Knoxville, TENN. Fl. Anderson
of this city, commissioner for Tennes-
see in the Baptist rs Million Campaign
and chairman of the executive COM
mittee of the campaign commission,
looks for larger life to come to the
Baptists of Tennessee as a result of
the information impaired and the en-

about in this tate through the cam

900 to the campaign, contributed $780,
coo to the erection of 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.. Ander-
son said:
'The most expanding thought that
has ever entered the human brain is
that historic sentence spoken by our
first great world Citizen, ninetea"
hundred years ago, Go ye 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 expa-i-
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.

For the first time in all history

Dare l say to my beloved Tennes-
see brethren that the opportunity is
before us to demonstrate to, our
selves and to the world that we have
outgrown provincialism and have be-
come world citizens?
1.-THE pure unmixed blood that has
made our mountain people so fine
and loyal has in the past been the
cause of MAY l say it?) our feeling
of aloofness from other parts of the
country and world. We have had
no melting pot in our midst, no need
for one, and so have had no training
in extending our sympathy and COM
passion for others. The rs Million
Campaign is going to lift us out of
this limited vision, and give us a Wis
lon as wide as the world.
The enthusiasm and confidence ey-
erywhere are wonderful. Many of
our people feel that 100 million dol
lars will be raised instead of 70 mil
lion. We must not allow our over
confidence to cause us to relax our
efforts. Day and night, let us work
with hand and heart and brain for
these few remaining days to make
certain the greatest VICTORY ever
won for God and humanity.

paign is to raise the sum of $4,548,-
