Mobile Schools to
Operate
By Walter M. Gilmore
Raleigh—On account of the continued prevalence of influenza
throughout the State, the 11 mobile schools, which were staged to be held next
week March 8-12, at the following places: Wilmington, Hertford, Henderson,
Scotland Neck, Maxton, Sylva, Marshall, Mooresville, North Wilkesboro,
Burlington and Newton—have been called off temporarily, according to
information sent out from headquarters here today.
A second and much larger series of these mobile schools will
be held July 19-23. Dr. W.R. Cullom of Raleigh, who is the general director of
these schools this year, is planning to mobilize and train the Baptist forces
of the State in this July series of schools on a scale hitherto untried.
Following up the great financial campaign of last fall which
resulted in raising more than $90 million in subscriptions for benevolent
purposes outside of home church expenses, the Baptists of the South are now
putting on an evangelist campaign of similar proportions.
Dr. Walter N. Johnson, secretary of the Board of Missions of
the Baptist State Convention, and Dr. W.R. Cullom, who was associated with him
as State organizer in the $75 Million Campaign, are arranging for a number of
conferences in different sections of the State with a view to working out the
details of the big campaign in this State and to put the supreme importance on
the movement of the hearts of the leaders of the denomination.
