AMERICANS PED IB STAYAT HOI 8IGHTSEERS SHOULD KEEP OUT OF EUROPE UNTIL PEOPLE GET ON FEET AGAIN. BAPTISTS ENLARGE WORK Mission Secretary Will Recommend How Evangelistic, Educational and Benevolent Program Can Be Carried Out. Americans should keep out ol Europe. unless they have important business there, until Europeans have had an opportunity to get on their feet again, declares Dr. J. F. l>ove, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. Dr. Love, as chairman ot a commission named by the Baptist 75 Million Campaign to visit Europe and make a survey of the mission fields there, has just,returned from a five months' tour of the continent. He says Americans /have distributed cash with such a lavish hand in many places on the continent that the people have become con vinced that every American has money to throw away and as soon as they spot a citizen from this country they proceed to overcharge him for everything he buys and every service rendered. Unless Americans forego sight-seeing in Europe for a few years a lot of the natives there will become professional beggar*, in Dr. Love's opinion. Baptists Suffered Heavily, Along with the other religious de nominations Baptists suffered heavy .losses of property in Europe during the war, Dr. Love reports, but he found i that such Baptists as survived the war remained loyal to their convictions and they are now ready to welcome the aid and co-operation of American Baptists in the rehabilitation of their countries and the propagation of the gospel. From the contact formed with the Baptists of the chief countries of Eur- J ope by these representatives of the i Southern Baptist Convention Dr. Love! believes- there will ultimately be formed a co-operative alignment of the Baptists of the world that will make them larger factors in world evangel! ration than they have ever been be fore. Carry on Relief Work. While the program which Southern Baptists will carry on in the European countries which they have not occupied before will not be determined until after the commissiou has reported to the Foreign Mission Board, members of the commission found crying need for money with which to meet cases demanding immediate relief and cabled home for funds to be employed in this' connection in northern France and Belgium. This money was promptly forwarded and has been distributed through an agency set up in Paris in conjunction with the Foreign Missionary Society of the Northern Baptist Convention. Prior to the visit of this commission, missionary work by Southern Baptists in Europe has been confined to Italy and Bohemia. However, the commission visited England. Scotland, Fiance, Belgium. Holland and Italy, but found it impossible to get into Checho slovakia, the Balkans and Russia at this time. Palestine anc! Egypt Visited. After the tour of Europe had been completed, the commission, which ineluded Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor of the Baptist Courier, of Greenville, S. C., and Dr. Everett Gill, formerly missionary to Italy, but row a pastor in Ivan sas City, went to Palestine to look into the missionary work there formerly done by the Baptists of Southern Illinois, but recently taken over by the Foreign Mission Board of the Southern i Baptist Convention. A trip into Egypt for the purpose of studying the Moham-' medan situation was1 made by the party while awaiting a ship on which to re turn to Italy. So far, Christianity has made very little inroad on Mohammedanism anywhere Dr. Lone found, though some of the missionary agen-1 cles in Palestine have been established for more than a half century. He an-1 tlclpates a better chance for the Christian religion there, following British occupation of that country. Establish Orphanage in Rome. By reason of the liberal response from the native Christians in the various mission fields to the 75 Million Campaign, many improvements on those fields have been made possible. Among the enlargements already pro vided for are an orphanage in Rome, the addition of a girls' department at Rio College in Brazil, and land for a girls' school at Sao Paulo. Brazil. The Interior China Mission was ' asked for $7,500 for (he campaign, and! the missionaries there subscribed (hi?1 alone, while the native converts added $4,500. The North China Mission has1 aubscribed $50,000. while Brazil will respond with nearly $1,000,000. In South Brazil the campaign as it was carried on In the South, was duplicated I with all the special days and other ex i traordinary efforts and the response' is far beyond the anticipations of the' Foralgn Mission Board. In Argentina th? Quota asked was $75,000. while the return** from that country have already $125,000. i BAPTISTS LAUNCH I BIGGER PROGRAM i $100,000,000 IN SUBSCRIPTIONS AND $20,000,000 IN CASH BY MAY 1 IS NEW AIM SET. WILL SEEK SOULS, ALSO Evangelistic Campaign Calculated To Reach Thousands of Unsaved Persons is Announced For March and April of This Year. Now that the subscriptions to the Baptist 75 .Million Campaign have passed the $90,000,000 mark, leaders in all the states composing the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention have resolved to place this sum at $100,000,000 by the meeting of the Con vention at Washington early in May. It is also planned to bring the total of cash offerings by that time to $20,000,000. The convention at Washington will be the seventy-fifth session of that body and it is deemed appropriate to celebrate the diamond jubilee of the organization with an enlarged subscription and cash sum with which to carry forward the missionary, educa* tional and benevolent work fostared by the convention in all parts or the, world. dr/george w. truett Chairman of the Baptist Campaign Commission. This additional sum will be sought from churches which did not have a part In the original campaign, from lgembers of churches who did not subscribe then and from other persons who made subsriiptions in the fall but who fael dispo.cd to increase their subscriptions now. This effort for in- 1 creased funds will be made during the last week in April so that everything can be completed before the convention meets in Washington May 12. I 1 Returns By the States. The reports on the original drive for funds in the To Million Campaign to date, as made by the several states, follow: Alabama. $4,100,001; Arkansas, $2,265,000: District of Columbia.' $250,000; Florida. $1,370,292; Georgia. $10,100,000; Southern Illinois. $S30,704; Kentucky. $7,167,713; Louisiana, $2.* 873,000; Maryland, $007,760; Missis sippi. $4,144,902; Missouri. $2,062,506; j New Mexico, $732,260: North Carolina. $7,230,000: Oklahoma. $2,200,000; South Carolina. $7,554,772: Tennessee. *r,. 010.0ii(t; Texas. $16,300,000; Virginia. $S.29S.4V.S. Returns from the for* ig-i mission fields and other sources not included in the above bring the total subscriptions beyond $90,000,000. This vast sum of money was raised at a total expense of three-quarters of one per cent, making this probably the mnci oermnmleallv enndnetpd enmnnicrn In the history of the country. i Plan Evangelistic Campaign. Prior to this effort for additional ! subscriptions and cash, however, a South-wide campaign of evangelism, stewardship and emphasis upon the fundamental doctrines of religion is planned for the month of March and the first three weeks in April, when the churches will employ their organ- i ized forces in seeking to win to Christ1 many thousands of the 20,000,000 people | within the territory of the Southern < Baptist Convention who are not affil- j iated with any church. A day of pray-1 er in behalf of the success of every item on the Baptist program for the spring and summer of 1920 has been set apart. Many of the states have al- j ready got their evangelistic campaigns well under way. In the hope of arousing as large In-' terest as possible, city-wide, county-1 wide and associational campaigns of soul-winning have been planned In many places. In other places, espe cially the rural districts, where the summer months are considered more desirable for evangelistic work, the special program will lie deferred until July and August. This will make it possible for city pastors to aid the rural pastors and thus double the evan gelistic force of the denomination. The program of evangelism, steward-: ship and emphasis upon the fundnmen-j tal doctrines of religion is calculated, to conserve the victory achieved in the1 (*impatgn for funds. I>r.
