  the  Jews,  the  Negroes,  the  industrial  and  recreational 
centers.  The  Home  Board  is  doing  a  splendid  piece  of  work  along  these 
lines,  besides  the  work  it  is  carrying  on  in  Cuba,  Panama,  Canal  Zone, 
and  other  points  in  Central  America.  If  we  let  our  Southland  become 
paganized  and  papalized,  then  there  is  but  little  hope  for  evangelical  re- 
ligion in  the  United  States. 

24.  Foreign  Missions 

When  the  Lord  commanded  his  disciples  to  go,  make  disciples,  bap- 
tize them,  and  to  teach  them  to  observe  all  things  commanded,  he  placed 
no  racial  or  territorial  boundaries.  Our  Foreign  Mission  Board,  with 
headquarters  in  Richmond,  Va.,  is  undertaking  to  carry  out  the  ''great 
commission"  by  sending  missionaries  into  Asia,  Africa,  Europe,  South 
America,  Mexico,  and  other  outlying  districts  of  the  world.  The  second 
great  World  War  now  in  progress  has  greatly  disrupted  the  work  of 
our  missionaries;  but  it  has  not  destroyed  their  faith  in  God,  and  their 
will  to  remain  at  their  tasks  until  the  Kingdom  come  and  His  will  be 
accomplished.  Now,  as  probably  never  before,  is  our  opportunity  to 
reach  and  evangelize  large  sectors  of  the  human  race  who  have  lost 
faith  in  governments  and  rulers,  and  who  are  like  sheep  without  shep- 
herds. It  is  no  time  for  retrenchment  and  retreat;  of  all  times,  it  is 
the  day  of  opportunity  for  a  great  crusade  for  Christ  our  Lord. 

25.  Christian  Education 

Illiteracy  is  the  bane  of  all  races  and  all  cults.  It  breeds  fanaticism, 
superstition  and  fear.  An  educated  people  is  an  open-minded  people. 
But  an  education  without  the  Christian  motive  undergirding  it,  may 
become  a  dangerous  instrument  in  the  hands  of  man.  We  believe,  there- 
fore, in  a  system  of  education  that  teaches  the  truth,  all  that  is  true; 
and  which  is  not  circumscribed  by  the  traditions  of  men.  In  our  Bap- 
tist colleges  and  schools  we  find  that  system  operating  at  its  highest 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  19 

level.  The  policy  of  our  schools  is  to  develop  Christian  character  in 
the  students  as  well  as  to  impart  knowledge  to  them.  We  make  no 
apology  for  maintaining  and  supporting  these  schools;  ''by  their  fruits 
ye  shall  know  them."  They  should  be  kept  distinctively  Christian  and 
Baptist,  and  the  denomination  should  give  to  them  its  loyalty,  support 
and  patronage. 

Benevolences 

26.  The  Hospital 

In  our  State  the  Baptists  have  only  one  hospital,  located  in  Winston- 
Salem;  but  it  is  one  of  the  best  manned  and  equipped  hospitals  in  all 
the  country.  With  the  gift  of  the  Bowman  Grey  Foundation,  the  School 
of  Medicine  of  Wake  Forest  College  is  being  transferred  to  Winston- 
Salem,  and  will  have  its  domicile  on  the  grounds  of  the  Baptist  Hos- 
pital. That  means  an  enlarged  medical  college  and  an  enlarged  hos- 
pital. Our  offerings  on  Mother's  Day  should  be  greatly  increased  in 
order  to  take  care  of  the  increasing  number  of  needy  patients  who  are 
entering  the  hospital. 

27.  The  Orphanage 

Our  Baptist  Orphanage  is  comprised  of  two  units — one  at  Thomas- 
ville,  known  as  the  Mills  Home,  and  one  at  Kinston,  known  as  the 
Kennedy  Home.  Both  of  these  institutions  are  doing  a  great  and  good 
work,  and  both  are  caring  for  and  training  a  large  number  of  boys  and 
girls,  who  otherwise  might  be  lost  to  society  and  to  our  Lord's  work. 
These  institutions  are  dear  to  our  people,  and  our  churches  cheerfully 
contribute  to  their  support  through  the  monthly  offerings  in  the  Bible 
Schools,  and  the  annual  Thanksgiving  offering. 

28.  Ministers'  and  Church  Employees'  Retirement  Plan 

For  the  first  time  in  the  history  of  our  state  work,  the  Baptists  have 
formulated  and  adopted  a  plan  by  which  old  ministers  and  other  church 
employees  may  retire  from  active  service  with  the  assurance  of  a  limited 
support.  While  the  amount  of  help  this  fund  provides  is  at  present 
meager,  it  promises  greater  assistance  in  the  years  to  come.  Every  pas- 
tor should  enroll  in  this  Retirement  Plan,  and  every  church  should 
count  it  a  privilege  to  have  a  part  in  this  needed  work.  This  plan  is  in 
co-operation  with  the  Relief  and  Annuity  Board  of  the  Southern  Bap- 
tist Convention. 

Training  Activities 

29.  Bible  Schools 

One  of  the  finest  agencies  for  teaching  and  training  our  youth,  as 
well  as  the  adults  of  our  churches,  is  the  Sunday  School,  better  defined, 
the  Bible  School.  Through  this  agency  the  churches  obtain  the  majority 
of  their  recruits.  Consequently  it  is  very  important  that  our  Sunday 
Schools  be  manned  by  men  and  women  who  are  qualified  by  training, 
and  who  have  been  ''born  from  above,"  that  their  pupils  may  be  led 


20  One  Hundred  Twenty-fifth  Annual  Session 

into  a  consciousness  of  their  sins  and  into  the  saving  knowledge  of  the 
Son  of  God.  Our  goal  should  be  ''More  and  better  Sunday  Schools, 
better  trained  teachers,  better  material  equipment,  and  better  teaching 
of  the  Word  of  God." 

30.  Baptist  Training  Union 

The  fact  is,  that  in  most  of  our  churches  the  Training  Union  has 
not  been  taken  seriously.  In  some  cases,  pastors  feel  that  the  Unions 
have  not  trained  their  young  into  the  churches,  but  rather  away  from 
the  churches.  The  fault,  probably,  is  with  both  pastors  and  parents,  in 
that  they  have  not  taken  an  active  and  guiding  hand  in  the  work  of 
the  Unions.  Or  else  the  trouble  lies  in  the  leadership  of  the  Unions. 
In  all  events,  our  pastors  and  churches  find  it  difficult  to  keep  the 
Unions  properly  functioning.  We  ought  to  abandon  them,  or  else  put 
more  energy  and  spirit  and  thinking  into  them.  None  questions  the 
need  and  importance  of  training  our  youth  in  Bible  study  and  methods. 
We  ought,  therefore,  to  utilize  the  Training  Unions,  and  to  make  them 
great  dynamos  of  spiritual  power.  It  can  be  done,  but  it  is  going  to 
take  prayer,  consecration  and  divine  wisdom  on  the  part  of  those  who 
are  the  leaders  in  this  field. 

31.  Religious  Literature 

In  this  day  of  radio,  pictures,  and  reading  matter  of  all  types, 
it  is  highly  important  that  the  right  sort  of  literature  come  into  our 
homes.  Certainly  every  Baptist  home  in  the  State  should  have  the  Bil>- 
lical  Beorder  on  its  table,  so  that  no  member  of  the  family  could  escape 
its  influence.  What  a  child  reads  will  largely  determine  the  character 
of  that  child.    "As  one  readeth,  so  is  he." 

32.  Conclusion 

NotAvithstanding  the  horrible  conditions  created  by  war  in  Europe, 
and  the  bewildered  state  of  mind  of  our  own  people,  we  have  much  to 
encourage  us.  The  Lord  has  greatly  blessed  us,  our  churches  have  grown 
and  prospered,  our  schools  are  full  to  overflowing,  and  all  signs  point 
toward  a  larger  opportunity  for  our  Baptist  people  to  demonstrate  the 
principles  of  religious  freedom,  democracy  in  church  government,  and 
loyalty  to  the  teachings  of  our  Lord  Jesus  Christ. 

Respectfully  submitted, 

Bruce  Benton.

33.  A  message,  "Old  Age  Ministers  and  Ministers  Retirement 
Plan,"  was  brought  by  J.  B.  Willis,  Hamlet. 

34.  J.  Boyce  Brooks,  Rowland,  guest  of  the  Association,  came  as 
the  representative  of  the  Biblical  Eecorder  and  spoke  on  Religious  Lit- 
erature. 

35.  In  the  absence  of  Smith  Hagaman,  Superintendent  of  the  Bap- 
tist Hospital,  Winston-Salem,  C.  E.  Ruffin,  the  Hospital  Representative 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  AssociATioisr  21 

in  the  Association,  spoke  of  the  greatly  enlarged  program  at  the  Hos- 
pital and  the  establishment  of  the  Bowman  Grey  Medical  School  of 
Wake  Forest  College  and  urged  closer  co-operation  on  the  part  of  the 
churches.

37.  The  special  order  at  this  hour  was  a  message  on  the  "One  Hun- 
dred Twenty-fifth  Anniversary  of  the  Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association"  by 
Historian  E.  M.  Brooks,  New  London,  for  thirteen  years  pastor  at 
Peachland,  but  recently  retired.  The  Association  took  special  recogni- 
tion of  the  honorable  life  and  special  service  rendered  by  Brother 
Brooks  now  nearing  eighty  years  of  age,  when,  following  a  motion  by 
J.  B.  Willis,  the  Association  authorized  the  Clerk  to  dedicate  the  1940 
Minutes  in  appreciation  of  his  Godly  life.  At  the  close  of  Brother 
Brooks'  message  a  love  gift  amounting  to  $33.42  was  presented  to  him 
by  the  messengers  and  visitors  in  attendance. 

38.  J.  Marvin  Smith,  Chairman  of  the  Committee  on  Committees, 
submitted  the  report  for  the  Committee  and  upon  motion  by  C.  E. 
Euffin  was  approved  as  follows: 

Committee  on  Place  and  Preacher  for  the  1941  Association:  Bruce 
Benton,  Chairmun,  T.  G.  Thomas,  E.  C.  Tennant.

mously approved  receiving  the  Marston  Church,  constituted  in  1939, 
Robert  C.  Melton,  Pastor,  which  action  took  place  upon  motion  by  B.  H. 
Condor.  As  the  Moderator  extended  greetings  to  this  new  church  at- 
tention was  called  to  the  fact  that  even  now  this  group  of  Baptists 
were  giving  more  to  the  denominational  program  than  several  churches 
which  have  been  in  the  Association  for  many  years.  The  Pastor  was 
requested  to  carry  to  this  new  group  of  Baptists  greetings  from  the 
Association,  urging  also  that  they  continue  their  splendid  efforts  and 
actively  take  part  in  all  phases  of  the  Baptist  denominational  program. 

40.  Cards  sponsored  by  the  United  Dry  Forces  in  North  Carolina 
were  distributed  among  the  Messengers  and  visitors  and  approximately 
three  hundred  were  signed,  being  a  pledge  to  abstain  from  the  use  of  in- 
toxicating liquors  and  also  to  be  used  with  other  signatures  from  North 
Carolina  in  submitting  a  memorial  to  the  1941  North  Carolina  State 
Legislature  asking  that  a  state-wide  referendum  on  the  sale  of  intoxi- 
cating liquors  in  North  Carolina  be  granted. 

41.  J.  Marvin  Smith  offered  prayer  and  the  morning  session  ad- 
journed for  a  bountiful  dinner  served  by  the  membership  of  the  Cart- 
ledge  Creek  Church.

and  report  on  the  work  of  the  women  in  the  Association. 

Song:   ''To  the  Work." 

44.  Charles  E.  Stevens,  Wadesboro,  preached  the  Annual  Sermon  at

45.  With  Vice-Moderator  Aubrey  S.  Tomlinson  presiding,  John 
Arch  McMillan,  Thomasville,  Editor,  Charity  4r  Children,  was  wel- 
comed to  his  old  home  Association,  whose  address  that  followed  on  the 


Pee  Dee  Baptist  Association  23 

boys  and  girls  of  the  North  Carolina  Baptist  Orphanage  touched  the 
hearts  of  the  large  group  present  for  this  closing  session. 

46.  Kalph  Hunsworth,  Kockingham,  sang  *'The  Holy  City.'* 

47.  Upon  the  insistence  of  both  J.  C.  Meigs,  Polkton,  who  was  to 
speak  on  ** Memorials — Today's  Challenge''  and  Aubrey  S.  Tomlinson, 
Laurinburg,  named  to  lead  a  discussion  on  Church  Problems,  these 
points  were  omitted  since  the  program  was  running  forty  minutes  be- 
hind schedule. 

48.  Chairman  Bruce  Benton  of  the  Committee  on  Place  and  Preacher 
for  the  1941  Association  reported  that  the  Committee  recommended 
that  the  next  session  be  held  with  the  East  Rockingham  Church  and

51.  A  motion  to  express  the  feelings  of  grateful  appreciation  of  the 
messengers  and  visitors  to  the  members  of  the  Cartledge  Creek  Church 
for  their  splendid  entertainment  was  offered  by  J.  B.  Willis  and  en- 
thusiastically adopted.  The  General  Chairman  on  arrangements,  W.  H. 
Covington,  responded  and  introduced  several  assistants  who  were  re- 
sponsible for  helping  to  make  this  one  of  the  best  meetings  of  the 
Association  in  the  memory  of  the  oldest  messengers  attending. 

52.  The  annual  election  of  officers  took  place  at  this  time  with  the 
election  of  the  following: 


24  One  Hundred  Twenty-fifth  Annual  Session 

Moderator:  Upon  the  nomination  of  C.  E.  Ruffin,  seconded  by 
Aubrey  S.  Tomlinson,  W.  H.  Moore,  Wadesboro,  was  unanimously  re- 
elected. 

Vice-Moderator:  J.  B.  Willis  nominated  Aubrey  L.  Tomlinson,  Lau- 
rinburg,  and  upon  the  second  of  Charles  E.  Stevens  he  was  re-elected. 

Clerk-Treasurer:  Charles  B.  Deane,  Eockingham,  upon  nomination  by 
Aubrey  S.  Tomlinson  and  the  second  of  C.  E.  Ruf&n,  was  re-elected  to 
serve  his  fifteenth  year.

to  retire  as  Historian,  W.  H.  Covington,  Rockingham,  was  elected  upon 
the  motion  of  C.  B.  Deane  and  the  second  of  J.  C.  Meigs. 

53.  In  the  closing  minutes  the  question  of  the  reorganization  of 
both  the  Associational  Baptist  Training  Union  Convention  and  the 
Associational  Sunday  School  Convention  arose.  On  the  question  of  the 
election  of  an  Associational  Director  of  the  B.  T.  U.  Convention,  Charles 
B.  Deane  expressed  the  belief  that  a  logical  person  might  be  secured 
from  the  Laurinburg,  First  Church.  Whereupon  Aubrey  L.  Tomlinson 
nominated  Madison  Hudson,  Laurinburg,  as  the  Director  and  he  was 
duly  elected.  Moderator  Moore  stated  that  he  felt  if  the  Association 
should  elect  E.  P.  Pearee,  Sr.,  Hamlet,  formerly  Superintendent  of  the 
Associational  Sunday  School  Convention,  he  would  accept  and  upon 
the  Moderator's  motion  E.  P.  Pearee,  Sr.,  was  elected.  These  men 
being  asked  to  explore  the  possibility  of  the  immediate  reorganization 
of  these  two  Associational  Auxiliaries. 

54.  W.  H.  Covington,  Enrollment  Chairman,  reported  that  285  mes- 
sengers and  visitors  had  registered  for  the  different  sessions.
