SOUTHERN BAPTISTS SHOWING PROGRESS Rapid Growth Is Foreseen in Both Numbers and Denom- ination’s Achievements. One of the surest indlcations of the rapid growth that is coming to Southern Baptists {n both numbers and achieve- ments is afforded in the development that has come in the work of the Bap- tist Sunday School Board during the incumbency of Dr. L J. s corresponding secretary. Dr. Van Ness has now been identified with the board for 25 years, and tak- ng advantage of this fact, his friends are preparing a celebration of that an- niversary which will take place in Nashville January 1. Prior to becom- ing corresponding secretary, follow- ing the death of Dr. J. M. Frost, Dr. Van Ness spent more than 16 years as _editorial secretary of the board. TWhen Dr. Frost submitted his last an- nual report to the Southern Baptist convention In 1916, he was able to re- t total receipts for the year of $452.- . while Dr. Van Ness was able to report this year receipts of $1,424,808. Contrasting other items in the two re- ports as indicative of the growth that as coms In the work of the board and to Southern Baptists gencrally in tha time, it is shown the annual glfts the board to general denominm- tional work have increascd from $11 10 to $314.306, the net resources of t board from $613,408 to $1,366,820, the teacher tralning awarde for Years D to 1915 of 41,000 to 64,415 for 1924 ne; the number of the organized sses from 1.909 to 7,538 and the en- rollment from 52,418 to 30! of Sunday schools from 1 ollment of 1,760,802 to 20,601 with an arollment of 3,38 number of hurhes from 24,451 with a membership 685,562 to 27,093 with a membership 1{ 3,484,189; number of baptisms at the ands of Southern Baptist churches per ~ar from 168,285 to 195,864; value of al church property from 358,319,638 to ,121,096; contributions to local church bjects from $9,564.222 to $35,045,818; nad contributions to missions and be- cvolences from $1,699,445 to $9,393,617.

Golden text—"He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father."— John, xiv.9. Our studies for the past quarter have traced the life of Christ from the calling of the twelve to the conver- sion of Zaccheus. for the focusing of our thought upon the great central period of our Lord's ministry, which was devoted pri- murily to the training of the apostles for their mission. He appointed them £0 that they might be with Him. The Master had a genius for friendship. He had formed the strongest ties of love with some of the leaders, but when He decided to form the college of the apostles there not one from Jerusalem among those whom He called to sharo the privileges of His Instruction and enjoy the intimac of His friendship. It is evident from our studies that Jesus depended upon their catching His loving epirit, with which to win the world, Four of our lessons were chosen from the gospel of John, which was written that men might belleve in the deity of Jesus and through faith in Him possess eternal life. He sought to present the per- sonality of the Lord, whom John, with the other apostles, had learned to know in the genuine human fellow- ship which they enjoyed during their daily relations with Him. They had }all ‘sorts of chances to see Jesus. { They had witnessed Him in privation, poverty, popularity and peril. Pos- El ing every opportunity to see any ible weakness in Christ's charac- {ter, they found Him living a life free from sin and devoted to the serv- ice of humanity. It was not until jafter at least two vears of disciple- }ship that they came to mea in His | personality the evidence of His deity, which Peter confessed for the apostles when Jesus desired to know their view of Him. Master, Methods, Measage. Having exercised the authority of & ruler in calling the twelve to be with Him, the Mastcr revealed the principles of the Kingdom of God in his inaugural address upon the mountainside. In our study of the great masterplece of homi- letical literature we considered that portion of the Sermon on the Mount that treated of prayer. We observed how Jesus put God first in the peti- tions that had reference to God's honor and glory; ail the opening ones per- {tained to Him, His kingdom and His will. In the last three Jesus emphi {sized the needs of Hie followers, who !w: re taught to pray, not only for the | glory and honor of God, but to ask Him for aid in meeting their needs, | debts and temptations. It was not until after they had followed Jesus for about two years that the disciples who had been appointed aposties suspected the deity of the Master. Peter con- feseed Him to be the Son of God, and John in our Christmas lesson told us of the mystery of Jehovah's greatness, grace and generosity revealed by the “Word" becoming flesh. The transfig- uration confirmed Peter's confession of taith. The Master's power was dus to His {Deart. “Out of the abundance of tho {heart the mouth speaket! In sim- EPISCOPAL.

Back of every decla- ration was Himself. It was His “verily, verily, I say unto you" that revealed His radical difference In method from those of His day. While it 1s true that “a lving faith needed no special methods,” yet it was dur- ing this central period that Jesus adopted the method of parabolical teaching. He used them in outlin- ing the principles of Christian life and labor. In the sower, which is the only parable that He named and interpreted, Jesus taught the twelve the difficulties of winning men. He pointed out that the results of preaching were due to the character and attitude of those hearing. The other two parables that we studied have been called the twin peaks of a lofty mountain range. In the one on the prodigal son, which outlined the Father's love for the lost, He de- fended Himself against the charge of His enemies and justified His offorts to save the lost. In the para- ble of the good Samaritan He taught us how we should be ltke God In our dealings with humanity. He extended the boundaries of neighborhood to take in all mankind by removing the limitations of race, nationality and religion. While Jesus was constantly widening the views and ideas of the apostles in His efforts to fit them to extend the rule of God throughout the world by His unique methods and messages of God's love, Hé was at- tracting men by His purity, philan- thropy and purpose.

The manifestation of the Lord's power forced the apostles to con- sider “what manner of man” He was by His waves, disease and death. authority over wind &nd| aone, The four | i miracles that we considered indicated | something of the power that Jesus| manifested disciples. and trfal were not to be considered | as evidences of God's hostility, but a: hours for Him to reveal His pow to help, ald and assist them.

In the healing of the man born blind they saw not only the power of Christ per- forming in a public manner a miracle that testified to His power, but they also learned, as we all must, the cost of following Christ. While the dis- ciples were called upon to help en- lighten the world they were warned by the trials of the blind man of perils that they would be called upon to face by testifying for the Lord. In the raising of Lazarus Jesus not only lifted a vell that hid the future, but He demonstrated that death did not end all, He showed his sym- pathy with those who mourn and proved that He was the Master over death by calling Lazarus back to live anew his life {n the body. It served with the experlence at the transfigu- ration to fit them for a life of suf- fering and sacrifice, as they knew that no matter what trials they would be called upon to face, they would be certain to see their Master face to face after they had crossed the sea which separates time from eternity, In the conversion of Zaocheus they witnessed the transforming power of Christ's gospel. They saw another evidonce of its working power, just as they had during their missionary journeys in the period of the Mas- ter's popularity, due to His healing, miracles and ministry of speech and service, The perlod of the Lord's withdrawal from the centers of popu- lation (where for a time it looked as though He would arouse the Galllean mountaineers to such an extent that the movement to make Jesus King would sweep over the nation and re- sult in His entbronement), had given Jesus opportunity to complete the training of the 12 so that they were prepared for the rapldly ap- proaching crisis.
