YOUR LORD’S COMMAND 
 
 “Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, 
 Baptizing them in the Name of the Father 
 And of the Son and of the Holy Spirit; 
 Teaching them to observe all things 
 Whatsoever I have commanded you: and lo, 
 I am with you all the days, 
 
 Even unto the end of the ages.” 
 
 -—Matthew 28:19-20. 
 
FOREWORD 
 
 W E ASSUME that you acknowledge the supremacy of 
 Jesus Christ in your life and purposes. “In him is life 
 and the life is the light of men. And the Light shineth in 
 darkness.” We cannot wonder at the marvelous plans and 
 purposes of the Infinite Creator but we marvel at the great 
 honor he has conferred upon us in making us “workers to¬ 
 gether with him” in the greatest scheme of all the ages. 
 
 Realizing that there is a sincere desire, upon the part of many 
 who recognize the duty and privilege of stewardship of life and 
 means, to administer God’s bounty as his Holy Spirit directs, 
 this little booklet of suggestions has been prepared to aid such 
 in arriving at a wise and beneficent decision. 
 
 Surely within its pages you will find an open door of privilege 
 that will appeal to your heart’s desire to lay upon His altar an 
 offering worthy of your love and appreciation. “The love of 
 Christ constraineth us.” 
 
 Here are deserving objects of prayer. We urge your sincere 
 and persistent offering of intercession. God alone can measure 
 its value and efficacy. 
 
 The Master today sits over against the treasury of your life. 
 His kind and tender face is turned toward you. He is concerned 
 to know what response you are making to his appeal for help to 
 bring in the Kingdom. 
 
 “The princes offered willingly. And they with whom pre¬ 
 cious stones were found gave them to the treasure of the house 
 of Jehovah.” 
 
HIS PLAN 
 
 S OMEBODY has supposed the scene that he thinks may 
 have taken place after Jesus went back to heaven. 
 The Master is walking with Gabriel, talking intently, earnestly. 
 Gabriel is saying: “Master, you died for the whole world down 
 there, did you not ? ” “Yes.” “You must have suffered much, ’ ’ 
 with an earnest look into that great face. “Yes,” again comes 
 the answer in a wondrous voice, very quiet but strangely full of 
 deepest feeling. “And do they all know about it?” “Oh, no; 
 only a few in Palestine know about it so far.” “Well, Master, 
 what is your plan ? What have you done about telling the world 
 that you have died for them? What is your plan?” 
 
 “Well,” the Master is supposed to answer, “I asked Peter 
 and James and John, and little Scotch Andrew, and some more 
 of them down there, just to make it'the business of their lives 
 to tell others, and the others others, and yet others, and still 
 others, until the last man in the farthest circle has heard the 
 story, and has felt the thrilling and the thralling power of it.” 
 
 And Gabriel knows us folks down here pretty well. He has 
 had more than one contact with the earth. He knows the kind 
 of stuff in us. And he is supposed to answer, with a sort of 
 hesitating reluctance, as though he could see difficulties in the 
 working of the plan, “Yes—but—suppose Peter fails. Suppose 
 after a while John simply does not tell others. Suppose their 
 descendants, their successors away off in the first edge of the 
 twentieth century, get so busy about things— some of them proper 
 enough, some of them may not be so proper—that they do not 
 tell others, what then ? ” And his eyes are big with the intenseness 
 of his thought, for he is thinking of the suffering, and he is 
 thinking, too, of the difference to the man who hasn’t been 
 told,—“What then?” 
 
 And back comes that quiet, wondrous voice of Jesus. 
 “Gabriel, I haven’t made any other plans, — I’m counting on 
 them.” — S. D. Gordon. 
 
The PRINCES OFFERED WILLINGLY 
 
 A BIT OF HISTORY 
 
 4T the session of the Northern Baptist Convention in Denver in 1919 
 the New World Movement of Northern Baptists was inaugurated. 
 
 A. This Movement was the crystallization of a purpose on the part of 
 those who were present to respond to the challenge of the new hour 
 and to send the gospel of Christ to the ends of the earth. The purpose 
 expressed itself in a determination to raise within a period of five years 
 not less than One Hundred Million Dollars for the spread of the gospel 
 throughout the world. 
 
 During the first twelve months this New World Movement has 
 .achieved a remarkable success. Northern Baptists have paid or have 
 pledged for missionary and educational work not less than $51,929,- 
 920. In addition to this a few individual Baptists have paid to three 
 of our national boards $12,300,000. These latter all accrue to the ad¬ 
 vancement of the work of these boards but by special request of the don¬ 
 ors they do not count on the Hundred Million Dollar Fund. This still 
 leaves, therefore, $48,070,080 yet to be raised to complete the full fund. 
 Toward this $48,070,080, however, we have pledges of $3,000,000, one 
 million and a half available when we have reached $62,500,000 and an¬ 
 other million and a half when we have reached $87,500,000. In order 
 to insure the full success of our objective, therefore, there still remain 
 for us to raise $45,000,000. The success already achieved stimulates 
 our faith and assurance that God approves our purpose. 
 
 Two states have already exceeded their allotment, Arizona and North 
 Dakota. The other states have had varying degrees of success in 
 securing the apportionments that have been made to them. Reports 
 are very slow in coming in, but so far we know that 1,760 churches have 
 reached or exceeded their apportionments. Reports indicate also that 
 about 4,553 churches out of a total of 8,821 entered actively into the 
 campaign. 
 
 The most important and significant results, however, have not been 
 the financial but the spiritual. As a result of their efforts to give to the 
 full measure of their ability for the spread of the gospel, many churches 
 experienced most marked spiritual quickening, showing the close rela¬ 
 tion between these two phases of the Christian life. Many a church has 
 experienced the fulfilment of the promise, “Bring ye the whole tithe 
 into the storehouse and I will pour you out a blessing that there shall 
 not be room enough to receive it.” 
 
 Some most interesting stories have come to hand of the experiences 
 of these churches. Only two or three can be cited. 
 
 One church in Wisconsin oversubscribed its allotment the first night 
 of the campaign, owing to the enthusiasm of the pastor and the loyal 
 support of the people. The results upon the life of the church are re¬ 
 vealed in the statements of two prominent business men. An attorney 
 said: “The actual raising of the money quota was a splendid thing in 
 itself, but was not as encouraging as the spirit which manifested itself. 
 There existed such a united and universal spirit of devotion to the church 
 that many marveled. It was really a revelation of the power of faith 
 when coupled with work.” An importer in this church said: “Aside 
 from the financial returns, the New World Moverfient was well worth 
 
 
 5 
 
the effort, for old workers were developed and new ones discovered, 
 and new people became interested in the church/’ 
 
 A church in Pennsylvania had become very much interested in the 
 campaign and was following out each step of the Standard Plan of 
 action, when just before the pledges were to be taken their house 
 of worship was burned to the ground. They immediately set about 
 raising the funds for the new church but they did not permit them¬ 
 selves to become absorbed in this project of their own. In May they 
 made their canvass for the New World Movement and pledged their full 
 quota of $10,000. 
 
 Another church with a quota of about $35,000 thought it could not . 
 be raised. The first day the full allotment was subscribed. The pastor 
 of this church said: “We have the answer to the following objections: 
 First, ‘Our quota is too big’; (a) not when we take it to God, (b) not 
 when we tabulate the earnings of the congregation. Second, ‘ The peo¬ 
 ple object to pledging’; in this church less than one and a half per cent, 
 objected. Third, ‘They won’t pledge for four years;’ less than half of 
 one per cent, refused. Fourth, ‘Even if subscribed, it won’t be paid’; 
 the first Sunday in this church the contribution to missionary enter¬ 
 prises was more than in the whole twelve months previous. Fifth, ‘A 
 financial drive kills the spiritual life of a church ’; on this same Sunday, 
 with the money came twenty-nine new members to the church, sixteen 
 by baptism, and the whole church felt a revival spirit.” 
 
 “ The challenge is so great that we are driven to God to fulfil it, and 
 this makes for spirituality.” 
 
 There can be no question that there are blessings undreamed of for 
 hundreds of our churches when they shall have fulfilled this law of spir¬ 
 itual life. The surest way to insure a great revival of religion in America 
 is to fulfil this simple law of life. “The princes offered willingly * * * 
 Then the people rejoiced. And the king also rejoiced with great joy.” 
 
 THE SURVEY 
 
 The New World Movement is based upon the survey of our Baptist 
 missionary and educational work made by the Committee on Survey 
 and presented to the Northern Baptist Convention at Denver. This 
 volume of one hundred and fifty pages tells the story of what American 
 Baptists have accomplished in the century of their missionary work. 
 
 It reveals the present situation of our missionary and educational work, 
 the opportunities that are awaiting us and the calls that are being made 
 upon us. It also outlines the work which imperatively needs to be 
 undertaken during these five years. 
 
 Over 200,000 copies of this Survey have been distributed, helping 
 very largely in creating the enlightened enthusiasm of last year in the 
 New World Movement. This book is mailed without charge to any 
 one who will ask for it. It should be studied in connection with this 
 booklet as it will throw interesting light upon the fields and oppor¬ 
 tunities suggested here. Write to your State Director of Promotion, 
 or The General Board of Promotion, 276 Fifth Avenue, New York, and 
 as many copies as you wish will be sent you free and postpaid. 
 
 SPECIFIC OBJECTS OF INTEREST 
 
 The New World Movement is a denominational program born of a 
 sincere desire to respond in a worthy manner to the command of our 
 
 6 
 
Lord to give his gospel to all peoples. That should be the supreme 
 purpose of the Church of Christ. The petition “Thy Kingdom come” 
 should always hold first place in our individual prayers and lives. 
 
 The plans of the New World Movement for 1920 called for a united 
 appeal for all the interests represented in that great movement. There 
 are many people, however, who have become more or less interested in 
 some hospital or school or mission station. They may know some 
 consecrated missionary or teacher or physician who is giving his life 
 to the Kingdom. And they desire to follow their personal interest 
 and their prayers with their gifts. We desire to assist those who 
 have this attitude toward the work of the Kingdom, and to aid them 
 in a more careful study of the world’s needs and to a more intimate 
 knowledge of some of the interesting phases of our work this booklet 
 is published. 
 
 Here are numerous opportunities to give expression to your desire to 
 do a worthy piece of work and to make it possible for your life and 
 influence to go on down through the centuries. 
 
 Surely somewhere within these pages you will find your God-given 
 opportunity to kindle your light that may shine, to send a messenger of 
 healing or to be an evangelist, by proxy, or to serve twenty-four hours 
 each day by having a representative on the other side of the world who 
 will be in action while you sleep. 
 
 God knows. He knows your ability. He is wondering if you will be 
 true to Him in this great needy hour of his old world. 
 
 We shall be glad to furnish further information about any of the 
 objects. 
 
 In selecting any item in these lists as the object towards which he 
 wishes to make his subscription, it is very important that the subscriber 
 communicate with The General Board of Promotion, Special Gifts 
 Department, 276 Fifth Avenue, New York City, to make certain that 
 provision for that particular object has not already been made by some 
 other subscriber, as selections from these lists are being constantly 
 made. Immediately upon receiving definite subscriptions for any of 
 these objects, the Special Gifts Department will notify the organization 
 concerned in order that on the basis of such subscriptions plans may be 
 made for carrying out the work. 
 
 We regret that we cannot extend the privilege of designation to gifts 
 that have been made previously, as arrangements have already been 
 made for their distribution and the work authorized. 
 
 It should be understood that all these special gifts when made for 
 any object listed in this booklet or any other object within the budget 
 will count upon the One Hundred Million Dollar Fund. 
 
 SOME SPECIAL GIFTS 
 
 The Survey presented at Denver indicated some very interesting 
 and important projects which we had in mind in connection with our 
 missionary and educational work around the world. Provision for some 
 of these projects has already been made. 
 
 The Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board desired to increase 
 its permanent funds to $10,000,000 in order that it might begin 
 the payment of pensions to our ministers. Since the Denver Conven¬ 
 tion it has received $4,000,000, which brings its funds up to $6,000,000. 
 On the expectation of further additions from the campaign it has already 
 
 7 
 
inaugurated its pension system and pensions are now available for all 
 Baptist workers. 
 
 The American Baptist Home Mission Society and the American 
 Baptist Foreign Mission Society have each received an addition of 
 $4,000,000 to their permanent funds, thus assuring a substantial 
 increase in their income. 
 
 The Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society has received 
 several notable gifts: 
 
 Africa —Woman’s mission bungalow, Vanga: Jubilee gift of the 
 Rocky Mountain District. 
 
 Assam —Hospital for women and children, Gauhati: Jubilee gift of 
 West Central District. 
 
 Gale Memorial Bible Training School for Women, given by Mrs. 
 Gale in memory of her husband, the late Col. C. W. Gale. 
 
 Burma —Kemendine assembly hall and dormitory, Rangoon: Jubilee 
 gift from New York District. 
 
 Caroline A. Benton Hostel for Girls, Judson College, Rangoon: 
 Memorial gift from Mrs. M. Grant Edmands and daughters.

 Jubilee gift of South Pacific District. 
 
 South India —Hospital for women and children, Mahbubnagar: 
 Jubilee gift of New England District. 
 
 Japan —Christian Neighborhood House, Osaka: Jubilee gift of North¬ 
 west District. 
 
 Shirk Kindergarten Building, Kobe: Given by Mrs. Milton Shirk 
 in memory of her son. 
 
 The Home Mission Society has received a gift of $50,000 for Bacone 
 College in Oklahoma. 
 
 Other friends have made specific gifts of $20,000 and $50,000 for 
 Indian work. 
 
 The General Education Board has also contributed $80,000 for 
 Bacone College for Indians. 
 
 Many of our colleges and schools are receiving specific gifts toward 
 endowment funds and buildings. Here are splendid opportunities to 
 provide a memorial for a father, mother, wife or child by giving 
 greatly needed buildings for some of our schools at home and abroad.

THE INVESTMENT OF LIFE 
 
 The program cannot be carried out without a great investment of 
 life. Money will not carry the gospel, it will only carry the messengers. 
 But the program has not failed of its appeal to many of our finest young 
 people. 
 
 The Survey called for the appointment of 228 missionary families 
 and 176 women missionaries for the foreign field alone within the five 
 years. Already 92 new missionaries have been appointed. 
 
 RELIEF WORK IN EUROPE 
 
 I N JULY of this present year a conference was held in the city 
 of London by representatives of the Baptists of the United 
 States and Europe. Northern Baptists were represented by 
 Secretary James H. Franklin, President Emory W. Hunt, Rev. 
 A. T. Fowler, Mornay Williams and Secretary Charles A. 
 Brooks. At this conference detailed information was given 
 of the suffering of the Baptist people of Eastern Europe owing 
 to the conditions which have grown out of the war. The 
 personal investigation of Dr. Brooks revealed the fact that 
 millions of people are destitute and on the threshold of 
 starvation. The conference determined that the Baptists of 
 Europe and of America ought to provide at least $1,000,000 
 during the next three years for the relief of these people and 
 that one-half of this ought to come from America. There has 
 therefore been included in the budget of the HundredMillion 
 Dollar Fund the sum of $500,000. Surely this need will appeal 
 to the hearts of thousands of American Baptists who will 
 appreciate the suffering of their brethren across the seas. 
 Many of them were our comrades in arms, all of them are our 
 brethren in the faith. By the generous response to this appeal 
 we shall add years to the lives of many starving children and 
 give renewal of life to those who have represented our faith in 
 this trying period. 
 
 It is impossible at present to give definite figures regarding 
 needs in the devastated regions of Northern France, but already 
 it is evident that at least six new Baptist church buildings will 
 be required at a cost of perhaps $10,000 to $25,000 each. The 
 Baptists in the devastated regions will not be able in the near 
 future to contribute any large sum for the restoration of their 
 ruined houses of worship. They will look to American Baptists 
 for relief in the hour of their great need. 
 
 This work will be administered by the American Baptist 
 Foreign Mission Society, which has for many years maintained 
 missionary work in Europe. The new situation has created 
 many new demands on that troubled continent.

THE STATE CONVENTIONS AND CITY 
 MISSION SOCIETIES 
 
 The first section of this book deals with the work of the State Con¬ 
 ventions and City Mission Societies. There are 35 State Conventions 
 affiliating with the Northern Baptist Convention and 11 Standard City 
 Mission Societies. The outstanding needs of these various organiza¬ 
 tions are described briefly in the following pages. 
 
 Maine 
 
 A missionary pastor evangelist in each of 17 associations to care for 
 and stimulate rural churches. $34,000 needed for salaries, of which half 
 would be raised on the field. This need is acute. 
 
 A university pastor at the University of Maine. 
 
 A special appropriation of $1,000 a year to strengthen the work on 
 Mt. Desert Island, where Bar Harbor is located. 
 
 New Hampshire 
 
 The religious problem in New Hampshire is largely a rural problem. 
 Population is widely scattered and many villages are being depleted. 
 This means, in scores of places, that if religious services are to be con¬ 
 tinued, missionary funds must be available. This demands $10,000 
 per year. 
 
 Colporters and missionaries must visit sparsely settled districts. 
 Cost, $7,800 per year. 
 
 The Swedish churches in Concord and Manchester require mission¬ 
 ary funds. $1,800 per year. 
 
 Massachusetts 
 
 The pressing needs are for large development of work among the New 
 Americans, who are becoming an increasingly important factor in the 
 life of a state where in several cities the foreign born are 90 per cent, 
 of the population. Only a few of many pressing needs are mentioned. 
 
 Lawrence. The Italian mission has been one of the most successful 
 in America. Thousands have heard the gospel and large numbers have 
 responded. The mission rooms are crowded and not large enough for 
 many who would come. Larger quarters are imperative if the work is 
 to prosper as it may. $25,000 would provide a suitable building. 
 
 Worcester. The Italian mission should be housed in a community 
 house. The two stores occupied at present are inadequate for the diver¬ 
 sified work. $95,000 would secure the new building. New buildings 
 are also needed for the French and Finnish missions. 
 
 Springfield. A small building is needed in the midst of the Italian 
 colony for the Baptists. Services now have to be held at a long dis¬ 
 tance and it is difficult to draw the people so far. A modest provision 
 could be made for $12,000. 
 
 Cambridge. The Portuguese have taken initiative in securing quar¬ 
 ters for their mission. They are very poor and dingy. $20,000 should 
 
 10 
 
be made available for permanent quarters for these people, who are 
 ready to help themselves. 
 
 Boston. The old Baptist Bethel was originally established as a haven 
 for sailors. It still has a large ministry to these people, but in addition 
 is a center for an important work among the Italians of the North End. 
 $15,000 per year is needed to maintain this work. 
 
 The Massachusetts Convention needs to make investments in church 
 buildings at 16 different points, the amounts varying from $1,500 to 
 $15,000. These are all strategic points in growing centers. Names of 
 localities can be secured at the Boston office of the Convention. 
 
 Rhode Island 
 
 Providence has two Italian chapels. Neither building is adequate. 
 Both must be torn down and replaced; at Marietta Street with a church 
 and social building, at Dean Street with a community center. Amount 
 needed, $20,000. 
 
 Connecticut 
 
 The outstanding needs of the Connecticut Convention are specific 
 gifts for church edifice work. The following list includes the more im¬ 
 portant: 
 
 West Haven. $8,000 
 
 New Haven, Grand Av... 5,000 
 
 West Hartford. 10,000 
 
 Torrington, Calvary. 5,000 
 
 Danbury (Negro). 5,000 
 
 Hartford, Blue Hills. $5,000 
 
 Willimantic. 5,000 
 
 New Haven, Olivet. 5,000 
 
 Hartford, Olivet. 5,000 
 
 Ocean Park Assembly.... 5,000 
 
 The Convention has agreed to put $2,500 a year into Suffield 
 Academy and needs specific gifts to meet the arrangement. 
 
 A colporter missionary at $1,500 a year. 
 
 New York 
 
 New York City 
 
 The needs of the City of New York are too great and too complex 
 to be put into words and no statement is adequate to portray their im¬ 
 portance. We can present only a few of the outstanding demands: 
 
 Fordham Italian Church. Built on the ashes of two American 
 churches, each compelled to move because of adverse environment. 
 $10,000 is needed to remodel the building now badly out of repair and to 
 provide for social and educational facilities. This church was allotted 
 $1,700 for the New World Movement and pledged over $5,000. 
 
 Central Park Church. In the heart of the middle East Side, being 
 built up from “churchless masses”; has more than 100 vigorous young 
 people in attendance. Their contributions for current expenses in¬ 
 creased from $800 to $2,500 in two years. $50,000 is needed to mod¬ 
 ernize an old country meeting house in the heart of a great city. 
 
 Second Avenue Church. This single building houses six churches 
 and missions—English, Polish, Italian, Esthonian, Russian, Chinese. 
 It is a cosmopolitan melting pot. $5,000 needed for improvements 
 and renovation. 
 
 11 
 
Czechoslovak Church. Is homeless, being forced out of its rented 
 quarters. A church building of another denomination has been pur¬ 
 chased, but $5,000 is needed at once to put it into shape. 
 
 Mariners’ Temple is way downtown. It is a mother of churches: 
 Swedish, Norwegian, Italian, Russian. It is the headquarters of Bap¬ 
 tist rescue work for homeless men. The building needs complete re¬ 
 modeling. $50,000 will do it. 
 
 Chinese Community House. Needed in the heart of Chinatown, 
 which is without a church building or settlement of any kind. $50,000 
 will provide a center for the religious, educational and social needs of 
 these strangers within our gates. 
 
 Harlem is said to be the “thinking spot” of the Negro race in Amer¬ 
 ica. At least it is the center of an immense Negro population. A 
 center for educational and social work is needed to supplement the 
 activities of the churches. $50,000 would stimulate the Negroes to 
 raise $100,000 for themselves. 
 
 Brooklyn Negro Churches also need a Center to supplement their 
 meager equipment. $50,000 would be an inducement here also. 
 
 Strong Place Church was one of the great churches of Brooklyn. It 
 has a new neighborhood now which needs a different kind of ministry. 
 Its magnificent Gothic building should be attached to a new community 
 house, where work of social reconstruction could be carried on. This 
 will require at least $100,000, but it will bring a rich harvest. 
 
 $100 per month will provide a woman missionary for a needy section 
 of New York. 
 
 $150 per month will pay the salary of another pastor to the New 
 Americans. 
 
 $75 per month will help a student in New York to pay for his educa¬ 
 tion and at the same time enable him to secure a valuable experience 
 in missionary work. 
 
 There are kindergartens, day nurseries and social centers to be main¬ 
 tained. 
 
 Buffalo 
 
 The needs of the Buffalo City Mission Society are primarily the mod¬ 
 ernization of old church buildings to meet the needs of the new popula¬ 
 tion and the erection of some Christian community houses where the 
 friendly spirit of Christianity may find expression. 
 
 One of these Christian centers is required at Niagara and Virginia 
 Streets. $48,000 is needed at this point, but the task can be divided 
 up as follows: $5,000 will remodel the present old buildings; $30,000 
 will provide the new building; $3,000 will furnish it; and $10,000 will 
 maintain it for the next four years. 
 
 At Virginia and Tenth Streets $16,500 will purchase a building al¬ 
 ready erected and $1,500 will put it in condition for use. 
 
 Buffalo has one of the few missions for Hebrews under Baptist con¬ 
 trol. The mission has already given promise of success, but to insure 
 this a house must be provided at a cost of $12,000. 
 
 ✓ 
 
 12 
 
The City Mission Society must invest at least $122,000 in other 
 church and mission property. The list is as follows: 
 
 North Park. $25,000 
 
 Delevan Avenue (social equipment). 12,500 
 
 Hedstrom Memorial (relocated). 18,000 
 
 South Park. 15,000 
 
 Cazenovia (rebuilt) .•.. 12,500 
 
 Riverside (relocated). 15,000 
 
 Edison Street (social equipment) . 5,000 
 
 Russian and Polish Church. 5,000 
 
 Hungarian Church (social equipment). 15,000 
 
 The Society needs $2,200 a year for the salaries of an evangelist 
 and his helper. The same amount would provide for two needed 
 neighborhood visitors. 
 
 New Jersey 
 
 The needs for missionary work in New Jersey are accumulating so 
 rapidly that it is almost impossible to make a selection for specific men¬ 
 tion. We enumerate a few only. Located between the two great 
 cities of New York and Philadelphia, New Jersey has had a most phe¬ 
 nomenal industrial growth during the past few years. The religious 
 development is not keeping pace with the industrial. 
 
 Yorkship is one of the war towns, built to accommodate workmen 
 in one of the great shipyards. There were 1,800 homes built, of stone 
 and brick, in less than two years. There are only four churches: Bap¬ 
 tist, Episcopal, Lutheran, Catholic. The Convention must put 
 $25,000 into the church building. 
 
 Bogota is a new town for some of the overflow from New York. 
 Many new homes building. No church except Lutheran. Many Bap¬ 
 tist families there. Convention must help build church and invest 
 $29,000. 
 
 Irvington is a suburb of Newark to which Baptists are moving from 
 the city constantly. There is only one Baptist church and this is in 
 need of an adequate building. The Convention needs $5,000 to pur¬ 
 chase a lot. 
 
 Union Hill church is badly located for the important ministry 
 which it should render in a large district. It has not sufficient re¬ 
 sources of its own to make the needed change. The Convention de¬ 
 sires to help to the extent of $25,000. 
 
 Three churches in New Jersey are so located that with the proper 
 equipment they could be the religious centers for large populations. 
 Roadstown and Cherryville are rural churches in prosperous farming dis¬ 
 tricts. They are the only churches in their parishes. Leonardo is an 
 old church in a growing town on the seaboard where many people are 
 moving out. The Convention feels the necessity of putting $10,000 
 into Cherryville and $15,000 into Roadstown and into Leonardo. 
 
 No statement of New Jersey needs would be adequate which did 
 not include the exten ive field among the New Americans. New Jer¬ 
 sey is filled with these strangers. The Hungarian work is to the front 
 just now. Four churches are greatly in need of buildings: Trenton, 
 New Brunswick, Chrome and Perth Amboy. The Convention needs 
 
 13 
 
funds ranging from $5,000 to $20,000 to help these people secure 
 church homes. 
 
 Christian Community Centers are also needed for the Italians in 
 Camden, Newark and Hoboken and for the Poles, Slovaks and Rus¬ 
 sians in Newark and Jersey City. It will require about $120,000 to 
 meet all these needs. . 
 
 New Jersey industrial centers have felt the influx of the Negroes 
 who are organizing many small independent churches. A helping 
 hand will be greatly appreciated. 
 
 Delaware 
 
 The outstanding need in Delaware is the removal of a debt of $6,000 
 on the Polish church. The debt is the result of war conditions. Gen¬ 
 erous-hearted friends will surely see that this burden does not long 
 remain on this promising mission. 
 
 Pennsylvania 
 
 The Baptist interests in Pennsylvania are as varied as its diversified 
 population. One can invest small sums or large in this state and be 
 sure of results/ 
 
 $120 will help a promising boy or girl to prepare for the ministry 
 or a missionary career. 
 
 $350 will supplement the gifts of the Hungarians and provide the 
 salary of their missionary in Harrisburg. 
 
 $500 will do the same for the efficient pastor among the Poles in 
 Chester. 
 
 $600 will complete the salary of a blind missionary who is greatly 
 blessed in his ministry to the Belgians. 
 
 $500 will complete the salary of an Italian missionary who has been 
 on the same field for ten years and who has done an important and per¬ 
 manent work. 
 
 The following contributions for church buildings are sought: 
 
 $500 at Philipsburg 
 1,000 at New Albany 
 
 1,000 for the Chinese Mission in Philadelphia 
 5,000 for the Negro church at Harrisburg 
 5,000 for the East End Church at Williamsport 
 
 Philadelphia 
 
 The Philadelphia Union is fortunate in being able to purchase at 
 one-third its value a beautiful stone building for the Italian Baptist 
 Church. It would be a wonderful memorial suited to a great work, at 
 $50,000. 
 
 Like other cities, Philadelphia has found the Christian settlement 
 the door of entrance to many hearts. They want to increase these 
 effective agents. They need $100,000 to carry out their plans. 
 
 New suburbs are being opened up all around Philadelphia. The 
 Baptist Union wants to be in on the ground floor. $60,000 will pur¬ 
 chase the new lots and get the work under way. 
 
 14 
 
Pittsburg 
 
 The Pittsburg Association has three points which it wishes to stress 
 this present year: 
 
 Rankin has great steel mills. The people are prosperous and buying 
 homes, but Rankin has no library, playground, hospital, dispensary, 
 day nursery or English-speaking school for adults. The field has been 
 allocated to the Baptists. The Pittsburg Association has a finely 
 located lot and plans are drawn for a $60,000 building which will be a 
 center for the expression, under many forms, of the spirit of Christ. 
 
 Homestead is a familiar name. Homestead Park is not. This is 
 a new suburb where the steel company is building fine houses and sell¬ 
 ing them to their employees at cost. Thirty-five new families from 
 the First Church of Homestead have already moved there. The Asso¬ 
 ciation wants to plan for a strong church and needs $20,000 at once to 
 buy lots and start the building. 
 
 South Library is another new town near Pittsburg. A large mine has 
 been opened and hundreds of foreigners are coming in. There is no 
 church within three miles. This town has also been allocated to the 
 Baptists. We ought to begin work at once. $7,500 is needed im¬ 
 mediately. 
 
 Indiana 
 
 The Indiana Convention carries on a highly varied work. It has an 
 interesting list of specifics to offer. 
 
 $50 will decorate a room in one of the Community Houses. 
 
 $300 will provide the upkeep of the automobile of a District Superin¬ 
 tendent. 
 
 $600 will pay for a trained woman worker in a neglected district. 
 
 $600 will provide the Convention’s share in the salary of a missionary 
 among the Rumanians, Hungarians, or the Poles, in the Calumet dis¬ 
 trict. 
 
 $1,000 will provide Indiana’s share in the salary of a man to work 
 among boys in the community houses. 
 
 $500, in addition to what he gets from the field, will support a mission¬ 
 ary pastor in a neglected section. There is a constant demand for 
 such men. 
 
 $2,000 will buy a lot for a new church. There are at least six growing 
 cities where churches are needed in new districts. 
 
 A work of conspicuous success has been developed recently in the 
 new Community Centers of East Hammond and Indiana Harbor. The 
 value of such Christian centers of life and influence has been demon¬ 
 strated. It is now apparent that in connection with each building 
 there should be a chapel and a gymnasium. The chapels would cost 
 $12,000 each and the gymnasiums $20,000 each. They could be com¬ 
 bined at some saving. 
 
 West Virginia 
 
 The funds of the General Association of West Virginia are not at all 
 
 15 
 
adequate to meet the need in that difficult field. Some specific gifts 
 would bring rich returns. 
 
 $5,000 a year are needed in the Church Edifice Fund. 
 
 $1,000 a year will provide social work in needy districts. 
 
 $2,000 a year would enable the Association to enter some promising 
 fields. 
 
 $2,000 a year would make possible some very much needed work in 
 rural fields of which there are many in West Virginia. 
 
 Ohio 
 
 Cleveland. The important thing in Cleveland now is to provide 
 for new churches in the new residence districts. There are some splen¬ 
 did opportunities, but they have to be grasped at once or they will be 
 lost. Three churches have recently been located in the suburbs, but 
 they are all handicapped by inadequate equipment. Suitable build¬ 
 ings are a necessity. If these churches are cared for now they will be 
 centers of strength tomorrow. The members of these churches have 
 made generous contributions to the New World Movement. The 
 Lakewood Church needs $35,000; the Inwood Church $25,000 and the 
 Cleveland Heights generous aid. 
 
 Michigan 
 
 The specific needs of Michigan are primarily new and enlarged 
 church plants to care for the growing communities. We note a few 
 of the important ones. 
 
 Detroit is one of the most rapidly growing cities in the country, owing 
 to the phenomenal development of the automobile industry. It is diffi¬ 
 cult for any of the denominations to keep pace with the growth. We 
 have many pressing needs, but the most serious task is caring for the 
 great influx of Negroes. Five Negro churches should be assisted in 
 securing new buildings. At least $100,000 should be available for this 
 purpose. In some cases an investment of $10,000 will be sufficient. 
 In others it may require $40,000. In addition, a Christian center 
 should be provided for the Negro people on the East Side. This will 
 cost at least $50,000, but we must make provision for the social and 
 religious needs of these great bodies of people. 
 
 A Christian center for the Polish community on the West Side, 
 with adequate provision for worship, is greatly needed. The land will 
 cost $10,000 and the building $50,000 more. The large Polish popula¬ 
 tion demands immediate attention. 
 
 Battle Creek. $15,000 for a lot and first unit of a new building in a 
 populous section. 
 
 Escanaba on the northern peninsula, in a copper mining district: 
 $20,000 for a new church building and parsonage. 
 
 Flint, a growing automobile town: four new churches required, 
 costing about $100,000. 
 
 Kalamazoo. A new building on portage Street, $30,000. 
 
 Lansing. Three new buildings: one on Michigan Avenue, one on 
 South Side and one on Pennsylvania Avenue, $50,000. 
 
 16 
 
Muskegon. A new building at Muskegon Heights. Building for 
 missions in North Muskegon and rebuilding Calvary Church, $30,000. 
 
 Pontiac. Two new buildings, $60,000. 
 
 Port Huron. New buildings at Marysville, $40,000. 
 
 Saginaw. New building at North End, $40,000. 
 
 Ypsilanti. Parish house to enable church to minister to the social 
 needs of a large body of students attending the Normal College. 
 
 Illinois 
 
 The State Convention of Illinois has two specific amounts which 
 it is anxious to secure. The first is a Church Edifice Fund of $100,000, 
 from which to make small grants to churches which need aid in build¬ 
 ing. The second is an Endowment Fund of $30,000 for the University 
 Church at Champaign. This is a church made up almost entirely of 
 students in the University of Illinois. They have a beautiful church 
 building and are doing a wonderful work, but students have small in¬ 
 comes and large outgoes and the church must be supported in part by 
 the State Convention. An endowment fund will care for this obliga¬ 
 tion. 
 
 Chicago. Every church problem reaches its peak, in Chicago. 
 Conditions that are just beginning to attract attention in other cities 
 long ago became acute in this great center. All the tides east and 
 west, north and south, drift through this city. The Baptist Exec¬ 
 utive Council is hard pressed to meet the conditions. They do not 
 care to specify funds for particular points in a public appeal but they 
 can furnish accurate data on request. Just now they are trying to grip 
 with the Negro situation. 
 
 The drift of southern Negroes to the North has flowed through this 
 city of Chicago. More than 100,000 have settled in the city in the last 
 three or four years. The largest Negro church in the world is in Chicago. 
 It worships in two separate buildings. Small Negro churches are spring¬ 
 ing up like mushrooms. Many will wilt like mushrooms, but others 
 will abide. Those which give promise of permanency must be helped 
 to secure buildings. Two general missionaries of superior intelligence 
 are needed at once to counsel and direct these people and to exercise 
 general supervision of the work. 
 
 Immigration is rapidly increasing again. It bids fair to approach 
 the pre-wartime figures very speedily. Chicago is one of the best 
 known names in Europe and thousands of these people are ticketed 
 through on arrival. This demands a new development of our work 
 among the Bohemians, Italians, Hungarians, Slovaks, Poles, etc. It 
 means that new work must be planned among the Lithuanians, Ru¬ 
 manians, Serbians and other who are flocking in. 
 
 Then, too, like any growing city, there is the problem of the new 
 suburbs. Our work should be developed at several points at once. At 
 least four new buildings should be provided immediately. 
 
 Iowa 
 
 The Iowa Baptist Convention is seeking to secure the completion 
 of two specific funds. It has already begun a Church Edifice Fund 
 
 17 
 
of $100,000 and an Endowment Fund of $150,000. While many of the 
 churches in Iowa have already erected their permanent buildings, yet 
 there is a demand today for considerable improvement in church prop¬ 
 erty. This makes a heavy burden upon the State Convention. If a 
 building program of any adequate dimensions is inaugurated, the Con¬ 
 vention ought to be in a position to aid many churches, and a fund of 
 $100,000 for this purpose is none too large. 
 
 The Convention is also seeking to secure an Endowment Fund of 
 $150,000 in order to enable it to make adequate grants to small churches, 
 helping to pay the salaries of the pastors. While Iowa is a rich state, 
 there are many churches that are small and unable to raise sufficient 
 funds to pay the full salary of their ministers. Without such aid from 
 the Convention many churches would be unable to sustain regular pas¬ 
 toral relations. 
 
 Nebraska 
 
 The churches of Nebraska are moving rapidly to a position of self- 
 support and independence. This is the period in their development 
 for improved church property. The state is growing rapidly and com¬ 
 munities are becoming more prosperous. If Baptists are to hold a 
 position of influence in the various communities, a considerable amount 
 of money must be invested in new church properties within the period 
 of the next four years. Some of the projects outlined by the State Con¬ 
 vention are as follows: 
 
 New Church Buildings 
 
 Norfolk. An important town of 10,000, rapidly growing, where a 
 little band of Baptists undertook to erect the best church building 
 in the town at a cost of $40,000. An indebtedness of $10,000 is yet to 
 be provided for. The State Convention has pledged $2,000 out of the 
 New World Movement funds. 
 
 Scottsbluff. The most rapidly growing city in the state, with a popu¬ 
 lation of 8,000, destined to be the metropolis of the western part of the 
 state. There is not a permanent church building. Our Baptist peo¬ 
 ple number 100, but without the average Baptist wealth. They are 
 undertaking to build a $50,000 church building and are hoping to raise 
 the first unit of it within the next eighteen months. The State Con¬ 
 vention would like to invest $2,500 in this enterprise out of the New 
 World Movement Funds. 
 
 Benson, Omaha. A small mission church of 75 members located in 
 a suburb of 7,000 people. Subscriptions have already been taken for 
 a $25,000 building which records heroic sacrifice. The State Conven¬ 
 tion and the Omaha Baptist Union jointly desire to invest $2,000 in 
 this enterprise out of the New World Movement Funds. 
 
 Columbus. A prosperous town of 8,000 in the eastern part of the 
 state with only one other Protestant church. The Baptist membership 
 is 75. They have undertaken a New World Movement program which 
 means the raising of $30,000 within the next three years and the ulti¬ 
 mate erection of a $25,000 building. The State Convention would like 
 to invest $2,500 in this enterprise out of the New World Movement 
 Fund, if such be available. 
 
 18 
 
Olivet, Omaha. Located in one of the of the most beautiful resident 
 districts in the city, which only recently came to self-support. They 
 have undertaken the erection of a $30,000 building in which the Omaha 
 Baptist Union and the State Convention jointly desire to invest $2,000. 
 
 Wahoo. A beautiful county seat of 2,500. The Baptist church with 
 65 members plans the erection of a $25,000 church building on the finest 
 location for a church building in the city. They ought to have $2,500 
 from the New World Movement Fund. 
 
 Minne Lusa. A beautiful restricted addition in the western part of 
 Omaha where the Baptists are expected to furnish religious privileges. 
 No organization has yet been' effected. The Omaha Baptist Union 
 and the State Convention jointly expect to contribute $2,000 toward 
 a $10,000 property to make possible the beginning of that work. 
 
 Parsonages 
 
 Beatrice. A town of 1,000 people in the southeastern part of Ne¬ 
 braska where our Baptist church has had heroic struggle against odds. 
 It numbers about 100 members. A $5,000 parsonage is an im¬ 
 mediate necessity. The contribution of $500 from the New World 
 Movement Funds might make this possible of realization. 
 
 Red Cloud. A fine county seat town in southeast Nebraska not over¬ 
 churched. The Baptists number only 25. A $5,000 parsonage would 
 guarantee permanence of work. A gift of $1,000 from the New World 
 Movements funds might make such a parsonage possible. 
 
 The Omaha Baptist Union is anxious to open a Baptist Community 
 Center in north Omaha, in a sadly congested and neglected district. 
 The initial investment for purchasing the real estate will be in all about 
 $10,000. The Omaha Baptist Union and the State Convention jointly 
 desire to invest $50,000 of New World Movement funds in this enter¬ 
 prise. 
 
 The parishes in some of the western sections of Nebraska cover large 
 districts. The pastors often have to travel over a radius of ten to 
 fifteen miles. If these ministers were equipped with automobiles they 
 would be able to render a much larger service in their parishes and to 
 the Kingdom. The Convention desires to purchase at least four cars, 
 of which the cost is approximately $700 each. 
 
 Kansas 
 
 The needs in Kansas are quite different from those in other states 
 in this district, in view of the fact that most of the churches are well 
 housed and the Convention has other tasks upon its hands. Directors 
 of the Convention believe that it would be decidedly to the advantage 
 of their state work if they could own a property in Topeka for their 
 state headquarters. The purchase of a suitable site would cost $20,000. 
 
 The Convention has a very small endowment fund and, like all mis¬ 
 sionary organizations, realizes the necessity of a permanent fund, the 
 income of which shall act as an equalizing force at times when income 
 from the churches may not be sufficient to meet pressing needs. A 
 fund of $10,000 is desired for this purpose. 
 
 19 
 
There is still some building to be done in Kansas but the Convention 
 is not required to make large loans. It desires a fund of $5,000 which 
 it may invest in building enterprises in the next five years. 
 
 If the State Convention could be guaranteed a fund of $2,000 a year, 
 it would enable it to place an evangelist in the field. Such a man is 
 greatly needed to minister to pastorless churches and to churches un¬ 
 able to have adequate ministry. 
 
 The people from Mexico are moving northward into Kansas. While 
 the tide is not heavy as yet, those who have come are but a prophecy 
 of the larger number to be expected. The Convention desires to locate 
 at least two Mexican pastors at once. This will cost them not less 
 than $1,000 a year. The Convention also desires a fund of $300 a year 
 to locate a pastor in a strategic field. 
 
 Minnesota 
 
 Minnesota has passed out of the pioneer stage and yet there are 
 pioneer conditions still to be met. There are foreigners of many 
 tongues and there are beginning to be deserted downtown fields. Minne¬ 
 sota seems to present almost all the great missionary problems, except 
 perhaps that of the congested tenement district. Some of the many 
 needs may be listed as follows: 
 
 $1,500 per year will support a woman field worker. 
 
 $1,500 per year will provide the annual expense of the work among 
 the Bohemians. 
 
 $5,000 will help to provide an adequate building for this Bohemian 
 mission. 
 
 $1,200 per year will care for the work among the Slovaks. 
 
 $6,000 will purchase a building for housing the Slovak work. 
 
 $4,000 would furnish the Convention’s share in the purchase or erec¬ 
 tion of a parsonage. Four of these are needed now. 
 
 $60,000 ought to be invested by the Convention in new church 
 buildings within the next four years. 
 
 $50,000 is needed as an investment in the Olivet Church of Minne¬ 
 apolis, located at the gates of the University of Minnesota, and minis¬ 
 tering to a large number of students. 
 
 Wisconsin 
 
 The first need in Wisconsin is to wipe out a deficit of $25,000 accum¬ 
 ulated over a period of seven years in caring for the general work. 
 The Wisconsin Convention had twice planned to raise this deficit, 
 but put off the campaign to give way to the Victory Campaign and to 
 the New World Movement. This deficit must now be provided. 
 
 The Baptist Church at Madison, the seat of the University of Wis¬ 
 consin, is compelled to erect a new building. The Convention believes 
 that Baptists of Wisconsin should assist in the erection of a complete 
 modern plant, since the children of all the churches are cared for by 
 the church at Madison. This building should provide a place of wor¬ 
 ship, a residence for the University pastor, proper educational facilities 
 
 20 
 
and possibly a residence for some of the Baptist students. The project 
 calls for the sum of $250,000. 
 
 Wisconsin has also felt the influence of the migration northward of 
 the Negroes. Calvary Church of Milwaukee has grown from a mem¬ 
 bership of 37 to over 400 in the past three years. Opportunity is now 
 presented to purchase, at a remarkable bargain, a church building su¬ 
 perbly located and modern in every respect. $20,000 is required im¬ 
 mediately. 
 
 In Milwaukee the Convention now conducts mission work among the 
 Poles, but work among the Italians and Russians must soon be in¬ 
 augurated, and this will necessitate the expenditure of $50,000 in the 
 next four years. 
 
 The State Convention will soon be under the necessity of aiding 
 several of the churches in securing modern church plants. It needs at 
 least $200,000 for this purpose. 
 
 North Dakota 
 
 North Dakota is still a pioneer state. While the ranches have been 
 broken up into farms, there are large sections that have no adequate 
 religious institutions. The foreigners are scattered over the plains in 
 large numbers. For a long time this great state will need generous 
 missionary assistance. 
 
 By reason of its immense distances and its widely scattered churches, 
 one of the first needs in North Dakota is the automobile. The Con¬ 
 vention should have five at once. The gift of a comparatively new 
 machine would be appreciated. No worn-out machines need apply 
 for these long trails. The Russian missionary cares for six fields, four 
 of which cover 200 square miles. His people are scattered and he and 
 his woman assistant have no means of travel other than the railroad. 
 The Minnewaukan missionary has a field of 250 square miles, with 
 four stations; the Ryder missionary covers 300 square miles, with four 
 stations; two other missionary pastors have extensive fields where a 
 machine would add very greatly to their efficiency. These machines 
 can now be delivered in Dakota at $600 apiece. They will add 100 per 
 cent, to the missionary’s efficiency. 
 
 $2,000 will pay the salaries of one of these missionaries. 
 
 Church equipment is a vital necessity in several fields: 
 
 The Russian church at Max must have a new building. It will cost 
 $16,000, of which the Convention must furnish half. 
 
 Stanley is an important county seat on the line of the Great North¬ 
 ern. The church has put in a basement and roofed it over but can go 
 no further. Unless the Convention is able to put in about $8,000, that 
 building cannot be completed and our cause will suffer greatly. 
 
 There are Norwegian churches at Valley City and at Park River. 
 Parsonages are a necessity. They will insure permanency. The Con¬ 
 vention needs $3,000 for each of these fields. 
 
 Wyoming 
 
 The outstanding need in Wyoming is the erection of adequate build¬ 
 ings to house our churches. Many of the present buildings were erected 
 
 21 
 
in the early pioneer days. They were hastily constructed and are 
 entirely outgrown. The development of our work in this great state 
 depends upon adequate housing of the churches in the near future. 
 The Wyoming Convention believes new buildings should be erected 
 within the four-year period at Torrington, Casper, Douglas, Riverton, 
 Thermopolis, Powell, Deaver, Burlington and Hulett. 
 
 Some of the present buildings can be remodelled at more moderate 
 expense: Cheyenne, Lovell, Basin and Evanston. The contributions 
 of the Convention should vary from $500 to $75,000. Without these 
 new buildings work in Wyoming will be seriously retarded. 
 
 Utah 
 
 Conditions in Utah are not dissimilar from those in Wyoming. 
 New church buildings must be erected very shortly for the Eastern 
 Heights Church of Salt Lake City and for the church at Soldier Summit. 
 Four present buildings must be decidedly improved and new equip¬ 
 ment secured. One new outstation must be opened. 
 
 East Washington and North Idaho 
 
 While the East Washington and North Idaho Convention does not 
 care to publish the specifics in terms of dollars and cents, yet it is ready 
 to give definite information regarding the items at each point to anyone 
 who is interested. The needs as given by the Convention are listed as 
 follows: 
 
 The removal of the indebtedness to the American Baptist Home 
 Mission Society for loans made to churches for edifice purpose, a sum of 
 $50,000. 
 
 The removal of indebtedness incurred by churches on account of 
 street improvements and on account of construction of buildings. 
 
 The completion of some buildings in the process of construction and 
 the remodeling of others. 
 
 The erection of new church buildings at several strategic points, as 
 for example, at university towns where a large number of Baptist stu¬ 
 dents need religious care and nurture. 
 
 The securing of parsonages at several points, which equipment would 
 make a missionary church self-supporting. 
 
 The purchase and maintenance of automobiles for workers whose 
 fields cover a wide territory. The cost of each machine would be 
 between $600 and $700. 
 
 West Washington 
 
 The West Washington Baptist Convention gives a list of five specific 
 needs. These all relate to church properties. Growing cities of this 
 territory demand constant improvement in church buildings. 
 
 The University Church is located at the gates of the campus of the 
 University of Washington. An increasingly large number of Baptist 
 students make special demands upon this church. The Convention 
 must invest between $15,000 and $25,000 in this new plant if it is to be 
 at all adequate to this field. 
 
 22 
 
Many Japanese have located in the city of Seattle. Some of the 
 leading business men of the colony are members of our Baptist church. 
 This church needs a new plant and the Convention ought to invest 
 $15,000. 
 
 A like amount ought to be invested in the church for the Chinese, 
 which is meeting a real need among the large number of Orientals in 
 this city. 
 
 In Seattle there is a cosmopolitan mission ministering to people of 
 several nationalities. This mission is not adequately housed and the 
 Convention will need to expend $25,000. 
 
 There is another Japanese colony located in the city of Tacoma 
 which is also in need of a new plant. The Convention ought to invest 
 $5,000 in this building. 
 
 Idaho 
 
 The southern part of Idaho comprises a Convention territory by 
 itself. The specific needs of this field are stated in the following terms: 
 
 The building of a Community House for the foreign-speaking people 
 in the city of Pocatello. There is a Negro population of considerable 
 size in this city also. Building should be erected to house this church. 
 
 Three new church buildings are immediately needed in the state. 
 Help must be given by the State Convention. Assistance should also 
 be rendered in the construction of three new parsonages. 
 
 There are several fields in Idaho which ought to be entered by the 
 Convention; two of them should be opened at once. 
 
 Montana 
 
 The Montana Convention has a long list of churches which ought to 
 be assisted in the erection of church buildings. Owing to the changes 
 in cost of construction, they do not deem it wise either to name the 
 places or state the amounts at the present time. They have been 
 allotted $90,000 for church buildings in this state. 
 
 Northern California 
 
 The Convention of Northern California states its needs as follows: 
 
 $20,000 to enlarge the Chinese Church of San Francisco now seriously 
 overcrowded. 
 
 $10,000 for the development of work in a needy field in the city of 
 San Francisco. 
 
 $3,000 for the erection of a building for the Russian Church of San 
 Francisco. 
 
 $10,000 for a church building at Vallejo. This church ministers to 
 thousands of United States sailors at the nearby training station. 
 
 $10,000 for a memorial building in Fresno, located in a growing 
 suburb. 
 
 $10,000 for additions to the missionary staff and the opening of new 
 fields. 
 
 23 
 
Southern California 
 
 There are many needs in the field of the Southern California Conven¬ 
 tion. The most important of them are catalogued as follows: 
 
 Los Angeles. The Swedish-American Church at Sunrise Heights 
 has been worshipping for a long time in a poorly ventilated store room. 
 This church needs a new structure at once. $10,000 are required. 
 
 The equipment for the largest Mexican field in Los Angeles is entirely 
 inadequate. An offer has been received of a lot, with the brick and 
 tile sufficient to erect a suitable plant. Money is needed for the 
 work of construction. $11,000 should be had at once. 
 
 The Goodyear Rubber Company is developing a large industrial 
 center connected with its allied industries. Baptists ought to establish 
 a church in that district at once among the 40,000 people who will be 
 located there. $15,000 is needed to open this field. 
 
 Three parsonages should be erected at the cost of $4,500 each, in 
 order to provide housing for the missionaries among the foreign born. 
 
 McKittrick, Reward and vicinity, in Kern County Oil Fields. No 
 church of any denomination in entire section. One Sunday school in 
 schoolhouse between McKittrick and Reward. No other religious 
 services for three communities with a population of 2,000. The South¬ 
 ern California Baptist Convention has accepted sole responsibility for 
 ministering to these people. Interchurch survey reported but one

 24 
 
tion. Only a limited number of homes for the employees at present. 
 Several hundred return to Los Angeles every night. Extensive building 
 operations will be commenced soon to house the men. Present popula¬ 
 tion about 2,000. Will be more than doubled as soon as houses are 
 provided. Two churches; Baptist in rented building. Fine lot has

 Negroes. The Negro population of Southern California has increased 
 from only a few thousand to about 125,000. There is imperative need 
 of assisting these people in securing permanent church buildings. With¬ 
 out mentioning the definite fields, the sum of not less than $25,000 
 should be available for this purpose almost immediately. 
 
 Parsonages. House rent has advanced to such heights that some of 
 our pastors have found it necessary to move into the church buildings 
 at much inconvenience. Unless aid can be given soon to a considerable 
 number of our smaller churches in securing parsonages, it will be almost 
 impossible to keep them supplied with pastors. In addition to all that 
 has been provided for thisjDurpose, there is an immediate need of at 
 least $20,000. 
 
 Automobiles. There is need for several automobiles for missionaries 
 in charge of fields where the constituency is greatly scattered, and where 
 the missionary covers a district with several preaching points. Num¬ 
 ber of automobiles needed at the present time, for which no provision 
 has been made, four. Estimated cost, $3,500. 
 
 Nevada-Sierra 
 
 No printed statement will convey to those unacquainted with the 
 facts an adequate conception of the missionary needs in this great 
 territory. Several of them may be specified.

Sparks is a railroad division point. The Baptist church is the largest 
 Protestant organization in the community and doing a valuable work 
 among many railroad men. In order to increase its efficiency, the 
 church needs a parsonage which should cost $5,000. This is one of the 
 fields where we ought to locate a community center which could render 
 an admirable service to a large number of railroad men who stop over 
 temporarily in this community. $4,000 would be a small investment 
 in such a property. 
 
 Reno is the capital city of the state and a strategic point for all re¬ 
 ligious work. The Baptist church in Reno has been carrying a heavy 
 indebtedness for many years, but it has now been reduced to $4,000. 
 The Convention ought to provide one-half of this and with this assist¬ 
 ance the church, which has less than 100 members, would be able to 
 provide the balance. 
 
 Fallon is the center of a rapidly growing agricultural section of the 
 state. The church is handicapped by the very inadequate building, 
 which consists of one room only. In order to minister to the needs of 
 young people an addition to this building should be made at once. 
 The Convention should invest at least $4,000. 
 
 The Baptist church in Elko is the center of a large territory. Its 
 nearest neighbor is 180 miles away. This church is in need of a parson¬ 
 age in order to give proper living facilities to its pastor. There should 
 be an investment of $4,000. 
 
 The Baptist church is the only church in the new town of Bieber. 
 The church is only two years old and it is worshiping in an old build¬ 
 ing built fifty years ago. It will not stand the strain of many more 
 winters. $35,000 should be invested in a new plant. 
 
 The church at Standish has no building, yet it is doing a fine piece of 
 work. In order to increase its usefulness a building should be erected 
 in the near future. This will necessitate an investment of $5,000. 
 
 THE MINISTERS AND MISSIONARIES 
 BENEFIT BOARD 
 
 The Ministers and Missionaries Benefit Board has met with a gen¬ 
 erous response in the hearts of our people. Its appeal for funds with 
 which to assist our aged and disabled ministers and missionaries has 
 struck a responsive chord in all parts of our country. Already the per¬ 
 manent fund amounts to $6,000,000. 
 
 In assisting our ministers and missionaries the Board is working 
 along three different lines: 
 
 First, it makes grants to ministers and missionaries on a basis of 
 their needs. Grants are now being made to 800 beneficiaries, including 
 widows and minor orphan children, who are scattered through all the 
 states of the North and some of whom are now residing outside our terri- 
 
 26 
 
tory. The need for this kind of assistance will never cease, as there 
 will always be those who by reason of accident, ill health, misfortune, 
 are unable to provide for themselves. This appeal is often pathetic 
 and always compelling. 
 
 Then the Board makes grants to ministers above sixty-five years of 
 age who have retired from the active pastorate. These grants are 
 based upon service. 
 
 Recently the Board has put in operation a Pension Plan by which 
 ministers under sixty-five pay a part of the cost of providing a retiring 
 pension at the age of sixty-five. In many cases the churches themselves 
 are paying the pastor’s portion of the annual premium. 
 
 If the Board is to continue and develop this ministry of helpfulness 
 its funds must be largely increased. 
 
 There are various interesting ways of making contributions to this 
 fund. Some individuals and churches are taking out annuity bonds, 
 providing that the income shall be paid to a retiring or former pastor 
 throughout his life. Others are making generous gifts and directing 
 that they shall bear the name of some minister or missionary or former 
 pastor. Still others prefer to designate their gifts for the benefit of the 
 orphan children of ministers and missionaries. There are many such 
 pathetic cases for whom generous and adequate provision ought to be 
 made by the followers of Jesus, who amazed the men of his day by 
 his interest in children and his affection for them. 
 
 THE AMERICAN BAPTIST PUBLICATION 
 
 SOCIETY 
 
 The American Baptist Publication Society holds a double relation to 
 our denomination. It is our great publishing agent and it also carries 
 out for us the systematic work of religious education. As our publishing 
 agent it edits, prints and distributes our Sunday school literature, in¬ 
 cluding quarterlies, papers, leaflets. It issues books and tracts written 
 by Baptists and others. It prints and distributes the Bible in English 
 and in foreign languages. It is our agent for disseminating the princi¬ 
 ples and truths for which Baptists stand. Under normal conditions this 
 publishing department is able to turn over large profits to its religious 
 education and Bible departments, but owing to greatly increased costs 
 of printing it is not now able to do this. With a turn in the tide of 
 business the profits will again flow into these channels. 
 
 For many years the American Baptist Publication Society earned 
 on general missionary work in the various states, but by reason of a 
 recent agreement with the American Baptist Home Mission Society 
 such activities are now carried on by the Home Mission Society, and 
 the Publication Society is now devoting its efforts to the promotion of 
 religiouseducation and to the printing and distribution of the Scriptures. 
 
 27 
 
RELIGIOUS EDUCATION 
 
 There are some most interesting specifics in the field of Religious 
 Education, as this work is carried on by the American Baptist Publica¬ 
 tion Society. One Hundred Dollars even will care for a most import¬ 
 ant piece of work. The range of these items is sufficiently wide to meet 
 the desires of any of our people. 
 
 1. $100 will provide a Loan Library for Sunday school officers. 
 
 2. $1,000 will finance the special work in a Foreign-speaking Sunday 
 school. 
 
 3. $1,850 will pay the salary for one year of a special City Worker 
 in Religious Education. 
 
 4. Designation can be made for the salary of the State Worker in 
 Religious Education in any of our states. The appropriations range 
 from $200 in some states to $3,000 in others. The exact amount for 
 your state may be learned from the office of the Publication Society. 
 
 5. $3,000, or approximately that, will furnish the salary and expenses, 
 for a year, of the District Director of Young People’s Work or of Ele¬ 
 mentary Sunday School Work or of Adult Work. For this purpose the 
 territory is divided into three districts: Eastern, Central and Pacific. 
 
 6. $75,000 will finance the maintenance of the Daily Vacation Bible 
 Schools for the period of five years. These schools are maintained in 
 many cities. $15,000 will carry this work for one year. 
 
 7. The Sunday School Field Workers are still engaged in pioneer 
 service, opening new schools in unchurched regions. $1,500 will pay 
 the salary and $600 the traveling expenses of one such worker. It is a 
 good way of spreading the News. 
 
 BIBLES, TRACTS AND LITERATURE 
 
 1. $100 will provide a small Library for ministers. 
 
 2. $1,000 will provide for the Scripture Readers’ League. 
 
 3. The Publication Society renders an important service through the 
 free distribution of Bibles, Tracts and Christian Literature. $60,000 
 will provide for this work for a period of five years; $12,000 will carry 
 it on for one year; and $1,000 will provide for it for one month. 
 
 4. The Society also aids in the publication of Baptist papers issued 
 by our Foreign-speaking Baptists in this country. $1,000 will provide 
 the subsidy of one of these papers for a year. 
 
 5. The Society provides equipment for the Colporter Missionaries 
 —sometimes a horse and wagon, sometimes an automobile. $800 will 
 cover the average cost of such equipment. 
 
 6. The Bible Workers go into sparsely settled sections distributing 
 Bibles and tracts and reach many beyond the touch of the Church. 
 $1,800 will provide the salary of one such worker in this country. 
 $1,500 will pay for such a man in Latin America. 
 
 7. The chapel cars are still a most effective method of missionary 
 service. They are side-tracked at towns where there is no church, 
 at railroad division points, etc., where pioneer work must be done. 
 There are seven of these cars. $3,000 provides the upkeep and the 
 transportation of one of them.

CHRISTIAN EDUCATION 
 
 The specific items for Christian Education are for the most part in¬ 
 cluded in the statements of the various schools and colleges. The 
 Board of Education itself, however, is conducting work for which 
 specific gifts will be welcomed. In cooperation with some of the State 
 Conventions and with the local churches, the Board is maintaining 
 university pastors at many great educational centers. These men are 
 devoting their time to caring for the interests of our Baptist boys and 
 girls who are students in the universities. By many different methods, 
 but always by being the older brother, they are helping our students 
 to maintain their religious life and their church relations during the 
 strenuous and often critical period of their college days. The field 
 for the development of this work is almost unlimited. Many more 
 men could be appointed at strategic points if the funds were at hand. 
 
 At present university pastors are under appointment in the following 
 states: New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsyl¬ 
 vania, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, 
 Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, Washington, California. 
 
 The salaries vary with the local conditions, but specific gifts of $2,000 
 each would make possible the appointment of men at important points. 
 They would be the means of saving many young people to active Chris¬ 
 tian lives. 
 
 Newton is our oldest seminary. It has a wonderful location and a 
 good equipment but its needs are fast outrunning its resources. It 
 should have a social hall and gymnasium. This building is needed 
 as a social center for the students and faculty for the development of 
 those relationships which count for much in the making of a minister. 
 This building should cost $150,000. 
 
 The seminary also needs an addition of $650,000 to its endowment 
 funds. These needs are classified as follows: $200,000 to provide in¬ 
 creases in salaries and cover deficits; $200,000 to provide for new teach¬ 
 ers in religious education, missions, evangelism; $50,000 for retiring 
 allowances; $25,000 for lecture funds; $25,000 for library funds; $25,000 
 for publishing funds; $25,000 for secretarial service; $100,000 for main- * 
 tenance of new social hall and gymnasium. 
 
 Location: Newton Center, Mass. 
 
 Colby College is our second oldest Baptist college. Its outstanding 
 material need is a chapel. No college is adequately equipped without 
 proper accommodation for religious services. Colby has no room large 
 enough for its student body to assemble. The chapel should cost 
 $150,000. The college also needs a new gymnasium. 
 
 There is also needed an endowment of $75,000 to provide for a new 
 Department of Religious Education. In addition there should be 
 $625,000 for endowment to provide for increases in salaries and the new 
 costs of maintenance. 
 
 Location: Waterville, Maine. 
 
 Bates College has a remarkably good equipment but its increasing 
 popularity demands increased facilities. They are stated as follows: 
 
 For enlargement of the library to make available thousands of valu¬ 
 able books now in storage and to provide needed reading, conference 
 and art rooms, $80,000. 
 
 29 
 
For changes in the girls’ home to provide adequate reception and 
 dining rooms, $35,000. # 
 
 For a new commons to supplant present inadequate dining hall 
 for the boys, $100,000. 
 
 For a new boys’ dormitory to supplement the buildings now greatly 
 overcrowded, $100,000. 
 
 For increased endowment, $185,000, to enable the college to make 
 proper remuneration to its underpaid faculty. 
 
 Location: Lewiston, Maine. 
 
 New England is rich in its academies, which are valuable feeders to its 
 colleges and which give high school education to many boys and girls 
 who would not secure it elsewhere. 
 
 Ricker needs a new girls’ dormitory, a gymnasium and a central heat¬ 
 ing plant, as well as increased endowment. 
 
 Location: Houlton, Maine. 
 
 Higgins needs new equipment and extensive repairs. It must re¬ 
 move a burdensome mortgage and secure increased endowment. 
 
 Location: Charleston, Maine. 
 
 Maine Central needs a gymnasium, a boys’ dormitory and overhauling 
 of the present buildings. 
 
 Location: Pittsfield, Maine. 
 
 Cobum must repair the main building, erect a girls’ dormitory, com¬ 
 plete payments on the new boys’ dormitory and erect a gymnasium. 
 
 Location: Waterville, Maine. 
 
 Colby Academy has outgrown its boys’ dormitory and new housing 
 facilities for its many boys must be provided. The boys are also asking 
 for a much-needed gymnasium. These two buildings will cost at least 
 $175,000. The school also needs $300,000 additional endowment. 
 
 Location: New London, New Hampshire. 
 
 Hebron’s needs are considerably beyond its allotment in the budget. 
 These needs are due to its remarkable success. Like other schools it 
 needs a gymnasium. It requires a science building and another boys’ 
 dormitory. A gift of $25,000 would provide for the new water system 
 which the school was recently forced to install. 
 
 Location: Hebron, Maine. 
 
 Vermont Academy has been closed for three years, but it has a splen¬ 
 did location and a good equipment. Vermont Baptists have deter¬ 
 mined to reopen it in the fall of 1921. The buildings must be repaired. 
 The boys’ dormitory was burned three years ago and must be rebuilt. 
 Funds for opening the school must be provided. $200,000 will be well 
 spent here. There is a demand for such a school in Vermont. 
 
 Location: Saxton’s River, Vermont. 
 
 Suffield needs new housing facilities for its boys at a cost of $75,000. 
 It also needs increased endowment to provide better for its growing 
 work. 
 
 Location: Suffield, Connecticut. 
 
 Keuka College is for young women. It has been closed for several 
 years, but is to be reopened in September, 1921. Women are demand¬ 
 ing more educational facilities in New York State. In order to reopen 
 the college, $60,000 will be needed in repairing and remodeling the pres- 
 
 30 
 
ent main building. In order to provide living quarters for the teachers 
 several houses must be secured; they will cost $20,000. A new main 
 building with classrooms, auditorium and gymnasium will be needed 
 at once—estimated cost, $100,000. 
 
 Location: Keuka Park, New York. 
 
 Peddie Institute is such a highly successful school for boys that it is 
 suffering from the results of its success. It needs greatly increased 
 funds in order to respond to the demands made upon it. We suggest 
 the more important ones. 
 
 Endowment: $450,000. This will provide increased salaries for the 
 teachers, and—what is very important—scholarship funds by which 
 worthy boys of limited means may have the privilege of the school. 
 
 Classroom building: $200,000. The school has completely outgrown 
 its classroom facilities and more room must be provided if more boys 
 are to be received. 
 
 Athletic field: $30,000. The rule at Peddie is not special training 
 for the few, but adequate exercise and training for all. This requires 
 large fields. The school owns the land but it needs to be prepared for 
 use. 
 
 Dining hall: $50,000. The present hall built twenty-five years ago 
 is overcrowded. Additions are imperative. 
 
 Lower school buildings: $100,000. There is rapidly increasing de¬ 
 mand for care of boys from 10 to 14 years of age. This requires separ¬ 
 ate equipment. The school feels the necessity and importance for 
 caring for these little fellows, many of whose homes are not qualified 
 to care for them. 
 
 There are other needs, such as a chapel and a gymnasium. 
 
 Location: Hightstown, New Jersey. 
 
 Bucknell University is also suffering from overcrowding. One hun¬ 
 dred young women were refused admittance this year. Only half the 
 student body can attend chapel at the same time. The endowment 
 is only $600,000 and there are nearly 1,000 students. The following 
 needs are therefore apparent: 
 
 A new chapel large enough to accommodate the whole student body, 
 so that religious services for the whole college may be held each day. 
 
 An engineering building. The war greatly stimulated the interest 
 of students in the sciences and the present provision is most inadequate. 
 
 A dormitory for women. We cannot afford to refuse our girls an 
 education. 
 
 A new gymnasium. Students need sound bodies as well as clear 
 heads. 
 
 Endowment, $1,000,000. A school must have adequate funds to 
 supply sufficient well-paid teachers. This need has become serious. 
 
 Location: Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Crozer Seminary is in need of enlarged library facilities. Books are 
 the students’ tools. They may be at hand but if he cannot get at them 
 they are of little value. This is the difficulty at Crozer: many valuable 
 books unavailable because of space. $60,000 will provide for the en¬ 
 largement and $40,000 the funds to maintain it. 
 
 Location: Chester, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Keystone is the one Baptist academy left in Pennsylvania. It fills 
 
 31 
 
a real need for many boys and girls. It needs the expenditure of con¬ 
 siderable money to put it into shape. 
 
 A new heating plant, $15,000. To replace one completely worn out. 
 
 A swimming pool, $3,000. Every boy wants to swim. No school is 
 attractive to him unless it has a pool. 
 
 New laboratory equipment, $4,000. 
 
 New and modern books for the library, $2,000. This need is very 
 great. 
 
 A new athletic field adequate for sports, $2,500. 
 
 An infirmary for the care of sick boys, $5,000. 
 
 A chapel with accommodations for the work of the school, $40,000. 
 
 Most important of all, endowment funds of not less than $100,000. 
 This need is imperative at Keystone. 
 
 Location: Factoryville, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Baptist Institute for Christian Workers. This school is preparing 
 
 young women to serve as missionaries, pastors’ assistants, Sunday 
 school visitors, etc. The girls are not able to pay large sums for tuition 
 and board. Hence a generous endowment is necessary. $300,000 
 is needed at once. 
 
 The building is not completed. $75,000 is needed to finish this and 
 provide room for more girls who are applying. 
 
 Location: Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. 
 
 Broaddus College in West Virginia is growing more rapidly than its 
 endowment or equipment warrant. Baptists must move quickly to 
 overtake their opportunity. The outstanding needs are: 
 
 A gymnasium to cost from $70,000 to $100,000. There is no provi¬ 
 sion now for the physical exercise of the students, except walking. This 
 is a need that must soon be met. 
 
 A recitation building to. cost $150,000. Classes are now held in 
 every available corner and even out of doors as long as weather permits. 
 
 And again endowment! endowment!! endowment!!! 
 
 Location: Philippi, West Virginia. 
 
 Franklin College in Indiana is sharing generously in the present edu¬ 
 cational prosperity, so far as attendance is concerned. It needs funds 
 to provide adequate education for those who are demanding it. Its 
 outstanding needs are listed as follows: 
 
 Increase of endowment, $600,000—in order to secure and retain capa¬ 
 ble teachers. 
 
 A science building to cost about $175,000, greatly needed to meet 
 demands of students for scientific education, a demand greatly in¬ 
 creased by the war. 
 
 A dormitory for men, $125,000. Franklin College could save every 
 boy $125 to $150 per year if it could put him in a dormitory rather than 
 force him to room “ in town.” This would help many a boy to secure 
 an education. 
 
 A dormitory for women, $125,000. Present dormitory crowded full. 
 
 An addition of several acres to the campus. This will be required for 
 the new buildings. Will cost $100,000. 
 
 Location: Franklin, Indiana. 
 
 The Tenth Avenue Church of Columbus, Ohio, located at the 
 gates of Ohio State University, is planning an extensive and important 
 work for students. In order to carry out its plans it needs: 
 
 32 
 
A home for women students, $12,500. 
 
 A home for men students, $12,500. 
 
 Added facilities for the church, $50,000. 
 
 A religious education building, $75,000. 
 
 Kalamazoo needs at least $750,000 for increased endowment. This 
 is the most pressing need. Other needs are a science building and new 
 dormitories. 
 
 Location: Kalamazoo, Michigan. 
 
 Hillsdale very greatly needs dormitores, laboratories and a gymna¬ 
 sium, but the pressing need is for endowment, and the trustees desire 
 to put all money into that fund until it is adequate to meet the 
 mounting costs of education. They will wait for other things until 
 this is secured, but they must not be asked to wait too long. 
 
 Location: Hillsdale, Michigan. 
 
 Shurtleff needs, in addition to an increased endowment, a girls’ dor¬ 
 mitory, a science hall, a gymnasium and a chapel. Emphasis is laid 
 upon the science building, which would cost about $150,000, and the 
 chapel $75,000. This college was founded by John M. Peck, the pio¬ 
 neer Baptist missionary to the Mississippi Valley. It would be most fit¬ 
 ting to have this chapel given as a memorial to this Baptist hero. 
 His name is worthy of perpetuation. His influence is indestructible. 
 
 Location: Alton, Illinois. 
 
 University of Chicago Divinity School needs increased endowments 
 to provide for increased cost of education and for necessary expansion. 
 
 Location: Chicago, Illinois. 
 
 Northern Baptist Seminary also needs endowment funds. Its body 
 of students is growing rapidly and funds must be had for their training. 
 
 Location: Chicago, Illinois. 
 
 Missionary Training School needs endowment for maintenance and 
 for scholarships. Many needy students are cared for. Without schol¬ 
 arships they cannot be prepared for service. 
 
 Location: Chicago, Illinois. 
 
 Frances Shimer School for Girls has outgrown its equipment. More 
 buildings must be secured before it can train more girls. These needs 
 in order of importance are: 
 
 A dormitory, $60,000. 
 
 A gymnasium, $40,000. 
 
 A music building, $40,000. 
 
 A library, $75,000. 
 
 The development of a high grade school for girls is limited now only 
 by its equipment to handle them. 
 
 Location: Mt. Carroll, Illinois. 
 
 William Jewell College has many needs, but none so pressing as added 
 endowment. It is a strong cry from this old Missouri college. 
 
 Location: Liberty, Missouri. 
 
 Stephens Junior College for Women needs dormitory facilities for 
 300 additional students before September, 1921, if it is to accommodate 
 a major portion of the students applying. $100,000 would supply a 
 part of that need. 
 
 33 
 
A science hall to cost about $150,000. 
 
 A library to cost $60,000. 
 
 A dining hall to accommodate 500 girls, to cost $40,000. 
 
 Popularity brings its burdens as well as its joys. Stephens has found 
 its way to the hearts of Missouri girls. 
 
 Location: Columbia, Missouri. 
 
 Hardin is another highly successful college for women in Missouri. 
 The institution needs: 
 
 A dormitory to accommodate 150 students. 
 
 A hospital. 
 
 A classroom building. 
 
 A heating plant. 
 
 A second dormitory. 
 
 A contribution toward any one of these buildings will help the edu¬ 
 cation of Missouri women 
 
 Location: Mexico, Missouri. 
 
 Union College is a new name to many Baptists. The name will, 
 however, become familiar as it is the title given to the new institution 
 growing out of the union of Central and Des Moines Colleges. It is 
 located in the city of Des Moines. The college recently purchased a 
 fine property with excellent college buildings, but added equipment is a 
 necessity. The outstanding needs are as follows: 
 
 A new gymnasium and equipment for the athletic field: $200,000. 
 
 A chapel which shall occupy the central place in the campus and sym¬ 
 bolize all that the college stands for in Christian education: $100,000. 
 
 A library building to give housing facilities for 20;000 volumes now 
 in hand and others yet to come. 
 
 A college commons for the social gatherings of the student body and 
 for meetings of the Christian Associations. 
 
 An engineering hall. 
 
 An endowment of $50,000 for a chair of Religious and Missionary 
 Education, this department becoming increasingly important and neces¬ 
 sary in our Christian colleges. 
 
 The college is also n need of increased endowment funds. $50,000 
 will endow a single professorship. 
 
 Location: Des Moines, Iowa. 
 
 Ottawa University. The first necessity of this institution is an ade¬ 
 quate endowment fund. $500,000 is now being sought. When secured 
 this will give an endowment of $1,000,000 to the college. This sum is 
 none too large to meet the exigencies of the present situation. 
 
 The college is also in need of several buildings. It is not adequately 
 housed at present. The following are the outstanding needs from the 
 point of view of equipment: 
 
 A central heating plant, $50,000 
 
 Dining hall and social rooms, $60,000. 
 
 Library building, $100,000. 
 
 Dormitory for girls, $100,000. 
 
 Finishing of science building, $50,000. 
 
 Improving the campus, $15,000. 
 
 Location: Ottawa, Kansas. 
 
 Grand Island College. The most urgent need of this institution is a 
 central heating plant to replace one which is completely worn out. 
 
 34 
 
The estimated cost will be not less than $15,000. The second need of 
 the college is a modern science building. There is a building now on the 
 campus which can be remodeled for this purpose and the cost of the 
 change will be not less than $25,000. 
 
 Location: Grand Island, Nebraska. 
 
 University of Nebraska. The Baptists of Nebraska are deeply 
 concerned about their students at the State University, of whom there 
 are many. They have, therefore, purchased a plot of ground upon 
 which is located a temporary building. This cost $15,000. On this 
 site must be erected a modern residence and social center for the stu¬ 
 dent body. The first cost must be provided from the New World 
 Movement. 
 
 Location: Lincoln, Nebraska. 
 
 Kansas City Baptist Theological Seminary. Baptists have two 
 theological seminaries west of the Mississippi River. One of these is 
 located in Kansas City, Kansas. The immediate need of this institution 
 is an addition to the endowment fund of $250,000. The institution has 
 heretofore been dependent upon annual contributions from the churches 
 but this is a precarious basis upon which to conduct a school perma¬ 
 nently; therefore an endowment fund is an immediate necessity. This 
 institution ministers to a large number of students in this district and 
 in connection with the seminary the trustees are conducting a women’s 
 training school. 
 
 Owing to changes in population it must seek a new site and erect a 
 new set of buildings, for it cannot permanently remain on its old loca¬ 
 tion. The cost of the new site and buildings will be not less than 
 $165,000. The buildings for the seminary proper would cost at least 
 $100,000 and for the training school $65,000. 
 
 Location: Kansas City, Kansas. 
 
 Bethel Academy and Theological Seminary are the educational 
 institutions of the Swedish Baptists. The institutions have recently 
 been relocated in a fine section of St. Paul and have two excellent build¬ 
 ings. The Academy now needs a dormitory for boys and another for 
 girls. The buildings will cost approximately $50,000. The Academy 
 also needs a special endowment fund of $50,000 for a chair in English 
 Bible. The Bible is taught to all students every year during their 
 course and this department needs a permanent endowment fund. 
 
 Location: St. Paul, Minnesota. 
 
 Sioux Falls College desires first of all a Department of Religious 
 Education, in order that all students may have some training in the 
 organization and conduct of religious education in the churches. 
 The college also stands in great need of a dormitory for women. It 
 could easily care for 200 or 300 girls if the institution had housing facili¬ 
 ties for them. 
 
 Like all important colleges, Sioux Falls also needs a gymnasium. It 
 is seriously handicapped in its efforts to give physical training to all 
 students by its lack of an adequate gymnasium. 
 
 The college also needs a library and laboratory equipment in order 
 to extend the present work of the institution. 
 
 Location: Sioux Falls, South Dakota. 
 
 Wayland Academy is located at Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. It is a 
 
 35 
 
coeducational institution with a good equipment and ideal environ¬ 
 ment. The institution lists its needs as follows: 
 
 Additional dormitories. 
 
 A swimming pool. 
 
 A modern dining hall. 
 
 An increase in endowment funds. 
 
 $150,000 will help in meeting some of these needs. 
 
 Location: Beaver Dam, Wisconsin. 
 
 Carleton College has many needs growing out of the prosperity of 
 the institution. Some of the more important may be listed as follows: 
 
 Chemistry building, $300,000. 
 
 Physics building, $190,000. 
 
 Administration building, $60,000. 
 
 Women’s gymnasium, $90,000. 
 
 Addition to music hall, $90,000. 
 
 Books for the library, $30,000. 
 
 Carleton College is growing so rapidly that it is in need of a constantly 
 increasing endowment fund. There is no limit to the work which this 
 institution can do for Baptist boys and girls if sufficient funds are se¬ 
 cured for endowment purposes. 
 
 Location: Northfield, Minnesota. 
 
 McMinnville College is the only Baptist school in the Northwest. 
 This institution is making rapid progress in every direction, but it is 
 still housed in the old college buildings, which need to be replaced as 
 rapidly as possible. The most pressing needs are an administrative 
 building, a dormitory for girls and one for boys, a science building and a 
 library. Provision for any one of these needs would be an investment 
 which will bring large returns in the life of the Northwest. 
 
 Location: McMinnville, Oregon. 
 
 Colorado Woman’s College. Bapt'sts have but one educational 
 institution in the Rocky Mountain District. This is Colorado Woman’s 
 College, opened some ten years ago at Denver, Colorado. It is having a 
 remarkable success, but its equipment is as yet decidedly inadequate. 
 The needs of the school are stated as follows: 
 
 The Dormitory. For the purpose of completing the dormitory as it 
 now stands and of finishing the north wing according to the original plan 
 of the architect, it is believed that not less than $165,000 would be re¬ 
 quired. This will materially increase the accommodations and is the 
 first building project that should be undertaken. It will also supply 
 needed classroom quarters. 
 
 President’s House. Housing conditions in Denver are very serious. 
 Several thousand people find it difficult to secure places to live. One 
 of the desirable building additions of the college will be a president's 
 house, which it would take at east $15,000 to provide. 
 
 Library Equipment. For equipment there should be at least $5,000 
 appropriated for the library. The college has a good beginning of well 
 selected material and with the expenditure of $5,000 it could secure a 
 good working library. 
 
 Laboratory Equipment. For laboratory equipment the school 
 should have at least $10,000. The laboratories are already begun, but 
 
 36 
 
the school must expand its work in science and must have equipment 
 to do the work adequately. 
 
 General Equipment. With the completion of the main building it 
 will require about $15,000 for general equipment. 
 
 The Grounds. The college grounds have never been improved and 
 it is desirable to appropriate for this purpose somewhere about $10,000. 
 With this the grounds could be put in a very presentable condition and 
 it would add much to the attractiveness of the premises and the appeal 
 of the institution. 
 
 Location: Denver, Colorao. 
 
 Berkeley Baptist Divinity School is the only Baptist divinity school 
 west of the Rocky Mountains. It is located at the seat of one of the 
 greatest universities of the country. Like all new schools, its first need 
 is that of endowment. $420,000 is assigned for the endowment of this 
 school in the Hundred Million Dollar Fund. This will provide a 
 foundation for seven professorships in addition to one which is already 
 established. This endowment fund must be completed. 
 
 The school is now erecting a fine building, the central part and one 
 wing of which are nearing completion. The rest of the building ought 
 to be provided at once, especially the wing which contains the chapel. 
 
 Additional land is required for the expansion of the institution, 
 especially for providing a building for the training of women. 
 
 Location: Berkeley, California. 
 
 Redlands University is our only institution in the Southwest. It has 
 had a remarkable development in the last few years. It has, however, 
 rapidly outgrown its equipment and its needs are apparent to all visitors. 
 Those which must first be provided are as follows: 
 
 Dormitories for the increasing number of students, $150,000. Present 
 dormitories are filled to capacity and it is difficult to find desirable places 
 off the campus for the students. 
 
 A library building costing $60,000. 
 
 Chapel and fine arts building, $175,000. The President’s house, 
 which is now used for fine art work, is no longer large enough to meet 
 the demands. 
 
 University Hall, $75,000, to care for the Christian Associations and 
 various student organizations and to provide for the social life of the 
 institution. 
 
 Equipment for the laboratory and library, $30,000. 
 
 For permanent endowment of the institution, $650,000. 
 
 Location: Redlands, California. 
 
 Our denominational schools are monuments to the foresight and 
 sacrificial gifts of our forefathers, who keenly appreciated their large 
 place in our denominational life and in the furtherance of the Kingdom. 
 These needs which we have stated are not all that might be mentioned, 
 but surely there is in them ample opportunity to make an investment 
 that will give you a deal of satisfaction in the thought that for gener¬ 
 ations you will be building yourself into the lives of many successive 
 builders of the Kingdom.

THE AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME MISSION 
 
 SOCIETY 
 
 The American Baptist Home Mission Society carries on missionary 
 work in nearly every state in the Union, and in Cuba, Porto Rico, 
 Mexico, Nicaragua, El Salvador and Honduras. Its missionaries work 
 among twenty-two foreign-speaking racial groups in the United States 
 and eleven Indian tribes. It has an extensive missionary educational 
 system among the Negroes, Indians (reaching twenty-three tribes), 
 Spanish and other foreign-speaking peoples. In Mexico it has a well- 
 equipped hospital. Schools and hospital need large endowments. It 
 aids in the erection of churches, parsonages and Christian community 
 center buildings. It gives special attention to social service activities 
 and the Christian development of rural communities. Through an 
 adjustment with the Publication Society it pays the salaries of the 
 colporter missionaries and the missionaries on chapel cars and gospel 
 cruisers. Under a Brotherhood Committee it establishes brotherhoods 
 and stimulates their active program of service, which includes work for 
 boys, in which the Publication Society and the Home Mission Society 
 are jointly interested. It stimulates evangelism through wide areas and 
 increases interest in this type of work among the churches and pastors. 
 Its motto is “North America for Christ.” The Society conducts its 
 work in closest cooperation with the Woman’s American Baptist Home 
 Mission Society and the American Baptist Publication Society. An 
 International Seminary in East Orange, N. J., will train foreign-speak¬ 
 ing leaders not only for the racial groups in America but also to become 
 leaders of their own peoples in Europe. 
 
 English-Speaking Missions 
 
 $10,000 will provide the Society’s part of the Every-Community 
 Service Endeavor in the State of Montana, which all the evangelical 
 denominations have joined in establishing as a demonstration state. 
 
 $5,000 covers the full expense of a mission station. 
 
 Indians. 
 
 The Indians in western Oklahoma, among’whom most of the Chris¬ 
 tians are Baptists, sorely need a school for the Christian training of 
 their young people. Their churches are without leaders because such a 
 school has not been provided. $40,000 will secure grounds and buildings 
 for such a school. 
 
 Automobiles 
 
 In many areas a missionary’s work and efficiency can be increased 
 from two to fivefold by the use of an automobile, which enables him to 
 reach more preaching appointments and reach them more frequently, 
 and do more evangelistic and personal work. 
 
 $300 given by the Society calls forth sufficient additional gifts to 
 purchase an automobile for a missionary. One hundred of these are 
 needed during the next five years. 
 
 Americanization Program 
 
 $2,500 will make it possible to present to each missionary a copy of 
 the home mission text-book for the year, with a statement of practical 
 plans for bringing it to the attention of the people. 
 
 38 
 
$5,000 will provide for training the missionaries under appointment 
 in advance work in English and better methods in social service and 
 community relations, and instruction of rural groups in institutes 
 during several days each summer. 
 
 Christian Community Centers 
 
 The Society hopes to expend on 25 Christian community centers in 
 five years at least $250,000 as providential developments may indicate. 
 It is expected that this will lead to the construction of adequate Chris¬ 
 tian community centers in cities where local cooperation is strongest. 
 $10,000 will be the Society’s share on the average for each project. 
 
 Negro Work in the North 
 
 $10,000 for a Negro community house and equipment and a church 
 edifice. Twenty-five of these will doubtless be needed during the next 
 five years. The remaining amounts will be subscribed by Negroes and 
 local organizations. 
 
 Lumber Camps 
 
 $1,000 will begin work and the same amount each year will con¬ 
 tinue it. 
 
 Fellowships for Specialists in city and community work 
 $700 for each of ten such students needed annually. 
 
 Forward Work in Cities 
 
 $18,000 to $50,000 annually in each of seven cities would be the 
 Society’s share in a forward movement establishing our work on a 
 reconstructed and substantial basis; such gifts would be multiplied 
 several fold by local contributions. 
 
 $2,500 pays the Society’s share of the current expenses of a com¬ 
 munity house. 
 
 Rural Demonstration Centers 
 
 Rural demonstration centers will be created out of existing oppor¬ 
 tunities for the most part, where the church will undertake the task of 
 a complete ministry. The ideal sought in this work is that every rural 
 church which has a right to live should become a demonstration center, 
 showing what a church may really mean to a community in the making 
 of a continuous and cumulative survey, and the keeping of adequate 
 records. In some cases, the stimulation of the building of a rural 
 community house, or a more adequate church equipment—building, 
 parsonage, piece of land or automobile—would be within the scope of 
 rural church redirection and demonstration. To help provide a suitable 
 and properly paid ministry to carry forward the work of a rural demon¬ 
 stration church, the Society will need to cooperate financially for a time. 
 At least one and preferably two rural demonstration churches should 
 be erected in all of our states having the largest number of rural 
 churches. 
 
 Twenty rural community houses should be built each year, the 
 Society cooperating. $2,000 is the Society’s share for each. 
 
 Social service and rural community directors should be secured in 
 
 v 
 
 39 
 
five states, $1,500 being the Society’s annual share toward the salary 
 of each director. 
 
 Evangelism 
 
 The task is primarily the inspiration and stimulation to utmost 
 effectiveness in evangelism and personal efforts of the pastor and 
 members of every local church. The operation of the department calls 
 for a general superintendent of evangelism; one or more assistant 
 superintendents, each combining the functions of superintendent and 
 evangelist-at-large in his respective division; an evangelist for each 
 convention, or group of conventions, whose functions should be both 
 executive and demonstrative; three Sunday school evangelists, one in 
 each division; three evangelists for industrial groups; a sufficient num¬ 
 ber of evangelists for the various foreign-speaking groups. 
 
 Evangelists are planned for in twenty-seven conventions. $1,000 
 is the Society’s share toward the salary of each. $2,500 will provide for 
 a Sunday school evangelist. Three are needed. $1,250 is the Society’s 
 share of the salary of an assistant evangelist. Ten are needed. 
 
 Architectural Department 
 
 An architectural department was established June 15, 1920, by the 
 American Baptist Home Mission Society and the American Baptist 
 Publication Society, jointly, for the purpose of securing an improvement 
 in architecture of churches, Sunday schools and denominational insti¬ 
 tutions. $15,000 is desired for the support of this project. 
 
 Gospel Cruisers 
 
 The salaries of the missionaries on the gospel cruisers are borne by 
 the Home Mission Society. One of the cruisers can be operated 
 by a single missionary, the other requires a missionary and assistant. 
 These boats ply the waters of Oregon and Washington. 
 
 $1,400 to $1,800 provides the salary of each captain or mate. 
 
 International Seminary 
 
 The Baptists have had remarkable success among several nationalities 
 of immigrants, especially the Russians, Poles, Italians, Hungarians, 
 Slovaks and Rumanians. We have provided their preachers with some 
 training, but the time has come when there is a loud call from these 
 groups in America, and also from their original homes in Europe for a 
 more satisfactory training for their preachers and missionaries. It is 
 a great opportunity to preach the gospel and at the same time to train 
 in Americanism and to meet Bolshevism. The American Baptist Home 
 Mission Society has established a school which will include departments 
 for all of these races. 
 
 $100,000. A dormitory with recitation rooms. 
 
 50,000. Endowment of a professorship. 
 
 15,000. For immediate purchase of building to accommodate ten 
 Russian camp converts desiring to prepare to preach. 
 
 $15,000. Building or buying a double house for professors. 
 
 12,000. For building a four-apartment married-students’ home. 
 
 2,500. For establishing a scholarship. 
 
 2,000. For endowment of a library alcove in each of the following 
 departments: Russian, Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Slovak, Rumanian. 
 
 40 
 
Mexican Training School in California. It is said that a million 
 Mexicans are living in the United States. They are very numerous in 
 the southwestern states. Among them are a good many Baptists, who 
 need trained leaders. A school is being opened to train them tempor¬ 
 arily in Los Angeles, California. It needs: 
 
 $75,000 for a building 
 3,000 for current expenses for a year 
 
 New buildings of improved type are needed for educational, social 
 and other community activities. 
 
 $10,000 for Japanese building at Seattle, Washington; toward cost 
 of $25,000. 
 
 3,000 for Mexicans in Yuma, Arizona; total cost $10,000. 
 
 3,000 each for six other such buildings. 
 
 2,500 for Russians, Seattle, Washington. 
 
 2,500 for cosmopolitan building for Russians, Italians and other 
 groups in Los Angeles, California, toward a total cost of 
 $50,000. 
 
 10,000 for Italians in Providence, Rhode Island; total cost of build¬ 
 ing, $30,000. Two are needed. 
 
 5,000 for Italians, Ossining, N. Y.; total cost, $20,000. 
 
 5,000 for Italian Community Center, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; 
 total cost, $75,000. 
 
 5,000 for Italian Community Center, Newark, New Jersey; total 
 cost, $25,000. 
 
 15,000 for Chinese Community Center in the Bowery, New York 
 City; total cost, $75,000. 
 
 2.500 for Russian Building, Chester, Pennsylvania; total $10,000. 
 10,000 for Slovak Building, New York City; total cost $50,000. 
 
 The Society should spend not less than $60,000 annually for five years 
 in better equipment of our foreign-speaking missions and churches. 
 The Society’s gifts will be supplemented by large gifts of local churches 
 and conventions or city mission societies. 
 
 Undeveloped Racial Groups 
 
 $3,500 for salary and expenses of a general missionary among 
 Mexicans of southwestern states 
 
 3.500 for general missionary among the Chinese 
 
 2.500 for general missionary among the Russians 
 
 2,500 for general missionary among the Rumanians 
 
 2,500 for general missionary among the Jugo-Slavs 
 
 Negro Education 
 
 The Society supports several of the highest Christian schools for 
 Negroes: 
 
 Storer College, Harper’s Ferry, W. Va. 
 
 Virginia Union University, Richmond, Va. 
 
 Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C. 
 
 Benedict College, Columbia, S. C. 
 
 Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga. 
 
 Jackson College, Jackson, Miss. 
 
 Leland College, Alexandria, La. 
 
 Bishop College, Marshall, Texas 
 
 Without exception these schools are overcrowded with students. 
 
 41 
 
Three and four students are packed into rooms intended for two students; 
 recitation rooms are filled with cots and students. Hundreds this year 
 have been refused admission to almost every one of these schools. This 
 is our opportunity to give Christian education to colored people. 
 
 The salaries of the teachers vary from $800 to $1,500 a year. Desig¬ 
 nated gifts toward the salaries of these teachers will be welcome. 
 
 Storer College, Harper’s Ferry, W. Va., is overflowing with students. 
 Its dining room and kitchen are utterly inadequate, its music depart¬ 
 ment without rooms, its sewing room pitifully small, no place for 
 millinery. It needs: 
 
 $100,000 for a domestic science and dining building. 
 
 80,000 for dormitory to accommodate 75 young men 
 3,000 for repair of water system 
 
 Virginia Union University, Richmond, Virginia, is crowded with 
 students in its higher classes. Over 100 young men have been refused 
 admission. It needs: 
 
 $100,000 for a science building 
 80,000 for a new dormitory hall 
 40,000 for enlargement of dining hall 
 
 40,000 for professorship in theological or teachers’ training de¬ 
 partment 
 
 25,000 for endowment of library 
 9,000 for professor’s house 
 5,000 for paths and grounds 
 2,500 for scientific equipment 
 
 Shaw University, Raleigh, N. C., is growing by leaps and bounds. 
 A Woman’s Christian Workers’ Training Department has been started. 
 Enlargement is called for in many directions: 
 
 $100,000 for a science building 
 60,000 for girls’ dormitory 
 30,000 for Y. M. C. A. and gymnasium 
 15,000 for enlargement of teachers’ home 
 10,000 for new teachers’ home 
 
 Benedict College, Columbia, South Carolina, is deluged with students, 
 although the lower students are not admitted To the dormitories. 
 Hundreds have been turned away. It needs: 
 
 $80,000 for a boys’ or girls’ dormitory 
 60,000 for a dining hall 
 40,000 for a practise school building 
 20,000 for enlargement of a much needed hospital 
 
 Morehouse College, Atlanta, Georgia, is a great school for young men 
 for which the General Education Board has recently appropriated 
 money for a science building, teachers’ houses, and other purposes. 
 It needs: 
 
 $100,000 for a new dormitory 
 30,000 for gymnasium 
 40,000 for endowment for a professorship 
 
 Jackson College, Jackson, Mississippi, is developing its higher depart¬ 
 ments and is in need of several buildings to care for the rapidly increas¬ 
 ing students. It needs: 
 
 42 
 
$100,000 for college building, which is now badly crowded with the 
 lower grades 
 
 60,000 for a girls’ dormitory 
 30,000 for dining hall for the multiplying students 
 20,000 for heating plant 
 7,000 for professor’s house 
 
 Leland College, Louisiana, is about to be relocated and rebuilt. There 
 is an opportunity to build a school according to a plan carefully worked 
 out to meet the needs of a great state. It needs: 
 
 $100,000 for an administration building 
 100,000 for a boys’ or a girls’ dormitory 
 50,000 for the purchase of a site 
 10,000 for a president’s house 
 7,000 for a teacher’s house 
 
 Bishop College, Marshall, Texas, is in many ways the best colored 
 school of the state. It has far outgrown its capacity. Recently More¬ 
 house Hall, its lecture hall, was destroyed by fire. It needs: 
 
 $100,000 for an administration building and lecture hall 
 80,000 for a boys’ or girls’ dormitory- 
 
 25,000 for library fund, for salary of librarian and purchase of books 
 11,000 for teachers’ home 
 7,000 for married teachers’ home 
 5,000 for paths 
 3,600 for employee’s cottage 
 
 3,500 for physical laboratory 
 
 3,500 for biological, botanical and agricultural laboratory 
 
 3.500 for chemical laboratory 
 
 Latin America 
 
 Porto Rico 
 
 $9,575 for residence and lot for teacher in Rio Piedras 
 1,200 for eight annual scholarships for students at Training 
 School, $150 each 
 
 3,000 for a memorial or other gift to provide perpetual scholarship 
 aid for a student preparing for missionary work 
 60,000 for parsonages for twenty mission stations, at $3,000 each 
 11,000 for a church building at Juncos 
 4,000 for Loisa chapel

 1.500 for addition to chapel at Rio Piedras 
 
 Cuba 
 
 We have probably the most successful Protestant school in the Island 
 of Cuba—the Colegios Internacionales at Cristo. It has 300 students, 
 many of them from the best families. It has a remarkable opportunity 
 to fashion Cuban ideals and life. The Institute or College department 
 is large and strong. The school has the confidence of all parties. In 
 the last rebellion both sides protected this school from harm. It ought 
 to be made for Cuba what Robert College has been for Turkey. Its 
 buildings are crowded: 15 cots in one recitation room, 11 in another, 
 29 boys in an old gymnasium, besides all bedrooms being crowded. 
 Its needs today are: 
 
 43 
 
$80,000 for administration building and lecture hall 
 80,000 for dormitory 
 8,000 for residence for president 
 5,000 for residence for teacher 
 3,000 for one scholarship (Ten are needed) 
 
 2,000 toward a suitable residence for the town pastors. The other 
 half of the expense will be borne by the local church. (Four¬ 
 teen of these parsonages are greatly needed.) 
 
 6,000 to $8,000 toward primary school buildings, costing $12,000 
 each. These schools are self-sustaining. From one third to 
 one half the cost of each school building will be provided 
 by the Cuban church. Eight of these are needed. The 
 towns where the need is most urgent are Guantanamo, 
 Bayamo and Ciego de Avila. 
 
 8,000 for more land 
 
 Mexico 
 
 $2,500 for addition to church at Mexico City

 60,000 for church at Tampico 
 .20,000 for church at San Luis Potosi 
 15,000 for church at Victoria 
 3,000 for church at Villadalma 
 1,000 for parsonage at Santa Rosa 
 
 Nicaragua 
 
 $20,000 for chapel at Managua 
 5,000 for chapel at Masaya 
 
 Salvador 
 
 $25,000 for chapel at San Salvador 
 100,000 for school at San Salvador 
 2,500 for chapel at Atiquizaya 
 20,000 for chapel at Santa Ana 
 
 Honduras 
 
 This is our newest field, our first missionary having recently arrived. 
 
 We must make provision for equipment, the purchase of sites, etc. 
 
 $5,000 a year is needed for this purpose. 
 
 The above are necessarily very brief suggestions. You will note that 
 there are objects that can be accomplished with $1,000. Others range 
 all the way to $100,000. We shall be glad to give further information 
 and even to suggest other of the almost limitless number of interesting 
 opportunities to bring the influence of Christ to bear upon this great 
 land of ours.

WOMAN’S AMERICAN BAPTIST HOME 
 MISSION SOCIETY 
 
 The field of the Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society 
 covers the entire continent of North America, with the exception of the 
 Dominion of Canada, including Central America, and the West Indies. 
 They have scores of missionaries scattered all over the territory, engaged 
 in various kinds of activities. They are now facing many new open 
 doors of great opportunities. There is practically no limit to the work 
 which they might do if proper funds were supplied. 
 
 Negroes in the North 
 
 The great migration of Negroes from the Southern States into the 
 North has created a situation in many of our communities which the 
 Woman’s Home Society has been quick to recognize. Experience has 
 already demonstrated that one of the very best methods of ministering 
 to these people in a strange land is through the Christian Community 
 Center. The Woman’s Society desires to build immediately five new 
 Centers. These cost about $10,000 each. 
 
 The Great Cities 
 
 The Community Centers have demonstrated their value not merely 
 in the Negro settlements, but also in the heart of the great immigrant 
 districts. The results which have already been achieved are plain 
 indications of the possibilities if many of these Centers could be estab¬ 
 lished throughout the nation. We ought to have one in the heart of 
 every great non-English-speaking colony. The Woman’s Home Mission 
 Society is cooperating with the general society in the erection and 
 maintenance of these institutions. Their plans for the five-year period 
 provide for the erection of at least 33 of these Christian Centers, the 
 location to be determined after careful investigation and survey of the 
 greatest needs. In order to erect, equip and provide workers, at least 
 $450,000 will be required. The Woman’s Home Mission Society will be 
 glad to correspond with friends as to the locations which are to be deter¬ 
 mined for them. 
 
 New Missionaries 
 
 If the Woman’s Society is to respond to the appeals that are coming 
 in it will be necessary for them to send out a large number of new 
 missionaries and teachers during the five-year period. It will be useless 
 to erect the new schools or Christian Centers unless we have the trained 
 workers to teach and to minister. The Woman’s Society, therefore, is 
 appealing for the sum of $127,000 during the five-year period, in order 
 to enable it to furnish each new building with a staff qnd to respond 
 to the pressing appeals for new missionaries. 
 
 The Negro Schools in the South 
 
 The women have long been interested in the schools which are main¬ 
 tained for the Negroes in the South. One of the outstanding institutions 
 among these people is Mather School at Beaufort, South Carolina. 
 The school is already over-crowded and turning away many applicants. 
 Domestic science has recently assumed an important element in the 
 
 45 
 
education of the Negro people. When the girls go back from Mather 
 to their country homes they carry with them higher ideals of home life 
 and better knowledge of how to maintain them. Mather must have a 
 Domestic Science Building, land for which has already been purchased. 
 The cost of the building will be approximately $20,000. 
 
 Hartshorn College in Virginia is greatly in need of new buildings. It 
 has entirely outgrown its present equipment. If this important school 
 is to continue its services to the Negro race the women of the North 
 must respond generously to its appeal. $40,000 are required for the 
 immediate building needs and $12,000 for nurses. The new building is 
 to be devoted to the girls’ preparatory school and college department. 
 
 Shaw University is one of the leading institutions of the South among 
 the Negro people. It has prepared hundreds of young men and women 
 for effective work among their people. A missionary training school 
 affiliated with the University is preparing the young Negro women for 
 missionary service among their own people. $9,000 will provide the 
 purchase of adequate property for this institution and give it equip¬ 
 ment. $4,000 will provide the new teachers. 
 
 The Strangers At Our Gates 
 
 The women can not fail to be interested in the large number of 
 strangers who are now landing at our gates. Immigration bids fair 
 to reach the high pre-war level within a short time. The Woman’s 
 Society is carrying on an effective work, teaching these new people 
 Christian ideals. Its Christian Americanization Department needs an 
 addition of $15,000 to its budget in order to make possible the larger 
 work that ought to be done. 
 
 Automobiles Multiply Missionaries 
 
 Many a woman has already discovered that her influence is greatly 
 multiplied if she has an automobile to save her time. The missionaries 
 of the Woman’s Home Mission Society have discovered this also. 
 $3,500 would provide machines which are very much needed by the 
 missionaries of the Indian reservations. They would be able to go 
 quickly from village to village to render service in teaching and healing. 
 They could also enlarge their reach to more of the sixty per cent, of our 
 338,000 Indians Vho are as yet untouched by the gospel. The new 
 Indian churches are showing a fine spirit and this work must not be 
 overlooked. 
 
 Latin America 
 
 The Christian people of the North have been very slow in responding 
 to the needs of their neighbors of Central America. We have allowed 
 their acceptance of a formal Christianity to dull our interest in their 
 knowledge of the true gospel. Recently, however, a new interest has 
 been awakened in the republics to the south. A large portion of the 
 territory has been assigned exclusively to the Northern Baptists and 
 the Woman’s Home Mission Society has already inaugurated an im¬ 
 portant work. Over half a million dollars will be required to erect the 
 buildings which are imperatively needed in the states of Nicaragua and 
 Salvador. 
 
 Cuba. The best school in Cuba is the International School at El 
 Cristo, which has a splendid reputation and a large student body. 
 
 46 
 
The girls are applying for admittance to the institution more rapidly 
 than they can be received. We must depend upon these graduates to 
 be the native teachers and missionaries of Cuba. To meet their needs 
 a dormitory must be erected at once. The cost will be approximately 
 $60,000. 
 
 Porto Rico. A Day Nursery means a kindergarten, a mothers’ 
 meeting, a trained nurse and kindergartner, and a missionary. Give 
 this combination a building and it becomes a Christian Center of 
 unbounded influence. Everything is ready at Ponce, except the con¬ 
 serving element, that is, the much needed building. $15,000 will pro¬ 
 vide it. 
 
 Today every self-respecting girl claims the right to a means of earning 
 her own living. Industrial work is now being planned by the Woman’s 
 Society for its mission at Puerta de Tierra. This school very much 
 needs a suitable building in which to carry on this community work. 
 $7,000 would make it a center of Christian influence in a large territory. 
 
 In the work in Porto Rico there is peculiar encouragement. By the 
 time our present missionaries have completed their work, there will 
 be native workers ready to carry it on if their education is encouraged. 
 One young woman who received a scholarship from a Baptist woman 
 is now a commissioned and valued worker for the Society. $1,000 are 
 needed for scholarships and $500 for a student fund. 
 
 Mexico. Now that conditions are more settled, our opportunity in 
 this great country is returning. Our teachers are welcome and our 
 schools are crowded with children. The problem of providing sufficient 
 native teachers demanded for the Mexican schools by the government 
 is a serious one. The Woman’s Home Mission Society has been com¬ 
 pelled to establish a Normal School at Puebla. A splendid building has 
 been rented which can be purchased at a figure far below its actual cost. 
 $56,000 will enable the Woman’s Society to hold the title to this prop¬ 
 erty. They ought to have it at once. 
 
 The school at Monterey is a native venture and has been a great 
 success in spite of the fact that it has been inadequately housed at an 
 exorbitant rent. If the Baptists would erect a new modern building 
 and give it proper equipment, this in itself would be an encouraging 
 inspiration to the young Mexican Christians. They deserve our hearty 
 cooperation. The future of Mexico depends upon its trained Christian 
 leadership. A new building can be provided at Monterey for $35,000. 
 
 Eternity alone can reveal the effectiveness of the varied work which 
 the Woman’s American Baptist Home Mission Society is doing in all 
 parts of the United States and in Latin America. The scope of this 
 work could be vastly increased if the financial resources of the women 
 were largely augmented. There are unlimited opportunities for the 
 investment of life and for starting operations that will bear fruitage in 
 precious lives for all time to come. Let us tell you more about some one 
 or more of these opportunities.

AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN MISSION 
 
 SOCIETY 
 
 Our Representatives on the Foreign Field 
 
 Northern Baptists are represented on the foreign field by about 250 
 missionary families in addition to the women missionaries supported 
 by the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. Of the 
 250 families, 125 are now definitely supported by individuals and 
 churches who are maintaining their representatives in the Orient. 
 The salaries of these missionaries vary according to their period of 
 service and the size of their families. $1,200 to $3,000 will provide the 
 support of a missionary family in the Orient. Many other Baptist 
 churches ought to have their foreign pastors. Missionaries will be 
 assigned on application to the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. 
 
 The program of the New World Movement provides for sending out 
 228 new missionary families during the five-year period. About 40 of 
 these have already sailed. This means at least 180 more must be sent 
 out within the next three years and a half. Our foreign mission force 
 is seriously depleted. Many stations are without missionaries and the 
 burden of work is falling heavily upon those who are left. Relief forces 
 must be sent over at the earliest moment. $1,200 will provide the salary 
 of one of these new missionaries. It will cost, however, $1,000 to secure 
 his passage to the field and $600 in addition to provide for his outfit. 
 A gift of $2,800, therefore, will provide for the sending out of a new 
 missionary family and his care for one year. $5,200 will provide for 
 this family until the close of the five-year period. • 
 
 Mabie Memorial, Yokohama, Japan. When this great Christian 
 school for boys was opened a year ago 326 boys applied for admission; 
 only 143 could be accommodated. The completion of the buildings 
 will make it possible for us to give a thorough Christian education to 
 600 Japanese men each year. In this way we shall touch the Japanese 
 men at the very threshold with the spirit of Christ. The first wing of 
 the great building is now finished and a temporary building has been 
 erected for the chapel and gymnasium. $300,000 is needed for the 
 completion of this great project. 
 
 Waseda University, Tokyo, Japan. Waseda is one of the oldest 
 universities in the Japanese Empire and now enrolls more than 10,000 
 students who come from all parts of the empire. Waseda has for 
 years been making a great contribution in the training of leaders in all 
 departments of Japanese life. The American Baptist Foreign Mission 
 Society has at the invitation of the University already established a 
 dormitories for boys who are students in the institution. Our 
 Missionary is doing remarkable work in the bringing of Christianity 
 to the attention of these college students in a tangible and definite way 
 and doing much to lift the moral and spiritual standards of student life. 
 The University has now requested us to build two additional dormi¬ 
 tories. One of these was recently provided through the Victory 
 Campaign. The other must be provided at once. The estimated cost 
 of this dormitory will be $18,000. 
 
 A large number of government students spend their vacation at 
 Karuizawa, where we have an opportunity of caring for many of them in 
 a dormitory which ought soon to be erected. This will cost $10,000. 
 
 48 
 
Shanghai Baptist College. The city of Shanghai is the political, 
 commercial and intellectual center of China. On a magnificent site 
 overlooking the river, in cooperation with the Southern Baptists we 
 maintain the Shanghai Baptist College. The campus is in full view 
 from every ship which enters or leaves the city. At the present time 
 402 students are enrolled. New equipment must be provided im¬ 
 mediately if the school is to keep pace with the remarkable development. 
 Students are attracted to this institution from all parts of China. The 
 graduates are accepted in the leading American universities like Brown, 
 Chicago, Columbia and Yale. To provide a Christian training for the 
 future leaders of China is the great aim of this institution. To make 
 it more efficient in the achievement of this aim new equipment is im¬ 
 peratively required. 
 
 Development of the Yangtsepoo Social Center, $10,000 
 
 Residences for missionaries on the faculty, $15,000 
 
 Residences for Chinese teachers, $7,000 
 
 Chapel, $50,000 
 
 Library and equipment, $70,000 
 
 Total in four years, $100,000 
 
 The new Haskell Gymnasium, the first modern gymnasium of China, 
 costing $23,000; the Evanston dormitory, costing $30,000; another 
 dormitory, costing $45,000, and the Science Building, costing $80,000, 
 have recently been erected. The college is destined to be one of the 
 finest educational institutions in the Orient. 
 
 Kaying Academy, Kaying, China. No school on the fields occu¬ 
 pied by the Foreign Mission Society has developed in recent years 
 with such startling rapidity as has been true in the case of the Academy 
 at Kaying, South China, among the great Hakka section of the Chinese 
 people. Eight years ago two or three dozen boys were gathered into 
 the school where now more than 600 are accommodated in such class¬ 
 rooms as can be provided in one small building and in other structures 
 which are rented from Chinese families. A gift of $30,000 has been sub¬ 
 scribed for the erection of a suitable dormitory. An administration 
 building, which would include classrooms, is imperatively required and 
 could be erected at a cost of $45,000. 
 
 Mong Lem, China. The Kengtung field in northern Burma has 
 had one of the most remarkable experiences of any of our mission 
 fields. During the last sixteen years over 16,000 converts have been 
 baptized and at least 7,000 were people who came across the border 
 from China. They are, however, too far from Kengtung to receive 
 missionary oversight and a new station must be opened at Mong Lem. 
 This will require entirely new equipment, including churches, schools, 
 dispensaries, etc. It is a wonderful evangelistic opportunity. $25,000 
 will be needed immediately if we are to take advantage of the situation. 
 
 Philippine Islands. Students’ dormitory at Bacolod, $20,000; 
 Jaro Industrial School Development, $200,000. A great opportunity 
 is presented to Baptists in the Philippine Islands Mission for reaching 
 the younger generation. A new dormitory and the adequate develop¬ 
 ment of the Jaro Industrial School are of prime importance if we are to 
 meet our responsibility in Christianizing the future Philippine leaders. 
 
 49 
 
Judson College, Rangoon, Burma. One of our great educational 
 institutions in the Orient is Judson College, which has now become a 
 part of the new Burma University. This will be the one Christian 
 college among 12,000,000 people. The government has secured a beau¬ 
 tiful new campus for the University and has assigned us a valuable 
 tract of land in connection with it. The government will provide one 
 half of the entire cost of the new plant. The Baptists of the Northern 
 States must, however, provide the other half. 
 
 The history of our mission in Burma during the last century has been 
 without a peer, but if this mission is to make a proportionately great 
 contribution to the new Burma during the next century it must be 
 prepared to turn out a large number of trained leaders. Therefore, 
 the new Judson College must be adequately equipped. Its needs are 
 as follows: 
 
 Library building, $15,000 
 
 Gymnasium, $5,000 
 
 Boys’ dormitories, $37,500 
 
 Ten residences for teachers, $30,000 
 
 Dining hall, $5,000 
 
 High school dormitory, $20,000 
 
 Classroom building, $30,000 
 
 Chapel, $22,500 
 
 Chemical laboratory, $12,500 
 
 Jorhat Christian Schools of Assam. Assam is the backward 
 province of India. Less than five per cent, of the people are literate. 
 Christian education is of the utmost importance for the physical, in¬ 
 tellectual and spiritual development of the people. At the Jorhat 
 Christian Schools 250 young men are now enrolled, some of whom have 
 walked two hundred miles to attend the school. They come from 
 fifteen different races and speak numerous dialects. Additional equip¬ 
 ment is now required to take care of the increasing number of applicants. 
 If the buildings can be erected this school will make a tremendous 
 contribution to the building of the manhood of the entire province and 
 in transforming the fifteen different races of poverty-stricken people 
 into educated Christian men and women. For the building of this 
 important institution the following amounts are needed: 
 
 Primary school building, $6,500 
 
 High school building, $10,000 
 
 A mission bungalow, $4,000 
 
 Building for Industrial Department, $10,000 
 
 Administration building, $5,000 
 
 Normal school building, $15,000 
 
 Kangpokpi, Manipur, Assam. Permission to open a mission 
 station at Kangpokpi, Assam, was granted Baptist missionaries last 
 year by the government of the native state of Manipur, and missionaries 
 of the American Baptist Foreign Mission Society are now given the 
 opportunity of preaching the gospel to a section of the world which, 
 up to the present time, has been practically closed to Christianity. 
 Evangelistic, educational and medical work will be carried on through¬ 
 out the 375 villages. Rev. William Pettigrew and Dr. G. G. Crozier 
 are now at work in this new field. Part of the medical work is to be 
 devoted to lepers and it is hoped in time to have a hospital with a special 
 
 50 
 

 force of workers for these people. Treatment will also be given tubercu¬ 
 losis patients. To develop this new work properly it will be necessary 
 to erect buildings for teachers, for hospital assistants, for translators 
 and clerks, four bungalows, a hospital building, dormitories for the mid¬ 
 dle English school, and church buildings, and to purchase other equip¬ 
 ment. This project will cost $80,000. 
 
 Houses for native workers, $1,000. 
 
 Mission bungalows, $15,000. 
 
 Hospital, $20,000. 
 
 Middle English School and Dormitories, $20,000. 
 
 Two church buildings, Imphal and Kangpokpi, $15,000. 
 
 Bhimpore, Bengal-Orissa. At Bhimpore we have a large and 
 important village educational system comprising sixty schools scat¬ 
 tered throughout the Santal field. The work has already outgrown 
 the equipment and if we are to respond to the opportunity we must 
 build new hostels, school buildings, teachers’ houses, etc. This will 
 mean an outlay of at least $40,000 to meet the present pressing needs. 
 If we are to take care of the future we shall need a much larger invest¬ 
 ment, but $40,000 is needed for the present requirements. 
 
 Jamshedpur, Bengal-Orissa. India has just embarked upon the 
 steel industry. The Tata Iron and Steel Company is erecting a great 
 plant. It is already turning out more than 2,000 tons of finished pro¬ 
 duct daily, and Jamshedpur, which was only a few years ago a small 
 Indian village, is now a city of 60,000 and before 1924 the company 
 expects that the population will have reached at least 250,000. Land 
 has been given by the company to the Foreign Mission Society and two 
 missionary families are already on the field. If the Baptists are to 
 render any adequate service in this great community we must erect 
 churches, mission residences, schools, dormitories, community buildings, 
 etc. The total cost of this project will be over $100,000. 
 
 Workingmen’s hostel, $10,000. 
 
 Mission residences, $20,000. 
 
 English church building, $50,000. 
 
 Community Hall for Indians, $50,000. 
 
 Indian evangelist’s quarters, $4,000. 
 
 Indian church and pastor’s residence, $10,000. 
 
 Europe. In Denmark the Foreign Mission Society is asked to con¬ 
 tribute Kroner 30,000 per annum (about $7,500 at ordinary rates of 
 exchange) for five years toward the erection of a training school, on the 
 understanding that the Danish Baptists will contribute a like amount 
 for the same purpose. 
 
 Almost under the shadow of the North Cape, far within the Arctic 
 Circle, the Baptists of Norway are establishing a mission for deep-sea 
 fishermen who go by tens of thousands to that region in the spring and 
 summer. The building, now under process of construction, will cost 
 $15,000, of which $8,000 is promised by the Foreign Mission Society. 
 
 In Czecho-Slovakia. Money will be required for the establishment 
 of a theological seminary at Prague. In lending assistance in Czecho¬ 
 slovakia the Foreign Mission Society plans cooperation with the Bap¬ 
 tists of England and probably with the Baptists of Sweden and Norway. 
 
 Help should be given in the reconstruction of church buildings in 
 
 51 
 
 i 
 
Poland and in other sections of eastern^Europe. where the years of war¬ 
 fare have resulted in such terrible devastation. 
 
 Church Buildings and Chapels. Adequate buildings for worship 
 are as essential in non-Christian lands as in America. When a church 
 in India or China has no edifice its work is seriously hampered. The 
 appropriations range all the way from $1,000 to $60,000, depending 
 upon the location of the church. This furnishes an admirable oppor¬ 
 tunity for some church in America to erect in the non-Christian world 
 a building which shall be the home for a sister church. Some of the 
 buildings needed are as follows: 
 
 South India 
 
 Donakonda. $2,000 
 
 Sooriapett. 2,500 
 
 Madira. 1,500 
 
 Nellore. 2,000 
 
 Kanigiri. 1,000 
 
 China 
 
 Swatow Institutional Church.. 60,000 
 
 Shanghai Institutional Church. 60,000 
 
 Japan 
 
 Shiogama. 6,000 
 
 Yotsuya (additional). 15,000 
 
 Kyobashi. 22,000 
 
 Osaka. 10,000 
 
 Mito. 20,000 
 
 Inland Sea. 10,000 
 
 Belgian Congo 
 
 Banza Manteke. 3,000 
 
 Philippine Islands 
 
 Jaro. 25,000 
 
 Mission Residences. Every missionary requires a home, whether 
 he works in Montana or in India, and he must have some degree of 
 comfort and convenience if his health is not to be broken down and if 
 he is to render the greatest service. The cost of residences varies with 
 the field, running all the way from $2,000 to $15,000. A large number 
 of residences are needed at once and specific gifts for this purpose will 
 be welcome. The Foreign Mission Society will be glad to designate the 
 particular location to any church or individual interested in the matter. 
 
 Automobiles. The value of the individual missionary can be very 
 greatly increased by the use of an automobile. There are thousands of 
 miles of the finest government roads in British India and the Philippine 
 Islands. One of our doctors who used to require eighteen hours to go 
 from Ongole to Nellore can now make the run in less than three hours. 
 Think of the value of those hours that are saved. A missionary now 
 makes a trip in the Philippine Islands in five hours which a few years 
 ago took three days. The cost of an automobile is approximately 
 $1,200 in the Orient and 75 new machines are now required. 
 
 The Ministry of Healing. The medical work on the foreign field 
 is one of the most important phases of our missionary effort. There is 
 
 52 
 
no door so effective as the door of the hospital into the hearts of men and 
 women, multitudes of whom are suffering from disease. Our medical 
 missionaries have rendered a most remarkable service, following in the 
 footsteps of the Great Physician, and they have been able to lead 
 thousands of people into spiritual fellowship with Christ. Hospitals 
 are needed on many of our fields and some of the hospitals are already 
 outgrown. 
 
 Several new hospitals are required in China. The exact location has 
 not yet been determined and it is impossible to give the exact cost of 
 each in view of the marked changes in exchange, but the American 
 Baptist Foreign Mission Society will be glad to furnish as definite 
 information as possible to any one who may inquire. 
 
 I lf you have read the preceding pages carefully you must have 
 noticed how much attention the Foreign Mission Society is giving to 
 educational work in the Orient. That does not mean that it is giving 
 less attention to evangelization. We have come to see that we can 
 never hope to evangelize the Orient with American missionaries. We 
 could not possibly send enough of them over to accomplish our end. 
 Little by little we are learning that the evangelization of the Orient 
 must be by the Orientals themselves. Hence our schools. An invest¬ 
 ment in one of these institutions, now, means an investment in thou- 
 
 J sands of preachers, teachers, evangelists and Bible women for gener¬ 
 ations to come. And these are the people who will take the Orient for 
 Christ. If you will give us the opportunity we will open a most 
 interesting correspondence that will engage the attention of your mind 
 and heart. In what are you most interested? Let us tell you more 
 about it, send you some pictures, or better still, send some one who has 
 been there, to tell you about it. 
 
 “If I have eaten my morsel alone,” 
 
 The Patriarch spake in scorn; 
 
 What would he think of the Church were he shown 
 Heathendom, huge, forlorn, 
 
 Godless, Christless, with souls unfed, 
 
 While the Church’s ailment is fulness of bread 
 Eating her morsel alone? 
 
 “I am debtor alike to the Jew and the Greek,” 
 
 The mighty Apostle cried: 
 
 Traversing continents souls to seek, 
 
 For love of the Crucified. 
 
 Centuries, centuries have sped, 
 
 Millions are perishing, we have bread; 
 
 But we eat our morsel alone. 
 
 “Freely ye have received, so give,” 
 
 Bade He Who hath given us all; 
 
 How shall the soul in us longer live, 
 
 Deaf to their starving call, 
 
 For whom the blood of the Lord was shed, 
 
 And his body broken to give them bread, 
 
 If we eat our morsel alone?

WOMAN’S AMERICAN BAPTIST FOREIGN 
 
 MISSION SOCIETY 
 
 The work of the Woman’s American Baptist Foreign Mission Society 
 is the ministry of the women of the Occident for the women and the 
 children of the Orient. Any one who knows the pitiable plight of the 
 women of the East must find a warm spot in his heart for this wonderful 
 work of the women of the West. In these pages we can only hint at a 
 few of the many ministries which the women are carrying on, for they 
 follow with a touch of the woman’s hand wherever the representatives 
 of the General Society blaze the trail. 
 
 ASSAM 
 
 Gauhati: Satribari Girls’ School.$7,200 
 
 This is a school built on the dormitory plan. Already there is a school 
 building, a residence for our missionaries and four cottages. The 
 amount asked for is needed to complete the auditorium ($800), to build 
 some small houses for the native teachers ($1,200), to build a fifth 
 cottage ($3,200), and for other equipment. The school now numbers 
 120 students. 
 
 Golaghat: School for Girls.$11,000 
 
 This school is like the one at Gauhati. More land, however, must be 
 purchased immediately ($500), cottages erected for the teachers 
 ($1,200), a weaving shed for the school ($300), and a mission bungalow 
 and cottages ($9,000). The school is now housed in temporary native 
 buildings. 
 
 Impur: Woman’s Bungalow.$5,000 
 
 This is for the work among the Nagas in the hills of Assam. Recently 
 two of our young women have gone to this isolated station to work 
 among the women and girls. These young women are now boarding 
 around with the missionary families, but must have a home of their 
 own. 
 
 Impur: Girls’ School. $2,500 
 
 A school building is needed for the Naga girls. They are bright and 
 eager to obtain a Christian education. 
 
 Nowgong: Building for the High School Department... $10,000 
 
 We have a fine Elementary and Normal School, the only one of its 
 kind in Assam, with an enrolment of 226. Although Baptists have been 
 in Assam since 1836 there has never been any high school for girls. 
 Such opportunities are afforded the young men, and now that the girls 
 are ready we should offer a Christian education which will allow them 
 to take a higher place in the homes and the schools of Assam. 
 
 Nowgong: Woman’s Bungalow.$7,000 
 
 The house in which our missionaries live in Nowgong is old, and unless 
 we expect it to fall over the heads of our missionary girls, a new house 
 should be provided in the course of the next year or two. At best it is 
 difficult to live in Assam, and a suitable house for our four missionaries 
 should replace the old one.

BENGAL-ORISSA 
 
 Balasore and Midnapore: Houses for School Matrons.$1,200 
 
 These are just small, simple houses on native lines, for the homes of 
 the Indian teachers. 
 
 SOUTH INDIA (TELUGUS) 
 
 Nellore: Purchase of Compound.$3,000 
 
 Our girls’ schools have almost crowded all other work off the old 
 compound at Nellore, so that it has seemed advisable for the property 
 to be owned and used entirely for the women’s work. 
 
 Nellore: Elementary and Normal School.$6,500 
 
 The enrolment of this training school consists of 125 girls, who are 
 preparing to become primary and kindergarten teachers. A strong 
 Christianizing agency. Repairs and remodeling should be done on the 
 old buildings and suitable accommodation provided for the kindergarten 
 department. 
 
 Donakonda: Bethel Woman’s Home.$500 
 
 This Home has been opened to care for some of the forlorn little 
 widows, who are capable of being trained for some useful occupation. 
 They learn to care for their children, to cut and gather grass, to spin 
 and weave. The little Home is still incomplete. 
 
 Donakonda: Girls’ School Building.$1,500 
 
 This is to provide more adequately for the 54 girls enrolled, who in 
 addition to their studies work in the garden and in the industrial depart¬ 
 ment of the school. 
 
 Kavali: School Building.$8,000 
 
 This is the school at the Eurukala Settlement. Of the 360 enrolled 
 300 are from criminal homes. Daily Bible class, Sunday school and 
 Christian Endeavor are regular parts of the curriculum. 
 
 Cumbum, Hanumakonda, Secunderabad, Sooriapett, 
 Madira, Markapur, Sattenapalle, Kurnool: School 
 Buildings.$60,000 
 
 At all these stations it is many years since any money has been given 
 for the girls’ schools. These are all very needy places, where famine 
 and cholera have made it impossible for the people to help themselves. 
 
 Woman’s Bible Training School. $30,000 
 
 To serve the whole of the Telugu Mission. At present the school has 
 no buildings or equipment. It should at once be provided with build¬ 
 ings and every facility for training women for evangelistic work. 
 
 BURMA 
 
 Prome: School Plant.$14,000 
 
 Prome is the largest center between Rangoon and Mandalay. The 
 
 city itself has a population of 30,000, and the district 400,000. The 
 school has an enrolment of 180 and with small, inadequate buildings 
 and poor equipment is struggling to keep ahead of the heathen schools. 
 If Baptists hold this Burman center educationally, new buildings must 
 be immediately provided. 
 
 55 
 
Moulmein: Dormitory for Talain School. .$1,500 
 
 The only center for work among the Talains, an interesting people of 
 Burma. They have done much to help themselves, but because of 
 failure of the rice crop and the high cost of living must have some 
 assistance. 
 
 Toungoo: Bungalow for Single Women Missionaries.$8,000 
 
 On the Paku Karen Compound there is no house for the women 
 missionaries. They must board with the other missionaries or be 
 homeless. 
 
 Namkham: Teachers’ Houses.$460 
 
 For work among the hill tribes, where education is in its beginnings. 
 These houses will be built in native style but are necessary as the 
 teachers must live on the school compound. 
 
 Sagaing: More Room!.$2,500 
 
 One of two things must be done; either there must be more room for 
 the girls’ school or a house for the woman missionary. The present 
 enrolment of the school is 156. 
 
 Taunggyi: Girls’ Dormitory.$1,000 
 
 Taunggyi is a beautiful hill station among the Shans, a most interest¬ 
 ing tribe for which very little has been done for the women and girls. 
 
 Pegu: Girls’ School Building. $7,000 
 
 Land has been purchased for a new school building. The present site 
 is in a poor location where it has been several times under water and the 
 building overcrowded. The school has 80 pupils. 
 
 Tharrawaddy: High School Building.$10,000 
 
 This school is one of the largest of the Karen schools. It has worked 
 for years with small, crowded buildings and poor equipment, and has 
 never received much assistance from America. Now the need for a 
 high school building for this fine school is urgent. 
 
 Sandoway: Bungalow for Women Missionaries.$5,000 
 
 What would a comfortably housed Baptist at home say to living in 
 an isolated place like Sandoway in an old, dark house with a thatch 
 roof, from which the scorpions and spiders drop upon the dining table 
 and the beds? This is the present situation. A new house is needed to 
 make two brave women comfortable. 
 
 PHILIPPINE ISLANDS 
 
 Iloilo: Bible and Kindergarten Training School.$50,000 
 
 There is no other school of its kind in the Islands, outside of Manila. 
 The present site is far too small. The building is an old Spanish house, 
 poorly adapted for school purposes, and too small to accommodate the 
 kindergarten department, which is in rented quarters an eighth of a 
 mile away. Needs: new location and buildings, including dormitories, 
 classroom, chapel, laboratory, kindergarten rooms, and gymnasium. 
 Wonderful opportunity just now! 
 
 56 
 
AFRICA (BELGIAN CONGO) 
 
 Banza Manteke, Sona Bata, Vanga: Medical Work $13,000 
 Woman’s wards in hospitals, and nurses’ bungalows. 
 
 Ntondo: Girls’ Dormitory.$300 
 
 A plain, brick house with corrugated iron roof where the girls come 
 in to school from their jungle villages. 
 
 Vanga: School Buildings for Girls. .$2,500 
 
 This is a new station where the girls are only just beginning to learn 
 the meaning of a Christian education. At present they are living in a 
 little mud hut. Two Baptist girls are living in that isolated town. 
 Why not back them up with suitable equipment for their work? 
 
 EAST CHINA 
 
 Huchow: Land and Girls’ Dormitory.$10,000 
 
 This girls’ school is steadily growing in influence and numbers. 
 More land is needed adjoining the present site and a dormitory should 
 be built at once. It has an enrolment of 50 girls. 
 
 Ningpo: Land for Riverside Girls’ Academy.$15,000 
 
 The city wall behind the site purchased for the new buildings is to be 
 taken down. A narrow strip will then become available for sale. It 
 should be purchased to protect what has already been bought. 
 
 Ningpo: Home for American and Chinese Nurses.$10,000 
 
 This is in connection with the hospital. The nurses must now board 
 some distance away. This is inconvenient and wastes energy and 
 efficiency. 
 
 Shaohsing: Dormitory for Nurses.$10,500 
 
 The nurses are obliged to live in the hospital, where there is neither 
 room nor suitable accommodations for them. 
 
 Shaohsing: Buildings for Girls’ School.$40,000 
 
 The present buildings are too small and overcrowded. There is only 
 one other small elementary Christian school for girls in this city of 
 350,000. What an opportunity if better equipment and larger buildings 
 could be provided! 
 
 SOUTH CHINA 
 
 Kityang: Girls’ School.?.$8,000 
 
 The present rented quarters are small dark rooms, opening directly 
 on the street and on the river where a nearby boat landing leads many 
 men to gather. There is no yard and the verandas are out of repair. 
 New buildings are urgent for this school of 35 girls, to which many more 
 will come as soon as there is room. 
 
 Chaochowfu: Land, and Improvement in Present Build¬ 
 ings of Girls’ School.$4,000 
 
 This school is located in the heart of this conservative old Chinese 
 city, part of a block already secured. About twenty small shops remain 
 to be purchased which now jut into the property. There is space needed 
 for a playground and enlargement of the buildings. The enrolment 
 is 60. 
 
 57 
 
Swatow: Girls’ School: $6,000; Land for Woman’s Center, 
 $15,000; Missionary Residence: $8,000. 
 
 This is for work begun in connection with the new institutional 
 church. The Woman’s Society owns no property but has already sent 
 a young woman to be connected with the work. She has no house in 
 which to live. 
 
 Kaying: Development of Work Among Hakka Women 
 and Girls.$50,000 
 
 There should be an enlargement of the present school building to 
 provide for the high school department just opened, land purchased 
 nearer the city and suitable buildings erected for a training school for 
 women. There should also be several day schools in the villages and 
 towns around to serve as feeders for the larger school of higher grade 
 in Kaying. The work waits for Baptist gifts and cooperation. 
 
 Chaoyang: Land and Building for Girls’ School and 
 Missionary Bungalow.$5,000 
 
 In this interesting city there is a well organized school for boys, but 
 nothing has been done for the girls. How long must they wait? 
 
 WEST CHINA 
 
 Chengtu: Union Normal School for Girls $10,000 
 
 The imperative need in West China is trained teachers for the schools 
 of that great province. In rented buildings of Chinese style, with almost 
 no equipment, this Normal School has struggled along to meet this 
 situation. Money should be provided for permanent, suitable buildings 
 in this capital city of Szchuan. 
 
 Suifu: Kindergarten Building and Playground.$5,000 
 
 A small temporary building has served the Cecelia Kindergarten, but 
 the time has come to enlarge the work and to show to the mothers of 
 Suifu the importance and significance of care and development of the 
 children. 
 
 Yachowfu: School Plant.$10,000 
 
 A few years ago land was purchased, together with several old build¬ 
 ings in which the school and missionaries are now living. These should 
 be remodeled or replaced by new buildings. An isolated city, and two 
 women there working without proper buildings and equipment! 
 
 JAPAN 
 
 Himeji: Land for School Building.$4,000 
 
 A remarkably fine piece of land (3j/£ acres) has come into the market 
 at very low figure. This is partly paid for and a balance of $4,000 is 
 needed. 
 
 Himeji: Gymnasium, $15,000; Dormitory, $12,000; Recitation 
 Hall Enlargement, $5,000. 
 
 Morioka: Land, $5,000; Mission Residence, $8,000; Kinder¬ 
 garten, $9,000. 
 
 58 
 
Morioka is in a district of 500,000 for which Baptists are responsible. 
 The kindergarten building is over one hundred years old. There is no 
 residence for our missionaries. Japanese mothers recognize the need, 
 and realizing what Christian influence means in their homes have 
 already contributed $750 for furnishing the kindergarten building. 
 
 Sendai: Land, $15,000; Dormitory, $15,000; Kindergarten, 
 
 $4,000. 
 
 In so many cases in our mission history, short-sighted policy has been 
 followed, for lack of sufficient money and land. The only direction 
 where this fine school (only two of this grade in all North Japan) can 
 expand is across the street. Land can be secured now. Unless there is 
 quick action taken it may be sought for a non-Christian boys’ school 
 or for military barracks. The present dormitory when remodeled was 
 guaranteed to last for five years. The time is up and a new building 
 should be provided. The enrolment is 130. Repairs will use up for 
 temporary relief what might far better go into the new dormitory. At 
 present the kindergarten meets in the gymnasium. This limits use of the 
 room for its original purpose and is unsatisfactory in that it is unattrac¬ 
 tive and not fitted for kindergarten purposes. A corner of the present 
 compound can be used for this building. 
 
 Tokyo: Girls’ Commercial School.$75,000 
 
 Japanese girls are entering business offices. They obtain indifferent 
 training in non-Christian schools of low grade. They live in boarding 
 houses of questionable character. They are without proper supervision 
 both in and out of office hours. Conditions are bad in every way. We 
 own a valuable site in the centre of Tokyo. Here the Woman’s Society 
 and the Japan Mission are planning to open in April, 1922, a school to 
 give the girls of new Japan a commercial training with a strong Christian 
 background, to fit them to withstand the temptations of business life, 
 to provide them with a Christian home out of working hours, and in 
 every way possible to improve the conditions under which thousands of 
 Japanese girls are now obliged to live. The plans which are being made 
 will provide for 400 students. The present buildings are old and must 
 be taken down, with the exception of the mission residence, which 
 must be remodeled and removed to another part of the compound. 
 This will cost $5,000. Other needs are Dormitories, $12,000; School 
 Building, $35,000; Chapel, $25,000. 
 
 Business men and women, attention. Christian women in the busi¬ 
 ness offices of Japan is Good Business. 
 
 COOPERATIVE WORK 
 Union Schools and Colleges 
 
 Baptist women have been the leaders in the establishment of union 
 Christian schools and colleges where the graduates of our Baptist 
 schools can be trained for positions of greater responsibility in our 
 schools and hospitals. Until these institutions are provided with suit¬ 
 able buildings and equipment, funds are urgently needed. These 
 demands, large though they may seem, are small compared with what 
 they would be if Baptists undertook this work alone. An imperative 
 need if the Orient is to be Christian. The following should be secured 
 for capital fund for land, buildings and equipment: 
 
 59 
 
Union Christian College for Women, Madras, 
 
 India. $50,000.00 
 
 Union Missionary Medical School for Women, 
 
 Vellore, India. 125,000.00 
 
 Woman’s Christian College of Japan, Tokyo, 
 
 Japan. 210,000.00 
 
 Ginling College, Nanking, China. 172,400.00 
 
 Union Girls’ High School, Hangchow, China. 20,000.00 
 Union Normal School for Girls, Chengtu, 
 
 China. 13,000.00 
 
 Union Medical Missionary College for Women, 
 
 Shanghai, China. 175,000.00 
 
 Union Bible Training School for Women, 
 
 Nanking, China. 10,000.00 
 
 Translate these amounts into rolling acres, classrooms, dormitories, 
 chapels, gymnasiums, laboratories, libraries—in fact, everything that 
 make a Christian institution worthy of the name. 
 
 Literature 
 
 No greater need exists before the Christian world than that of sup¬ 
 plying Christian literature to the Orient. Why should Japan’s book¬ 
 stores be lined with Russian, Norwegian, and French books? Why 
 should American cigarettes be found in every little village of China? 
 Why should India be flooded with sensational and propaganda papers 
 and leaflets? Why not Christian papers, magazines and books? 
 
 For spreading the ideals and standards of the 
 Christian faith. $25,000.00 
 
 A PRAYER 
 
 O GOD, we pray for Thy Church, which is set today among 
 the perplexities of a changing order, and face to face with a great 
 new task. We remember with love the nurture she gave to our 
 spiritual life in its infancy, the tasks she set for our growing 
 strength, the influence of the devoted hearts she gathers, the stead¬ 
 fast power for good she has exerted. When we compare her with 
 all other human institutions we rejoice, for there is none like her. 
 Oh, baptize her afresh in the life-giving spirit of Jesus. Grant her 
 a new birth, though it be with the travail of repentance and 
 humiliation. Bestow upon her a more imperious responsiveness to 
 duty, a swifter compassion with suffering, and an utter loyalty to 
 the will of God. Put upon her lips the ancient gospel of her Lord. 
 Help her to proclaim boldly the coming of the Kingdom of God and 
 the doom of all that resist it. Fill her with the prophet’s scorn of 
 tyranny, and with a Christ-like tenderness for the heavy-laden and 
 the down-trodden. Make her valiant to give up her life to 
 humanity, that like her crucified Lord she may mount by the path 
 of the cross to a higher glory. Amen .—Walter Rauschenbusch.

LEGACIES AND ANNUITIES 
 
 It is possible that this pamphlet may come into the hands of 
 some one who is interested in the work which we have outlined 
 but is not in a position to undertake at present as large a share as 
 he would like in this program. To such person we would suggest 
 the possibility of making provision in his will for such part as he 
 can not now provide for in a direct gift. The wishes of the donor 
 will be carried out to the letter by any of the organizations 
 where work is outlined herein. 
 
 There are many who require a generous income upon their 
 funds during their life time but would like to have their money 
 go to some great enterprise upon their death. Almost any one 
 of the organizations represented in this booklet would be glad 
 to receive a fund designated for some special object, and will 
 pay to the donor during his life or the life of another, a generous 
 interest and when the trust is fulfilled devote the residue to the 
 object selected by the donor. 
 
 The General Board of Promotion solicits correspondence re¬ 
 garding the work of any of these organizations or institutions 
 and will be glad to furnish the legal name of any of them, and 
 advise without expense as to the proper manner of preparing a 
 will or bequest.
