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.

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

New Medicine G;.ins sanie in
It Has in Many Oi
.Many people of this city and county
have started taking Meritone, tit
famous new system medicine, since
it was announced in the newspapers!
just one week ago that a supply of
Meritone had been shipped here to
McLaurin Drug Co.
Indications now point to the fact
that Meritone will become just as
successful in this city and county as
it has in hundreds of communities of
a similar size, and it is possible that
the sale here may rival those in such
larger places as Nashville. Chattanooga,
Birmingham, Lexington, K>\,
and others, considering the size of
this community.
