Knoxville, Tenn. H. Anderson
OF this city, commissioner for Tennes-
see in the Baptist 70 Million Campaign
and chairman of the executive com.
mittee of the campaign commission,
looks for larger life to come to the
baptlsts of Tennessee as result OF
the information impaired and the en-.
listment in Christian service brought
about in this tate through the cam
paign. Mr. Anderson is president of
the Baptist Convention in Tennessee
and the Laymen's Missionary Move
ment, and in addition to giving $780,.
900 to the campaign, contributed $780,
600 to the erection OF a new church in
his home city.
Discussing what the campaign will
mean to Tennessee and how the sum
to be raised by the Baptists of this
state will be expended, Mr. Ande1.
son said:
"The most expanding thought that
has ever entered the human brain is
that historic sentence spoken by our
first great world Citizen, nineteen
hundred years ago, Go We into all
the world and preach the Gospel to
every living creature, The human
brain is unable to compass one thou.
sandth part of an inch more expan-
sion, without encroaching upon the
infinite, and that's God realm.
Southern Baptists have been
claiming the above sentence as one of
their fundamentals all the past years.
Why is it, then, we have remained
such little folk with such big
thought in our brain? Is it not be-
cause we have not followed the
thought with action? And this is one
of the greatest, indeed the greatest
blessing that is going to come out of
the rs Million Campaign to our de.
nomination. We are vitalizing that
expanding thought and never more
will we be merely citizens of our own
little neighborhood, our own county,
1r safe, CT Il ton. L ,ery man OF
rs must be, indeed is, wnrld citizen.
DR.. Truett has been hammering this
thought into the minds and hearts of
our people wherever he has gone dur
ing the past weeks.
For the first time in all history
Baptists have put on program that
even approaches in ma glitude that
world-girdling order, Go We into all
he world
Dare | say to my beloved Tonnes
see brethren that tle opportunity is
5efore us to demonstrate to our
alyes and to the wc,il chat we have
)utgrown provincialism and have be-
ONE world citizens?
