ASHE MISSIONARY BAPTIST REPORT OF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
The executive committee met the first Thursday night in each quarter during the past year. Each meeting was of special interest as the current needs of the association were discussed thoroughly by committee members.
The Ashe Seminary Extension Center was organized and sponsored cooperatively by the executive committee, the Semi- nary Extension Department of the Southern Baptist Semi- naries, the Baptist State Convention, the Ashe Baptist Min- isterial Association and the officials of the Ashe Baptist As- sociation. The following officials were appointed:
Director Rev. S. S. Graybeal Registrar and Treasurer Mr. Guy Shatley
Teachers Rev. A. B. Frazier, Rev. Rexford Campbell
The first semester began with an enrollment of 28. Twen- ty-six of those enrolled finished courses in Old and New Testa- ment History, Religious Education and Preparation of Ser- mons. The next semester October 18, 1957.
January 27th was designated as associational mission Sun- day and all churches were requested to take an offering for associational missions. The results were gratifying.
Mr. Wade E. Vannoy, Jr. donated a room in the Vannoy building at West Jefferson for an associational office. It has been partially equipped with office furniture purchased from funds raised by the executive committee.
The committee makes the following recommendations:
That the Ashe Baptist Association of Missionary Baptist churches now in session:
1. Approve the Ashe Baptist Seminary Extension Center as a permanent institution.
2. Designate the second Sunday in January as Association- al Missions Day and ask the churches to take an offering on this date for Associational Missions.
3. Impower the moderator to appoint a committee to nom- inate a director of music to work in cooperation with the De- partment of Church Music of the N. C. Baptist State Conven- tion, promoting both vocal and appropriate instrumental music in our churches
4. Advise the churches to operate under the budget system as advocated by the Baptist State Board and to increase their pastor's salary by a substantial margin (i. e. at least twenty .per cent).
5. That the association approve as an official guide in all matters not covered by the "Rules of Order of the Association," "Kerfoot's Parliamentary Law," used by the North Carolina Baptist State Convention.
Respectfullv submitted, S. S. Graybeal, Chairman of Executive Committee.

Associational Missions
During and since the New Testament times churches have worked together on the basis of "voluntary cooperation." Among Baptists that relationship ultimately took the form of district associations and eventually conventions. Although the first association on the North American Continent was organized in Philadelphia, Pa., in 1707 , it has been only during the last few years that this first unit of denomination- al cooperation has begun to be properly emphasized and recognized for its strategic value in the causes of missions, evangelism, stewardship and Christian programs of development for the individual and his church. One aspect of the increasing em- phasis upon the association has been the advent of the associational missionary. Today there are 57 of these servants of the Lord and of the denomination scattered across the state from the Chowan to the Brunswick, and from the Ashe-Alleghany to he West Liberty. In a few cases two associations work together and employ one missionary between them. To undergird this associational approach, the State Con- vention is maintaining two general missionaries, one in the west and one in the east. In addition it is assisting in the salary support of most of the associational missionaries.

Annual Workshop for Associational Missionaries
More and more North Carolina Baptists are realizing the importance of this primary area of missions. To strengthen the association is to strengthen the whole denominational structure. The associations are interested in being witnesses "both in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the earth." Theirs is a total missionary endeavor.

Division of Church Programs
Director
AN INTRODUCTION
The Division of Church Programs embraces a wide variety of activities. The are: Sunday School Department, Training Union Department, Department of Student Work, Department of Church Music, Church Planning Department, Assemblies and Camps, Brotherhood and Royal Ambassador Department, and all projects which a directly related to the programs of the local church
These departments, with skilled, competent staffs, are quietly performing in- dispensable ministries in the churches and associations of the denomination fifty- two weeks a year. Southern Baptists are extremely fortunate in having in the Sunda School Board the most highly developed and effective agency in America for th carrying out of the purposes of enlistment, education and promotion in and through local churches. The Sunday School Board, with its highly trained staff of experts in the fields of Sunday School, Training Union, Church Music, Student Work, bod stores, assemblies, family life, education, architectural consultation, etc., is co stantly studying and experimenting in methods and materials, seeking to provide the best of both for the churches. Through the State Convention organizations the mic istries of the Sunday School Board are transmitted to the churches and association and assistance is provided in training leadership skilled in their use. These pr grams have been the secret of the phenomenal growth of Southern Baptists. Almost every department of work in the Sunday School Board has its counterpart in the State Convention organization. From these state organizations assistance goes of to the local communities.
We proudly present these various programs, with their staffs, in the following pages.
Sunday School
HERMAN IHLEY, Secretary
The Sunday School Department seeks to help the local church in its endless task of reaching, teaching, winning, and developing people for Christian discipleship through Bible study.
Its primary function is to discover, develop, and promote principles and methods for organizing new units, and to enlarge and improve existing Sunday Schools, Va- cation Bible schools, church kindergartens, and week- day Bible study projects in the churches.
The program consists of the following activities: director and pastor-led enlargement campaigns in the asso- ciations, Vacation Bible school clinics, both state and associational; the promotion of the Church Study Course for Teaching and Training which is designed to offer valu- able assistance to all teachers and officers; Bible teach- ing clinics; enlargement efforts in churches preparing to

per pastor of $811.24 or an average per church of $473.22. This breaks down to an average per resident member of $7.11 or 50 1/4e per month or less than 2c per day. The stark truth revealed by these figures may be understood if we remember that this figure is less than the maxi- mum allowed by the Department of Public Welfare for a man and wife (a family of two) to have the minimum necessities of life! This in the face of the fact that many of our preachers have two or more children!
The upshot of all this is three-fold: (1) We are disobedient children both as laymen and as pastors, as laymen in that we force our preachers to seek s cuiar employment to help support their families (it costs preachers as much to live as anyone else) and as preachers in that they have permitted us to do this. (2) Our peachers cannot become mem- bers of the retirement system on such salaries. In old age they must look to other sources for their support, and (3) Our churches are suf- fering for the leadership to which they are entitled by God-called preachers. After all, to what did God call them? To the ministry or to the farm, store or business?
Let's get this matter on our hearts and become obedient to the scripture mentioned above and see a new day dawn for our churches in the Ashe Baptist Association.

NORTH CAROLINA BAPTIST HOMES FOR AGING BY JAMES M. HAYES, GENERAL SUPERINTENDENT
The Homes For Aging are now in their eighth year of operation- Resthaven opened March 16, 1951; the Albemarle Home, December 7, 1953; and the Administration Building, Winston-Salem, June 13, 1957. The three Homes have facilities for 119-counting residents and help- ers. The average number of residents will exceed 100.
Efforts were launched in June to raise $100,000 to match a gift of Mr. Don G. Matthews, Sr., of $50,000 and land on which to build a fourth Home For The Aging to be located at Hamilton, Martin County. It is expected that the campaign will be successfully completed this year, and the construction of the new Home will then begin. This Home will provide facilities for approximately forty residents, giving a total capacity for all three Homes of 150 persons.
The Homes have had a good year financially. The auditors' report for the year ending September 30, 1957 showed that the income was $268.924.58. When the new Administration Building was ready for oc- cupancy, $103 C00 was borrowed to finish paying for construction and equipment. All of this has been repaid except $20,000. Funds receiv- ed from the Special Day Offering and the Cooperative Program have helped to meet the current cost of operation. The Homes have also re- ceived help from individual and corporation gifts. The largest indivi- dual gift for the year was $40,000.
A large number of the residents have been aided financially. Less than ten per cent of the residents have given to the Homes assets suf- ficint to pay their cost of keep for life. Thirteen residents have paid

They Saw I Loved Them"
Teaching Mountain Preachers Was Delight to J. C. Canipe
"I came from common people, and I know common people," asserted Dr. I. C. Canipe as he discussed changes which have occurred among Baptists in denominational structures during his 60 years in the ministry. "The theology of Baptists hasn't changed much," he declared, "but there have been tre- mendous improvements in attitudes to- ward a cooperative ministry."
Canipe, the founder of Fruitland Baptist Bible Institute, started teaching rural mountain preachers in his study while he was pastor of First Church, Boone. "They saw that I loved them," said the 83 year old retired Fruitland Director, "and they asked me if I would teach them." He soon had to move his eager pupils out of his study into a church classroom as the number increased, and before transferring to the Fruitland campus he was regularly teaching up to 60 men, coming from surrounding areas in both North Caro- lina and Tennessee.
Broke Down Prejudice
He said he was initially ridiculed by some of his friends for his efforts. "They referred to my pupils as 'that little bunch of ignoramuses Canipe is teaching'," he said. When this reached the ears of the pupils he told them, "They may say you are ignorant, but you don't have to remain that way!" They were determined not to, and they continued studying until they were able to fill their pulpits with grace and hon- or. Canipe never referred to these sin- cere and God-called men as being ig- norant.
One of the most significant changes resulting in this ministry has been the breakdown of prejudice on the part of an educated versus an un- educated ministry, says Canipe. This prejudice worked both ways, for semi- nary graduates felt these men could never effectively serve churches, and these men were certain seminary graduates had been brainwashed of true Biblical theology, and were there- fore denying the faith. This ministry brought them together, and they dis- covered they were brothers in Christ, working for a common cause.
Canipe, a 1918 graduate of Wake Forest and a 1922 graduate of South- ern Seminary, has served from janitor
in a Baptist church all the way to presi- dent of the N. C. Convention. He has had only three pastorates since semi- nary days, all of them lengthy. While director of Fruitland Bible Institute, he also served as director of evangelism for the Convention. OVER

prougnt Changes
Graduates of Fruitland brought about great changes in churches they served, says the octogenarian. "Moun- tain people learned through them that cooperative Baptists are not wild ani- mals," he declares, "and they no longer blame the whole Convention just be- cause of a blunder made by one of its employees." He feels that Fruitland has been a bridge to understanding, and that traffic has moved both ways in accomplishing this. Its greatest strides have been in reaching churches with small memberships, in a denomination primarily made up of small churches.
When the Convention assumed re- sponsibility for the institute, it was sim- ply called "Fruitland Preachers School." Later through study and rec- ommendation of a committee of the General Board, it was upgraded to Bible Institute status. Designed to train men called late in life for the ministry, or those without adequate educational background to be accepted in college or seminary, the institute offers a cur- riculum paralleling much of what might be gained in one of these institutions. It seeks to provide whatever is needed by the student, and prepares him for an effective pastoral ministry.
Pastors Attend Convention
Through his Fruitland influence Ca- nipe always advised churches to send their pastors to both state and Southern Baptist Convention meetings so they could return to inform the people. This has become common practice in both small and large churches today. He has seen attitudes change, and Co- operative Program giving increased through the influences of Fruitland. He once made a survey of C. P. giving in churches of its students before and after they came to the institute, and the increases were impressive.
With mustache and long hair, Ca- nipe is a distinguished looking retired minister who has bent to the styles of
DR. J. C. CANIPE and his daughter Mrs. T. W. Bailey.
today's generation, just as he stayed touch with mountain ministers su rounding him when teaching them at Boone and at Fruitland. He presently lives with his daughter, Mrs. T. V (Frances) Bailey, 8324 Raintree Lane, Matthews, N. C. 28105.
He says the biggest change in Bay tist life is the change from pure demoe racy to representative democracy in most of our churches.
