At Today's Rites
The 62d annual meeting of the
District of Columbia Baptist Con
vention was brought to a close to
day with a Thanksgiving service in
the Fist Baptist Church, Sixteenth
and O streets N.W. The Rev. Dr.
L. R. Scarborough, president of
the Southern Baptist Convention,
preached the sermon.
In an address last night before
the local convention, at which "Men
and Missions” was the theme. Dr.
Scarborough declared the evangelis
tic campaign inaugurated by the
Southern Baptist Convention had
resulted in 52,000 more baptisms
during the last year than in the
previous year. The movement, he
said, had “lifted everything else and
made itself felt in every line of
church activity.” ✓
Other speakers last night were
Romaine C. Hassrick of Philadel
phia, president of the National
