BAPTISTS TRYING T0 RAISE BIG FUND Rev. R. Maplesden Explains It to Local Congregation Voicing the mewer conception of the mission of the Christian church. “To establish a civilization, Christian n spirit and in passion, throughout the world,” Rev. R Maplesden of Suffield, Conn., explained some of the outstanding features of the New World Movement of Northern Bap- tists to an interested audience at the First Baptist church last evening. Mr. Maplesden came as a represeh- tative of the general board of pro- motion, to which has been entrusted the promotional work of the denomi- nation and whose immediate objective is the raising of $100,000,000 between April 25 and Ma for the accom- plishment of the five year program of the Northern Baptists, involving the greatest forward movement, both at home and abroad, that the denomi- nation has yet undertaken. . Home Mission Program Hig lecture dealt with the home mission program and did not include the extensive work which is planned abroad in evangelistic social, eduea- tional. medical iines throughout the non-Christian world, nor did he take up the rcconstructive activities of the church in the European ficld TPor those who had imagined that thete was little need for mission worlks in the Western hemisphere some the lecturer’s statements came as startlir revs tion.

The speaker pointed out beautiful building known as Grace Conway Institute where stu- dents at the Insular University at Rio Piedras receive their Christian training, and also the Baptist hos- pital for young women that has re- cently been opened at that point. At Santa Ana, EI Salvador, the Suptist missionaries are carrying on school' work among the children and are planning normal and theological schools for the training of native workers. At Managua, Nicaragua, such schools are already established. Work Done in Mexico. The lecturer also touched upon the work that is being done in Mexico and Cuba and said that the new pro- gram of the Baptists calls for a million and a half dollars for en- larged equipment in Latin America and a proportionate increase teachers and missianaries The problem of reaching the lion Latin-Americans in the United States proper, and giving them the Americanizing influences of a free church and English schools has by no means been fully solved, the lecturer said, but great progress has made in the last decade. He sketched with skill some of the efforts that the church is making in the lumber country of the Northwest. Cities are suffering on account of the lack of adequaic wholesome re- ligious and social life. For example at Powers, Oregon, thc Baptists have provided a community center, along the lines of the Y.

Work Among Indians. In outlining the proposals for the pxtension of missionary effort among the American Indians the lecturer that 60 per cent of the Indians were slill utterly uncvanzel ized and that but 20 per cent are members of Protestant churches. To furnish the Indians with cducated leaders of their own race the Bap- tists maintain Bacone college in Ok- lahoma wherc all the buildings are overcrowded and where the students represent 16 tribes. Half a million dollars is needed there for additional buildings, teachers and endowment. The work among the negroes by ports several schools and race in the South is to be “If the North is to con- tinue to reccive thousands of these people” said the speaker. “We shall be deeply concerned as to whether or not they have had any cducation. He summarized the five year pro- gram of the church for negro edu- cation by nts, $825,000 for ncw build- ings, $175.000 for repairs and equip- ment, $866,000 for salaries. Educational Items. The lar; gram for the extension of the work of the Baptist church, the speaker said, was the one for general edu- cation in Baptist schools and colleges. There are some forty institutions of this character provided for in the recent survey and their combined re- $28,000,000. Another new and important phase of the work of the church s the Americanization of the coming Am- ericans. The Baptists already are co-operating with other agencies in this endeavor, developing training schools, establishing community cen- est single item in the pro- ters and providing new missionarijes | to minister to the foreign speaking clements of the population. English classes, baby clinies, day nurseries manual training classes, classes citizenship, gymnasiums are only a half dozen of the score or more ac- tivities that the church is already en- gaged in along this line. merica for Chri the speak- er concluded. ‘is not a big enouzh ideal for home missions. = It must be ‘America for Christ and .

G. M. Missirian Rev. G. M. Missirian, pastor of the | Stanley Memorial church, preached upon the glory of a commonplace ex- | istence at the morning service yvester- day, holding forth the lives f tho sreatest biblical characters as su and lamenting the fact that in t rush of the present-day world t commonplace liver is sometim s spurned. He said: “In the mad rush of our worli's every-day life, a great mass of the | people are swiftly becoming blind to ihe vital significance and glory of t! commonplace. The gigantic progress in industrial and social activities and never-ending series of new orzani tions with an ever-inclusive nature have dazzled the eyes of many men. | and women. And we are coming to the stage of forgetting that the great- est and most enduring influences and movements of the world have had commonplace origin. Men who have* shaped the destiny of the human rac at various periods of history, generally | speaking, were not persons of glamor and majesty, nor movements of ima mense number or wealth, but men of simple and common origin and move- ments which were of humble and in- significant beginning. “Look back and observe the cominz | of Jesus into this world. As the'great | f mass of humanity, whom he came to inspire and uplift. live obscure and bumdrum lives. He himself chose an | humble sphere and thus sanctitied and | glorified the commonplace life. Wa ! think of those three years of His lustrious and most useful service and | ministry and forget the 30 prepara- tory years of obscurity., Our Lorl not only laid aside His heavenly hon- ors, but even as a man humbled him- self and became obedient. And was ever a life so glorified? “The noble Christian life is not ne- cessarily one of heroic deeds, but one animated by the spirit of devotion—a | life of commonplace duties done and burdens borne for the glory of God. Tt is the spirit that glorifies the task no matter how ordinary and humble ! that task may be. It is sweet pa- | tience or loving zeal that you put into your work that makes your life a bane or a blessing. “Morecover, without the common- place the illustrious is impossible. Be- fore the great mogul engine is the sooty, common foundry; below the I deck of the battleship, the zrimv. sweaty stoker: back of and beneatn cvery great enterprisc are many hum- ble auxiliaries, unrecognized by man, | but used and honored by God. o ave glimpses at least of Mo rs in Midian: of Samuel's scr Shilol John the Daptist in "‘kv ert: of Jesus in the carpente shop. and of Paul's three vears Arabia. “It is the commonplace people and things that often God uses to accom- plish great results. Only a rod in Moses' hand—buat it smote Esvpt, divided the Red Sea, opened the roclk and gave vietory to God's people Only a sling and common pebblo— but they laid low the impious giant | and turned the tide of the battlc. Only a little boy with his lunch of five barley cakes and two small fishes —but they fed a hungry multitude. | | Only a poor cobbler pegging and | preaching—but as he hammers tho | into his shoes he hammers tho | onary idea into the church. The | result is the world-wide mission societies. “The world is indebted for Moody | to an humble, ordinary Sunday school | teacher: a mother accomplishes her great life's mission in training a Moses, a Samuel, an Augustine, a Lather, a Wesley and a Lincoln. “Today the great difficulty is fo convince {he average man or woman of the high calling and the glory of the commonplace tasks. Today we have larger factories and enormous | plants of industry, but there not adequate appreciation of common labor. Most of the people tod provided with more good things and | conveniences, but there is not the ap- preciation and happy contentment No, my friends. Do not disdain * look down upon the commonplace. | { Tt is the vital and most enduring truth in the backbone of the human race. | Cheer up.

POLK STEPS OUT. i | res to per- | Your Bodyguard Against v SPALMOD G T rom 3 CRou~ .NFLAI\,}M:TI‘:SLM S Crpimey o, N o SAEENSagme o PANY A Jar of Vicks is Protection Against Colds More than a score of years ago, a drug- gist in a little North Carolina town was searching for a better way to treat colds. He knew that epicac and internal medi- cines did not go direct to the lungs and air passages, and often did derange the digestion. At last he found a process by which he could combine standard, time-tested remedies in salve form, so that when the salye was applied over the throat and chest the ingredients would be vaporized by the body heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath, carried the medication direct to the lungs and air passages. At the same time the salve was absorbed through and stimu- lated the $kin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion. This preparation was named Vicks VapoRub, and year by year its use has steadily grown until now more than 17 million jars are used annually. Vicks is a Real “Little Bodyguard” to Old and Young For mothers with small children Vicks is 2 boon indeed. No dosing— just apply well over the throat and chest at the first sign of ‘“‘sniffles,”” and cover with a hot flannel cloth. Leave the covering loose around the neck so the wvapors arising may be freely inhaled. An application at bed time usually pre- vents a night attack of spasmodic croup.
