 Dr. L. R. Scarborough, who was general director of the Baptist 75- Million Campaign, and who was later elected chairman of the Conservation Commission that is seeking to con- serve all the interests of that cam paign, has issued a report from the Nashville headquarters showing the various interests that have profited from the s16, 6,s6A100.6S collected on campaign pledges up to Dec. 1, 1920.
 With its receipts of S2,95S, ,808.07, the Foreign Mission Board has added to its territory five new provinces In China and made the beginning for opening up work in the new fields of Spain, Hungary, Roumania, Jugo- Slavia, and the Ukraine in Russia; strengthened it's work in Syria and Palestine, made a beginning in East ern Siberia, added 100 new workers to its force of American missionaries in foreign lands, provided new houses of worship, hospitals, schools, pub fishing plants and other institutions needed in the prosecution of mission ary work. What is of even more i'm portance, in the estimation of Secre- tary Love, is the completion of many institutions and undertakings that had been held up for lack of funds
 Home Missions Doubles Budget
 By reason of the larger receipts from the campaign, the Home Mis- sion Board has been enabled to prac- tically double it's annual budget for its work of evangelism, church build ing, work among the foreigners, h. dians and negroes, mountain mission schools, enlistment, and general mis- sion work in Cuba and Panama. The appropriations to evangelism have been practically doubled those to church building increased between 800 and 600 per cent, those to the mountain schools, forty in number, 100 ner cent, and those to the work of enlisting undeveloped churches, 300 per cent.
 Tn the realm of state missions, which embodies such work as provid- irg missionaries and other special workers for needy fields within the states and aiding weak congregations in the building of houses of worship, the advance made possible by the ampaien ranges from 9 to 100 per cent in the eighteen states of the con vention territory.
 Returns to the Conservation Com mission by forty-five of the Baptist institutions of learning which are sharing in the returns from the cam paign, show that they have received S2,713,756 so far. Of this sum, $1,- 640,000 has been expended on i'm dowment, several hundred thousand dollar, in old debts have been wiped out and other improvements are un- der way
 Ten New Hospitals Provided
 Southern Baptists were operating fourteen hospitals when the campaign began, and as result of the new in. ter.st in this work aroused by the campaign ten additional hospitals have been launched. These hospitals have received $1,111, ,439.45 from the campaign so far, while local commu- mites in which the hospitals are To- cated have subscribed approximately $2000,000 additional. The hospitals have practically s1,000,0OO in i'm provements under way The seven teen Baptist orphanages have. like wise come in for much larger support as a result of the campaign, their receipts from this source being s1 ,0fS, ,79S.67. AS a result of this in- come the orphanages have been en- abled to make improvements valued at s325, ,O0O. The work of adding aged preachers is new one among Southern Baptists as whole, but as result of the cam paign the Relief and Annuity Board has received s405, ,14S.S2 from that source and $300.00o from MT.
