•aid Behool in tbe near
future and whereas, the »ite has been
•old to the Herrin and Southern It. R.
and deed will be made in the next IS
days therefore in order to begin the
operation of said school in the near
future, the trustees have ordered me
to ask every Baptist member churches
and auxiliaries and pastors to raise
as much money as possible by the 5th
Sunday in April for said school, as
w© have designated that day to raiae
money for the school, at least give
us a big collection on that flay and
send same toT. O Yancy at Me
tropolis the treasurer, and the a
mount and name of the church,
society or individual to the Gazette
for publication. Let. us make this sn
ideal financial relly for the school at
Metropolis, the coming city of-‘Egpt”
Illinois is our home, and oar people
are c lining in from the Southland,
seeking shelter ami protection under
our laws so let us prepare to take
care of them from an educational and
religious standpoint.

Education.
Recommedations.
Bro. President, and members,
we your committee on Education
'submit our report. Whereas
there is a growing need among
our people day by day for Edu
cation along all lines, especially
a Biblical and Industrial Educat
ion and whereas, Baptists of
Southren Illinois stands greatly j
in need of a denominational school
in order to inculcate Baptist
principles and lay down a more
perfect foundation for Baptist
youth that they may be taught
more systematically in the^
doctrine of the church of Jesus
Christ, and, whereas to do this1
most effectually a school must be
established and maintained largely
by the negro Baptist of the State;
of Illinois, and whereas, the Mt.!
Olive Baptist Association of
Southern Illinois has property
valued at $3,000 in the city ol
Metropolis with a charter from
the State of Illinois known as the!
Livington Normal, and Industrial
College. Therefore we recom
mend that the trustees prepare to
open said school the ist Monday
in October 1911.
We further recommend that re
newed efforts be put lorth by this
convention and all of its
auxiliaries at once to raise money
to assist in running the school.
Wo further recommend that
the missionaries be instructed and
empowered to solicit and collect
money for the College at Me
tropolis and make their report to
the Trustee! of said achool at the
Association at Cairo III. in Sept.
1911 in order that we may be
able to have money on hand to
foster the school.

Dear Sir:please permit us to
say in the column of the Gazette,
that we have made the following
towns within the past two weeks,
Dewmaine Carbondale. Murphy
boro, Mt. Vernon, Marion, Pulas
ki and Mound City and proud to
say that the churches are doing
nicely both religously, and finan*
dally. Rev. B.-own and Rev.
Paris of Murphysboro, handed
their $1.00 each lor church build
ing fund, also Rev Armstead, of
who has already contributed a.
bout for state home, and, foreign
mission there are several others
that have given ali the way from
$5 OO to 5 oo this does not in
clude the $l .CO church building,
but aside from the Kid C, C. Barn
es of Md City, said Kid. Phillipsjl
have been looking for you and
ready for you, 1 am in line with
the work, Elder Braddock. Oneal,
Ligon and Rev. R. Stoval all fell
in line. Rev. Stovall met us at
the train at 6:30 on just on the
eve of our leaving the city said
give me credit for $t.OO, 1 must
join the band, there has been a
a naber of others that have joined
the ministers, and lay members
Missionaries move their names,
will appear in due time. Upon
our arrival we found a letter from
Mrs. Sneed, of Murphysboro,
which contained $2 75, It must
be remembered that Mr Sneed
does not belong to the church, on
ly hit wife, and daughter Isnt that
people awokening up all over the
district, as to what the Lord
would have them do, it used to
be when a Call was made for mis
sion work that adeacoa or preach
er would take the door, and cry
aloud the church in her own sovcr
ign and dont have to unless she
want to, the sinner dont have to
go to heaven unless he wants to.
It is his province to go to hell
if he wants, but to obey that gos
pel shall mean heaven And an
other honse his word use to be
'‘Charity must begin at home '
that is quite tru*; Hut if it dees
not spread abroad that is strong
evidence, that there is no charity
at hom«. There is none but the
most illiterate, and selfish that
will cling to thst nonsensical idea
now. It is but a selfish idea, or
an extreme ignorance for persons
i to argue that sort of stuff, in this
! illumined age. The soveringty
of the church is to do just what
I Jesus says do. That is the su
preme M ission and power of the
! church, and t-o say we cant do it
| is to say that Jesus commanded,
the churches do what it can not
do. And to ssy that means to
J charge him with foly. The Anti
missionaries that are following the
Associations and Conventions for
the fish and loaves will soon be
regulated to the rear where they
justly belong in tact they belong
to the hard shells.
Missionary Baptist the land
justly belongs to you, 1st us go
up and poses* it. Let us strive
to reach the ($.500) five hundred
dollar mark at the Association at
Brookport this year
Respectfully,
