Churches are urged to subscribe to the RECORDER under the Every Family Plan for only $2.00 a year for each subscription - or less than the cost of a 4¢ stamp each week for each family in the church. This is the most popular plan and accounts for nearly 50,000 of the more than 77,000 subscribers who get the paper each week.


The Club Plan (four or more subscriptions in the same church) is only $2.50 while individual subscriptions are $3.00. All papers are mailed directly to the sub- scriber regardless of the subscription plan used.


All pastors and Sunday school superintendents receive the paper without cost. Those who are not receiving their complimentary copies of the RECORDER should write to the BIBLICAL RECORDER, P. O. Box 9325, Raleigh, North Carolina. All communications should be sent to the same address.

Church Music


Joe Stroud, 54, Dies; March II, 1977. Chapel Hill Hosp


JOSEPH O. STROUD, Secretary


The purpose of the Department of Church Music is to plan and promote a program of church music education to the end that music may be used more effectively in the worship and Christian education of the churches. To serve in accomplishing this purpose the department sets up a music organization in each of the associations, and a pro- gram of teaching, training, festivals, hymn sings, and con- ferences is carried on through this organization. Twenty- two Regional Directors are enlisted to help in the asso- ciational promotion.


In addition, weeks of music study are offered each summer at the North Carolina Baptist Assembly and Fruit- land Baptist Camp. Five areas of work in the music min- istry of the church are emphasized through the department: Congregational Activities, Choral Activities, Instrumental Activities, Training Activities, and Promotional Activi- ties.


Joseph O. Stroud


The department also works with the other depart- ments in the interest of music - the Sunday School, Training Union, Woman's Mis- sionary Union, Baptist Brotherhood, Vacation Bible School, and the Division of Evangelism. It also works with the Convention's Committee on Order of Business in planning the music for the annual sessions of the Convention.


Joseph O. Stroud is Secretary for the Department which is now in its sixth year of service. The department is anxious to be of help to every church in its ef- forts to develop music appreciation and in the use of music for spiritual ends.

Seminary Extension and Adult Education


ROY J. SMITH, Associate in Missions


This is a program being carried on in Region Ten by e Home Mission Board, the Seminary Extension Depart- ent of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist tate Convention of North Carolina. The purpose is to en- st pastoral and lay leadership in the churches in a learn- g experience designed to stimulate growth and make ore effective their leadership in the churches. The purses of study are offered for these leaders who desire rther study and training but cannot leave home to attend ollege or seminary.


The first season in this missionary venture closed in e spring of 1961. Two hundred and fifty-five persons ere enrolled in seven centers strategically located in even towns in Region Ten of the western section of the tate. Three centers for the negro leadership were organ- ted and will continue to function in succeeding years long with the other centers.


Roy J. Smith


The courses of study offered are New Testament, Old Testament, Preaching, vangelism, Rural Church Development, and Church History. Credit is given by the unday School Board and the Seminary Extension Department when these courses RE COMPLETED. These subjects are taught by competent and approved teachers nce a week for one and two hours, extending over a period of 18 weeks. All the enters do not meet the same night of the week but spread their sessions from Mon- ay through Thursday nights.


The cost to each student is very nominal. Scholarships plus travel are offered those who feel they are unable to pay. A modest honorarium is given to each of he teachers in the centers. The Woman's Missionary Union of North Carolina is ndergirding this new mission work with their prayers and support.


In connection with this work "Learning to Read" classes for adults have been pened in three of the centers and efforts are being made to extend this ministry rough all the centers. This program is being carried on in cooperation with the orld Literacy Movement.

Brotherhood and Royal Ambassadors


CLYDE L. DAVIS, Secretary


The Brotherhood Department is engaged in the sig- nificant task of seeking to enlist Baptist men in every phase of the Baptist program of World Missions. We seek to accomplish this goal through certain programs and activities. The programs are designed to inform men about the mission of the church and to inspire them to dedicate their time, abilities, possessions, and influence to Christ for the accomplishing of this mission. Good programs pro- duce activities which direct men toward personal partici- pation in World Missions. The Brotherhood functions in four major areas of activities: Royal Ambassador, Christ- ian Witnessing, Personal Stewardship, and World Missions. Programs and activities are, in the main, confined to these areas.


Clyde L. Davis Services are offered to the churches through two basic organizations: the state-wide Brotherhood Confer- ence and the Associational Brotherhood organization. In addition to these, there is at least one Brotherhood Leader in each of the ten Regions of the State Convention. They are appointive officers. The Regional Brotherhood Leaders assist the Brotherhood Department in organizing associational Brotherhoods, training associational officers, promoting special events, and presiding at the Annual Regional Brotherhood Conferences.


Officers of the State Brotherhood Conference are elected at the Annual Confer- ence, which meets in October. These officers give state-wide emphasis to Brother- hood programs. They plan the program and preside at the Annual State Brotherhood Conference. The Conference is a fellowship of service with the Brotherhood Depart- ment.

Associational Missions


During and since the New Testament times churches have worked together on basis of "voluntary cooperation." Among Baptists that relationship ultimately k the form of district associations and eventually conventions. Although the first ociation on the North American Continent was organized in Philadelphia, Pa., in 07, it has been only during the last few years that this first unit of denomination- cooperation has begun to be properly emphasized and recognized for its strategic ue in the causes of missions, evangelism, stewardship and Christian programs of elopment for the individual and his church. There are 80 associations in North olina. One aspect of the increasing emphasis upon the association has been the ent of the associational missionary. Today there are 66 of these servants of the d and of the denomination scattered across the state from the Chowan to the nswick, and from the Ashe-Alleghany to the West Liberty. In a few cases two ociations work together and employ one missionary between them. The Conven- gives strong financial support to the Associational Missions Program in most of associations.

More and more North Carolina Baptists are realizing the importance of this hary area of missions. To strengthen the association is to strengthen the whole ominational structure. The associations are interested in being witnesses "both erusalem and in all Judea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost parts of the h." Theirs is a total missionary endeavor.

Cherokee Ministry


MR. BOYD HORTON, Superintendent


Three years ago the work in the Cherokee Indian Res- ervation became a cooperative ministry between the Home Mission Board and the Baptist State Convention. In the new arrangement, the Home Mission Board provides counsel and about one third of the finances for the development of the work. The State Convention provides about two thirds of the financial support and administrative leadership. In the case of Cherokee Mission Church in the town of Cherokee, the congregation provides about 40 per cent of the oper- ational support, and the State Convention and Home Mis- sion Board provide 60 per cent.


Mr. Horton is superintendent of the work in the Chero- kee Association. The pastor of the Mission Church will serve as his associate.


At present there are approximately 6,000 on the Res- ervation. Of this number 1,300 are Baptists comprising 15 congregations.


Mr. Boyd Horton


The new arrangement will make possible a more definite ministry of development with the other 14 churches. This will be the responsibility of the superintendent. Much progress has already been registered, both in the Mission Church and the asso- ciation.

Baptist Jubilee Advance

BAPTISTE JUBILEE ADVANCE


1814-1964


1963 EMPHASIS World Missions


World Missions year will be a year of especial evangelistic effort in all lands where Baptists witness. Emphasis will be given not only to overseas missions, but to mission work being done by the individual churches, associations, state conventions and Home Mission Board.


1963 World Missions Year points to the Year of Ju- bilee in 1964 to be climaxed by the Third Jubilee Cele- bration in Atlantic City, May 19-24, 1964. The first national organization of Baptists in America - The Gen- eral Missionary Convention of the Baptist Denomination in the United States for Foreign Missions - was founded in Philadelphia in 1814, and from its custom of meeting each third year became known as the Triennial Conven- tion. The Baptist movement in America was born in mis- sionary and evangelistic concern. These must continue to be its basic motivations.


Each local church will find its place in the Jubilee Advance spirit by winning the lost people around it, es- tablishing missions where they are needed, sharing worthily in world mission support through the Coopera- tive Program, and by earnest prayer for the members of this great Baptist family all over the world.


1964 THIRD JUBILEE YEAR


This year will mark the 150th anniver- sary of the founding of the "Triennial Convention" in Philiadelphia. There will be a joint meeting of all the con- ventions participating in the Jubilee Advance in Atlantic City in May. Pre- vious to this, all of the particular groups will hold their individual meet- ings in the Atlantic City area.

Foreword


Most of our weaknesses as a great Christian body stem from lack of in- formation and communication. We are most interested in those things we kn w most about, particularly if they vitally affect our dominant interests.


The Baptist State Convention represents in its program of Christian action the prayerful desires of every concerned and cooperative Baptist who is a member of a church in association with other Baptist churches in the Baptist State Convention. The following booklet is designed to provide brief but accurate information about the great world mission activity of North Caro- lina Baptists, and the persons, programs and institutions through which that activity is finding daily expression. Additional information about any phase or department of the work of the Convention will be gladly furnished upon request.


We who are involved in this great array of Kingdom activity are here as the servants of God and North Carolina Baptists. We are not here to get, but to give. We desire not to be ministered unto, but to minister. We are at your service in the spirit of the soverign Lord who said, "Even as the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto but to minister."

SYNOPSIS OF REMARKS OF IRA T. JOHNSON ON HISTORY OF THE ASHE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION, SEVENTY-FIFTH ANNIVERSARY


A knowledge of history is valuable (a) to keep in remembrance the work and rvices of those who blazed the trail in past years;


to endeavor to avoid the mistakes of the past and (c) to gain inspiration from e progress and accomplishments which have been made through the years.


Former Associations to which Churches in Ashe County belonged are (a) Yadkin ssociation to 1799; (b) Mountain Association and Three Forks Association 1799 to 53; (c) Senter Association 1799 to 1853; and (d) New River Association 1870 1886.


The Ashe and Alleghany Association was organized at Buffalo Baptist Church in 86. In 1898, six or seven churches in Alleghany County withdrew and formed the leghany Association.


At one time and in the early days our people were known simply as "Baptists". me of the things that have brought division and the modifying titles of different oups of Baptists were (a) a trained Ministry; (b) Missions; (c) Secret Societies d other organizations; (d) footwashing; (e) alien immersions; (f) Sunday Schools d Sunday School Literature; and (g) pastors salaries. The largest cleavage was ought about by the Civil War when those who sympathized with the North separated emselves from their brethren and became known as Union Baptists.


The leaders of the movement leading to the organization of more progressive ptist Churches and finally to the organization of the Ashe and Alleghany Associa- on as a Missionary Baptist organization were Reverend Aaron Johnson, Rev. Richard entry, Rev. Richard Jacks, Rev. Solomon Trivette, and two prominent laymen were mes Eller and Captain W. H. Gentry.


Ministers and laymen active in the organization of the Ashe and Alleghany sociation in 1886, among others, were Rev. T. M. Honeycutt, Rev. T. M. Duncan, v. J. F. Fletcher, Rev. William Hall, Rev. George W. Greene, Rev. Ira W. Thomas, mes Eller, H. A. Eller and E. L. Tucker.


Among the active pastors who served and sacrificed in the early days of the sociation were Rev. J. F. Fletcher, Rev. Solomon Blackburn, Rev. Elihu Tucker, v. Ezekiel Blevins, Rev. Franklin Barker, and Rev. P. H. Haire.


Leaders of a revival of interest and participants in an Evangelical movement the period of 1912-1920 were Rev. W. R. Bradshaw, a visiting Evangelist from ckory, Revs. George M. Reeves, C. M. Cope and S. C. Blackburn.


The following Brethren have served as Moderators:


mes Eller, Elihu Tucker, J. C. Goodman, S. C. Blackburn, W. E. Denny, and orge West.


e following Brethren have served as Clerks:


. L. Porter, H. A. Eller, J. E. Fletcher, M. M. Blevins, F. R. Jones, J. W. Duncan, .C. Johnston, J.G.Welch, Bryan Oliver, W.A.Campbell, F.L.Barker, C.L.Blevins, .C.Severt, McDaniel Harless.

The Brotherhood Department is engaged in the sig- nificant task of seeking to enlist Baptist men in every phase of the Baptist program of World Missions. We seek to accomplish this goal through certain programs and activities. The programs are designed to inform men about the mission of the church and to inspire them to dedicate their time, abilities, possessions, and influence to Christ for the accomplishing of this mission. Good programs pro- duce activities which direct men toward personal partici- pation in World Missions. The Brotherhood functions in four major areas of activities: Roayl Ambassador, Christ- ian Witnessing, Personal Stewardship, and World Missions.

Clyde L. Davis Services are offered to the churches through two basic organizations: the state-wide Brotherhood Conven- tion and the Associational Brotherhood organization. In addition to these, there is at least one Brotherhood Advisor in each of the ten Re- gions of the State Convention. They are appointive officers. The Regional Brother- hood Advisors assist the Brotherhood Department in organizing associational Bro- therhoods, training associational officers, promoting special events, and presiding at the Annual Regional Brotherhood Conventions.


Officers of the state-wide Brotherhood Convention are elected at the Annual Convention, which meets in October. These officers give state-wide emphasis to Brotherhood programs, plan the program, and preside at the Annual state-wide Brotherhood Convention. The Convention is a fellowship of service with the Brother- hood Department.
