Broughton Tabernacle Insti tution May Be Taken Over. At the Baptist convention In. Val dosta this week an effort will be made to Join the work of the Broughton Tabernacle Infirmary In Atlanta with the state work of the church. Thnt there Is need of a community of Inter ests nnd a practicable method of Join ing the work of the Infirmary Is shown In the fact that while the Baptists have high schools und colleges, orphans' homes and other Institutions, they have no state Infirmary, where the sick mnj be cared for. It Is believed that a plan will be devised by which the tabernacle can hold a controlling Interest In the Institution, with autborlty over Its management, while the church at large may be Interested.
