Cling congregations in the erection OF
well-appointed church houses and the
development of their Sunday Schools.
Why Good Houses Are Needed.
The accompanying illustration shows
a typical Cle-room church building and
also an exterior view and floor plans
of a modern, well-appointed church
building, calculated to take care of all
the needs of a church organization and
costing no more than the one-room
building.
This proposed building has many
things in its favor as compared with
the one-room structure, aside from it's
attractive appearance. First It is
more durable, being so constructed as
to resist wind and storm. Second, Il
is easily heated in the winter, its vestt
bule cutting out the cold wind from
the entrance, while by reason of the
building having several departments it
is needful to heat only the department
being used on those Occasional when
only small gathering is had. Then
the auditorium in the center is shielded
from the extreme weather by the de-
partments surrounding it, though in
the summer these surrounding depart
ments can be opened up, giving abun-
dant ventilation. Again, the new build
ing offers admirable quarters for the
several departments and classes Of the
Sunday School, thus making thu teach.
ing of the Bible a much easier task.
Then the social life of the ccngrega-
ton can be greatly promoted by the
better building, in that it affords ample
quarters for church receptions. BAN
quets and ether affairs of this nature,
enabling the church to give the young
people adequate social activities under
wholesome environments.
This and many other approved types
Of country churches are being en-
ployed now in every Southern state,
and a mere efficient church work Is
being done wherever such building has
been erected, it is declared. Sufficient
varieties Of plans have been prepared
to serve the needs Of any particular
community.

In addition to the nurseries and

for young and old, the neighborhopd
houses being open during the winter
months from to in the afternoon

cooking, sewing, first aid and nursing
are taught girls, manual training and

TWO AND A HALF MILLION NEW
CHRISTIANS ARE SOUGHT.

Baptists Of the eighteen. states In
the territory of the Southern Baptist
Convention are now in the first stages
Of the campaign that is aimed to win
at least two and half million new
converts to Christ in the homeland dur
ing the next five years. This Is an
average of 100000 new converts for
each year of the rs Million Campaign
and early returns from the evangeIistIc
r'fo~ts indicate the goal will b
reached.
The Adair County news., 1920-05-19

Several outstanding results of the
Baptist rs Million Campaign will be
noted in the larger development of the
rural churches. This development will
take the form Of a more efficient
church and Sunday School life and in
better houses of worship around which
the church and Sunday School actiV-
flies will center.
Through the enlistment department
Of the Home Mission Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention, Atlanta,
Ca, weak, struggling churches will be
aided in development to the point
where they can become self-supporting
and employ a competent pastor for
much more of his time than has been
given these churches before, while
plans for the betterment Of the rural
Sunday Schools through a series Of
institutes for the training of teachers
in all the Southern states this summer
will be carried out by the Baptist Sun
day School Board.
Best Plans Are Recommended.
Plans have been perfected by the
architectural department of the Bap-
fist Sunday School Board at Nashville,
Tenn, in cooperation with the Church
Building and Loan Department Of the
Home Mission Board, whereby local
building committees can procure de
tailed plans of the best modern church
buildings for either large or small con-
gregations. These plans have been so
drawn as to take care Of every phase
Of church activity, the Sunday School
and other departments being so pro-
Vided for as to enable them to do their
most efficient work. And a modern
building, containing all these essential
provisions, can be provided by any
community that is able to build an old
fashioned OnerOom church building,
as the cost for the modern structure
is no more than that of the old-style
one.
Big Loan Fund Provided.
To aid deserving congregations in
building adequate houses Of worship
the church building loan department
was established six years ago and al.
ready more than zoe churches have
been helped in building needed houses.
The initial fund, established for this
purpose, was fixed at s1,000000 and
an additional 100000 will be re.
ceived from the IS Million Campaign,
Applications pending now aggregate
S1,OOOOO0 and loans are being made at
the rate Of $4,000 per month. No
loans are being made in excess of one
third Of the value Of the property, and
the loan made must clear the property
Of all other Indebtedness and thus
make it possible to dedicate the build
ing.
FROM the 70 Million Campaign the
Home Mission Board viii receive, also
S2,500O00 to be used as gifts in the
building of additional churches during
the next five years, but this sum will
be expended largely in aiding churches
in stragetic points, among them being
educational centers where it is de
sired to erect churches for promoting
the religious life Of students, especially
Of those students affiliated with Bap
fist churches.
OF the $4,000 Baptist churches in
the South, $1,000 are in the rural dis
tricts and in small villages, and 1906
of them have preaching services only
once a month. While the work of the
enlistment forces will be to help these
weak congregations solve their prob
lens and help them develop in mum
bers and efficiency, the other denomi
'aational agencies will help these strug
