Mrs. Breazeale said that the cotton
alone In Oconee last year brought
five million dollars Mrs. Bose said
that this is time fraught with dan
ger, but bristling with opportunity.
God through the war has unbarreds
doors heretofore closed to us. The
dire need Of the world is the reason
for our undertaking this campaign.
The cross Of Christ Is all that can
meet the need, for during the war
all else failed Utterly.

this campaign is to be used by the
various States to develop the work
there along the lines to which Jesus
gave his life-preaching, teaching
and healing. This work will
strengthen the stakes for the work

money These other objects are:
100000 converts; 100000 men,

be willing to undergo hardships to
accomplish this task. Too many are
unwilling to go to the Cross.
Each month until December and
Victory Week has special objective.
July was preparation month. All
plans for the campaign were laid
then by the leaders in conference at
nashville. August was information
month. The aim during this month
was to put the Baptist Courier and
Homo and Foreign Fields into, every
Baptist home. The accomplishment
Of this aim will mean much to the

come now or never come" That Is
the call Of the sin-stricken and dying
world to Southern Baptists. If we
mean to ever do any thing, It mus,

We owe God tenth, but he re-
