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.

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. COME AND WORSHIP WITH LIS ON SUNDAY! EVERY BODY IS WELCOME! Arthur Harrison, Pastor. 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. WOULD’NTWE BE KILL ING THE GOOSE THAT LAYS THE GOLDEN EGGS IF WE FAILED TO SUPPORT THIS ORGANIZATION? Virginia Lang Colson, Roll Call Chairman Camden County. 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.” Be sure and see the Bo-Peep Wedding on Monday evening at the Kingsland high school auditorium, at 7:30 o’clock.
