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. ABSENT MINDED. BIRD SETS HOUSE AFIRE. ITHACA, N.
