History OF the Organization.

Organization of the Southern Bap-
list convetnion as a distinct unit VI
the general body, was not brought
about until the Augusta, Ga. meeting
on May s. 1S45, and properly speak
ing, was the outgrowth of a general
missionary convention of the Baptist
denominations of the United States of
America for foreign missions. This
organization embraced all of the Bap-
fist churches of the United States.
The first meeting of the body occurred
in Philadelphia, May 1S,1S14, and was
known as the triennial convention
from the fact that 1t meets every three
years.

convention and one of its organizers

people of Texas could be inter

If the plans of Mr. Emil
Locke are carried out. San An
tonic will have one of the most
unique monuments now existant
in the world of today. This
project has been approved by
civic bodies and the city council.
The funds to meet the expenses
will be collected by popular sub
scription. Letters already re-
ceived from every section OF
Texas show that this collection
of the necessary funds will not
be a hard matter.
In speaking of this project,
Mr.. Locke says:

cluster of powerful refiectors
will be placed near the top,
throwing a light down the

monument visible for a distance
of 100 miles in all directions.
Four elevators will travel to the
TOP of this shaft to carry sight

walls and should accommodate

of the sightseers. The lower
portions of this great monument
will be made into museums and
meeting rooms for public at
fairs. This great undertaking |

citizens of Bexar county will be
called upon to start the move

myself propose to furnish six

order that the people of Texas
may know that all funds
raised are properly expended,
a commission of twenty-five of
the most prominent citizens OF

trustees for the proper disburse-
ment of said fund in erecting
the monument. Every county
that helps set this movement on
foot and assists in raising funds
towards this subscription will be
represented in the great monu-

shaft fttingly inscribed. II is
the intention to make this a

il become local affair through
any possible petty differences

approximately one for every in
