Excerpt from Alabama Baptist State Convention Annual Reports, 1873 The means for the efficient perfin'mance of so great a Work have not been given to the Board. At the last Southern Baptist Convention, it was recommended to the denomination in the various States to cm ploy local agencies. With whom the Domestic Board Would, not inter l'erc, and to furnish that Board, for the prosecution of its special Work, with 25 per cent. Of the Home Mission collections. The ex penses of the Board, as well of the th nomination would be materially reduced by the general adoption of this plan. We trust, therefore, that those' States which have not yet acted upon this matter will do so promptly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
