Baptist World Alliance
Educational Meeting
Says Education, Please Column
BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE
The educational values of such a meet
ing as the Baptist World Alliance held
in Atlanta July 22-28 are outstanding. It
has been conservatively estimated that
40.000 visitors from out of the state of
Georgia came to Atlanta for this meet
ing of world-wide interest, and as many
as 60,000 have attended some of the out
standing programs that were presented.
SPIRITUAL VALUES
The Education, Please column would
like to call attention to the tremendous
spiritual values that are to be derived
from such a meeting as this. First of all,
it is a meeting of world-wide importance,
more than sixty nations being represent
ed by official delegations. At a time such
as the one which the world is now fac
ing for sixty nations to send representa
tives to a gathering whose sole purpose
is to promote the interests of the King
dom of God on earth will undoubtedly
make an impression on the spiritual con
sciousness of the world that will bear
wholesome fruit for the future. The pres
ent era in the world’s history is one of
stress and strain. There is a restlessnesss
among the nations that indicates fear
and distrust, and to a certain degree,
hopelessness. It is no small thing that
here we have 40,000 people gathering in
one central point to magnify by their
presence the importance of the better
way of life which the Christian Church
promotes. This singular emphasis on spir
itual values is everywhere noticeable in
this great assembly. On Saturday, when
there was a parade of the nations thru
downtown Atlanta, it was a thing to be
remarked upon that here were thousands
of people from other states, other lands,
and other countries, parading through
the streets of Atlanta, which were lined
by other multiplied thousands of interest
ed on-lookers. This parade was led by
bands, playing, not martial music, but
spiritual hymns that have been the life
of the church. One did not feel that here
was simply fanfare and sound of trum
pets, but a profound spiritual movement
that was running in deep currents thru
the lives of the people. A thing like this
is not to be seen more than once or twice
in a lifetime.
EDUCATIONAL VALUES
This column has called attention more
than once to the universality of the
need of educational agencies. No less im
portant to both the church and to Amer
ican democracy are the strictly education
al values that are also magnified in this
assemblage. First of all, let us remark
that most, if not all, of those who came
into our boundaries as delegates are men
and women of culture and refinement.
Os course, the leaders are outstanding
figures and are known throughout the
Christian world. Dr. George W. Truett
is, without doubt, one of the greatest
living preachers in the world today. His
spirit of evangelism has set burning fires
in the hearts of the nations that will
last long and be effective in the building
of Christian character and in the defeat
of the evil forces of the world. But not
to speak of the great leaders such as Dr.
Truett, and thinking only of the rank
and file, we still have a group of edu
cated and cultured people. Now, to make
our estimate more conservative, let us
say that there were 35,000 visitors to
Atlanta on this occasion. It happens that
we have 35.000 white adult illiterates in
Georgia. Men and women who can not
read. Men and women who, lacking the
ability to read, have been denied some
of the fine fruits of culture and develop
ment that reading affords. If Atlanta
were asked to choose as to which group
of 35,000 it would prefer to have as
guests of the city, would it choose the
35,000 cultured Christians, or the 35.000
illiterates who have not had an even
break in life. Or. to put it more dis
tinctly practical, if the business houses
of Atlanta, the department stores, the
hotels, the restaurants, etc., were asked
to make their choice, which group would
they have come to spend a week or ten
days in the city? In the light of such
comparison, does anyone question the ma
terial values of education?
Education, Please, speaks in no uncer
tain terms in its appeal to the people of
Georgia to rally to the cause of educa
tion and promote that which will bring
to our people such rich rewards in both
material and spiritual values. As we
have called attention to the great costri
bution that the Baptist World Alliance
in its meeting in Atlanta has made and
will make to the state, the southeast, and
even to the nation, so do we remind our
selves that all agencies that work to
ward the building of a better civilization
and the bringing in of a finer, richer
culture to our people, have their part
and their responsibility in a great uni
versal educational program.
Incidentally, it is a refreshing and
heartening thing to observe that so long
as a world gathering representing only
one body of evangelical Christianity can
attract such fine, splendid interest as has
been demonstrated in the Baptist World
Alliance, that the Church, the universal
Church, has not lost its place in the
heart of mankind.

POULTRY TIPS
FOR AUGUST
By ARTHUR GANNON,
Extension Poultryman.
Since chickens suffer from heat, shade
should always be provided. Natural shad' 1 ,
such as trees and shrubs, is best.
In August, the hens should be given a
thorough “going over,” and all individ
uals that show they are poor layers,
srould be removed.
Most experienced poultry raisers keep
only about 50 per cent, of the pullets
they start with for the second year.
In experiments conducted at Cornell,
the difference in egg production has us
ually been in favor of grain and mash
ration over an all-mash ration.
Many poultry raisers waste feed by
over-filling the feeders, so that the chick
ens pick the mash out over the sides
Spilled feed is not only wasted, but it is
a hazard to the health of the flock.
A good plan for watering chickens on
range is to provide a barrel with spigot,
float and pan, so that the water in the
pan available to the chickens is always
at the same level.
Keep the feed and waterers in the
shade. Provide small, low shelters if nec
essary.
Some “fresh country eggs” at this time
of the year are of very poor quality, due
to heat and the fact that males are run
ning with the flock.
A fertile egg in August, unless kept
under refrigeration, has little chance to
reach the consumer as a quality product
Laying hens and young chickens need
plenty of vitamin A. Fresh green feed is
the best source of this vitamin.
Egg production declines rapidly in hot
Weather. A high production for the flock
can be maintained by culling those that
quit laying and by feeding those that re
main a wet mash once a day.

can be cleaned merely by sponging with water or soap suds. This one is
in a charming pattern of blue morning glories with natural foliage on a
cream ground. Moderately priced, the cloths are smart enough for an
informal dinner and also are ideal for out-of-door use during the summer.,
WITH THE STARS

deal with the WPA is “Tomorrow Never
Comes.” It concerns two young college
men who are eventually forced to go on
relief, but who finally solve their prob
lems. Robert Young will probably have
the lead , . .
Lon Chaney, Jr., has been tested for
the part of Lennie in John Steinback's
“Os Mice and Men” . . .
Irene Dunne will be co-starred with
Cary Grant in “Passport to Life” . . .
A comedy of professional escorts is to

sisters, Miriam Hopkins will be seen as
Emily a!*l Bette Davis as Charlotte.
Geraldine Fitzgerald or Olivia de Havil
land wifi be cast as Ann. Claude Rains,
George Brent and Jeffry Lynn are also
in the east . . .
Fred Astaire, Eleanor Powell, George
Murphy and Frank Morgan have been as
signed roles in “Broadway Melody of
1940” . . .
In "Menace of the Sea,” the coast
guard will come in for their share of
glory. Humphry Bogart, Ronald Reagan
and Lya Lye are the principals . . .
Norma Shearer is enjoying a vacation
in Europe. When she returns she will
have the lead in Noel Coward’s “Tonight
at 8:30,” to be filmed by Metro . . .
“Good News,” a musical comedy of
the nineteen twenties, will be remade as
a followup of “Babes in Arms.” The same
cast which includes Mickey Rooney and
Judy Garland will be used for the sec
ond picture.”

ny Gets Her Gun.” Jane Bryan and
Humphrey Bogart will have supporting
roles . . .
Ann Sothern and Franchot Tone are
to replace Robert Montgomery and Ros
alind Russell as a team in “Fast and
Furious” . . .
Illona Massey, who had been on the
M-G-M pay roll for eighteen months
without doing any work, got her big
chance because Jeanette MacDonald was
holding out for more money. She was
given the lead opposite Nelson Eddy in
“Balalaika.” She has a charming voice
and personality and she is doing every
thing possible to take advantage of this
opportunity. Miss MacDonald finally
signed the studio’s contract, but Miss
Massey will continue in this role . . .
James Hilton is being sued by a Ger
man author who claims that “Lost Hor
izon” was copied from a book he wrote
in German in 1926 . . .
Twenty-four hundred lunches were
served in less than seventeen minutes
recently bv a catering firm to the people
on location for a scene in “The Hunch
back of Notre Dame.” The cost was $1.02
per person . . .

Life-giving oxygen is carried to
every organ of your body through
the rich-red color in blood. When
you don’t have enough of this rich
red blood color, you are being par
tially starved no matter what you
eat or how much. You feel all-in
before you start anything. You don’t
feel like dragging one leg after the
other. But when you build up this
rich-red color again . . . what a
difference. All tissues of the body
are able to do their work better.
You build up this vital blood ele
ment by getting the good out of the
iron in the food you eat and with
the help of Sargon. Sargon brings
you iron in the form your body can
use. Then the rich-red color in
your blood increases, and you get
that feeling of well-being that
makes you feel like going places
and doing things.
So get the genuine Sargon today
and start taking it faithfully. It
won’t be long before you’ll be look

used to have and wondering why
you ever put up with it. Generous
amount of Sargon costs little. Get
