Excerpt from Minutes of the Sixtieth Annual Session of the North River Baptist Association: Held With Oakman Church, Walker County, September 22d, 23d and 24th, 1894 Dear Brethren Foreign missions is a subject that should be carefully and prayerfully studied. Probably there is no object fostered by our denomina tion about which there is more prejudice and ignorance, and it is a painful fact that many people rejoice in theirignorance of the subject, and are too muchprejudiced to inform themselves. They willingly are ignorant of God's great plan of giving the gospel to the world, and subjecting the kingdoms of earth to the reign of our Lord and his Christ. Race and national prejudice' play a large part in the coldness and indifference on the side of those who have the gospel. But notwithstanding, men are living in wilful disobedience to the high command of Almighty God, to give this gospel to all the world, yet he who Openeth and no man shutteth is opening the windows of heaven and the doors of earth and filling the uplifted hands of christian men and -women who are carrying the bread of life to the dying millions of earth. The pros pect brightens and the day star glows in the eastern sky. That Christian is blind and cannot see afar off who cannot read the signs of the times, which even the wayfaring man, who, though he were a fool may read as he runs. Such a man though he Were upon the housetop, or the mountain top, and the four - cornered sheet was let down from heaven every noon-day during his natural lifetime and he heard the voice, after the blessing was pronounced, Rise Peter, slay and eat, yet he never would go to the call of the gentle Cor helius.
