TO RAISE $50, 900 BUDGET

Danville, Ky.-Declaring that the
Convention was the rock on which
the denomination's solidarity was
wrecked, and that caused the separa-
tion and the breach that has not been
healed, and that seems to be widen
ing to the extent that it has become
permanent, DIR. John Edmund Wood,
the president of the National Baptist
Convention, who was elected at FIT.
Worth, Texas, last September, has
issued an address to the Baptists Of
the United States, In which he deals
with the facts that confront Negro
Baptists.
Not State Church.
He declared that the National Bap-
tist Convention, which meets in
Chicago, Illinois, on Sept. 1915 will
put over the biggest program in the
history of the denomination. He re-
viewed the fact that the 100000
budget set aside at the executive
board meeting in Nashville in Feb
ruary wouid- be raised. the Seminary
saved, owned and managed by Ne
groes, and that every plan now ad-
vanced would be calculated to move
the Baptists onward and upward. He
stated that the National Baptist Con-
vention is not a state church, and
that the spiritual side of the denom-
ination Is being fostered on the New
Testament Church basis, and that a
voluntary association, a coming to-
gether of spiritual leaders and mes
sengers, bearing messages from their
congregations is the one real existing
aim of the thousands who cling to the
majority rule in Baptist bodies.
Never Chartered.
DR.. Wood is of the opinion, his
friends say, that 90 per cent Of the
Negroes of the United States are
building upon sure foundation, and
that the Baptists are not in the rear
of this progressive element. He said:
"Our National Baptist Convention,
the parent body, the original Conven-
tion, has never been chartered, and
when a movement is chartered 1t has
its birth, and becomes a person, for
that is the day it is officially born,
especially when charter is issued"
The organization becomes Body
Politic, person in law, he said.
