Saying that because Of the size of New
York City and the nature of Baptist
organization the Baptists have not YET
got together, the WatChman- Examiner
in its current number strongly urges the
need of a Baptist headquarters in that
city. Several possibilities are suggested
One idea is an office building with a
store on the ground floor like the Pub
liCation Society in Philadelphia, another
a combination church and Office building
like fremont Temple in Boston. The
building might be erected as a business
investment, but it is suggested that a
better plan would be to have a building
erected by wealthy Baptists in the city
making the proceeds payable to the
missionary activities OF the denomination
Something towards a headquarters has
already been accomplished at % East
Twenty-siNth Street, where a floor is oc-
CUpied by the local offices of various
Baptist missionary and publication So
cieties.
The Rev. F. w. Padelford. for five and
a half years general secretary of the
Massachusetts Baptist Missionary So
Ciety, has rendered his resignation tC

position of secretary of the new educa-
tion board of the Northern Baptist con-
vention. DIR. PadeIford gives as his mo-
tive in changing TO the new work-a
pioneer wOrk-a desire to create new
interest in the denomination toward
Christian education.
