APPENDIX A
Seventy-Fourth Annual Report
OF THE
Foreign Mission Board
Southern Baptist Convention
J. F. LOVE, Corresponding Secretary
Richmond, Virginia
Never in the seventy-four years of this Convention's history
has the Foreign Mission Board offered a report of its work for
a year which was more eventful than that which has just closed.
The public mind has rarely, if ever, been more distracted, the
work of the churches more interrupted, the demands upon the
benevolent more numerous or insistent than during the Conven¬
tion year 1918-19. That our people have under the conditions
responded so nobly to the religious needs of those whom they
have never seen and the report of your Foreign Mission Board
shows a clean balance sheet is an encouraging sign of a grow¬
ing conscience among Southern Baptists for Foreign Missions;
and that amidst all the vicissitudes of the' year, with inadequate
forces and equipment, the missionaries report a truly successful
year's work accomplished is a token of God’s will that we should,
with expectation, attempt still larger things.
RECEIPTS.
The receipts of the year have been $1,223,190.47, a gain over
last year of $370,266.74. Last year, for the first time, two states,
namely, Texas and Virginia, crossed the $100,000 mark in con¬
tributions to Foreign Missions. This year shows the force of
example. The treasurer's report shows that Arkansas, Georgia,
Kentucky, Texas, and Virginia have crossed this mark, and some
have gone well beyond it.
