REPORT A.
Report of the Committee on the deficiency of Ministerial labors.
The Committee to whom was refered the subject of the "deficiency of
Ministerial labors in the Churches," beg leave to make the following Re¬
port :
Your Committee hope they feel deeply sensible of the great importance of
the subject to which their attention has been called, and are gratified to find,
that some attention was bestowed upon it at the last session of your body.—
And we trust it may never be lost sight of in the Churches, until a healthy
and efficient action shall be attained ; until the Body of Christ be edified, and
his ministers delivered from secular business and worldly cares, to serve con¬
tinually in his holy temple.
Whereas it is a lamentable fact that there is so great a destitution of min¬
isterial labor and ministerial support; and whereas many of the churches
complain of leanness and barrenness ; and whereas in but very few, have
additions been made to any extent, during the last Associational year, we
would take occasion to recommend to the Churches, a more solemn consid¬
eration of those means, in the use of which it is pleasing to God, to pour out
upon his churches the blessings of his grace. Among these we would affec¬
tionately remind the churches, of their duty to water with their prayers the
stated ministry of the word; to adopt the best measures they can, to procure
a more abundant supply of pastoral labor in their families; and more particu¬
larly, would we urge upon the deacons to see that such provision is made for
the support of their ministers, as will enable them to devote the whole of
7
their time to the service of the churches they attend. It is to be feared that
the Lord of the harvest has not been pleased to answer the prayers of his
church, to send more laborers into his harvest, because tiiose already in the
field have not been better sustained. We would moreover, recommend that
Friday before the third Sabbath in May next, be observed as a day of fast¬
ing and prayer, that the Lord would not only send more laborers into his har¬
vest, but that He would put it into the hearts of His people to sustain those
already in the field, revive all our churches, and aud abundantly to their
numbers such as shall be saved.
We would also take occasion to mention while on this subject, though not
so directly connected with our duties, that we are happy to learn, that there
is ample provision in the hands of the Convention, for the education of indi¬
gent young brethren, engaged in the Ministry, who have not the means of
their own, and there are funds too, to supply with books, brethren who are
unable to purchase, and who may not have it in their power to prosecute a
regular course of study at school.
(U** Brethren of the Georgia Baptist Association, upon the subject of the
above report, do not stop with paper work! Do not suffer this matter to lie
as a dead letter in your minutes! THE CLERK.
REPORT B.
Report of the Committee on the Decease of Ministers.
The duty assigned your committee is both painful and pleasing in its
nature. Ministers are like angels of mercy appointed to bless the world,
and their removal is as the withdrawment of heaven's best gift. But
when their pourse and end have been such, as to justify them in exclaim¬
ing, in the language of the inspired Apostle, while the lamp of life glim¬
mers in its socket, "I have fought the good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith, henceforth there is laid up for me a crown
of glory which the Lord, the Righteous Judge shall give unto me," it
becomes us to rejoice in God, that grace was afforded them, not only to
preach the unsearchable riches of Christ, but also to be faithful unto death,
that they might receive the crown of life.
These remarks are applicable to the two beloved brethren who have
been called to their rest during the past Associational year. The first
of these was our beloved brother F. S. Taylor. Called to labor in the
Gospel field late in life, and confined chiefly to one spot, his worth was
known to comparatively few; but we are persuaded, his memory will
long be cherished by those for whose salvation he labored. Scarcely
had his mortal remains been deposited with their kindred dust, ere the
voice from heaven was again heard in reference to our beloved brother
Jack Lumpkin, "saying write blessed are the dead that die in the Lord."
Called by the grace of God at comparatively an early period in life, in
his vigor and prime he entered with all his heart andisoul into the Lord s
vineyard, and his labors were highly acceptable and abundantly useful.
Not willing to take things on trust, he searched the sacred Scriptures as
3
for hidden treasures, and penetrated deep into the mines of Gospel
truth. He preached the doctrines of the Gospel practically, and his
Sermons generally, were characterized by a deep and rich experience
of the things of God.
In reference to these departed servants of Jesus Christ, we may with
the utmost propriety say, they were both sanctified in the furnace of af¬
fliction, and now have joined that glorious company before the throne of
God, of whom it is said, "They came out of great tribulation and have
washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb."
We deeply sympathise with the bereaved Churches, and families, and
friends of the deceased, and earnestly commend them to the care and
protection of infinite love.
Respectfully submitted by the Committee.

REPORT D.
The Committee on Education beg leave to submit the Following Re¬
port :
Your Committee deem it a matter worthy of pleasing and grateful no¬
tice, that the subject of education is beginning to assume that place in the
estimation of the Baptists of Georgia, which its great importance !o the
interests of the rising generation demands. It is also a matter of pleasing
reflection that the incipient efforts which have been made to sustain this
cause have been so successful. The Lord has most signally smiled upon
our plans, and by the marked and obvious indications of his providence,
invites us to move unitedly and vigorously onward. The condition and
prospects of the Mercer University, the child of many prayers, and much
pious labor and solicitude, are as encouraging as its most anxious and
devoted friends could in reason have expected. The present year there
have been in both departments about one hundred students, most of whom
have been highly distinguished for their orderly, moral deportment, acd
their diligent application to study. The Examination and Exhibition in
Julylast were of the most satisfactory character, and commanded the ad¬
miration of a large and intelligent audience who attended on the occasion.
12
The Faculty appear to have been indefatigable in their labors; and what
we regard as peculiarly worthy of notice, and that which has greatly en¬
hanced the value of their services, they have been peculiarly devoted to
the spiritual interests of their pupils, whilst they have diligently labored
for their intellectual improvement. Nor have their pious anxieties been
in vain. Their many prayers, in connexion with the supplications of
other Christian friends have been answered in the hopeful conversion of a
large number of the pupils of the Institution during the present year.—
"We record this fact with sentiment? of lively gratitude and praise to God,
and as an indication of favor, which, in connexion with the many similar
favors previously bestowed upon our infant Seminary, is calculated to
inspire the assurance that our efforts are pleasing to the Lord, and that
for Christ's sake, he will prosper the labors of our hands. At least one
half of the present number of students are hopefully pious, and several
of them feel constrained to devote themselves to the work of the Gospel
Ministry.
The additional officers appointed in July last have signified their ac¬
ceptance, and will in a few months enter upon the duties of their respec¬
tive departments. Bro. Otis Smith, who has had much experience in the
business of instruction, and who has long been known as one of the most
thorough and successful teachers in the Southern States, after the pres¬
ent yeaV, is to be the President of the Institution. The other members
of the Faculty will be as follows : Adiel Sherwood, Prof. of Sacred
Literature, and Moral Philosophy; Robert Tolefree, Prof, of Chemistry,
and the kindred Sciences; Albert Williams, Prof, of Ancient Languages;
and J. W. Attaway, and S. P. Sanford, Assistant Professors. These
gentlemen will constitute a highly respectable Faculty, to whose hands
parents and guardians, may commit, with the greatest confidence, the in¬
tellectual and moral training of their children and wards. It might be
stated in this connexion that a good philosophical and chemical Apparatus
has been purchased, and that the earliest possible means will be used for
the improvement of the College Library.
The prospects of the Female Seminary at Penfield are also e.ncoorag-
ing. The Trustees of that Institution have secured the services of Prof.
Pierce, as the Principal of the Literary and Scientific department, and
Prof. Chase, as the principal Music Teacher—gentlemen of the highest
?■ respectability and standing in their respective spheres of labor. These
eminent teachers, with three competent Female assistants, who have al¬
ready been engaged,and a respectable Apparatus, will he enabled to ren¬
der the School equal to the best in our country, and well worthy of the
patronage of the public. Parents who wish to secure for their daughters
a thorough education, and upon reasonable terms, would do well to send
them to Penfield. ^
In speaking of the advantages of the two Institutions at Penfielfl, it
13
must not be forgotten that the community around is deeply devoted to
their interests, and is of a decidedly religious character. Indeed we
know of no place in the State of Georgia, where there are in operation
»o many influences favorable to the proper formation of the moral, reli¬
gious and intellectual character of our sons and daughters.
It might not be improper to state in this Report for the information of
our Brethren, that a Manual Labor School has been established in Floyd
County, under the direction of our denomination, which promises great
usefulness to the section of country in which it is located. The Trustees
intend to make ita first-rate High School. Eight Thousand Dollars have
already been subscribed, a valuable Tract of Land secured, suitable
houses for the accommodation of the students have been commenced, and
will soon be in readiness; and a benevolent individual has given his pledge
that he will leave for the Institution from his own Estate the sum of $12,-
500. During the past summer the Lord was pleased to pour out his
Spirit upon the school, and gather into his fold nearly every one of the
larger Students. We would commend this Seminary to the favorable
notice, and the fervent prayers of all our brethren.
In conclusion, your Committee would say, we have abundant occasion
to thank God, and take courage. Let us endeavor to live under the in¬
fluence of the apostolic exhortation, "be ye sledfast, unmoveable, always
abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your la¬
bor is not in vain in the Lord."
