We are coming to the close of this
conference year. There are only a
few days left. Let's give our best eff
forts to closing out the work of this
year. Let's each one do something
TO get the delinquents back In church
and Sunday school. Let's resolve as
we read this that we will endeavor to
get some one who hasn't been interest
ed to attend church and Sunday school.
The interest in the Sunday school is
growing and We have fine attend
ance, but we are not doing our part by
those who are not interested sufficient
ly TO attend either Sunday school or
church. l urge each member of the
Sunday school and church to become
recruiting officer and bring his or
her neighbor and friend to church and
Sunday school next Sunday.
l am glad to announce that there
will be two services at the Methodist
church next Sunday, and the public is
cordially invited to attend. We will
do our best to make these services
worth while for you.
Again let me insist that each men,
Der of the church and Sunday school
give time, thought, prayer and effort
to the church and Sunday school.
They are the most helpful organiza-
tions in your community.
Be sure to attend Sunday school
next Sunday morning. Prof. Thomp-
sons class Of young men will have
charge of the Worship Program. We
are expecting a treat. Come ON fel-
lows. G. E. Gray, Pastor

The canvass will be conducted un-
der the general auspices Of the Co

ing state, home and foreign missions,
the Bapti1t schools, hospitals and
orphanages, and the work Of minis
terial relief. The ideal toward which
the commission is striving is that Of
every member. giving every week
to every cause In proportion to his
ability, through his local church. AS
fully as possible individual Baptists
are being urged to give a tenth OF
their income to Christian work.
So extensively have the various
missionary and benevolent enter
prises fostered by Southern Baptists
grown in recent years that 1t now
requires a minimum OF S12.oo0,o00
per year to keep the work growing.
Each state is being asked to pro-
vide its proportionate share Of this
amount. The state boards, in turn.
are asking the respective associa-
items In their states to accept den-
mite quotas for 1929 and the associa-
tions, in turn, are asking the local
churches to assume a definite pro
portion Of the associational objective
for the year.
