A CALL FROM THE LAYMEN.
Meeting of Baptist in Orangeburg
With State Convention.

Thc following call to the Baptist
laymcn Of South Carolina has been
issued:
In the name Of our Master. we ask
your earnest .pHycrful consideration
of this call TO attend our laymcn $
mass meeting, Sunday afternoon, Dee
s, during the meeting Of the Baptist
state convention in Oranyeburg. The
meeting is called by the undersigned
Baptist laymcn. TO promote the lay
mems 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 ChriStlikc
spirit, lis comprehensive purpose and
its practical plans have won both the
enthusiastic approval and hearty CO.
operation of many Of our conSccra:cd
business men. and We believe that
many others will express rs hearty
endorsement when the plans arc pre-
scntcd TO them.
The movement has been defined as
an awakening Of Christian laymcn
to the urgency Of thc Great Commits
sion: an honest effort ON the part Of
laymrn to fulfill in the next 25 years
thcir Lords command to preach the
Gospel to every creature. It's aim is
to induce the Christian laymaa to
employ his Influence. his money ami
his time in his religion in The same
practical. common-scnSc way that he
does in his business or prorcSSion.' -
The force Of this appeal to Baptist
laymcn was seen in the ntnnSiasm
with which it was greeted in the re-
cent Southern Baptist convention at
Richmond.
South Carolina Baptists are known
as strong missionary body but we
have not yet realized our strength or
fully recognized our obligation nor
will we Ao so until more of our lay
men consecratc their strength to this
great work Of the kingdom.
Earnestly hoping that YOU will at-
tend the mcctin" and that You will
enlist other laymcn. your cUworkcrs
in His kingdom.
