ablest men in the Southern Baptist
church.
The encampment has for its primary
object the teaching and training of
young people in Christian work. The
organization was perfected and the
first meeting held at the Emmanuel
church two years ago. The results ac-
complished at this meeting encouraged
the promoters of the idea, and the
organization was made permanent,
with officers and directors. Last year
the encampment enlarged both in at
tendance and interest and this year the
outlook is more encouraging than ever.
Good Sunday School Program.
J. E. Byrd, field secretary of the
Sunday school work in Mississippi, is
one of the most active men in the work

Among the interesting features of
the encampment is the work to be done
by DR.. Western Bruner, director of the
Home Board of evangelists. 1t is DR..
Bruner's purpose to teach visiting
pastors and workers the most effective
methods for reaching the people.
