Okla.. May 18-22, for the annual meeting of the Southern Baptist Convention ? expected to be the largest religious gathering in America in 1949. The Rev. J. Alton Morris, pas tor of the Murphy Baptist Church, said the 26.822 churches cooperat ing with the Convention have a total membership of 6 491.981. The number i includes 312.246 new con verts baptized into the churches in 1948. The Convention at Oklahoma City will hear reports of the many agencies supported by it both in this country and in foreign mis sion areas, and will plan for future activity. Mr. Morris said. Evange lism and mission expansion are stated for primary emphasis in the years just ahead. Day sessions of t lie Convention will be held in Oklahoma City's ('.500-seat. Municipal auditorium and all night and Sunday sessions will be held in Tatft Stadium, seat ing 20.000 people. A youth revi val service led by Texas college students Saturday night and an evangelistic service Sunday night are expected to climax the sessions. The Southern Baptist Convention is one of the most uniquely organized groups in the world The Convention is constituted ol' Mes sengers" rather than "delegates" from the churches, in that no one carries authority to bind his cong regation back home to the deci sions of the Convention. The denominational program is purely one of cooperation. with its evangelistic, educational, and bene volent activities planned in ac cordance with New Tesitament teachiing and the churches left free to cooperate or noi cooperate as they choose. That the churches do choose to cooperate is evidenced by the fact that their gifts to the Convention's worldwide program totalled $8. 865.000 in 1947. Colleges, semi naries. hospitals, benevolent insti tutions and mission work in a score of countries bear testimony to their united work in fulfilling the Great Commission. The following Baptists from Cherokee county expect to attend the Convention Mr. Morris and the Rev. and Mis T. Earl Ogg of Andrews. ?
