By Louie D. Newton,
Following the Hotrbor.cigh Truett
tour Is the doubling up at the work
ers La the Baptist 75 Million Cain
palgn in Georgia for a great record
in this greatest of all efforts of the
Baptists of this state.
Ihe meetings of the associations re
veal a hearty pulse lieat in every sec
tion of the state on the campaign.
The largest attendance iu the history
of each body is the report sent to
the etate headquarters. The people
are responding to the call of the cam
paign with unprecedented assurance.
Dr. Arch C. Cree, state director,
finds his desk covered every morn lug
with letters and telegrams of actual
progress from the 325,000 Baptists of
the State. The men, the women and
the children —all fh@ departments of
the church life —are giving full co
operation to the movement.
Just now the feature of the work
is getting the Service Rolls up In
every church in the state. These rolls
afford the medium of relating the 2,500
churches of the Georgia Baptist Con
vention to the great call of . the cam
paign. Every worker’s name will ap
pear on this roll. The roll was de
signed by Ely R. Callaway, of l.a-
Grange, who is associate state director
for Georgia.
John W. Jenkins, director of organ
ization for Georgia, is meeting with
tlie heartiest support from the district
organizers, the association organizers
and the church organizers in the per
fecting of he service roll plan.
The information on the campaign
is going out iu daily loads from the
Atlanta office. There will he ample
provision for every Baptist in the
state to know in detail about tin*
campaign. The publicity department
will appreciate special requests far
literature where the regular channels
have failed to supply needs.
The speakers on the campaign are
|>uy every day. The associations fur
nish fine mediums for reaching the
people with inspiring addtesses, and
the workers are showered with e
quests to send speakers to every part
of the state to present the big move
ment. •
When asked a few days ago if
Georgia would raise her quota ot
seven and one-half millions and if the
South would raise the entire amount.
Or. Cree replied:

Striving After Strength.

“I am confident we will go orr
one handled millions."
This Is the spirit of the campaign
in every part of the state, and there
is every reason to believe that Geor
gia will be among the first to reach
her quota when the actual canvass
Is .made.
Good news conies from every part
of the state and from the South in
the campaign Several Georgi..
churches have raised their quotas, and
many associations! quotas are hsiug
raised hy the vote of the associations.
More than a dozen associations have
done this already.
The Atlanta and Macon and Colum
bus organizations are among the lead
ing city organizations thus far The
towns and smaller cities of ttie state
have gone forward with the work
In unanticipated fashion.
The First Baptist Churc'.- of Or'f
fin was th s first to be organized in
the state. The Morgan County Asso- j
elation was the first association to !
complete the organization out through '
every church. Many other associa
tions have done this now.
From Texas comes the word that
the Baptists of that state have raised
their quota from sixteen to seventeen j
million. This is the most remarkable j
illustration of the spirit iu which the
campaign is beiug received on record.
One man has given a million dol
lars in Texas. Other big gifts are
coining in from every part of the South
and it is expected that before the ac
tual drive for funds is made in De
cember that there wili !e five million
dollars in hand as a result of these
special and unsolicited gifts.
A number of big gifts are in pros
pect in Georgia and Dr. Cree hopes
to announce these before very .ong.
There has 'seen no effort to get these
gifts in Georgia yet, and the fact that
they are coming unsolicited is .good
evidijace of the response of the people
When the Georgia Baptist Conven
-1 tion meets iu Macon ia November, it
Is the plan of the officials of the cam
paign to have every worker in the
state present. ’ his w r ili reeult in ~u
attendance ot more than five thousand
people which will break all records f
any state convention in the South
"The campaign is going fine, and
we are very grateful for the co-oper
ation of Georgia Baptists," is the en
thusiastic comment of Dr. Cree.
