work at an expense of less than 1
Ter cent. II is believed a new record
will have been established in tho
Economical conduct OF big drives for
Benevolent purposes.
Another record made by the Bap-
Ssts in this campaign was the short
dme employed in carrying it to a
successful finish. In less than six
months after the close of the At
lanta convention. the drive had been
Isunched, seventeen States and the
District Of Columbia had been or
gaEized. district organizations had
been set up in more than 500 asso-
aiatIons, nearly 10000 local churches

seats forty delegates.

riod another similar sum will be
raised. "
Hundreds Of needy ministers are
already said to receive assistance
from the new relief and annuity
board. Provision is made whereby
a minister, by paying small pre-
MUM each year. will receive an an
nulty of $500 when he reaches the
age of 6S years. If disabled by ac-
cident or sickness he will receive
his annuity Immediately.

years.
1t is felt that the victory achieved
in a financial way should be con-
served by campaigns OF evangelism
during this year. Through the
South such special services are be-
ing held.
In Memphis more than 1000 new
members were received into Baptist
churches, with 500 at Dallas, San
Antonio and Knoxville, and 1,700 at
Birmingham. In many States this
campaign was deferred until after
the convention here.
