THE B. H. CARROLL INTERPRETATION
OF THE SCRIPTURES
Temporarily this great set of books is.off the market. We have secured the
manuscript for the four volumes needed to complete the set, and it is to be
re-issued in a seventeen volume edition in new type with corrections, new format,
and so forth. We believe it will take its place as a permanent leader in this
field. We hope to have it ready this year.
THE MAINTENANCE DEPARTMENT
Under the continued supervision of J. L. McDaniel the large task of keeping
our three buildings in order goes smoothly ahead. Some sixty maintenance
workers are under his direction for this task. Mr. William Donnell has been
assigned as assistant to Mr. McDaniel in this work.
ACCOUNTING DEPARTMENT
R. L. MIDDLETON, General Accountant
The Accounting Department has enjoyed another very active and busy year
during 1945. The enlarged ministry of our Baptist book stores has increased
the volume of business received by the Sunday School Board through the book
stores and other retail dealers. This has necessitated additional workers and
fortunately we have been able to secure some very capable help.
In addition to our responsibility in the handling and auditing of our bills
from publishers and manufacturers for book store purchases, the Accounting
Department has many other responsibilities. During the four quarterly mailing
periods we receive and handle approrimately 45,000 customers' orders each
quarter, which must be carefully audited and checked from every standpoint.
Our customers have co-operated with us in a splendid way by sending in their
orders early, thus making it possible for us to give more time and attention to
each order. Then, too, our customers have co-operated in a fine way in the
matter of prompt payments on their accounts and we are grateful for this.
Continued emphasis is placed on the protection we give to our incoming mail
which contains payments to the Board for orders and on accounts. No one
employee is allowed to complete a transaction where cash receipts and disbursements
are involved. Each transaction is checked by several employees before
final completion. We use the very newest and best equipment for our work and
we continue to be on the lookout for new methods and equipment to improve the
efficient handling of every transaction.
As has been the case during the past several years, the personnel of the
Accounting Department has changed considerably. The return of our men from
various war areas has reunited families and many of our employees have left to
join their returning soldier husbands and families. These have been replaced
