field of Evangelism, as director of the Centennial Evangelistic Crusade of 1945
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Southern Baptist Convention in
annual session in Miami, Florida, this 15th day of May, 1946, that we most
heartily and prayerfully commend our Brother, Dr. M. E. Dodd, and his faithful
companion, to our Baptist friends of Australia and other countries, and that
we assure him, and them, that our prayers shall attend his evangelistic ministry.

forces of the countries to be visited by Dr. and Mrs. Dodd and that many souls
may accept the Salvation of our Lord and Christ.

MEMORIAL TO SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION
Realizing there is a growing number of obstacles in securing time for broa
casting on the radio religious programs setting forth our Baptist doctrines and
programs, and further realizing the tendency of the United States Government
to limit the number of broadcasting stations for religious purposes—
Therefore be it resolved, that the General Association of Baptists in Kentucky
in regular annual session memorialize the Southern Baptist Convention
to establish its own radio and television broadcasting station at the earliest
possible date.
(Signed) E. D. DAVIS, Secretary
General Association Baptists in Kentucky
Your Committee recommends that the Convention refer this memorial to the
Radio Commission to study this request thoroughly, and report its findings and
recommendations to the 1947 session of this body.

ASSEMBLY
Resolutions. Committee
In view of the great service that the Assembly at Ridgecrest has rendered
to our Southern Baptist constituency and the further fact that limited facilities
and great distances involved make it impossible adequately to serve our increasing
numbers and in view of the further fact that considerable interest has been
expressed by several states, west and southwest, in the establishment of such
assembly somewhere in that territory.
We, therefore, request that a committee of seven be appointed by this convention
to give thorough study to this matter and to report to the convention
in 1947.
J. A. ELLIS, Texas, Chairman
T. W. MEDEARIS, Missouri
WILLIS J. RAY, Arizona
PHILIP C. MCGAHAY, New Mexico
We recommend to the Convention that this request be referred to the Executive
Committee with instructions to confer with the Sunday School Board and to
report their decision to the 1947 session of this Convention.
