towns in Georgia continue their liberal
support of the Baptist campaign to

main Baptist institutions of the state

subscribed $4,000, and those of Locust

the full amount will be raised.
In fact, it has been determined bv

shall be expended unt1 the full
amount of all subscriptions has been

METHOD|STS To
WORK
THIS. AFTERNOON

The day campaign being put on
by the Methodists of Americas to raise
s. 900 for the liquidation of the in
debtedness on the Lee street Methodist
church, will be brought to close this
afternoon, according to the plans OF
the committee in charge of the work.
Five canvassing committees operated
yesterday afternoon from 2:15 until
$50 o'clock, and contributions to the
amount of 5000 were secured in spite
of the fact that only small percent
age of the persons scheduled to be seen
by the committees were actually Wis
tied.
The inclement weather hindered the
work of the committees, but the re-
suit of the afternoons work was con-
sidered satisfactory in view of the un-
favorable conditions.
This afternoon at 2;15 the canvass
ing committees again reported for duty
at the office of T. NJ. Furlow, and un-
til $50 o'clock they will canvass the
Methodists of Americus to raise the
desired amount of money.
While the campaign was originally
designed to raise $4,000, the amount to
tc secured by solicitation is only ST.
500. since John Sheffield has guaran-
teed to secure $500 from eleven in
dividuals, including himself THIS
there remains about $1,000 to be rails
ed this afternoon, the final day of the
campaign.
The Lee Street Methodist church,
was erected at a cost of $4,000 now
has debt of $4,000 hanging over IL
and the Methodists of this city are anx-
ious to liquidate this Indebtedness
without further delay, so that the edi-
flee may be formally dedicated.
The canvassing committees are corn-
posed of members of both the First
Methodist and the Lee Street Metho-
dist churches, as the movement was
started at a joint meeting of the sew
ards of both organizations. The First
Methodist church erected the Lee
Street church, and consequently feels
morally obligated to carry through its
part of the program.
The final result of the campaign Will
be announced in the Times-Recorder Of
Wednesday.
