SEE US THAT
FOR 1-- PLEASES
SUCCESSFUL YEAR
HAD BY BAPTISTS
Convention at Houston Heard Many
Gratifying Reports on Work.
Evolution Denounced.
$9,000,000 GOAL IS SET
This Objective for Miaeion* and
Benevolences to Be Bought By
Co-operative Program Commis
sion for 1927.
Following an unusually good rec
ord in the work of the local churches
and large achievements on the mis
sion fields, there has just been held
at Houston, Texas, one of the most
successful sessions of the Southern
Baptist Convention in recent years.
The session was marked by unusual
unity, definiteness of purpose and
determination to carry forward the
work of the Co-operative Program.
DR. GEO. W. McDANIEL
President Southern Baptist Con
vention.
Following the re-election of. Dr.
George W, McDaniel, Richmond, Va.,
as president, he sounded in his inau
gural address a conviction on the
theory of evolution that was prompt
ly and unanimously adopted by the
Convention as its own sentiment.
Dr. McDaniel said:
“I am happy to believe that this
Convention accepts Genesis as teach-'
ing that man was the special Crea
tion of God and rejects every theory,
evolution or other, which teaches
that man originated in, or came Ay
way of, a lower animal ancestry.”
With the evolution question dis
posed of, the Convention was able
to proceed with a consideration of
its great missionary and benevolent
enterprises.
Here are some of the outstanding
developments of the Convention:
GOAL OF $9,000,000 SET UP
1. In the hope, of enabling the
mission boards and other- agencies
of the Convention to take care of
their indebtedness gradually without
having to too greatly curtail their
present work, an objective of $9,000,-
000 for missions, education and be
nevolences' was set up for 1927, on
recommendation of the Co-operative
Program Commission. This money
will be applied to foreign, home and
state missions. Baptist schools,
orphanages and hospitals and minis
terial relief, thus taking care of
both the state and Southwide Bap
tist work. It is hoped, the South
wide portion of the budget will
amount to at least $4,000,000.
2. An effort will be made to en
list 500,000 tithers during the next
year.
3. The Foreign Mission Board
reported 13,269 baptisms on its fields
during the year, a gain of about
1,000 over the previous year. The
board has 1,215 churches on the for
eign fields with 140,488 members,
3,247 out-stations wheup preaching
aervices are held from time to time,
and 528 missionaries and 2,644 na
tive Christian workers employed in
17 countries.
4. Among the results for the year
reported by the Home Mission Board
were 833 missionaries employed,
19,744 baptisms, 35,226 additions to
the churches, 100 new churches and
458 Sunday schools organized, and
402 church houses built or improved.
DENOMINATION GREW DURING
YEAR
5. The Sunday School Board re
ported total business receipts for the
year of $1,710,471. Of this amount
$380,344 was put back into the gen
eral work of the denomination. A to
tal of 89,038 awards in teacher
training were made, 403 churches
were aided by the Architectural De
partment in drawing plans for new
houses of worship, the number of
standard Sunday schools reached 546.
With the gains for the past year
the main figures of the denomina
tion are now given by the statistical
secretary of the Convention as fol
lows: 26,467 churches, 19,908 or
dained ministers, 3,649,330 church
members 21.760 Sunday schools with
2,681,828 pupils, 20,965 church
houses, 3,19 i pastors’ homes, $165,-
909,275 invested in local church
property $30,771,574 contributed to
local church objects, $8,255,405 to
missions and benevolences and $39,-
027,099 to all purposes during the
past year.
The time is now ripe for a dis
tinct Baptist advance all along the
line and especially in a support of
me great missionary and benevolent
enterprises fostered by the Co
operative Program, the Convention
ki'-uers believe.

TO FOLLOW AT ONCE
Butts county peaches are now mov

An express shipment of seventy
five crates was made Wednesday

the successful peach growers of the
county. They were of the Carmen
variety.
Other growers who are making
shipments includ Col. C. L. Redman.
The main peach movement from

expect better prices than have pre

Gi’ovvers have taken excellent care
of the peach crop, following the
spraying schedules as recommended
by the state and federal laboratory
