The tailor, on business lor the
county, in connection with the
rtc-nmatidation by the grand jury

ed, made a visit to Harris county
last week.
He found that more than two
years ago the County Commission,
er ot that county cieated the office
of count* police man for that coun¬
ty hi, ci imployed three men for all
of their time. At that time it is
said that conditions were deplora
bit as 10 violation of the prohibi¬
tion law—a large nunibe of white
men, as well as colored, being en¬
gaged in the illegal traffic.
Today, while here and there a
still or two is discovered, condi¬
tions are greatly improved, and
so p eased are the people with the
wink of their policemen that the
three have been recently contract¬
ed with for another year.
Jurors in that county, where
evicii nee is sufficient, don’t tail to
convict, and the Judge of the Su¬
perior court maK.es it a practice
to impose chuingang sentences,
and as a result 1 I 10 ciiaingang is

BAPTISTS PLAN RECONSTRUCTION PROGRAM
BODY CHARGED WITH DUTY OF OUTLINING HOW 75 MIL¬
LION CAMPAIGN CAN PROMOTE THAT TASK REACHES
FIELD—DR. LOVE OUTLINES THE NEED AND ISSUES CALL
To make a general survey of the
economic, social and religious condi
lions in Europe with a view to recom¬
mending to the Baptists of the South
where and how they can aid most ef¬
fectively in the reconstruction of that
continent through the BaptiHt 75 Mil¬
lion Campaign, a commission, com¬
posed of Ur. J. F. Love, secretary of
the Foreign Mission Board at Rich¬
mond, Va.; Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor Bap¬
tist Courier, Greenville, S. €., and Rev.
Everett Gill, missionary at Rome,
Italy, who i3 returning after a leave
of absence in this country, and who
will serve as guide and interpreter to
the other members, is now in Eng¬
land for a conference with the Bap¬
tists of Great Britain and will go from
there for an inspection or France and
Belgium.
Another brief conference will be
held with the Baptists of Switzerland,
after which a trip will be made through
Italy and a survey of the new repub¬
lic of Czecho-Slovakia conducted. From
Prague, capital of Bohemia, the com¬
mission will go into such parts of Rus¬
sia as are open, and the foreign trip
will be concluded with an inspection
of Palestine, where the missionary
work formerly done in Syria, Persia
and Galilee by the Illinois Baptist As¬
sociation has been turned over to the
Foreign Mission Board.

following statement outlining the pur¬
pose of the commission:
“When the call came to help savo,
promote and secure democracy in Eu¬
rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which Draco men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity of the New Testa¬
ment. Southern Baptists can not long¬
er profess New Testament Christian¬
ity and decline a challenge like that
which is now presented to them to
hear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
a responsibility.
Of course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message ol
Christian love and brotherhood if wa
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our leva
and compassion. Mothers will not ha
able to stay the crying of their little
ones to hear us preach if we doclino
to practice the gospel or compassion
and feed these little ones and build
fires at which they can during the com¬
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But if
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists na* e mo¬
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make a com¬
plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil¬
lion Campaign. I would therefore, as
my parting word to my brothers and
sisters of the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion
during Victory Week, November 30
December 7.”
