One of the large q and most power¬
in', iv. .-.iouss agencies’ that -serves
ciui'<; oi i hr isuaintj in the ■ "■ o..■-h, L
die j.ome xMisaion Board of
Southern Baptist Convention,
offices »u the Healey Bunding, at
lanta, Ga.
The tieid of action of this Board ex
tends from Maryland to New Mexico,
embracing Southern Illinois and ail
ihe South. The Board atso has In
Cuba and the Canal Zone,
about forty missionaries and as many
churches. Altogether it
wholly or in part 1,500
and workers, at a cost of
ly $150,00-:). This mission work in
South by- the Baptists is in addition
10 the $550,000 raised in the
states for purely state Mission work,
making a total of $1,000,000 a yem
expended by Southern Baptists in mis¬
sion effort in the South.
The work of the Baptist Home
sion Board embraces Co-operative Mis¬
sions in various states, with 1,200
sionaries; an Evangelistic Department
with twenty-five evangelists; a
try Church Department with twenty
field workers (in the first year of its
work); a Mountain Mission School
Department, with 150 teachers, thirty
four schools, 6,000 students and a prop
erty worth $600,000; an Indian
ment, with twenty missionaries; a Foe
eigner Department with forty-live mis¬
sionaries; a Church Building Depart¬
ment, which is now raising a $1,000,
000 Church Building Loan Fund; a
Negro Department with forty mission¬
aries, and a Publicity Department,
which distributes yearly about 12,
000,000 of free tract literature, be¬
sides as much more material through
its monthly mission magazine, The
Home Field, and through books
newspapers.
* The fiscal of the Board ends
year
on April 31, and more than $300,000
must be raised before then to enable
it to pay for the great activities which
this agency conducts for a Southern
religious body. Baptist
finite generaly make special contribu¬
tions to Home Missions in March and
April. The quota to be raised in
gia is $60,000. The Baptist churches
will in the next few weeks give
attention to meeting their apportion
inent to this great and successful
neficence.
One of the strongest incentives on
the part of pur churches to liberality
in supporting Home Missions, aside
from the good it does in making men
and society better and building up
not only a hope for the future life,
Cut a life here that is clean and
is that the impact of our American
life on other nations may not give the
lie to the words of our foreign mis¬
sionaries. There is an incongruity in
sending American missionaries and
American rum on the same ship
Africa. And when Chinese point
corrupt American politics, .corrupt ei*
ies, and an industrialism which
up human hope and life in its
as evidence-that Christianity does not
really save a nation, the missionary
is up against one of the most dam¬
aging deterrents to the force of
message.
Then, too, Home Missions through
the 300,000 foreigners who return from
our country annually to their
lands, has the opportunity, if it
reach these people with our
to send 300,000 missionaries a year
preach the gospel of Christ to the
of the earth. These will go at
own charges and without salary,
will understand their people
than our missionaries can hope to
derstand them. Certainly Foreign
sions has a right to expect that
lean churches will so support
Missions that the impact of
shall confirm and strengthen them
stead of weakening them.
Modern industrialism has greatly
tensified our Southern life. The
old days are gone. The South

with a minimum of outside aid,
has been more than
by outside encroachments, to
her lost fortune and to forge to
front as a part of the nation.

That denomination only will grow
rapidly which recognizes its obliga¬
tion to evangelize the vast multitudes
of m caved men and women. That
nmation must <ie which makes no

recruits.
What is the most effective kind of
evangelism? I’mean what kind of
evangelism can reach the great multi¬
tude of the lost in the most efficient
way and bring them both into the
church and enlist them for active
Christian service? The experience of
the last has clearfy shown that the
independent evangelist cannot do* this.
51 rt of these cannot eliminate the
temptation to make a show, for fu¬
ture engagements may depend upon
doing this. Some of these independ¬
ent evangelists were of the “wild-cat”
order, responsible to nobody, and the
breath, of their nostrils being sensa¬
tion.
When a great Christian body un¬
dertakes to make evangelism a part of
its program in its missionary endeav¬
or, and selects men of standing, who
have proven their devotion and depend¬
ability in religious service, the
churches may rest assured that their
evangelistic efforts will be of a con¬
structive and lasting character. They
will become expert in evangelism, but
their vision will not be narrowed down
niereiy to that work.
The growth of denominational evan¬
gelism accounts for the fact that there
are very few of the oldtime “wild-cat”
evangelists left. The independent
evangelists who have survived this
wise and dependable standai'd are
themselves responsible men. ...
The Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist' Convention has the
.
* distinction of having the only distinct
ive evangelistic dc j.artment of any de¬
nomination in the world. From its
small beginnings of eight years ago,
It has grown into a body of twenty
j live evangelists will probably and singers, be increas¬ which
number soon
j ed to forty. These men are trained
to work singly, two by two, or in larg¬
er groups, as no other body of men,
1 so that they are prepared to touch
i every phase of spiritual need, wheth¬
j er it be the rural districts, the moun¬
i tains, villages or cities.

There is a Negro evangelist who
