APPENDIX A
Seventy-Seventh Annual Report
OP THE
Foreign Mission Board
OF THE
Southern Baptist Convention
J. F. LOVE, Corresponding secretary,
Richmond, Virginia
1922
It becomes the duty of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist
Convention again to give the Convention and the churches which co-operate in
work through the Convention a report of its stewardship for a twelve-months.
This we do with grateful recognition of the Lord’s blessing upon us and the work
of the Board in all lands and all departments of our labor to extend the Kingdom
of Christ.
No mere words could express the grateful appreciation which this Board feels
for the continued fine spirit of co-operation which is given it by all groups, or¬
ganizations and agencies in the denomination. To one and all we extend cordial
thanks and for each beseech a Father's blessing.
History Has Lessons.
This report covers the seventy-seventh year of the Board’s continuous work,
the second year on the fourth quarter century of Southern Baptists’ co-operation
through this agency to give the gospel of Christ to the lost nations. As the
denomination moves forward toward the century-mark of co-operative service
through their own Foreign Mission Board, one is strongly provoked to reflection
upon the service which has been rendered, to make a survey of the fields of pre¬
sent activities, and to attempt a forecast of the future for this great enterprise.
The more than three-quarters of a century of common burden-bearing, concerted
prayer and continuous labor for Foreign Missions by Southern Baptists has
lessons for us. We have witnessed dark days and occasional halt in the work,
enemies have opposed and false brethren have misrepresented the work, but, in
spite of difficulties and opposition, achievement has been cumulative. We ac¬
cept this fact as a token of Divine favor and take courage.
The Board Has Kept Faith.
The Board, from its beginning located in the City of Richmond, has never be¬
trayed the confidence of the denomination of those who have had financial deal¬
ing with it. It has endeavored faithfully to represent the faith and the honor
of Southern Baptists. With negligible exceptions, those who have been, sent to
the mission fields have not failed to bear witness to the faith of Southern
Baptist churches, and the few who have proved the exceptions have had their
service with the Board discontinued when kind and faithful admonition failed to
bring such into harmony with their fellow-missionaries and the churches at home.
The Board has been compelled to borrow money from the banks of Richmond at
FOREIGN' M ARD, S. 8. C.
