December i, 1909. THE
Synod and gave as follows: Carrollton,
eighty-nine members gave $7.02 per member;
North Avenue, 878 members gave
$6.46 per member; LaGrange, eighty members
gave $5.05 per member; College
Park, fifty-eight members gave $4.81 per
member; Kirkwood, 69 members gave
$4.42 per member; Union Point, sixty-two
members gave $4.65 per member; Moultrie,
115 members gave $10.75 per member.
Besides that which can not be express
ed in tigures and which is the largest
and the best that our God has given us,
the increase for the past year was $88,277.99
in offerings for the work, more
than two thousand members added to our
churches on the Foreign field; twentynine
missionaries sent out for the first
time and giving us 280 for our full force;
680 foreign missionary societies organized
in the home churches; eighty-four
churches added to the Forward Movement
list, which now numbers 872.
Each succeeding year justifies the repetition
with increasing emphasis of this
language of *he General Assembly of
1907: "The method of the Forward Movement
is the one by which he effectu
and permanent solution of our financial
problem is to be attained." About onefifth
of the churches of this Synod are
enlisted in the Forward Movement and
these have given for the past two years
about eight-ninths of all that was given
by this Synod for the evangelization of
the world. The Laymen's Missionary
Movement, under the efficient leadership
of Mr. C. A. Rowland, chairman of the
Executive Committee for our Church, has
made good progress in perfecting its organization
and in arousing some of our
men to some adequate conception of their
obligation for the evangelization of the
world in this generation. The general
conference held at Birmingham from
16 to 18 of last Fabruary was one of the
greatest and most successful religious
meetings ever held on this continent. If
the leading men in all our churches could
be brought under the Influence of the
truth as were the 1,100 men who attended
that conference it would be no difficult
task for our Church to raise the one
million dollars per annum necessary to
evangelize in this generation the 25,000,000
of unevangelized people for whom we
are responsible. Great results are expected
to follow the National Campaign
now in progress and which Includes the
holding of conferences in a number of
cities in different sections of our country.
We note with pleasure that one of
these conferences is to be held within
the bounds of this Synod; at Macon from
21 to 23 of next January.
