EDITORIAL. We regret very much the delay in issuing the July MONTHLY, occasioned by circumstances which we could not control. This number of the MONTHLY contains that portion of the Annual Report not printed in July. The two numbers containing the complete Report are very valuable and should be not only read by all who wish to be well informed regarding the diversified work of the Home Mission Society, but should be kept for easy reference when information is desired regarding any part of its operations during the past year. Now that it has been decided to hold the Baptist anniversaries in Portland in 1896, we have no doubt that multitudes of Baptists, from Maine to Minnesota, will at once begin preparations to participate in this great Missionary journey across the continent. The Baptist Rally in connection with the Christian Endeavor Convention in Boston, was the largest assemblage of Baptists probably, ever witnessed. More than ten thousand people gathered under the Tent, and for more than two hours gave close attention to the interesting exercises prepared for them under the skillful leadership of Prof. Henry C. Vedder. At the quarterly meeting (June 12th, 1895) the Woman's Baptist Home Mission Society of the Cleveland, Ohio, Association, unanimously voted "that we express to the American Baptist Home Mission Society our desire to become auxiliary to that Society, and that our contributions to the * No. 8 Society go to its General Fund unless otherwise designated." The Fifth International Convention of the B. Y. P. U. A., held in Baltimore, July 18th to 21st, was the largest and most enthusiastic meeting of the series. An excellent spirit pervaded the vast assembly, the papers and addresses were good, and the general effect of the meeting cannot fail to be beneficial and permanent. We greatly rejoice in the success of the movement, and we believe if it can be directed so as to promote the Christian culture of Baptist young people in the interest of Christian service, the movement will mark a new era in our denominational life. We regretted to see so very small a representation of that vast host of young Baptists who so greatly need precisely those influences which this great organization is so well calculated to exert upon them. We cannot help feeling that it will be a blunder, if not a crime, to shut the doors of the B. Y. P. U. A. upon a million and a half of Negro Baptists. For more than thirty years the American Baptist Home Mission Society has been us ing its best endeavors to arouse, stimulate and develop the manhood and womanhood of the Negroes, and its labors have been crowned with marked success. Negroes are appointed on the Boards of Trustees and in the Faculties of its Institutions, and, on Anniversary occasions are welcomed to its deliberations and on its platform. The color line is never drawn either by this Society, by the Missionary Union or by the Publication Society. Why should it be drawn by the Junior Society? |
