In the face of the present financial
depression, Georgia Baptists have
rounded upthe first year of the 75
Million Campaign period in a great
victory. They gave $1,774,399.74 to the
causes included in the campaign dur
ing the year just closed. This js more
than a million dollars more than Geor
gia Baptists ever gave in any pre
vious year. All this in the face of
the fact that the majority of Georgiai
Baptists are affected by the farming

MAKING THREE HUNDRED BOYS AND GIRLS HAPPY
This freight car ‘was loaded to capacity with good things to eat by the
Baptists of the Campbell and Mercer Associations and shipped to the Georgia
Baptist Orphanage at Hapeville. The picture here shows the boys at the
home unloading the car on Christmas Eve, :
nificant. This extraordinary report
was read before the recent session of
the Georgia Baptist Convention and
was received as high tribute to the
faithful spirit in which Georgia Bap
tists are keeping the pledges they
made a year ago to this five year pro
gram.
With such a record for the rirst
year of the campaign period, Georgia
Baptists have set their faces to the
tasks of 1921 with a hearty confidence
in the co-operative spirit which they
have develop&d this first year and
with the determination that they will
make a still better report to the ome
hundredth session of the convention
which meets December 7-9, 1921, in
Savannah.
The New Year holds many Increased
opportunities of service for the Chris
tian people of the world and Georgia
Baptists are entering every open door
with the hope that they may help to
carry forward the program of Jesus
Christ to the utmost bounds of the
earth. The present European plans
which = the Baptists of the United
States and of every other nation in
the world have adopted, gives to
Southern Baptists all of southern Eu
pe as territory for which we are re
';)onsible in the preaching and teach
ing of Christianity. The peoples of
these nations are heartily responding
to the work of our Foreign Mission
Board, and this one aspect of the
work offers unlimited expansion of
the work of the denomination during
the year. :
Southern Baptists are also joining
in the campaign to relieve the imme
diate suffering in China and Europe,
caused by famine and the general re
sults of the war. This work is chal
lenging many of our people to real
sacrifice. The offerings made to this
work are being transmitted by our
own Foreign Mission Board and placed
in the hands of the sufferers at a
minimum expense. Contributions for
this relief work should be sent to
Arch. C. Cree, Treas., Flatiron Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga., and designated as for
“Special Relief.”
Our Home Mission Board 18 meet
fng the increasing calls that come
to this great department of the de
nomination, and is thereby having to
ask that our people meet the pledges
to the campaign promptly, thus giving
the board funds with which to carry
on this great work. The immense
sum of $2,900,000 was appropriated the
first year of the campaign by the
Home Board. Editor Edmonds of the
Manufacturers’ Record recently said,
“The work of the Home Mission Board
is fundamental in America’s service to
the world.” Georgia Baptists are glad
te have a part in this great work and
to have the board located in this
state.

vention and having te do with our own

Georgia people it may be said that
ievery department is planning to make
‘the year 1921 the banner year in the
work of the white Baptist of this
state. The Mercer-University System
of Schools and Colleges is one of the
high peaks of Christian education .ip
the South at this time. This group of
Baptist 'schools and colleges represents
one of the most constructive education
al programs ever launched by any de
nomination. With Mercer University
at the head of the system and with
Bessie Tift College and the dozen or
more preparatory schools forming the
complete system, the Baptist of Geor
gia have a good start .in the great
work of teaching and training the
youth of the state. President Rufus
W. Weaver of Mercer University has
been elected chancellor of the entire
system and in co-operation with the
heads of the several institutions he is
working out a really great plan for the
schools. There are more students in
each of the institutions than have at
tended in any previous year.
The Orphans’ Home at Hapeville is
an institution,in which Georgia Bap
tists have alw&ys found great joy. The
cut in this story shows the generous
manner in which the Campbell and
Mercer Associations have recently re
membered the home by sending a car
loaded with good things for the home.
This car is estimated to have been
worth a minimum of $3,000 to the
home. It should be stated here that
these gifts are all the more magnani
mous, when it is remembered that such
gifts are not credited on the 75 Mil
lion Campaign. They are made as
voluntary expressions of esteem on
the part of the individual -churches.
The Georgia Baptist Hospital is rap
idly enlarging and will soon be one
of the largest hospitals in the South.
The recent session of the convention
authorized t'he hospital board to carry
forward the building plans of the new
hospital plant in Atlanta, and if nec
essary to issue a million and a half
dollars’ worth of bonds. The institu
tion is doing a great work, and not
only Georgia Baptists, but all Geor
gia people, appreciate its service.
The evangelistic work of the de
uomination reached new high records
last year, and the Baptists of Geor
gia feel that this phase of the work
must have first place in the plans
for 1921. Rev. T. F. Callaway has
returned to the state and is at the
head of the evangelistic staff. It is
believed that there were more than
30,000 baptisms in 1920 and every pas
tor and lay member in the state will
strive to make the number not less
than 50,000 in 1921. The enlistmefit
department works hand in hand with
the evangelistic department in teach
ing and developing the entire program
of the denomination.
The Christian Index, the denomina
tion’s own paper, has recently observ
ed its centennial with an extraordinary
edition which is enjoying a wide cir
culation. The convention itself will
reach its hundredth aniversary in 1922,
at which time there will be suitable
observance of the occasion,
Mercer University is soon to reach
its centennial also.
Georgia Baptists, join with other
Christians of the Empire State "in
striving to make the New Year the
best period in the life of our state
and of the world.
