BAPTISTS RAISE A BARRIER.

Revelation Of the failure Of the Boil
hevik movement to produce the power
TO lift up the downtrodden of Russia
ia made by no less a Russian than
Maxim Gorky. In an article published
at Helsingfors, Finland, Gorky is
quoted as saying:
The revolution has not been fol-
lowed by any spiritual revival, and
has proved itself unable to make
men more honest. Men now in
power are just as brutal as those
In authority under the imperial
regime, and send as many men to
prison.
Bolshevik leaders, driven by am
bition, are performing experiments
on human beings.
It is in the belief that Christianity
is the greatest barrier that can be
raised against the growth Of such a
spirit in the United States that the
New World Movement of Northern
Baptists has organized 10,666 churches
to raise $1O0,000,000 between April 25
and May 2.
Declaring for a vigorous applica-
ton of Christianity to problems Of
world unrest" the Northern Baptists
are to extend educational work, spread
their Americanization Of the foreign
born to a greater degree, work among
Indian tribes and the negro race more
than eve before, develop many more
community centers in the cities, occupy
vast areas that now have no church,
and expand their work in the foreign
fields.
While applying these measures, eff
forts are being made to knit the social
fabric more closely by bringing the
family closer together as a unit. In
the churches this takes the form Of
organization Of groups of several fam
lilies In each group. The observance
of family Sunday" every few weeks
is another factor in this movement.
The need for such improvement OF
family life has awakened civic authori-
ties, too, and several states have
"home bureaus" That of Illinois, for
instance, states its purpose ito develop
every home into an institution which
Is economically sound, mechanically
convenient, physically healthful, NOR
ally wholesome, mentally stimulating,
socially responsible and a center OF
unselfsh love-"
And both church and civic leaders
agree that with such a development,
much Is done to lessen the peril to the
nation from ~radicalism.

INDIANS TO
Be REAL AMERICANS

Extension of work for the American
Indian is being undertaken by North.
ern Baptists as part of their New
World Movement. A great campaign
of education, the establishment Of
churches and a thorough system Of
welfare work are important features
of the proposed Baptist program for
the Indian.
That the Indian has been neglected
Is asserted In a recent survey made by
Northern Baptists. "Of the $4,000
Indians in this country, only 10000
can read or write" states the report.
LESS thai 100000 can speak the Eng
fish language. not %one-fourth have been
admitted to citizenship, and, while
there are a few good schools, there are
not enough to meet the need"
The opening of a new station among
the Navajo in Arizona. the largest ex-
listing tribe at the present time; extern
sion of work in California; establish
ment of stations among the Rocky
Boy Band and the Flatheads Of Mon
tana a new school of secondary grade
in Oklahoma, are among the immedi-
ate steps to be taken in enlarging the
work among the Indians.

TEACHES BOYS To
MAKE STEAMERS
Baptist Missionary in Burma De-
veIops Unique lndustry-GoV-
eminent Helps in Education.

ION the road to Mandalay, where
the old fiotilla lay" steam launches
built by the Burmese boys of a Baptist
Mission school are now making fire.
quent trips and the profits from their
sale to the natives are helping in the
establishment Of practical industrial
education In that country.
The Rev. DR.. @. A. Nichols is the
man that is directly responsible for
this Industrial development. In far
off Burma, on the actual soil OF old
England, ever though as Kipling says,
there amt no buses runnin' from the
bank to Mandalay," he secured a saw
mill.
1t was in Bassein, one Of the towns
grouped about the numerous mouths
Of the Irawaddy, that the enterprise
was begun. The Irawaddy is the very
river upon which Mandalay is built
and up which "the old flotilla" made
its way from Rangoon. Rev. DR.. Mich
OILS went to work as a Baptist mission
airy among the Sgaw Karens, one OF
the forty races in cosmopolitan burma,
conducting a missionary school along
the standard lines.
One day a British commissioner Wis
iting the school asked why the boys
were not taught a trade. DR.. Nichols
made the t~ime-honored missionary ex-
cuse, lack of funds to purchase equip
ment.
The commissioner. however, was so
well impressed with the progress that
the boys were making In their studies
that he undertook to put a dozen OF
them in the government railway shops
to study as machinists. Here the boys
spent five years learning their trade
and during that apprenticeship retain
ed their membership in the mission
church. This was the first step In
the development of the industrial edu-
cation idea. The next was the pur-
chase of the sawmill.
Incidentally the Northern Baptist
Convention has grasped the signif-
canoe of DR.. Nichols idea, and in its
New World Movement program In
cludes a project "to establish a trade
school at Moulmein and Introduce edu'
cation in the Industrial arts, for indus
trial independence will make for the
strength of Christian society In India
as In America"

TO SPEND MILLIONS FOR
NEW BAPTIST CHURCHES

Plans for the New World Movement
of Northern Baptists provide that lib
churches of that denomination will
receive $3,500,000 for new buildings
and that "a Observation-Disclosures
centers will receive $1,000,000 for add.
tiunal modern equipment. All of this
is included in the $100,000,000 cam
palgn which the denomination will
AIRY on between April 25 and May 2.
II is also planned to spend 100000
to clear up the debts or 81 churches.
This program a held up during the
war. along with all kinds of building
activity, but the Edifce Department Of
the Northern Baptist Convention re-
ports that S725,000 was distributed
among 20 churches to remove long
standing debts and to purchase prop
erty.

CHURCHES TO NEED
100000 WORKERS
This Is Estimate of Force Re-
quired by Interchurch World
Movement Program.
5000 NEW MISSIONARIES
TO GO TO FOREIGN FIELDS
Burden of Preparation Rests Chiefly
on UNCONVENTIONAL Schools
and Colleges.

More than 100000 workers will be
needed during the next five years in
the world campaign planned by Ameri-
cas- Protestant churches affiliated with
the Interchurch World Movement.
More than 5000 new missionaries are
to be recruited for the foreign fields
alone, and thousands of other work
ers, lay and clerical, are to be secured
for churches in the affiliated organiza-
tons of this country. Where are they
all to come from?
1t used to be the notion that the only
essential equipment needed by a per-
son who proposed to devote his life to
the church was a "call." On the other
hand, the modern mission worker
knows that, while devotion to duty is
an absolutely indispensable requisite,
it must be supplemented by highly spe-
cialiZed training. AS much executive
equipment is required, it is comment
ed, to direct a congregation as to di-
rect a business, for the successful cler-
gyman must know modern life in all
its many sided phases quite as well as
DlDllCdl HlSlOIy. Liz hlloSlOHdly HOW-
adays must often teach agriculture,
carpentry, hygiene or sanitation to
pave the way to the gospel.
Most of the church workers of to-
day are trained in church schools and
colleges, the Interchurch survey shows.
A preliminary survey of education in
the United States made by the Inter
church has brought out the fact that
90 per cent of the ministers and mis-
sionaries in service have received their
education in institutions under the con-
troll of the church. To these institu-
tions the church must look, it is believ-
ed, for most of its future workers.
Part of the fund that is to be col
lected by the Interchurch World Move
ment will be apportioned among the
UNCONVENTIONAL schools and colleges
supported by the churches which are
taking part in the CAMPAIGN.

USES TELEGRAPH TO
PREACH GOSPEL

The telegraph preacher" is the
unique title which has been given to
Ramon of Managua, San Salvador.
Ramon won this title from his use Of
the telegraph wire to reach fellow OPP
orators. Converted some years ago by
an American Baptist m mission
airy, Ramon became a railroad worker.
He is station agent at Managua. In
the quiet hours of the night he sits
down to his key and ticks off gospel
messages and an appeal which makes
other operators ponder. He has a rec
ord of many conversions through his
unusual methods. = His wife, formerly
owner Of three "cantinas," or saloons,
sold these because of her conversion.
Extension of work in Sal Salvador and
other Central American countries Is
provided in the New World Movement
Of Northern Baptists. which, between
April % and May 2, win raise $780,
100000 to finance its many activities.

These chapel cars are just what the

with a chapel on each n and living
quarters for the missionary and MS

railroads, stopping in various

frequently in smaller towns that are
entirely churchless. Services are held
in them, both at the stops and en- route

cIuues an study OF ne
problems of the city. Some of these
have been completed and are available
as demonstration of the th~oroughness
and system with which these cooper
ating denominations have sought to
face the problems which the Church
must meet in the American cities If
they are to be met.
"In approximately 70 per cent of the
counties throughout America the
Rural Survey is under way. Some
counties have been completed and can
be used as typical of the exhaustive
nature of this study of rural prob
lens. 1t is shown as a result of these
studies that, while there are not too
many churches, as has been often stat
ed, there may possibly be a better dis
tribution of these churches and Of the
ministers, who are the great influences
back of the Church. This matter Of
distribution is being referred back to
the denominations for a policy to be
determined by them"

Movement is merely the servant of all.
"The budget represents an earnest
attempt on the part of thoughtful
Christian men and women to make a
study of the worlds needs as viewed
from the standpoint of the co-operat-
ing churches and to lay these needs
upon the minds, the hearts and the
consciences of the people Of America,
thus placing the responsibility where
it belongS-upon the shoulders of the
individuals who make up that element
