Baptist Church
News Notes
We were so glad to see such a
large number of church mem
bers and Christian friends
present at the service on Sun
day afternoon to welcome into
fellowship our new members.
We should make much of such
occasions, for it means much to
those who have confessed Christ
to find a hand of welcome held
out to them. Those also who are
uniting with the church by letter
should be made to feel that we
welcome their coming into the
ranks, and are ready to work
with (hem shoulder to shoulder
in the causes of Christ’s King
dom.
We were glad also that the
Sunday School showed the
marks of revival, and we are
looking for a wonderful work to
be done there this year.
The services at Ruhamah
were good and the attendance
at the B. Y. P. U., is increasing.
There was a very instructive
program on Sunday in which a
number took part. We congratu
late our Ruhamah young people
on the enthusiasm with which
they have taken up this B. Y. P.
U., work. It is going to prove a
great blessing and a wonderful
help in the development of those
who take part.
Services on Sunday will be at
Kingsland at the usual hours:
10.00 a. m., Sunday School.
10:00 a. m„ Bible Class.
11:00 a. m., Morning Worship,
Pastor’s Subject: “Loving the
Unseen.”
7:30 p. m., Evening Worship.
Pastor’s Subject: “Getting a
New Start.”
You are cordially invited to
attend all these services.
We are getting ready for the
Every-Member-Canvass. This
will be made almost immediate
ly. There may be some of our
members who do not under
stand the purpose of this
canvass. A simultaneous canvass

fj ( J f he Convention on this sub
“The supreme challenge con
fronting Southern Baptists to
day is the distressing fact that
there are six thousand mission
ary Baptist churches in the
Southern Baptist Convention,
non-cooperating and omissionary
in practice. We have not yet
demonstrated to the world that
we can walk together in the
great intensive and extensive
missionary program of Jesus,
until we have won these six
thousand Baptist churches with
their pastors to our great world
wide missionary and benevolent
program for the spread of
Christ’s Kingdom.
The very life-blood of Baptist
churches is missions. Missions
has made us wha we are. When
a church ceases to be missionary*
it is already on the toboggan
downward. The moment such a
church ceases to be missionary
that moment such a church
begins to die.”
Our church will fall in line
with the churches of the
Southern Baptist Convention
and every member will be asked
to pledge what he will do to help
the great program of the De
nomination.

Membership And
Self-Preservation
During the week following
November 8th, a Red Cross
worker in your community will
come to you to solicit your mem
bership to the Red Cross.
Increased burdens and res
ponsibilities have been placed
upon the Red Cross in the pre
sent crisis. Along with all other
nations of the world, the United
States suffers from depression.
Every community has its pro
blems of unemployment. The
country has weathered such
storms before, and will weather
this.
But meantime the people out
of work must be fed, clothed and
sheltered as if they were re
fugees in a great disaster, even
if they are victims of acute
economic distress rather than of
storm, they must be cared for.
With Camden county contri
buting a membership of eighteen
the Red Cross has given to
Camden county 77,772 lbs.
Flour; 3500 yds Cloth; 2500
Garments; 650 needy families
have been helped.
Only in one way can the Red
Cross carry on its present pro
gram and meet new emergencies,
and that is by increasing its
Call. membership in the coming Roll
Increased membership brings
increased revenues and increas
ed strength.

Amendment No. Four
Won’t Pass Says
Mayor Key
From all parts of Georgia re
ports are being received by
Mayor James L. Key that the
proposed amendment, ^umber (to
Four to be submitted the
people in the election November
8th will be defeated. The Mayor
is general chairman of-a com
mittee of farmers and business
men formed to fight this mea
sure. The bill'was passed on the
last night of the legislature with
little debate. The measure takes
away from counties, towns,
school districts and cities the
right to levy taxes on intangible
property.
J. Frank Pittman, Chairman
of the County Commission in
Thomas County, is one state
wide leader who is fighting the
adoption of the amendment,
while Dr. W. D. Jennings, Mayor
of Augusta, is leading the fight
in that part of the state. A
campaign committee composed
of twelve outstanding Georgians
has been formed.
Mayor Key will take the
stump to speak against the
measure. He has been invited to
speak at Thomasville and
Augusta and already has ap
peared at Marietta.
“We are opposing this mea
sure because it is unfair, because
it shifts the tax burden from
thos- most able io pay it to the
shoulders of those who are not
even able to pay their present
taxes.
“We are against the measure
because it has a misleading title.
It purports to exempt forestry
lands form taxation but there is
no such exemption in the body
of the bill. It is supposed to be a
classification of property tax
bill but it does nothing of this
kind. We are not opposed to the
passage of a scientifically pre
pared classification tax law
which would have teeth in it but
we are opposed to this ill-con
ceived and ill prepared bill.
“Passage of this bill will harm
every city, county and town
government in the state at a
time when such authorities have
been forced to cut down their
expenses to the limit. It will em
barrass every local school dis
trict that has voted a local
school tax.
“We are glad to hear that it
is going to be roundly defeated.
Every report we have received
shows the opposition is spon
taneous. The only persons sup
porting it are beneficiaries of
the bill.”

Wedding on Monday evening at
the Kingsland high school

Howard E. Coffin, prominent
financier who now makes his
home on Sea Island Beach, has
returned from a two weeks’ busi
ness trip to Washington, the
East and to Detroit, and he talk
ed aptimistically of the business
outlook today, predicting that
there would be a big upward
turn in industrial and com
mercial circles immediately after
the presidential election next

Mr. Coffin believes the busi

pending thp election, and no
matter whom the voter's of the

there will be a rapid change for
the better in business conditions.
Mr. Coffin declares that at
the present time there is a feel
ing of hesitancy throughout
the country and the populace
and industry are not making any
moves pending the outcome of
the election. However, after that
time the hesitancy will be re
moved and the nation will settle
down to cure the ills of the
