Protestants Working for Catholics

CRITICISM of the action of the World’s Missionary Conference at Edinburgh in declining representation to Protestant missions in Catholic countries is still heard. Some of the Baptist journals have taken serious exception to this action of that conference. At the Southern Baptist Convention, which has been in session during the last few weeks, the following resolutions were passed according to the Western Recorder of May 30, 1912:—

Whereas, The Edinburgh Missionary Conference expressly agreed to exclude all mention of Protestant and Baptist missions in papal lands; and,—

Whereas, The Lord has blessed and is so richly blessing our missions in papal countries; therefore—

Be it resolved, That Southern Baptists, in convention assembled, disown any and all part in such agreement, and that we reaffirm our time-honored contention that papal countries present an opportunity and an obligation for Southern Baptist missions.
