Never in the history of this planet has there been such a mighty forward movement among the hosts of God's chosen ones. Now our joy exceeds the power of words, as we remember that 3,618 have been redeemed since this union.

Over time, it becomes more and more important because of the rapid strides in material development that bring so many unsaved within its pines. We are glad that Southern Baptists are increasingly appreciating these growing responsibilities. All that we give for home missions could be usefully spent only in the cities of the South.

They have done their best with the funds on hand, but during the past year they have spent less than $800 on DistrIct Mi5S10n:l. If we believe that Lexington IS the greatest need and the most strategic point, we would recommend an aggressive campaign and a concentrated effort to capture this city. Moved and Resolved that we have a place for discussion of Rehgious Literature next year.
