NEW EVANGELISTIC RECORD
FOR FIVE YEARS IS SET
UP IN THE SOUTH.
More than one million new mem
bers have been received into the Bap
tist churches of the south by baptism
alone during the past five years, ac
cording to a survey by Dr. E. P. All
dredge, statistical secretary of the
Southern Baptist convention. The ex
act figures, 1,037,550 baptisms, set a
new record not only for Southern Bap
tists. but for any evangelical body in
America, the records reveal. This
achievement is equivalent to 24 bap
tisms for every hour, 576 for every
day, 3,990 per week, 17,292 per month
and 207,510 per year,
Prominent in the achievement of
this result has been the home mission
board of the Southern Baptist conven
tion, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga.
This board, organized eighty ycnni
ago, has, within that time, more than
a million baptisms and 1,426,386 addi- |
tions to the churches to show for the
labors of its missionaries, while the
agents of the board have within that
period raised and disbursed in mission
work in the south, Panama and Cuba
the sum of $18,213,336.10.
Last 22 Years Productive.
The larger part of these achieve
ments of the home board has come
during the past 22 years, covering the
secretaryship of Dr. B. D. Gray. Un
der Dr. Gray’s administration the
workers of the board have baptized
662,497 persons, received 1,122,344 per
sons into the churches and organized
4997 new churches. Within the same
period the agents of the board have
raised and disbursed in mission work
the sum of $14,723,595.87.
The evangelistic department of thc‘
Fome mission board has been its
greatest single evangelistic asset. This
department has been without an active
head recently, but the board has just
called to that position Dr. Ellis A.
Fuller of Greenville, S. C.
Southiern Baptists have been far
more successful in winning converts
and church members than they have
been in the general spiritual develop
ment of the members, it is pointed
out.. In the hope of bringing about
a development of the 3,574,531 mem
bers of the denomination to the point
where all of them will have a share in
supporting all the missionary, educa
tional and benevolent work fostered
by the denomination an “every mem
ber” canvass will be conducted in a
majority of the 27,000 Baptist church
es throughout the south. As fully as
possible individual Baptists are being
urged to give a tenth of their income
to Christian work.
So extensively have the various mis
sionary and benevolent enterprises
fostered by southern Baptists grown
in recent years that it now requires a
minimum of $12,000,000 per year to
keep the work growing. Each state
is being asked to provide its propor
tionate share of this amount. The state
boards, in turn, are asking the respec
tive associations in” their states to ac
cept definite quotas for 1926, and the
associations, in turn, are asking the
local churches to assume a definite
proportion of the associational object
ive for the year.
DIED FEW MINUTES AFTER
RECEIVING PENSION CHECK
Well-Known Calhoun Citizen Dies at
Age of 80 Years.
George F. Cole, one of the county’s
oldest and best known citizens, died
at his home in Morgan last Monday
shortly before noon. His death came
suddenly and with surprise to his de
voted wife and friends. Though -he
had been in feeble health for some
time he was able to get about and
just forty minutes before his death
he was handed his pension check by
Judge A. 1. Monroe.
Mr. Cole was eighty years of age,
and was born in Randolph county. He
came to Calhoun county when a boy,
and for a long time worked with the
late Captain Phil Boyd, of Leary,
having cleared up and farmed Iland
near Arlington. Later he moved to
Morgan and has long made his home
there. He was always interested in
the public affairs of the county.—Cal
houn County Courier.

riage garage in New York is one of

the times.—Milwaukee Journal.

’CARRIES HIS WIFE'S ASHES
FOR MORE THAN TWO YEARS
‘With Him During Day and Beside
| Him as He Slept.
For two dreary, lonesome years
George *P. Vassillades, a Greek, car
ried a little steel box with him con
stantly. During the day it was under
his arm wherever he went. At night
it was beside him as he slept. It con
tained the ashes of his wife.
Vassillades came to this country
with his wife, his baby and his moth
er-in-law more than two years ago.
The mother-in-law was held up at El
lis island by the immigration author
ities. The wife was sickly. She died
soon after her arrival. Her body was
cremated.
Vassillades feared some unknown
American burial custom would rob
him of his wife’s body. He solved his
dilemna through cremation and then
the lone vigil over her ashes.

FARM COLLEGE
By Practical Experience Will Learn if
Scientific Methods He Has Been
Teaching Are Workable.
O. W. Carswell, who for the past
four#years has been teaching agricul
ture at the Third District A. and M.
school, has tendered his resignation.
Mr. Carswell announces his purpose
to devote his time to a farm he has
bought in Sumter county.
Mr, Carswell, when questioned in
regard to his reason for moving to
the farm, says if there are any profits
or advantages to be gained from sci
entific farming he is entitled to enjoy
them. If, says he, scientific agricul
ture which he has been teaching is
not workable then it is very unwise
for him to continue to teach and en

PUBLISHER LAMBASTS THOSE
WHO WANT CONGRESS TO
STOP SUNDAY PAPERS.
ATLANTA, Ga.—And now con
gress is to be asked to take away the
Sunday newspaper. " -
It 'is about time that the minority
ceased imposing their ideas on the ma
ljorit_\' through clever manipulation of
igo\'crmnemal bodies, in the opinion
of anti-reformers here. It is even
'moro reprehensible, it was pointed
out, when this outrage is perpetrated
lin the name of morality and religion.
“Where these Napoleons of purity
Igct the divine authority to turn the
world from its peaceful contemplation
of its Sunday newspaper is beyond
us,” said an Atlanta publisher.
“Why, it places the Sunday news
paper along with some of the con
temptible ‘common nuisances,’” such as
'saloons, dives, obscene pictures and
houses of lill repute. In other words,
the Sunday newspaper is a menace, a
leech on the body politic, sucking out
the moral life-blood of the communi
ty, to such an extent that congress
must step in and deliver a mora]ly!
depraved public from reading of the
march of events, simply because the}
account of the happenings is printcdl‘
and distributed on Sunday.
“Fie, twaddle and also bosh! On bc—l
hali of all the fine representative,
clean, informative, honest and straight
forward Georgia and southern Sunday
newspapers we must emphatically|
protest this foul calumny, this bigoted
disparagement of a valuable right arm]
of fair dealing and good government
—the Fourth Estate. The newspaper
but reflects the good and bad in hu-l
mans. Let them mend their ways and
the Sunday newspaper will then re
flect a good image instead of a bad
one. Sic semper tyrannis!”
