They Jeave their cars in the road, in order to get near the resort, instead of going some distance away. The matter is further complicated by the heavy street car traffic and the railroad loop.

NEW ORLEANS, May 10.—Viewing as a grave problem the inadequate con- tributions for missions, the Southern Baptist Convention will convene in New Orleans next Wednesday to inspire greater zeal toward offerings, discuss | constitutional changes, and seek ald the church press. Official reports to the convention covering the 13 years intervening since New Orleans last entertained the Bap- tists show a decided gain in contribu- ticns for missions and benevolences, ‘but declare they are wholly inadequate to meet the needs of evangelism. Only two losses are shown in the cnusca during the 13-year span. Six hundred churches have vanished from the horizon largely in the rural seoc- tions due to te exodus of the farmer to the city, and 19 schools and colleges have been lost because of discontinu- ance of mountain mission schools fos- tered for a number of years by the Home Mission Board with headquarters in Atlanta. These losses, the reports showed, cover only the physical side of life, as the membership of the church has shown a h!ullhy increase.
