there may be additional funds to ap

Uplifting Children of Many Lands,
And the work for the physical,
mental and spiritual uplift Of the
children in Cuba, Panama, Mexico,
Brazil, Argentine, Chile, China, ia
pan, Syria, Persia and Galilee. in
which fields, also, missionary work
is being carried on by the Southern
F, Baptist Convention at this time.
F, With the exception Of Japan
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 heen 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. mo children
shall be drowned on these prem
ises," And the treatment for dis
eases prescribed by the heather
physicians in some OF these coun-
tries is worse than death itself.
Shrouded in ignorance, supersti-
tion and sin as the lives of the
children of these lands are in most
cases, the missionaries represent
ing the Southern Baptist Conyen-
tion are convinced that schools for
the enlightenment of the minds of
the children, and modern hospitals
where medical and surgical skill
can heal their diseased and manned
bodies and put them on the road
to happier and more efficient lives.
are fundamental to the success of
missionary endeavor and the moral
and spiritual uplift of the people.
So part of the proceeds of the
Baptist rs Million Camaign will go
to the establishment of kindergar-
tens and other Christian educa-
tional institutions, hospitals and
homes where orphans can be cared
for in the foreign lands. Our mis-
sionaries have for a long time been
handicapped by lack of money and
other facilities. Frequently they
have rescued children who have
been thrown out to starve and after
resuscitating them, given these out.

II so large work has been done
already, why the need of increas-
ing it through the Baptist rs MIL
lion Campaign? some may ask
The answer is-that the work that
has been done in the homeland and
on the foreign fields is a very, very
small part of what needs to be
done. The cry for help is coming
up from hundreds of millions OF
helpless children in all parts OF the
world who need and crave the priv
ileges and blessings of a great
Christian civilization such as you
covet for the children Of your own.
1t is to help answer this call that
the campaign was launched. Other
interests than those Of children
will be fostered at the same time.
OF the $2O,OOO,O0O apportioned TO
foreign missions considerable
sum will go to sending more mis-.
