Kolb, Executive Secretary of Baptist Foundation of Sout|i Carolina, Inc., announecd that there will be wide participation in the observance among the 1400 Baptist ehurche* which have a total membership of more than 430,000. Dr. Charles F. Sims, General Secretary-Treasurer, In discussing designation by the State Baptist Convention of September as “Make Your Will Month” com mented: “All of our Baptist in stitutions—the colleges and our benevolent institutins—are in great need of more funds for endowment purposes. These institutions have been constituted by South Caro lina Baptists as media thru which the churches are extending their efforts in world missions.” “In this month of September 1 hope that more of omr South Car olina Baptists in making their wills may be reminded of the J opportunity to continue their sup port to the Kingdom work by re- membeing some of these institu tions,” Dr. Sims continued. The South Carolina Baptist Foundation was created a few years ago by the State Conven tion to handle gift? and bequests in wills for the benefit bf all in stitutions, agencies and causes, state and southwide, sponsored by Baptists. In this way their future financial security will be’strength ened. The Southern Baptist Con vention also designated September as will-making month as a means of encouraging building of en dowments for Southwide denomi national causes and institutions. Information about long - range needs of Baptist institutions and causes, and how they may be met with gifts or bequests in wills, can be obtained from pas tors or .the Foundation office in Columbia.
