It was born out of the sincere relijrious aspi rations of a plain pioneer people. But it has outrun the pace of the state in its j»'rowth and popula tion. wealth, and culture. It now muiibers at least 275,000 white people. This savs nothinsr of over 200,000 neerro Baptists, nothing of tens of thousands of , sympathizers with the Baptist 1 view of Christanity.

A colored preacher once preach ed on the theme "Salvation am free.’’ And,'after deliv.ering a powerful sermon, he began to take up a collection for his own salary. One of tfie deacons got up ami protested and reminded tjie preacher that h,e hgd just said that religion was free and now that be was trying to make tl.iem pay for it. The old preach er replied; "I’m sorry you makes it incumbent on me tp ’spose your ignorance before thisLr congre gation; my brother, religion am free just like water in the river am free. You can go down and drink yourself full and it don’t cost you a.cent,,but if youdias ther sr-'.nie water piped into your house, you has to pay for it. It's the same way with religion—you cap go out doors and dripk in all the religion you want, bqt when you comes in .dis chprch and has me pipe it into you? you has to pay for it. Hut something in the b.-isket,,brother; put vimething in, tjie basjiet." North Carolina as all other of^^the (.overnmeiit church, members put together. There are in this state sixty-four Baptist district associations, over two thousand and and one hun dred Baptist churches- Still the movement grows by leaps and bounds. At the presnt rate of increase by 1950 there will be in our state at leost 600,OOO white Baptists. Three fourths of the North Carolina Baptist strength is in the country. That puts on Bap tist shoulders the bulk of the ob ligation for religious leadership in the present rejuvenation of our country. It is a serious question whether they will measure up to the obligation. The commonwealth has them under test at this point. Some think that the only pe culiarity of Baptists is their mode of baptism. But their distinct iveness runs far deeper than that; baptism is only symbolic. Right of access of each soul to God, the absolute equality of all believers in Christ, the integrity and sov ereignty of eacJi local church, these are some of their _ funda mental distinctions. Their faith is the religious underpinning _ for democracy; the moral foundations of the modern republic. The Baptist people of North Carolina have already grown many great institututioiis: The Biblical Recorder, their weekly organ, is read by nearly fifty thousand people during the year. Their State I'-oard of Missions handles annually about $150,000.- 00. Besides several private schools controlled by Baptists, they have three great colleges '•Yake Forest, Meredith, Chowan, and fourteen Secondary Schools. The Thomasville Orphanage, the pet . among their • enterprises, is the largest institution of its class in North Carolina and easily one of the largest in all the South. There are thousands of Bap tists in Yancey county; and Bap tist churches dot every township in the county. The Baptists of Yancey and adjoining counties will rejoice, to see these facts published in their county paper. The Baptsts of North Carolina count as one of their most valua ble assets the faiendship of the Eagle which is read by hundreds of Baptist people who do not see Biblical Recorder. The next session of the Baptist State Convention meets in Eliza beth City on December 5th. Be fore that time there is be a strug gle among the active Baptists of North Carolina. This year_ thei' are raising $20,000 for Christian Education, 850,000 for the_ Or phanage, $150,000 for Missions. North Carolina Baptists are speeding this year in State Nhs- sions aione, that is in mission work right here in our own state, $55,000, This work is vitally important to the moral, educa tional, civic life of our whole commonwealth. Here religion and patriotism meet in the Baptist ■ soul. What each Baptist does for this cause shows him both as a Christian and as a citizen, This $55,000 is all to be raised by No vember 21st. Let every Baptist church of the county of Yancey do his part in this task. Let no Baptist church of the county fail to take it up in dead earnest, WALTER N. JOHNSON.
