PAGE EIGHT MILLION BAPTISMS HAD BY BAPTISTS New Evangelistic Record for Nation for Five Years Set Up in Soath. WOULD DEVELOP MEMBERS Effort to Enlist Entfre Constit uency of 3,500,000 in Regular Giving Plan ned Soon. More than one million new mem* fcers have been received into the Baptist churches of the South by baptism alone during the past five years, according to a survey by Dr. E. P. Alldredge, statistical secretary of the Southern Baptist Convention. The exact figures, 1,037,550 baptism*, DR. CLLIS A. FULLER, Superintendent of Evangelism. tet a new record not only for South ern Baptists, but for any evangelical body in America, the records reveal, j This achievement is equivalent to 24 baptisms for every hour, 576 for every day, 3,990 per week, 17,292 per month and 207,510 per year. Prominent in the achievement of this result has been the Home Mis sion Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, with headquarters in Atlanta, Ga. This board, organized ! eighty years ago has, within that time, more than a million baptisms and 1,426.386 additions to the churches to show for the labors of its missionaries, while the agents of the board have within that period raised and disbursed in mission work in the South, Panama and Cuba the •urn of $18,213,336.10. Last 22 Years Productive The larger part of these achieve ments of the Home Board has come during the past 22 years, cov ering the secretaryship of Dr. B. D. Gray. Under Dr. Gray’s administra tion the workers of the board have baptized 662,497 persons, received 1,- 122,344 persons into the churches and organized 4,997 new churches. Within the same period the agents of the board have raised and dis bursed in mission work the sum of $14,723,595.87. The evangelistic department of the Home Mission Board has been its greatest single evangelistic asset. This department has been without an active head recently, but the board has just called to that posi tion Dr. Ellis A. Fuller of Green ▼file, S. C., and he entered upon his work October 1. He is a young man of college and seminary train ing and has been unusually succes ful in soul winning and other phases of work as a pastor. Southern Baptists have been far more successful in winning converts and church members than they have been in the general spiritual develop ment of the members, it is pointed out In the hope of bringing about a development of the 3,574,531 mem bers ol the denomination to the point where all of them will have a share in supporting all the mission ary, educational and benevolent work fostered by the denomination, an Every Member Canvass will be con ducted in a majority of the 27,000 Baptist churches throughout the South, during the late fall and win ter, the majority of the states em ploying ihe week of Dec. 6-13. Would Enlist Every Member The canvass will be conducted un der the general auspices of the Co operative Program, which is foster ing state, home and foreign missions, the Baptist schools, hospitals and orphanages, and the work of minis terial relief. The ideal toward which the commission is striving is that of every member, giving every week to every cause in proportion to his ability, through his local church. As fully as possible Individual Baptists are being urged to give* a tenth of | their income to Christian work. So extensively have the various missionary and benevolent enter prises fostered by Southern Baptists grown in recent years that it now requires a minimum of $12,000,000 per year to keep the work growing. Each state is being asked to pro vide its proportionate share of this amount. The state boards, in turn, are asking the respective associa tions in their states to accept defi nite quotas for 1926, and the associa tions, in turn, are asking the local churches to assume a definite pro portion of the asaociational objective for the year. FIND CLIMATE HAS EFFECT ON SUICIDE German Investigators Make Statistical Surve«y. Berlin—One of the most remarkable statistical surveys ever made, devoted to all phases of the subject of suicide, was made public here. The survey em braces all of Europe and is char acteristically exhaustive and detailed. The German investigators establish scientifically that climate and suicide are mathematically related —that coun tries with variable climate produce the most suicides, and that these coun tries are found between 47 and 57 de grees east longitude and 20 and 34 de | grees north latitude, which embraces I central Europe. There are more suicides in flat coun j try than in mountainous. For cen j tral Europe, May and June are the most productive of self-destruction and the favorite days are Monday and Tuesday for men and Sunday for women. One-third of the suicides are I committed at night, the rest in the forenoon and afternoon, with a very few in the early hours of the morning. Twice as many Protestants In Eu rope ended their lives as did Catho lics. Among the Jews suicide Is on the increase, especially among those who are not orthodox, for in eastern Europe, among the pious Jews, practi cally no suicides at all are reported. Four men commit suicide in Ger many for every woman, hut more wom en between the of twenty and thirty kill themselves than men. Di vorce plays a big role in suicide in the relch, for there are ten men divorced who commit suicide to one married man, and five divorced women to one married woman. It is established that women prefer ' drowning as a means of death, while men evince no marked partiality for 1 any particular method. The investigators insist that the ! movies influence suicides. They ana | lyzed 250 pictures and found there , were 97 murders, 51 divorces, 19 rapes, 45 suicides and 170 thefts. The investigators conclude from this that the movies have a harmful effect on those predisposed to self-destruction. Germany has the highest record for ' child suicide, ten boys under sixteen ■ and three girls for every million pop ulation. while France has three boy« and one girl for the same number. HER FEET PERFECT t-J:<£4: '■ In a coniest Just closed m Chicago, after having inspected several thou sands of feminine feet, judges have awarded the prize to Leah Metzraaker, shown in photograph, for feet which are 100 per cent perfect. Tests Prove Heat Lowers Pupils’ Ability to Work Erlvan. —Science has come to the aid of the man who does not want to work in hot weather. Experiments carried out by the Near East Relief among 15,000 children in its orphan age school and workshops here prove that mental and physical efficiency are seriously lowered when temperature rises above 73 degrees. The experiments covered summer \ temperatures ranging from 65 degrees to 90 degrees Fahrenheit. Maximum efficiency in classroom or workship is secured under temperatures of 67 to 73 degrees. The -human machine’s ability to work effectively decreases rapidly as the temperature rises above 73. At a temperature of 90 degrees the number of mistakes increases by 62 per cent. — 9 Oldest Leg of Mutton Waits Owner 55 Years Bourne, England.— What is regarded as the oldest mutton leg in the country may be seen in a glass case of a butch er's shop here. Fifty-five years ago a man called at the shop and ordered the mutton, paying for it. He re marked that he would call back and get it. He never did, but the mutton jg waiting for him. U. D. C.
