t Kampbellgrams a
Z ' Stephen C. Campbell 1
As~I write these Kambdlgrams
lucre are three letters before me,
TJne from Greenville, one irom-Tf
f. and one from Nashville. The
.nree are commenting on movements.
,One on the struggles ol
.wo leaders who set out to lead
vheir denominations-out of the
i'og into wide extended plans ol
useful activity.
?-The^Nsrhvithr letter tells of th<
struggles of J. M. Fx*ost who lec
the movement to set in motior
the Southern Baptist Sundaj
School board. The letter says "The
creation of the board was bitterlj
fluential men and papers in the
Southern Baptist, convention. Ma.
ny believed that this humble be
ginning was doomed to ?ailure anc
defeat. Dr. Frost and those wh<
joined With him in advocating th<
establishnunt of this agency wen
more far reaching in their visior
than the prohpets of fear anc
failui-e." * 1
The letter from Greenville say!
"T dn nfit think the hrothren of thi
-date want you to quit as Cor
Scc'y- of the Convention, but. 4i
their opinion, yoTT are attempting
to cover too much territory witi
the School of Methods In fact you:
program is too far ahead of th<
most of us and you will have ti
give uo a little liine Lu atuJy it,'
The letter from N. Y says, "
have been keeping in touch witl
all the many things which yo\
are doing to raise the standard o
the church. God . speed you am
strengthen you to go far witl
voui?much needed ^ work,
months I have planned to writ
to you and say this. Your worl
, is' n pi^nn^ rff^rt ind-H'Tri?i

operation. It's a pity South Ca

However you keep putting leavei

I mighty well taken up. Let ,us skip

II Christians. ; He seemed to have
a but one truth- to drive home and
that was the living of the life ro
that men may see' Christ in us.
