358 SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION
FACTS GLEANED FROM THE REPORT
Our Music Offer Re-stated:
Several of the state mission boards have accepted the Board's proposition to
co-operate in setting forward the entire church music emphasis and we are getting
good reports from them. We are greatly interested in our young people, including
the boys and girls, and believe that the Age-Group Choir organization
plan would utilize them in such a way as to mean much to our church services.
Our offer is to participate financially with the state boards on the following
basis: ,
The Sunday School Board will pay one-third of the salary of a full-ti
well-qualified Secretary of Music, our share in any state not to exceed
$1,200.00 annually. It is understood that the Secretary of Music in each
state will work in co-operation with our Department of Church Music in the
same way that the Sunday school, Training Union, and Student departments
in the various states work with those of our Board.
A Special Student Offer:
A number of the Baptist colleges have accepted the Board's offer to participate
financially, on the conditions outlined, to the extent of one-fourth of the
salary of a full-time Student Secretary who is to be neither a member of the
student body nor of the faculty, but a nexus between the two. The purpose of
this offer is a desire to be of assistance, and to enjoy an even closer co-operation
with our Baptist schools in the promotion of student religious activities.
Such a Student Secretary must serve primarily as a spiritual adviser, a counselor,
and an interpreter of current religious trends, as well as an organizer and
promoter of religious units on the campus.
Special Library Workers:
The Church Library Service has a tremenduos field with limitless possibilities.
mere is great need for additional promotion and guidance. The Board has
authorized each store to employ a specially selected and trained worker to handle
the church library promotion along with other duties. This person is a regular
employee of the store under the direction of the manager and co-operates with
S € *£ eC1 fi i^ c f C h T C * library Service at the Board in all promotional plans
in this field. Several of the stores have secured such a worker and regard this
ministry as a great forward step.
