THE DOUGLAS ENTERPRISE, DOUGLAS, GA., OCTOBER 2. 1915
REVIVAL FIRES TO BLAZE IN GEORGIA
A Great Movement To Win The State
To Christ
Alex W. Bealer.
Georgia Baptists, under the leader
ship of Dr. Arch C. Cree, the new Sec
retary of Missions, are preparing to
light the revival fires in Georgia and
to keep them burning continuously for
four months by a great revival cam
paign that will begin in January and
last through April, sweeping across
the State from the sands of Florida
to the mountains of Tennessee.
Think of three hundred thousand
Baptists martialed for a warfare
agalnat spiritual wickedness in high
places as well as low. Think of a
thousand preachers engaged in a thou
sand meetings to win ten thousand
souls and more into the Kingdom of
Christ, and you will get some idea of
the greatness of this undertaking.
The War To Open In South Georgia
It will open in a number of
churches al. ng the Southern bor
der of the Btate. These meet
ings will start in South Georgia and
last for two weeks. A multitude of
Baptists all over Georgia will be pray
ing for them both in private and in
public. At the end of two weeks the
battle line will move northward to
other churches and thus until the
whole state has been covered.
In the past there have been many
kinds of union meetings held in Geor
gia and meetings that covered sections
and cities, but this is the first move
ment that has ever been inaugurated
to cover the State with revivals.
A Campaign That Has Been Well
Planned
This campaign has been well plan
ned. It will be conducted under the
auspices of the Mission Board of the
Georgia Baptist Convention. The en
tire evangelistic force of the Mission
Board made up of preachers and sing
ers, will be called into action, bu
there will also be many others, sinct
this force is not large enough to carry
on the war. The entire evangelistic
force of the Home Mission Board
about forty preachers and singers, un
der the direction of their leader, Dr.
Weston Bruner, will be engaged.
In addition to these more than HR
pastors have signified their willing
ness to contribute generously of time
and service to this campaign. Tht
plan is to let some of the North Geo;
gia pastors come to take part in the
South Georgia meetings, and when
the North Georgia meetings are in
progress some of the South Georgia
pastors will be pressed into service.
The New Secretary An Executive
This movement was born in the
heart of Dr. Arch C. Cree. He was
elected Secretary of the Board in the
early Spring to succeed Dr. J. J. Ben
nett. He was the Enlistment Secre
tary of the Home Mission Board of
the Southern Baptist Convention, and
was engaged in some meetings down
in Louisiana at the time of his elec
tion. Pie took charge of the office
on the first of May and has already
demonstrated that he is the man for
the place. As a young man he had
splendid business training which has
been used to good advantage since
then in his ministerial work.
He was well prepared for the minis
try when he entered it, having receiv
ed his education at Wake Forest Col
lege in North Carolina, where he took
the degree of Master of Arts, and from
there he took a course at the South
ern Baptist Theological Seminary,
Louisville, Ky., receiving his doctor's
degree. Since then he has been pas
tor of a number of prominent church
es and the Enlistment Secretary of the
Home Mission Board. In all of these
places he demonstrated his ability to
handle big movements and to lead
men in doing great things for God.
A Great Task Is Now Confronting Him
Without doubt the greatest task that
has ever confronted Dr. Cree is the
one in which he is now engaged. The
Board of which he is the Secretary
is charged with raising the money
that is needed to carry on the mis
sionary and educational work of the
Baptist denomination in Georgia.
It is now under the pressure of great
needs and is overloaded with responsi
bilities and indebtedness which must
be met to clear the way for a greater
work in the future. The clarion call
of the Board under the new leader is
“REDEEM GEORGIA.” We can help
to Redeem Georgia by blotting out the
debt, and with this end in view Dr
Cree has begun his work and pitched
his program for victory.
During May, June and July he held
conferences with the leading men in
thirty different associations and pro
jected campaigns to enlist all the
churches in a campaign for State Mis
sions. In August, September and Oc
tober, he has planned to visit thirty
other associations in their annual ses
sions to rally the Baptists to the task.
Sunday School Rally Day October 3rd
In addition to this a State Mission
Rally Day has been arranged for every
Baptist Sunday School in the State.
On this day, October the third, the
children will be enlisted in the work
of State Missions, and will receive an
educational and inspirational uplift
with a practical application to paying
off the Mission debt. This will be a
red-letter Sunday in the 1915 calendar
of Georgia Baptists. The Sunday
Schools aim to break their record for
Sunday School attendance and to raise
at least $10,000.00 on that day.
Many Churches Are Doubling Up
In this hour of stress and strain the
churches are being asked to double up
in their offerings for State Missions.
Many churches are responding to this
appeal by raising in cash an amount
in addition and equal to their regu
lar offering for State Missions. This
money will be devoted to liquidating
Woman’s Club.
The first fall meeting of the Wom
an’s Club will be postponed until
Tuesday, October 12, on account of
the Industrial Fair.
