THE BAPTISTS

Meeting of the First Association at Payette.

IT IS A PROFITABLE SESSION

Ten Churches Represented and Ten New Churches Admitted Into the Organization.

The 13th session of the First Baptist Association of Idaho, convened in this 
city on the evening of September 22d.  A permanent organization was perfected 
by the election of Rev. I. S Hicks, of Caldwell, moderator; Mrs. B. F. Cook, of 
Boise, Clerk; C. Ellsworth, of Boise, treasurer.

Representation of the ten churches of the association were present, and ten new 
churches were received in the organization.

The work of the body continued until Sabbath evening with preaching by the 
pastors of the various churches.  

The reports indicate much prosperity and three new houses of worship in process 
of erection.

Great interest was taken in the discussion of the reports of committees on 
House and Foreign Missions, Sabbath schools, etc.

The report of Rev. J. C. Burroughs, general missionary, indicated a year full 
of earnest, consecrated and successful labor.

As to who the appointee for his work the ensuing year will be, it not yet 
decided, but it is understood an appointment will be made at an early day.  The 
sum of $350 was raised during the sitting of the body toward defraying expenses.

On Sabbath afternoon a Sabbath-school convention was organized to meet annually 
in connection with the association, or oftener, in the interest of Sabbath 
schools.

By request of his church at Portland, the ministers of the association ordained 
to the full work of the ministry Rev. B. Frank Lynn.  This gentleman will 
proceed at once to Bellevue to take charge of the church at that place.

The next meeting of this body will be held with the church at Boise City, one 
year from this.

Great harmony and brotherly kindness was displayed in this meeting and the 
parting hand Sabbath evening was grasped with much regret.
