Many thousands ol
women suffering Irom
womanly trouble, have
been benefited by the use
ol Cardul, the woman's
tonic, according to letters
we receive, similar to this
one from Mrs. Z. V. Spell,
olllayne, N.C. "I could
not stand on my feet, and
just suffered terribly,"
she says. "As my sul
ftring was so great, and
he had triad other reme
dies, Dr. had us
get Cardul. . . I began
improving, and II cured
me. I know, snd my

She writes turthen "I

Prohalily the most snoouraging de
velopmpnt that has come to the Bap
tist 76 Million Campaign, so tar. i the
large number of young men and women
throughout the South and Souiliwent
who have volunteered their Hen-ken
tor special Christian work wherever
God may need them. A special day
was set apart In the Baptist grhoolB
and churches tor "calling out the
called." when It was directed to no-cure-
a minimum of 6,000 volunteers
for special Christian service, this num
ber being necessary, it was held, if the
enlarged program of the cumpaign was
to be carried out. Returns from these
services are still coming In with the
prospect that the number will reach
l leant T.500.
These volunteers will enter the min
istry, go as mlssiunarles, Christian doc

advancement of the kingdom of Cod or

tleth year, looks back over au active
ministry of sixty years, practically all
of which has been spent in the vicinity
bich he Is now serving. Mr. Allison
has the unusual distinction of having
baptized 5,526 persons and at least 100
additional converts under his ministry
have been baptized by an assistant
pastor since Mr. Allison's health' has
not been good, due to his advanced
years. When this aged minister ol
the gospel presented the call for volun
teers tor special Christian service In
this campaign, three young men, all of
whom were converted and reared under
Mr. Allison's ministry, responded for
the ministry themselves, one of them
being his nephew.
But the campaign bopes to enlist a
large number of Christian workers
other than those several thousand who
will give themselves entirely to special
religious work. The campaign hopes
to enlist 2.000.000 additional pupils In
the Sunday Schools ot the South an-l
Southwest; win 2,500,000 additional
souls of this section to Christ during
the next five years; bring the Buptlst
church membership In the South to
5,5u0,0uo and enlist all these in all
forms of church work; increase the
number of Baptist churches In the
South to 40.000, and enroll 40.000 young
men and women In the denomination's
schools where they will prepare them
selves for lives of Christian usefulness
in their communities or for service In
any part of the world where they may
he needed.
While it is the hope to raise $76,000,-
000 to be ii vested in the larger pro
gram of Christian service which gave
the campaign Its name, raising the
money Is only one of the objects
sought. Baptists are being Implored to
give themselves and all of their talents
i us well as their money to Ood, Director
Scarborough announces.
the Mexican work the campaign has
appropriated $576.0n0 to It alone for
the next five years.
But the Amerlcsnlsatlon and evan
gelisation ot the foreigners Is not con
fined to Mexlcsns. This work Is car
rled on also among the newly-arrived
Immigrants at the various Southern
ports, among those of foreign birth In
the mining districts of Alabama, Okla
homa and Illinois and among other
groups of people of foreign birth In
Florida, Louisiana, Texas, Maryland
and Virginia. Some of the. state or
ganisations carry on work of their own
among these people, while tn many
Places the program Is carried out co
operatively between the state mission
hoards and the Home Mission Board.
In many Instances a large work Is
done by the latter agency alone.
Believing that' both Amerlcanliation
and evangelisation can be accomplished
moat effectively by first reaching the
hllilren, Baptist agencies have estab
lished schools where the Rr.lsh lan
guage Is taught, along with American
and Christian Ideals. Such schools
are already being conducted with great
success among the Italian and Cuban
children at Tampa, Fla., for French-
speaking children at Church Point,
1-a., for Mexican children at El Paso
and other Texas points, while commun
ity center work Is carried on exten
sively at many of these points and at
numerous towns snd mining canters
where people-of foreign birth make up
a large percentage of the population,
the social work of this character being
conducted by Baptist women,

of It. Practical Christian activities are
also required of all the students, soma
of whom are training for foreign mis

the peoples of foreign birth in this
country. Patriotism and high Ideals of
