j HOME MATTERS, . . t • ’* Ag
OurStian women have made the magnificent offering of $36,- J
042.7/id the children, following their sisterS and mothers, have-
preseiM>^83.34, making gifts, in the six years of their little exist¬
ence, ^gating $20,030.09. ‘ - °
JBigi points of interest are communicated to the Convention; ’
the fij which is that “Maryland, with the smallest Baptist popu- -
latioives the largest contribution, with one exception,” and the :
eighth is that the Messrs. Levering sent check's for $7.000.
Sin890, when the Convention recommended that one hundred :
new lionaries be sent out, forty have been appointed by the Board
and,|ll who may be appointed before the close of the year 1893 be
regajl as “Centennial Missionaries,” the number may not fall far '
shor I the desired one hundred. ' ' 4
Dxjdl resigned the Assistant Secretaryship of the Foreign Mission
Boajto accept the Secretaryship of the Sunday-school Board of the
Con/tion. In the former position eminently efficient, he will prove
him/, in the latter, a worthy successor of its recent Secretary, the
Present of that Board. As in the past the Convention has entrusted
the rails of its foreign work to the Foreign Board, so in the matter
of distant Secretaryship and associated things it is hoped that the
Co^ntion will confide in the Board, whose best judgment will he
eriipyed so to readjust its affairs that the cause committed to its
caishall suffer no detriment.
le Board has lamented the decease of three noble wromen of God:--
Ms Anne J . Maberry, of Mexico, Mrs. L. S. Ginsburg, of Brazil, and
Ml. T. P. Bell, of Virginia, of each of whom might be well written
wpt the.Board records of Mrs. Bell :• . ' , —
None knew her but to love her;
'None named her but to praise.'
