who is General Manager Of the Tennes-
see Baptist Eneampment, which con-
venes here July 4 TO IL inclusive. Is
sending out thousands or Encamp-
ment programs. Every Baptist In the
state Is particularly interested In this
gathering. Il is financed by the young
PEOPLES Unions and the Sunday
schools Of the state. More than i've
years ago q few Baptist hustlers con-
ceived the idea Of having an outing
and met In Nashville to formulate
plans and ways and means. The rip
pie grew to mountain waves-every
Baptist in that city was "on" and Wig
orously pushing the proposition. The
news spread and all leading Baptists
In the state and many of adjoining
states caught the Encampment fever.
DR.. T. B. Ray, then pastor Of EN-
manuel Baptist Church, the great
Quiet leader, was elected president,
and Estill Springs, through the infu-
ence of Prof. W. d. Hodgins was Sc
lected as the place.
The first gathering was so great
success, the members and representa-
tives from all the state declared in a
business session that it should ba an
Annual affair. Since that day the or
ganization has grown, and prospects
now indicate a very large attendance
for this, the Fifth Annual Baptist En-
campment.
Newspapers have seen fit to send
staff correspondents. Hotels make
special rates, and railroads give re-
dueed rates.
The late Hon z. w Carmack once
delivered his famous lecture at one
of these meetings. Hon. FiRis ]. Gar
