BAPTIST NEWS LETTER Dr. Walter N. Johnson, secretary of the Steward League of Baptist Min isters, is giving us each evening of this week at 7:30 o’clock, a very in spiring series of lectures on Chris tian Stewardship. He will be with us through Friday night. Those who heard him go away saying, “we have never heard it on this wise before.’’ Indeed, Dr. Johnson is a modern ex ponent of original Christianity. He is a thinker of thinkers and a true prophet of his day. His message is all inclusive of the Christian life and activity. The relative position of per sonality and things is so clearly seen in his messages that the least of us can well understand. When Christian stewardship permeates all Christen dom there will be no problem of empty pews, church debts and even evolution.
