APPENDIX A
SEVENTY-NINTH ANNUAL REPORT
of the
FOREIGN MISSION BOARD
of the
SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION
J. F. Love, Corresponding Secretary
Richmond, Virginia
1924
The Foreign Mission Board has ended its seventy-ninth year of service for
Christ and Southern Baptists with feelings of profound gratitude for sustaining
grace, blessings bestowed upon the work and with hope for the future. The
year brought with it a burden of anxiety for the work. There have been un¬
certainties. disappointments and heartaches. The Board has been compelled to
deny its missionaries many of their requests and this denial has been painful to
the Board, as well us discouraging to the missionaries. But even in the darkest
hours there have been some gleams of light. God has given strengtli for burdens
and the trials of the year have brought forth pledges of loyalty and assurance of
daily, personal, family and concerted prayer from many of God's saints who have
had understanding. The dark hour has had its compensations; and coming
now to chronicle the record of the year, behold we see that God has crowned it
with His loving-kindness. We cried unto the Lord in our trouble and He has
delivered us out of our distresses. The debt which has well-nigh smothered
faith and hope has in the closing hours of the year been reduced from approxi¬
mately one and one halt million dollars to $711,611.95 which final figure is $307,-
732.71 more than the indebtedness reported last year. Blessed be His name! and
blessed be His people who for love of Him have lightened this burden!
