Call to Baptist Laymen.
| Dear Brother: In the name of our
| Master, we ask your earnest, prayer
| full consideration of this call to at
tend our laymen's mass-meeting Sun
| day afternoon, December 8, during
the meeting of the State Baptist
Convention in Orangeburg. The
meeting is called by the undersigned
| Baptist laymen. 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 Christlike
spirit, it's comprehensive purpose ana
its practical plans have won both the
enthusiastic approval and hearty CO.
| operation Of many of our consecrat-
ed 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 laymen
to the urgency of the Great Commits
sion; an honest effort on the part of
laymen to fulfill in the next twenty
| five years their Lords command to
| preach the Gospel to every creature.
| It's aim Is to induce the Christian
layman to employ his influence, his
money and his time in his religion in
the same practical, common-sense
way thet he does in his business or
| profession" The force Of this ap-
peal to Baptist laymen was seen in
| the enthusiasm with which 1t was
greeted in the recent Southern Bap-
| tist 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 do so until more of our lay
men consecrate their strength to this
great work of the Kingdom.
Earnestly hoping that you will at
tend the meeting and that you will
| enlist other laymen,
| Your co-workers in His Kingdom,
Il etc.
This call Is signed by Al promi-
nent ministers OF the Baptist church
IN South Carolina.
