OF that ideal Is had In a number of
the Baptist orphanages Of the South
through the establishment of a cot.

of children are placed in a cottage
which they call home, under the su-
pervision of kindly, tactful matron
and patron, who study the charac.
teristics and qualifications of each
individual, assign him or her to
tasks as nearly in line with the act

and take as large personal interest

cottages has it's own garden, flower
plat, wood yard and other institu-
tions, affording special individual
chores for the children, and except
at school, religious services. picnics

oIed with in terms of the individual
and the family rather than in those
of the mass.
But the Baptist IS Million Cam

the education Of the people has
been very backward and children
are always the losers where ig-
norance and superstition prevail. In
China, for instance in spite OF the
rapid progress that has come to that
country within recent years, chill
dren have little or no chance for
normal development except in those
homes that have been reached with
the enlightenment and love of the
gospel. Girls are still unwelcome
because Of their small economic
value, and there are still posted on
the preserves of some of the wealthy
residents whose estates adjoin the
rivers such signs as, "No children
shall be drowned on these prem
ises." And the treatment for dis
eases prescribed by the heathen
physicians in some Of these coun.
tries is worse than death itself.

Isv FRANK e. BURkHALTER

Ever feel the thrill from the
chubby arms of little child near
and dear to you as they encircled
,aur neck in a fond embrace?
Or look into the beautiful frank
eyes of that little loved one and
contemplate the possibilities that
lie hidden in that soul, or what you
would not take in exchange for him
or her who bears your name and IS
bone of your bone and flesh of your
flesh?
Then possibly you hav> expert
c,ced something of that divine
spirit that prompted the Man OF
Galilee to exclaim:
Take heed that ye despise not
one of these little ones,' and
It is not the will of your Father
who is in heaven that one Of these
little ones should perish"
And it is the belief of Southern
Bapt:sts in giving a large place to
the welfare and all-round develop
ment of children In the Baptist rs
Million Campaign that they are pur-
suins a course that h,s the sane
tioa of Christ Jesus, the proclama-
ton of whose Gospel everywhere IS
always accompanied by larger at
;cltion to the physical, mental, So
cial and spiritual development Of

and spiritual.

Hospitals Help the Lite Ones.
That the children who come into
the world with weak bodies, who
contract illness or are manned by
accident may have a larger chance
to become sound in body and thus
be equipped for a larger develop
ment, happiness and usefulness in
the world, Southern Baptists have
provided hospitals in almost all of
their states, while under the impe.
tus Of this campaign the states
| which have not made such provis-
ions heretofore have agreed to set
aside certain sums raised during
this campaign for the erection of
modern hospitals within their bor-
ders. Indicative of the special in
terest taken in the welfare of chill
dren, special children's depart
ments, with roof gardens and other
moders equipment specially design
ed to meet the needs of sickly, un-
der-nourished and undeveloped little
folks may come and under tle care
of the best children's experts which
the cities afford, have a larger
chance to attain the normal healthy
lives which it Is believed God wills
that they should have, have been
provided in some of these hospitals.
But probably the largest contribu,
ton Baptists have made to the wei.
fare of children in the South is in
the establishment of the string Of
orphanages, there being one OF
these in practically every state
within the bounds of the Southern
Baptist Convention. And the lar
gest possible provision is being
made at these institutions for the
homeless tots who have been robbed
by the Grim Reaper of their natural
protectors. Time was In this coun
