In Address Before Missionary Commit
tees of City .'Churches- Last Night
Great Leader in Work Pointed Out
Above Fact The Need of Missionary
Committees in Churches Missionary
Education the Subject For Tonight-r-,
Considerable interest in the Follow Up
Work.
Ia his address before the pastors of
the city and the members of the mis
ionary committees of the several
churches last night Mr. J. Campbell
"White, general secretary of the Lay
men's Movement, said that finances are
not the thing most needed in missionary
work, but it i the giver that is needed,
the personal worker, for when the per
sonal workers are secured the financial
problem will solve itself. Dr. White
also pointed out the fact that the se
curing of a gift from a person will have
a tendency to cause him to study some
what about the object to which his gift
is to be applied and gradually he will
increase his gift and at the same time
give more and more of his life to the
work.
More than one hundred members of
the missionary committees of the several
churches have enrolled for the confer
ence and the interest last night was
most profound. A number of the min
isters and laymen took" paH" in tn dis
cussion and the session was quite help
ful to all. This, Dr. White explained, is
the first of the follow up conferences to
be held in each of the seventy-five cities
in which Laymen's Conferences were
held last winter and spring. The first
conference was held in Greensboro, he
said, because of the great success of
the Laymen's Conference held last
winter and the leaders felt sure
that many valuable suggestions could
be obtained here for use in other cities.
It was deemed advisable, he said, to
concentrate the work as much as possi
ble and for this reason only those of
each church on which the responsibility
of the mission work of the several
churches rest are invited to the con
ferences. Then two conferences for pas
tor only will be held. The problem in
the Laymen's Missionary work is not
to start the movement, but to keep it
going and increasing in magnitude all
the time. We did not start the Lay
men's Movement with the idea that the
work could be soon completed. It is a
life job, he said. '
This afternoon at 3:30 o'clock the
second pastor's conference will be held
and the final conference for pastors and
laymen will be held .tonight at 7:30
o"cloik. The subject for tonight will
be Missionary Education. The meetings
are heing held in the Sunday school
room of the First Baptist church.
The meeting last night was called to
order by Mr. A. M. Scales, the stirring
hymn "Onward Christian Soldiers" being
Ming. Judge X. L. Eure led in prayer
and "Rock of Ages" was sung. Mr.
Scales then turned the meeting over to
Mr. White, who first explained the ob
ject of the meeting. He then announced
that the subject for discussion would be
Missionary finances. Before entering
upon the discussion he gave some of the
reasons for having a missionary com
mittee in a church, which were as fol
lows: It divides and locates responsibility.
Tt enlists lay activity.
It reinforces the pastjbrs efforts.
It challenges the study of missions.
It provides great opportunities for
service.
It reaches the membership individual
ly. It stimulates the spiritual life.
The speaker here called for the report
from the city churches to ascertain
what the missionary committees had
been doing since the Laymen's Confer
ence. The l.-al committee had sent letters
to each of the city lurches askingfor
information as to the results Of the Lay
men's Conf erence last ' winter ' and the
following tabulated Veport was read be-
or? the conference, " several " of the
churches havil

cent; Episcopal (1) 301 resident mem
bers. 169 regular givers to foreign mis

The report showed vthat Westminster
Presbvterian church had sent two dele
gates to the general conference at Chi
cago and one representative to - the
World's Conference in Edinburg. It also
pointed out that West Market Street
Methodist church had been exceedingly
active and aggressive in the missionary
work, two. of her young people giving
themselves to foreign work.
This report was discussed at length
by Dr. White. He stated that while it
i showed up remarkably well there were
still two thousand church members in
the city who were not giving to mis
sions. He stated that if the facts were
boiled down it would show that a ma
jority of the regular givers were mem
bers of the Sunday school and missionary
societies and that but comparatively few
laymen were subscribers. It i9 these we
need to get, he said. Then followed a
number of talks by different pastors
and laymen, in which some of the re
sults of the conference last winter were
brought out. This proved quite inter
esting. Dr. White then pointed out the fact
that men are what are. needed most in
missionary work and that the financial
part is of secondary importance. If the
men are enlisted in the work then we
need have no fear as to the financial
side of the matter, he said. He dwelt
upon the importance of systematic giv
ing and declared that heads of families
should not give to church and mission
work for the entire family: that each
member should irive for himself. A man
can just as well pray for each member
of his family as he can give for each
member, he said, for it is not the
amount given so much as it is the edu
cating of one to give regularly and sys
tematically. This is especially essential
regarding children. The speaker then
called on Mr. C. H. Pratt, district secre
tary of the Laymen's Movement to show
why one should give regularly.
Mr. Pratt asked for some of the rea
sons why one should give weekly and
some of the answers were; because it's
scriptural, it keeps it constantly before
the members, more productive, causes
regular attendance at church, enables
missionary work to be carried on with
out waiting until the end of the year
forthe money to be forthcoming. Some
of Mr. Pratt's reasons were: Because
it's ' scriptural, educational, fair, pro
motes prayer, enlists larger membership,
makes it easy to give more, provides
constant support without -borrowing, in
creases other offerings. These reasons
were discussed at length.
Mr.. Willis'K. Htchkiss, Friends' Mis
sionary, to Afr;ow15 was one of the
speakers atv''t'v&ijmen's Conference,
was present andjiJfe'.was called upon to
make a short talk. He said that the
whole purpose of the church was to carry
the gospel into all regions and to bring
the world to Christ; that when this had
been accomplished the mission of the
church was fulfilled. He urged the ne
cessity of the ministers keeping the
idea of the world4 enterprise be
