ozerinde Nathaniel, of 0gDomoso,
Africa, was reared and instructed
in the home of DR.. G. E. Smith, Bap-
fist missionary, became a Christian
and so ambitious was he to learn
that after he had completed the
schools in Africa he came to Amer
lea and entered Virginia University
at Richmond, where he took off all
honors. at .the same time working
for all his expense money. He re-
turned to Africa and is vice presi-
dent of the boys academy in his

A day school in China, one of the
greatest evangelizing forces known
to the mission board, and which is

and spiritual salvation of the girls

for about $40.
If so large work has been done
already, why the need of increas-
ing it through the Baptist 70 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 a very, very
small part Of what needs to be
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
coyet for the children of your own.
1t is to help answer this caH that
the campaign was launched. Other
interests than those of children
win be fostered at the same time.

could reap from the labors of these
helpless ones and the situation was
neither happy nor helpful for the
children involved.
Provide Homes For the Homeless.
In breaking away from this Gus
tom of placing children and in pro-
Vfding 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 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 a limited number
of children are placed in a cottage
which they call home, under the SUI
pervision Of kindly, tactfal matron
and patron, who study the eharac-
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 interest
in his or her problems and develop
ment as possible. Each of these
cottages has it's own garden, fiswer
plat, wood yard and other institl-
tions, affording special individual
chores for the children, and except
at school, religious services, pienics
and the like the children are reck-
oIed with in terms of the individual
and the family rather than in those
of the mass.
But the Baptist rs Million Cam.
paign does not confine its interest in
children to those of the homeland.
There is now in Europe a com
mission representing the campaign
studying to see how this movement
can aid most effectively in the re-
construction Of that country, espe-
cially these portions of it which
were devastated most largely by
