"Dear Brother:
sAt a gathering of representatives
" tine Association of Mems Bible classes
Of the city Sunday afternoon, March
{ 8 at the First Methodist church, it
was decided to launch q Bible Glass
Evangelistic Campaign" Those present,
after careful consideration, decided this
to be the most important activity in
which the men's classes of the city could
engage at present, it being conceded
that the winning of men to Christ and
the lining of men with church is a
paramount duty of Christian men
Definite organization for this activity
should be perfected within each class
In the Birmingham district.
This campaign will be conducted on
Bible Glass" campaign launched last
(. fall. Reports will be made by the va
rious classes and records kept, at head
quarters of the Birmingham Council OF
Religious Educa ton, 401 Title Guar
antee building.
THE purpose of this campaign is to
reach those within the classes and
within the communities who are not
christians, and to line up with the
churches any persons who have not iden-
titled themselves with local congrega-
tons. A Bible class should not be
contented as long as men within its
midst are unsaved. =
Enclosed is a suggested plan for or
Ranizing within each class commit
tee to be charged with the evangelistic
program of the class. This plan is
suggested because by experience it has
proved to be. the most effective way of
promoting personal work. ="
The executive committee of the As
sociation of Mems Bible classes urges
that each class Immediately organize
for this important work. Approx
mately sixty-fiye classes will stimuli
taneously enter into this campaign. The
success of this evangelistic campaign
depends upon the individual efforts OF
each class. a. s.
We are depending on your class for
enthusiastic activity"
