reported some substantial subscrip
tions and promises. A movement
is on foot to have Atlanta Bap
tists take, as Atlanta’s part, an
apportionment of one hundred thou
sand dollars, approximately the cost
of the Hospital property. Individuals
of means over the State have Indicated
a disposition to make liberal gifts.
The entire Bnptist constituency is be
ing tuned to sing a song of triumph.
A Half Million Dollars is a heap of
money but there are a heap of these
Baptist people and they have been
greatly blessed materially. Well or

plan, with the institutions themselves
heartily committed to the effort, with

Georgia Baptist Orphans' Home.
The Baptists of Georgia also own
and operate two most valuable and ef

are the Georgia Baptist Orphans’
Home at Hapevillo and the Georgia
Baptist Hospital at Atlanta.
The Georgia Baptist Orphans’ Home
started in the hearts and efforts of
ci few devoted Baptist women in At
lanta, who made provision for
some “war' orphans” just af
ter the Civil War. Fostered
and supported by the sacrifi
cial labors of the good women, this
institution grew until it was turned
over to (he State Convention in 1899.
The property is worth a quarter of a
million dollars and consists of seven
ty-two acres of land, six splendid brick
buildings, several frame buildings and
the necessary outhouses and general
equipment.

The Half Million Dollar Campaign.

Convention. Some suggestions as to

in its annual report in 1915. A special

to report.

Georgia Baptist Hospital.
The Georgia Baptist Hospital in At
lanta is another channel of blessing
through which the Baptists ore ren
dering signal service to humanity.
This Hospital is Baptist in its bur
dens and responsibilities but it is un
denominational and as broad as hu
manity in its blessings and benefits.
It is open to suffering humanity, ir
respective of creed, and is maintained
for the sick and suffering with no
thought of profit.
The Hospital plant is admirably lo
cated in the very heart of the city of
Atlanta, convenient and easily reach
ed from all points. The main building
is a three story brick structure. A
nine room frame building is the nurses
dormitory. Another brick building is
rented as an annex to the Hospital
and still another as the home of the
officials of the Hospital. Its capacity
Is taxed. Many are turned away for
want of room. Its success warrants
the.-plans on foot to enlarge its ca
pacity.
Equipment of the Hospital is thor
oughly modern and high grade
trie, banker. After the death of Col.
Clark, Hon. E. C. Collins of Reids-
ville, lawyer, was selected to fill the
vacancy.
At the Convention Inst November
this Committee of Five reported. An
entire session was given to consider
ation of the report and it was unani
mously adopted with great enthusi
asm. Briefly, the plan is to pool al
obligations of these institutions, t
make a single appeal for nil and t
launch a campaign for A Half Million
Dollars, to be distributed according to
the needs of each institution—the
whole amount to be raised before any
is disbursed.
The next effort of the Committee
of Five was to get a man
to direct the campaign. They
found the man in Mr. C. J.
Hood, banker and business man, of
Commerce, Ga., who is cheerfully and
generously giving himself and bis
money to the campaign. With him are
Y. Jameson, once
President of Mercer University and
now Managing Editor of The Chris
tian Index; Dr. L. A. Cooper, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Fitz
gerald, and Dr. T. W. Callaway, pastor
of the First Baptist Church of Dublin
Ga. In addition there is a stronj
general committee of thirty of I hi
lending Baptist business men and min
isters who are district, managers.
