-----
State Mission Day.
-----

       Sunday was state mission day at the First Baptist church, and the showing made is highly gratifying to the pastor and the mission workers.  The sum of $550 was pledged, and, as the pastor remarks, "there are several more counties to hear from."
       Rev. Andrews' sermon was appropriate to the occasion and was highly convincing in its nature.  The collection is considered splendid under all the circumstances, and compares most favorably with the best of previous years.
