an Advisory Campaign Committee
made up of the three persons
above named, the Campaign Com
missioner from that state, the
editor of the Baotist paper, the
Secretary and Vice-President of
the Woman’s Work, and the
Chairman of the Laymen’s organi

these State Organizers to organize
the sub-divisions in each state,
called Associations on Districts.
Each of these Associations or Dis
tricts will have an Organizer and
a Publicity Director, and these
will organize the churches, with a
General Director, preferably the
pastor; and an Organizer, some
select layman, and an Organizer
representing the Woman’s Work.
All these organizations are to be
aided by volunteer workers, from
among men and women.

“Baptist 75 Million Campaign. The
time for the big drive will be

land, and all the state organiza
tions are throwing themselves full
length and full strength into the
campaign. Three million Baptists
are to go in and put it over. It is
to be the greatest and most mean
ingful campaign movement ever
inaugurated bv Southern Baptists.
Its issues to the cause of Christ
are incalculable. This money will
help every phase of religious life
represented by Baptists through
out the whole world. It is expec
ted that every Baptist Church,
more than twenty-five thousand
of them, and every Baptist mem
ber, more than three million, will
put themselves in great fashion
into this movement.
State Teachers’ Examination.
The state teachers’ examination
will be held at the school building
in McDonough on Friday and
Saturday, August Ist and 2nd.

He Was Almost Past Going.
“I suffered with kidney trouble
for three years,” writes D. Bell,
St. James City, Fla., “and for the
past six months I have been al
most past going. I couldn’t stoop
down and when I would lie down
I could hardly get up. I began
taking Foley Kidney Pills, and
before using two bottles my pains
were all gone.” They are prompt
in action and quick to relieve
backache, rheumatic pains, stiff,
swollen joints and sore muscles.

To Our Friends and Customers:
Beginning August Ist we will be compelled to accept no
cars for repairs except FORDS. This becomes necessary on
account of the increase in the number of FORDS in this terri
tory and consequent increase in repair work. We wish to
assure all of our customers that we genuinely appreciate their
former patronage and we will continue to wash and grease
and render minor repairs to other cars, but when a job has to
go to the shop we cannot handle it, as we are obliged to give
FORDS preference. To all FORD owners we wish to say
that we will be better enabled to give you prompt and efficient
service on your FORDS and further, that all parts used in our
shop are GENUINE FORD PARTS. It has been proven
that spurious or counterfeit FORD parts will not hold up like
the genuine Ford Parts. Our prices on repair work is fixed
by the Ford Motor Company and is very reasonable in every
particular, as is every other feature of the FORD system.
The machinery and equipment recently installed enables
us to repair your FORD in the shortest possible time.
