Va., is Just com pleting ten years of service in that capacity, and the survey conducted by Dr. Alldredge shows that during that time the receipts of the board have been $1,6,149,994.64, whereas the re ceipts for the entire 78 years of the board's ^history have been $24,915,- 704.86, showing that two-thirds of the total receipts of the board since its organization in 1845 have come in during Dr. Lovefc administration. Results on Foreign Field! Large Indicating the results which these larger receipts have made possible on the foreign fields, it is pointed out that whereas the Foreign Mission Board was operating in only seven countries ten years ago, it Is now at work in seventeen countries, repre senting Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America. In that brief pe riod of time the number of foreign churches has grown from 380 to 1905, the number of mission stations other than churches from 43 to 308, aumber of baptisms per year from 5,262 to 12,856, members of the churches from 29,991 to 111,872, number of houses of worship from 248 to 819, number of ’Sunday schools from 542 to 1,511, pu pils enrolled in the Sunday schools from 22,022 to 76,504, contributions by the foreign churches from $91,159.69 per year to $444,568, number of Amer ican missionaries on the field from 278 to 544, number of native Chris tian workers employed from 634 to 2.494, number of mission residences owned by the board from <6 to 129, number of mission schools from 339 to 860, number of pupils in those schools from 339 to 860, number of pupils in these schools from which 50 per cent o^ all the converts won . by the missionaries c me, from 9,376 to 35,106, number of American medical missionaries employed from 12 to 19, and number of medical treatments given per year from 74,829 to 294,482. So extensive has become the foreign mission work, as well as that of home missions, state missions, Christian education, hospitals, orphanages had the work of ministerial relief fostered by Southern Baptists, that the denom ination has grouped ali these Interests into one general program known as the- 1925 Program of Southern Bap tists. and all. the 28,000 local white Baptist churches of the South are being asked to put on a budget that will adequately provide for all these causes, the budget to be raised through an every momher canvass of the churches every year. » Take Special Offerings In April Inasmuch as a number of the churches have not yet completed their canvass and many churches which put it on did not enlist every member, the Headquarters Committee of the 1925 Program, in co-operation with the various state secretaries, is asking that Sunday, April 19, be observed as a day of special offerings in the churches for ail dhe objects embraced in this general Program. Where a church holds its regular services on somfc other Sunday than April 19, that congregation Is asked to observe the day of its regular worship with spe cial offerings for these causes. By reason of the recent rapid expansion of all the general causes of the de nomination, and to enable.-the boards and other jigencles to discharge^ their heavy obligations, an effort is being made to raise a minimum of $4,000, 000 in cash during the first four months of 1925. It is with a view tc enlisting tfs nearly as possible every one of the 3,500,000 white Baptist* ol the South in this undertaking that the special offerings for the nu-mth ol April were suggested.
