WORK AND IDEALS Of A
1101 MISSION BOARL
One of Die largest and im.-t power
ful religious agencies that eerves the
cuue of Christianity in the South, is
tlie Homo Mission Hoard of the
Southern Baptist Convention, with
offices in tho Healey Building, at At
lunta, Ga.
The field of action of tills Board ox
tends from .Maryland to New Mexico,
embracing Southern Illinois and all of
the South. The Board also has in
Cuba and the Canal Zone, Panama,
about forty missionaries arid as many
churches. Altogether it maintains
wholly or in part 1/(00 me salaries
and workers, at a cost of approximate
!y $450,000. This mission work in the
South by the Baptists is in addition
to Ihe $550,000 raised in tho various
states for purely state Mission work,
making a total of $1,000,000 a year
expended by Southern Baptists In un.-
ston effort in the South.
The work of the Baptist Home Mis
siou Board embraces Co-operative Mis
sions ia various states, with 1,200 nrs
slonari . un evangelistic Department
with twenty-five evangelists; a Coun
try Church Department with twenty
Held workers (in tho first year of it
work); a Mountain Mission School
Department, with 150 teachers, thirty
four schools, (1,000 students and a prop
erty worth $000,000; an Indian Depart
ment, with twenty missionaries, a For
eigner Department with forty live mi
sionarles; a Church Building Depart
raent, which is now raising a $1,000,-
000 Church Building Loan Fund, a
Negro Department with forty mission
aries, and a Publicity Department,
which distributes yearly about 12,-
000,000 of fr. e tract literature, be
sides us much more material through
its monthly mission maga*!ne, The
Homo Field, and through books and
newspapers.
The fiscal year of the Board ends
ou April 31, and more than $300.000
must be raised before then to onaleo
it to pay for the great activities which
this agency conducts for a Southern
religious body. Baptist churches
quite generalv make special contriliu
lions to Home M -sions in March and
April. The quota to be raised In Go >.
gia is $60,000. The Baptist churches
will in the next lew weeks give great
attention to meeting their apportion
ment to tills great and successful be
neficence.
One of the strongest incentives on
the part of our churches to liberality
in supporting Home Missions, aside
from the good it does in making men
and society better and building up
not only a hope for the future life,
lit a life here that is clean and pure—
; that the impact of our American
fe on other nations may not give the
ie to t|ie words of our foreign mis
iouaries. There is an incongruity in
sending American missionaries and
American rum on the same ship to
Africa. And when Chinese point to
corrupt American polities, corrupt cit
ies, and an industrialism which grinds
up human hope and life in its wheels
ns evidence that Christianity does not
really save a nation, the missionary
is up against one of the most dam
aging deterrents to tho force of his
message.
Then, too, Home Missions through
the 300,000 foreigners who return from
our country annually to their own
lands, lias the opportunity, if it will
reach these people with our religion,
to send 300,000 missionaries a year to
preach the gospel of Christ to the ends
of the earth. Those will go at ihetr
own charges and without salary, and
will understand their people better
than our missionaries can hope to un
derstand them. Certainly Foreign Mis
sions has a right to expect that Amer
ican churches will so support Home
Missions that the impact of America
shall confirm and strengthen them in
stead of weakening them.
Modern industrialism bus greatly in
tensified our Southern life. The good
old days are gone. The South has
been great enough out of ashes, and
with a minimum of outside aid. which
has been more than counterbalanced
by outside encroachments, to rebuild
her lost fortune and to forge to the
f-ont ns a part rf ''>e nation. Our

In indulgence ai.d pleasure? This Is

GREAT EVANGELISTIC AGENCY
That denomination only will grow
rapidly which re- ••-inks ■ it- obliga
tion to evangeli.-.c iim v u m-i tiludes
of unsaved men nml women. '1 hat
denomination must and e which male , uo
serioi and persistent effort to secure
recruits.
What is the most effective kind of
evangelism? 1 mean what kind of
evangelism can reach the great multi
tude of the lost in the most efficient
way and bring them both into tiie
church and enlist them for active
Christian service? The exp rk-m >■ of
the past has clearly shown that the
independent evangeost cannot, do this
Most of these cannot e.m ..te the
temptation to make a > for fu
ture engagements may and ml upon
doing this. Homo of these independ
ent evangelists were of Hie “wild cut"
order, responsible to nobody, and the
breath of their nostrils bong set)na
tion.
When a great Christian body un
dertakes to make evangelism a part of
Its program in its missionary endeav
or. and selects men of stvuding, who
have proven their devotion and depend
ability in religious service, the
churches may rest assured that their
evangelistic efforts will l e of a con
structive and lasting character. They
will become expert in evangelism, but
their vision will not be narrowed down
merely to that work.
The growth of iAiuiomli atiirnal evan
gelism accounts for tho fact that there
are very fow of tho oldtime "wild cat”
evangelists left. The independent
evangelists who have survived this
wise and dependable standard are
themselves responsible men.
The Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention has the
distinction of having the only distinct
ive evangelistic department of any de
nomination in the world. From its
■ mall beginnings of eight years ago,
l has grown into a body of twonty
)ve evangelists and singers, which
l umber will probably soon be lucreas
i.l to forty. These men are trained
to work singly, two by two, or iu larg
er groups, as no other body of men,
so that they are prepared to touch
every phase of spiritual need, wheth
er it, be the rural districts, the moun
tains, villages or cities.
In order to do this efficiently the
Board has an evangelist who work
among the thirty-four mountain mis
sion schools. Another works in
schools and collegi s, for the college
life period is the most important for
religious decision ou the part of the
young.
There is a Nogvo evangelist who
gives his entire time to evangelising
his race. In the great city simultane
ous campaigns, he organizes the Ne
gro churches similarly to the organi
zation of the white churches. There
are 30,000 deaf mutes iu the South.
To these Evangelist J. W. Mtcheats
of the Home Board ministers. He has
organised classes in more than tbirty
Soutliern cities. In several places he
has organized churches for the silent
people and in Louisville, Kentucky, and
Fort Worth, Texa*. churches for the
mules have be n built. No feature of
the evangeiisii v< rk is more needed
or honored than The need is
acute, and the \\. ~v lias been long
neglected.
To me-i the great variety of needs
iu the South, the evangelists go to
the country and the villages, one by
one, and then gather in a large group
in our cities for a city campaign.
The most novel and startling feature
of this great evangelistic enginery, is
the state-wide campaign, which was
inaugurated last winter in Florida. It
has been done on a larger scale this
winter throughout Louisiana, where
there are 3,500 additions when the
campaign is only half over. An even
larger and more significant campaign
is being planned In the old State of
South Carolina tor next fall, and
! Evangelistic Secretary Dr. Weston
Bruner looks forwz ’.l to a South-wide
[campaign amor" tho 25.000 white Bap-
I ,ist churches aad the 2u,000 Negro
pburches.
