 ZEAL FOR GOD. 
 
 The circular letter of the nova scotia central bai'tisti 
 
 association, to the churches of which it is composed. 
 Dear Brethren, — 
 
 In this our day the wants of the people are many, and fli«| 
 continual demand is projrress, yet one is led to cry as did tlie wise 
 man of" old, 'there is nothing new under the sun' Hut injiny may 
 say, " See what the mind and intcllijience of man hath wrought." 
 Who caUv-od those hu<re leviathans with iron sides more compact 
 than those of which Job boasted, '^ind whose internal power and 
 movement can cause them to plough the ocean against the cliaiigind 
 wind and tide? Has he not encircled the globe as it were with a 
 epinal cord, so as to tell from one continent to another, the tlumuhts 
 and actions of kings and kingdoms, by a messenger of lighiiiing 
 speed, which, as quick as the flashes of thought are indicated, hears 
 them away beneath the ocean's bosom, or over the steep and rocky 
 mountains, through forests thick, dark, an<l lonesome, to iiinke 
 known the commands or demands of one mind to another! Thus 
 on every side are seen thj signs of progress. Carriages are whirled I 
 at fairy speed to help in developing the skill and resths-ness ofj 
 niati ; and aias as in days of yore not a few are lifted up tliereby,r 
 taking glory to themselves, sa;ying, " See this great Haljyhm which Ij 
 have l)uidled," wliilst others make success tiieir God, and (itlertflj 
 moans, as did the heathen in olden time, to their drag and to iheiriietJ 
 instead of acknowledging tne God of means. Yet this is tliej 
 tendency of the day, self laudation, avaunting of subtle reasoningj 
 and s(»-ealled |)hilosophy, instead of the gospel of Clirist Itej 
 finding of a few bones and man's surmises tliereon, will lead! 
 thousands to sliake their heads and look wiser than Sol-nion. and! 
 give a doubtful gliince at what Moses wrote, seeing as they think,! 
 that the remains of pre-historic man are in their grasp, wliich sikmI 
 may be proved as authentic as the Kanassa pre-historic skiilll 
 that when first found and exhibiLed, caused no small stir and! 
 discussion ; it was pre-historic of a truth, for when it> history wasi 
 made known by one a little wiser than the rest, it was proved tul 
 a fossil shell, so that Moses' account of Adam and Eve will noil 
 hurt thereby. 
 
 Whil.>t we know that "it pleased God by the fooli.slmc'^ 
 preaching to save them that believe," it is our duty to lake heed le 
 wo preach foolishly. May our theme ever be Christ and liim «iii<'i'i 
 the Al|)ha and Omega, the begiinier and ender. If the trinnp 
 give a certain sound, loyal men will be fouud to do battle, aud m

 Forpettinpr that Christ is the end of the law for righteotjsness to 
 every one that believeth." 
 
 Look at the zral of idolators on Carmel. how they leap upon the 
 alt«r. They cry ahind ' O Html hear us,' and as if to move his npathj 
 they ' cut themselves after iheir manner with knives and laiieetj,' 
 till the Idood gu«hed out.' 
 
 INIoloch's fiery arms were not too hot, or their children's lives so I 
 precious, but Israel impelled by supeistitious zeal, could ca:«t their 
 loved ones a living sarrifice into the devouring tire. Being ii.s Paul 
 said. '• Kxceetiin^ily zealous of the trnditioris of t^^eir fathers.* 
 
 " Behold what the zeal of a false prophet has done, his spirit fired] 
 millions and lives through generations. We may despise the 
 religion of the Brahmins of India, and the Buddhists of China, and 
 laugh at the absurdities of the Koran, yet here we see the sad and 
 denioral zing effect of error sown by misdirected zealots, continuing 
 after many days, and hearing, like some mighty flood, multimdesj 
 away from God and th;) truth. IMany laughed ai the audacity and 
 folly of Joe Smith and his doctrine, yet how many were ready, to 
 follow him, leaving kindred and home, to reach the city, the joys of 
 which he and his followers so glowingly described. 
 
 Again, within the memory of all. Riiua'ism was with zeal advocated 
 and liioiight to the front by Dr. Pusey and a few others and 
 although greatly opposed at first, it has mt'de its way not only into 
 the universities, b'.Jt from one end of Britain to the other. In village | 
 and city you will find, that for which our fathers of the Reformation 
 counted not their lives dear to deny and destroy, even popery. 
 True her f«)rm U modified, but for the better insertion of the wedge. 
 Is the zeal of infidels and sceptics departed ? or rather have ilitynot 
 left their outpoken maimer, thinking to take more by giiile ? Are 
 they not seeking to undermine our faith in God's word ? Tliey will find 
 dangerous woik, driving this tunnel will cost the woiker's liie, lor 
 nothing can separate the Christian church from Chii>t, for the j 
 attraction of God's love is so powerful that they who seek to diviil, 
 need take care lest they be ground to powder by the ' stone cut oui 
 of the mountains without hands.' 
 
 If then false and mi.s-directed zeal has done so much, are not all 
 things possible to us who believe in an infallible God, and more ^ure 
 word of prophecy ? If the zeal of the Lord was with us, as in our 
 Master Christ, would anythintr be too hard, and brethren would not 
 our success extend to regions beyond, and many souls be won tor 
 Christ ? 
 
 In the tir.'st place I would use the exhortation as given Kcv. iii 
 19, ' Be zealous therefore.' For who would predict a scholarship! 
 for the truant school boy, the merchants' wealth and position for 
 the sloven and dilatory cierk, the skill of the cunning workman to 
 the idle apprentice, or the groaning waggon and bur-ting barn to the 
 slothful farmer ? And if in this sense, *the hand of the diligent inHkeili 
 rich,' is it not more needful that the ambas.-adors of Christ .-hould 
 be in earnest? Has the enemy taken possession of our King anil

 shall we be quiet, crying ' peace, peace, v/here there is no peact?' Or 
 
 would it not rather be more worthy of us to defy the tyrant's 
 
 power, and proclaim, in our Lord a.'d Saviour's name, 'liberty to 
 
 the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound?' 
 
 Should not the zeal of the Lord of Ilo-ts do this, and even more, 
 
 'making us (lissati?n<'d with any and every partial reformation, and 
 
 ur^injr us to a thorough cleansing of God's temple from worldliness 
 
 and those who are therein as money-changers au'I sellers of doves? 
 
 II'Cliri.-<t commands by precept, how mucii more should his example 
 
 [stir to h(»ly zeal ? We re.'td in the histoiy of Rome, that when 
 
 Brutus killed Caesar, that his friend Marcns Anoniiis brouij;ht the 
 
 I body into the forum, and there exposing tlie emperor's wounds to 
 
 [the peop'e, he read his will, and in inipa'>ioned words set forth his 
 
 good deeds, !-o that the people's indignation was roused lo madness 
 
 \m\i\>t the murdeiers of Cassar. If Antonius was tlius able to stir 
 
 I the Uomans, because an opppres-or was .-lain by the hand of an as- 
 
 >assin, how much more sliouKl every power and sympathy be 
 
 |rou?ed into action as we contemplate the scene enacted on Canary? 
 
 remembering the Victim thus afflicted was more than ' a g(»od man,' 
 
 For>uchliis obedience and character that the heavens must be 
 
 opened and allow the dove, emblematical of purity and of the spirit 
 
 that re.-ted upon and dwelt within him to descend, as the voice 
 
 of God was heard declaring, ' This is my beloved Son in whom I am 
 
 [well pleased.' This was the Mes>ial: of whom Daniel declared " he 
 
 Isliall be cut off but not for him.-elf,' it was ♦ this same Jesus,' of 
 
 Iwbom the [)rophet Isaiah saith 'he was wounded for our transgre.<sions 
 
 land bruised for our iniquiiies,' he bore stripes lor onr healing, not 
 
 Ibecause of fault lound in him. but on account of our sin which was 
 
 limputed to him, he was numbered among ' the transgres-ors,' not 
 
 llhat he had done anything ami>s, but that we might have one able 
 
 Itomake intercession for us who had transgressed. 
 
 If the zeal and love of Chri>t towards us was such as to enable 
 lliim to say, when he knew that into the offered cup was compressed 
 Itlie bitterness of death, the wormwood of sin, and that therein was 
 [the penalty of the sin, not of one, but of many, ' Not my will but 
 Tthine be done,' and knowing the Father's will, he was ready to be 
 ^ffered a sacrifice for sin, and, whiUt men mocked and mad«^ sport 
 pf God's Lamb, his la-t breathings were, ' Father forgive i hem for 
 khey know not what they do?' surely ' we whose souls are lighted 
 wi>dom from on hi;;h,' sho'dd determine that Christ shall be 
 JDiir thenie, his life and love our stimulus to persevere unto the end, 
 knowing the end of our faith is the salvation of our souls,' and 
 phat'our labour is not ii vain in the Lord.' For the seed we sow 
 ife receive from God, who also giveih the increase, and by the sun 
 [igtit of his face, and the influence of his Spirit ripens it for the 
 arvest. When many a tearful sower shall receive a glad surprise 
 111 seeing his sheaves gathered by angelic reapers, and numbered to 
 »'> account by the Lord of the harvest, he will take pleasure in 
 
14 
 
 nil who hnve flono what they could,' for not only shall the woman» 
 mite and alabaster box be written in the eternal record, but in GojJ 
 book of remembrance every good word and work shall find a pliiccj 
 to i)e revealed at the last day to the piaifce of Ili-^ grace ' wlio hitli 
 called us' and made us ' zealous of good works ' This zeal as to ii'l 
 source is from (iod. lie is the sustainer thereof by his grace. Fori 
 were it merely of the flesh and not of Gdd, we should find on cros>iiij| 
 Jordan 'our lamps are pone out' and ourselves among the unpniiitJ 
 able h-ervants, who will have received their wages in this life. ' But! 
 not so those who have been zealous for the Loi'd. becau>e of'liistiral 
 love to tliem. for our every effort will be owned. he that hath used well 
 his one talent shall hear, ' Well done good and faithful servant.' aJ 
 much as he t' at hail five. Let us then brethren be in labours morel 
 abundant, remembering Jesus who for the joy set before iiimj 
 endurtd the cross. It is related that a higldand chief McGreiiorj 
 who fell mortally wounded at Pre>ton Pans seeing bis clan waverj 
 he raised himself as his life's blood gushed forth and cried aloud.' 
 am not dead children, I am looking to see you do your duty.' llisj 
 word' acted as a cliarm. ' And is there not a charm te thee Ol 
 believer, in the fact that thou art contending in the battle fitld of| 
 life, under the eye of thy Saviour." 
 
 Let us endure hardness as good soldiers of the Lord Jesus Christy 
 
 knowing He liveth not only to make intercession, but to sup|il 
 
 daily grace. Let it be said by us as the little drummer boy saidJ 
 
 writing from the Crimea to his mother, ' there are diflicultie.> anf 
 
 trials, but mother, its our duty, and for duty we will die.' Lttui 
 
 do valiantly as did the English when pent in the rock of Gibruliarj 
 
 for we are told they fired red hot shot and thus destroyt'd iha 
 
 enemy's fleet, so let us in our preaching and woik be zealous oi 
 
 jealous as in Hebrew it might be literally rendered 'glowing lire! 
 
 from a root signifiying deep I'ed, and then it will be said of u>. nsij 
 
 is of many whom time would fail us t'- mention, he ' being deuJyej 
 
 speaketli .' As Paul whose li\ing voice proclaimed sakation uiitj 
 
 many, yet Paul st 11 preaches and it v.as his sermons which Kil 
 
 Luther and Zwingle and many kindred souls, ' into the <^h\'m 
 
 liberty of the gospel of God.' Luther is dead but the Ritornialc 
 
 lives, Calvin is gone home, but the effect of his zeal in vindicate 
 
 of God's free and sovereign grace will long remain. Knox ilij 
 
 sturdy warrior for the gospel of the grace of God rests in peace, ye 
 
 Scotland to-day enjoys many bles^ings from the reformer's zeal 
 
 Buny^n has put off the armour, but that well worn coat of raai 
 
 as shown in -Pilgrim's Progre.^^s, ' and the Holy War has donr 
 
 much to encourage and assure Christians that having on tiK 
 
 whole armour of God, and having done all that faith and z« 
 
 demands, they shall stand Baxter suffered many pains phy>iwll 
 
 but his zeal for souls made his pen a^ well as tongue a ready wriif 
 
 to .speak the praises of the great King, and to call the unconvcrief 
 
 to repentance, and the saints to rest. The success of his writings profl 
 
 that God will bless ihat holy ambition that seeks by all meau8io»'| 
 
 some for Christ. 
 
ir 
 
 If more were needed to show the result of this zeal of God'» 
 kinfiling I would mention Eliot, Henry Martin, Carey and other 
 choice mi>8ionary spirits, who triumphed over the predjudice of the 
 enligli'eiied, so-called, and the difficulties of an unknown tonszue, to 
 preatli Chri-t to the heathen. Was it not this self-same spirit that 
 stirred the fathers of many of our churches ? Harding and Manning, 
 are names that thrill souls even now with a holy charm. 
 
 Let ns re.«olve then brethren in Christ to labour with zeal, for 
 'the harvest truly is great,' and if we are not great labourers in the 
 fiejil, still remember, a child unable to bind a sheaf can gather up a 
 handful of grain, and such a spiritual gathering is not to be despised 
 if His words be true. For 'he that winneth souls is wise,' and one 
 soul ndeemed by Christ's precious blood, cannot, as to its price, be 
 estiiniitt d by silver and gold. 
 
 May the God of all grace stir us as a people, (pastors and 
 (leacoiis,^ and may the stirring continue till from centre to circum- 
 ference the waters of blessing shall be moved and not one sick or 
 lame >liall say, ' no man careth for my soul.' But may we Jesus- 
 like go everywhere and tell all around of that healing that is for the 
 nations. As Napoleon's soldiers were standing on an eminence, 
 gazing upon the pyramids of P^gypt, just before he made his 
 desce'M upon the Mamelukes, he cried out, " Soldiers, from the 
 summits of yonder pyramids forty ages survey your conduct, act like 
 I heroes." And to stir and fire I would say, " Brethren ! ye are 
 [fighting for truth and heaven, under the command of Jesus, from 
 [the summits of the everlasting hills io heaven, and from the blazing 
 thronts of eternity, ten thousand angels and saints, with the 
 j Almighty Sovereign for whom ye are fighting, are surveying 
 your coiniuct. Be strong. Quit you like men. Be valiant for the 
 I truth. Act like heroes."

 REPORT ON SABBATH OBSERVANCE. 
 
 Through the infinite goodness of God, unusually large numbeni 
 of converts have Iwu recenily added to our Churches. Theirl 
 progress in the divine life, as well as that of others, their spirituall 
 enjoyment, and their usefulness evidently depends larg- ly on tlieirl 
 strict ob-*ervance of the Lord's D.iy. R;5missness in this duty wi 
 undoubtedly be attended wl h general declension, pernicious back] 
 sliding, and great injury to the cause of Christ. If the iiiviiluablel 
 privileges of tiie Holy Sabbath be diligently improved by suiiablej 
 religious exercises, ada|)ted to keep the mind in a spiriiuiil stateJ 
 it may be fairly presumed, that other duties will be con^cicJitiousW 
 discharged. From such a course ine.-timable benefits cannot fail 
 ensue. Thedeclarat on of the in<pired propliet will douhtle.->3 bej 
 found to be verified : — '' If thou turn away tliy font froia thi^ Sab-f 
 bath, from doing thy pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbatl| 
 a delight, the Holy of the Loud, honorable ; and shall honor bin 
 not doing thine own ways, nor finding thine own pleasure, no 
 speaking thine own wurds, then shall thou delight thyself in thd 
 Lord — for the mouth of the Loud hath spoken it." Isa. Iviii. 13^

 Respectfully submitted, 
 
 Charles Tuppeb, Chairman. 
 
 REPORT ON QUESTIONS IN LETTERS. 
 
 The Committee on Questions in Letters beg further to rpport:- 
 That with reference to the Letter from Indian Harbour, coiiiplaia 
 ing that their letter of last year was not acknowledged, ami that 
 contained money; your Committee have ascertained that the lettd 
 was duly received, but the money, ($7.65) having been receivej 
 after the Association was by mistake credited to another ciiur 
 (Jeddore). 
 
 That two Churches have a[»plied for the Association next ye 
 Upper Aylesford atid Granville Street, Halifax; that the Westell 
 Association will hold its next meeiitig at Tremont, Lower Aylesforr 
 and that it will l)e manifestly inexpedient that two Associatioi' 
 should meet so near to each other ; the Committee therefore recofl 
 mend that the next meeting of this Association be held witb tij 
 Church in Granville Street, Halifax.

 the institution itself in its essential features must l^e perpetuated. 
 
 Your Committee feel that the churches comprised in this Assoc* 
 tion have cause for encouragement in their work, and for pratitudj 
 to God, in view of the abundant llessings vouchsafed to tlieir Sjibhail 
 Schools during the past year. The Divine blessing has reMed upoi 
 this department of chri-tian labor, and many precious youth ImrJ 
 been brought into the fold of Christ. 
 
 Your Committee would urge the formation of Missionary Band 
 in connection with Sabbath Schools. Our benevolent o|ieratioU 
 must ever widen, and if we would have the next general ion fittel 
 for the work that shall be entrusted to their hands, they miisti 
 their youth be instructed not only in doctrines, but also in the duii 
 of our holy religion.

 REPORT ON EDUCATION. 
 
 The Committee on Education beg leave to report that four youa 
 men completed their college course on the fir.-t of the present monlj 
 — three of them preachers of the gospel, and now eni.'a;;ed 
 mission work. The prospect for the coming term, in regard | 
 students, is encouraging. Mr. Kennedy, of Montreal has 
 appointed to the chair ot Natural Science, and will enter upon 
 duties in September. 
 
 The attendance at the Academy the last year has been, in 
 departments, in excess of that of the previous year. 
 
 The resignation of the Principalship of the Academy by Rev. 
 A. Higgins, after 14 years valuable service, has made it necessaj 
 to obtain a successor to him, and a committee has been api oiiitj 
 for the purpose. It is hoped that the Governors will fom 
 prepared to announce to the public the names of an efficient stall j 
 teachers for both branches of the Academy for the ensuinjijear. 
 
 Y^our Committee are glad to report that there is now son 
 prospect of better provision being made for the education ot'il 
 the young women of the denominatioo. A scheme for buiidinj.'J, 
 the joint stock principle, capable of accommodating 100 boardei 
 has been initiated by H. N. Paint,. Esq , of Halifax, and liasreceivj 
 the approval of the Governois of the College, and stock Ii.-<ts aren| 
 ready for circulation. There is no reason why 100 joung mem 
 as many young women should not be in regular attendance at 
 Academy. This would soon give over lOO students in tlie Colle^ 
 
 We desire to record our gratitude to the Great Head ot tl 
 church for the spiritual blessings which have fallen upon I 
 College and Academy the last year, resulting in the converHonI 
 God of nearly all who had not previously experienced his graf

SECOND ANNUAL REPORT 
 
 OF THB 
 
 ^. ^, §a)rtt^t ^0mt ^Wxomx^ mmt 
 
 The Executive Board of the Nova Scotia Baptist Home Mission 
 ary Union beg to present their second Annual Report. At their fin 
 meetino; after the Anniversary of the Union, your Board re-electe 
 the Officers of last year. On the removal of Rev. W. H. Porterl 
 the Recording Secretary, W. A. C. Randall, Esq., M. D., wi 
 elected to that office. 
 
 Delay in making appointments. — While your Board were awaitii^^ 
 the action of the Committee at Windsor, \fhich was to consummate 
 the Union or make it for a time a comparative failure, they tJiougbl 
 it best not to make many appointments. The call, however, was i 
 imperative to send a Missionary to Shelburne that they at odc( 
 appointed Rev E. N. Archibald to that field. The results of "orotliel 
 Archibald's labours in Shelburne and vicinity have convinced ih 
 Board that the appointment was exceedingly judicious. The litlll 
 Church at Sh^ilburne which had almost lost its visibility has be 
 greatly revived. Several have been added to its number. 
 beautiful house of worship has been built and nearly paid for. 
 Sand Point brother Archibald was also instrumental in getting | 
 new meeting house carried forward to completion. The cause i 
 Sand Point, at Jordan River, and in fact in all parts of the Shelbur 
 field, has been so much revived during the year, that, had little ek 
 been done by their Missionaries, your Board would be disposed I 
 thank God and take courage. 
 
 The General Agency. — After our Union had been consumraatd 
 at Witidsor, your Board believed that it was necessary to putj 
 General Agent immediately in the field, whose work it would be ^ 
 examine into the destitution that prevailed and report thereon. 
 Rev. Isaiah Wallace was selected for that important and arduoJ 
 work. Although brother Wallace was beloved by his Cliurcb 
 congregation, an ^> pleasantly situated, he felt the appointment of tl 
 Board to be the call of God. He entered upon the General Agei 
 work about the first of September last. As your Board wished! 
 have as much as possible of the Eastern section of the Provii 
 surveyed before the approach of winter, their General Agent f 
 at once for the Eastern extremity of Cape Breton. After he 
 visited the different counties in that Island and succeeded in , 
 ing small Churches and in making arrangements for the settien)^ 
 of Missionary pastors, he directed his steps to Guysboro, AntigoB 
 Pictou, Halifax, Lunenburg and the southern part of Qu» 
 Subsequently he visited the northern districts of Queen's, aud

 faithfully and his labours have been blessed. Two have 
 added to the French Mission church by baptism. Several havei 
 fissed conversion. Some have died rejoicing in hope. Others 1 
 beginning to seek for the truth. The word of God is b* ing studk 
 Its effects are coming to light. The missionary still meets 1 
 opposition in several places, but he is generally respected and 
 influence is acknowledged to be good. 
 
 An attempt has been made to build a meeting house at 8t. Ma 
 Bay for the accommodation of the English and French famil 
 residing there who are connected with the French Mission Chun 
 Considerable progress has been made in building. But a8 there 1 
 strong opposition to the work hy a neighbouring church, it 
 thought best to let the matter rest until a full invetjtigation oft 
 affair could be made. The house is generally admitted to 
 necessity. It will undoubtedly, therefore, be pushed on at am 
 date to completion. There are two Mission premises belongingj 
 the French Department of Home Missions. One is situated! 
 Tusket, the other at Saulnierville. They are probably wn 
 $4000. The bouse at Tusket is rented. The one at Sauli 
 ville is occupied by our French Missionary. 
 
 The Book Department. — Your Board felt the growing impo 
 of having our own literature more extensively circulated in 
 Province, and occupying a more prominent place in our SabI 
 School Libraries. To carry out their cherished plan in regard 
 this matter, they appointed to the colporteur work Mr. A. 
 Lavers. He commenced operations in the County of Shelburne, 
 December last. But the weather was unusually stormy, money 
 very scarce in that section, and the people visited were genei 
 poor. The sales made by the colporteur, tkereforp, were oolj 
 extensive as the Board anticipated. But a good work was done 
 the Master. Many denominational and Awakening tracts 
 distributed, cheap books were given to the poor, and a considei 
 number of books was sold. Many families were visited who 
 or never had heard the voice of prayer. The poor in several 
 of the county had the gospel preached unto them, who scarcely 
 had heard the good news except from the lips of our colporteur, 
 
 In the early part of April, Gardiner Tufts, Esq., who had 
 the employ of the British and North American Tract 
 entered the service of your Board. He has ever since 
 labouring indefatigably and with the most gratifying success. 
 is circulating very extensively in the counties of Digby, An 
 and King's, a pure Baptist literature. 
 
 The appointment of J. Albert Walker, Esq , of Antigonishe, 
 from the first of May. He will canvass the counties of Anti| 
 Pictou, Guysboro, and Halifax. He entered very hopefully 
 energetically upon his work, and bids fair at the present 
 being successful in the colporteur department.

 Your Board further report, that that iu addition to the appoint- 
 ments they have made, they introduced Rev. H. Bool to the Churches I 
 at Maccan and River Hebert, and that ho settled with them. They 
 also introduced Bro. Isaac S. Skinner to Rev. D. A. Steele and 
 the Amherst Church, and that Bro. Skinner was accepted by the! 
 Church to assist their Pastor. 
 
 In view of the great success that has attended their laboarsl 
 during the past year, your Board wish to record their heait-feltj 
 thanks to Almighty God. Keeping in mind that it is not by mifhtl 
 nor by power but by his Spirit that the best efforts become success-j 
 ful, they would not take any credit to themselves but would give 
 GU/d all the glory. 
 
 Your Board in conclusion, beg to express the hope that the greatj 
 questions which will come before ihe Union will be dealt with in; 
 liberal spirit. They also hope that their successors in otfice will 
 much more successful than the}' have been and that many through-] 
 out (he length and breadth of the land will bless God for the Nov^ 
 Scotia Baptist Home Missionary Union.
