ment, and in addition to giving $780,.

900 to the erection of q new church in

Discussing what the campaign will
mean to Tennessee and how the sum
to be raised by the Baptists of this
state will be expended Mr.. Ander.
son said:
1.-THE most expanding thought that
has ever entered the human brain is
that historic sentence spoken by our
first great world Citizen, nineteen
hundred years ago Go ye into all
the world and preach the Gospel to
every living creature The human
brain Is unable to compass one thou.
sandth part of an inch more expan.
sion, without encroaching upon the
infinite, and that's God realm.
Southern Baptists have been
claiming the above sentence as one of
their fundamentals all the past years.
Why is it, then, we have remained
such little folk with such a big
thought in our brain? Is it not be-
cause we have not followed the
thought with action? And this Is one
of the greatest, indeed, the greatest
blessing that is going to come out of
the rs Million Campaign to our de.
nomination, We are vitalizing that
expanding thought and never more
will we be merely citizens of our own
little neighborhood, our own county,
or state, or nation. Every man of
US must be, indeed is, a world citizen
DR.. Truett has been 'hammering this
thought into the minds and hearts of
our people wherever he has gone dur.
ing the past weeks.
For the first time in all history
Baptists have put on a program that
even approaches in magnitude that
world-girdling order Go We into all
the world
Dare | say to my beloved Tennes-
see brethren that the opportunity is
before US to demonstrate to our.
selves and to the world that we have
cutgrown provincialism and have be.
come world citizens?
"The pure unmixed blood that has
made our mountain people so fine
and loyal has in the past been the
cause Of May say IT'D our feeling
Of aloofness from. other parts of the
country and world. We have had
10 melting pot in our midst, no need
for one, and so have had no training
in extending our sympathy and CON-
passion for others The rs Million
eampaeH Is eeias to lift us out of
this limited vision. and give us a Wis
ion as wide as the world.
4HsiasM and confidence ey.
erywhere are wonderful. Many Of

confidence TO cause Us 10 relax our
