By Louie D. Newton.
In the fate of the present financial
depression, Georgia Baptists have
rounded up the first year of the 75
Million Campaign period in a great
victory. They gave 51,774,399.74 to Ihe
causes included in the campaign dur
ing the year just closed. This is 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 Georgia
Baptists are affected by the farming
interests, makes the victory most slg-
Georgia people It may be said that
every 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 In
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

nlficant. 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 y ar pro
gram. L,
With such a record for the mat
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 developed this first year and
with the determination that they wilt
make a still better report to the one
hundredth session of the convention
which meets December 7-9, 1921, In
Savannah.
The New Yeai 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 Jesua
Christ to the utmost hounds of the
earth. The present European plana
which the Baptists of the United
States aad of every other nation In
the world have adopted, glvea to
Southern Baptists aU of southern Eu
rope as territory for whleh we are re
sponsible In the preaching aad teach'
log of Christianity. The peoples of
these nations are heartily responding
to the work of our Foreign Mission
Board, and this ona aspect of the
work offers unlimited expenaion of
the work of the denomination during
the year.
Southern Baptists are also Joining
In the campaign to relieve the imme
diate suffering in Chins and Europe,
caused by famine and the general re
sults of the war. This work la chal
lengtng many of our people to real
sacrifice. The offerings made to this
.^work are being transmitted by our
own Foreign Mission Board and placed
.la the hands of the autterera at -
minimum expense/ Contributions for
this relief work should be sent to
Arch. C. Cree, Treaa., Flatiron Bldg,
Atlanta, Ga„ and designated as for
3"Special Relief."
Our Home Mission Board la meet'
' Ing 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
,ito the campaign promptly, thus giving
- the board funds with which to carry
on this great work. The Immense
sum of 22,900,000 was appropriated the
first year of the campaign by the
-Homo 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
to have a part in this great work and
to have the board located in this
state.
. the wor k which is more directly
handled by the Georgia HaptUt Con
yeotion and having to do w'.th our own
Bessie Tift College and the dozen or
more preparatory schools forming the
complete system, the Baptlat of Geor
gia have a good start in the great
work of teaching and training the
youth of the etate. President Rufus
W. Weaver of Mercer University has
been elected chancellor of the entire,
system and in co-operation with the
hsads 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.
Ths Orphans’ Home at Hapevllle la
an institution in which Georgia Bap
tists have always found great joy. The
cut in this story shows the generous
manner in which the Campbell and
Meroer 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 $9,000 to the
home. It should be stated here that
these glfta are all the mors magnani
mous, when it is remembered that auch
glfta are not credited on the 7i Mil
lion Campaign. They are made aa
voluntary expressions of esteem on
the part of the iadlvidaal churches.
The Georgia Baptlat Hospital it rap
idly enlarging and will soon be one
of the largest hospitals in the South.
The recent suasion of the convention
authorised the hospital board to carry
forward the building plana of the new
hospital plant la Atlanta, and if acc
essary to issue a million and a half
dollars' worth of bonds. The institu
tion la doing a grant work, aad not
only Georgia Baptists, but all Geor
gia people, appreciate Its service.
The evangellatic work of the de
nomination reached new high records
last year, and tha Baptists of Geor
gia feel that this phase of the work
must have first placa la the plana
for 1921. Rev. T. F. Callaway has
returned to the state and la at the
head of the evangelistic staff. It is
believed that there were more than
10,000 baptisms in 1920,and every pas
tor and lay member in tire 'state will
atrive to make the number not lesa
than 50,000 in 1921. The enlistment
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 anlversary 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.
FLEES THE TABLE D’HOTES
Scientists Conesntrate on Separating
It From Viand*, but Without Suc
cess—Differ a* to What a
Vitamin* Really Is.
New York.—Food values are of es
pecial iuterest' these days of high
prices.
One dines at, say, a restaurant In
New York city’s "Latin Quarter,"
fumed for Its atmosphere but uncer
tain ns to cooking. The food Is men
tioned casually on the menu In sev
eral languuges—but the chicken Is
tasteless, the potatoes boring and the
salad disappointing. However, one Is
hungry and euts largely. An hour
later, the pangs of hunger again make
themselves felt. One Anally resorts to
the home Icebox and partakes of some
humble bread and butter and milk,
and that indeAnnble lack Is satisAed.
The reason for this state of affairs
is not fur to seek. Vltamlnes 1 At
such places the food Is deAclent In
these intangible and microscopic sub
stances, which scientists have proved
are essential to nutrition and which
ure to he found in a large number of
properly prepared foods but are de
stroyed by excessive heat, drying or
other methods of preservation often
employed for economy or convenience.
The mystery of the vltamlne is, there
fore, of vital interest, ns Its name Im
plies, to the world at large.
What la a Vitamin#?
Just what Is a vltamlne? This quea-
tlon Is still perplexing chemists, ac
cording to a recent article by D.
Atherton Seidell of the public health
service, In the current number of the
Journal of Industrial and Engineering
Chemistry. These elusive substances
have been found necessary not only as
dietary factors but even for the pro
longation of life. Their exact nature,
however, still remains a mystery,
though much has been discovered con
cerning their effect on the human sys
tem and the general benedts conferred
by them. For Instance, experiments
have proved that animals can live In-
deAnltely on a diet of milk alone. But
supply all ths constituents of milk
separately — proteins, carbohydrates,
fats and salts, In fact, all the known
food elements—and the animal wastes
away and Anally dies.
Several thoorles are held In regard
to this problem. Some scientists In'
cllne to classify vltamlnes as struc
tural compounds of living tissues,
which function along the same lines
as the other tissues. Others relegate
them to the “catalysts," those strange
substances which have been aptly de-
Aned as “chemical parsons,” as they
accomplish the chemical union of
various substances without being
themselves affected. Many think that
they are derived originally from
plants, and one well-known scientist
■tatea that they are always present
in natural foodstuffs instinctively con
turned by men and animals.
Three Typee of Vitamin*.
At the present time, three types of
vltamlne are known to exist: Ths
water-soluble variety, found in milk,
yeast, and other substances; the fat-
soluble ones, which are present In but
ter and egg yolks; and a third class,
designated as “antiscorbutic,” which Is
found In a number of fresh vegetables
and fruits and also In the outside
husk of rice., JLack of these necessary
food constituents results la varloas
ills—scurvy, berl-berl, and other dis
eases.
In fact, the Importance of the anti
scorbutic factor was discovered purely
accidentally, aa a result of an epidem
ic of berl-berl 'among the rlce-eatfng
Eastern nations after modern milling
methods obtained In these countries
and the surface layer of the rice was
removed. When an extract of this
husk was sv,eptually supplied, the die
'ease’was prevented. ’ >
Lack of both the other types of vita
mine result In- a gradual wasting
away. u This, In the cqse of the f%f-
soluble vltamlne. Is accompanied by
blindness and often by lung trouble,
hut the wasting process Is more grad:
ual, as the system subsists for a while
on its reserve store of fat.

Shanghai.—The (irst step In an ef
fort toward uniformity in Chinese
currency will he undertaken by the
building here of Chinn’s first national
mint. The work will be directed by
an American mint exi>ert, Clifford
Hewitt of ridladclphlu, whose serv
ices have been loaned lo Chinn by the
United States, and who came here a
short time ago to begin his duties.
Mr. Hewitt Installed the new mint at
Manila, the Arst established In the
Philippines.
It Is expected that the completion
of the new Chinese mint will put nn
end to the conglomerate system of cur
rency of all kinds and values which
has long been a drag on the commer
cial progress of China.
While the Mexican dollnr, Introduced
Into China from the Philippines, has
come to be n common unit of value,
the various tuchuns, governors and
other ofAcluls of provinces huve Issued
coins that are denlt with commercial
ly at values based on the quantity of
their silver content. The Chinese tnel
In which government ’ funds and cus
toms ordinarily ure reckoned, Is not a
coin at nil, but a silver slug of a giv
en weight and Aneness, differing In
weight and value in the different prov
inces.
The Shanghai mint Is to cost about
$2,000,000 and will be one of the largest
In the world, rivaling In size nud output
the mint nt Philadelphia. It Is to
have a capacity of 500,000 silver dol
lars a day with a dally consumption
of 14 tons of silver In addition • to
bnBer metals used as ulloys. Mr. Hew
itt hopes to have the plant completed
and In operation within two years.
He Is the originator of many of the
machines and processes In use In
American mints, having been In the
service of the United States govern
ment 24 years. He was builder of the
American mints at Denver and Phil
adelphia.
