Itnntists to Decide Whether
: Money Is Equally Ap-
portioned.
Problems of deep v moment to the
American Baptist Missionary .union will
be taken up at the present session of
the Northern Baptist convention. One
or the questions asked will be, "Is h
- amount of money spent for the conduct
. of the work In this country too great
. for the amount sent to foreign sta
. tions?" The problem of the union's re
lation to the convention which has been
-considered very serious was settled by
this morning's session..
"We are the oldest Baptist mission
ary organization." said Dr. Fred P. Hag
gard, home secretary of the union and
. one of the most loyal and effective
Baptist workers, this morning. "Or
ganixed first In 1814. we have extended
our work Into eight different parts of
. the world, Burmah, Assam, soumern In
dia. China, Japan, the Philippine lal-
. a rids. Africa and Europe.
. - "During our past history we have
specialised on evangelistic effort, and
bare not laid particular emphasis on
;" education.' Hereafter while champion
ing aggressive evangelism, we shall
also specialise on educational work. Our
policy for the next few years will not
be so much expansion as to strengthen
. and make sure of what we have. We
are now supporting CIS missionaries In
the foreign field and our work is grow
ing in a way that surprises us. The
returns have been wonderful In pro
portion to, the amount of money ex
pended. There has been no stint of
loyal and consecrated personal effort.
Ar Making-Policies.
"Rev. Dr. T. 8. Barbour, foreign sec
retary, visited last year the mission
field of the union In China. Japan and
the Philippines. He has prepared a full
printed report of this Journey, the ob'
Ject of which was to confer with the
missionaries In their respective annual
conferences regarding methods and poli
cies to be adopted.
"Two years ago.1 President Woodward
accompanied a party which visited the
mission fields of the orient The Jour
ney was undertaken at the suggestion
of the laymen's missionary movement.
His Journey was In the nature of a new
discovery as to the scope of the work
and its possibilities.
"We are making a special effort to
; Impress the kind of . work we are donlg
on the delegates to the convention." Dr.
Haggard continued. Eacn morning in
Grace M. E. church a prayer service is
being held, at which missionaries are
introduced. These meetings are prov
ing most interesting and are largely at
. tended. Nearly 49 missionaries are at
tending the convention. In these meet-
ings misHlonarles give thrilling stories
of their lives and experiences.
"Mr. Woodward gives a large amount
of time and money to missionary serv
ice. He is a member of the Interna
tional committee of the Y. M. C. A.,
which also sends out missionaries or
secretaries. He is planning to visit the
mfssions of the union next yesr, and
; will be accompanied by John Slewon,
a prominent layman of Washington. D.
C, who 4s in the forefront of the lay
men's missionary movement, and who
will speak in the men's meeting on
Tuesday evening. Mr. Slewon la a Con-
- gregationallst."
