GERMANS MARCH ON RIGA, THE CHIEF SEAPORT OF LETVIA To make a general survey of ths economic, social and religious condi tions in Europe with a view to recom- mending to'the Baptists of the South where aud how they can aid most ef fectively in the reconstruction of that continent through the Baptist 76 Mil lion Campaign, a commission, com posed of Dr. J. F. Love, secretary of the Foreign Mission Board at Rich mond, Va.; Dr. Z. T. Cody, editor Bap tist Courier, Greenville, S. C., and Rev. Everett Gill, missionary at Rome, Italy, who is returning after a leave of absence in this country, and who .will serve as guide and interpreter to the other members, is now in Eng land for a conference with the 'Bap tists oTGreat Britain and will go From there for an Inspection of France and Belgium. Another brief conference will be hedd with the Baptists of Switzerland, after which a trip will be made through Italy and a survey of the new rept^>- 11c of Czecho-Slovakla conducted. From European mission, Dr. Love made the following statement outlining the pur pose of the commission: “When the call came to help save* promote and secure democracy in Eu rope there came £ louder call to help save, promote and secure evangelical Christianity in Europa. That which alone will now preserve and pcfrfect the democracy for which Drave men have died on the battlefield of Europe is the Christianity of the New Testa ment Southern Baptists can not long er profess New Testament Christian ity and decline a challenge like that which is now presented to them to bear witness to their faith among the peoples of Europe. Our people never before faced such a challenge and such a responsibility. ^ Of course we can not go to the men and women of Europe who have been stripped of earthly fortune and reduced to direst necessity with a message of Christian love and brotherhood if we decline in our abundance to carry some substantial pledge of pnr love 1 and Oompasslon. Mothers will not be able to stay the crying of their little onee to hear us preach if we decline to practice-the gospel or compast-ion and feed these little ones and build fires at which they can during the com ing winter warm their frosted toes. Southern Baptists are under the most solemn obligation to help relieve the want and suffering of Europe. But if there were no reconstruction work in Europe* Southern Baptists nave mo tives numerous enough and strong enough to compel them to make a com plete success of the Baptist 76 Mil lion Campaign. I would therefore, as my parting word to my brothers and sisters of tha South, Implore them to give themselves .to this campaign and carry it to a triumphant conclusion during Victory Week, November. 30- i December 7.” 1^' —i~iii^e~ rw~n~i~ —ii—m— r»~m-ii ~i<~>»~u~i n^^ ^ ^^—ir-nr n r»rc $4,800,000 10 BE HD FOR HOSPIIALS Prague, capital of Bohemia, the com mission will go into such partp of Rus sia as are open, and the foreign trip will be concluded with an inspection of Palestine, where the missionary work formerly done in Syria, Persia and Galilee by the Illinois Baptist As sociation has been turned over to the Foreign Mission Board.
