Mrs. Edward Brown is Forrest County Agent

Mrs Edward Brown, formerly Miss Grace Moore of Norfleld, has been named as home demonstration agent of Forrest County to succeed Miss Dixie May, who resigned during her recent illness.

^ Miss Susie V. Powell, head of the

home demonstration forces in the state, had the fpllowing to say of Mrs. Brown

"While the resignation of Miss Dixie May ae county home demon- stration agent was accepted with re- gret, Forrest county is very fortu- nate to secure the services of Mrs. Edward Brown, formerly of Brookha- ven. Mrs. Brown is a woman of ex- cellent training, broad experience, unbounded energy and real desire for service,

"After teaching in public schools for several years, she took special training for home demonstration work in summer schools at I. I. & C., at Tulane University and at the Uni- versity of Chicago, Mrs. Brown was in charge of the settlement work at Tupelo Cotton Mills where she or- ganized the settlement work, includ- ing the community club house, hot midday lunch for the operatives and a day nursery for their children.

"During the late war she was

aome demonstration agent in Attala county, where she got the county well organized and secured excellent re- quite. In 1918, during the dreadful influenza epidemic, when no public meetings or aemoneirauoiiB could be held, she joined forces with the aealth authorities and tpok as her special charge the families in the cotton mill district. The county aealth officer stated that doubtless .nany lives were saved through Mrs, Brown's ministrations. She came to he county first to spend August dayt with Miss May in the field so w tt jecome acquainted with the work and che people. When Miss May became ill, Mrs. Brown took hold of the work ind has met all appointments wljicb ..lise May notified her of. She hat jeen attending the state short cours< ind looking after the Forrest count] iirlfc as much as her field work would permit. She is busy preparing tb< county prize list and urges that th< TOmen and girls of the county mak<

I oarçful preparation for the fair.

Four Young Mississippians Sail As Missionaries to China and Japan

IIMMIIMMIUlia

sHveiss From the larger proceeds of the

Baptist 75 Million Campaign the For· •lgn Mission Board οt the Southern Baptist Convention has been enabled to send out more than 160 new mis- sionaries since that movement was

launohed, it Is announced, and of that number sixty young men and women, representing fourteen states, have just sailed for China, Japan, Africa, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. In addition to these, Dr. and Mrs. Everett Olll of Kansas City will sail September 14 to become representatives of the Board In Europe, while Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Hamlett of Austin", Texas, have Just ■ailed for Jerusalem, where they will maintain headquarters in acting as the Near East representatives of the Board.

The new missionaries to China and Japan sailed from Seattle, Saturday, August 27, on the Hawkeye State of the Admirait Line, while those for Bra- •11, Argentina, Chile and Africa sailed from New York on the Aeolus August 17, They will be engaged chiefly in evangelistic, educational, medical and agricultural work and will be sta-

tioned at various points In these fields. T^hlle a large number of new workers have been sent out by (he Board itnqe the beginning of the Campaign, at least 100 other capable young men and women could be employed to advant- age if they were available, Secretary ϊ. F. Love advises.

Mission Money Qet· Result·. Of the more than $25,00b,G00 that

has been collected in cash on the 75 Million Campaign to date, about 95,- 000,000 has gone to foreign missions. This has made It possible not only to strengthen the old work on all fields and employ a large number of new

missionaries, bat to do much other work, Including building or making substantial additions to 16 boys' ichools, 17 girls' schools, 87 mission residences, five hospital» and dlspen- taries, four light and power plants for mission compound·, 26 church build- ings, four colleges, seven theological seminaries. In addition, assistance has been given seven church building loan associations, six new stations have been opaned and equipped, land has been bought for the enlargement of several mission oompounds, a home for orphans In Italy has been established, and a block of ground has been pur- chased in the heart of Rome for head- luarters for the work in Italy, a theo- logical seminary, publishing house, shurch and mission reeideuoe being provided on this property.

Enlarge European Field. As a result of the Campaign,-South-

ern Baptists have been enabled to greatly enlarge their work in Europe, rhey have carried on mission work In Italy since 1870, but now they have opened up new work in Jugo-Slavia, Hungary and Roumanla, and have made ι beginning, through the distribution 3f Bibles, in the Ukraine and Southern Russia and Siberia. To act as the European representatives of the Board In this enlarged program, Dr. and Mrs. Everett Gill of Kansas City were re-

sently named. They will probably make their headquarters in Switzer- land.

The first work Southern Baptists have ever done looking to the evangel- ization of Mohammedan lands has just been undertaken in Palestine and 3yrla, and Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Hamlett }f Austin, Texas, have gone to Jeru- salem, where they will superintend

th· work of the native evangel lite. It la planned to establish a

church, theological seminary and ool- lege, hospital and orphanage at Jeru· lalem aa soon as practicable and tli seek to reach other pointe In Pal tine and Syria from this center.

Minister to 900,000,000 People. With the enlarged foreign mission

program of Southern Baptists thàt de- nomination is now operating in 18 countries on every side of the globe,i emd has in its employ practically 600 Foreign missionaries and «twice that ; Dumber of native workers trained In the mission schools. Through Its) present missionary operations the Board Is seeking to minister to 475,·) D00.000 yellow people, 4,000,000 brown! people, 200,000,000 black people aad 225,000,000 white people, making & total of 900,000,000 people, or more than half the population of the glob·. Numbered among its workers already on the field are 21 foreign physicians and 8 foreign mission nurses who last year gave 154,070 treatments. There are now 611 fission churches on the. Foreign fields and of this number 184 are self-supporting. The average con- tributions of these mission churches last year to denominational causes was |5 per member, the Christians on the Foreign fields responding more liber- ally as a result of the 78 Million Cam- paign.

The new missionaries sailing at this time were contributed by the following Btates: Alabama two, Arkansas one, Georgia five, Kentucky six, Louisiana two, Mississippi tour, Missouri four, North Carolina three, South Carolina five,» Tennessee five, Texas fifteen, Virginia six, Iowa one and Pennsyl- vania one.
