C. 5,000 Helpless Orphans in South Are Asking the Privileges of a Home Baptists Are Providing For That Many at Present in Fifteen Institutions But as Many More Are Waiting For Admission?The 75 Million Campaign Plans to Meet That Need. . \ A Group of Boy* and Girls in the Tennessee Baptist Orphans Home near Nashville who are being cared for and trained for useful lives. Does your heart go out to the worthy bey and girl beroft by the Heaper of. father and mother, ?tnd left alone in the world without the fostering ciuq of those to whom they are naturally inost dear In the world? Then you will understand why Southern Baptists have established orphanages in fifteen states, are caring for 5, <>00 such children In those homes and training them for useful livi* in the world. | Hut the need is far greater than the ability of these Institutions to meet It. While five thousand children are being cared for in these orphanages, there are on the waiting list of these Institutions fully five thousand more equally worthy, fatherless and moth j erless boys and girls who want the I privileges which these orphanages af- I ford but which must be denied them for the present because there is no room with which to shelter more of them. So when the Baptist 75 Million Cam- j palun was launched for the enlarge- 1 ment of the wor kof the denomination along general lines In ah effort to meet growing spiritual needs . In the homeland and throughout the world, the sum of 14.700,000 was apportioned to the orphanages, this sum to cover u program of five years, as the $75, 000,000 sought in^the campaign will be raised in cash and five-year pledges durim? Victory Week, November 30-; December 7. In tho homes that have been pro vided for the orphans facilities are 1 provided for giving regular schooling of the same character that is afforded in the public schools, beginning with the kindergarten and continuing to the tenth and eleventh grades In the hijch schoo,. This work in the gchool room is .supplemented, however, with practical training along industrial and ?>ther lines. For instance, the hoys t?re given courses in practical farm work on the farms which have been purchased and are operated by the homes, livestock production. .carpenter ing tinwork, plumbing, laundrving. and the like, as well as courses in business for those who show special ^Capta tion for that line of work. The school room work for the girls is supplemented with the study of mu sic, domestic scienco, stenography and the like. Large attention is given to the religious life of the children, also, and ? this is given emphasis in the daily chapel services, and in the Sun day School and preaching services on the Sabbath. The orphan children respond readily j to the opportunities and privileges af j forded them and there have gone out i from these Institutions a number of j tl^e most useful men and women in j the various states. While taking pride | in the accomplishments of the boys and girls who are in the homes at ' present, as well as those who have | gono out from there to make their own | way in the world, thp superintendent i and teachers are saddened by the fact | that there are so many other helpless .children who ought to be aided but cannot be by reason of the limita tions of t' e homes Enlargements are necessary for all of the fifteen orphanages fostered by Southern Baptists which are located in the following states: Alabama, Afc kansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois. Ken i tucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Mis i souri. North Carolina, Oklahoma, j South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and ' Virginia. 13 MILLION WHITE PEOPLE NOT SAVED THIS IS ONE OF THE PRESSING STATE MIS8ION PROBLEMS IN THE SOUTHLAND. THE SITUATION IS OUTLINED Baptist 75 Million Gampaign Has Ap portioned $11,000,000 To Be Em ployed During the Next Five Years in Meeting Need. Within the eighteen states compris ing the territory of the Southern Bap tist convention aro 1 3,00<>.0? >0 white people who are not only not identified with any church, but who do not claim to Iwj christians, occording to informa tion gathered by the Baptist 75 Mil- I lion Campaign. To try and reach these ' people with the gospel is one of the aims of the campaign and to meet the problem the state mission organiza- i tion in the various states will set themselves. To help these organiza tions in meeting that problem the sum of $11."00 000 has been apportioned from the total of $7?">,000,000 that is sought for all purposes, and during the next f i v ? years the state mission forces will seek to reach these mil lions of people right here at home with the gospel and enlist them in some phase of christian work According to this same source of in formation. it is learned that there are 3.391 towns and vil^iges in the South with a population of 200 or more in which there are no Haptist church or ganizations or no Haptist houses of worship Inasmuch as these towns In fluence more or less the surrofindlng territory an effort will be mads to reach them and the territory sur rounding them during the five year program of the Baptists, It is an nounced There are seventy four county seats In the South without a single Baptist church or meeting house, it has been ascertained l>y the campaign head quarters. By reason of the large num ber of public officials residing there, and the large number of people who go there from every section of the county-- to- attend ' the sessions 6T : ' tli 6" various courts, pay their taxes and the like it is regarded that the county seat towns are of especial importance and it is hoped that before the next five years have passed there will be an active Baptist cnurch in every county-seat in the South. Engaged in the work of state mis sions at present are 1524 missionaries, and while this may seem like a reason able number, when the vast* territory* to be served is considered it has been found that fully 1 ,0<>0 extra men and women are needed at once, for in ad dition to reaching the people who are not christians there are many weak, struggling churches which need assist ance and whose members need devel opment . In the several states of the Southern Raptist convention, for in stance. there are li.OOrt churches with a membership of many thousand which give but very little to any interest ot (be denomination and which are doing but very small things for the uplift of their communities. In addition to these very weak churches, many of which have no pas tor, there are in the various states a total of churches which havt preaching services only once a month 3,000 churches which have service* ; only once a month, and only about ? 2.200 full time churches Part of the ; $ 1 1 ,0<'0.00<> apportioned for state mis ksions will iro to the strengthening of ' .he weak ?hui\hes and the bringing of j them to full time pastorates where possi ble Leader? in the campaign hav^ : sought to are for pv*?ry interest of i the denomination in the $7.', 000. 000 j that is asUed In cash and five-year pledges during Victory Week.
