European mission, Dr. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur
pose oi the commission:
“When the call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in Eu
rope there came a louder call to help
save, pregnote and secure evangelical
Christianity in Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which brave 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
bear 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 dire-1 necessity with a message of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not be
able to stay the crying of their little
ones to hear us preach if we decline
to practice the gospel of 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 m'ost
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and suffering of Europe. But if
there were no reconstruction work in
Europe. Southern Baptists have 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
m, 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.”
