A Method Far Raising Money.
The Baptist State Convention of Vir
ginia at its annual session in Lexington
Va., May twelfth eighteen eighty-six.
adopted the following plan for raising
money to carry on the Foreign Mission
work;
RICHMOND, VIRGINIA SATURDAY, JUNE 12, 1886.
First, that each church in the State be
requested to give quarterly collections
for Foreign Mission, that each member
of the church be requested to give as
least five cents at these quarterly meet
Ings and the church to see that the mon
ey be sent at once to the Secretary of
the Board, he sending them a receipt
for the same. By this method, sufficient
money can be raised to carry on the For
elgn Mission work without being burden
tome to any. It Is hoped that every
tor in the State will at once put this ma t
ter before their churches and get their
cooperation in carrying it into effect at
the old plan of giving one or two collec
lions a year holding them until the con
vention, have failed to produce the de
sired end. Rev J. A. Taylor is Secreta
ry and agent of the Foreign Mission
Board and is authorized to receive all
moneys for the Foreign Mission, in this,
the first District embracing Virginia
Maryland and the District o< Columbia.
He holds himself ready to visit any
church or society, association and con
vention, preach missionary sermons and
assist in carrying into effect the objects
of the convention.
