Raleigh, Nov. 22—Every wheel in every Baptist Church in North Carolina is supposed to begin to turn tomorrow with a view to winding up the $75 Million Campaign in this state by November 30, when the 1925 unified program will be launched. In other words, all the organizations in the 2,200 churches in the state are supposed to get busy tomorrow and finish up what remains to be collected of the 75 Million Campaign pledges taken five years ago. At least $400,000 must be raised next week if the churches measure up to what will be required to meet obligations on the various agencies and institutions of the denomination. Of this amount at least $100,000 will go to the Thomasville Orphanage as a Thanksgiving offering, which will count on the pledge. The custom of giving at this time the price of one day’s work to the orphanage has become quite common among Baptists in this state.
