proximately 5000 orphan children

educated and trained for life and
service In these institutions and a
vast service to society is thus being
rendered, but the pathetic side Of
the situation is that fully 5000
more orphan children are on the
waiting lists of these Institutions,
anxious to be admitted to the priv.
iIeges there, but the lack Of room
is such that the doors must remain
closed to them until the homes are
enlarged. No more Christly task
confronts Southern Baptists than
the enlargement of their orphan
ages to the point where homes and
practical Christian training can be
provided for all orphan children
who desire to enter, regardless Of
creed or sect. To make a worthy
start in the accomplishment of this
task during the next five years the
sum of s4,7oo,ooo has been appor-
toned by the campaign and every
cent of this will be needed.
Plan Relief of Human Suffering.
Fourteen hospitals operated LY

mands made upon them because Of
inadequate equipment and facilities.
The demand for charity work ID
very, very great and will always
be so, and it is work of this
character that probably needs
most to be done because of the
inability of the sufferers to 90

the road TO health and larger use.

and the sum Of $4,S00,00 appor.
toned from the campaign for the
strengthening of these institutions
will be expended in a manner that
will help those in charge do the
work which Christ loved so much
to do while on earth in giving sight
to the blind and hearing to the deaf
and enabling the lame to walk.
To succeed in raising this huge
sum of money for purely spiritual
purposes will make it nscessary
that 5aptists have a larger vision
than they have had before; larger
realization of the worlds need Of
the gospel and of the service which
Christ commanded His children to
give to their feIowmen; a deeper
spirit Of prayer and conservation;
a reader spirit of sacrifice; and a
deeper love for the souls of men.

Get New Sense of Responsibility.
During the crisis through which
America has passed during the last
three years there has come to all
the people a fuller sense of their
civic social and religious response
blllty to their fellows everywhere,
those within the homeland and
those living in the most remote
quarters of the globe We have
come to realize that the foreigners

Vie"s-ere our brethren, and to
them we owe the love and obliga-
tion which brotherhood entails.
So in the program of this cam
paign a large place has been given
to the spiritual reconstruction of
Europe, the planting Of the gospel
of freedom in those devastated
countries which need Jesus Christ
and healing for the mind, body and
soul which He exempIified while in
the world and the continuation of
the work in which He committed
to His church when He assembled
unto the Father. Six million dol
lars of the sum that is sought In
this campaign has been set aside
for reconstruction work in Europe
and commission composed of
prominent Baptist ministers, mis-
sionaries and laymen Is now in
Europe looking over the various
fields there with a view to deter

be most wisely expended.
Other Fields Provided For.
And what OF the other mission
fields of the world? They are not
to be overlooked in this campaign.
The sum of SIS ,0O0,0 900 for the next

been dispensed with at some future
time the editors will be invited to
Lakewood and things arranged so
that they can have the whole show
to themselves.
Secretary Striplin has just return
ed from a visit to some of the big
fairs and grand circuit tracks and
says that the amusement feature OF
every character will be the very best
in the history of the fair and that the
entries of the grand circuit stars will
furnish a racing program such as
no other Southern fair can present.
The Kentucky racing horses which are
going to Havana for the winter rae
ing will be on the card as usual and
we will have two days of auto rae
ing, October 20-21 for those who
want something faster than the
ponies.
Our entries in the live stock, ag-
ricultural and horticultural depart
ments exceed all previous expert
ence, and at this time there not an
inch of spcae left in the agricultural
building and we are ordering tents
to take care of the demand for space
IN other departments. We have, of
course, anticipated an unusually big
cattle and swine show, for we have
increased our swine premiums until
they are twice that of any other
Southern fair, and we again expect
to have the biggest swine show in the
United States except the National,
and we will have many of the best
breeds from that exhibit.
We are making many improve
ments for the comfort of the patrons
of the fair, with special arrangements
that will make it possible to see all
of the exhibits no matter if there
is little rainy weather. Pavements
have been put down from the main
building to the stock barns so that
the whole is now connected up like
IIle SIDEWALKS OF the city.
This is going to be a big year
S ofar as the exhibits of utilities and
labor saving devices are concerned,
and our automobile show will be the
finest ever seen in the Southeastern
states. The exhibit space in the Lib
eral Arts building has all been taken
for three weeks and some manufac-
turers will have to resort to tents to
make their demonstrations. The
machinery midway will be a wonder
IN the nAumber and character of
farm machinery exhibits.
With Johnny Jones' shows and big
midway exposition, fifteen big frfee
acts in front of the grand stand,
running, trotting and pacing races,
with big victory fireworks program
to finish, we feel that we are still
giving the biggest show for the
smallest admission of any amusement
enterprise in the South.

nadequacy of their numbers can bs
readily realized. The Foreign Mis-
sion Board needs to employ 200 ad
ditional missionaries at once.
Home Missions Gets $12, 100000.
But important as is foreign mis-
sions, it has no monopoly on the
fund that is being raised by the
Baptist rs Million Campaign. A to-
tai Of $12,000,00O has been appor.
toned to home missions, which,
briefly stated. includes the mission
work in Panama and Cuba; reach.
ing the foreigners in the homeland
with the gospel; caring for the
| needs of the million Mexicans in the
Southwest; uplifting the Negroes; /;
working among the Indians, many
of whom are located in the South.
west; the maintenance of schools in
the mountainous territory of the
South where there have been but
very few public high schools; help
ing the weak churches in the re-
mote districts and in the large cen
ters of population in securing houses
of worship; evangelizing the mass
es in the congested citieG, and en-.
listing them in the work of the
kingdom; and various other phases
Of work Of an interstate character
which can be done more advanta-
geously by the Home Mission Board
than by the several state mission
boards.
100000 Are Not Christians.
To the task of state missions the
sum of $11, 100000 has been appor.
toned in this campaign. Few per-
sons who have not mad an opportu-
nifty to make an intimate study of
this situation have any comprehen-
sion of the enormity of the need
here. Accurate information lust
compiled at the headquarters of the
campaign reveals the fact that there

$4,000, 900 Goes to Education.
With the exception of foreign
missions, the largest apportion-
ment that has been made by the
campaign to any single interest
goes to Christian education, this
interest drawing $4,000, 900 during
the next five years, or $4,000, 900
per year. There are 1872 Baptist
academies, colleges, universities,
seminaries and training schools in
the South and all Of them are in

But Of vastly greater significance
than how long it would require to
accumulate $75,OOO,O00 is what this
money will accomplish if invested
in the advancement of the kingdom
of God in the world, and that is
what the Baptist rs Million Cam
paign proposes to do with it.
Big Task Is Confronted.
Too big sum to be asked at one
time, did you say? 1t is a big sum,
but not too large to meet the urgent
world needs which the Baptists
must help supply, nor is it in excess

the next five years if they once get
an adequate vision, of their opportu-

And what will this much money

Of the ignorance, superstition and

come some of the finest Christians
the world has ever known. The
light and love of the gospel have
made new creatures of them; life
has taken on an entirely different
aspect in regard to everything since
God came into their souls; they
have espoused the Christian religion
under circumstances that required
heroic sacrifice; and they have be-
