BAPTISTS PLAN RECONSTRUCTION PB06MM |
CHARGED WITH DUTY OF OUTLINING HOW 75 MIL-
LION CAMPAIGN CAN PROMOTE THAT TASK REACHES
ILD—DR. LOVE OUTLINES THE NEED AND ISSUES CALL
To make a general survey of the
OOonomlc, social and religious condi
tions in Europe with a view to recom
mending to the Baptists of the South
where and how they can uid most ef
fectively in the reconstruction of that
continent through the Baptist 76 Mil
lion Campaign, a commission, com
posed of Dr. J. F. Love, secretary of
the Foreign Mission Board at Rich
mond, Va.; Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor Bap
tist Courier, Greenville, S. C., and Rev.
Everett Gill, missionary at Rome,
ftniy, who is returning after a leave
Of absence in this country, and who
will serve as guide and interpreter to
the other members, is now in Eng
land for a conference with the Bap
tists of Great Britain and will go from
there for au inspection or Frauco and
Belgium.
Another brief conference will be
held with the Baptists of Switzerland,
after which a trip will be made through
Italy and a survey of tho new repub
lic of Czeeho-Slovakia conducted. From
Prague, capita! of Bohemia, the com
mission will go into such parts of Rus
sia as are open, and the foreign trip
will be concluded with an inspection
Of Palestine, where tho missionary
work formerly done in Syria, Persia
and Galilee by the Illinois Baptist As
sociation has been turned over to the
Foreign Mission Board.
There are approximately 4,250 Bap
tist churches in Europe today, with
8,000 pastors and missionaries and 566,-
000 church members, it is announced
Hy the headquuriers of the Baptist 75
Million Campaign, and a considerable
avm from this campaign will go toward
succoring needy families of Baptists
god others in the war torn regions ns
was as in the propagation of the gos
pel and the establishment of Chris
tian institutions there, it is announced
Before soiling on the Adriatic on his
European mission, Dr. Love made the
following statement outlining the pur
pose of the commission:
"When the call came to help save,
promote and secure democracy in Eu
rope there came a louder call to help
save, promote and secure evangelical
Christianity In Europe. That which
alone will now preserve and perfect
the democracy for which nrave men
have died on the battlefield of Europe
is the Christianity of the New Testa
ment. Southern Baptists can not long
er profess New Testament Christian
ity and decline a challenge like that
which Is now presented to them to
I rear witness to their faith among the
peoples of Europe. Our people never
before faced such a challenge and such
responsibility.
Of course we can not go to the men
and women of Europe who have been
stripped of earthly fortune and reduced
to direst necessity with a message of
Christian love and brotherhood if we
decline in our abundance to carry
some substantial pledge of our love
and compassion. Mothers will not he
able to stay tho crying of their little
ones to hear us preach if we decline
to practice the gospel or compassion
and feed these little ones and build
firos at which they can during the com
ing winter warm their frosted toes.
Southern Baptists are under the most
solemn obligation to help relieve the
want and Ruffering of Europe. But if
ihere were no reconstruction work in
Europe, Southern Baptists nave mo
tives numerous enough and strong
enough to compel them to make a com
plete success of the Baptist 75 Mil
lion Campaign. 1 would therefore, as
my parting word to my brothers and
Bisters of the South, implore them to
give themselves to this campaign and
carry it to a triumphant conclusion
during Victory Week, November 80-
Dooemher 7."
$4,800,000 TO BE RAISED FOR HOSPITAL
A modern hospital illustrative pf the type of buildings Southern Baptists are
employing in the relief of human suffering.
In their work of relieving human
physical suffering Southern Baptists
at present own and control fourteen
hospitals and there are under course
of construction and about ready to be
opened at least two more, with consid
erable progress made toward the erec
tion of others. All of tnese institu
tions ure liberally patronized und are
self-supporting but all of them need
to be enlarged in order to meet the
rapidly-growing demands upon them,
fpe demand for charity work is espe
cially urgent and In order to enable
them to thus render a needed service
to those who are least able to help
themselves as well as to provide larger
facilities for the regular work the hos
pitals are doing the sum of $4,800,000
hps been apportioned to them from the
proceeds to be raised in the Baptist
75 Million Campaign.
This work of relieving the physical
infirmities of men, women and chil
dren and thus putting them on the
road to better health and larger effi
ciency and usefulness was begun with
in the bounds of the Southern Baptist
convention in 1890 when the Missouri
Baptist Sanitarium was opened in St.
Louis. From a very small beginning
in a residence with less than a dozen
beds, this institution has grown into
a modem institution with more than
?00 beds.
Other Baptist hospitals in the South
include Baptist Hospital, Muskogee,
Okla.; Baptist Hospital, Miami, Okla.;
Baptist Hospital, Cushing, Okla.; Bap
tist Memorial Hospital, Memphis,
Tenn.; Georgia Baptist Hospital, At
