BAPTISTS RALLY
TO STATE WORK
Big Meeting—Millions For Missions—Mobilized For An
other Victory —Great Day September 24th.
j ' Spencer B. King.
Georgia Baptists are a mighty host.
There are over 300,000 of them in
lieorgia They are militant Christians
.Hiifl 'iJieir records are rich with the
atones of good deeds and great gifts
for the salvation and betterment oi
Lbe people of our State.
Big Meetings Now On
The annual meetings of the District
Associations are perhaps the most in
teresting meetings of the year with
Georgia Baptists. To these Associa
tions the churches of each district
send messengers with reports of the
year’s v eil, ar l *'* *h* "e meetings ■
come ‘lue representatives of the ui.iuy
Baptist interests, missionary, educa
tional and eleemosynary, preachers
and speakers of renown and ability,
who add much to the interest of the
occasion.
The people come from all the coun
try round about, in wagons, buggies,
automobiles and Fords. Solemn mes
sengers bearing with dignity their
commissions from their churches ;
eager, bright-eyed men and women,
who anticipate the annual pleasure
of meeting their kinsfolk and friends,
for these Associations are great so
cial as well as religious occasions,
and not a few boys and girls “a’court
ing bent,” for the destiny of many a
Baptist couple Jias dated from tho
meeting of the Baptist Association.
Georgia’s Debt To Baptists.
The State of Georgia owes the Bap
tist people a great debt because of
their consistent championship of the
elemental principles of democracy
and religious liberty. They are the
original Democrats, spiritual Demo
crats, and they have ever stood unwa
veringly for religious liberty, the in
tegrity of the individual, the freed: ;a
of the soul, the sovereignty of God,
the separation of Church and State,
And the education and uplift of our
people. In the early days Baptist
anen and women suffered sore per
secution and some of them even laid
-down their lives in defense of the
fundamental principles and privileges
of humanity.
They have contributed millions in
men and money to the religious prog
ress of Georgia by their aggressive
missionary propaganda. In the pio
lieer days the itinerant Baptist
preacher with his horse, his saddle
bags and his Bible pushed his way in
do every nook and comer of this great
State, proclaiming his message of
salvation and righteousness. In the
last fifty years since the Baptists
have been more definitely organized,
4hey have maintained missionaries,
■evangelists and teachers, who have
preached and taught, built church
houses in needy sections where the
cause was weak, planted and developed
churches and advanced every good
cause that would bring men to a
knowledge of God and establish right
eousness within the Slate. This is
what they term “Slate Missions” and
♦luring the months of Sept, and Oct.
the Baptist churches of Georgia are
called on to make devoted and goner-{
ous contributions to State Missions.!
A worthy investment where religion
and patriotism join hands.
Our State is also much indebted to
the Baptists for great educational ad-!
vantages. These people have always
stood for an open book and an un-1
fettered mind. Their educational prop-;
erty today is worth more than two]
million dollars. Belonging immedi-j
ately io the Baptist organization are;
Mercer University at Macon, Bessie I
Tift College for women at Forsyth, !
eight secondary or high schools, and
the Mary P. Willingham training
.school for mountain girls at Blue
Itidge. In addition to these there
are a number of mountain schools
supported by their Home Mission
Board and a number of other strong
ftdependent Baptist institutions, such
as Shorter College at Rome, Cox Col
lege at College Park and the La-
Grange Female College at LaGr&nge.
In benevolent work these Baptists
are not lagging. They support more
than 230 orphans in a home at llape
ville and have an efficient Hospital in
Atlanta.
A Good Man Gone
In .their various meetings Georgia
Baptists will sadly miss the familiar
form and voice of Dr. H. R, Ber
nard, who passed away on August
12th. For nearly half a century he
had been active in the work of this
great denomination, having participat
ed in many of their most effective ad
vance movements.
He was a man of varied talents and
experience—a teacher, a merchant,
a railroad manager, a preacher and
an editor, hut (he crown of his life
work was the service h rendered as
an official of his denomination. He
was recognized by Bapti as an au
thority on law and order ami efficien
cy in denominational affairs and he
■ft-35 the orirt'nator of the “S tiohde”
hr which the Bautist churches make
their offerings to all causes today.
For nine years he had been auditor
of the Georgia Baptist Mission Board.
Asa Christian his sympathies were
as broad as the multitude of God’s
children. Asa Baptist he was un
swervingly true to the principles of
his faith. Many had differed with
him in his day, but none had ever
Questioned his goodness. His was a
white soul. His last message was,
“The Lord reigns. Be faithful. It
is worth while.”
Millions For Missions
The Baptist people are essentially
missionary. Their fundamental task
in to preach the of Jesus Christ
and to save tue lost. T. ,-y ho.Vj tl od
like granite against everything that
smacked of ecclesiasticism or religious
hierarchy. Their leaders have ever
been earnest, self-sacrificing, independ
ent preachers who have gone every
where preaching the Word.
Last year all the Baptists of the
South gave $2,019,821.00 for all mis
sions—the greatest record they have
ever made in their history. They re
cently raised nearly $200,090.00 tc pay
their Foreign Mission debt. Georgia
Baptists had a large and noble part
in the record breaking record, and this
year they have set themselves the task
of raising $300,000.00 for education, be
nevolence and missions.
State Missions is the immediate
task and interest of Georgia Baptists.
State Missions is Baptist mission
work in Georgia, and Sept, and Oct.
are the harvesting or rallying months
in which this great people make large
offerings to this worthy cause. Their
slogan, ‘‘Redeem Georgia,” has boen
sounded from Itabun Gap to-Tybee
Light and the mighty host of these in
dependent, Bible-loving, God-fearing
folk is being moved by the clarion call
of this great cry to rally as never be
fore to the support of their mission
work in Georgia.
The double appeal of Christian duty
and State patriotism is kindling the
fires of their zeal and leading them to
give support to the great task of meet
ing the religious and moral needs of
dear old Georgia. No Baptist church
can turn a deaf ear to this appeal and
be worthy of its name. The pressure
of other interests has caused this work
to be somewhat neglected in recent
years. But these Baptists are the kind
that "come hack” and from all reports
they are now determined to again give
their Georgia work first place, not for
any selfish reason, but because they
realize that it is primary and funda
mental to the success of every other
worthy interest.
Rallying To A New Leader.
Last year Georgia Baptists made a
change in missionary leadership when
they elected Dr. Arch C. Cree as Cor.
Sec. & Treas. of their Mission Board.
This was no experiment. He was
neither unknown nor untried, for, pre
vious to accepting this office, he had
been pastor of some of the leading
churches of the South and the Enlist
ment Secretary of the Home Mission
Board.
Dr. Alex. Bealer in writing last
year of Dr. Cree said, “In all of these
places he lias demonstrated his abil
ity to handle big movements and to
lead men in doing great things for
God, . . . Without doubt the greatest
task that lias ever confronted Dr. Cree
is tiie one in which he is now en
gaged. ... He has already demon
strated that he is the man for the
place. Asa young man he had splen
did business training. . . . The clar
ion call of the Board under the new
leader is ’Redeem Georgia,’ and with
this end in view Dr. Cree has begun
his work and pitched his program for
victory.”
Many jiroblems and handicaps con
fronted the new Secretary when he
was called to this work. But imme
diately upon entering the work he ef
fected readjustments and economies
in administration that helped re
duce the expenditures of last year
about $10,000.00, as compared with the
year before; and he is instituting fur
ther economies that will add to effi
ciency and in time save thousands
more. Asa result of his businesslike
policies Georgia Baptists have great
confidence in his administration.
Dr. Cree is a man of untiring energy
and executive ability. The late Dr.
Bernard said of him that “he could
ride three different trains going in
four different directions at the same
time, lie can do three men’s work any
oid day; Jiut, even then, he has to go
home and turn somersaults to get tired
enough to sleep.”
Mobilized For Victory
Since his election, in addition to the
heavy executive work of his office, Dr.
Cree has traveled over 40,000 miles and
delivered over 300 addresses. He is
now busy going the rounds of the As
sociational meetings and is r. Hying his
Baptist peoplaand mobilizing .he forces
for another victory in the great tasks
of G< orgia Baptists. C• owing tu. of
the plans and program which he has

HUSBAND RESCUED
DESPAIRING WIFE
After Four Years of Discouraging
Conditions, Mrs. Bullock Gave
Up in Despair. Husband
Came to Rescue.
Catron, Ky.—ln an interesting lettet
from this place, Mrs. Bettie Bullock
writes as follows: “I suffered for four
years, with womanly troubles, and during
this time, I could only sit up for a little
while, and could not walk anywhere at
all. At times, I would have sevete pains
in my left side.
The doctor was called in, and his treat
ment relieved me for a while, but I was
soon confined to my bed again. After
that, nothing seemed tc do me any good,
’ gotten so weak 1 could not stand,
and 1 gave up in despair.
At last, my husband got me a bottle oi
Cardui, the woman’s tonic, and I com
menced taking it. From the very first
dose, 1 could tell it was helping me. I
can now walk two miles without its
tiring me, and am doing my work.”
If you are all run down from womanly
troubles, don’t give up in despair. Try
Cardui, the woman’s tonic. It nas helped
more than a million women, in its 50
years of wonderful success, and should
sqrely help you, too. Your druggist has
sold Cardui for years. He knows what
it will do. Ask him. He will recom
mend it. Begin taking Cardui today.
