TRUK TO OUBSELVKS, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR COUNTRY AND OUR GOD. Thirty-First Year Established June 5, 1902 McCORMICK, S. C. Thursday, December 1, 1932 Four Pages Number 26 Baptist Every Member. Canvass Began Sunday Rehoboth News The second great southwide Ev ery Member Canvass for financial •rapport of local church and denom inational causes is being conducted by the twenty-five thousand Bap tist churches of the Southern Bap tist Convention this week. The canvass began on Sunday, Novem ber 27, and will continue all this week. South Carolina Baptists are co-operating under the leader ship of Dr. C. A. Jones, General n Secretary-Treasurer, and Rev. W. S. Brooke, Field Man of the Gen eral Board of this state. ' It is estimated that most of the churches reached seventy-five per cent of their members on Sunday and during the week the canvass will be pressed to the end of reach ing each one of the 236,000 Bap tists in this state with an oppor tunity to pledge their support for all the work which Southern Bap tists foster. The aim for South Carolina gen eral causes and for this state’s part of the southwide causes is $350,000. This amount will be divided so that state causes will receive fifty-five per cent and the southwide causes will receive forty-five per cent. Every, cause which the denomin ation supports is included in the one pledge which all members are asked to make. The causes with in the state are as follows: State Missions, Orphanage, Hospital, Christian Education and Sunday School and B. Y. P. U. work. The southwide causes are: Home Mis sions, Foreign Missions, Education, Ministerial relief, and Hospitals. Because of reduced operating cost every dollar given now will go farther toward accomplishing the purposes for which these institu tions have been set up than at any Baptists are tak ing grea.t interest in maintaining all their work at the highest point of efficiency possible at this time. The statement often made, that .religious causes suffer before oth ers in hard times and that people reduce here first, does not seem to be borne out by the facts, since Southern Baptists gave this past year, 1931, almost as much for all as they have given for those in other recent years. There however, been a decrease in the proportion of their gifts which have gone to the mission, benevol ent and educational work with a corresponding increase in the amount which, is used for local church work. This is due in part to the fact that many churches have been forced to enlarge their buildings to take care of an ex panding church teaching program in Sunday school work particularly. The expenditures were necessary, and since much of this improve ment has now been paid for, it is directed that a larger proportion will be given to missions from now on into the future. Baptist growth has been phen omenal in recent years, and this growth is generally attributed to the work of their institutions. Leaders generally believe that fu ture advances will depend upon the returned emphasis on the insti tutions represented in the Co-op erative Program. Denominational leaders are very optimistic about the outcome of the canvass of this week. Mr. J. L. Corzine, Publicity Director, says, “We are especially hopeful for the outcome of this canvass since the Baptist State Convention has as sured South Carolina Baptists that there will b# no additional request for pledges to a debt paying cam paign this spring, and the pledges requested at this time will be the sole appeal for our co-operative vo rk during the year.” BATTERIES FOR ALL UGHT CARS $6.65 WHITTLE BATTERY SERVICE *22 BROAD PHONE 1166 AUGUSTA, GA.
