OUR CO-OPERATION WITH OTHER CONVENTION AGENCESS
The Board has continued co-operative relationships with other de
agencies during the year:
A Convention Budget was authorized for 1945, and an obligation of a
monthly contribution of $5,000.00 to the Executive Committee was placed on
the Sunday School Board as its pro rata share of that Budget. Out of that
amount the Committee makes a contribution to the work fostered by the Baptist
Brotherhood of the South; to the Baptist World Alliance; and as a fixed
Convention expense provides for the various Committee meetings during the
year. Previously, these items had been taken care of directly by our Board.
In addition to the $60,000.00 contributed to the Executive Committee, the
Board continues to provide their headquarters.
A contribution of $3,200.00 was made to the Woman's Missionary Union for
its rent and general expenses.
The Board has continued its contribution of $1,200.00 each to the W.M.U.
Training School, Louisville; Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort
Worth, and the Baptist Bible Institute, New Orleans, to enable them to maintain
a helpful course of study along the lines of work committed to us.
Nine $100.00 scholarships have been continued to the American Baptist
Theological Seminary, Nashville: six of them to be used by worthy Negro
ministers at the Seminary, and three to be used by worthy women students in
the Training School of DISPOSITION that institution. or OUR EARNINGS
