THE MILLION
DOLLAR CAMPAIGN

Raleigh, Nov. 20.-The approach
ing session of the Baptist State Con-
Ientlon at Greensboro, Dec.3-6. gives
promise of being the most notable
one in the long list Of it's 88 annual
sessions. The Convention will face
the many and multiform problems
growing out Of our neN relation
ships to he world, chief among
which will be that of training lead
ers to help shape the civilization of
the future. The educational ques-
ton, therefore, will occupy the CEN
ter of the stage at this session, one
whole day. in the middle of the
Convention, being devoted exclus-
lively to discussion of it's various
phases.
1t is expected that the Millino-
Dollar Campaign for the Baptist
schools in the State, which was
projected u year ago at it's session
iD Durham, will be brought to a
successful conclusion at this time.
However, on account of the con-
tinued distressing conditions in some
sections of the State brought about
by the influenza epidemic, it may
be necessary to extend the time
limit for short period until the
churches can resume their regular
work .~s... ..-.-. 5.
The intensive drive scheduled for
October and November in all the
baptist churches of the State for
the million dollar fund has been
greatly handicapped by reason of
the unparalleled conditions. Howev-
er, from the mountains to the sea
most encouraging reports are daily
coming to the central office. In
every case where anyl,:ing like a
thorough canvass has been made
the churches have gone over the
top with an increase of from so to
100 per cent over their allotment.
