Probably the most encouraging de-
velopment that has come to the Bap-
fist Is Million Campaign, so far, is the
large number of young men and women
throughout the South aid Southwest
whe have volunteered their services
for special Christian work wherever
God may need them A special day
was set apart in the Baptist schools
and churches for calling out the

Der being necessary, it was held, if the
enlarged program of the campaign was
to be carried out. Returns from these
services are still coming in with the
prospect that the number will reach
at least 1900.
These volunteers will enter the min
istry, go as missionaries, Christian doc
tors, nurses and teachers to foreign
lands, labor in the homeland for the
advancement of the kingdom of God or

they feel the Lord directs them. Bay

which he is now serving. Mr.. Allison

teers for specj%s Christian service in
this campaign, .hree young men, all OF
whom were converted and reared under
Mr.. Allison's ministry, responded for
the ministry themselves, one of them
being his nephew.
But the campaign hopes to enlist
large number of Christian workers
other than those several thousand who.
will give themselves entirely to special
religious work. The campaign hopes
to enlist 100000 additional pupils in
the Sunday Schools of the South and
Southwest; win 2,K00,0O0 additional
the next five years; bring the Baptist
church membership in the South to
100000 and enlist all these in all
forms of church work; increase the
number of Baptist churches in the
South to 10000, and enroll 40 600 young
men and women in the denominations
schools where they will prepare them
selves for lives of Christian usefulness
IN their communities or for service in
any part of the world where they NAV
be needed.
While it is the hope to raise s75, OO0.-
600 to be Invested in the larger pro-
gram OF Christian service which gave
the campaign its name. raising the
money is only one of the objects
sought. Baptists are being impIored to
give themselves and all of their talents
as well as their money to God. Director

 The five victories of eight contests did not boost the Pelican lead as much as the slump of Little Rock who did not win game for week.

 Atlanta nosed Mobile out of third place with four victories-two over the Bears and two over the Barons- and three loses,-a couple to New Or leans and one to Mobile The Crack CTS had a small margin.
 Mobile in slipping to fourth place won only two games single from Birmingham Monday and match from Atlanta Wednesday.
 The Barons took one from the Bears, the Crackers gathered two and the Pelicans garnered a couple Birmingham did not move from fifth place and lead the second division with an even break on eight games. Three of the wins were from New Orleans and one from Mobile.
 Memphis made an equal division of eight games and retained seventh place 8 points in the rear of Nashville. Chattanooga although playing victory ball, did not raise from the celler place but lessened the handicap by trimming Memphis in double header and tieing Little Rock and winning two of three games from Nashville.
