BAPTIST EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEES MEET
Quite a large number of visitors
were in Blakely on yesterday attend
ing a meeting of the Executive Com
mittees of- the several departments of
the Bethel Baptist Association at the
Baptist church. The ladies of the
local Woman’s Missionary Society
and Young Woman’s Auxiliary served
a substantial and delicious lunch at
the noon hour.
'l'he several Committees held sep
arate meetings at the morning hour,
the Executive Committees of the As
sociation, of the Woman’s Missionary
Union, of the Sunday School Con
vention, of the Baptist Young Peo
ple’s Union and of the Stewardship
Campaign, and made plans for effec
tive work for the spring and summer
along all lines.
At 11 o’clock Rev. J. L. Clavton
delivered an inspiring sermon, fill
ing his hearers with an earnest de
sire to make this the best year yet
in the work of the Master’s Kingdom.
For more than an hour after lunch
all the committees were in joint
session, discussing plans and perfect
ing programs for the year. Among
other matters the question of the
Annual Encampment came up for
discussion. Rev. Henry Melton made
announcement as to the plans of the
Bluffton community for handling the
Encampment this year and called for
the co-operation of every church in
making this year’s assembly even a
greater success than was last year’s.
Rev. S. B. King, Chairman of the
Program Committee, made partial an
nouncement as to the personnel of
the teaching force, and a partial list
of the speakers. In this connection
it was stated that, instead of having
a different speaker for each evening’s
closing hour, that Dr. Carl A. De-
Vane, pastor of the First Baptist
church, Cedartowu, Ga., would bring
a series of messages. “Carl.” as we
all know him, is an Early county boy,
and was ordained to the pastorate in
the Blakely church. His presence
will add much to the interest in the
Encampment.
Among the leaders of the denomi
nation who were seen by this writftr
i were Judge A. L. M’iller, Edison, j
j the Moderator of the Bethel Associa
; lion and Chairman of the Executive
i Committee; Rev. J. L. Claxton, of
| Albany, the newly appointed Enlist-
I ment Field Worker for this Southwest
Georgia territory; Rev. D. W. Bos
dell, who has recently come to Geor
gia from Montgomery, Ala., the new
i pastor of the Cuthbert Baptist church,
and many others.
