BAPTIST CONVENTION , TO MEET IN MEMPHIS ; Boards in North Carolina Putting Forth | Extraordinary Efforts to Kearh (ioals. i Raleigh. April 15. —Tlie Southern Baptist C'onvention will meet in Mem phis. Tenn.. beginning Wednesday. May 15th, continuing through Monday, May 18th. The book* of the tiifferent board* of this convention will close April 50th. Between now and that time the Bap tists of North Carolina and of the South will be putting forth an extraordinary effort to meet their financial goal. It will be necessary for the Baptists of this state to raise approximately $200,000 within the next two weeks if they attain the objective set by them selves, every cent of which will be need ed to meet the outstanding obligations on the various denominational enter prises included in their 1025 program. Secretary Charles E. Maddry is opti mistic over the situation. He believes this gigantic task can be done by the 3404)U0 Baptist church member* in this state, and he believe* that there are enough faithful, loyal members who will put this program over in a glorious fashion by the end of this month. The books of Treasurer Walter* Dur ham, of, this eity. show that something like $92,000 has been reported to him since the first of this year. As com pared with former years this i* a good showing. Most of the contributions are always sent in during the last two weeks before the books close, much of it the la. day. It wa* feared that a serious rea«\ tion would follow the close of the 70 million campaign, the last of last year. At first it seemed that this fear would be justified, blit there lias been a marked change in the attitude of the people thrvMighmit the state within the la*-t few weeks, and it is now believed that the Baptist* of this state will raise quote as much, if not more, money this year as they did last year. With good busi ness prospects and a fine crop outlook, the situation i* regarded very hopeful. Next Sunday, April 19th. will be ob served generally in all the 28,000 Baptist churches throughout the South, it is hoped, as a day for gleaning offerings from each individual member for the uni fied program, which include* state, borne and foreign missions, Christian educa tion, old ministers’ relief and hospitals. “Worthy offering from <wery member" is the slogan.
