created four new boards-an educa-
ton board, a mission board, a So
cial service board and a publishing

die all Baptist activities.
The majority and minority reports
were first laid on the table, but this
action was later reconsidered and
after a brief discussion by DR.. A.

next year.
The consideration Of the education

tons of the committee on correlation
followed the annual convention ser.
mon, delivered at o'clock by DR..
Finley f. Gibson, of Louisville, Ky.
He appealed for more rigid adher
ence to the uneXpurgated Baptist
doctrine, declaring that many are
saying the church has failed on
the following points:
l. Because it has failed to inspire
the individual man.
2. Because it has failed to quicken
3. Because of it's worldiness.
4. Because it has failed to dis
tinguish between primary and Sec
ondary.
5. Because it has failed in its So
cial mission.
6. Because 1t has failed in It's APP
peal to man.
Simple Obedience Urged
"Isms are rampant" said DR..
Gibson about what we ought to do
what we shall do and what we can
do, but there is no greater need
right now than that the Gospel be fix
ed and secure. We may turn our
churches into motion picture shows;
we may turn them into entertain
ing bureaus; we may make of them
athletic institutions, and many 9th
er things that are born out of the
very depths of hell, but never by
any human agency will we lead lost
souls to Christ. It's not done tina:
way Too much time is being given
to outside matters and not enough
to the one great thing for which
Christ shed His blood on Calvary.
Simple obedience to the commands
of the Son Of God is the only way
to salvation. It Is easier for us
preachers to get our members to do
anything human than to get them
