ing the meeting of the Baptist State
Convention in Orangeburg. The
meeting is called by the undersigrt-
ed Baptist laymen, to promote the
Layman's Missionary Movement In
South Carolina in line with what Is
being planned throughout the South
We believe this is one Of the most
inspiring and promising OF the re-
cent movements for the extension OF
Christ's Kingdom. It's Christ!ike
spirit, it's comprehensive purpose and
its practical plans have won both the
enthusiastic approval and hearty CO.
operation. of many Of our consecrated
business men, and we believe that
many others will express as hearty
endorsement when the plans are pre-
sented to them.
The movement has been defined
as "an awakening Of Christian lay
men to the urgency Of the Grea'
Commission; an honest effort on the
part of laymen to fulfill in the next
twenty-five years their Lords com
mand to preach the Gospel to every
creature. It's aim is to induce the
Christian laymen to employ his in
fluence. his money and his time IN
his religion in the same practical
common sense way that he does IN
his business or profession" The force
of this appeal to Baptist laymen was
seen in the great enthusiasm with
which it was greeted in, the recent
Southern Baptist Convention at
Richmond.
South Carolina Baptists are known
as 2. strong missionary body out we
have not yet realized our strength or
fully recognized our obligation, nor
will we do so until more Of our lay
men consecrate their strenth to THIS
great work of the kingdom.
Earnestly hoping that you Will at
tend the meeting and that you Will
enlist other laymen, we are,
Your co-workers in His Kingdom
