Prior to the visit of this commission. missionary work by South. ern Baptists in Europe has been cen fined to Italy and Bohemia However. the commission visited England, Scot. land. France, Belgium. Holland and Italy, but found it impossible to ret into Czecho- o-Slovakia, the Balkans and Russia at this time.
 Palestine and Egypt Visited.
 After the tour of Europe had been completed, the commission, which ins cluded Dr. z T. Cody, editor of the Baptist Courier, of Greenville, s. C.. and Dr Everett Gill, formerly mission ary to Italy, but now a pastor in Kan sas City, went to Palestine to look into the missionary work there. formerly cone by the Baptists of Southern Hi nois. but recently taken over by the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. A trip into Egypt for the purpose of studying the Moham- medan situation was made by the party while awaiting a ship on which to re turn to Italy. So far.
