SOUTHERN BAPTIsTs MAY ERECT
$4,000 CHURCH IN HEART
OF CHINA.

At memorial services conducted in
honor of Or. Il, ]. Wiilingham, by the
First Baptist Church of Macon. Ga, OF
which DR.. Willingham was former
pastor, a movement was launched to
erect $50. 000 memorial church in the
heart of China as monument TO him.
The proposal was made during the
service In the Macon church by Pew.
DR. J. l.. White. pastor of the Taber-
nacle Baptist Church OF Atlanta.
The news of the proposed memorial
church as received with interest by
Baptists in this city yesterday. The
movement is to be given it's start, ii is
understood, by a subscription by Bap-
lists of Macon, to which may be added
the sums subscribed by other churches
of the Southern Baptist Convention,
which DIR. Willingham served so many
wears as general secretary of the
Foreign Mission Board.
The appropriateness of locating the
monument to DR.. Willingham in China
is apparent to all who recall that DIR.
Willingham's work kept him in con
slant touch with the mission work of
the Baptists in China.
DIR. White, during the course of his
address, paying splendid tribute Sun
day to DR.. Willingham, declared that
no greater monument can be erected to
his memory than the building of a
church In the field in which he had
direction of the work for so many
years. The wish was expressed by Dr.
White that Macon, where DIR. willing
ham served as pastor early in his
career. would begin the subscription
