WEORGIA BAPTISTS RAISE
New Executive Board Makes Plans For Enlarged Work of the
Denomination—The Christian Index Now Owned and Operated
By Baptists, S
With three hundred churches unre
ported and with many others only par
tially reported, Georgia Baptists have
passed the ten-million mark in the
Baptist 75 Million Campaign. Georgia
leads all of the states of the Southern
Baptist Convention in the amount
raised above the original quota. Geor
gia was given a quota of $7,500,000 and
over-subscribed that amount on the
first day of the drive. South Carolina
comes gsecond in the percentage raised
above the original quota. The total
for the South approximates $90,000,000.
Extreme weather conditions in the
West will prevent complete returns
from several states for some time. Dr.
L. R. Scarborough, general director,
states that he is confident that when
complete returns from these states
can be had that the total will exceed
$100,000,000.
The campaign has been a great suc- |
cess in Georgia. It has been a vic
tory in the best sense of that word
because all of the people working to
gether made it possible. It has been‘
truly termed a’ people’s victory. The
co-operation from the day the cam
raign was opened has been the con
stant inspiration of those who were
charged with special tasks in the
movement. Both from the ministers
and the laity has come the warmest
co-operation at a]l times.
In speaking of the response which
Georgia Baptists have given to the
great call of this campaign, Dr. Arch
C. Cree, state director, has the fol
lowing to say:
“]I have served the Baptists of Geor
gia as corresponding secretary of the
State Mission Board for a little more
than four years and I am familiar
with the spirit of fellowship and co
operation which may be expected of
them. I saw them come up and out
of the quicksands of 1915 when all
of our agencies were in debt. But I
have been amazed as I have witnessed
the great wave of enthusiasm which
has swept through our state and car
ried our people to unprecedented
heights of sacrifice and faith. I thank
God daily for the privilege of serving
such a mighty host of men and women
who are willing to trust God and go
forward.”
The New Executive Board.
At the regular session of the Bap
tist Convention of the state of Geor
~ia in Macon in November the dele
zates voted unanimously in accepting
{hie report of the committee on the
revision of the constitution. This re
port gave to the convention a reorgan
ization of the working machinery of
the denomination which marks a new
(ay for Georgia Baptists. The State
Mission Board, the Education Board,
the Executive Committee and the
Committee on Co-operation were
among the former agents of the con
ventien. The new constitution sets
as‘de all of these boards and commit
t~es and. creates one Executive Com
mittee of forty-five members. This
committee wiil meet all of the inter
csts served by the former boards. The
officers of the convention are also
members of the new board, which
rakes a total membership of fifty-one.
The new board met in Atlanta on
Decomber 18 and 19. Judge Andrew
J. Cobb, of Athens, was elected pres
icent and Dr. John D. Mell, president
~f the Baptist Convention of the State
of Georgia, was elected vice-president.
Pev. B. S. Railey, of Atlanta, was elect
ed recording secretary. Only four
members were absent at the first ses
sion and many important matters were
discussed and plans made for the
ereater day just now dawning for
Baptists. #
Dr. Cree Elected Secretary-Treasurer.
Dr. Arch C. Cree, who for the past
four and a half years has been the
corresponding secretary of the State
T{ission Board, was elected secretary
treasurer of the new board. His work
among the Baptists of the South, and
eipecially in Georgia, made him the
inevitable leader for Georgia Baptists
in the new era of expansion and en
larced service.
Many additions have been made in
the working force of the denomina
tion. There will be eight enlistment
men. Rev. B. S. Railey, pastor of the
Grant Park Baptist Church, Atlanta,
tas been elected superintendent of
missions and will be in charge of the
mission, enlistment and evangelistic
work of the denomination.,
A department of publicity was es
tnhlished and Louie D. Newton, for
yerly a professor in Mercer Univer
«'ty. and recently director of publicity
for the campaign, was elected as di
rector of this department. ;
The standing committees of the new
Poard made important recommenda
t'ene at the December meeting and
lnunched many significant plans for
the denomination. The Committee on
Administration will have charge of all
matters of personnel and actual opera
tion of the new board. This commit
tee will meet monthly. Dr. C. W.
Daniel, pastor of the First Baptist
Church, Atlanta, is chairman. The
Committee on Education has recom
mended that all of the Baptist schools
of Georgia, owned and operated by
the denomination, be co-ordinated and
that Dr. Rufus W, Weaver, president
of Mercer University, be made super
intendent of Christian education for
this state. "Rhe Executive, Committee
passed unanimously the resolution. Dr.
Solon B. Cousins, pastor of the First
Church of Columbus, is chairman of
the Education Committee. J. P.
Nichols, of Griffin, is chairman of the
Committee on Benevolence, This com
mittee recommended a general expan
sion of the work of benevolence. Dr.
Carl Minor, of Americus, is chairman
of the Mission Committee, which has
mapped out an aggressive program to
meet the development needs of Geor
gia Baptists.
The convention authorized the pur
chase of the Christian Index and a
special committee, of which J. R. Hall,
of Moultrie, was chairman, negotiated
with the owners of the paper and made
a report, which was'adopted by the
board. The sum of $40,000 was paid
for the paper and the book department
of the paper. The Administration
Committee was asked to name the of
ficials for the paper and at a meeting
in Atlanta on December 30th the fol
lowing were elected: Arch C. Cree,
secretary-treasurer; Louie D. Newton,
managing editor. A board of directors
was elected as follows: Arch C. Cree,
Chas. W. Daniel, W, H. Major, F. C.
McConnell and Henry Alford Porter.
Campaign Leaders Express Apprecia-
The leaders in the campaign in
Georgia unite in expressing their keen
appreciation for the manner in which
the workers made possible the vie
tory. The district organizers, the as
sociation officials and the church
workers are equally responsible for the
glorious victory which crowns theis
efforts. And the people-at-large who
pledged the money are finally respon
sible and to everyone who gave,
whether small or large, the leaders
are profoundly grateful.
The newspapers made a great con
tribution to the campaign. The week
lies and the dailies gave space for
news items that could not have been
bought with money and this co-opera
tion has masle possible our great suc
cess,
Many other agencies contributed to
the movement and for all of these the
workers wish to express real apprecia
tion and thanks. The campaign is now
over, but the greater values of the
campaign may be found in these evi
dences of a spirit of co-operation and
sympathy.
It is urged from the state headquar
ters that every church report its final
results to the association organizer,
so that these officials may make com
plete rcturns to thelstate office. The
final figures will be helpful in work
ing out the new plans. Books for the
church treasurers are in hand and will
be sent out at once from Dr. Cree’s
office. Anyone desiring information
concerning the completion of the cam
paign will please communicate with
Dr. Arch C. Cree, 600 Flatiron Build
irg, Atlanta, Ga.
