Book excerpt: Excerpt from Minutes of the Seventy-Ninth Annual Session of the State Convention of the Baptist Denomination in South Carolina: Held With the First Baptist Church, Gaffney, S. C., November 29-December 3, 1899 An alarming danger threatens not only the Baptists of South Carolina but all other Christians as well. Mormon missionaries are canvassing our State, going from house to house, two by two, scattering widely their cunningly devised literature, establishing preaching points, and slowly but surely planting an influence that will develop into the most threatening foe to the peace of society, the progress of vital godliness, and the prosperity of our Christian institutions. They already claim to have members in the State. To counteract the influence of these. False teachers, we have already scattered over the State pages of tracts and pamphlets. In addition to this we must send out more missionaries to those sections of the State where the people are most easily influenced by them. Where they preach error, let our missionaries preach the truth. This is the only successful way to meet them.
