Some dogs are that way-they'n

OF course, / don't take much

Maynard seemed TO find some COM
fort in smuggling up to me when
we were flying $4,000 feet high,
with the temperature way below
freezing. Guess this little oil
gray coat of mine is some warm,
eh?
The United States is a pretty
fine country, all right. i had no
idea 1T was so big. Some people
who think the sun sets in the
Hudson river. or at the boundary
of their city or State, ought to
get out and see what a wonderful
nation extends from here to the
Pacific coast.
The best way for them to get
good birdseye view, or perspec-

/ saw all those thousands OF acres
of fine farms and ranches, and the
great teeming cities, with sky
scrapers and factories in the CEN

around for miles, wondered what
all this discomfort and Bolsheyik
agitation was about.
Believe me, IL anyone Is so
stupid and ignorant as to agitate
in this country, he ought to be
sent back where he came from.
II a lot of people could only
make the trip / did. and see the
country spread out below them
with its possibilities. they would
go home and think a while before

high school. This work in the school
room is supplemented however, with
practical training along industrial and
oher lines. For instance, the boys
are given courses in practical farm
worl: on farms which have been pur-
chased and are operated by the homes,
livestock production, carpentering, tin
work, plumbing, laundrying, and the
like, as we'll as courses in business
for those who show special adapta-
tion for that line of work.
The school room work for the girls
is supplemented with the study of mu-
sic, domestic science, stenography and
the like. Large attention is given to
the religious life of the children, also,
and this is given emphasis in the
daily chapel services, and in the Sun
day School and preaching services on
the Sabbath.
The orphan children respond readily
to the opportunities and privileges af-
forded them and there have gone out
from these institutions a number of
the most useful men and women in
the various states. While taking pride
in the accomplishments of the boys
and girls who are in the homes at
present, as we'll as those who have
gone out from there to make their own
way in the world, the superintendent
and teachers are saddened by the fact
that there are so many other helpless
children who ought to be aided but
can not be by reason Of the limita-
tions of the homes.
Enlargements are necessary for all
of the fifteen orphanages fostered by
Southern Baptists which are located
in the following states: Alabama, Ar
kansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Ken
lucky, Louisiana. Mississippi, Mis-
souri,, North Carolina, Oklahoma.
South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and

l3 MILLION WHITE
PEOPLE NOT SAVED
THIS is ONE OF THE PRESSING
STATE MISSION PROBLEMS
IN THE SOUTHLAND.
THE SITUATION is OUTLINED
Baptist rs Million Campaign Has Ap-
portioned s11 100000 To Be EN-
ployed During the Next Five
Years in Meeting Need.

Within the eighteen states compl1s-
ing the territory of the Southern Bap-
tist convention are 13 100000 white peo-
ple who are not only not identified
with any church, but who do not claim
to be christians, according to ilforma-
ton gathered by the Baptist 70 Mil
lion Camapign. To try and reach these
people with the gospel is one OF the
aims of the campaign and TO meet the
problem the state mission organiza-
ton in the various states will set
themselves To help these organiza-
tions in meeting that problem the sum
Of s11,OOO,0O0 has been apportioned
from the total of s75,O0O,OOO that is
sought for all purposes, and during the
next five years the state mission
forces will seek tc reach these mil
lions of people right here at home with
the gospel and enlist them in some
phase OF christian work.
According to this same source of in
formation, it is learned that there are
1891 towns and villages in the South
with a population of 200 or more in
which there are no Baptist church Or
ganizations or no Baptist houses OF
worship. Inasmuch as these towns in
fluence more or less the surrounding
territory an effort will be made to
roach them and the territory sur
rounding them during the fiye-year
r-ogFam of the Baptsts, it Is an,
need.

in the South without single Baptist
church or meeting house, it has been
ascertained by the campaign head
quarters. BY reason of the large num-
Der of public officials residing there,
and the large number of people who
go there from every section of the
county to attend the sessions of the
various courts, pay their taxes and
the like it is regarded that the county
seat towns are of especial Importance
and it is hoped that before the next
five years have passed there will be
an active Baptist church in every
county-seat in the South.
Engaged in the work Of state mis-
sions at present are 1924 missionaries,
and while this may seem like reason
able number, when the vast territory
to be served is considered it has been
found that fully 1000 extra men and
women are needed at once, for in ad
dition to reaching the people WHO are
not christians there are many weak,
struggling churches which need assist.
ance and whose members need devel-
opment In the several states of the
Southern Baptist convention, for in
stance, there are 5000 churches with
a membership of many thousand which
give but very little to any interest Of
the denomination and which are doing
but very small things for the uplift Of
their communities.
In addition to these very weak
churches, many of which have no pas
tor there are in the various states a
total of 1858 churches which have
preaching services only once a month,
5000 churches which have services
only once month, and only, about
1900 full time churches. Part of the
$11 100000 apportioned for state mis-.
mions will go to the strengthening OF
the weak churches and the bringing Of
them to full-time pastorates where
possible.
Leaders in the campaign have
sought to care for every interest Of
the denomination in the $75,O00,00O
that is asked in cash and five-year
pledges during Victory Week, Novem-
ber 3O-December 7, when the final
drive will be made. but they recognize
that the future development of the
church depends in a great measure
upon ehe development of the churches
at home which is the peculiar task Of
state missions.

Does your heart go out 10 the
worthy boy and girl bereft by the
Grim Reaper of father and mother,
and left alone in the world without
the fostering care of those to whom
they are naturally most dear in the
world?
Then you will understand why
Southern Baptists have established
orphanages in fifteen states, are
caring for 5000 such children in those
homes and training them for useful
lives in the world.
But the need is far greater than the
ability Of these institutions to meet
It. While five thousand children are
being cared for in these crphanages,
there are on the waiting list of these
institutions fully five thousand more
equally worthy, fatherless and moth
erless boys and girls who want the
privileges which these orphanages af-
ford but which must be denied them
for the present because there is no
room with which to shelter more Of
them.
So when the Baptist Is Million Cam
paign was launched for the enlarge
men Of the work of the denomination
along general lines in an effort to
meet growing spiritual needs in the
homeland and Throughout the world,
the sum of S4,7OO,OOO was apportioned
to the orphanages, this sum to cover
q program of five years, as the $75,-
100000 sought in the campaign will be
raised in cash and five-year pledges
during Victory Week, November 30
