6 BAPTIST LAYMEN These people called Baptists work like beavers, and like beavers they like to work where there is much water. In common with other denominations they have put their laymen to work. It was ascertained that the regular ministers were like Moses on a certain occasion. They needed some on to hold up their hands. The laymen undertook the job and they are doing it well all over the country. Hon. J ;hua Levering of Baltimore inaugurated the laymen's movement amongst the Baptists at the convention in Richmond in 1907. Recently the laymen met in Chattanooga. It was noticeable that for the most part laymen took charge of the sessions of the convention. The ministers were on the back seats. When the laymen's movement first began they went at the work cautiously and the preachers were prominent. They were not butting in but just wished to show their lay brothers how to move off. It has now come to pass that laymen can hold a profitable conference or convention if there is not a preacher around. The convention in Chattanooga considered every subject relating to church work at home and in foreign fields. They emphasized the method of tithing, especially in raising money for missions. Education, the stewardship of the individual and the church, the religious press, the pulpit, the home, the co-operation of all church agencies, the Sunday school, and reports from the southern field occunied every minute of the time from the opening session to the benediction at the close. Many men had nonorable titles, but the greatest honor was due the humble workers who were doing all they could in their special field of labor. The meeting was enough to inspire the ministry to better and more effective work and to arouse every layman to a proper consideration of his high duty to his church, his neighbor and God. Some ministers and laymen both are too much like a tidy housekeeper who spends her time in dusting furniture, rubbing up her fine chairs and window facings and polishing everything in drawing room and kitchen. They never go out and clean up the back yard and pull up the noxious weeds. They are satisfied if the front steps and inside of the house are clean. So these ministers and good laymen spend much time preaching to church members and visiting their own flocks and letting the crowd in the back alleys and in the dark corners take care of themselves. This Chattanooga convention ought to arouse them to con stant activity, so that they would go out and gather in the people who do not attend any church. The supreme command is "Go." I)o not preach a "powerful" sermon to the old stagers in the pews and then sit down and wait for the lost ones to come in. There is no authority for that style of evangelizing the world. Let ministers and laymen remember that the command is "Go ye into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature."?Carolina Spartan. MEDICAL STUDENT ARRESTED Charged With Aiding Girl to Leave Mother for Father. Atlanta. Feb. 23.?Cole ( 111 iCArt /d* r b'M .".v...... V.I" ^'11 v/l vxl S. C., a medical student, was arrested Saturday night in Atlanta, on the charge of aiding in the runaway of Miss Mary Clarke, 15 years old, from her mother, in Atlanta, to her father, in Monroe, La., who are divorced. The girl was caught in Birmingham and returned to Atlanta. Miss Clark and young Gibson had been in love with each other for some time, according to Mr. Guess, her stepfather, and he believes that Gibson and Robert S. Coleman of Savannah, a friend, had framed up an elopement. Gibson acknowledged, it is said, that he intended to marry the girl, but declared that she had already intended to go to her father, and that he was not responsible for her running away. He gave bond today. "Lancaster Leads. % T "I AM NOT A SUFFRAGIST." G1 Vice President-Elect's Wife Decides Much Discussed Ques- Gi tion.
