FOLEY KIDNEY PILLS
A State-Wide Victory Drive
Projected By Georgia Baptists
FOR “VICTORY WEEK,” FEBRUARY 8-19, TO RAISE ONE HUNDRED
ANO TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS CASH FOR EDUCATION.
« 1
Arch C. Cree.
The battle Is on. Georgia Bap
tista, a mighty heat, over three hun
dred thousand strong, are being mobi
lised for a great State-wide Victory
Oath Drive to cancel all obligations
against their schools and colleges.
The time sot is February 9-16 and is
designated as "Victory Week.” De
nominations! leaders, presidents and
profeasors of schools and colleges, de
partmental *eld workers and secretar
ies, missionaries and evangelists, pas
tors and laymen, and, best of all, the
good women are hard at work or
ganising the Baptist forces of the State
for the "BIG PUSH.”
The Baptist people are a virile ag
gressive set. According to the figures
of the United States Census Bureau
they equal in numbers all other de
nominations in Georgia and so they
largely constitute the back-bone and
sinew of tbe Christian citizenship of
the State. Every good Georgian will
be interested in their laudable effort
for the common -good and will be de
lighted to see them win a complete
victory and put across their endeavor
to make so worthy a contribution to
the cause of education in the State.
GEORGIA BAPTISTS TOOK STOCK.
Two years ago Georgia Baptists
faced the stern cold fact that the
obligations against their many inter
ests and institutions aggregated more
than a half million dollars. Rut this
fact did not dismay this militant multi
rude for their assets totalled many
times this amount and their resources
nanny, many times more. However,
they did take stock, pool all obliga
tions in a united campaign and a
single appeal and purposed in their
hearts to liquidate every dollar of
every debt against every Institution.
For some years Georgia Baptist
schools have suffered from growing
pains. The garments provided by the
Baptist fathers of former days have
proven all too short. Additional build
ings had to bo built, larger facilities
and more modern equipment had to be
provided to meet the higher standards
and the larger needs of greater days.
AU of this, together with inadequacy
of income, merited in the Inevitable
assumption of obligations, which
must now be paid. Borne might call
these obligations debts, but far-seeing,
forward-looking people know they are
Investments, for they have property,
eta., to show for them.
Many of these obligations are not
debts In the bad sense. They are sim
ply deferred payments en flrat-class In
vestments of other days. Invoatments
made through the years In educational
faeintles and equipment, which have
been in use for years and which have
already been of inestimable value and
profit to the Eaptlot cause and people
and to education In general, Invest
monte for the common good.
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY
FIVE THOUSAND DOLLARS
CASH NEEDED
The total outstanding obligations re
ported two years ago by the several
institutions Involved was $524,546.00.
Borne of these obligations have been
liquidated by the interests which in
curred them, as in the case of the Mis
sion Board and the Georgia Baptist
Orphans’ Home, and Atlanta Baptists
have taken over the Georgia Baptist
Hospital as their part of the great
tMk-y* meet worthy part.
At "the recent meeting of the Geor
gia Baptist Convention in Macon, the
Committee of Five, which has been
charged with this campaign, reported
that alt of the above amount except
|15,415.00 had been covered by cash,

notes and pledges and some of this had
been received since the convention.
But the obligations were, for the riioet
part, interest-bearing and so, mean
while, interest, expenses, etc., have ac
crued, amounting to something like
$70,000.00 and this, together with $30.-
000.00 estimated for shrinkage by
death and adversity, totals a little over
$125,000.00 cash needed to “MOP UP.”
The Convention ordered that the
campaign should be.pressed with vigor
and closed by March the first. A spe
cial offering of $10,000.00 was made by
the delegates attending the Convention
to take care of immediate current no
cessitfes, for it is a condition of.tbe
campaign that the whole amount of
money must be raised before any may
be disbursed. The success of the whole
pivots ea thd payment of the last d'et
lar. And so out from the Macon Con
vention there surged to every Metlon
of the State bands of determined Bap
tist men ready to tackle the great task
of getting one hundred and twenty-five
thousand dollars cash In sixty days.
