Report On Resolutions Of Savannah River Association


The Committee to whom was referred the communication of the Savannah River Association recommending new efforts for the evangelization of the colored people at the South, propose the adoption of the following resolution on the subject:

RESOLVED, That our Southern Baptist ministry and churches be invited and urged to contribute, as far as lies in their power, to this important and vital interest. Institutes for the instruction of the colored preachers, contributions to aid those who desire to study for the ministry, and personal effort in the colored Sunday schools are the most available measures now within our reach. Contributions also made to the Home Mission Board will be wisely and promptly expended for the support of missionaries among the colored people.

The elaborate report already adopted in regard to the Duty of Southern Baptists to the Colored Race, renders it unnecessary that any further suggestions should now be made.
