For twenty-seven years it has been
the custom of Southern Baptist wo-
men to bring, as individual workers.
a special Christmas offering into the
treasury of the general union through
their local missionary societies. This
Is termed the Christmas Offering for
China" and the event has come to be
very near indeed to the hearts OF
Southern Baptist women everywhere.
In 1915 the offerings amounted to
sa7,66i.4s.
In eighteen States the efforts OF
Baptist women are concentrated on
this Christmas offering, and the mag
nitude of the work may be imagined
when II Is known that In Tennessee
alone 10000 envelopes have been sent
out.
The first week In January get
aside for a week of prayer and study
Of the worlds needs, and wednesday
of this week is given over to an es-
pecial study of the needs OF China.
Then the envelopes, containing their
offerings. some large and some small,
are gathered In and the money ap-
piled where It Ia most needed.
The programs for this week OF
united prayer are rich and full OF in
formation and Inspiration as minds
and hearts are turned In unison to the
needs Of a lost world and the obliga-
lions of Christian women to help meet
these needs The heart of the Chris
tan woman beats very close to the
heart OF her heather sister. and
through this touch interest 10 greatly
stimulated.
The story of the beginning OF this
interesting and beautiful custom of
Baptist women IL very inter esting.
Miss Lottie Moon, a consecrated
woman, who gave forty years Of her
life to work for and with Chinese
women, became 80 burdened with the
sad condition of womankind In China
that she sent an appeal to the Baptist
women OF the Southland to give of
their abundance a thank offering to
God. to be used to give to these their
sisters the light of the gospel to dis
pei the gloom in their heather hearts
and homes.
Miss Moon was thoroughly familiar
with conditions in q land where. from
the time the unweicome girl baby
opens her eyes upon an unfriendfy
world on through the trials awaiting
the girl wife. the slave OF the cruel
mother-in-law. and the sorrows Of
neglected wtfehood and motherhood,
women are bound by letters OF super
sfition and Ignorance. She thought
that while laying aside offerings for
those they love her sisters would will
ingiy make an offering for their Mas
ter, and since the custom was inAugu-
rated twenty-seven years ago, until
today. II has grown In interest.
