BAPTIST CHURCHES GIVEN BIG QUOTAS

some of them have had hard time to meet expenses, even on that basis, the members are wondering how it is possible for them to more than double their financial burdens and manage to lift them.
 The state board of. promotion in it's announcement to the churches makes the following statemeunt:
 "The announcement herewith sent you is not mere guess as to the amount of money you are able to pay or can be made to pay to the victory campaign. In determining the amount which should be allotted to each church, four factors, all of which manifest financial ability have been used. Three of these have been found in the report which your church made to the association and the convention last year, and the other is in the rec ords of the secretary's office. The first three are:
 "First-Church membership.
 "Second-Local expenses of the year.
 ~Third-Benevolences for the same
 'aThe fourth factor was your allot- nent in the six million dollar drive N Using these four factors as a basis the allotment of each church has been carefully worked out"
 Unlike some of the other denomina- tions the Baptists are entirely inde- pendent. Each church is the judge of Its own actions, and while there arc associations and conventions they l really have no power to impose legis lation on the churches. If thu churches want to make an effort tt | raise the quotas assigned to them i | is their privilege; if they think tn, program impossible. it is within thei rights to act in accordance with thei own convictions on the subject.
