SUCCESSFUL YEAR HAD BY BAPTISTS Convention at Houston Heard Many Gratifying Reports on Work. Evolution Denounced. $9,000,000 GOAL IS SET Following an unusually good rec ord in the work of the local churches and large achievements on the mis sion fields, there has just been held at Houston, Texas, one of the most successful sessions of the Southern Baptist Convention in recent years. The session was marked by unusual unity, definiteness of purpose and determination to carry forward the work of the Co-operative Program. gssslSljs»Era DR. GEO. W. McDANIEL President Southern Baptist Con vention. Following the re-election of Dr. George W. McDaniel, Richmond, Va., as president, he sounded in his inau gural address a conviction on tho theory of evolution that was prompt ly and unanimously adopted by the Convention as its own sentiment. Dr. McDaniel said: "I am happy to believe that this Convention accepts Genesis as teach ing that man was the special crea tion of God and rejects every theory, evolution or other, which teache* that man originated in, or came by way of, a lower animal ancestry." With the evolution question dis posed of, the Convention was able to proceed with a consideration of its great missionary and benevolent enterprises. Here are some of the outstanding developments of the Convention: GOAL OF $9,000:000 SET UP 1. In the hope of enabling the mission boards and other agencies of the Convention to take care of their indebtedness gradually without having *to too greatly curtail their present work, an objective of $9,000,- 000 for missions, education and be nevolences was set up for 1927, on recommendation of the Co-operative Program Commission. This money will be applied to foreign, home and state missions, Baptist schools, orphanages and hospitals and minis terial relief, thus taking care of both the state and Southwide Bap tist work. It is hoped the South wide portion of the budget will amount to at least $4,000,000. 2. An effort will be made to en list 500,000 tithers during the next year. 3. The Foreign Mission Board reported 13,269 baptisms on its fields during the year, a gain of about 1,000 over the previous year. The board has 1,215 churches on the for eign fields with 140,488 members, 3,247 out-atations where preaching services are held from time to time, and 528 missionkries pnd 2,644 na tive Christian workers employed ia 17 countries. 4. Among the results for the year reported by the Home Mission Board were 833 missionaries employed, 19,744 baptisms, 35,226 additions to the churches, 100 new churches and 458 Sunday schools organized, and 402 church houses built or improved. DENOMINATION GREW DURING YEAR 5. The Sunday School Board re ported total business receipts for the year of $ 1,710,471. Of this amount $380,344 was put back into the gen eral work of the denomination. A to tal of 89,038 awards in teacher training were jnade, 403 churches were aided by the Architectural De partment in drawing plans for new houses of worship, the number of standard Sunday schools reached 546. With the gains for the past year the main figures of the denomina tion are now given by the statistical secretary of the Convention as fol lows; 26,467 churches, 19,908 or dained ministers, 3,649,330 church members, 21,760 Sunday schools wkh 2,681,828 pupils, 20,965 church houses, 3,197 pastors' homes, $165,- 909,278 invested in local church property $30,771,574 contributed to local church objects, $8,255,436 to missions and benevolences and $39,- 027,099 to all purposes during the past year. The time is now ripe v for a dis tinct Baptist advance all along the line and especially in a support of the great missionary and benevolent enterprises fostered by the Co operative Program, the Convention Waders believe. SUBSCfttSE FOR THE COURIER AVONDALE NEWS Avondale, June 14. —Mr. and Mrs. Raleigh Haynes and Miss Mary Jenkins, were dinner guests of Mr. and Mrs. R. E. Haynes, Sunday. Mr. William Allhands, of Cliffside, visited Mr. Albert Thomas, here Sat urday. Miss Frances Haynes left Saturday to spend several weeks with rela tives in Lynchburg, Va. Miss Essie Ledford and Mr. Thomas Wall motored to Henderson ville, Saturday. Messrs. Carl Blanton and Roy Corn of Spindale, visited in Avon dale Sunday night. Misses Mary Jenkins, Margaret Haynes and Messrs. Howard Haw kins and Owen Padgett, took a motor trip Sunday afternoon. They were on the Marion road, and as they did not know the roads very well, were unable to escape a large bump which caused Miss Haynes to cut her head on the top of the car. They took her at once to the Rutherford ton Hospital. She was not seriously hurt, although it was necessary to take three stitches. Everyone wishes for her a speedy recovery. HENS PAY WELL FOR SUMMER CARE Raleigh, June 14. —With profits in creasing from poultry in North Caro lina, it will pay to take good care of the producing hens this summer. "It is poor economy to neglect the hens during the rush of summer work," says A. G. Olliver, poultry extension specialist for State Col lege. "When the hens are neglected profits are reduced. Less grain is needed under range conditions, but plenty of mash should be supplied in the hoppers. Under average farm conditions where the hens have free range and production is decreasing, less of the scratch grain and more of the mash should be fed. This will force the birds to eat more mash and thereby stimulate egg production. Mash consumption must be encour aged to get high egg production. The mash is composed of whole grains finely ground and is more easily di gested." Mr. Oliver suggests that the hens be given equal parts of cracked corn, wheat and oats by weight as a sci'atch grain. If wheat is not available, one-third corn and two-thirds oats should be fed. For the average farm flock a mash made of equal parts of wheat bran, wheat middlings, corn meal, ground oats and fish meal is good and this should be kept be fore the hens, in a dry place, at all times. Feeding is one of the most im portant factors in securing eggs from the farm flock during summer. The hens may be kept laying and molt ing delayed by either increasing the amount of mash feed or by increas ing the protein without increasing the amount of mash. If a flock of birds can be selected which does not stop laying until October or No vember, the chicks from these eggs will have a marked effect on the egg production of next season's flock, states Mr. Oliver. Early molters, on the other hand, will produce early molting chicks which work short hours and eat as much as the heavy producers. TEXTILE SHOP OPENS AT CHIMNEY ROCK Among the many objects of attrac tion ;: T f •jimuey Roc't !» ihe texiii shop, which was opened to the pub lic Tuesday morning, and in which are displayed the various textile pro ducts of Rutherford county.
