railroad executives to consider reduc

The proposal that the finance cor

before Secretary Wallace in detail
several days ago by group of mid

Mr.. Coolidge today held two long

with the Minnesotan and Secretary
Wallace, who said today that the

plan within few days with the ex-

The principal question in the mind

whether such plan would meet his

Program Of Baptists
Beginning In 1925
To Be Announced

Although steps are being taken by
southern Baptists to map out plans
for another UNCONVENTIONAL program
to cover a period which shall begin
in 1925. when the program based on
. the 75million campaign has been
completed, every emphasis is now
being placed on the completion of
the 75-million campaign. This was
stressed at a meeting held during
the past week in Nashville, Tenn,
by the program commission of the
Southern Baptist convention, APP
pointed at the 1928 meeting of that
body in Kansas City.
The program commission, which
includes UNCONVENTIONAL leaders
from all over the south, heard the
report of a subcommittee named to
consider tentative plans for the next
period of activity, and definite an
nouncement as to the result of. the
meeting will be made shortly, in
time for presentation to the various
state conventions, according to DR..
B. d. Gray, executive head Of the
Baptist home mission board, who is
d member of the program commits
sion.
1t is not desired to detract inter
est from the 75-million campaign
now in its fourth year, according to
DIR. Gray and every effort will be
made this year and next year to
measure up to the fullest ideals set
as the goal of the denomination for
the five-year period now on. The
collection of pledges now due, the
securing of pledges from Baptists
who have joined the denomination
since the campaign started, and the
collection of past due pledges, are
three features of the campaign now
being carried on throughout the
southern states.
1.-THE 75-million campaign brought
in more than 500 100000 in pledges -
said Dr. Gray; "but if no more than
$75,000,000 is actually received. the
home board will be able to liquidate
all it's debts and have three-quarters
Of a million dollars margin if it re-
ceives it's just share as agreed upon
at the outset of the campaign"
