The Baptist 'women of the South have agreed to raise one-liftih of the entire sum, or $15,000,000. The men and women who camo together In Colum bia exhibited an intelligent grasp up on the greatness, the worthiness, and the necessity of the underlaking, and these uilialities were matchd by a burn ing enthusiasm to put the job over at whatsoever cost and in a truly great and worthy manner. The headquarters of the campaign in South Carolina are located at Greenville, with Urs. W. T. Derleux and 'Chias. A. Jones, General Directors, President W.

The answer is an unqualified "Yes". An (Ithis answer is given because the undertaking had its beginning in the denominational heart and conscience. 'Th0 caimaign was ordered by the unaniious vote of nearly five thousand messengers in atlendanee upon the Southern Baptist Convention at At lanta last May.

The South was never so prosperous, nor were its people ever so full of hope and enthusiasm." dr. George W. Mc Daniel, pastor of the First Baitist Church, Richmond, Va., asys: "Three million white Baptists, enjoying pros perity and living in a section of in creasing wealth, can readily raise seventy-five millions for the Kingdom in flive years."
