IL the five-year program involved in
the rs Million Campaign is matched
with enough workers to carry II out
there must be minimum OF 5000
additional workers enlisted during the
next five years. ,5ys
or the 100000 people residing in
Florida 100000 are without church af-
filiations, according to an announce
ment by the Baptist rs Million Cam
paign. OF the 700 Baptist churches
in that state 300 are homeless and one
hundred worship in very dilapidated
buildings. However, III houses Of
worship are under course Of eonstruc-
tion in that state and 1t Is anticipat-
ed the ranks of the denomination will
be greatly strengthened there as a re-
suit of the campaign.
From a small town in Georgia comes
the news Of a Baptist widow who had
saved up $40 in gold to apply toward
her funeral expenses when she pass
ed away and who has become so
heartened by the Baptist rs Million
Campaign that she now wants to live
good while longer. So trusting In
God to spare her life, she has con-
tributed that gold-all her savings
from several years-to the campaign.
From a veteran Of the Cross, eighty
two years old, DIR. s. B. Rogers direc-
tor Of the Baptist rs Million Campaign
for Florida, has received the follow
ing letter: tAr
"This is the day Of prayer for the
rs Million Campaign and the day OF
prayer for the advancement Of Christ's
Kingdom in the world. 1t should be.
the day to contribute In a substantial
way to the great cause. have been
Fpraying for It since the organization,
but last night prayed all night I
could not think how I could give any
thing to the cause. / am eighty-two
years old, poor and afflicted, but about
daybreak this morning I remembered
owned 120 acres of land valued TT
s72O so asked God why I could not
give it. Well, decided at once to give
it. Now, I ask you to whom and how
shall make the deed?" ~
When Thanksgiving Day rolls
around this year you will want to give
thanks that you have never been III
in China and compelled to take dosa
Of Chinese medicine. =
DR.. George w. Leavell, medical mis-
sionary at Canton, China who is now
on leave of abseflce II, this country
tfor ffrtffef study M SJohn's Hopkins
University and who has delivered sew
eral addresses in behalf of the Bap-
tlst rs Million Campaign, relates how
Chinese physician, called In to see,
very sick and wealthy patient, pre-
scribed the following, which it re-
quired more than half day to pre-
pare: -.tara
Two ounces of salted lizards, one
halt ounce of Korea ginseng root, six
dried rasshoppers-three male and
three female-one ounce sweet potato
leaves, one ounce walnuts, one-fourth
ounce lotus leaves, one-half ounce OF
rattlesnake tail, two ounces black
dates, one half ounce elm tree bark,
e-half ounce devil fish claws, one
hall ounce hartshorn, one-half ounce
bird claws, one-half ounce dried gin
ger and one-half ounce old coffin nails.
This was to be boiled in a gallon
of water until reduced to a great
thickness and then given the patient
in large quantities.
As an evidence of the love which
DIR. Leavell has for his work he re-
Gently declined an offer Of $4,000
year with q fine residence and other
appurtenances to do social relief work
in China, preferring medical missions
at salary of one-seventh of what he
was offered.
Indications are that the Baptist as
Million Campaign will establish
record of being the most economically
conducted drive for a large sum Of
money that has been made in this
country, DR.. L. R. Scarborough, gen
eral director announces, 1t being now
assured that the expense will be con-
siderably less than per cent. Of the
sum asked. This sum includes the
expenses incurred by the general head
quarters at Nashville l the eighteen
state headquarters as we'll.
Aiding in the effort to keep down
campaign expenses in order that all
the money raised may go toward the
purpose for which it is sought is the
fac. that the campaign IL Of short
duration, no large overhead cost has
been incurred in the payment of large
salaries, and many Of tie workers
are contributing their services without
any financial remuneration.
Evidencing the spirit OF the cam
paign, one of the prominent workers
has just declined an offer OF $25,OOO
a year to engage in work along an
other line, preferring to live on a
small fraction Of that amount in or
der to give himself entirely to religi-
Gus work.
