Provide Homes For the Homeless.
In breaking away from this Gus
tom of placing children and in pro-
viding institutions as nearly like
genuine homes as possible. where
fatherless and motherless little
folks can be developed in mind,
body and soul under environments
just as wholesome and happy as It
is possible to procure. Baptists have
been pioneers. Naturally. no insti-
tuition can have the same environ
ment that a real home, presided
over by a natural father and moth
er, and occupied with these parents
only by brothers and sisters Of full
blood affords, yet an approximation
Of that ideal is had in a number Of
the Baptist orphanages Of the South
through the establishment Of a cot.
tage system where limited number
Of children are placed in cottage
which they cali 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
ual bent of the child as practicable,
and take as large personal intert t
in his or her problems and develop
ment as possible. Each of these
cottages has its own garden, flower
plat. wood yard and other institu-
tions, affording special individual
chores for the children. and except
at school, religious services, picnics

II so large q work has been done
already, why the need Of increas-
ing 1t through the Baptist Is 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 very, very
small part of what needs to bs
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 $40, 100000 apportioned to
foreign missions a considerable
sum will go to sending more mis-
sionaries to foreign fields to pro-
claim the gospel to adults as we'll
as to children; s12,O0O.000 will go
to home missions for its work
Of evangelism. enlistment, church
building, mountain schools and the
like in it's vast field, along with
special work among the foreigners,
Indians and Negroes; s11,000,0 900
will go to state missions in an ef-
fort to win to Christ the 10000 900
unsaved white people within the
territory of the Southern Baptist
Convention; S20.0O0,00O WI be ap.
piled to Christian education in en-
larging and eGGowiag the Baptist
educational institutions Of the
South; s4,SOO.OOO will go to the hos.
pitals; S4,700.0GO to the orphan
ages; and $2.500.OO0 for the relief
of the aged ministers Of the Bap-
tist church who have worn them
selves out in the service OF God on
salaries that. have permitted them
to save nothing for old age.
But investment n the salvation
of the children will bear larger and
larger returns throughout the years
because millions Of them will live
long enough to bless others and to
raise up still other children who
will pass on these blessings to 9TH
ers yet unborn. :.

Uplifting Children Of Many Lands.
And the work for the physical.
mental and spiritual uplift Of the
children in Cuba, Panama. Mexico,
Brazil, Arg ,ntine, Chile, China, ia
pan, Syria, Persia and Galilee. In
which fields, also, missionary work
is being carried on by the Southern
Baptist Convention at this time.
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 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 heather
physicians in some Of these coun-
tries is worse than death itself.
Shrouded in ignorance, supersti-
ton and sin as the lives Of the
children Of these lands are in most
cases. the missionaries represent
ing the Southern Baptist Conven-
ton 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 Is 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 long time been
handicapped by .ack Of money and
other facilit:5a. Frequently they
have rescued children who have
been thrown out to starve and after
resuscitating them. given these out

own homes, where many Of them
have grown into useful Christian
workers.

institutions thrOug the South
land where children as they develop
into young men and women can be
more adequately trained for lives
of social and religious usefulness
at the same time their minds and
bodies are cultivated; and the pro-
vision of Good Will Centers in the
large cities and mining and factory
districts for reaching not only the
children, but helping the parents as
we'll provide better homes and home
surroundings for the little ones
whom God has entrusted to their
care and rearing.
Hospitals Help the Little 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 ill 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
modern equipment specially design
ed to meet the needs of sickly, un-
der-nourished and undeveloped little
folks may come and under the care
of the best children's experts which
the cities afford, have 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 well
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-
try when many people felt that Or
phans were entitled to little consid-
Grafton further than a shelter. and
! for long time they felt that if chill
dren without fathers and mothers
were placed in homes where they
got food and shelter in exchange for
aard manual labor they had been
really served. OF course. many
childless couples with high ideals
were glad to get children upon
whom they could bestow their af.
