Twelve million dollars is a large
figure when compared with what We
! have been doing heretofore Dr. u. B.
Gray, corresponding secretary OF the
Home Mission Board at Atlanta, de-
clares. but IL is very reasonable in
comparison with our ability and small
in comparison with the needs OF the
Home Mission fields"
Setting for the the particular obliga

the war has transferred the center Of
education from Europe 10 this coun.
| try, DIR. Gray says: This brings a
new day OF opportunity and responsi.
bility to our people. Our schools and
| colleges must be strengthened and en-.
lowed. They must be made thorough.
ly christian in fact as well as in the.
DRY. In this way We are TO counteract
the vicious ideals of Germany and her
allies in the world war. Our youth
must be trained on proper lines as TO
religion and ethics. This can be done
best in our denominatlonal schools"
Some OF the educational institutions
totsercd by the Home Mission Board
are the forty mountain schools sery-
ing 100000 residents OF the South
living in mountainous territory where
public high schools are lacking. Fully
$1,000, 600 could be used to advantage
In strengthening the equipment and
teaching force Of these schools, il is
estimated. so great is the need.
Another demand of the home field
is the 1000 church organizations In
the South which need assistance in
the erection of suitable houses OF wor.

problem created by the presence in
the South Of 10000 900 negroes. Speak.
ing OF the negro problem DR. Gray
says; They are OF more vital con.

We need o large company OF the best,

up their race and make them worthy

That work among the foreigners in
the homeland offers the best and most
economical opportunity for missionary
labors among them anywhere, is the
declaration OF the Home Mission lead.
ers. These foreigners are in the
fields. mines and factories and are
vital part of our civilization. This
work among the foreigners not only
gives them the christian religion, but
makes them more contented and bet
ter American citizens, il is pointed
out.
Great homes for the future of the
churches in the South are held out in
the enlarged program of evangelism
and enlistment which the Baptist 75
