Convention in Orangeburg. Th,
meeting is called by the undersign
ed Baptist laymen, 70 promote The
Layman's Missionary Movement ir
South Carolina in line with what {,
being planned throughout the South
We believe this is one of the mos
inspiring and promising of the re
cent movements for the extension OF
Christ's Kingdom. Its Christlikt
spirit, its comprehensive purpose and
its practical plans have won both the
enthusiastic approval and hearty Gu.
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 IAN awakening of Christian lay
men to the urgency of the Great
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

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 1t was greeted in the recent
Southern Baptist Convention at
Richmond.
South Carolina Baptists are known
as a strong missionary body but 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.
