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.

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 !
