FORGES IN $10 NORTHERN BAPYiSTS MASSING 0,000,000 DRIVE Big Sum Asked in One Movement to Fulfill Five-Year Program—Personal Service of 2,000,000 Mem- bers to Be Used to Make Huge Pledges More Effective—Education to Be Feature of , Great Activity, ‘ and Al Both in U. S. broad. 8y LUPTON WILKINSON, The 10,666 churches which constitute the Northern Baptist Convention e moving forward this spring in a program termed by their leaders one of the most significant unified advances a feur state convention headquarters are Christian body has ever made. Thirty- teeming with activity and the entire strength of the denomination i{s marshalled, ready for a task whose size may well be called staggering. It is now nine months since the as- sembled national delegates of the Werthern Baptists met in Denver and after providing entirely new and mod- ern church organization machinery set the face of 2,000,000 people toward a ‘ve year effort, necessitating expendl- tures that will total at least $100,000,- ©000. The urgency of the world situa- tlon, viewed from the Christian stand- point and made clear in detail to the convention through a 150-page item- fzed survey of the field’s needs, has worked like multiplying leaven. Thou- sands upon thousands of copies of that survey have been distributed in an- swer to individual written requests, The denominational program is known officlally as the New World Movement of Northern Baptists, It is defined as “an attempt to apply vigor- eusly the principles of Christianity to the problems confronting the world.” The shadow of many ills, the stresses and pain of humanity, struggling to give a new order birth after the cata- elysm of war has swept away old standards and safeguards, are the ba- sic urges behind the Baptist effort. The churches involved, believing the call vo service imperative and fated enly to grow larger, have decided to pledge the entire $100,000,000 Baptist fund In one financial “drive” between April 21 and May 2. My purpose here 48 mot to discuss the task involved In the ralsing of such a sum. The im- petuns of aid and co-operation from nu- merous other denominations working " tegether in the Interchurch World Movement will aid the Baptists greatly fm their money campaign, a larger one than any other denomination faces this spring. f What must interest the general pub- He in considering the huge undertak- fag are some very practical questions. Through what channels does the church hope to effect the application “of the Christian ideal and the Chris- tian machinery toward a lessening of mmrest? How clearly and wisely have the church leaders viewed the situa- tien? Do they work with u seelng vi- _slen of the tremendous ground, phys- ‘lflfly and spiritually speaking, that they must cover? How definite and concrete are their plans? i WNo one who has read the report of the Field Survey Committee of the Northern Baptist Convention can rea- sonahly doubt the earuestness with which the men behind the New World Movement are striving to be practical. The scope of the Americanization plans indicates the trend. Children in the Sunday-schools will be asked to great the children of the foreign-born ss friends. Baptist women will he ssked to cultivatc friendship as indi-| wviduals with foreign-born women. Mis- slops will be estublished In mining, manufacturing and logzing districts whkere 1he native proportion of the population is small. > Speaking of “future citizens,” the report of the committee «: 2 “We cannot honestly preach to them and teach them national ideals if we are silent while they, because they are strancers, are being exploited. It is our Christinn dufy to assist in the het- tering of factory conditions, standards of employment for women in industry, living conditions of foreigners and so- cial, educational, civic and religious opportunities for the foreign-born.” From Czecho-Slovakia, from Japan, from the heart of Mohammedan Af- rica, observers have been writing in unanimous agreement that conditions abroad are even more unsettled than in America. The belief of the church that the Christian ideal Is the one So- lution will make itself felt through an investment of practically $10,000,000 for new equipment in foreign mission fields. This will be in addition to mer- mal operating expenses. Plans include the sending out of 228 new missionary families and 176 single women mis- sionaries and the erection of 188 mis- sionary residences, 241 missionary schools, 76 dormitories, 75 church buildings, 5 industrial schools and 19 hospitals. In China, one of many mission fields, five new high schools for girls will be established. “An intelligent woman- hood is absolutely necessary for the permanent regeneration and Christlan- ization of the Orient,” says the report which led to this plan’s adoption, * One domestic trend of the New World Movement will be a steady hammering on the problem of minis- ters’ salaries. The average salary of the 8,823 ordained Baptist ministers in the United States is $1.87 a-day, or $683 a year. Only eight out of every hundred receive as much as $1,500 a year. Many amusing and appealing letters have been received since it became known that a determined educational campaign to remedy this condition is under way. Ome leitex from Peru, Ind., says: “In my opinion the greatest finan- cler of the times is uot Frank Vander- lip or J. Plerpont Morgan. The wife of the average minister has all of the great financlers of the country beaten to a standstill. If the same degree of efficient management as has prevalled in the ministerial household could be applied to our industrial and political institutlons we could successfully com- pete in the markets of the world and come off victors.” In none of the welfare features of the Baptist programn will the evange- lical note be subordinated. Dr. J. Y. Aitchison, director of the General Board of Promotion of the Northern Baptist Convention. has summed up as follows the keynete spirit of the ef- fort: “It is always neeessary to remember that neither money nor buildings nor additional workers serve to express the terms of the New World Move- ment. It is not a campaign. It is the advance of an ideal. The raising of the money and the spending of the money are incidental to the supreme task of offering Christianity like a healing bandage to the wounds of the world. “We are going forward on the theo- ry that the denomination or the church or the man who hangs back now, Is what President. Roosevelt would have called a ‘pussy-footer.” Where Chris- tianity dominates, there cannot be lust and greed and hate. Certalnly there cannot be Bolshevism.” jujéhi;m Seeks to Regain Grip Buddhist priests of Burma, after ig- poring the progress of Christian mis- sions in that country for more than a eentury, are making a vigorous effort te restore Buddhism to its old place. This is the report made by Baptist mis- gionaries in that field. The outcome of the struggle is of vital importance, as Burma has the most advanced civiliza- tien of any part of British India, and #ts influence is growing. With this in view, the General Board of Promotion of the Northern Baptist Convention believes that the working forces of Christianity should be dou- dpled, Especially is this so since, under direction of the British authorities, the missionaries sent out by the Northern Baptists are conducting 55 per cent of the educational work of the country. An indication of governmental co-oper- ation is found in the offer of the au- therities to pay half the cost of con- struction of a mew ptant for Judson College. The government, too, has se- cured a beautiful new campus outside the city of Rangoon. Schools of évery grade, from kindergarten through col- tege and seminary, are conducted by migsionaries, and educational work is particularly strong among women and giris. Some idea of the task of expansion fs shown by the fact that there are 40 races in an area as great as Texas and with a population greater than that of New York State. In spite of the work already done, the illiteracy of Burma fo estimated at 62 per cent, The needs M A A e TSN T I+ O T are taxing the ability to meet them. In their struggle to restore the pres- tige of Buddha the Occident has fur- nished Buddhist leaders with an idea. One of their most active agencies is the Young Men’s Buddhist Association, which drew its ipspiration from the Y. M. C A 4 Before 1924 it is hoped to be able to send 55 new missionary families, as well as 34 new women missionaries and four doctors to supplement the 69 mis- sionary families, 52 single women and four doctors and two nurses now in the field. j Especially is there need for greater medical service, as the present force gives medical attention to more than 10,000 persons a year, Most of these are not in the cities and centers of pop- ulation. The British Government pro- vides for work in such centers, Mis- sionaries in the field estimate that some 90 per cent of those who die in the non-Christian field suffer to the close without the attention of a doctor or nurse. ; Plans favored by the General Board of Promotion favor the use of 25 au- tomobiles in this region, estimating that the activities of the missionary can be tripled by this equipment. Construction of 25 new school build- ings to replace outgrown plants and re- lieve congestion, the establishmeat of a scheol in trades and arts and the founding of new schools for girls are reported as immediate necessities to forestall Buddhist efforts.

Mixing the Sage Tea and Sulphur recipe at home, though, is troublesome. An easier way is to get the ready-to-use preparation im- proved by the addition of other in- gredients a large bottle, at little cost, at drug stores, known as “Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound,” thus avoiding a lot’ of muss. While gray, faded hair is not sin- ful, we all desire to retain our youth- ful appearance and attractiveness. By darkening your hair with Wyeth’s Sage and Sulphur Compound, no one can tell, because it does it so nat- urally, so evenly. You just dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one small strand at a time; by morn- ing all gray hairs have disappeared. After another application or two your hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy, soft and luxuriant and you appear vears younger.
