Call to Baptist Laymen, Dear Brother: In the name of our Master, we ask your earnest, prayer ful consideration of this call to at tend our laymen's mass-meeting Sun day afternoon, December 8, during the meeting of tho State Baptist Convention in Orangeburg. The meeting ls called by the undersigned Baptist laymen, to promote the Lay men's Missionary Movement in South Carolina in line with what is being planned throughout the South. We believe this Is one of the most Inspiring and promising of. the re cent movements for the extension of Christ's kingdom. Its Christlike spirit, its compfehensive purpose ana its practical plans have won both the enthusiastic approval and hearty co operation of many of our consecrat ed business men, and wo believe that many others will express as hearty endorsement when tno plans are pre sented to them. The movement has been defined as an "awakening of Christian laymen to the urgency of the Great Commis sion; an honest effort on the part of laymen to fulfill in the next twenty five years their Lord's command to preach the Gospel to every creature. Its aim is to induco the Christian layman to employ his influence, his money and his time in his religion iu the same practical, common-sense way thpt he does in his business or profession." The force of this ap peal to Baptist laymen was seen In the enthusiasm with which it was greeted in tho recent Southern Bap tist Convention at Richmond. South Carolina Baptists are known as a strong missionary body, but we have not yet realized our strength or fully recognized our obligation, nor will we do so until more of our lay men consecrate their strength to this great work of the Kingdom. Earnestly hoping that you will at tend the meeting and that you will enlist other laymen, Your co-workers in His Kingdom, etc. This call is signed by 41 promi nent ministers of the Baptist church In South Carolina.
