Baptist people of this community, and
explaining the object Of the SIS, 900,

and entertaining speakers. This
large sum of SIS, 600, 900 is to be raised
by the Southern Baptist throughout
various States, and the speakers were
confident that more than that amount
would be paid. Rev. Homer intimat-s
ed that the local church here would be
asked to give $4,000, to be paid in

members are a little doubtful as to
their ability to raise the amount, while
others believe that it can be SubScrib-
ed with proper effort. The drive will
start soon, and if the Baptist go after
the sum in dead earnest they will be
as successful as were the Southern
Methodist who were called on for So
