Campaign Brings Enlargement
In addition to the sending out of $50
new workers to foreign fields. the IS
Million Campaign has made it possible
to increase the number of native
workers from III to 1172, to practical
ly double the missionary equipment in
the older fields of China, Japan, AT
RIGA, Italy, Brazil, Argentine, Chile,
Uruguay and Mexico, and to enter the
new fields of Spain, Jugo-Slayia, Hun
gary, Roumania, Southern Russia, Pal
estine and Siberia. Southern Baptists
now have practically unbroken
string of mission fields encircling the
globe, and a possible mission audience

total population of the globe.
And the results on the field have
kept pace with the larger investment
in the work and number of workers.
Since the outset of the Campaign the
ganization of 1T new churches, 81, 1928
baptisms, 211 new Sunday schools
with a gain of 1856 pupils, native
contributions to Baptist work of ST.
003, 39O.6S, and 529,642 treatments ad-
ministered by missionary physicians.
Churches on the foreign fields, exclu-
sive of the new terriotry in Europe

with 64,251 members. There are also
971 Sunday schools with 1851 pupils,
and 694 mission schools of all grades
with 26,507 students.
Expense Rate Is Low
More than $6,250,000 net has gone
from the Campaign into foreign mis-
sion work, and so economically have
these funds been handled, the Beard
reports, that 1924 cents out of every
dollar has actually reached the for
eign fields, only 3.74 cents out of each
dollar being required to care for the
total cost of administration. But with
these larger receipts and economical
administration the Board is unable to
meet the demands upon it, and at it's
last annual meeting it was compelled

workers have been sent to foreign
fields during the rs Million Campaign,
or one-half the goal that was set in
the number of workers to be provided
during that movement. 1t is antici-

during the remainder of the Campaign
period that will expire in December,
1924. The workers going out this sea
son will enter the fields Of China, ia

J Inasmuch as the largest missionary
effort of the denomination is centered
in the Orient, the larger portion of the
