Women’s Division
WASHINGTON, (ANP)
Nannie H. Burroughs is the
president of the Women’s
tion who will be permitted
operate that auxiliary
ently, declared Dr. J. H.
president of the National
Convention, U.S.A., Inc.
This declaration was made
members of the press in Dv.
son’s suite at the Benjamin
lin hotel, Sunday. He pointed
that according to the
all auxiliaries, including the
en's Convention and the
Baptist Sunday School and
Convention, are branches of
parent body. Therefore, the
tional Baptist Convention has
authority to elect officers of
auxiliaries. And monies
by them should be turned over
the parent body.
At present the women’s
tion raises its own funds and
spends them as it sees fit. It
elects its own officers independ¬
ently of the National Convention.
"This procedure would have been
changed a long time ago,” said Dr.
| Jackson “had it not been for re¬
spect of Miss Burroughs,” who
has been the national president of
I the Women’s Convention for the
j past 1-2 years.
I Dr. Jackson said they allowed
the women’s president to follow
1 the same procedure that she has
been following in the past because
“we never like to disturb the
work of old soldiers.”
The women’s convention this
year reporting
amounting to $53,206.63. 9Ai: a Q Th.’c This
m ° ney was raised through the
committees which make up the
I- women’s convention. Each com¬
mittee is set up for a specific pur¬
pose and the money raised by it
goes to the project for which it
was solicited.
The greatest amount of money
raised this year was by the na¬
tional Camp Committee. The $4,-
412.25 -which it raised will go on
the debt incurred in the purchas¬
ing of a summer camp for youth
in Michigan. The second largest
i amount of R284.S3 was raised for
foreign missions and will be used
for that purpose. The third amount
of $2,720.11 was raised for pay-
women have bought and maintain
for foreign missionaries. And the
next largest amount of $1,578.50
was raised for the National Trade
and Professional School, which is
operated in Washington, D. C. for
the training of Christian leaders.
The Women’s Convention meet¬
ing in Philadelphia was attended
by 74 officials and 3,021 delegates
and members. The largest num¬
ber of 305 delegates came from
Michigan.
The women donate freely to
their convention, said Miss Bur¬
roughs “because they know where
every dime of their money goes.”

Hoodlums Burn Cross
At Catholic Church
T I F T O N. Ga., (AND—A
wooden cross was burned last
week in front of a Roman Cath¬
olic church where a Negro
couple had been married earlier.
Police Chief P. J. Ranew said
the cross, abuot 4 feet high, was
crudely made.
Ranew said the Negro couple
was pa^ri;ieci about 4 p. m. at
the church, identified as the
Chupch of our Divine Savior.
He s&id a white priest offici¬
ated and about 11 Negroes at¬
tended.! •
About 50 white persons stood
' across the- street from the
l | c h Ulc h while the ceremony was
er}orfrtecli bu( . there were n0
j Jncidents at the time .
to take over these assets of the
women’s group and make them a
part of the National Convention
had led some members to contend
| that the National President is
1 "drunk for power.” His efforts
j to unite which the split two Baptist back in conven- 1915
tions
have been interpreted by some as
a means of obtaining greater
power over more people rather
than a gesture for unity.
The National Convention Presi¬
dent has been quoted as saying
privately to friends that he hopes
to reunite the two conventions
fji'st, then consolidate the Nation¬
al Sunday School and BTU Con¬
vention with the parent body. He
would not bother the women fob
awhile at least as long as Miss
Burroughs is president. But, he is
said to have remarked, “Time will
! take care of her.”
