HALF MILLION
TIIHERS ClALOF
DIXIEBAPTISTS
Three Times AS MANY Men Now
On That Basis AS Year
Ago

JACKSONVILLE, May 20.-(By
Associated Press.) )-Three times as
many men among the Southern Bap-
lists have adopted the tenth of their
income as the minimum of their con
tributions to religious work as were
doing this a year ago, it was an
nounced in the annual report of the
laymen's missionary movement at the
Southern Baptist convention today
The goal Of the organization is half
a million tithers.
The question of establishing a
great Southern Baptist university
has been deferred for another year
approximately $4,000 baptisms
were administered by the represen-
tatives of the Home Mission Board
in their regular work during the last
year, it was reported by DR.. b. D.
Gray, corresponding secretary.
Members of the evangelistic de-
partment also reported the enlist
ment of 3,l00 young people in giving
their lives to the ministry and other
special forms Of Christian service,
an dthe establishment Of 2,G75 fam
lily alters in the homes of the peo-
pie.
Among The 100000 people OF
foreign birth in the territory of the
convention the board has employed
1872 workers during the last year,
who organized Is new churches, 80
new Sunday schools and erected five
new houses Of worship. The enlist
mcnt department organized 50 new
churches, held services with 1914
Eastorloss churches, secured 1856
additions to the churches, and con
Quoted special campaigns along many
lines calculated to promote the eff
cheney of the local churches.
discussing the task of enlistment,
Secretary Gray reported that II 600
cut Of the more than $4,000 local
Baptist churches in the South were
not enlisted and were making no con
tribution to the general work of the
denomination, while practically one
third of the new members won by
the denomination were lost to its
work by the failure of the churche~
to nurture the new recruits.
One Of the most significant
achievements of the board for the
past year was the formal opening OF
the tuberculosis sanitarium at e
Paso, with its modern plant. The
work among the Indians, among the
seamen at this city, and in Cuba and
the Canal Zone wa sail reported a,
having had very successful year.
