THE WORK ON FOREIGN PIEL09
SHOWS LARGE EXPANSION
FROM FORWARD MOVEMENT
NEW COUNTRIES ENTERED
Southern Forces Now Have Mission
$ ,ry Fields on Every Side of.
Globe With Audience of
800,000,000.;
DR. J. F. LOVE, "
Sec. Foreign Mission Board
Indicating the extent to which the
foreign mission work of the Southern
Baptist Convention has been set for
ward by the larger proceeds that have
come to it from the Baptist 75 Million
Campaign, Dr. J. F. Love, secretary of
the Foreign Mission Board, reports
that since 1919, when the Campaign
was projected, the following increases
in the work of that board have been
made: Number of foreign mission-
arles on the field has increased fromk,,.,, wkh a ,ikene's of the pHnce
328 to 540, number of native work
ers from 627 to 2,820, number of
churches from 505 to 891, number of
church members from 49,659 to
103,328, number of self-supporting
churches from 143 to 211, number of
baptism per year from 6,635 to 12,611,
number of Sunday schools from 760
to 1,447, number of Sunday school
pupils from 36,115 to 67,407, 'number
of day schools from 512 to 796, number
of pupils in day schools from 15,722
to 32r789, and contributions per year
,vfrom $173,372 to $437,568.
Baptisms Gain Rapidly '
Nearly' as many persons have been
baptized by the missionaries on the
foreign fields since the Campaign be
gan' as had been baptized during all
the seventy-five years of missionary
operations prior to the inception of
this movement, Dr. Love reports. This
does not include Russia, where more
than one million members have come
, into the Baptist churches in recent
years. Nearly one-fourth as many
persons were baptized on theforeign
fields last year as there were mem
bers, all told, on the foreign field3'
when the Campaign began.
At the time the Campaign began
Southern Baptists wore operating only
In MexlcB, Brazil, Argentina, Chile,
Uruguay, China, Japan, Africa and
Jtlay.' As a result of the larger pro
ceeds made avatfble from the Cam
paign the board has b?en enabled to
enter the new fields of Spain, Jugo
Slavia, Hungary, Roumania, and Rus
sia in Europe, and Palestine and Si
beria in Asia.' This gives to Southern
Baptists a total missionary audience
of 900.000.0CO, or more than .one-half
the total population of the globe, '.
Older Fields Ra-Enforced
. - But of moro significance than the
entry into these new fields is the re
inforcement that has come to the
Work in the older fields, in the esti
mation of the officials of the Foreign
Mission Board. This reinforcement
consists not only ia sending out many
new workers but providing largei
equipment in the way of church
, houses, .mlssicr residences, schools),
hospitals, orphangos, publishing houses
and the like. Summarizing the growth
that has come in the forces on the
older fields since the Campaign began
the following results are pointed out:
Number of churches, 76 increase;
number of church members, 108 in
crease; number , of church buildings,
45 Increase; number of schools,
3 increase; number of pupils, 108
increase; number of residences for
. . missionaries, 94 Increase; number
of foreign missionaries, 63 increase;
number of native missionaries, 264
Increase; number of hospital build
ings, 21 increase; number of treat-
meats given, 61 increase; number of
hospital beds, 104 increase.
Much Remains To Be Done
. With all the increases" that have
come io the foreign mlHgiou work onjv
a portion of the program that was con
templated for foreign misslonsas a
result of the Campaign has been ac
complished as yet. It Is in the hope
Of comploting this program through
more effectively equipping the wor'
and, workers on both the older fields
and the new ones that, the represent
atives of the Foreign Mission Board
are cooperating with those of, the 75
Million Campaign in an effort to com
plete the payments of all subscription!
to this movement at thia time.
New Half -Dollar Issue
Greeted With Protests
Claimed That William and Coligny
Were Not Concerned With
New York Founding.
Atlanta, Ga., March 26. Street car
conductors', in Atlanta, bank clerks
and all other mortals whose unen
viable lot it is to' handle that medium
of exchange described in the Bible
as the root of. all evil, are hjereby
forewarned that within a few days
somebody may present a half dollar
on which there will be not a trace of
the American eagle nor the curly
head of the maid of liberty
There are 500.C0O such half dollars
in circulation now, and it would not
be surprising if some of them floated
down sou'th. It is also not unlikely
that the appearance of such coins
may be the reason of some disagree
able consequences. It docs not re
quire the imagination of a Balzac or
O'Henry to picture oneself , in. alter
cation with one of the uniformed
giants in charge of the Georgia Rail
way and Power Company's chariots
see the car come .to' a' stop; witness
the approach of a policeman and to
picture oneself before a federal
judge answering to a charge of coun
forfeiting. K .'
Let it be known tnen to all and
sundry who foster hopes' of having
jingle in their pockets within the
next few weeks such a portion of xfk
nation's aggregate wealth commonly
known as a half dollar, that the gov
ernment of the United States in its
infinite wisdom has caused to be is
sued one-half million dollars' worth
of shining new half dollars on which
will appear the words: "Nieu Neth
of Orange on one side and Admiral
de Coligny ofrthe reverse
The occasion fdr the issue of these
coins' is the forthcoming celebration
of the tercentenary of the founding
of New York City by Dutch and Wal
loon families in the seventeenth
century.
By placing on the coins the effigies
of William the" Silent and Admiral de
Coligny, the government of America
honors the memory of the two out
standing leaders "of Calvinism, who
pqth died by the hands of assassin:
while leading the forces of Pfote.s
tantism against the power of media
eval Spain and the intrigues of Cath
erine de Medici.
Opposition is developing in New
i ork. and other cities against the
placing of these' particular figuers on
the coins, however. And basing an
inquiry upon unbiased historical rec
oras me opposition does not seem
V'hoivt .ground.
vviiltam the Silent was born in 15.5.1
lie; was murdered , at Delft, br. Bal
thazar Gerards in 1.584, an assassin
in the pay of King Phillip II, of Spain
During his tenancy of the staliolder-
sliii) oi Holland, the. Dutch province
started-' their . war - of independence
and were -within sight of victory
when the great scion of the house of
Orange paid for his devotion to the
cause or lrecuom ot religion am
liberal thought, with 'his life. ' But
William ot Orange had nothing to do
villi "the founding-of Nieu Amster
dam on Manhattan island bv the 40
Dutch 'families.-' , He may have been
their -great hero, whose memory they
venerated above all others. They may
have viewed him in 'the light of tho,se
later generations of Hollanders,, who
crpctcd in the city of the Hague a
statue to W imam, Prince of Orange
a "father of his. fatherland," but he
had been dead 42 years when the
D.utch came to what is now known
?s New' York. '
It is also true .that . among the first
settlers were some. Huguenot's. -Hol
land, was the -great refuge place fof
the. Huguenots, after, the blood v.. mas
sacre in- France . of the majority, o
their fellow religionists on the eve.o
St. bartholdmcw in 1572. But the
admiral had neither anvthin;? to. do
with the founding of New .'York, -and
the Dutch, not the French strain was
predominant among the settlors, else
we may. be certain that the new town
would have been called: New . Paris
and not Nieu Amsterdam.
There are many peopls'- who would
like to have seen the jovial counte
nance of Peter Sfuyvesant, "the ruler
of the Dutch," or .Henrik Hudson
with his half moon crest pictured on
rive new coins. But the director of
the United States mint probably had
his reasons, and a3 he. has promised
ah explanation, we may well wait the
result of t this ,' interesting, historical
dispute
In the meantime: "Forewarned is
still forea'rmed." And don't call the
baker or the iceman a counterfeiter
if he happens to include one of these
new half dollars in the change. At

Jersey Poultryman Reaps Prac
tical Benefit From Modern
Luxuries for His Chicks.
Comfort for the hens! And, al
though they probably don't realize !t.
an Inducement to scratch harder, ex-,
rcise more, lay a larger number of
KSaJn the dull season of the year.
Thia Is what has been accomplished
on the Maplewood Poultry Farm of
Henry M. Reeve, at Maplewood, N. J.,
by the use of electric lights and steam
heat in the hen house. The hen house

arly spring brooding period. This
prevents the newly hatched chicks
from catching cold before they have
begun to approach maturity.,
Mr. Reeve does nbt contend that'
by using electric lights the egg yield
of each hen is Increased pe'r year, al
though this may be the case, but he
does find that the egg yield is more
evenly . distributed throughout the
year, so that at no season is he short
of eggs. The lights are turned on
beginning about October 1 and are
continued every evening until about
me miaaie or Marcn.
He keeps the hens on a regular
twelve hour schedule by means of the
electric lights. Whatever period of
time the natural day lacks of being
twelve hours he makes up with the
eleclric lights. If there are only ten
hours of natural light he turns on the
electric lights for two hours. If day
light lasts eleven hours, then he turns
on the lights for one hour,-
The effect of the lights, he has
found, is apparently to shorten the
moulting period of the hens and thus
prolong the-egg laying period. Chick
ens which would ordinarily be in a
heavy moult by October 1 have con
tinued laviner ecas through December

Before making use of olectric lights
Mr. Reeve estimated his egg yield on
January l of each year as about 33 13
per cent. With the aid of electric
lights he estimates that his egg yield
on November 1 Is now about 40 per
cent, which continues throughout the
winter season, whea normalppduc
tion would be low. If the egg yield
In the summer remains normal, he se
cures a certain increase in produc
tion for the year and also a steady
rate of production, the egg yield in
the winter, tending to approach that
of the summer. ',
