Excerpt from Minutes of the Fifty-Third Annual Session of the Union Baptist Association: Held With Dethlehem Church, Pickens County, Ala;, September 22nd, 23rd, 24th, 1888 There have been employed by us through these three boards, for a part or all of their time, 478 Missionaries who have rendered about weeks of service, during which time they have preached over ser mons, made over religious visits, constituted about 330 churches, baptized received by letter 3,066, distributed largely over bibles and testaments, established schools and colleges, printing houses, and numberless ways set in motion influences that will bless mankind and glorify God forever. This is the work, which you, by your prayers and contributions, have been doing the past year. The sun never sets on your work. The future is big with promises. God has said of His Word, it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. He has said to us, go ye into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature and he that believeth and is baptized shall be saved. The cry comes from every part of our field send us more Missionaries. Brethren, we have the gospel, shall we give it to them? Will you help?
