The Convention shall be composed of messengers from regular Baptist churches which are in sympathy with the principles and purposes of this Convention, and which desire to co-operate with other churches through this Convention.

APPENDICES

1. Doctrinal Guidelines (1970 Annual, page 61) Report of the Committee of Twenty-Five adopted, including the recommendation that the SBC statement of faith of 1963, Th e Baptist Faith and Message, be adopted as doctrinal guidelines for our conven tion.

2. Appendices (1967 annual, page 40) Resolution adopted that a search be made of the minutes of the convention to discover policies and interpretations which have been adopted in past years, and these interpretations and policies be added at the end of the constitution and by laws of the convention as appendices.

3. Church Ordinances (1965 annual, page 31) Resolution ad opted, Whereas, in the past, the most general interpretation of the New Testament, and the most general interpretation of the Word 'principles' as it is used in Article 3, Section 1, of our constitution, and the most prevalent practice of Baptist churches in Arkansas with reference to the church ordinances. has been what is commonly called "close baptism" and "close communion", and

Whereas, it is recorded on page 5 7 of the minutes of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention meeting in Fort Smith in 1937 that the Convention officially objected to the teaching of alien immersion :md open communion in one of our seminaries, thereby establishing a precedence for future conventions, therefore,

Be it resolved that the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, meeting in its 112th annual session, go on record as objecting to the reception of alien immersion and the practice of open communion, and

Be it fu rther resolved that we urge churches everywhere to re-examine the New Testament teaching on baptism and the Lord's Supper.

4. Federal Aid (1965 annual, page 43) Resolution adopted, Whereas, Arkansas Baptists have been faced with the issue of Federal aid to private institutions, and, whereas, many feel that the acceptance of such funds violates the cherished Baptist position of the separation of church and state, therefore, be it resolved that the Arkansas Baptist State Convention go on record as reaffirming our traditional Baptist position on the separation of church and state, and that we urge all of our Baptist institutions and programs to respect this principle.

5. Executive Board Recommendations (1963 annual, page 35) Voted that all recommendations of the Executive Board shall be published in the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine one month prior to the meeting of the state convention.

6. Book of Reports (1959 annual, page 28) Voted that the convention constitution and by-laws be printed each year in the Book of Reports for the convenience of our messengers. 24 1974 ANNUAL

9. Out-of-state participation by Executive Board staff (1953 annual, page 22) Voted that we recommend th e Cooperative Program as the best method of giving financial support to the Baptist work at home and abroad. We discourage any of the departments of our Arkansas Baptist work in accepting invitations to participate in the work of missions outside of our regular work within our state territory, at the expense of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention Departments involved. Further, we request our Executive Secretary of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and the President of th e Executive Board confer with the heads of all Southern Baptist agencies expressing our concern about the practices of asking State Convention departments to give employees to such efforts outside our state, unless expenses and salaries are provided for by the ag encies that use such workers.

10. Seating of Messengers (1949 annual, page 92) Resolu tion ad opted that this convention refuse to seat any messengers from any church that accepts alien immersion; practices open communion; or affiliates with any branch of the Federal Council of Churches, World Council of Churches; or any other organization similar to or growing out of such.

MEMORIAL MOMENTS

D. W. Stark

In memory of our number who have gone on during the past year to be with the Lord, we devote these moments for comfort to their families, and for renewed assurance to those who are still on the race track of the Christian life. Words fail in our effort to express our love for and our appreciation of those who have lived among us and worked with us. Going home they left their witness; service rendered by a Christian is never in vain. The first memorials to God's people, of which I have knowledge , were inspired by him as he directed the hearts, the minds, and the hands of his writers. I reviewwith you some of these memorial verses, along with others that give assurance as to our eternal abiding place with him. Hebrews 11:4, "By fa ith Able offered unto God a more excellen t sac­ rifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh. " Hebrews 11:5, "By fa ith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not fo und, because God translated him: fo r befo re his trans­ lation he had this testimony that he pleased God. " Deuteronomy 34:5-6, "So Moses the servant of the Lord died there in the land of Moab, according to the word of the Lord. And he buried him in a valley in the land of Moab ..." II Kings 2:11, "A nd it came to pass as they (Elijah and Elisha) still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses offire, and parted them both asunder, and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. " Matthew 17: 1-3, " ... Jesus taketh PNpr James. and John his brother. and bringeth them up into a high mountain apart, and was transfigured befo re them: and his fa ce did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And behold, there appeared unto them Moses and Elijah talking with him. " John 14:1-3, "L et not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, be­ lieve also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and pre­ pare a place fo r you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. " 36 1974 ANNUAL

Matthew 27:51-53, "A nd behold the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake and the rocks rent; and the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many." Psalms 23:6, "Surely goodness and mercy shall fo llow me all the days of my life, and I will dweli in the house of the Lord fo rever. " Psalms 17: 15, "A s fo r me, I will behold thy fa ce in righ teousness: I shall be satisfied, when I awake, in thy likeness. " I John 3:2, "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that when he shall appear, we shall be like him; fo r we shall see him as he is. " II Corinthians 5: 1, "We know that if our earthly house of this taber­ nacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternalin the heavens. " Revelation 7:9-10, " ...I beheld, and 10, a great multitude which no man could number, of all nations, and kindreds, and people, and tongues, stood before the throne, and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, and palms in their hands: And cried with a loud voice, saying Salvation to our God which sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb. " I Corinthians 2:9, "But as it is written, Ey e hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. "

This world can never give The bliss for which we sigh. It is not the whole of life to live, Or all of death to die.

Beyond this veil of tears There is a life above; Unmeasured by the light of years, And all that life is love_

The Author unknown to me. Not sure that the verses are word for word accurate. Thomas Moore, an Irish Poet, 1779-1852 wrote

Go wing thy flight from star to star, From world to luminous world as far As the universe spreads its flaming wall: Take all the pleasures of all the spheres And multiply each through endless years - One minute in heaven is worth them all!

Hebrews 12:1-2, "WHEREFORE seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set befo re us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our fa ith; who fo r the joy that was set befo re him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of :Jod. " ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 37

"Section 1. Ouachita Baptist University, 24; Arkansas Baptist Family and Child Care Services, 18: Baptist Memorial Hospital (Memphis), 9. Southern Baptist College , 18; Arkansas Baptist Foundation, 15."

24. Kelly Dickson, Charleston, moved to rescind action in a previous session to seat all messengers. Parliamentarian Carl Overton ruled to rescind would require a two-thirds majority and that to rescind would dissolve the convention and negate actions taken. Kelly Dickson then offered a challenge to the qualification of the mes­ sengers of the First Baptist Church of Russellville. The challenge was referred to the convention Credentials Committee. President Moore made a state­ ment that the First Baptist Church, Russellville, is in practice now as our other churches but that a former resolution of the church is in conflict with the constitution of the convention.

28. R. Wilbur Herring, Jonesboro, president, Executive Board, and Dillard S. Miller, Mena, chairman, Finance Committee, brought th.e Executive Board report. Dr. Herring expressed appreciation to the churches for the prosperous and profitable year and to Dr. Ashcraft, Mrs. Bjorkman and the entire Executive Board staff for their dedication and efficiency.

Voted: to Adopt the 1975 Budget (see page 60) Dillard Miller reviewed the procedures and guidelines for budget prep­ aration and moved the Executive Board recommendation of $4,294,047 for the 1975 Cooperative Program budget be adopted. Second and carried unani­ mously by a standing vote.

The messen­ gers were urged to help reach this worthy goal. Harold Taylor, Greenwood, led in singing "Priase Him, Praise Him."

29. The special order of business on the challenge to the messengers from First Baptist Church, Russellville, was called for. Kenneth Threet read the report from the Credentials Committee:

"In response to the protest against seating of messengers from the First Baptist Church, Russellville, the Credentials Committee re­ ports the following findings and recommendations:

"1. Your Credentials Committee has only sought, as servants of the convention, to disc�o ver the facts concerning the present practice of First Baptist Church, Russellville, under the leadership of pastor Jack Riley, who has served the church since January 4, 1974.

"After much time in discussion and questioning, we find the present practice of First Baptist Church, Russellville, is not in violatioil of the constitutional requirement for membership in the convention.

(See page 15). RESOLUTION No. 5. STUDY COMMITTEE ON MINISTRY

WHEREAS, The Arkansas Baptist State Convention has a memorable history, since the organization of the Convention in 1848, of concern for the ministers who labor within the fellow­ ship of the Churches whose messengers constitute the Convention;

WHEREAS, This concern for ministers and all other persons responding to God's Call to Ministry has manifested itself in the educational institutions of the Convention and other specific ef­ forts to "hold up the arms" of God's servants;

WHEREAS, There is increasing evidence that some pastors and others in Church related vocations and their families are ex­ periencing physical, emotional, and many other needs.

WHEREAS, There seems to be no unanimous consensus as to the kind of helps that should be offered nor the methods by which these can be utilized;

WHEREAS, Any such help must be implemented so that the basic and fundamental truths of the Scripture be uncompro­ mised, such as, bearing one anothers burdens, the individual priest­ hood of the believer; the Divine, Personal Call from God to Ser­ vice; the autonomy of the local congregation; and others.

WHEREAS, Some consideration needs to be given to helps that touch the entire process from which God calls and sustains his pastors and persons in other Church related vocations; ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 45

BE IT THEREFORE RESOLVED, that the Arkansas Bap, tist State Convention continue to have a lasting and vital concern in the life and work of pastors and persons in other church related vocations.

BE IT RESOLVED, that the Arkansas Baptist State Conven­ tion participate in the development of appropriate helps for pas­ tors and persons in other church related vocations, and their families in such ways that meet the careful application of the biblical injunction to bear one another's burdens;

BE IT RESOLVED, that the President of the Arkansas Bap­ tist State Convention be requested to appoint a Study Committee on Ministly , composed of four Lay persons at large, two Associa­ tional Missionaries, six pastors at large, a Religion Department faculty member from each of Ouachita Baptist University and Southern Baptist College, and two members of the Convention Executive Board. The purposes of this committee shall be several.

1. To survey available literature and current efforts being made in the provision of helps for pastors and persons in other Church related vocations, and their families.

2. To consider several approaches to help the above persons.

3. The Committee shall adopt a work schedule so as to provide for a realistic conclusion of the duties of the Committee in sufficient time for proper consideration of any recommenda­ tions to be made to the 1975 annual Baptist State Conven­ tion, through the already established procedures governing such recommendations to the convention.

Any recommendations from this study are to be printed in the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine at least 60 days prior to the 1975 convention meeting.

38. Following special music by Glen Blevins, Carlisle, and Amon Baker, Little Rock, the closing message of the session was by Cal Guy, Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, Fort Worth, Texas, "The Waiting World," a moving missions challenge.

ADMINISTRATION Charles N. Ashcraft, executive SecrlJtary

We are grateful to . Arkansas Baptists for the excellent Cooperative Program gifts during 1974. January through September l'eceipts total $2,891,618.56. This represents a 15.03% increase over the same period last year and is $130,547.57 more than our budget requirements. The executive board has voted that fifty percent of any overage in 1974 shall go as usual to worldwide missions through the Southern Baptist Convention and fifty percent to the funding of our Bicentennial Life and Liberty Campaign emphasis for 1976. The budget for expenditures of the Bicentennial effort will be made by the e:x:ecutive commi.ttee of the executive board. Gifts for special causes to this date amount to $1,422,390.08; $402,097.04 Ouachita-Southern Advancement Campaign and $1,020,293.04 to special mission offerings and other designated causes.

EXECUTIVE BOARD

R. Wilbur Herring, president, has provided good leadership for our Executive Board this year, assisted by the following committee chairmen: Loyd Hunnicutt, Operating Committee; James Griffin, Program Committee; Dillard Miller, Finance Committee and Harold O'Bryan, Nominating Commit­ tee. The study on church staff salaries in Arkansas was completed, compiled and mailed to our churches early in September. Many have expressed appreciation for this valuable information. The board has voted to move toward a new "full assembly" concept for our assembly at Siloam Springs, hoping to involve all programs of work by the summer of 1976 if programming and financing can be arranged. Continuing education has been studied and two actions have come from this work: one, favorable expression toward formulating a program of help for continuing theological education for pastors and church staffs, in addition to the present Seminary Extension program ; and, two, a policy was adopted to provide a program of continuing education for the executive board staff. The board unanimously affirmed that the Cooperative Program is an effective instrument of God to undergird our work and, in looking to the 50th anniversary of the plan in 1975, pledged to use personal contact with churches, individuals, associations, educational institutions, and through direct mail to make this challenge of world wide missions better known to Baptists of Arkansas. The Executive Board in a polled vote in September authorized the Board of Trustees of Southern Baptist College to borrow $180,000 to complete the new Fine Arts Building. This loan is to be repaid from Ouachita-Southern Advancement Campaign receipts, with interest, over a three year period.

Staff changes included the naming of Robert U. Ferguson director of the new Cooperative Ministries with National Baptists; Gerald Jackson became associate in Church Training; and Neal Guthrie was elected associate in Evangelism for pre-college ministry. Other actions of the Board this year include the naming of Erwin L. McDonald, editor emeritus of the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine ; the purchase of a motor home for the use of Clarence Shell and the Evangelism I)epartment; adopted gl1idelines on long term and short term investment Of reserve funds and authorized the sale of ptoperty in West Memphis to the National Baptist church now occupying the building under lease. The board also voted to authorize the executive secretary and wife to attend the Baptist World Alliance, Stockholm, Sweden, in July, 1975.

The board's attention will be focused in the years ahead on the expansion of the Baptist Student Union campus ministry and additional assistance in many areas to the churches.

Executive Board Recommendation to Convention 1975 Budget

This recommended budget which represents a 16.95% increase over 1974 has been formulated by the executive board through the committees with great care, and without the use of department reserve funds for the first time in several years. It provides also additional operating funds for Southern Baptist College. 60 1974 ANNUAL

ARKANSAS BAPTIST ASSEMBLY

Lawson Ha tfield, Director

The objective of the state assembly is to support the Arkansas Baptist State Convention in its constitutional purpose ... "to awaken and stimulate among the churches the greatest activity to evangelism, Christian education, and benevolent work throughout its bounds and to the ends of the earth; to cultivate closer cooperation among the churches and to promote concert of action in advancing all the interests of the Kingdom of God."

The program of the state assembly seeks to reach its objective by:

1. Providing facilities and operating the assembly as a service to the programs of the convention.

2. Offering training for church leaders, church members, and others of all age groups in Bible study, stewardship and missions.

3. Provide worship, witnessing and evangelistic opportunities.

4. Planning fellowship and recreational activities.

5. Encouraging all boards, agencies and institutions of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention to provide an informal meeting place for denominational leaders, and members.

6. Cultivating and training young people, our leaders of tomorrow.

A report and evaluation of the five 1974 assemblies follows:

The total registration of 4,896, is reflected in the following figures which are listed for the five consecutive weeks: 902, 918, 1,067,969, 1,040. This is 715 more than last year. In addition there were many visitors in the services each week.

The assembly program reflects a variety of study and fellowship opportunities for the many people in attendance. The program is designed in three divisions: a Preschool and Younger Children's Program , a Children '5 Assembly for 4-6 grades, and the Youth-Adult Assembly. Bible Study classes for young people and special studies and organizational work is offered for adults.

A large special choir produced "J oy", a contemporary folk-type musical for youth on Friday night of each week.

During the five assemblies 244 of those in attendance recorded decisions. Of these 192 were professions of faith, and 58 were surrenders to special service.

A new six room dormitory was opened for the 1974 summer session. A choir practice and counseling room was built and the choir and platform area remodeled.

Winterization facilities for 125 capacity was completed for use in the fall of 1973. 64 1974 ANNUAL

Through the fall of 1974 youth groups from associations and churches, and other groups have used the wintertime facility for short term retreats and meetings. Twenty groups totaling 1,360 campers registered and report their pleasure with the good meals and reasonable accommodations and the use of the conference room with wood burning fireplace.

A severe flash flood occurred the first week of June and brought much damage to both the city of Siloam Springs and to the assembly grounds. Fortunately there was no loss of life or injury. Due to the diligent management and hard work of resident manager, Gene Devor, the grounds were made usable for our assembly weeks.

Total expense for clean-up, repairs, gravel hauling and labor totaled $10,300.00. This cost will greatly reduce 1975 improvements, but hopefully the money may be replaced from overage given to Cooperative Program by the churches.

Improvement plans for 1975 include building a new five room dormitory and replacing the flood damaged blacktop walks and roads.

The last of the previously churched owned dormitories came into the possession of the assembly this year. Some have been improved and others removed to make way for new facilities.

Five weeks of summer assemblies are planned for 1975 with an emphasis on Baptist Doctrine and Freedom in preparation for the statewide Life and Liberty Campaign of 1976.

ARKANSAS BAPTIST NEWSMAGAZINE

J. Everett Sneed, Editor

The Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine has had an excellent year. As of September 1, there were 66,048 subscribers which is the largest number in its history. This represents an increase of 2,100 since last year. There are, also, currently 831 Every Resident Family plan churches, representing an increase of seven churches added to this plan in the last year.

The major problem confronting the ABN is inflation. Paper cost has risen from $165 a ton in 1973, to a present cost of $234 a ton. It is predicted that paper will rise to $260 a ton in 1975. It requires three and two-tenths tons of paper weekly to publish the Newsmagazine with our present circulation. Postage, also, has increased. One additional postage increase, not budgeted since it was not known that it would be authorized, came into effect in February. The budgeted postal increase for July followed. The postal increases will result in an increase of approximately $6,000 for the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine. We are now in the third step of a 14-year (previously a 10-year) program of postal escalation.

To offset these substantial costs, we have secured a new printing contract at the lowest possible annual rate. We are further requesting that the Convention approve an additional $15,000 of Cooperative Program money. This, coupled with the saving in printing cost, should enable the News­ magazine to meet these rising costs without any increase in subscription rates.

Each church is again requested to elect a news reporter so that the news may be rapidly obtained. It is our desire to provide a greater coverage of ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 65

church news through the feature entitled "News Briefs." This is to give recognition to such things as ordination of deacons, licensing of ministers, groundbreakings, remodelling of property, etc. It is our wish to obtain sufficent material to develop a page of these one or two-sentence statements each week.

The purpose of the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine is to undergird and strengthen the churches of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. Religious news of local, state, and national is featured. It is our goal to inform the Baptists of our state so that they may be more responsive to the cause of Christ.

In order to obtain a more complete understanding of the events which shape the life of Baptist churches, the editor has as a goal. to visit every pastor in Arkansas in the next three years. It is our objective to assist all the churches in their kingdom's work.

We wish to express our appreciation to the pastors and church leaders for the substantial increase in circulation which we have enjoyed during the past year. We believe the Newsmagazine is a real bargain in these days of inflation for the churches. Nowhere else can the churches receive the information they obtain through reading the Baptist state paper. 66 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

BROTHERHOOD C. H. Seaton, Director

Like a golden thread, missions is woven throughout the Bible. This is especially true of the New Testament.

Jesus, in His teaching and ministry, set the example of missions for His church. Missions is the challenge of a New Testament church.

Assisting churches in providing missionary education and involvement in mission activities for men and boys is the task of the Brotherhood Department.

Baptist Men and Royal Ambassadors are the two unit organizations utilized to provide an adequate program of missionary education.

A New Testament church cannot fulfill its basic ministry and leave out missions and missionary education. Christ urges His church to have a world-wide vision and missionary zeal.

The record for the year reveals Brotherhood work in one or more churches in all but three of the associations. 68 1974 ANNUAL

Mailing files in the Brotherhood office reve

The total enrollment for Brotherhood work was 8,645, as revealed by the associational reports. A spot-check of reports revealed some churches did not report their Brotherhood organizations in the Annual Letter.

We urge every Brotherhood officer to see that a report is included in the Annual Church Letter.

State Royal Ambassador Camps in June enrolled 300 boys. Visible results show 18 boys saved, 66 rededications, and 6 for special service. Eternity alone can reveal the real value of the camps.

Four hundred boys attended the Congress in May, and 350 attended the Fellowship Supper in November. Only 16 attended the Baptist Men's Encampment, but they were blessed and challenged to a greater involvement in mission activities in their own community. Plans for 1975 are already underway for the Baptist Men's meeting in March, the Royal Ambassador Congress in May, Royal Ambassador Camps in June, and the Baptist Men's Encampment in June.

The Brotherhood Department is available to assist churches in providing an adequate program of missionary education through Baptist Men and Royal Ambassadors. The two organizations are an unbeatable team for missionary education. As this report is being prepared, requests are being received almost daily, for material for organizing Brotherhood work in churches. The requests for materials include both Baptist Men and Royal Ambassadors. The Brotherhood Director has a busy schedule of leadership training in associa­ tions and churches for the remainder of the year. Also, much time is allotted for presentation of Brotherhood work, in churches across the state.

These requests for materials, training, and presentations indicate an awakening of the church to the need of involving men and boys in the total mission task of the church as related to the community, state, nation, and world, and training them to do the job.

For this new awakening and challenge, we are grateful. Call on us if we may be of service to you. We praise and thank God for the privilege of serving.

CAMP PARON

C. H. Seaton, Manager

Camp Paron facilities have had extensive use during the past year. Almost every week-end has been filled by various groups from over the state. The groups include youth retreats, choir retreats, senior citizen groups, young adults, and others.

Throughout the year, many departments in Baptist Building use the facilities, during the week and on week-ends.

The months of June, July, and August are used for Royal Ambassador Camps, G. A. Camps, Acteen Camp, and youth camps. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 69

Royal Ambassadors had an attendance of 309, with visible results of 101 decisions, including 18 accepting Christ. Total attendance at G. A. Camps reached 522, with 74 decisions being registered, including 26 accepting Christ. An infirmary for use of the G. A.'s was completed in time for the camping program this past summer. This is a very much needed and welcomed addition to the full-time camping facilities.

A new snack shack and camp store was completed for use during the camps this year. The building was constructed with free labor, provided by the Baptist Men's unit and older Royal Ambassadors from the Martindale Baptist Church in Little Rock. A conservative estimate of over $3,800.00 worth of labor, at the going rate, was given by the men and boys.

Hopefully, by the 1975 camping season, furnishings and additional snack shack equipment will be installed. Also, we hope' to provide some new playground equipment and other recreational facilities. Inflation is a continuing problem in the camp operation; supplies, equipment, utilities, and maintenance costs continue to increase.

Greatly needed is an auditorium and conference rooms for worship and seminar groups. This facility is needed for G. A., Royal Ambassador, and other Baptist Building groups.

We thank God for the blessings bestowed on the use of Camp Paron, and its continued growth. Many lives have been blessed and reached for Christ.

CHURCH MUSIC Ervin Keathley, Secretary

The purpose of the Arkansas Baptist State Church Music Department is to assist churches and associations in developing and maintaining music programs and leadership which will help them reach their most effective level in ministering to the people around them.

Arkansas Baptists reported the largest percentage of growth in Church Music enrollment of any of the states in our convention last year, having full-time music departments. The average growth for the convention was 6.8 percent over 1972, but the associational church letters from Arkansas revealed a record 13.0 percent gain in the music enrollment in our churches. This represented a numerical growth of 4,198 over 1972 and brings the total number of people enrolled in church music in Arkansas to 35,381. We praise the Lord for this increase and pray that we shall use Music as an effective instrument in all of our churches to share the good news of Jesus.

CHURCH TRAINING Robert Holley, Secretary

I. Department Tasks The priority task of the Church Training Department is enlarging and enriching the Ch\lrch Training Program in the churches of our state and establishing new Church Training Programs in churches where there is none. The three areas of the Church Training Program which we seek to strengthen are (1) church member training, (2) new member training, and (3) leader training. The basic areas of study for which the Church Training Program is responsible are (1) Christian doctrine, (2) Chris,tian ethics, (3) Christian history, and (4) church polity and organization. The Church Training Program, through well planned curriculum materials, also seeks to train church members to be effective in performing the basic functions of a New Testament church. " ... to prepare all God's people for the work of Christian service, to build up the body of Christ," (Eph. 4:12 TEV) is the concern of the Church Training Program and of the Church Training Department of your state convention.

The Church Training Department is also assigned responsibility for the programs of Church Administration, Vocational Guidance, Family Ministry, Church Library, and Church Recreation. Projects in these areas are planned and conducted in our state in cooperation with the Church Administration, Church Library, and Church Recreation Departments of the Baptist Sunday School Board. A number of Special Workers have been enlisted and trained to assist with these programs in our state. A complete report of these projects for the past year and-projections for the coming year appear in this report.

II. Review of 1973-74

1. Church Training Program (1) "CHURCH : the Sunday Night Place" has been a major emphasis of the Church Training Department during the past year. Launched in 1973, over one-third of the churches in our state have been involved in the first year of this emphasis. Many churches have reported increased interest and attendance in Church Training. We are now launching the second year of this emphasis. Our objective for 1974-75 is to lead churches to enlarge and enrich the total Sunday night program.

(2) A "CHURCH: the Sunday Night Place" Celebration was held on October 25, 1973 at Immanuel Church, Little Rock. Thirty-three associations were represented and over 700 persons attended the evening session for a presentation of the drama, "CHURCH: the Sunday Night Place and People." Approximately 200 associational superintendents of missions, associational Church Training directors, ap­ proved workers, and Executive Board members attended a banquet honoring Ralph W. Davis who completed almost thirty years as secretary of the Church Training Department before his retirement on April 30, 1974.

EVANGELISM Jesse S. Reed, Director

Dick King, associate in pre-college evangelism superbly planned and promoted our first Youth Evangelism Conference, August 8-9. Some of the most talented leaders in the South made up the program. The conference majored on teaching people who are interested in sharing their faith. Leaders were trained in W.O.W. (Win Our World), WIN (Witness-Involvement-Now), Reach Out, The Deeper Life and Basic Christian Principles. They are now qualified to go to local churches and associations to train and motivate youth to share Christ with their unsaved friends.

Dick is now associate pastor in charge of the youth at University Baptist Church, Fayetteville, H. D. McCarty, pastor. The 1975 Youth Evangelism Conference will be held July 31 - August 1.

Neal Guthrie began his work as pre-colfege associate September 1. His first work was to speak at our Youth Area Evangelism Conferences September 9-13. He is open for WOW schools and Renewal Evangelism on weekends. Neal is a layman and feels called to train high school and junior high school pupils to witness. He conducted a WOW school at First, Mountain Home and had over 40 young people in attendance. One of the requirements for a choir trip to Florida in August was to attend the WOW school.

COOPERATIVE MINISTRIES WITH NATIONAL BAPTISTS

Robert U. Ferguson, Director

National and Southern Baptists in Arkansas comprise three conven­ tions, 89 associations, 2500 churches and 525,000 members. The growing relationship between National and Southern Baptists in Arkansas preview a stronger Baptist influence in Arkansas affairs. In a day when public officials are looking for answers to the complex problems that face our pluralistic society, the Baptist churches of Arkansas need to be cooperating to the fullest extent so that Christ and Christian values are known to all people. The record of our cooperation:

One state and five associational JOINT COMMITTEES. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 79

LEADERSHIP CLINICS in 33 churches with 1810 enrolled.

Seven EXTENSION CENTERS with 162 ministers and laymen enrolled meeting in Little Rock, Fordyce, El Dorado, Lewisville, Helena, West Memphis and Hot Springs.

STEWARDSHIP-COOPERA TIVE PROGRAM

Roy F. Lewis, Secretary

At the time of this report Cooperative Program receipts were almost 17 percent more than those for the same period last year, and it appears that 80 1974 ANNUAL

1974 will likely be another record year in mission giving for Arkansas Baptists for the fourth consecutive year, and probably with the overage greatly exceeding that of the previous three years.

The three year convention-wide emphasis known as Operation One continues in its second year and is scheduled to climax in 1975 on the fiftieth anniversary of the Cooperative Program. In connection with this emphasis a Declaration of Cooperation will be circulated to all churches. Southern Baptists all over our convention will be encouraged to recommit themselves to the principle of cooperation that has made our denomination great and which takes tangible form through the Cooperative Program.

During each of the five program weeks at Siloam Springs Assembly, a dialogue in skit form about the Cooperative Program was presented. The dialogue was written by staff personnel and sought to highlight the strengths of the foreign missionary supported by the Cooperative Program , as contrasted with other missionaries who do not have such cooperative support. The-dialogue was well received by those in attendance.

The department continued for the second year the utilization of a foreign missionary as a missionary-in-residence. Mr. Sam Turner, missionary to Kenya, is serving in this relationship. Under the arrangement the Foreign Mission Board continues his full salary but relieves him of all other usual responsibilities while he is on furlough in order to serve through this department. His responsibilities include a number of matters related to stewardship but have been primarily in the area of Cooperative Program promotion. He has spoken in churches and associations and camps and in other special places, where he jointly represented both the Foreign Mission Board and the Arkansas Baptist State Convention. The ministry of Mr. Turner in this relationship has been exceptionally well received and has been most productive. Plans are being made for a continuation of this relationship in 1975.

During the early part of the year, the department secretary represented Arkansas Baptists on a mission tour of eight countries on three continents. The tour was jointly sponsored by the Foreign Mission Board and the Stewardship Commission and was designed to give state stewardship workers and executive secretaries a first-hand look at the utilization of Cooperative Program funds on the foreign mission field. Two staff members of the Foreign Mission Board served as tour guides.

The tour was primarily through East Africa but also touc.:led on two countries in Europe and Brazil in South America. Thf' p '>niences and insights gained on the tour will enhance the work of this department and have already been productive in relationships both with the churches and with the missionaries.

Additional steps have been taken to establish a closer relationship with missionaries on furlough in Arkansas. These persons are in a strategic position to aid in the promotion of the Cooperative Program, and this department is assisting them in doing so.

Stewardship in the churches and the associations continues to be most encouraging. At the time of this report five associations have conducted Stewardship Decision Nights, which almost inevitably result in increased stewardship in the churches as well as in the association and the Cooperative Program. This ministry will be offered to all associations that are willing to make adequate preparation for its use. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 81

Plans are being made to jointly sponsor a number of meetings and ministlies together with the Arkansas Baptist Foundation. With the coming of a new full-time director to the Foundation, several additional avenues of cooperative work are opened, which should prove mutually advantageous.

The statistical record of accomplishments for this department is reflected in the receipts in the churches and in Coop erative Program receipts. However, a more personal response comes from many pastors and associa­ tional superintendents of missions who express appreciation for help they are receiving from this department. As the churches succeed, so does this department fulfill its purpose.

SUNDA Y SCHOOL Lawson Ha tfie ld, Director

Our Objective

The objective of the Sunday School department is to support the Arkansas Baptist State Convention in its constitutional purpose - "to awaken and stimulate among the churches the greatest possible activity in evangelism, Christian education, and benevolent work throughout its bounds and to the ends of the earth; to cultivate closer cooperation among the churches and to promote concert of action in advancing all the interests of the Kingdom of God."

The Sunday School department seeks to accomplish its obj ective by helping the churches establish, conduct, enlarge and improve their program of Bible teaching. The Bible teaching program includes two major areas: Sunday School and extension activities.

Sunday School, the basic approach of the Bible teaching program, consists of age-graded Bible classes meeting regularly on Sunday morning, or, in some mission situations, on Sunday afternoon.

Additional facets of the Bible teaching program which are provided for organizationally by the Sunday School are called extension activities. The fo llowing extension activities may be included in a churches program of Bible teaching: Vacation Bible School, Weekday Bible Study, Bible ConfFrences, Fellowship Bible classes, Bible Study course, and new Sunday Schools.

Growth in 1972-7 3

A net gain of 3,376 in Sunday School enrollment is reflected in the 1972-73 reports from Arkansas Baptist churches. An enrollment of 215, 928 was reported by the Sunday Schools of 1,173 churches.

Vacation Bible Schools reported an enrollment of 91,716 in 879 church schools and 42 mission schools.

Our Program for 1973-74

In this year of emphasis assigned to the Sunday School department, li'eople-to-People Now and Shal'C the Word Now have formed the basis of the 1973·74 program. 82 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

Approximately 60 churches provide Weekday Early Education min­ istries. In conjunction with the state Missions department, the Sunday School department conducted a Weekday Early Education Workshop. Seventy directors and teachers from 22 churches registered for the workshop.

IV. Church Architecture Consultation

Through personal visits and correspondence, architectural assistance was given to 47 churches.

The 1974-75 Program

Share His Love Now and Reach Out will form the basis of the 1974-75 program.

The department will actively support the Baptist Sunday School Board's emphasis "Read the Bible Through in 1974-75." By following daily Bible reading suggestions in Sunday School periodicals, beginning October 1, 1974, individuals can read through the Bible by September 30, 1975.

In conjunction with the Life and Liberty Campaign in 1976, an emphasis will be placed on organizing new adult classes in every church.

Hello Baptists will be a program designed to reach unaffiliated Baptists and encourage them to move their membership to a church near them.

This will be a year of emphasis for reaching more adults for Bible study. 84 1974 ANNUAL

WOMAN'S MISSIONARY UNION

Nancy Cooper, Executive Secretary and Tr easurer During the year 1973-74 Woman's Missionary Union curriculum and activities emphasized Mission Support and related to plans of the entire Southern Baptist Convention.

Seven objectives were accepted and, in essence, were to strengthen and sustain the denominational program of world missions through interpretation of the three aspects of mission support: concerned praying for missions; sacrificial giving for missions; and creating a climate in which persons could respond to the call for mission service.

Traditionally, support of missions through the Cooperative Program receives priority. Special emphasis began with the launching of a churchwide Cooperative Program Creative Arts Contest in May, twelve months before the Cooperative Program's fiftieth birthday. Entries displayed in churches to highlight the anniversary observance in 1975 were judged at the National WMU Conference.

WMU promoted plans for Weeks of Prayer for Foreign Missions and Home Missions and initiated plans for Season of Prayer for State Missions. While program materials on state mission work were developed and plans were made for prayer observances in WMU organizations and churchwide, assistance was given by staff personnel of State Missions Department.

The Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for Foreign Missions, Annie Armstrong Offering for Home Missions and Dixie Jackson Offering for State Missions were promoted in connection with the respective prayer season. While WMU set the offering goals, the results were dependent upon support given by pastors and other church leaders. Offerings were administered by the respective mission boards.

Record high offerings received by the treasurer of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, Dr. Charles Ashcraft, were as follows:

Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for Foreign Missions $694,880 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for Home Missions 201,282 Dixie Jackson Offering for State Missions 110,615 In 1917 a scholarship fund was started by a gift from Mrs. George Bottoms of Texarkana. This was to assist young women studying for full time Christian service in the WMU Training School (later merged with Southern Baptist Theological Seminary). Later the fund was named the Lillian May Scholarship Fund in memory of one of two to first benefit from the fund and who became WMU field worker in Arkansas. Other gifts have been added through the years making possible aid for scores of Arkansas young women.

Two types of scholarships are available from that fund: one a loan for young women desiring to study at a Southern Baptist Seminary. The other is a gift scholarship for native Arkansans under regular appointment by either the Foreign Mission Board or Home Mission Board who desire to study for credit in seminary or college. This year a loan was granted Margaret Mitchell of Pine Bluff to study at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. And gift scholarships were granted missionaries Mrs. Harold Gately, Korea; Mrs. Jesse Kidd, Brazil; and Mrs. Milton Lites, Taiwan. 86 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

Establishment of another scholarship fund was announced at the Annual Meeting of Arkansas WMU - Nancy Cooper Scholarship Fund. It is invested by the Arkansas Baptist Foundation. Earnings will be used for scholarships for volunteers for missions or church related vocations studying at Ouachita University or Southern Baptist College. Preference will be given young women applicants. The fund was established in recognition of Miss Cooper's twenty-six year tenure as executive secretary and treasurer and in "the year of her retirement."

A missions organization for children predates other age-level ones in the WMU family. From that "small" beginning led by a minister we now have five organizations comprising Woman's Missionary Union: Mission Friends (Birth­ school age) ; Girls in Action (grades 1 through 6); Acteens (grades 8 through 12); Baptist Young Women (under 30's); Baptist Women (30 and above).

Age-level missionary education was reported in over seven hundred churches in our state. Enrollment will be determined from summary of associational letters not yet available.

Prescribed curriculum and established plans in church organizations and associations are promoted in regular communications to organizational leadership. Special statewide activities included the state WMU Annual Meeting held at Immanuel Baptist Church, Little Rock, March 19-20. During the evening session recognition was given Nancy Cooper "in the year of her retirement" for 26 years of service as executive secretary and treasurer. Testimonials were given by two scores of local, association, state and Southern Baptist leaders including the presidents of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, Don Moore, and of the Southern Baptist Convention, Owen Cooper.

During the closing session of the Annual Meeting, Mrs. George Tharel of Fayetteville, was elected president and became the twentieth woman to serve as state WMU president since organization in 1888.

In 1913 need was felt to divide the state into districts for more effective work. No formal organization is now recommended, however, Arkansas Woman's Missionary Union annually provides a day and a night meeting in each district. A mission speaker and age-level organization leader training are featured. Missionary speakers were Ed Pinkston of Ivory Coast and Gilbert Nichols of Paraguay. Last year attendance totaled 1,615.

Leader training is a recognized need and is given priority. Other training opportunities were offered in a one-day, statewide "opportunity day" September 12 at Immanuel Baptist Church, Little Rock. Conferences were offered in twenty areas of concern. "Head count" exceeded 620. The 95 pre-schoolers in the Nursery evidenced that many younger women are assuming leadership roles. State WMU staff assisted in 12 association-wide leader training efforts and in 22 local churches.

Age-level activities included three one-week camps at Paron for 3rd-6th grade members of Girls in Action. Registration was 499 with Julia Ketner directing.

Acteens (grades 7-12) "functions" included a one-week camp at Paron attended by 81; a one day "Celebration" for High School girls at Second Church, Little Rock, attended by 200; and a one-day meeting for Junior High ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 87

girls at Calvary Church, Little Rock, with 322 in attendance. These were under direction of Betty Jo Lacy, director of Youth Division.

WMU's bus ministry was expanded! Chartered buses were promoted to three convention-wide meetings. The first was for the WMU, SBC, Annual Meeting and Southern Baptist Convention in Dallas. Forty were enlisted for that trip.

The second was a bus to WMU, SBC, Conference at Glorieta, July 20-26, which was the result of overwhelming response to a bus to WMU Conference, Ridgecrest. When additional reservations could not be secured at Ridgecrest, the bus to Glorieta materialized for 32. Registrations revealed 14 other Arkansans in attendance.

The third bus was provided to WMU, SBC, Conference, Ridgecrest, August 3-9. Thirty-eight went by bus and seventeen other Arkansans were present.

The structure of Arkansas WMU includes six employees: executive secretary and treasurer (Nancy Cooper) ; director of Adult Division (Jane Hix); director of Youth Division (Betty Jo Lacy) ; director of Children's Division (Julia Ketner) ; two office secretaries (Frances Murphree and DeLois White). A full staff was maintained until the end of the organization year when Miss Hix resigned to become Baptist Young Women Consultant for WMU, SBC. By the end of the calendar year Miss Cooper will retire.

ANNUITY BOARD OF THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION

T. K. Rucker, Field Representative

Who decides if a pastor and other church staff members will have adequate financial benefits when they retire?

Answer - it's the church. The extent to which a church contributes to the retirement plan for its pastor and staff determines the size of the benefit.

In 1973, the Board disbursed a record total, nearly $16 million, to about 9,000 annuitants. More than 1,500 annuitants received benefits for the first time in 1973. The funds were paid out as age retirement, widow, and disability benefits. The Board issued another 13th Check, or extra benefit, for annuitants shortly before Christmas 1973. It amounted to two extra months' worth of benefits and totaled $1,187,379.

The Annuity Board reached a record more than $350 million in funds held in trust at the end of the year 1973. The funds pay benefits when participants retire, or die, or become disabled.

There are 19,680 churches and associations with 25,748 employees currently participating in the Southern Baptist Protection Program. The Board also administers life, health, and disability insurance plans for perslJns serving churches or denominational agencies. The insurance program is underwritten by Aetna Life Insurance Company.

The following Baptist agencies participate in the retirement program in Arkansas: 7 88�______�19��4�A�N�N�U�A�L�______

For the period of July 1, 1973 through June 20, 1974 the Annuity Board in Arkansas reported the following : 60 pastors signed up in Plan A; 5 basic applications and 17 upgradings in Plan B; and 5 persons upgrading in Plan C. There are 572 churches and associations in Arkansas participating with 708 employees. There were 21 pastors with age retirement during this period, and 2 with disability. Six widows received checks from the Annuity Board.

The Annuity Board's office is located in Dallas.

ARKANSAS BAPTIST FAMILY AND CHILD CARE SERVICES

Johnny C. Biggs, Executive Director This year marks the eightieth anniversary of the Arkansas Baptist Child Care ministry which began in 1894 at Bottoms Baptist Orphanage. Because of the concern, dedication and generosity of Arkansas Baptists, our agency has been able to meet the crucial needs of thousands of children and families over the years with a relevant ministry - an arm of the church reaching out.

Arkansas Baptist Home for Children -- The Children's Home in Monti­ cello is still the center of our Child Care ministry. This past year 79 children received care and direction by living at the Children's Home. Some were there for the full year, while others lived there for shorter periods of time. There were 35 new children received during the year and 43 youth were discharged during this same period. It is gratifying to see a child return to his family after both have become more aware of the needs of each other and committed to meet these needs. Many children come to us with emotional problems as a result of all the turmoil they have been through. In our program we try to provide a loving, therapeutic setting where a child can find acceptance and emotional support he needs to work through his problems to face the demands of growing up. We try to be a "home away from home" for those young people who must live apart from their own families and we seek to be the kind of home a child needs to grow up happy, healthy and wise. Work with the child's family is carried on while the child is in care.

Religious Life on Campus - Home Life magazine and Encounter and Daily Devotional Guides are provided for each cottage on campus to use in their daily devotional period for house parents and children. Vespers, a group meeting, is held on each Wednesday evening. The youth at ABH are encouraged to sing, share experiences and worship together during this time. Our youth with their house parents attend the three Baptist churches in Monticello each Sunday. We are grateful that eighteen of our youth made professions of faith in Christ this past year. Siloam Baptist Assembly was a rich, growing experience for many of our youth this summer.

Graduates - It was a thrill to see six of our youth graduate from high school this year. Four of these young people were from the Children's Home and two from our foster care program. Several of these young people made outstanding achievements and we are proud of all of them.

Sponsorship - Many people throughout our state have responded ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 89

graciously to meet the needs of our children through the sponsorship program. We had 146 sponsoring groups this past year and we are grateful for God's people who care enough to share with us in this ministry of love.

Building - Because of Cooperative Program support, we were able to complete plans for partial renovation of the old Administration Building on campus. In June, 1974, construction began on the administrative wing of this building and it is to be completed in the fall. This progress was made possible by the capital needs assistance from the Cooperative Program budget. We plan to fully restore this building as money becomes available.

"Foster Care, Group Home - Baptist families throughout our state joined hands with us in providing foster care for twenty children during this past year. Ten boys received care by living in our Group Home for Boys in Jonesboro.

Area Offices - From Little. Rock to Jonesboro to Fayetteville to Monticello, Arkansas Baptists provide a unique state-wide Christian ministry to families and children. These centers of activity are staffed by trained Christian social workers who combine their Christian faith and professional training in ministering to the tender needs of children and their families. There was a considerable increase in refen-als this past year with 652 new refen-als being processed through the area offices, representing a variety of personal and familyproblems. These new refen-als represent services to over a thousand individuals and much of the work with families complements the services that are being provided the children at the Arkansas Baptist Home for Children.

Finances - Nine hundred and eighteen of our churches contributed $124,197.31 to our Child Care ministry last year through the Thanksgiving offering, Mother's Day, church budget and other direct gifts. We appreciate these gifts. Although this was an increase over the previous year, it did not offset the increased cost of living touching all areas of our budget. We will need greater participation by the churches in the coming year to meet our increased budget needs.

One of the brightest stars in the life of our agency is the attitude of Arkansas Baptists towards our program. Many churches and individual groups have visited on our campus this year. Children and youth from throughout our state have participated in the Draw A Poster contest for our annual Thanksgiving offering. Twenty-seven associations and some churches have appointed Child Care Representatives who will assist us in the promotion of our Child Care ministry. One of our churches had a week-end of prayer for our Child Care ministry.

One of the best respones we have had this year has been through the local WMU's throughout the state in meeting special needs of our children. These funds are used for senior expenses, music lessons, and other special needs.

For those who are thinking about us and adding us to your prayer calendar, we want to say thank you.

As we compare our agency with the progress in the field of Child Care we are pleased to find those things that mark excellence in Child Care are already being implemented by Arkansas Baptist Family and Child Care Services. A study completed by Group Child Care Consultants of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, this past year confirmed this about our program in a comprehensive report to our agency. 90 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

We express our thankfulness to Arkansas Baptists for their encourage­ ment and support of our Child Care ministry. It is our desire and commitment to be good stewards of your gifts as we channel them into appropriate services that exemplify the compassion of Christ.

ARKANSAS BAPTIST FOUNDATION

Harry D. Trulove, Executive Director

Service to Arkansas Baptists is the keynote of the Arkansas Baptist Foundation.

The Foundation serves the convention as it receives gifts and bequests that are invested to provide income for Arkansas and Southern Baptist Convention agencies and mission causes. Thus an individual can know the joy of providing financial support to God's work 'til Jesus comes. It is like an everflowing spring furnishing a dependable and continous income to strengthen and enlarge Baptist ministries.

The Foundation serves churches by providing church program materials designed to develop distinctive Christian stewards. New Testament steward­ ship begins with individual development. These programs center in Christian family money management and magnify the importance of financial planning for the future in the proper distribution of one's accumulated possessions.

The Foundation serves individuals in the management of trust funds and by providing guidance for writing wills. In 1974 individuals were paid over $14,500 through trust arrangements with the Foundation. Eventually this income will go for the support of Baptist work as designated by the donor.

Responsibility for the administration of the Foundation is vested in its directors. The present board consists of nine members. Each is an active member of a local Baptist Church, and has a broad knowledge of the work of the denomination. Each is a leader in his own right having experience in banking, finance, business, and/or investment. Prudence is exercised in each investment. Every effort is made to secure maximum income with safety. No investment is made in any company associated with the alcholic beverage, tobacco, or movie industry.

During 1974 the office of the Foundation became fully staffed. Harry D. Trulove was elected Executive Director and Mrs. William E. Winstead was employed as secretaryfbookkeeper.

A service of a local bank has been utilized that enables funds to be invested on a day to day basis. This allows us to earn a good return on the money until a more permanent investment can be made.

During 1974 the assets managed by the Foundation have increased from $713,000 to $966,000. Of this, $92,000 is new money. The interest and support from the people and the agencies of the convention is appreciated.

The Board of Trustees make the following recommendations.

1. Approximately $500 a year is earned from undesignated receipts. We recommend that this income be used as a part of the Foundation's operating budget. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 91

2. In view of the enlarged opportunity and to allow for a wider participation of people, we recommend the By-Laws of the Foundation be amended to allow for the Board of Directors to be increased from nine to fifteen. The By-Laws would read as follows:

ARTICLE V

Directors-Method of Election and Term of Office

Section I-Directors: The Board of Directors shall consist of fifteen members. Five directors shall be elected for a three year term by The Arkansas Baptist State Convention during its annual meeting. The Executive Secretary of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention shall be an ex-officio member with full voting privileges. The President of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and the President of the Executive Board of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention shall be advisor members.

ARTICLE VI

Meetings and Extent of Authority

Section 4-Quorum: A quorum of the Board of Directors shall consist of nine members, and all matters properly coming before them shall be determined by a majority vote of those present.

OUACHITA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY Arkadelphia, Arkansas Daniel R. Grant, President

Ouachita Baptist University has continued to make progress during unusual times when the need for genuinely Christian colleges is greater than ever before, but the cost of supporting them is also greater than ever before. In spite of the trend of lower student enrollment in most senior colleges in Arkansas, Ouachita has had a healthy enrollment increase of 20 per cent from 1377 in 1971 to 1647 in 1974. Enrollment has overflowed the men's housing facilities and reached near capacity in the women's dormitories and the dining facilities. Non-duplicating enrollment for the twelve-month period reached a total of 2262. Steady improvement in the campus buildings and grounds continues to be one of the major results of strong church support through the Ouachita-Southern Advancement Campaign. Two-thirds of these funds have been devoted to construction projects while one-third has been earmarked for purposes other than bricks and mortar. The year 1973-74 provided a dramatic demonstration of the benefits of Arkansas Baptists working together. The beautiful new Evans Student Center was opened for use and dedicated to Christian education. It has not only become a social and religious center for Ouachita students and faculty, but has helped Ouachita to become a much more useful conference center for Arkansas Baptists, especially during the summer and other vacation periods. Lile Hall, a modern air-conditioned classroom and office building for Business and Economics, was also completed during this year.

Construction began in mid-1973 on the third building in the proposed five-building "megastructure," a new fine arts center to house the School of Music and the Art Department, and completion is scheduled for late 1974. With the sharp increase in construction costs, the decision to go ahead with construction of this building proved to be a very wise one. The much needed air conditioning and remodeling of Hamilton Moses Science Building was divided into three phases because of inadequate funds to do the entire job, and in the summer of 19'74 Phase One was completed to provide central air conditioning and a new heating system, and several other major improve­ ments. Funds are still needed to permit Ouachita to meet the competition of the beautiful new federally-financed science facilities on most of the state college campuses. A similar gap exists between the athletic facilities at Ouachita and the massive modern facilities at most of the state colleges, although Ouachita coaches and student athletes continue to work miracles as they preserve the Tiger's winning tradition in intercollegiate athletics.

Ouachita's existence still rests solidly on the claim that education is placed distinctively in a Christian context. The temptation always exists to make extravagant claims for religious accomplishments simply because no scientific measures exist to disprove such claims. Even so, the evidence seems clear that 1973-74 was one of the best years in Ouachita's history in terms of the working of the Holy Spirit in and through the students and faculty. Ml'. John Halbert provided creative leadership in his new position of B. S. u. Director and Director of Religious Activities, helping to make the new Student Center Building the hub of religious activities on campus. The voluntary Noonday services frequently overflowed Berry Chapel, and average attendarlce was close to 200. Students preparing for church"related vocations at Ouachita totaled 298, including 143 ministerial students, 35 preparing for religious education, 25 mission volunteers, 58 preparing for the music 94 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

ministry, and 29 preparing for youth ministry. A record number of Ouachita students served in full-time church positions in the summer of 1974, including 25 selected for summer missions and many more serving in preaching, music, and youth ministries. Ouachita again supported two "Contact Teams" for summer youth revivals, retreats, and workshops.

Ouachita requires of all students weekly Chapel attendance and six semester hours of Old and New Testament study. The missionaries-in­ residence last year were Rev. and Mrs. Charles Hobson of Paraguay, and they have been succeeded by Rev. and Mrs. Alex Garner of Argentina. In addition to the many pastors and laymen from Arkansas churches who spoke at Ouachita last year, an impressive number of outstanding Christians from outside the state were speakers at Chapel, Noonday, Christian Focus Week, Ministerial Alliance, and various classes. For example, Dr. Ray Robbins of New Orleans Seminary gave the Ralph Smith Lectures; Dr. Bill Pinson of Southwestern Seminary gave the J. E. Berry Lectures; and others included Miss Alma Hunt, Dr. Joyce Fan, Rev. Milt Hughes, Dr. Finley Edge, Katie Stokes, Ragan Courtney, Cynthia Clawson, VernardJohnson, "Ed Seabough, Dr. Duke McCall, Bill and Linda Cates, the "Jeremiah People," "Grain" (the Foreign Mission Board singing group), Dr. Milton Ferguson, and Norm Evans (who, along with other members of "Athletes in Action," was not permitted to give his Christian testimony in the public schools of the Little Rock area) . This was a powerful year for impact of outstanding Christian personalities on the lives of Ouachita students.

Progress in academic excellence also came in 1973-74. An unusual new general education curriculum was instituted, using a module approach that gives the student a great deal more choice and involves a larger number of faculty members teaching in areas of their specialty. A report of the National Merit Scholarship Foundation revealed that only two schools in Arkansas had more student winners of National Merit Scholarships than Ouachita. The drama written and directed by Ouachita's Dennis Holt, "The Last Bouquet," won first place in the Arkansas Collegiate Theatre Festival, and ranked high in the regional competition in Fort Worth against major universities from other states. His play was a moving presentation of the story of a Hungarian freedom fighter imprisoned by the Communist government. The establish­ ment of the Edward Maddox Public Affairs Center at Ouachita will soon begin to make possible more effective teaching of both the realism and the idealism of government and politics in the modern world. The Public Opinion Research Center is helping students understand and become more involved in the community and its needs. Ouachita's Water Chemistry Research Program gives students a practical view of current movements for environmental protection. Upward Bound and the Academic Skills Development Programs are both aimed at helping uncover neglected skills and talents, and lighting a spark of motivation previously not there. The ATAC Center provides consultant assistance, workshops, and seminars, for public schools that request help in improving interracial teaching and learning. Ouachita's cooperation with Henderson State College continues to have real educational benefits for both institutions, without in any way sacrificing the distinctive qualities of either school. This includes a library union card catalog system giving students on both campuses access to more than 200,000 volumes, rather than the 100,000 on just one campus; a joint Artists-in-Schools Program; a Poet-in-Residence Program ; and a Speech Pathology Program. A special highlight of the year was the selection of the Ouachitones in a national competition by Ambassadors for Friendship to make a concert tour of Romania in the early summer of 1974. These 18 girls under the direction of Mrs. Mary Shambarger were fine representatives of Christ, as well as of ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 95

their school and country, in this tour of a Communist country. In spite of the usual restrictions on freedom, they enjoyed visits and Christian fellowship in two Baptist churches in Romania, and gave their personal Bibles to one church said to have only four Bibles which were kept locked in a vault. Arkansas Baptists need to know that the cost of maintaining and strengthening an institution like Ouachita continues to be high, and the needs continue to be great. Four of the most acute needs for increased annual financial support are as follows: (1) The cost of inflation - the cost of electricity and gas is expected to jump by more than $100,000 over the amount budgeted for the current year; food will increase more than $30,000, custodial services $10,000, and the minimum wage increase $15,000. Inflation accounts for much of the budget increase from $3,840 ,936 in 1973-74 to $4,339,943 in 1974-75. (2) The continuing problem of low faculty salaries - the "treadmill problem" of trying to catch up with faculty salaries at the state colleges can only be solved by an increase of between $200,000 and $300,000 in Ouachita's annual income. (3) The increasing cost of maintaining old and inadquate buildings - in spite of our dramatic progress in new construction at Ouachita, we still have too many old and inadequate buildings with costly maintenance on badly worn and defective wiring and plumbing systems, roofs, and foundations. An urgently needed replacement of water circulation pipes and boiler for heating and cooling O. C. Bailey Dormitory will cost an estimated $62,000, but the money is nowhere in sight. (4) The need to keep tuition as low as possible - in order to serve Arkansas Baptist young people we must keep our tuition reasonably competitive with the state colleges, but the pressure is great to increase tuition when income is not available from any other source. This is why Ouachita needs to share fully in the growth of the Cooperative Program income. It is important also that churches continue to support the special fund-raising efforts of the Ouachita Development Program under the able leadership of Dr. Ben Elrod. It is our firm commitment to dedicate every dollar that comes to Ouachita, whether through the Cooperative Program, the Ouachita-Southern Advancement Campaign, individual gifts, wills, foundation grants, or any other source, to the cause of providing Christian education for Baptist young people in Arkansas.

SOUTHERN BAPTIST COLLEGE Walnut Ridge, Arkansas 72476 D. Jack Nicholas, President

A rare spmt prevailed on the campus of Southern Baptist College during the 1973-74 academic year. With the coming to the campus of a group of students usually committed to the purposes of SBC, the Board of Trustees, the administration, faculty, staff, and student body joined together in a happy fellowship to accomplish those purposes.

ENROLLMENT

The non-duplicating enrollment of Southern Baptist College during the 1973-74 school year was 736. Of this number 332 were enrolled on the Walnut Ridge Campus, 332 at the Residence Center at Blytheville Air Force Base, and 72 in extension classes at Senath, Missouri. Although these figures reflect a decline in enrollment for the fourth consecutive year, they also represent a very encouraging sign. For while the decline in enrollment between the fall and spring semesters has usually been from 10 to 14 percent 96 1974 ANNUAL

the decline between the fall and spring for 1973-74 W1S only 4 percent. This is one of several apparent indications that Southern Baptist College is about to experience an upsurge in enrollment.

During the last year considerable attention was given to the preparation of professionally developed public relations materials. New student recruit­ ment brochures, student financial aids brochures, and a 15 minute, color, sound film about the college were produced by a public relations firm of Memphis, Tennessee, at minimal cost since the owner of the firm is an alumnus of Southern Baptist College. In addition, two suitcase size cartridge projectors with 8 millimeter films of the college were obtained for use by Admissions Counselors and Development personnel.

ACADEMIC IMPROVEMENT

Academically, Southern Baptist College witnessed several significant developments during the 1973-74 school year. The year began with the announcement that the accreditation by the North Central Association had been continued. With the desire for greater efficiency in administration and more inter-disciplinary thinking throughout the college, the move from eleven departments to four divisions was completed. A thorough revision of the catalog, as well as graduation requirements, was carried out. An effort was made to provide more flexibility to the student in choosing specific courses to meet graduation requirements, thus facilitating the transfer process. A comprehensive study of the existing total curricula offerings was completed, resulting in the deletion as well as addition of several courses. Considerable attention was given to vocational-career programs of study, resulting in a new thirty-hour secretarial certificate program being adopted. The Theological Adult Education program enrolled 17 students, the largest enrollment in ten

years. At graduation degrees were awarded to 71 students - 64 earned the Associate in Arts Degree and 7 earned the Diploma in Theology.

CHRISTIAN COMMITMENT

Southern Baptist College continues to strive to be the "Campus of Christian Purpose." Among the activities contributing to this purpose were the required weekly chapel service, the Campus Revival held early in the fall semester, the Pre-school and Mid-winter BSU Retreats, Religious Focus Week observed during the spring semester, the annual Student-led Revival, daily noon and evening prayer services, and daily and/or weekly dorm devotions. A substantial number of students were saved during these activities during the year and several others were saved in the dormitories as a result of the compassionate, Christian witness of faculty members and fellow students.

Southern Baptist College had a total of 81 students, almost 25 percent of the total on-campus enrollment, preparing for church-related vocations during the 1973-74 academic year. That is perhaps the highest percentage of students preparing for church-related vocations among all Southern Baptist colleges. Sixty-six were registered as ministerial students, 5 as mission volunteers, 9 in church music, and one in religious education.

The students and faculty of Southern Baptist College continue to exert a spiritual impact upon northeast Arkansas and southeast Missouri through the activities of eight revival teams, the Life Service Band, the Baptist Student Union, and numerous ministers, music directors, and youth leaders going out regularly from the college into the churches and communities of our service area. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 97

FINANCES

The effects of galloping inflation, low tuition charges, and inadequate Convention support of the operational budget combined to make it imperative that the college raise tuition and fees and request of the Convention a significant increase in its contribution to the operational budget of Southern Baptist College. Tuition charges were increased from $25.00 to $29.00 per semester hour and the college requested of the Arkansas Baptist State Convention an additional $ 7 5 ,000 per year for operational expenses. Even with these efforts it was necessary to trim the budget at every corner in order to project a 1974-75 budget which would show operation in the black.

PHYSICAL FACILITIES

Early in the year a special committee for the long range planning of physical facilities was established. The committee, composed of members of the Board of Trustees, members of the administration, members of the faculty, and members of the student body, identified the following priorities for long range planning: 1) Complete the Fine Arts Building, 2) Upgrade and repair existing permanent facilities to an acceptable standard, 3) Remove unusable and unsightly buildings, 4) Construct a field house/recreation facility, 5) Provide married student housing, and 6) Renovate the Administra­ tion Building.

The most visible result of the OBU-SBC Campaign on the campus of Southern Baptist College continues to take shape. It is the lovely, spacious Fine Arts Building. This facility which will house the Division of Humanities, which includes all fine arts and music, as well as the Division of Social Science and Religion, should be ready for occupancy sometime during the 1974-75 academic year. Arkansas Baptists have reason to be humbly grateful for the magnificent success of the Ouachita Baptist University-Southern Baptist College Advancement Campaign. The Campaign is of incalculable benefit to the two institutions and is in addition apparently proving to be a stimulus to the total stewardship efforts of Arkansas Baptists.

The Southern Baptist College family is constantly aware that the institution exists to serve the purposes of Arkansas Baptists and the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ and that the institution has no justification for existing apart from these purposes. Directed by these purposes, the institution endeavors to provide a two-year academic program of the highest quality in an atmosphere which is thoroughly saturated with the presence and principles of Jesus Christ. Inspired by these purposes, we pursue our task with gratitude for the benevolent and sacrifical support of Arkansas Baptists.

BAPTIST BOOK STORE

Robert H. Bauman, Manager

The Baptist Book Store is striving, continually, to grow with the churches and their members - and has projected a new image and theme ... PARTNERS IN GROWTH. We are, constantly, seeking out methods of distribution of material to assist people and churches in their growth effort, in new experiences and in gaining new insights.

The Baptist Book Store in Little Rock is in its 72nd year of service, its earliest beginning dates back to 1901. The purpose of the Baptist Book Store 98 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION is to provide merchandise easily available to all people in our area. In doing so, we believe this enables churches and people to be equipped to witness to a world that does not know a Saviour, and to provide adequate help for teaching and training the the church, the home, and each individual believer's life.

It is now located at 4418 South University, having moved there in May, 1973. The new location has 10,000 square feet of floor space, an additional 3,000 square feet more than the former location. The entire store is on one level which contributes to better working conditions and a more efficient service to our customers. Provided with the new location is 40 parking spaces for our customers and staff.

Due to increased cost in the distribution of a large catalog, our Baptist Book Store Catalog is being replaced by three smaller catalogs mailed to our customers throughout the year. The CHURCH LEADERSHIP CATALOG is sent out in August, the CHRISTMAS CATALOG in October, and the GIFT CATALOG in April. These new specially tailored buying guides represent our new approach to cataloging. Our purpose is to pinpoint areas of need with precise product and service suggestions. Keep these valuable tools accessible at all times and give us the opportunity to be more effective PARTNERS IN GROWTH.

Dr. W. O. Thomason, who has been the Book Store Division Director for three years, has been named Executive Vice-President upon Dr. Crowe's retirement in February, 1975. The new director of the Book Store Division is William S. Graham who will give great leadership to all of Baptist Book Store work.

Dedication in service is our goal and is, now, expressed in our new slogan ...PART NERS IN GROWTH.

AMERICAN BIBLE SOCIETY New York, New York

J. Edward Cunningham, Regional Executive Secretary 2220 Parklake Drive, N.E. - Suite 425 Atlanta, Georgia 30345 Supplying the millions of men, women and children who become new readers each year with Scrip tures they can understand, is seen by the American Bible Society as one of the most pressing of the many challenges facing it today.

To bring the Word of God to every person in the world has of course always been the sole purpose of the Society. To do so it has engaged in hundreds of programs of Scripture translation, publication and distribution by cooperating with churches and agencies that need Scriptures.

Even with all these programs, the Bible Society is aware that a large part of the world's people are still not being reached.

GOOD NEWS FOR NEW READERS

Now there is GOOD NEWS FOR NEW READERS, a unique and extensive program that will bring the Word of God to many millions of ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 99

people who will be able to read the Scriptures for themselves, for the first time.

GOOD NEWS FOR NEW READERS will provide special Scripture Literacy Selections on five graded levels, and in 200 languages. A total of 725 million Selections will be required over the next 12 years at a cost of over $62,000,000! Funds to make this possible will be sought from individuals, churches, denominations and foundations. This program is designed to combine literacy aid with Gospel learning and in so doing addresses both functional and spiritual needs.

The first two levels of Literacy Selections have been completed in 112 languages. Even now results are beginning to show the impact that these Selections will make upon education programs conducted by both church and government agencies. And, the ready acceptance of this material indicates the great spiritual hunger of the world's people and the need for these unique tools. Nothing else like them exists in any language anywhere!

PARTNERS IN BASIC MISSION

The American Bible Society, working through the United Bible Societies, continues to be the primary source of supply of Scriptures for the missionary enterprise in the United States and abroad, including areas of particular interest to the Southern Baptist Churches.

On behalf of the Southern Baptist Convention and several of its state and local organizations, the American Bible Socity has produced 16 special Scripture editions totaling over 3 million copies in 1973.

The American Bible Society remains constantly ready to supply Southern Baptist Scriptural needs and welcomes opportunities to assist all those who are working so well for the Bible cause.

SCRIPTURE DISTRIBUTION UP 14.1 PER CENT

More than 249 million Scriptures - Bibles, New Testaments, Portions and Selections - were distributed during 1973 by the members of the United Bible Societies. The world total is up by 14.1 per cent over 1972, largely due to phenomenal Scripture distribution efforts in Bangladesh, Colombia, Costa Rica, Indonesia, Nicaragua, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Tanzania and Venezuela. Half of the World Service Budget of the United Bible Societies, which financed a large part of this distribution, was provided by the American Bible Society.

In the United States, the total Scripture distribution was over 117 million - a bit less than the 1972 all-time record.

The number of languages in which at least one book of the Bible has been published by Bible Societies and other Chrisitian organizations increased by 26 in 1973 to 1,526. The Bible Societies continue to place a high priority on contemporary language translations such as "Good News for Modern Man." Today's English Version continues to be a model for common-language translation work with other tongues. To date, common-language Scriptures have been published in 36 languages. 100 1974 ANNUAL

"Good News for Modern Man," the American Bible Society's New Testament in Today's English Version, reached a total circulation of more than 43 million copies at the end of 1973.

OTHER PROJECTS

The American Bible Society is bringing new color and format to the Scriptures produced. Distribution continues in the work of the blind with Scriptures in Braille, tape, and records. Work with Armed Forces Chaplains continues as well as work with Blacks, American Indians, Spanish, and other minority groups. The Volunteer Activities continues to grow rapidly with volunteer workers up to 7,420 in 1973, from the 1972 total of 1,200. 720 volunteers have set up Scripture Courtesy Centers for the special needs of their own communities.

WORK ABROAD

In missionary fields abroad, the American Bible Society is proving its effectiveness in areas of particular interest to the Southern Baptist Conven­ tion. In Brazil, for instance, Portuguese Literacy Selections, and the publication of the New Testament in Today's Portuguese was primarily responsible for an increase of over 54 per cent in the distribution of New Testaments in Brazil from less than 100,000 in 1972 to nearly 150,000 in 1973. In Nigeria, the Bible Society is working extensively to translate new Scripture editions into the native tongues such as Hausa, Yoruba, and Igbo. Scriptures have also been produced in Edo, Esau, Isoko, and Itsetiri. Scripture distribution in 1973 totaled 887,883, an increase of 80 per cent over 1972.

In japan, over 1 million New Testaments were distributed in 1973. This is an all-time record. The japanese common-language version of the New Testament is scheduled for publication in 1975.

In Indonesia, the Bible Society has witnessed a phenomenal growth in Scripture distribution as a Christianization process continues to sweep the country. Distribution figures reflect a 183 per cent increase for 1973 which follows a 78 per cent increase in 1972.

In China, the latest translations of the New Testament in Today's Chinese Version are being broadcast daily into the People's Republic of China. The full New Testament in Today's Chinese Version is expected to be published in 1975.

Bible Society work is also undergirding the work of churches in the Philippines, Kenya, Argentina and other countries where the Southern Baptist Convention has active missions.

FINANCIAL SUPPORT

The American Bible Society is facing growing demands for Scriptures in a world whose population is growing and whose people have a growing need for the saving knowledge of the Gospel. Proportionately, the budget of the Bible Society has grown to $12,300,000, an increase of $900,000 over 1973. By 1980, it is projected to be $18,000,000. This growth can be fulfilled with ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 101

increased dedication and expanded financial support from Southern Baptist Churches. It is most commendable that membership in the Southern Baptist has grown during the past decade. At the same time Southern Baptist support for the Society has generally increased. The American Bible Society is most grateful for the annual rededication to the Bible cause by the Convention, and for its close and continuing relationship with the Southern Baptist Convention in the common purpose of Scripture distribution.

WHAT MUST THE SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION DO?

In recognition of the growing number of requests for Scriptures throughout the world, including the development of GOOl) NEWS FOR NEW READERS program, the American Bible Society asks that the Southern Baptist State Convention continue to support the American Bible Society, setting as its minimum goal the 1973 level and above.

In addition, we request that serious consideration be given and action taken to make special, substantial - and additional - funding available for GOOD NEWS FOR NEW READERS by the Southern Baptist Convention.

We know we have the urgent responsibility and glorious challenge of making God's Word available to all who need and want it. This is more than a responsibility for the Bible Societies. It is a responsibility which all Christians must recognize and to which all must respond generously.

CHRISTIAN CIVIC FOUNDATION OF ARKANSAS, INC. 1007 Donaghey Building - Little Rock, Arkansas 72201

Edward W. Harris, Executive Director The Educational Program : During the 1973-74 school year, the Alcohol-Narcotics Education Program was presented in 110 schools, reaching approximately 53,000 students in this vital phase of our work. Everywhere, our Educational Assistant was received enthusiastically, and we have found all doors open to our approach. We feel that this is due to two things: (1) The quality of leadership and materials we present; (2) The fact that our non-sectarian approach does not violate the constitutional separation of Church and State. The cost of carrying on this work has risen sharply, with the rise in the cost of fuel, food, lodging, etc., all of which is paid directly out of the worker's expense account.

In addition to the school programs, the Educational Assistant, Paul Ramsey, spoke to nine church groups and fourteeen civic clubs, P.T.A.'s and other groups, and also served on the Education Sub-Committee of the state Drug Abuse Authority. During the month of June Mr. Ramsey presented the Alcohol-Narcotics program in eight church youth camps.

On July 1, 1974, Paul R. Ramsey, our fine Educational Assistant for the past six years, left the Foundation to become a full-time recruiter for the Arkansas National Guard. We regret losing him, but we feel very fortunate in the choice of his replacement, Alan T. Tucker. Mr. Tucker is a graduate of 102 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

Ouachita Baptist University, is 22 years old, married, and has one daughter. He is also serving as pastor of Plum Bayou Baptist Church at Wright. Mr. Tucker assumed his duties on August 1, and spent the month of August in preparation for his work with the Foundation, which included attendance at the Tane-Baylor Workshop on Alcohol and Drug Abuse at Baylor University, Waco, Texas. He began his work in the schools early in September, and has found enthusiastic reception. We anticipate a schedule of 115 schools for the 1974-75 school year, reaching approximately 60,000 students.

Mr. Tucker looks forward to meeting as many pastors and Board members as possible in the areas where he will be working. His schedule of appointments is published monthly in the Arkansas Baptist Newsmagazine, so that pastors may know the dates on which he will be in their communities. He is available for Sunday or weeknight meetings in churches, and in civic clubs, PTA's and other groups. Dates and types of meetings should be cleared by calling the Foundation office at 372-03 18.

Legislative Activity: The Executive Director attended all sessions of the General Assembly which convened in January, 1973, and the Special Session which met during June and July of 1974. In the interim between sessions, he has kept in close touch with the ten joint committees and the Legislative Council, studying carefully all study proposals and potential bills to be presented to the Regular Session in January of 1975. We anticipate legislative proposals in the following areas: (1) Another series of bills proposing the lowering the majority age for all purposes, including the possession and use of Alcoholic Beverages. We successfully opposed such efforts in 1973, but we expect a strong effort again, supported by more thorough planning. Arkansas is still among the few states retaining the age of 21 for the purpose of alcoholic beverages, and we anticipate a desperate fight to make the change. (2) A study has been undertaken by the Revenue and Taxation Committee to present another "Wine Bill" that would authorize the ABC Board to issue permits to Grocery Stores and other places of business who do not have Liquor and or Beer Licenses to sell wine. This would flood our state with "Wine outlets". Wine and cash flowed freely when this was presented in 1973, and we expect a repeat performance. (3) Some revision of the "Controlled Substance Act" or the Drug Abuse Law. (4) A bill clarifying the present Arkansas Statutes on Obscenity will probably be introduced. We will keep our pastors and churches informed, through a printed bulletin, on all pieces of proposed legislation that are related to the four areas in which the Foundation operates: Alcohol, Narcotics, Gambling, and Pornography.

ABC Board: The new Director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control Board appointed by Governor Bumpers is a fine Baptist layman, R. E. Brians, former Chief of Police of the Little Rock Police Department, and an active member of Immanuel Baptist Church in Little Rock. From our observations, we believe that Mr. Brians is a conscientious and dedicated churchman, trying to do his job according to the laws of Arkansas and for the best interests of our citizens. We solicit Convention support for him as he performs one of the most important and most difficult tasks in Arkansas State Government. We are always happy to assist any local group in the state in their appearances before the ABC Board, or to counsel with them on any problem relating to alcohol, narcotics, gambling or pornography.

Local Option Elections: We know of two areas where Local Option Elections have been initiated by the "Wets". Both areas are now "Dry". They are Columbia County, which has been dry since 1943, and Stone County, which voted dry in 1970 and 1972. One is a college area and the other a resort area. Th.ere is also a potential election attempt threatened in Sevier ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 103

County. The Foundation works closely with all local groups involved in Local Option Elections, who wish our assistance, but we always insist that the leadership of the movement be local. Our work is done where we are invited to serve, and without cost to the local group.

The Executive Director: In addition to the full time Legislative Activity, appearances before the State Alcoholic Beverage Control Board, preaching engagements in local churches, he attended and participated in the Arkansas Baptist State Convention, the Little Rock Methodist Annual Conference, the North Arkansas Methodist Annual Conference, the Tane­ Baylor Workshop on Alcohol and Narcotics, Waco, Texas, and the Biennial meeting of the American Council on Alcohol Problems, in Orlando, Florida. These duties, in addition to the administration of the total program of the Christian Civic Foundation, have made this the busiest and one of the most satisfying years of service for the Executive Director. He is always happy to accept invitations to speak in churches and pulpits, whenever an invitation is extended by the minister, either on the work of the Foundation or on a Gospel theme in a service of worship.

The Annual Meeting: At the Annual Meeting of the Foundation on March 18, 1974, at Second Baptist Church, Little Rock, special recognition plaques were presented to the past presidents by Dr. Charles H. Ashcraft, acting for the Christian Civic Foundation. Among the eight receiving plaques were six Baptist laymen. Those receiving the plaques were: Judge Tom F. Digby, Mr. Paul Meers, Judge Edward S. Maddox, Dr. Horace E. Thompson, Mr. Branch T. Fields, Sr., Mrs. Roy E. Snider, Mr. HalTY O. Brewer, and Rev. J. Albert Gatlin. Speaker for the occasion was Dr. John L. Smith, a Baptist minister, and Executive Director of the American Council on Alcohol Problems. We would like to invite all of the members of the Convention to attend our next annual meeting on March 17, 1975. Please notify us if you plan to attend.

The Staff of the Foundation would like to take this opportunity to 'thank our Baptist brethren over the state for their strong, continued support. Our staff consists of Rev. Edward W. Harris - Executive Director, Mr. Alan T. Tucker - Educational Assistant , and Mrs. Beverly B. Williams - Office Secretary. We also want to thank our fine Executive Committee and Board of Directors for their support and encouragement, which means so much in this work. The officers and Executive Committee are :

Mr. Dale Ward, President Mr. Raymond Hillis, First Vice-President Mr. HalTY Brewer, Second Vice-President Rev. David P. Conyers, Third Vice-President Rev. W. A. Blount, Secretary Rev. Don Hook, Treasurer Rev. Edward W. Harris, Executive Director

Members-At-Large : Dr. Charles H. Ashcraft, Dr. R. E. L. Bearden, Dr. J. Edward Dunlap, Bishop Eugene M. Frank, Rev. J. Albert Gatlin, Judge Edward S. Maddox, Dr. Erwin L. McDonald, Mr. Roland M. Shelton, Mrs. Roy E. Snider, Dr. Rheubin L. South, Dr. Horace E. Thompson, and Rev. John H. Thompson.

Finances: The fiscal year, January through December of 1973, marked the first time in many years that receipts exceeded expenditures. The report to the State Convention covers the period from October 1, 1973, through September 30, 1974, but reflects a similar encouraging sign, due largely to 104 1974 ANNUAL increased giving by Baptist and Methodist Churches:

Balance on Hand October 1, 1973 ...... $ 1,920.22 Receipts: Baptist ...... $17,119 .25 Methodist ...... 17,619.01 Other ...... 2,804.66 37,542.92

Total Funds Available ...... $39, 463.14

Total Disbursements ...... 38,319.85

Balance October 1, 1974 ...... $ 1,143.29

We are grateful for this support by the Arkansas Baptist State Convention and local Baptist churches. Although the goal set was not reached, it represents an increase in giving. Inflation brought a sharp rise in costs of operation. Without strong regular monthly support from local churches, our program could not continue. We still follow the established policy of making no direct solicitations of any group , or making any charge for our services. Our total support still comes ONLY from voluntary giving by local churches and the convention. We have not missed an engagement at any time, even during the worst of the energy crisis. With the threat of rising gasoline prices and taxes, we still plan to continue the policy of "no solicitation and no charge for services." We believe that our supporters will not let us fail in such an important cause, in such critical times as these.

We are grateful to the following Baptist churches, W.M.U.'s and associations who gave during the period of October 1, 1973, through September 30, 1974:

Batesville, West Lonoke Beebe, First Magnolia, Central Blytheville, First Mena, First Brinkley, First Monette Cabot, First Monte Ne Camden, First Mountain Home, First Carlisle, First McGehee, First Centennial Association Norphlet, First Charleston, First North Crossett Crossett, First North Little Rock, Central Des Arc, First North Little Rock, Levy DeWitt, First North Little Rock, Park Hill Dumas, First North Little Rock, Pike Avenue El Dorado, Immanuel WMU Osceola, First Fayetteville, Immanuel Paragould, First Fayetteville, Rolling Hills Parkin, First Forrest City, First Rogers, First Harrison, First Rogers, Immanuel Heber Springs, First Siloam Springs, First Hope, First Smackover, First jonesboro, Central Stuttgart, First jonesboro, First Turner junction City, First Village Little Rock, Baptist Tabernacle Walnut Ridge, First Little Rock, Calvary Warren, First Little Rock, Immanuel West Helena Little Rock, Pulaski Heights West Memphis, First Little Rock, Second ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 105

FOREIGN MISSION BOARD

Southern Baptist Convention Richmond, Virginia "N ever have we faced a day when the foreign mISSIOn task is more urgently needed. Events in our own country and throughout the world constantly remind us that mankind cannot find salvation in bread alone ... The hope of man can rest only in the grace of God made known through Jesus Christ." Baker ]. Cauthen, Executive Secretary

Missionary Support

The sending out and maintaining of missionaries is primary in Southern Baptist overseas missions through the channel of the Foreign Mission Board. At the close of 1973 the Board had an overseas missionary staff of 2,538. This included 172 missionary associates, 3 special project medical personnel, and 137 missionary journeymen. Additions during the year totaled 229 (including 14 associates, 75 journeymen, 2 special project medical workers, and 13 reappointments).

On January 1, 1974, Southern Baptist mIssIOnaries were under appointment to 77 geographical or political entities.* During 1973, mission­ aries went to live and work in the Niger Republic in West Africa. A couple appointed some time ago for Mocambique [note change in spelling] finally received official permission for residence in that country.

(Work in Libya, Greece, and Turkey is with an English-language Baptist church i'n each country.)

Evangelism And Church Development

Leading people to new life in Christ and cultivating New Testament churches are purposes underlying all of our Southern Baptist missionary efforts. Missionaries are related to national Baptist conventions and churches on five continents. More than 75 percent of these churches are self-support­ ing. In some countries, all of the churches in the national convention are self-supporting. Most of the statics and achievements reported represent the work of these national Baptist organizations.

The program of evangelism and church development includes many types of ministry: radio and television, English-language churches, lay-leader­ ship training, stewardship promotion, camps and conferences; work with women, men, and youth; music, and religious education. 106 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

During 1973, a new national convention was organized; The Coopera­ tive Baptist Convention of Guyana. Conventions and unions in other lands are emphasizing lay witnessing and church-centered evangelistic efforts. WIN (Witness Involvement Now) schools have been held in Bangladesh, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Japan, and other countries are planning such schools for 1974. Stewardship emphases have been both national and regional, as churches move toward increasing self-support of their work.

Unusual response to special evangelistic campaigns in 1973 was reported in Nigeria, Korea, and the Philippines.

In Guadeloupe and Sabah, Malaysia, the first Baptist pastors to emerge from indigenous work there were ordained.

Home and foreign mission boards of national conventions are seeing results from their efforts, as new churches grow out of their work.

As the number of television sets and radios increases across the world, new opportunities for witness by mass media continue to emerge. Christian radio broadcasts on a nationwide scale are now possible in Japan. Committees for work through mass media are now operating on many fields.

Music conferences were held during 1973 in the Philippines, with missionary and national representatives from East and Southeast Asia, and in Brazil, for Baptist leaders in 14 Latin American countries.

Schools And Student Work

Strong indigenous churches must have capable and well-trained leader­ ship from among their people. Educational institutions under Baptist auspices in various lands may include all levels from kindergarten through university. Baptists also sponsor theological schools and Bible institutes to prepare men and women for church and denominational leadership.

Theological-study-by-extension is increasing as an educational tool for the training of pastors and laymen. A pilot project has begun in East Africa to enable pastors to continue working with their churches while engaging in theological study. Other extension programs have been inaugurated in Honduras and Guyana.

Construction has been completed for new seminary facilities in Mexico City, and the school is expected to move from Torreon sometime in 1974. A small Bible school for African pastors was opened in Angola in 1973, and in Togo the first class to enter the pastors' school there was graduated. This school has been designated as an international center for the advanced training of selected students from several countries.

A small school for girls has been opened by a mIssIOnary in Jibla, Yemen. Plans are under way for a new Baptist school in Amman,Jordan.

Around the world, the student generation is receiving attention from Baptist missionaries and national conventions. Construction has begun on a student center to minister to young people attending the University of Guam. Special conferences on student work for missionaries and national workers from East and Southeast Asia were held in the Philippines in 1973. In Japan, plans have been projected for renewed emphasis on ministry to students. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 107

Publication Work As the literacy rate rises in many overseas lands, the mInIstry of publications becomes increasingly important as a means of evangelism and church growth.

The Baptist Spanish Publishing House in El Paso, Texas, is providing - in addition to publications in Spanish - materials in English for ministerial training in the Caribbean and booklets in Dutch for use in Surinam.

Vietnamese Baptists have published their first hymnal, and in Hong Kong the first edition of a new Chinese Baptist hymnal has been printed. This publication will be used not only in Asian countries but by Chinese-speaking people throughout the world.

Missions in six French-speaking West African countries are continuing a coordinated program of literature production to avoid duplication of effort and make available materials for Sunday School, cOlTespondence courses, and leadership training.

Hospitals And Medical Care

Witnessing through healing - a ministry of compassion - has always been an integral part of Christian missions. In cooperation with national medical personnel, this witness is expressed by Southern Baptists through hospitals, dental clinics, dispensaries and day clinics, nursing schools, and other health care ministries in overseas lands. During 1973, a new hospital in Bangalore, India was dedicated; a new outpatient clinic wing at Wallace Memorial Hospital in Pusan, Korea was opened; and a new building for the hospital at Aj loun, Jordan was dedicated. Hospital facilities recently completed at Bukittinggi, Indonesia were expected to open soon.

Mobile clinics continue to be effective among rural and village people. Through day clinics held in local churches and staffed chiefly by national Christian medical personnel, much-needed health care is provided and, often, doors are opened to a hearing for the gospel.

Benevolent Ministries

Benevolent ministries include a variety of elements: agricultural programs, good will and community centers, social work ministries, and direct relief work. Through the Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptists provided funds in 1973 to help relieve the plight of people suffering from a lengthy drought in West Africa and in Rhodesia and from a devastating earthquake in Nicaragua.

In Japan, "friendship houses" are providing counseling, Bible classes, instruction in English, and other opportunities which serve as significant avenues for witness. A Baptist recreation center, on the Mediterranean Sea, has been opened by missionaries in Gaza. The community development project in Ethiopia has been extended to other mountain districts, with the aid of a missionary pilot and plane. A specialist in social ministries is working with churches in Vietnam, leading them to serve according to their resources. 108 1974 ANNUAL

Contributions At the end of 1973, Southern Baptists' contributions for foreign missions totaled $39,435,694. The 1973 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering goal was $20 million - an increase over the $19,664,973 contributed (as of May 1, 1973) through the 1972 offering.

Approximately 50 percent of the Southern Baptist Convention Co­ operative Program funds is made available annually for foreign missions. This is the basis upon which sustained advance can be built.

HOME MISSION BOARD

Southern Baptist Convention Atlanta, Georgia A deep shadow was cast across the nation this past year that underscored the need for spiritual and moral renewal. The positive side, however, is that countering the national developments is a quickening desire among many Christians to sieze the opportunity to turn the tide.

The committed Christian refuses to be swayed by crises that seem to attack him from every direction and threaten to turn him inward instead of toward ministry.

Possibly there has never been a more challenging time to serve Jesus Christ and help cross barriers with the gospel.

- Arthur B. Rutledge Executive Secretary-Treasurer

4,000 Crossing Barriers

Some 4,000 persons, including full-time, part-time and volunteer workers, are helping meet the challenge of the times. The Board's missionary force totaled 2,170 at the year's end, and the balance was comprised of students and volunteers. Missionaries are active in all 50 states, Panama and Puerto Rico. The Board pays the full support of about one third of them and shares in the support of the others with the state conventions. Record Cooperative Program and Annie Armstrong Easter Offerings will enable enlargement of the missionary force and strengthening of all programs.

Student Missionaries Total 1,024

A total of 1,024 student summer missionaries augmented and sup­ ported the work of the missionaries. There was also a small but growing number of students who performed similar services at other times of the year. National Student Ministries provided more than 400 students for a variety of mission projects.

C. B. "Bill" Hogue Takes Evangelism Reins The Division of Evangelism got a new director during the year, C. B. "Bill" Hogue, who came to the Board after two years as state director of evangelism in Oklahoma. The division was also reorganized to provide emphasis to lifestyle concerns - lay witnessing, mass evangelism and materials and services - and make them more available where they are needed. Lay witness training involved some 300,000 people during the year - no doubt a vital factor in the more than 400,000 baptisms for 1973. Youth programs such as the first youth evangelism leadership conference and the second Super Summer placed emphasis on youths' role and responsibility in crossing barriers to win persons to Christ.

Spring Street On 34 Tapes

Viewers of "Spring Street, USA," the Board's evangelistic television ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 111

series, were numbered in the hundreds of thousands in 1973. The program has now backlogged 34 tapes and is being seen on more than 50 stations across the nation. Mail response has increase more than ten-fold indicating the program is gaining an increased acceptance and ever-widening audience. More shows, however, will depend on increased funding.

Again It's Operation Denomination

Operation Denomination was again the rule for Southern Baptist chaplains in 1973, continuing to identify the some 850 full-time chaplains with the mainstream of denominational life. The end of the Vietnam war brought a drop in the total chaplaincy force from just under 900 to the present 850. Most of these still serve in the military services but about one third minister in civilian hospitals, institutions and industry and 50 or more are on duty at veterans hospitals. Six seminary conferences are held during the year and two overseas conferences were conducted in Germany and Japan.

Loans Program Lends Assistance

In the past 15 years some 4,000 new churches have been started in areas previously little known by Southern Baptists. Lending assistance in these efforts has been the Church Loans Division. In 1973-74 the church loans representatives counseled some 1,500 churches about their financial needs and the division made loans to some 235 churches totaling more than $11 million. A vital new part of the loans program is the Negro and Ethnic Chur�h Loan Fund, begun in 1972, which now has loaned some $750,000 to 31 churches. Robert H. Kilgore, director of th e division, is the author of a new book published by the Board, How Much a Debtor, which will be a landmark resource guide for churches facing new debts for construction.

Keeping Tabs on Religious Pluralism

More Southern Baptists became aware of the program of interfaith witness in 1973 through the annual mission study series. Tens of thousands studied Director Thomas Starkes' book, No Man Goes Alone, sparking interest everywhere in learning more about other faiths. Starkes says this will make Baptists better spokesmen for their own faith.

Extending The Al'm Of The Church

The program of church extension "lengthened its chords and strength. ened its stakes" in 1973, starting 89 new congregations and sowing the seed for more through 244 new home Bible study fellowships. A total of 390 young congregations also were given assistance through pastoral aid and another 56 were assisted toward becoming self-supporting. The department is stressing fields of churches where several churches share one pastor, satellite churches operating much like "branch offices" of a mother church; .house churches centered around small groups meeting in members' homes, leased and shared facilities where new SBC churches rent facilities or share those of other denominations and faiths, and the expanding Bible study fellowships. Director Jack Redford says almost 27,000 Bible study fellowships are now being conducted nationwide. 112 1974 ANNUAL

Association Accent Strategy Planning The emphasis on strategy planning - leading each association to be a "fellowship of churches on mission in their setting" - continued to dominate the work of the Division of Associational Services in 1973. Three strategy­ planning seminars were held during the year with more than 100 of the nation's 750 superintendents of missions attending and three state con­ ventions were assisted with associational planning awareness conferences. Much of the focus of the division has been on preparation for the National Convocation on the Southern Baptist Association which attracted representa­ tives from most of the 1,200 associations to Ridgecrest in May. A highlight, too, is the release of Director Russell Bennett's book, Fellowship of Kindred Minds.

McCall Moves To Head Department

Emmanuel McCall, since 1968 associate to Victor Glass in the Department of Cooperative Ministries with National Baptists, was named director-elect in anticipation of Glass's retirement at the end of 1974. He is the first Negro to direct a program of the Southern Baptist Convention. The department continued support of 87 missionaries and provided scholarships to 137 black students. W. R, Grigg, veteran of many years with the department, became regional director of work in the Northeast.

Language Missions Reaches Out

More than 1,050 missionaries are supported by the Home Mission Board working in language efforts in 33 state conventions, Panama and Puerto Rico. The year saw the beginning of work among the Yaqui, Cochin and Feather River Indians, extending the Board's outreach to some 30 language and culture groups. The language missions emphasis shifted more toward developing indigenous leadership with missionaries serving as catalysts, equippers, trainers, resource persons. Frank Belvin, an Indian, joined the staff as consultant on Indian affairs. During the year, the department began ministries to internationals, helped relocate refugee Ugandan families and broadened the coast-to-coast ministry to seamen. A new Manual of Religious Signs was produced by the Board and written and illustrated by missionaries Carter Bearden and Jerry Potter for use in deaf ministries.

CSM: Helping Equip The Laity

The Department of Christian Social Ministries had almost 300 missionaries serving across the Convention in 1973, but in addition to assisting them, the department spent much of the year equipping laymen and laywomen for ministry. Six conferences and eight workshops were held across the Convention to train lay persons in ministry and witnessing. Five metropolitan associations where aided in securing directors of Christian social ministries and 22 churches and 10 associations were helped in starting new weekday ministries. Six conferences were held on literacy missions.

New Director For Volunteers

The increasing participation of lay persons in missions was undergirded by the naming of the first director of the Christian Service Corps. William L. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 113

Wilson, a volunteer himself, became an unsalaried staff member in the Department of Special Mission Ministries and is giving half of his time to enlisting lay people for short-term and long-term assignments. He is building a network of Christian Service Corps coordinators throughout the states.

THE SUNDAY SCHOOL BOARD

Southern Baptist Convention Nashville, Tennessee

James L. Sullivan, President

Purpose - To support the Southern Baptist Convention in its task of bringing men to God through Jesus Christ by making available Bibles, lesson courses and materials, books, films and filmstrips, music and recordings, and church supplies and by fostering education and service programs which will help the churches to establish, conduct, enlarge, and improve their ministries of Bible teaching and Christian training.

Significant Goals and Accomplishments - The Sunday School Board recognizes that churches vary a great deal in their wants and needs. Some of these variances are related to size, location, state of Christian development, community environment, and educational level. These differences require variations in basic programs and materials. The Board has sought to understand and meet the needs of the churches rather than to try to impose on churches programs and materials developed in an "ivory tower" setting. In meeting the varying needs of churches, the Board seeks to make all its materials biblically sound, physically attractive, and of acceptable quality. The aim is that every item be of superior quality.

All Sunday School Board activities are designed (1) to discover the programs which churches may use effectively in finding, reaching, teaching, training, and developing people, (2) to promote such programs for use in the churches, and (3) to provide acceptable materials to support these programs. Church growth plans, which include People to People and CHURCH: the Sunday Night Place, have already helped many churches in reestablishing a positive spirit and have turned their membership and enrollment patterns from decline to growth. These plans, along with many others in the various departments of the Board, forecast a bright future for church growth. The acceptance of these plans by association and state convention leadership has increased appreciably.

The actions that have been taken for the simplification of programs and materials have resulted in greater acceptance from our constituents. The teaching procedures in our leader periodicals have been simplified, and the response to them have been very positive. The field servicing of our programs is receiving excellent response in the churches, associations, and state conventions.

Financial Matters - Net sales for the year of $47,844,000 exceeded the preceeding year by 8.6 percent. Earnings available for working capital, fixed assets, and capital reserves were $2,032,000, a decrease of 8 percent below budget and 15.5 percent below last year. The decrease below last year was by design in order to provide more funds for operating programs. The decrease below budget was related to change in plans to conform to government price and profit guidelines. The Board provided funds to assist state conventions in 114 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

the promotion of Sunday School, Church Training, Church Music, Student, Church Administration, Church Architecture, Church Library, and Church Recreation work in the amount of $958,878. Additionally, transfer of $321,467 was made to the Southern Baptist Convention for operating expense.

Outlook - The Board has enjoyed a happy relationship with its constituents. News stories were used 1,176 times for a total of 9,673 column inches; 4,526 visitors toured the Board; and letters of criticism were received from only 154 persons as compared to 961 for the preceding year.

BROTHERHOOD COMMISSION

Southern Baptist Convention Memphis, Tennessee

Glendon McCullo ugh, Executive Director

While Brotherhood enrollments continued to climb for the third consecutive year, the Brotherhood Commission in 1973 sought to increase the opportunity for mission education on two fronts.

In an effort to reach more men with information about Christian missions, the agency introduced World Mission Journal, a monthly publica­ tion produced as a tabloid newspaper eight times a year, and reduced the subscription prices by 30 percent to make it available to more readers.

At the same time, the agency took over the promotion of the World Missions Conferences which annually attract about one million Baptists for presentations on home, foreign, and state missions.

Enrollment of men and boys reached 461,082, an increase of 6,808 or 1.5 percent. The Commission also carried out these activities:

• Conducted a national prayer breakfast for home mISSIOns attended by 1,000 men from the Southeast United States;

• Conducted a national missions congress for 3,000 Pioneer Royal Ambassadors and their leaders;

• Introduced a missions magazine for men in a new tabloid newspaper format to provide more current information about world missions;

• Introduced a special marked edition of the Living New Testament for lay witnessing;

• Conducted a lay ministries tour of ten states;

• Produced and distributed special materials promoting Cooperative Program Day, Baptist Men's Day, and Royal Ambassador Week;

• Produced with the Foreign Mission Board a twelve-minute motion picture film on missions, Passport to Mission; ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 115

• Produced with the Home Mission Board a twelve-minute motion picture film on home missions;

• Conducted 250 lay renewal weekends in churches in the Southern Baptist Convention;

• Conducted four mission education tours to Mexico;

• Produced with the Home Mission Board test materials on church renewal ;

• Led states to offer camping experiences for boys which resulted in almost 2,000 professions of faith and 400 decisions for missions;

• Developed a multi-graded Crusader curriculum for small churches with multi-grade Royal Ambassador chapters;

• Provided a page program for the Southern Baptist Convention using Pioneer Royal Ambassadors;

• Published and distributed more than two million copies of seven curriculum magazines;

• Edited and published four foreign mission graded series teaching guides ;

• Conducted six regional mission action conferences for 500 church and associational Brotherhood leaders;

• Trained 250 persons in Brotherhood methods at five summer assembly periods;

• Conducted five Royal Ambassador Promotion (RAP) Weeks.

CHRISTIAN LIFE COMMISSION

Southern Baptist Convention Nashville, Tennessee

Fay Va lentine, Executive Secretary

The Christian Life Commission worked during the past year to enlarge its services to Southern Baptist churches in the development of Christian morality.

Functioning specifically in family life, race relations, daily work and economics, Christian citizenship, and special moral concerns such as alcohol and other drugs, gambling, and pornography, the Commission engaged in continuing study, research, and action to help Southern Baptists in applying Christian principles in daily life.

Education and action in Christian social concerns continued through an extensive ministry of speaking and preaching, through an expanded emphasis on Christian citizenship development, through distribution of some ninety pamphlets and cassettes on applied Christianity, and through the preparation of curriculum materials for cooperating Baptist organizations. Thousands of 116 1974 ANNUAL churches across the Convention observed Race Relations Sunday in February and Christian Citizenship Sunday prior to july 4. Churches are urged to use Christian Life Commission materials in observing these special occasions listed on the denominational calendar : Race Relations Sunday, February 9, 1975; \Uld Christian Citizenship Sunday, june 29, 1975.

The Christian Life Commission conducts an extensive conference program to foster Christian morality development among Southern Baptists. In the spring of 1973, a national seminar on "A Future for the Family" was conducted in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 1974, a national seminar on "Christians Confronting the Economic Crisis" was held in Houston, Texas. Materials from these seminars have been widely disseminated by radio, tapes, and through printed Proceedings. The next annual seminar will meet in Louisville, Kentucky, March 10-12, 1975, to deal with integrity. Each summer the Commission sponsors conferences at each of the Convention Conference Centers_ The 1973 conference program at Glorieta was "Southern Baptists Working for Criminal justice" and at Ridgecrest, "Race: New Directions for a New Day." In 1974, the conference titles were "Christian Liberation for Contemporary Women" at Glorieta, and "The Bible and the Christian Life" at Ridgecrest.

The Commission's new literature, "Christian Life Style for Families" and "Christian Life Style for Youth," has been widely used throughout the Convention. Churches are urged to write the Christian Life Commission asking for a free illustrated order blank which describes all of the material on applied Christianity produced by the Commission for use in the churches. The Commission is also happy to send to churches and associations a free pamphlet entitled "Christian Life Committee Guidelines" when requested.

Especially encouraging is the growing interest on the part of Baptists at the associational level in more faithfully applying the gospel. The Christian Life Commission is committed to "helping changed people change the world." The staff of the Christian Life Commission stands ready to be of assistance to associations, local churches, and concerned Christian individuals in developing Christian Life Committees and in maintaining a continuing emphasis upon applied Christianity.

THE RADIO AND TELEVISION COMMISSION

Southern Baptist Convention Fort Worth, Texas

Paul Morris Stevens, President

The Radio and Television Commission is designed to reach out to the multitude of people who are indifferent to the call, or unaware of the saving grace, of Jesus Christ. These are the individuals who are not in any church and likely never will be unless someone takes the Good News to them. The programs are tailored to their interests, using their kind of music, and delivered in their language and seem most likely to reach the largest number of such varied groups.

This past calendar year, total program response mail totaled 189,024 as compared with the 1972 total of 177,1 52. Commission records indicate that the year from October, 1972, through September, 1973, saw 452 individuals accept Christ as Saviour, 1,460 rededicate their lives to Christ, and 763 request more information about becoming a Christian. This total of 2,675 decision coupons was up from 1,153 last year. The "Powerline" radio program still pulls the most mail of any program with 83,702 cards and letters in 1973. The techniques used to obtain audience response to "Powerline," a program aimed at teenagers, were so successful that they have been applied to other Commission programs as well, with unususal success. Obviously, there must be initial response before Christian dialogue can begin, and this is the basis on which the Commission seeks response. It has nothing to do with quantity of response for its own sake.

The Radio and Television Commission currently distributes 3,622 programs weekly for broadcast throughout the world to an estimated 100 million listeners and viewers. The value of the public service time contributed to programs produced by the Commission and distributed to commercial stations in this country came to $7,903,250 in 1973, exclusive of network time.

Two new radio programs have been added to the slate already 122 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION scheduled for weekly distribution. One is "SouISearchers" a rhythm and blues music and discussion program aimed at black stations, and the other is "Nightsong," a 15-min.ute late night stereo music program featuring The Centurymen and offered three times a week for use between midnight and 7 a.ln.

At the beginning of 1974, the Commission has produced a total of 31 half hour episodes for the Home Mission Board's "Spring Street, USA," television series. It was a continuation of denominational cooperation begun in the past two years with several SBC agencies.

Other such cooperative endeavors through the year have been: preparation of Baptist Book Store advertising spots for the Sunday School Board; an overseas concert. tour by The Centurymen, sponsored by the Commission and the Foreign Mission Board; the pressing of record albums under the combined label of Broadman-CHM as a result of the agreement between the Commission and the Baptist Sunday School Board; an agreement of intent between the Foreign Mission Board and the Commission to film cooperatively two documentaries in Israel, with a survey trip to plan several other such film ventures for the future ; and the production of "The Estonian Baptist Hour," begun in February, 1973, adding a tenth language in which the Home Mission , Board and the Radio-TV Commission seek to reach language minorities in large cities through radio. The Commission's Radio Department also produced a series of radio spots written by the Christian Life Commission on such subjects as drugs, Christian citizenship, family, race, ecology and honesty.

The Human Dimension series for television now has 26 episodes in circulation, with an additional 10 episodes completed and ready for release by October, 1974. Three additional documentaries are in planning or production stages, induding one on the Bicentennial, one on child abuse and one dealing with death.

A new series called The Athletes is moving toward a test showing in various television markets. Seven athletes have been featured to date, in a projected series of 13 quarter-hour TV segments. Filming an NBC-TV/Southern Baptist Program on the Renaissance will begin early in 1974, and an application entered for permission to make a religious documentary in the Socialist Republic of China (possibly in 1976).

The Commission has learned the importance of mail response to its programs and does everything possible to trigger this response. Then, as a result of receiving such mail, the Commission can send out even more material which deals directly with the Christian life and with salvation through Christ. Timerite, Inc., provided technical assistance to 103 Southern Baptist entities during the year. There were 52 churches, 10 state conventions, 30 associations, five SBC agencies, five schools, and one children's home.

SOUTHEASTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Wake Forest, North Carolina

Olin T. Binkley, President

The primary purpose of this Seminary is the education of Christian ministers ; and teachers and students are exploring the relation of biblical and theological insights to the tasks confronting the churches in urban and rural communities.

One evidence of the vitality of the Seminary is the growth of the student body. The cumulative enrollment for the past academic year, including the 1973 summer session, was 716 students as follows: 463 in the Master of Divinity program, 41 in the Master of Religious Education program, 87 in the Certificate in Theology program, 39 in the Master of Theology program, and 86 in the Doctor of Ministry program. 124 1974 ANNUAL

The enrollment in the fall semester has increased steadily since 1970: 520 in September 1970, 552 in September 1971, 581 in September 1972, and 634 in September, 1973.

On May 25, 1973, 188 students were graduated. It is notable that the first students were admitted to this Seminary in the autumn of 1951, the first Commencement was in the spring of 1954, and 2,697 graduates have gone out from this campus to serve as Christian ministers. The faculty and administrative staff have been strengthened by the addition of Colin Harris as Assistant Professor of Christian Education, Robert Richardson as Assistant Professor and Associate Director of Field Education and Director of Advanced Professional Studies, and David Lee as superinten­ dent of buildings and grounds. Donald Cook, Ellis Hollon, and Max Rogers are on sabbatical leave this year.

In the months ahead the library building will be renovated and enlarged and at least four apartments for married students will be constructed.

There is a vital relation between this Seminary and the churches; and the interior life of the school is enriched by study, worship, and service.

This Seminary is accredited by the American Association of Theological Schools and is supported by funds from the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention. These funds are supplemented by student fees and gifts from alumni and other friends.

In keeping with the retirement policy of the Seminary, Dr. Olin T. Binkley will retire as President on July 31, 1974. He will be succeeded by Dr. Randall Lolley who has been elected President effective August 1, 1974.

SOUTHWESTERN BAPTIST THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY

Fort Worth, Texas 76122 Robert E. Na ylor, President

Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary is expanding its physical plant to meet the needs of a record enrollment and the prospect of continued growth, the seminary's annual report indicates.

Total enrollment for 1973-74 was 2,622, breaking all previous records. The total includes 2,138 on the basic curriculum level, 293 in the advanced degree program, and 191 on the diploma level.

The diploma program, traditionally strong at Southwestern, is for men or women beyond 30 years of age, without a previous college degree, who seek to prepare for the ministry too late for college background.

Beginning with the fall of 1974, Southwestern will offer the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.) in place of the Doctor of Theology \ [h.D.) . With the establishment of the Doctor of Ministry degree and its functional emphasis, it is possible to provide greater orientation toward a teaching ministry in this Ph.D. degree.

Latest addition to the seminary campus is the new Goldia and Robert Naylor Children's Center, dedicated March 14. The building has a capacity of ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 125

300 children in day-care and kindergarten facilities and will serve as a clinical opportunity for students in elementary education. Other building plans include a major renovation of Price Hall, home of the School of Religious Education, and remodeling of the ground floor of Barnard Hall to provide more rooms for single women. The Barnard area was previously used for day-care facilities.

A Physical Fitness Building and a new Maintenance Building, plus a small basic appropriation for additional married student housing, also have been recommended by the Executive Committee for Convention approval.

The seminary is adding a third professor of missions with the election of Justice Anderson, professor at the International Baptist Theological Seminary in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Additional instructors are expected to be added to the faculty to meet the needs of increaded enrollment.

Administration reorganization has been completed with the naming of Felix Gresham as Dean of Student Affairs. L. L. Collins, presently teaching New Testament at the seminary, will assume Dr. Gresham's responsibilities as Director of Admissions and Registrar. Harvey Hatcher, professor of communication arts and a member of the faculty since 1958, will retire at the close of this session. 126 ONE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIRST ANNUAL SESSION

BAPTIST WORLD ALLIANCE 1628 16th St. NW Washington, D.C. 20009

Robert S. Denney, General Secretary C. E. Bryant, Associate Secretary

The Baptist World Alliance is the worldwide fellowship of Baptist be­ lievers. It is a fraternal association that enables all Baptists, wherever they are in the world, to work together - in fellowship, service and cooperation - toward achieving the objectives of the Great Commission.

There are more than 33 million Baptists, living and witnessing in 138 countries. These Baptists are of different colors and speak different languages and salute different flags, but they have one thing in common: their personal faith in Jesus Christ as Saviour and Lord.

Dr. Robert S. Denny is General Secretary of the Baptist World Alliance, with headquarters office in Washington, D.C. The Alliance President for 1970-75 is Dr. V. Carney Hargroves of Philadelphia. There are big brothers and little brothers in the Baptist world family. The Southern Baptist Convention, with its 12 million members, is one of the big brothers. Groups are smaller in other parts of the world, such as the 35 in Senegal, the 427 in Egypt, and the 53 in Turkey. There are, in f2.ct, fewer than 1000 Baptists in 50 countries. These little brothers need the encourage­ ment that a big brother can give. But the big brothers also need the inspira­ tion that comes from those who work valiantly in difficult circumstances.

Through the Baptist World Alliance, the Southern Baptist Convention is enabled to give help to indigenous peoples where the government forbids missionary work. Even some of the big brothers, like the 734,000 Baptists in India and the 535,000 in the USSR, are caught in the political restrictions imposed by nationalistic governments.

Through the Alliance, all Baptists - big and small - can work together on an equal footing toward achievement of their common goals.

Baptist World Congress sessions, every five years, are perhaps the best known of the Alliance's many activities. The 13th Baptist World Congress will meet at Stockholm, Sweden, July 8-13, 1975, and every Baptist of the world is eligible to participate. Annual meetings of the BWA Executive Committee and five Study Commissions provide a forum in which leaders share their concerns and their hopes and seek to learn from one another. The Alliance has been an instrument for unprecedented evangelistic outreach in its World Mission of Reconciliation Through Jesus Christ, a five­ year program climaxing in 1975.

Baptist World Relief, another Alliance program, provides a channel whereby Baptists in any part of the world are ab le to help suffering people everywhere when they are struck by natural or man-made disaster.

A Communications program seeks to help Baptists to know each other better and to share Baptist beliefs with the world at large. The Alliance also remains alert for any infringement on religious liberty and human rights in any part of the world. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 127

Southern Baptists help support this program by their participation in Alliance activities, through their gifts to the Cooperative Program, and through special contributions. They thus are a part of the fellowship that seeks, according to the Alliance constitution, "to show the essential oneness of Baptist people in the Lord Jesus Christ, to impart inspiration to the brotherhood, and to promote the spirit of fellowship, service, and coopera­ tion among its members."

BAPTIST MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Memphis, Tennessee

Frank S. Groner, President

During 1973 progress was made on all fronts as Baptist Memorial Hospi­ tal continued to meet the medical needs of the Mid-South area. In addition Baptist Memorial Hospital became the second largest hospital in the nation by surpassing Cook County Hospital with 58,213 admissions. The hospital's outstanding medical staff also distinguished itself in many areas.

Among the new and improved medical facilities were:

A new Cobalt-60 teletherapy machine and treatment plannIng computer system was installed in the Radiation Therapy Depart­ ment.

The hospital's Outpatient Clinic, which serves approximately 10,000 medically indigent patients a year, was completely renovated and remodeled.

The inpatient area of the Madison East Unit, opened in 1955, was completely remodeled and refurnished.

A hydrotherapy treatment tank and pool for the physically disabled was installed at the Lamar Rehabilitation Unit.

The Urinalysis, Serology, and EKG Laboratories were expanded and renovated.

A 6-bed Intensive Care Unit for respiratory diseases was opened.

A new Audiology Laboratory and a new Gastrointestinal Labora­ tory were opened.

Baptist Memorial Hospital entered into a more formal program with the Mid-South Eye Bank by sponsoring the services of a full-time Eye Bank technician along with two other hospitals. The hospital subscribed to an automated medical data program known as PAS-MAP. This program provides a more thorough approach to medical audit, utilization review, and continuing medical staff education.

Additions to the physical plant included: A new 360-seat Auditorium and Seminar Center to be used primarily for the purpose of medical education and hospital­ related meetings. Approximately 50 percent of the construction 128 1974 ANNUAL

cost of this facility was donated on a voluntary basis by the hospital's medical staff. Construction was begun on a 10-story office building to meet the need for office space of members of the hospital's medical staff.

A 5-level, 1,080-car public parking garage was opened to meet the need for parking space in the medical center area.

Plans were begun for a 400-bed satellite hospital to be established in East Memphis. This facility will replace antiquated facilities in the main hospital with a scheduled opening date of January 1978.

Dr. Jerry S. Warmath, pastor of Pulaski Heights Baptist Church in Little Rock, Arkansas, was guest speaker during Religious Emphasis Week held on March 12-16. "Living Christianity" was the theme of the week-long program which was televised to all patients through the hospital's closed circuit television system.

Miss Dorothy Turner, RN, Surgery Supervisor, retired on April 1 after 45 years of service. Miss Turner saw this department grow from two operating rooms and a staff of four in 1928 to 36 operating rooms and 187 employees at the time of her retirement.

Two new assistant chaplains were appointed, both graduates of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville.

Mr. Robert Scates, Vice President, received the Tennessee Hospital Association's highest honor, the Distinguished Service Award.

The excellence of the hospital's medical staff was evidenced by the number of important positions various members of the staff filled during the year:

Dr. Maury W. Bronstein was elected president of the Memphis Academy of Internal Medicine.

Dr. Robert M. Ruch was elected president of the Memphis Obstetrical and Gynecological Society.

Dr. H. K. Turley, Jr., was elected president of the Southeastern Section of the American Urological Association.

Dr. Harold B. Boyd was named "Outstanding Physician of the Year" by the Tennessee Medical Association.

Dr. Bland Cannon received an award presented annually by the Mid-South Medical Center Council to "the person in this region who has made the greatest contribution to health care."

Dr. Robert M. Miles was elected first vice president of the Southern Surgical Association.

Dr. David Dunavant was elected president of the Memphis-Shelby County Medical Society.

Dr. James H. Hendrix, Jr., was elected president of the American Society of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons. ARKANSAS BAPTIST STATE CONVENTION 129

NOTE 1 - SUMHARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICI ES ;

The Bapti.st Nemo rial HO Spital fol lo\oJed the recommendat ions of the American Hospital Association by ob taining independent appra isals in 1962 and 1964 . The result of these appraisals is reflected in the current year financ ial st atements by sho\.Jing a net increase in the value of properties appraised in the amo un t of $9� 224 .. 607. 2Jo The depreciation expense charged against operat i.ons is computed on the appraised values.

The Ho spital has consistently used a straight line method of de­ preciation, except for Medical Center Plaza Building � For Medicare cost reimbursement accelerated depreciation on historical cost has been used. The cost reimbursement revenue resul ting from accelerated depreciati0n has been deferred in the current year and will be taken into income in future years .

Revenues received under cost reimbursement agreements are subject to audit and retroactive adjustment by third party payors. Provisions for estimated retroactive adjustments under these agreements have been made . An estimate of the current year cost reimbursement in the amount of $512,405 .00 has been included in Accounts Receivable - Patients.
