: DIR. j. w. Porter, pastor of the
First Baptist church, Lexington,
who is well and favorably known
here, where he has conducted sew
eral successful protracted meetings,
has been called to the First Baptist
church at Jackson, Tenn. DIR. Por-
ter is not only successful pastor,
but a scholar of master attainments,
a fine writer on the doctrines of his
faith and should he decide to leave
Kentucky the loss to his denomina-
ton as pastor and editor would
be grievous. Kentucky Baptists
should hold on to DIR. Porter with
a tenacious grip.

ALL MINISTERS OF STATE -
CALLED TO CONFERENCE
ntechurch World Holds Great Gathering Atlanta
The First Part Of March.

All evangelical ministers OF this
county have been invited to join pas
tors of all the Protestant churches OF
South Carolina in a monster CONFER
ence which is to be held in Columbia
March 3-5. This is the first time in
the history of the Christian churches
of the state that such gathering has
been held, and great good to the
churches Is expected to result from
the meeting together Of denomina'
tional leaders from all the various
churches.
The conference will be in session
for three days, during this time every
available moment being taken up with
intensive consideration Of church
problems, both as they affect Georgia
and the entire Christian field through
out the world. It will meet at 2 o'clock
of the first day, and remain in session
with conferences morning, afternoon
and evening, until the late afternoon
Of the third day.
will be brought up for consideration
will be the results of the religious sur
vey Of the state, which will be present
ed through the medium OF graphic
charts, maps and picture slides. Al
though the survey will not be complet-
ed at that time, there will be large
number of the counties Of the state
ready for exhibition, and these will
form the basis of consideration.
The results of the surveys are said
to be very startling in their revelation
Of church weakness throughout rural
districts, and they will show many op-
portunities for concentrated action on
the part Of the churches in this state.
The Interchurch World Movement, in
making its surveys, simply discovers
the facts which exist, and then refers
the findings to the churches Of each
county and state for whatever action
Is deemed necessary by the churches.
Present at the meeting will be some
Of the great Christian leaders Of the
South and Of the nation Some Of the
strongest men in the southern
churches will be in attendance as
speakers. There will also be one or
more Of the directing heads Of the
Interchurch World Movement among
the speakers to speak with authority
on whatever features Of the movement

and the American Smith College
which maintain Ginling, is modern.
One pushes ajar the halves of a
moon door, latticed over paper in
plum blossom and honeycomb design,
and enters a chemical laboratory set
up In room with 20 windows, each
framed in dragon tracery. And from
the fagstones Of the laboratory floor,
often is scraped fungi and mould for
use under the microscope.
These are typical contrasts of Gin.
ling College. revealed through the
survey of the Chinese field now being
made by the Interchurch World
Movement, which seeks to promote the
closer cooperation Of Protestant
Churches of America in attaining their
world aims.
Ginling College, the survey shows,
is at the heart Of five Chinese prov.
inces, with total population of no..
000,000-and is the only woman's col.
lege in that great area.
Ginling owns 81 acres of land on
the hills beside the Yangtze river. In
the 1nterchurch World Movement sur.
vey of China, there is a budget item
of S500,O00 1t is there to show the
churches of America how they can
place upon that land on the hill the
library, administration building, rect
tation buildings, chapel-all that are
needed for. a modern college.

The way to all things at Ginling lies
through the moon door. And through
the moon door on the way to wisdom
pass and repass, every day, the 70
Chinese maidens of the "gung-gwan."
The moon door at Ginling is round
as the full moon, whence 1t has its
name. And the Chinese maiden, as
she steps over it's high sill, may spread
wide her arms and still not touch its
rim with the tips Of her fingers.
