Group of Young Women Volunteers, Preparing Thom*eWe? for Special Christian Service at Baptlvt Womea'i Training School, Fort Worth, Texaa. Probably the most encouraging *d* relopment that has come to the Bap tist 76 Million Campaigu, so far, Is the large number of young men and women throughout the South and Southwest wfco hav# volunteered their services for special Christian work wherever (Jod may need them. A special day was set apart in the Baptist schools and churches for "calling out the called," when it was . expected ? to se cure. a minimum of 5,000 volunteers for special Christian service, this num ber being necessary, it was held, if the enlarged program of the campaign was to be carried out. Returns from these bervlces are still coming in- with the prospect that the number will reach at least 7,500. These volunteers will enter the min istry, go as missionaries, Christian doc tors, nurses and teachers to foreign lands, labor in the homoland for the advancement of the kingdom of God or serve in any special capacity where they foel the l>ord directs them, Bay lor College, Belton, Texas, an institu tion for young women, led the list of schools with 430 volunteers; Bessie Tift College, Forsythe, (Ja., responded with 24S; Ix)uisiana College, Plneville. La., 93; Women's Training School, Ixnilsvllle, Ky., 115; Southwestern The ological Seminary, Ft. Worth, Tex., 83 for the foreign field alone; Okla homa Baptist University, Shawnee, 57; while similar responses came from nu merous other Institutions in the vari ous states comprising the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention. Prominent among the many interest ing accounts of the special services held in the churches was a report from Rev. E. Allison, a Baptist minister of Etowah, N. C., who, now in his eigh BAPTISTS PLAN TO SYSTEM IS RECOMMENDED FOR PREVENTION OF RADICALISM IN THE SOUTH. AMERICANIZE FOREIGNERS ' Teaching Thtm English and Ideal* of United States and Christianity Is Part of Program of 75 Mil lion Campaign. Southern Baptists havr no sympathy for the I. \Y. NV.'s., Bolshevist* and bomb throwers, and while radicals of that type are not numerous in this sec tion of the country as yet. it is the hope of the Baptist 71 .Million Cam paign to make the spfead of such de structive propaganda hero impossible by so pervading with the gospel all centers where radicalism might expect to obtain a foothold as to make it im | possible for the professional asltators j lo receive a sympathetic hearing. In I other words, it is the hope* of the cam ; p;iUn to so extend the work of Amer ! i'.mi/ini: .md ^hrist lanitmg the for I eiuners living within the territory of the Southern Baptist Convention that they will measure" up *o the inches! ) standards of patriotism ami religion. There art' 4.0"m noo p<-r>ons of for ( ei^n h'.rth and children of foreigners ? living within the t*-rt\toi v of the South* j em Baptist Convention and while con ' mderable work has he?n d >r. e already i along the line of teaching Americanism j tnd the Christian n-lui n to these | propln, this work w:!i h' *reatly en i J arged as a result of t H ampaign ; In the South wester: states there i.-vre 1.00^ Mexi< i i- hvinr I \ Taxas 2 1 >.00'i in Nr?v Mexico T* ' CO Loul?'an.t and t ?'<e number ili ansas. f > k 1 a . . < ? t ? . .id Missouri Be. * of the growing impc,nan"e of tleth year, looks buck over au active ministry of sixty yea^s, practically all of which has been spent In the vicinity which he is now serving. Mr. Allison has the unusual distinction of having baptized 5,526 persons and at leant 700 additional converts under his ministry have been baptized by an assistant pastor since*' Mr. Allison's health has not been good, duo to his advanced vears. When thin aged minister of the gospel presented thecal! for volun teers for special Christian service in this campaign, three young men, ail of whom were converted and reared under i Mr. Allison's ministry, responded for | the ministry themselves, one of them being his nephew. But the campaign hopes to enlist a large number of Christian workers other than those several thousand who will give themselves entirely to special religious work. The campaign hopes | to enlist 2,000,000 additional pupils in | the Stinday Schools of the South and (Southwest: win 2.500^)0 additional ; souls of this section to Christ during ! the next five yearR; bring the Baptist church membership in the South to 1 5,500,000 and enlist all these in all I forms of church work; increase the number of Baptist churches In tho SOUth to 40,000, and enroll 40,000 young men and women in the denomination's schools where they will prepare them selves for lives of Christian usefulness In their communities or for service in i any part of the world where they may ; be needed. While it is the hope to raise $75,000, 000 to be invested in the larger pro gram of Christian service which gave 'the campaign its name, raising the j money is only one of the objects sought. Baptists are being implored to give themselves and all of their talents as well as their money to God, Director Scarborough announces. the Mexican work the campaign has appropriated $S75,000 to it alone for j the next five, years. B,ut the Americanization and evan i gellratlon of the foreigners is not con fined to Mexicans. This work is car ried on also among the newly-arrived immigrants at the various Southern ports, among those of foreign birth in the mining districts of Alabama, Okla ] homa and Illinois and among other groups of people of foreign birth in Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Maryland and Virginia. Some of the state or ganizations carry on work of their own among theso people, while in many places the program is carried out co operatively between the state mission i boards and the Home Missioji Board. In many instances a large work is | done by the latter agency alone. Believing that both Americanization .and evangelization can be accomplished most effectively by first reaching the children. Baptist agencies have estab lished schools where the English lan guage is taught, along with American and Christian ideals. Such schools are already being conducted with great success among the Italian and Cuban children at Tampa, Fla., for French speal ing children at Church Point La., for Mexican children at El Paso and other Texas points, while commun ity center work !s carried on exten sively nt many of these points and at numerous towns and mining centers where people of foreign birth make up a large percentage of the population, the social work of this character being [conducted by Baptist women. i.urjre results arf? expected to follow the work of the !! .ptist Bible Institute at New Orleans, where Instruction is given in English.
