OF THE NORTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION 1915 CONTAINING THE Proceedings of the Eighth Meeting HELD AT LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA May 19 to 26, 1915 Together with the Reports of the AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION SOCIETY FOREWORD THE Annual appears this year with a single pagination. This has been made possible by a slight rearrangement in the section devoted to the Convention; much which formerly preceded the minutes under Roman notation being transferred to Appendix A. This order is logical, and, we believe, will prove satisfactory. The consecutive paging and two indices, one for the Convention section and another at the end for the entire volume, will render the contents accessible as never before. In order to avoid confusion, index references are to pages only. This volume should be a much-consulted book of reference concerning our denomination and its activities for the kingdom. Its usefulness would be enhanced by general circulation beyond the registered delegates. The edition includes copies for that purpose. We commend the Annual alike to pastors and laymen, and urge that its value be emphasized by the denominational press, and at all meetings of Associations and State Conventions. The editor desires again to acknowledge his indebtedness to all who have aided in the production of the Annual, and would mention especially the Rev. P. C. Wright, Clerk of Minutes; the Rev. C. M. Gallup, Clerk of Reports; and the Rey, D. G. Stevens, Book Editor of the American Baptist Publication Society, who, in addition to superintending the production, also prepared the index at the end of the volume. It is hoped that the Annual for 1915 may prove more useful than any of its predecessors. The editor will welcome constructive criticisms, which may be sent to him at 754 Greene Avenue, Brooklyn, N.
