Winning Success
Success is never born of a day. It
Is trie result of a process so gradual
that It comes as a matter of surprise
to ttiose who achieve it. Those who
reach the goal get there because thelt

Finding a Link
Since the name of George Ungers
Olark, conqueror of the old Northwest,
has sprung into prominence there are
many who claim some distinction be-
cause of ownership of a tiling Clark
once owned, or touched, or because an
ancestor fought with Clark, or because
Clark camped one night near an an-
cestor's home. Hut the strangest, and
not at all unusual of all claims, so
the George Rogers Clark memorial
commission says, is that of a number
of persons who Insist they are de-
scendants of George Rogers Clark,
when Clark lived and died a bachelor.

IN HOME MISSION BOARD’S ACCOUNTS
Honor Day is Set for Sunday, November 11, When Churches Are
Asked to Lay $953,000 in Cash on Altar for
This Purpose
In order that the Home Mission
Board of the Southern Baptist Conven-
tion may not suffer the permanent loss
of a single dollar, through the re-
ported shortage of Its former treas-
urer, Baptist churches throughout
the South are expected to lay a cast
offering of $953,000 on their altars
Sunday, November 11. This day
has been designated Baptist Honor
Day and the appeal for this otter-
ing made, by the Promotion Com-
mittee of the Convention, follow-
ing a thorough canvass of the situ-
ation.
m
DR. ARCH C. CREE
Acting Executive Secretary of the
Southern Baptist Home Mission
Board.
At the meeting of this large com-
mittee October 3, Dr. Arch C. Cree,
acting executive secretary of the
Home Mission Board, reported that
the auditors gave the sum ot $953,-
000 as their best estimate at that
time of the shortage in the treasur-
er’s accounts. Of this amount ap-
proximately $350,000, was taken from
the Church Building Loan Fund, the
auditor found, while the remainder
of the shortage is accounted for
chiefly through the sale of the notes
of the Home Mission Board to banks
in various Southern states. .Vhile
the Church Building Loan Fund is
the property of the denomination,
it represents a trust fund created for
aiding congregations in erecting
houses of worship, and the commit-
tee feels that the obligation to ie-
store the money taken from tills
source is just as binding upon Dap-
tists as the repayment of the bauks.
Need to Restore Full Amount
In ids report to the Promotion
Committee, Dr. Cree said the Home
Board expected to realize $50,000
from the bonding company and pos-
sibly as much as $150,000 from the
recent treasurer’s estate ultimately.
The bulk of this estate consists
of real estate, however, and it may
require a period of years for a lull
realization upon that. With all
these considerations in mind, the
committee felt the churches should
be asked to restore the entire amount
ot the shortage immediately and
the date for such offering was fixed
for Sunday, November 11. In the
case of rural or village churches not
having preaching services on that
day they are asked either to take
this offering at the Sunday school
hour on that day, or else tuko it on
whatever preaching date fails near-
est November 11. A goal of as
many dollars as there are members
is recommended to the churches.
Big Retrenchment Made
Drastic retrenchment has been in
the work of the Home Mission
Board, following its reorganization.
Forty per cent of ail current receipts
are being applied to the reduction
of the previous indebtedness of the
board, making it necessary to cut
(lie current operations to *»0 per
cent of the current receipts. All
special offerings from whatever
source are being applied to the re-
duction of the obligations at the
banks. Dr. Cree has secured the
consent of the banks carrying the
bulk of the board’s indebtedness
to carry the present paper at. a re-
duced rate or interest a little while
longer in order to afford the church-
es an opportunity to make a cash
offering for the relief of the board.
The Promotion Committee has asked
the Georgia Baptist Convention to
continue its loan of Dr. Cree to the
Home Board until the Southern
Baptist Convention meets in May.
The demand for a special cash
offering for making good the Home
Hoard’s shortage came from practic-
ally every section of the South, and
Dr. George W. Truett. president or
the Southern Haptist Convention,
and other officers expect to see the
full amount raised in a cash offer
ing November 11.
