the helm of the great campaign since
its origin, they will be specially effec
tive in their appeals. at the Macon
meeting, just on the eve of the can
vass for the money. No offerings will
be asked at the Macon meetings.
The campaign is rapidly coming to
the climax, it is just a matter of
days now until Georgia Baptists will
be put to their first great test. From
every quarter of the state reports come
in glowing terms of support, which will
be given in every church in the state.
A few churches have already put on
the campaign because of local condi
tions and in every instance there has
been an overwhelming victory.
Sargeant, a small country church in
the Western Association, has a quota
of SI,OOO. They put the drive on a
few days ago, and subscriptions
amounting to $4,600 were quickly
made. Central Baptist Church in
Newnan is the first large church to
put the campaign on. ‘ The church
had an apportionment of $75,000 and
the first afternoon $87,000 was sb
scribed. The paster, Dr. Frank Har
dy, states that they will easily go
over SIOO,OOO by the date of the ac
tual canvas^.
There have been a number of indi
vidual gifts in Georgia. Mr. W. W.
Brookes of Atlanta have given SSO,
000. Mr-J&F. Shean of Crawford has
given %2MSW. There are a number oi
£IO,OOO gifts. i
With the B. Y. P. U. people, the Sun
day School people, the W. B. M. U
people and the representatives of the
churches proper, there will be such
a gathering of Baptists in Macon on
November 18-20 as shall write anew
chapter in the religious life of tbis
state for all days to come. No ier
ested Baptists in the state can af
ford to miss this meeting. Make your
plans now to attend. If you cannot
stay through the entire meeting you
can at least plan to be there for the
two big mass meetings on the loth and
19th. .
Full announcement of programs and
other details will be made in next
week’s papers.

! IS YOUR COUNTY IN THE LIST!
In the fight that has been instituted
by the Federal Government and the
Georgia State Board of Health, it ha?
been thought best to try and bring the
treatment home to the people as neat
as possible. To this end we have es
tablished in Rome, Atlanta, Augusta
Macon, Columbus, Brunswick and Sa
vannah, clinics for free treatment ol
Gonorrhoea and Syphilis tor all whe
apply. These clinics are conducted'
jointly by the city, county, state and 1
Federal Government.
Every city of ten thousand or more
should organize a dime, as this is
one of the most efficient, as well as
most economical ways of handling thtj
cases. If your city is not in the above I
list, way not appoint a coiuai.ttce to 1
investigate and s’tart a clinic?
Reahzing that Georgia hems lar .'j
