48 48 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Historical Commission Those who served on the Historical Commission the past year were Loren J. Belt, Glenwood Buzbee, J. W. Hodges. J. M. Gaskin, David C. Hall, R. L. McClung, Roger D. Hebard, Harry M. Roark, and Lee B. Spencer. Meeting. The commission held two meetings during the year-feb. 17, 1956 and Sept. 6, Items of business transacted included approval of arrangements for two historical publications, mentioned below; formal acceptance of the Murrow Press, presented to the Historical Museum at the OBU library by the Atoka church; plans to erect historical markers over the state; erection of the Fountain church building; plans for the historical tour; acceptance of the Marks historical collection; organ-: ization of the Oklahoma Baptist Historical Society, and approval of future objectives listed below. Pnblications Books published this year were. A Question Once Asked, by Argye M. Briggs, published by the Baptist Messenger Press, and Annals of OBU, by James N. "Uncle Jimmy" Owens, published by the Bison Press.. Contests The Commission has continued the two phases of its history contest with prizes of $100, $50 and $25 awarded the first-, second, and third-place winners in each phase of the contest. One phase included written words and the other documentary materials to be used in the future 'as sources for historical research. The chairman of the Commission' was authorized to appoint sub-committeemen to assist in judging entries;. Marken Interest in 'erecting historical markers at significant places in Oklahoma Baptist life has continued to grow, and the Commission-approved 12 tentative sites for markers in this order: (1) the Fountain [Ebenezer] church; (2) Armstrong Academy; (3) the house and grave of H. F. Buckner; (4) the site of Oklahoma Baptist College, Blackwell; (5) the site of "Baptist", near Westville; (6) the grave of Charles Journeycake; (7) the Atoka church; (8) the Providence church; (9) the Tyrone [Panhandle] church; (10) the Philadelphia church; (\\) the Rock Springs church;. (12) Southwest Baptist Academy, Hastings. The plari recommended Jar financing these markers, which will cost $125 each, is for the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma to share in the cost of each :marker to the sum of $75 and associations in which they are located $50 each. Fountain Cburch During the past year a new house of worship was erected for the

49 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 49 Fountain Baptist Church of Muskogee, at a cost of $3,830. Mr. Harold Green, a Baptist layman and construction contractor in Muskogee, erected the building at this unbelievably low price by eliminating his profits and contributing generously himself to the project. Financing of this building was a joint effort by the Oklahoma Baptist State Convention (Negro), the Muskogee Association, the Indian Baptists of Oklahoma and Our Convention, embracing all races of Oklahoma Baptists, commemorating the organization of the Ebenezer church, of which the Fountain church is believed to be the current successor, Sept. 9, This church, organized by Isaac McCoy, had six charter membersthree Negroes, two whites and one Indian. Tour May 10-H, 1956 the Commission sponsored the first historical tour to significant places in Oklahoma Baptist life. This tour. reaching points in ceo.tral and eastern Oklahoma, was eminently successful, with an estimated 300 people participating. Estimated attendance at special services such as the Old Baptist Mission, Westville, and the ground breaking ceremonies for the new Fountain church building, May 11, raised that figure considerably. Historical Society Plans have been approved for the organization of the Oklahoma Baptist Historical Society, auxiliary to the Historical Commission, Bap. tist General Convention of Oklahoma, at a special meeting during this convention. A constitution and by laws have been written and approved by the Commission, and membership fees set at $2 for annual and $25 for life memberships. The organizational meeting has been set for Beverly's Hideaway, 52nd and Sante Fe, 5:00 p.m. on Wed., Nov. 14, Dr. Norman W. Cox, executive secretary, Southern Baptist Historical. Commission, Nashville, Tenn., is to be the guest speaker. Marks Collection The Commission voted Sept. 6, 1956, to formally act in behalf of the Baptist General Convention in accepting the historical collec tion of the late L. W. Marks, which was offered to us in person on that date by Marks' son, L. W. Marks Jr., and his grandson, Fred Marks. ''Book Business" Sept. 6, 1956, the Commission authorized the chairman to go into the "book busine&s" in an attempt to sell the few remaining copies of the books on hand published in our historical series beginning in These books may be purchased at specially reduced rates at the Book Store and Historical Commission exhibits during this convention. This move was deemed wise to assist the convention in regaining its initial investments in the publication of the series. Encyclopedia The Oklahoma section, consisting of 32,000 words of fully documented material, for the Encyclopedia of Southern Baptists has been

50 50 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST completed as of Nov. 1, 1956, the final deadline for submitting all monographs to the Historical Commission in Nashville, Tenn. Your commission chairman has served as the Oklahoma member on the general committee of the encyclopedia from its beginning, and has been editorial chairman of the Oklahoma section and done the research and written most of the Oklahoma material. The encyclopedia is scheduled for publication in October, Objectives In part or in detail, the following objectives have been approved by the commission for the future: 1. Another historical tour will be sponsored May 9-10, A committee will be appointed to consider the advisability of publishing the L. W. Marks manuscript, now in the Heritage Room, BU library. 3. A statewide effort will be made to secure memberships in the proposed HIstorical Society. 4. Associations will be solicited to aid financially in the erection of the proposed historical markers. 5. The two phases of the history contest sponsored tbe past two years will be continued at least one more year. This is to encourage those who have valuable historical materials in their private possession to give them to our ever.. growing collection, and to stimulate further interest in the writing of histories on the church and association levels. 6. Continued emphasis will be placed on the collection of associational minutes. Our biective is a complete file of minutes for every active association in Oklahoma. J. M. Gaskin, chairman Historical Commission 20. Motion carried to adopt the report. ' 21. Reverend H. Truman Maxey, superintendent of the Department of Child Care, gve the report on the ork. The entire personnel of the Orphans' Home and Boys Ranch Town was presented to the Convention. Several music;').! numbers were presented by the children and by the boys from Ranch Town. An offering was received for the work totaling $ Motion carried to adopt report. Department of Child Care Introduction On Sept. 7, the Board of Directors of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma voted to set up a new department or agency called, Department of Child Care, and elected H. Truman Maxey,

51 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 51 General Superintendent. This department was formed to administer the operation of the Boys Ranch Town and the Baptist Orphans' Home They are to remain as separate institutions but do two distinct types of Child Care work. In support, they will operate under one budget. Boys Ranch Town At present our campus has one cottage with capacity for twenty boys, a recreational building, a farm house and a few smaller farm sheds. Mr. Charles Boldin. is the resident superintendent. Blue prints are being drawn for the Gensman cottage. From her will $80,000 was received. This building will bring the total capacity to 40. No pro. vision has been made for furniture or fixtures. To build needed curbs, surfacing of, roads, and other improvements, we will need $25,000. Baptists must move rapidly in this particular field of caring for underprivileged boys for the need is so great. Baptist Orphans' Home With the dedication of the Rinard and George cottages we can now care for 215 children in residence. We have passed the 1,800 mark in total enrolment during the 53 years of existence. There is still a need for a laundry building, a Ybrary, a gymnasium and some concrete playground courts. The older dormitory buildings should be remodeled to make them equal to the other eight cottages. Mr. James V: Browning has been named as resident superintendent. Much planning is done to train the staff of employees to be efficient and capable in their work of Child Care. Conclusion The whole program of Child Care now combined under one management and. one plan of support means an enlarged ministry. The'support will come through personal gifts, Cooperative Program allotment, endowment and church budgets and the usual special of. ferings the Baptist Home has always promoted. The "One Day's Pay" thi year carries the slogan of "More Than Ever Before." Now with two homes and a total capacity for 235 children, Baptists will give the best kind of help and service to. the needy and underprivileged of Qur state. H. Truman Maxey General Superintendent Department of Child Care 23. Dr. Auguie Henry, executive secretary of the Baptist Foundation, gave the Report of the Foundation. Judge W. R. Wallace, president of the Foundation, presided and presented the personnel of the Foundation. 24. Motion carried to adopt the report.

52 52 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Report of Board of Directors Of Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma for the period Jan. 1, 1956 to Sept. 30, 1956 Introduction This is the tenth report of the Board of Directors of The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma to _ the Baptist General Convention of the State of Olahoma. However, the report does not actually cover an operating report of ten years. Although the Foundation was created and established by the 1946 Convention, offices were not opened until April 7, Furthermore, this report includes only the first nine months of 1956 as the policy of the Foundation from now on will be to report to the Convention on the basis of the calendar year rather than from October 1 through September 30 so that the reports will conform with the annual objectives and to the auditor's reports. For comparison we give the year by year receipts of the Foundation from April 7, 1947, to Sept. 30, 1956: 1947 $114, L 54, , :' 202, L 185, $ 122, ,214, , , ,210.90' Total received 9 years and 6 months $3,676, *-(Jan. I-Sept. 30) 1956 Receipts The cash receipts from Jan. 1 to Sept. 30 (nine months) amounted to $395, Receipts in personal and real properties of various kinds amounted to $128,563.57, or a total in receipts of $524, Disbursements to the Convention and to institutions and agencies as capital funds, endowment income and miscellaneous items have amounted to $181, The assets of the Foundation as of Sept. 30, 1956, were $1,979, The anticipated receipts for the calendar year of 1956, including what has been received during the past nine months, what is due te Foundation on individual pledges, and which is due or will be due the Foundation on endowment income, pledges, or from estates, as of Dec. 31, 1956, amount to $910, The goal of a million dollars in receipts during 1956 could be Plore than realized if the messengers to this Convention would help the Foundation in the procurement of some additional living trusts and gift annuities. The living trusts may include cash, other personal properties, such as stocks, bonds, etc., and real properties. We will not have time to begin the probate of additional wills and close them in time for the Foundation to receive benefit from same during So, the $90,000 needed on the basis of anticipated receipts for us to reach the

53 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 53 goal of a million dollars during 1956 must come from living trusts and gft annuities. Endowment Of the $1,979,02!.38 assets as of Sept. 30, 1956, $1,459, are endowment. Practically all of the anticipated receipts for the next three months of 1956 will be for endowment. Oklahoma Baptist institutions and agencies alone need ten million dollars for endowment now. Southern Baptist causes need millions for endowment. The importance of endowment for denominational colleges and universities received a great emphasis by the granting of millions of dollars to these institutions by the Ford Foundation during December, We are grateful for the $130,000 received in July, 1956, on a $240,000 grant from the Ford Foundation for Oklahoma Baptist University endowment. The balance of the $240,000 grant will be payable in WiUs and Trusts The 1956 goal of trusts and wills to be written was 100. During the first nine months of 1956 the Foundation has assisted in writing 75 wills. We expect to reach our 1956 goal in the number of wills written. There are other wills which have been written with the Foundation named as the legatee or devisee for Baptist causes, but the 75 is the number that we have assisted in writing and of which we have the original Or copy. We are encouraged by the number of non-testamentary, or living trusts, that are being written. The more the people know about this method of contributing to Baptist causes the more they realize that this is the best way to make special contributions to these cause. Chnrch Building Loan Trust Fund The first church building loan was closed in June, During the short period of 27 months, or since the first such loan was made, the Foundation has made 63 loans, which have been closed or committed, for the -amount of $881, Because of the increase in endowment receipts that could be used as investments in church building loans, the board, on May 17, 1956, raised the maximum amount for a loan from $20,000 to $40,000. The Foundation operates the Church Building Loan Trust Fund as a service to the churches. But, inasmuch as endowment and other long term funds are used in making these loans they must be made on a strictly business basis. In other words, the funds used for church building loans are sacred trust funds. They are not funds that can be given away. Buildings Funds have been {eceived for the following building programs: On June 13, 1956, the Foundation received $80, as a be-

54 54 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST quest to the Foundation from. the estate of Lucia E. Gensmen, deceased. Mrs. Gensmen, who resided at Lawton, Okla., designated,in her,will that the bequest be used for Boys Ranch Town but made no designation as to the manner in which it should be used. The directors of the Foundation have -agreed to use the major portion of the bequest for the construction of a memorial building at Boys Ranch Town. The Convention has employed an architect to draw plans for the building, which will be completed sometime during From the estates of Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rinard, First Church, Ada, $11, has been rece.ived for the construction and 'furnishing of the John D. Rinard Cottage at The Oklahoma Baptist Orphans' Home, which was dedicated on April 29, This year's receipts made a total of $91, which has been received from these estates and which represents the total amount of the cost for construction and furnishing of this memorial cottage. From the estates of Drs. Maud and James T. George, First Church, Oklahoma City, $ has been received as an addition to the $64, previously received from tiiese estates and an additional $10,000 has been received by the Foundation for this building, making a. total of $75, which has been received by the Foundation toward the construction and furnishing of the $103, cottage, dedicated on April 29, On pledges for the Baptist Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City, the amount of $ has been received. This made a total amount in receipts of $310, for this hospital as of Sept. 30. Thi. includes not only receipts from the Oklahoma City-County Campaign but some contributions received prior to the campaign and since the campaign was closed. In addition to the above buildings, the Foundation has received contributions for: Golden Age Home, Oklahoma City; Wilburton BSU; BSU at A&M College, Stillwater; and Girls Town. The amount of $40, was paid to the Oklahoma Baptist University, as the balance of $250,000 toward the construction of the Mrs. W. S. Kerr Memorial Dormitory. The $250,000 was contributed to the Foundation by Sen. Robert S. Kerr for this dormitory. OBU Chapel The Foundation has $3, for the OBU Chapel. If the Convention approves the recommendation of the Board of Directors of the Convention, authorizing the University to lead in an effort to procure a minimum pledge of $500,000 for tho Chapel, the Found" tion will receive the funds and hold same in trust until sufficient funds are available for construction. Also, the Foundation will procure gifts for the Chapel. Anyone desiring to make a pledge for the Chapel may do so directly to the Foundation. Hugo Golden Age Home On Sept. 12, 1956, the Foundation took title to 68 acres of land,

55 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 55 adjoining the city of Hugo, as the site for a Golden Age Home. The land was contributed by Mr. and Mrs. William Baskett of Antlers. This gift will not only carry the names of Wi11iam and Nora 011ie Cole Baskett, but also that of Mr. and Mrs. E. Lee Baskett, who previously owned one-half interest in the land, but who deeded same to the William Basketts. The citizens_ of Hugo and southeastern Oklahoma have launched a campaign to raise $65,000 toward the construction of the first building for this new institution. It has been agreed that all monies collected from this campaign will be paid to the Foundation to be held in trust until the funds are used for the construction of the first building. The Convention has agreed,to contribute an additional $35,000 upon the condition that the citizens' campaign produces the $65,000. Gift Annuities On May 17, 1956, the Board of Directors of The Foundation revised the Gift Annuity contract. As of May 17, the Foundation guarantees to an annuitant a definite, unchangeable amount of income per year on any amount deposited with the Foundation as a Gift Annuity. The interest is paid semi-annually. Also, the rates for the single and joint,annuities were adjusted to conform with the recently adjusted rates of other Baptist Foundations and organizations issuing Gift Annuity contracts. These rates can be had by contacting the F01,lndation. The revised folder, "A Guaranteed Life Income for You," sets out in detail the present Gift Annuity of the Foundation. These folders will be mailed upon request. Investments The Foundation's Investment Committee meets at noon every second Monday of each month to.consider and take action on investment matters. The committee strives to maintain a well-balanced portfolio of investments with good security and with an income commensurate with these two basic principles. The rate of earnings on investments during 1955 amounted to 5.9 per cent. Expansi_on Because of the phenomenal growth of the Foundation, both in services rendered and in the administration of trusts, it has been necessary to add three new employees to the staff during The present personnel is as follows: Dr. Auguie Henry, executive secretarytreasurer; Rev. Horace L. Janes, assistant executive secretary; Rev. Earl L. Stark, field secretary; Mr. George Miller Jr., attorney; Miss Edoamae White, secretary to Dr. Auguie Henry; Miss Jeannie Henry, secretary to Rev. Horace L. Janes; Miss BeIlzora Dippel, chief accountant; and Mrs. Opal Miller, assistant accountant. Institutions help to provide the salary and operating expenses of the field secretary. The remainder of the Foundation's operating budget is provided by an allocation from the Cooperative Program.

56 56 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST This means that a donor can be assured that every penny of his gift to the Foundation will be used according to his designation, as the Foundation's operating expenses are provided by the methods stated.. In addition to the services of the Foundation to Baptist institutions and agencies, an increasing number of individuals are calling upon the Foundation for various services. These services include, among others, the assistance to individuals in estate planning, or estate analysis, assisting individuals. and attorneys in the writing of trusts and wills, serving as the trustee of trust funds for loved ones and others, and serving as executor and as administrator of estates. The Foundation handles considerable monies and properties that are not shown in the Foundation's annual report to the Convention because they are not funds or properties received by the Foundation as trusts for Baptist causes. They involve trusts and estates which individuals have asked the Foundation to administer. These individuals are donors to the Foundation for Baptist causes. The Foundation has to give an account to the courts for the trusts administered for those other than Baptist institutions and agencies. Election of Board Members We recom!l1end that Hugh A. Jolley, of Enid, Dr. C. C. Morris, Ada, Bryce Twitty of Tulsa, and R. A. Young, of Oklahoma City, be elected directors for- a four-year term. Then the complete personnel of the board and their periods of service would be as follows: Four-Year Term Two-Year Term Hugh A. Jolley Robert S. Kerr C. C. Morris T. B. Lackey Bryce Twitty W. R.

We recommend that the following Objectives be approved by the convention and that every possible assistance be given the Foundation toward reaching these objectives: 1. To procure a minimum of $10,000,000 as endowment funds.. 2. To procure capital funds "in addition to the endowment funds. 3. To write a total of 1,230 trusts and wills as follows: To write a total of 1,030 gift annuities as follows: To have $5,000,000 invested iri church building loans.

59 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 59 "Implementing the Forward Look" During the years the Foundation promoted a program for associational workers' conferences, known as "The Baptist Tour with a Forward Look." This program has been presented in all of the 39 associations and with a repetition in two. It has been presented in two Indian associational meetings. We feel that in the presentation of this program considerable progress has been made toward informing the Baptists of Oklahoma regarding Baptist institutions and agencies and how they may support them with endowment and capital funds through the Foundation. On Sept. 9, 1956, the Foundation launched another promotional program known as "Implementing the Forward Look." This,is an intensive program for the procurement of living trusts, wills and gift. annuities for Baptist causes. Arrangements are made for speakers from the Baptist Building to be in the pulpits of churches in regional centers of the state, or in churches of towns and communities near these centers,. on Sunday morning and evening and on Wednesday night. It is anticipated that it wij) take four years to present this program in the regional areas of the state. Representatives of the Foundation will remain in the areas in which these programs are presented for a week of followup work. We recommend the approval by the Convention of this program and urge Associational leaders and pastors to cooperate in the promotion of the program Goals The Foundation will most heartily cooperate with the Convention in the Associational "All-Church Leadership Clinics" during the months. of January through April, 1957, along with the "Implementing the Forward Look." and its usual promotiona1 program. We recommend the following goals for 1957: 1. Total receipts -for endowment-$i,ooo,ooo.oo. 2. Contn'butions of various types as capital funds for all of the institutions. 3. Assist in writing 100 living!rusts and wills. 4. Write 25 gift annuities. In conclusion, the time has come when Oklahoma Baptists should take seriously 11 CClr. 8:11 in relation to the endowment and capital needs of Baptist agencies and institutions-"now therefore perform the doing of it; that as there was a readiness to will so there may be a performance also out of that which ye have." NOTE: Since the approval of this report by the Directors. the Foundation has experienced a great sorrow occasioned by the passing of Dr. C. C. Morris, of Ada, on Oct. 24. Morris was one of the original Directors of the Foundaticn. He was a faithful member of the Board. He believed in the Foundation and was always ready in meetings and over the radio to speak a word in behalf of the Foundation's program to procure, safeguard and invest end-:>wment and capital funds for Baptist institutions and agencies. Morris was an outstanding minister and businessman. His counsel will be greatly missed on the Foundation's Board.

60 60 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 25. Report on Religious Literature and Baptist Messenger was given by John W. Brill, Wagoner. Dr. Jack Gritz, editor of the Baptist Messenger, spoke to the report. 26. Motion carried to adopt the report. Religious Literature and The Baptist Messenger The printed page has become the indispensable medium of conveying information to the peoples of the world. The Apostle Paul wrote to the churches and individuals. John the revelator was commanded to write what he witnessed. The Baptist Messenger carries a written message into the homes of our Baptist people each week. There is no better periodical in print that can so thoroughly inform the people of our churches concerning Baptist work in Oklahoma, southwide, and worldwide, than the Baptist Messenger. Its doctrinal discussions, devotional readings, denominational news, and general information of interest to Baptists is of inestimable value to our Baptist life. The value and popularity of the Baptist Messenger is seen when we realize that 820 Oklahoma Baptist churches are now including our state paper in their budgets with a total circulation of 75,813. Our capable editor, Jack Gritz, and his staff are writing and compiling articles and editorials which are designed to be of a helpful nature in deepening the faith and also in discussing problems of current importance to all those interested. in the application of Christian principles to everyday problems. The Baptist Messenger promotes all' the agencies and institutions of our Baptist work and every pastor is urged to get our state paper into the hands and homes of the members of our churches. In addition to our own state paper our Sunday School Board has supplied aptists with true to the Bible and applicable to life literature of every description for every age and need. The Baptist Book stores in Tulsa and Oklahoma City stand ready to serve gladly and faithfully Baptists of Oklahoma for their every printed need. "These things are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the SOh of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name." Respectively submitted, Felix R. Wagner, Chairman, John W. Brill, Clarence Bergen, J. Paul Carleton and W. Troy Baker 27. Report on Falls Creek Assembly was presented by Sam W. Scantlan, manager. 28. Dr. T. B. Lackey, executive secretary-treasurer, presented the report of the Board of Directors. Report is to be adopted at a later session.

61 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 61 Report of the Board of Directors of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma Introduction One hundred twenty-four years ago, Sept. 9, 1832, the first Baptist church was organized in what is now the state of Oklahoma. There were only six members, three of whom were Negro slaves. They had no building, no institutions, no organizations through which to work, and no money. They had God, a determined will, and faith. For nearly 75 years these Baptists were divided between Indian and Oklahoma territories and between Northern and Southern Baptist Conventions. At one time there were four conventioqs in Oklahoma. Fifty years ago, Nov. 9, 1906, one year before statehood, these groups were united into the Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma. What a day! We pause on this Golden Jubilee to give thanks to Almighty God for his abundant blessings and to OUf brethren of 50 years ago for their wise unselfish labor and farsighted vision. This Jubilee year of 1956 will go down in history as one of the great years in the work of Oklahoma Baptists. The slogan has been "More Than Ever Before" in everything. The Jubilee year is being consummated with a pageant entitled "Make Straight the Way." Presented by Oklahoma Baptist University under the direction of Mrs. Jeanne Adams Wray and the dramatics department, this pageant will portray 124 years of Baptist work, particularly the last 50 years of Oklahoma Baptist history. The Public Relations office prepared a motion picture, "The Baptist Story," which was shown in every association and in many churche during the year. BOARD ORGANIZED Dec. 2, 1955, President Max Stanfield called the Board of Directors for organization and other business. The following committees have served faithfully: Executive J. W. Wade Hale A.

Other reports by departments, agencies, institutions, and committees, are given elsewhere. BUILDING PROGRAM Orphans' Home Two new buildings have been completed at a cost of $195, They are the Dr. James and Maude George building and the John R. Rinard building. Dedication services were held April 29, We are. indebted to the friends who made these attractive and much needed buildings possible. Nunny-Cha-ba The WMU Youth camp named Nunny-Cha-ha was opened last summer. Sixteen cottages and a large dining room and kitchen have been completed. More than $129, has already been invested. In addition to this amount, the Convention has invested $4,000 for streets and utilities. When other needed buildings and improveluents are added, Nunny-Cha-ha will be one of the finest camps for trai,ning youth in missionary work to be found anywhere. We commend Woman's Missionary Union for raising funds for such worthy project. Baptist Memorial Hospital At last a suitable location has been acquired for the building of a Baptist hospital in Oklahoma City. Sixty-two acres located on North-I west Highway and Grand Boulevard and overlooking Oklahoma City will provide a most beautiful setting. Seventeen acres valued at $145,- 000 were purchased for the hospital proper. Because of the' generosity of Mr. and Mrs. Leroy Smith, who reduced the price of their land in the amount of $50,000, and Mr. and Mrs. James Battle, who deducted $5,000 from the original price, the Convention was fortunate in being able to purchase the 17 acres for $90,000. May 17, 1956, several thousand people gathered on the building site. to break ground.

63 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 63 An administrator's home has already been constructed at a cost of approximately $22,000. Work on the hospital proper should be started within a few weeks. The administrator's bouse allowance will take care of payments on the residence. Miami Hospital April 1, 1956, ground was broken for a new wing on the Miami Baptist Hospital. On June 21, 1956, a contract was let for $181,944. The hospital will be modernized and bed capacity increased from 60 to 100. Approximately $250,000 will be expended on the enlargement and improvement program. Kerr Memorial Dormitory The Mrs. W. S. Kerr Memorial Dormitory at Oklahoma Baptist University has been completed at a totaj cost of $875,000. Senator Robert S. Kerr contributed $250,000 of this amount, and the balance will be handled through a long time loan which will be self-liquidating, and the Cooperative Program. At the beginning of the fall semester, 1956, this most modern and beautiful dormitory to be found on any college campus was ready for 200 girls. Boys Ranch Town We are thankful to God for putting it in the heart of Mrs. Lucia E. Gensman of Lawton to remember Boys Ranch Town in her will. Approximately $80,000 is available for the second building at the ranch. We expect to have this cottage ready for twenty more boys by the opening of school in the fall of These are the major building projects. Many other improvements have been made during the year. ' The Building Committee is composed of: Robert S. Scales, Oklahoma City; Frank Baugh, Shawnee; Frank Kellogg, Hobart; H. Tom Wiles, Lawton; James A. rvey, Okmulgee; J. B. Shinn, Rush Springs; Jack Carroll, EI Reno; J. Thurmond George, Duncan; Hugh Bumpas, Oklahoma City; J. W. Storer, Tulsa, and Carlos Berry, Purcell. The following were appointed to serve as a special committee for the building of the Baptist Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City: Robert S. Scales, Chairman, H. H. Hobbs, M. E.Ramay, R. A. Young and Hugh Bumpas. GOLDEN AGE HOMES Oklahoma City Twenty acres adjacent to the Baptist Memorial 'Hospital on Northwest Highway and Grand Boulevard have been designated for the Golden Age Home. This tract, costing $80.000, is the most beautiful building site one could imagine. Architects are preparing plans for construction of the first unit, which wiii. be built as funds are available.

64 64 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Hugo Friends in and near Hugo have taken considerable interest in requesting the convention to build such a home in that area. One family made a will to the Baptist Foundation leaving a sizeable estate for the Golden Age Home as well as giving a 68-acr tract adjoining the city of Hugo for this purpose, provided the home is built within five years. Businessmen and civic leaders in Hugo are quite nthusiastic about this project and have volunteered to raise at least $65,000, if the convention will build and operate the home. We would need at least $100,000 to build the first unit. The convention agreed to build and operate a' Golden Age Home in Hugo and contribute $35,000 to the project on the condition that $65,000 be received from the Hugo area. The convention's part will have to be raised from interested friends and the appropriation to the Golden Age Home from the Cooperative Program. The Golden Age Homes will be operated as our hospitals and under the same general administration. They will not be charity institutions. Residents will be expected to pay the major portion of operating costs. The convention will provide buildings and equipment and operate attractive, clean Christian homes for elderly people who desire to live in such atmosphere. PURCHASE OF LAND Approximately 62 acres of land was purchased in Oklahoma City for the Baptist Hospital, Golden Age Home, and other purposes. There are approximately 2,600 feet bordering on Northwest Highway and 1,500 feet on Grand Boulevard. Total cost was $319, Two families from whom land was purchased gave $55,000 leaving a total cost of $264, Three acres have been designated for the proposed Highland Hills Baptist Church, 17 acres for Baptist Memorial Hospital, 20 acres for Golden Age Home, two acres for nurses' home, and one-half acre for administrator's home. This leaves approximately 20 acres for future needs. As this ttractive Baptist center is developed on the highest elevation overlooking Downtown Oklahoma City on one side and Lake Hefner on the other, it will become one of the beauty spots of Oklahoma City. FOUNTAIN BAPTIST CHURCH The convention contributed $2,500 toward the erection of a new building, cost of which was $4,000, for the Fountain Baptist Church located on, or near, the spot where the first Baptist church in Oklahoma was organized by Isaac McCoy Sept. 9, The Fountain Church, Negro Baptist Convention, Muskogee Baptist Association, and others, contributed the balance. CORDELL HOSPITAL The City of Cordell is building a new bed hospital and has invited the coo\,ention to operate the institution under a lease

65 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 65 agreement similar to other hospitals now operated. This matter was referred to the Hospital Committee with power to act. The hospital building is now under construction and should be ready for use by the end of OKLAHOMA BAPTIST UNIVERSITY CHAPEL Oklahoma Baptists love OBU. We want young people attending this Christian institution to have the very best in instruction and facilities. The next great need at OBU is a beautiful and worshipful chapel. The cost of such chapel has been estimated at $1,000,000. If all the present Cooperative Program allocation to OBU for building purposes is designated for the chapel, it will take 10 years to provide necessary funds. We must not wait that long! A number of our leaders have tried to think through a plan to secure additional funds in order that the structure may be erected at the earliest possible date. We propose- an -effort to set up, a committee of 1,000 people, each of whom will give $500 or more for this pnrpose. All who contribute $500 or more will receive a certificate and the name of the donor will appear on a beautiful memorial plaque in the chapel. The idea is not to conduct a campaign in the churches; rather, an effort to find individuals or groups who will want to participate. We believe that if we do not ask for less than $500, it will not conflict with local church budgets. All funds for the chapel will be received and held in trust by the Baptist Foundation until sufficient funds are available for construction. The Board of Trustees and the president of OBU will take the initiative and lead in setting up the committee. DEPARTMENT OF CHILD CARE ESTABLISHED Oklahoma Baptists have been in the child care ministry for 53 years. The oldest institution in our convention is the Oklahoma Baptist Orphans Home. Under the able leadership of H. Truman Maxey, those associated with him, and his predecessors, one of the finest homes in the nation has been built. A little more than three years ago the Boys Ranch Town was established to care. for a different. type of boy, in the main, than those at the Orphans' Home. Boys Ranch Town has made substantial gains and has already provided a horne for more than 40 boys. Oklahoma Baptists and other friends have accepted this horne in a remarkable way. The second building will soon be under construction and the Baptist Foundation holds over $400,000 in endowment for this institution. We are indebted to the following workers and their families who have pioneered in the operation of Boys Ranch Town: J. A.

66 66 ANr-njALoF THE BAPTIST 'Russell, Judson Cook, Orville Johnson, Fred Proctor, and Sam W. :Scantlan. Much thought and prayer have been given to the best possible way to operate both Boys Ranch Town and the Orphans' Home. A thorough study made of other,states baving,more than one institution for the care of children, as well as OUf own experience, convinces, us that a '. unified program, under -one administration, is the most practical,. economical, and least confusing to the people who con tribute to such worthy causes., ' Sept. 7, 1956, the Board of Directors established the Department of 'Child Care nd elected H. Truman Maxey as general superintendent. Both,the Orphans' Home and Boys Ranch Town will be operated under this administration. Each home will continue as a separate entity. Funds de6ignated to each home will go as designated. During the short time these institutions have operated under the new arrangement substantial progress and improvements have been made and considerable expenses saved. We are confident that ali our people will 'continue to give thes homes, the same fine support they have had since their beginning, ' FALLS CREEK ASSEMBLY EXPANDS, FallS Creek assembly is one of the largest and most farreaching religious encampments in the world. During its 40 years of history, ousands have gone out from these sacred grounds dedicated to the cali of God. During the two weeks just closed, there were 21,524 registered. Of the 12,268 registering the first week, 5,402 were full time. During the second week, registration totaled 9,256, with registering full,tim., There were 168 professions of faith and a total of 1,760 decisions for Christ. I We believe that every Oklahoma Baptist should have the privilege of attending this inspiring meeting. However, more effective work can be done with fewer on the grounds a.t one time., Churches not using their. cabins all three weeks will doubtless want to rent to other churches for a fair and equitable fee. This will make it possible for Baptist friends from other churches to receive the blessings of Falls Creek, as well as to help churches that own cabins to have income for upkeep and expenses. We believe that every pastor and all of our people will co-operate fully so that' Falls Creek may continue to be a blessing to many thousands throughout Oklahoma. The Board of Directors in session Friday, Sept. 7, voted to extend the assembly period in 1957 to three weeks as follows: First week, July Second week July Third week Aug. 1-8 Sam W Scantlan, superintendent of Rural and City Missions, will serve, as Falls Creek manager. Brother Scantlan's love for Falls

67 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 67 Creek and his previous experience as Falls Creek manager during the period qualifies him for this place of service. Also, since Falls Creek is one of our greatest missionary projects, it fjts well ",ith the Department of Rural and City Missions. Due to the rapid growth of our Baptist hospitals and Golden Age Homes in Oklahoma, Tom E. Carter, who has managed Falls Creek so efficiently the past two years, will devote more time to these institutions. We have secured th'ree outstanding preachers in the Southern Baptist Convention for the speakers in the 1957 assembly-first week, Albert McClellan, director of publications and associate secretary of the Executive Committee of the Southern Baptist Convention; second week, Dr. E. Hermond Westmoreland, pastor, South Main Baptist Church, Houston; Texas; third week, Dr. Baker 'James Cauthen, executive secretary of the Forein Mission Board. BAPTIST MESSENGER Ten years have passed-1946 to without an increase in the cost of the Baptist Messenger. They have been years of rising costs in all the things essential to producing a magazine,. such as labor, materials, and paper stock. It has been found necessary to increase the,subscription price of the paper to the,churches in order to operate on a sound basis financially. The :Soard of Directors voted to increflse the subscription price of the Messenger to the churches from $1.20 to $1.60 per year effective Oct. 1, The individual subscription price will remain the same as it has been since the paper was founded in 1912, which is $2.00 per year. The club rate (groups of five or more) was increased Oct. 1 from $1.50 per year to $1.75 per year. The Board of Directors also voted to launch an intensive cam paign to increase the circulation of the Baptist Messenger from the present 75,000 to and that all churches be urged to add new members to the Messenger mailing list; also that churches not iq the budget plan at present be encouraged to adopt the church budget subscription plan. J. MARVIN GASKIN COMMENDED J. Marvin Gaskin, pastor, First Baptist Church, Heavener, and secretary of the Historical Commission for the Baptist General Con: vention of the State of Oklahoma, has done an excellent job preparing and writing monographs concerning work in Oklahoma for the Southern Baptist Encyclopedia. It has taken the greater portion of five years to accumulate facts, prepare, and write these materials. He has spent hundreds of hours in research and bas traveled far and wide. His time, energy and interest have been given unstintingly in this field. The encyclopedia is due to be published in October of 1957.

68 68 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST COOPERATIVE PROGRAM Gifs to missions through the Cooperative Program continue to increase. Many have accepted the suggestion that an increase of at least $1 per resident member be made in the goal for During the first nine months of 1956, Cooperative Program re- ceipts were $1,504,378.41, as compared to $1,326, for the same period in This reflects an increase of $177, over the previous year. We feel optimistic about the possibility of reaching the 1956 goal of $2,000,000 by the end of December.

Income From Sunday School Board and Home Mission Board (Estimated) $ 25,000 Estimated from Cooperative Program 970,979 $ BUDGET ANALYSIS For several years, Oklahoma, by agreement with other states and Southern Baptist Convention leaders, has deducted certain expenses before the division of funds. These are: Administration, Promotion, Retirement, Baptist Messenger, and Woman's Missionary Union. The Southern Baptist Convention feels that by the deduction of these items before division, it has a share in expenses necessary for raising funds for both state and Southern Baptist Convention causes. Various items_ in the state convention budget are listed. The first column shows the expense and income for The second shows the 1956 budget. The third shows the estimated needs for When this is accepted, it becomes the budget for 1957, subject to necessary changes during the year which may be made by the Board of Directors. Certain items preceded by two lasterisks are those which are contingent upon the amount of money received and the meeting of other budgetary needs. This is done by agrel?ment with all concerned. To meet the increased demands occasioned by more pastors entering the retirement program, the retirement item has been increased by $4,000. We are proud to note that after the deduction of items agreed upon by the state and Southern Baptist conventions before the division of funds, there remains $1,941,958 to be divided fifty-fifty between Oklahoma and the Southern Baptist Convention. This division will make available $970,979 to the Southern Baptist Convention from the Oklahoma Cooperative Program if the total budget for 1957 is reached. This will be more for the Southern Baptist Convention in 19:57 than was received for all causes in The division of the $970,979 among the various causes of Southern Baptist Convention support is" of course, decided upon by the Southern Baptist Convention itself. The percentages vary from year to year according, to the needs. Oklahoma's proposed contribution of $970,979 from the Cooperative Program, 1957, will be shared by the following items: Southern Baptist Convention Budget Fund, Foreign Mission Board, Home Mission Board, Relief and Annuity Board Southern Baptist Seminary, Southwestern Baptist Seminary, New Orleans Baptist Seminary. Golden Gate Seminary, Southeastern Seminary, Radio Commission,' American Baptist Seminary Commission, Carver School of Missions and Social Work, Woman's Missionary

78 78 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Unioo, Southern Baptist Hospital, Baptist Brotherhood Commission, Public Affairs Committee, Baptist World Alliance, Southern Baptist Foundation, Education Commission, Historical Commission, Christian Life Commission, and Miscellaneous.. Oklahoma Baptist University building and Oklahoma Baptist University Endowment and Church Loan Fund items remain at $100,000 each or a total of $200,000. This enables us to supplement the building program from the Cooperative Program and to add to ille endowment for OBU. The amount for OBU endowment is placed with the Baptist Foundation and made available for loans to churches. Only the proceeds of the endowment can be used by the university. The $2,200 for Rural Church Building Fund has not been changed in amount for several years. It is administered through Mr. Scantlan's office and is primarily an emergency item. The 1957 National Men's Conference item of $1,500 is our financial contribution toward this great meeting of men to be held in Oklahoma City Sept , This item will help to pay part of the:' expenses of the conference. Grace Rescue Mission is spnsored by the Downtown Baptist Church and the Oklahoma County Baptist Association. The $600 given to it annually from the' Cooperative Program helps to make possible a very fine work among unfortunate people. A few years ago, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma agreed to assist in the building of roads and the provision of utilities at the Falls Creek WMU Camp which is fidanced by the WMU. The item listed Falls Creek WMU Camp in the general budget should be continued until such roads and utilities have been provided. The $900 for Indian work represents our contribution to the work don.e by Bailey Sewell for the Home Mission Board. Our convention provides his office, utilities, and a few other incidentals. The item for assemblies provides $500 financial assistance _ to each of the seven district Baptist assemblies. This permits our convention to have a small part in the work of these' assemblies in seven different areas of the state. The item for the Langston School of Religion at Langston, Okla., helps to provide for the training of Negro Baptist ministers. Under United Drys, we have continued the $1,200 annual support for the regular work of this organization and have added a special item of $3,800 for the United Dry Campaign for local option which seems likely to come in The item for BSU centers will complete our payment on the buildings at Stillwater and Norman and will provide some help for other centers. In Glorieta we are continuing payment on Oklahoma Hall. The item for buildings at Boys Ranch Town will be applied on the deficit left from the first buildidg and improvements. The $150,000 marked for the Oklahoma City Hospital represents another payment on our total objective of $1,000,000 for the con

79 GENERAL CPNVENTIOl'!".oF OE:LAHOMA 7':1. ventipn's part in this project. This amount -is to "match. the.fuds raised by. Oklahoma City-County. "..... Land for the erection of the Oklahoma City Nurses. School and the Oklahoma City Golden Age Home was purchased in connectioq with the Oklahoma City Hospital land and has been. set aside for such purposes. However, we must begin payment on the land for these two institutions, so they are included in this budget. The item for Visual Aids equipment will enable us to coninue purchase of essential equipment.... The Contingent Fund is to care for those xpenses which.are liable but not certain to ocur. These numerous incidental expenes. cannot be foreseen or planned for. Nevertheess, they occur annually. The Miscellaneous item is to care for those numerous and divere expenses, too involved to be mentioned in detail, but which must definitely be planned for annually. For example, the $3,000 item marked "Special for 50th Anniversary Expense for 1956" will not be adequate. Expense for that item over and above the budget desig nation will have to come from the Miscellaneous or Contingent funds for Administration The budget for Administration remains basically the same as the one for There is slight increase in two or three items and a corresponding reduction in others. The increase is brought about by added services and the decrease by economy in purchase and the doubling up of personnel duties.. Promotion Increased use of literature and mission publicity and increased board and committee expenss made necessary a slight increase in these items in the Promotion Budget. The expenses of all the meet- ings of ihe Board of Directors of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma and its appointed committees, ong with all other general committee meetings, is cared for by the Promotion Budget. The expense of the Stewardship and Promotional meetings and conferences also comes from this budget. As an example, we cite the July, 1956, Stewardship clinics held in 39 associations. Eighty' Oklahoma Baptist past.ors assembled in Oklahoma City July 5-6 for a leadership training course in preparation for the July Stewardship Clinics. Each man then spent at least one week speaking and leading conferences in the Stewardship Clinics in different associations each night. The expenses of these men in regard to the leadership training course and the associational clinics were cared for out of the Promotion budget. Annually in December all of the missionaries and moderators are invited to Oklahoma City for a two day promotional meeting and expenses are included in the Promotion budget. The largest item cares for the vast amount of literature and mission publicity purchased for the convention through the Promotion

80 80 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST department and distributed free of charge to the churches. You will note that the expenses of the annual State Convention and the cost of printing the convention minutes are charged to the Promotion department. OBU Operating Budget Oklahoma Baptist University has operated in the black for several years; however the increasing number of ministerial students is constantly decreasing the amount remaining for other operations. We are proud of the 300 ministerial and mission volunteers who receive beneficiary tuition from this phase of the Cooperative Program. We hope to see a continual increase in their number and in our university's service to them. Oklahoma Baptist University has a rich Christian heritage and character which will be forever growing. We must maintain a strong faculty and constantly increase its strength. The effective Christian service rendered by all departments of the university will depend to a large extent upon the Christian character, scholastic ability, and academic training of our teachers. We must continue to increase salaries to meet the demands of the hour. For these reasons, we are recommending an increase of $25,000 in the operating budget of Oklahoma Baptist University for We do this with the hope that endowment proceeds for the university through the Baptist Foundation will provide another $25,000 for this purpose. Brotherhood and Evangelism The Royal Ambassador secretary will become an associate in the Brotherhood Department beginning Jan. I, 1957, if the recommendations of the Royal Ambassador committee are adopted. This transfer will necessitate extra expense for the Brotherhood Department.. The increased amounts recommended in other departments, agencies, and institutions are due to the normal growth of our work and are necessary to continue the same fine services which have been given in the past. SPECIAL OFFERINGS We continue to emphasize the Cooperative Program as the main channel through which Oklahoma and Southern Baptist mission work is financed. It is gratifying to observe how churches are increasing their gifts to world missions through the Cooperative Program. The unified budget has become the established plan for most churches. We reaffirm our conviction that no special appeal should be allowed to interfere with the local church budget or the Cooperative Program. Many of our people, _ however, love to make over and above gifts t objets ear to their hearts and causes that are in great need.

81 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 81 For a number of years the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma has promoted two special offerings-one Day's Pay in the fall for our Children's Home, and Dedicated Dollars Day in the spring for other institutions. We urge all our churches and our people to participate in these special offerings. We continue to encourage Woman's Missionary. U nian in the three mission offerings. We caution the churches regarding numerous appeals from sources outside our regular convention program. We recognize that Baptist churches and people may designate funds to any cause. However, we believe that the Kingdom of God will be advanced more quickly by staying with the regular program which is promoted through the state and Southern Baptist Conventions, since these conventions and their various committees and boards give adequate study and supervision in every needy field. Individuals who bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, and churches that give an equitable percentage or amount to missions through the Cooperative Program should never be embarrassed even though they may not be in position to give as large amounts as they would like to give to over-and-above causes. So long as Southern Baptists give less than $.80 per week per capita for all causes, and less than $.13 per week per capita for all mission work, we should continue to encourage larger giving. Because of the various locations and sizes of our churches, and the individual desires of Christian people, we would not expect all churches and all individuals to always follow the same plan of giving. We should continue to have a varied program, with the understanding that pastors and churches will use their own judgment in presenting the special appeals. Many of our people will contribute through the Baptist Foundation to our institutions and agencies, by including them in wills, trusts, gifts, etc. If they are properly informed and encouraged, such contributions will help rather than hinder local budgets and the Cooperative Program. ' The Foundation is to be commended on progress made in procuring funds for capital needs and endowment. In the last 10 years total endowment for Baptist causes increased from $75, to $1,459, Only $278, has come from the Cooperative Program. We pledge to the Foundation our continued support toward reaching the objective of $10 million for endowment by TEN-YEAR PROGRAM OF ADVANCE Oklahoma Baptists are launching a 10-year program of advance with the hope they can and will accomplish as much in the next 10 years as we have in the last 50. If this is done, we must double the record of achievement in all phases of our work. Each institution, agency, and department has established challenging objectives which we hope to reach in the next 10 years. Some of the objectives are as follows:

82 82. ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 260,000 baptisms. 850 new Brotherhood organizations, bringing totai number to 1,650 2,000 Woman's Missionary Societies with 48,000 members 5,500 Youth organizations with 37,500. members 466,000 enrolled in Sunday school 240,000 enrolled in Training Union 15,000 music training awards 10 new student center buildings 600 new churches and misssions 400 receiving child care in Children's Home, Boys Ranch Town and foster homes 2,000 students attending OBU 43,000 attending Falls Creek Assembly each year 1,000 hospital beds 50 full-time Indian churches $10,000,000 endowment for Baptist work $4,000,000 Cooperative Program budget annually 2 or more Golden Age Homes serving many elderly people The Baptist Messenger in every Baptist home. The Public Relations Department serving every institution, agency, department, and church. We suggest that every church launch a 10-year program of advance setting annual goals that will challenge every member. WORLD MISSIONS YEAR We are now in the beginning days of World Missions Year. The year was launched with World Missions Week Oct. 28-Nov. 4. It will continue through Special emphasis will be given world missions in every state meeting this year. We invite pastors and churches, as well as associations, to use every means at their disposal to emphasize world missions-local, associational,,state, Southern Baptist Convention, and foreign missions. All are important and all are included in our worldwide mission program. RECOMMENDATIONS I. Constitution 1. That the phrase "by ballot" be stricken from Article IV, Section 2 of the Constitution.

85 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 85 Public Relations Public Relations is concerned with better understanding and utilizing the mass communications media to gain greater public acceptance of our denomination and its program. The Office of Public Relations serves in two capacities-as the public relations department for the convention and in assisting and encouraging churches in employing recognized public relations tech- niques in their work. Working closely with the press, radio and TV to supply news of Baptist events, the office also prepares promtional materials for most of the conventions departments, and serves as photographic department for the convention. Every day Oklahoma newspapers print enough news released by the public relations office to fill a full newspaper page. About 100 pieces of promotional literature are prepared each year,. including folders, brochures, leaflets and posters. Most of the departments and agencies utilize the office to obtain professional assistance without adding to their own budgets. During the year, a second motion picture was produced, "Commission To Go," which will be shown on Wednesday night of this convention. The film is designed to present the 10-year goals, opening the next decade of progress. The first film, "The Baptist Story" produced during 1955, has been used in many associational meetings since its premiere in January, However, use in individual churches has. been somewhat disappointing, it having been shown in only 77 churches, up to October 1, Members of the Public Relations staff wrote the script, did the photography, recorded the sound, directed, edited, and produced both of these films. The popular half-hour TV program, "Questions and Quotations,''' continued during the year over KVOO-TV, Tulsa (Channel 2) with increased interest. In addition to questions asked the contestants panel,. an audience question on a Bible subject is asked On each program. The response has been so great that three to four telephone operators are needed to take the calls immediately after the audience question is. given. Rev. Robert E. Hopkins continues as the "quizpastor" or moderator and Rev. Joe Ingram coducts the Sunday school lesson preview. The station donates the time for this program. Scripts are prepared and the program supervised by the public relations office. Public relations on the local church level has been a major concern and has received considerable attention during the year. All facilities of the office are available for conducting public relations or press relations workshops in the associations. Several such workshops. have been held, and associations are invited to make full use of these facilities.

86 86 ANNUAL OF TIIE BAPTIST For the last three years, the public relations director has conducted publicity classes at Falls Creek. These are growing in interest and attendance. The first stalewide public relations conference was held in Oklahoma City on February 3. Despite a blinding snowstorm, about 200 people attended. Featured were top-notch speakers in the fields of radio- TV, press, printed materials, and over-all public relations. The conference was tape-recorded and proceedings mimeographed for general distribution. During the summer of 1956 your Public Relations director, as president of the Baptist Public Relations association, participated in church public relations conference at Glorieta and Ridgecrest. He served as a member of a special study committee which recommended development of a comprehensive local church public relations program, and is assisting in exploratory plans for such a comprehensive program. It is recommended that (1) all churches and associations select a publicity chairman; as one of the regularly elected officers; (2) au churches and associations promote attendance at the statewide public relations conference in Oklahoma City on Feb. 1, and (3) all associa.. tions give consideration to the holding of either a public relations or church publicity workshop during Arthur S. Davenport, Director 42. Miss Margaret Hutchison, WMU State Secretary, introduced Mrs. C. A. Summers, who has been State WMU President for the past four years. Mrs. Summers introduced Mrs. Earl Stark, the newly elected President of the State WMU. Miss Hutchison presented the work of the Union and emphasized the major Objectives for the future. Woman's Missionary Union From Oct. I, 1955 through June 30, 1956, a Nine Month's Report Anniversary The year has been filled with celebrations honoring Woman's M-issionary Union in its 50th year of orga,nization, with a study of our history, with determination to reach high goals set for our Jubilee. It has been a year of affairs where birthday offerings. to WMU were given, where leg-o-mutton sleeves, plumes, high top button shoes and sweeping skirts were in evidence as pioneers were honored and early days of missionary.societies were recalled. This has been our Golden Jubilee! With this annual session the Jubilee comes to a close and" records will have been compiled to reveal achievement and advancement in mission study, mission praying, mission giving and mision serving. The trumpet, our Jubilee symbol, will now sound its.final note in loud crescendo. This report that follows cannot give the fuifiilment of ail goals because only nine months' reports have been tabulated, October 1955 through Jun 30, 1956.

87 GENERAL. CONYENTION {)F OKLAHOMA 81 Administration The state officers and chairmen along with.the associational and local officers and chairmen and members bve served unstintingly to make this a great year of service to missions. Since the emphasis for the Jubilee was to be on the WMU Fundamentals and Youth Work, those state chairmen have served almost as full-time workers, traveling many miles, speaking and leading conferences, writing letters. and conference helps, and promoting their phases of the work with special stress. Mrs. C. A. Summers, president, has led forth with encouragement to all. The office workers have served cheerfully under heavy loads of additional work. The executive secretary and the assistant, Miss Murphy, have added to their duties those of the youth secretary, because Miss Abbie Louise Green left in January to serve in a similar position in her native state, Tennessee. The state Youth Chairmen, Mrs. Louis Hendricks, Mrs. B. T. Sherbenou, and Mrs. Hale Dixon, have assumed much responsibility since Miss. Green's departure. With the close of this annual session Miss Murphy leaves to become the executive secretary of the WMU of the Colorade> Convention. Woman's Missionary Union is grateful for the $34, apportioned from the Cooperative Program of the Baptist General Con vention. It has been the joy of the women and young people to cooperate with the convention in all its promotional plans, in all its special meetings and offerings, and with its institutions and agencies.. Activities Being the Golden Jubilee of Woman's Missionary Union, the year Was spent in looking back at beginnings of our work, exercising. every energy to make goals set up for our 50th year. There were parties and teas honoring early WMU workers, Jubilee offerings given ($16, by Oct. 15) for furnishings for the WMU camp, additional meetings and special work on training counselors through. two-day Leadership Courses and a state leadership time at Nunny Cha-ha for certain' associationai officers and chairmen. They came 267 in number for two days of training. It has been a happy, busy year of accelerated activities in WMU, in le.adership training, mission study. Many societies taught four books instead of the customary two. Twelve state youth meetings. such as camps, hollseparties, the congress and YWA workshop enrolled 3,187; and 4,326 were enrolled: in 41 mission classes- at the two assemblies. State WMU meetings, numbering six, registered 2,649 women, while at the 14 district conferences 3,829 registered. Thirty-eight missionary speakers were se- cured to serve in 38 associational and regional camps and assemblies; an.d n 38 associational rallies, reaching 7,592.. Accomplishments Challenging goals in youth work and the four fundamentals of WMU and' enlistment were set for the 50th Anniversary, as' well,

88 88 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST,:; some financial goals. At this nine months' reporting. final figures could not be had, but we rejoice over the good gains made. Here are some goals already achieved: Goal 1955 Lottie Moon Offering $160, Annie Armstrong Offering $ 50, Number Youth Organizations 2,437 Number Members in Youth Organizations 23,547 Number Missionary Societies,. 1,QI0 Achievement $200, $ 58, ,549 24,503 1,015 The three longer range goals set for the Jubilee in 1953 were all achieved, namely: A full-time Royal Ambassador secretary by Jan. 1, Bob Banks is that one. A history of WMU written and published by June 1, Mrs. Argye Briggs' book, "A Question Once Asked," was published and 1,840 copies have been sold. The WMU Camp at Falls Creek will be ready for use June Nunny-Cha-ha, the WMU Camp was sufficiently complete for seven weeks of youth camps to be held there in the summer with 1,393 registered. Sixteen cabins and the dining-kitchen building were built but other buildings yet are needed to complete the camp. We rejoice over these victories. Aims for Advancement Woman's Missionary Union, SBC, adopted Aims for Advancement to replace the old Standards of Excellence for each grade of organization. OUf women have accepted them, finding these aims to have a new motivation because of the spiritual uplift in them. They have flexibility and choice and gradation in advancement. A society accomplishing certain basic objectives will be recognized as Approved; one attaining certain basic and some elective objectives will be Advanced while a society attaining certain basic and still more electives will be recognized as Honor. This gradation and choice will greatly encourage our women and youth. Aspirations Pioneers in WMU have inspired us with their faith and VISIOn. and leaders through the years have built well on the foundations laid. Ail of these truly did "Enlarge... Spare Not... Lengthen... Strengthen" the work. Now as we enter our second 50 years of mission promotion. 'Ye say, "Lead on, 0 King Eternal" as we attempt that which the convention has challenged us with... to strive to do as much i[] the next 10 years as was accomplished in missionary education and promotion in the past 50 years. That calls for a renewed dedication on the part of every member and youth leader in our

Respectfully submitted, Margaret Hutchison Executive SecretaryTreasurer 43. Reverend E. A. Harris, Oklahoma City, brought the Report on Foreign Missions and motion carried for its adoption. Foreign missionary to Korea, Dr. Johh Abernathy, spoke to the report. Foreign Missions A great man once said, "Doing the will of God leaves me no time for disputing about his plans." And God's plans are so clearly outlined in the teaching of his Word, it simply says to us, 00- TEACH-BAPTIZE. Our foreign mission leaders have been doing just that in an ever expanding circle of world-wide missions. One hundred and four missionaries were appointed in It -' is the objective of the Foreign Mission Board to appoint a minimum of 125 in 1956 and succeeding years. Dr. Baker James Cauthen, executive secretary of the board, said in his annual report of the Foreign Mission Board, "The world mission enterprise can be expanded just as rapidly as additional resources in personnel and finances are available." \ Southern Baptists had 1,020 foreign missionaries in active service in 35 countries and territories of the world at the close of Among them were 392 men, 402 married women, and.226 single women. Official reports from the overseas missions at the end of 1955 reveal that the 2,250 Baptist churches related to Southern Baptist work baptized 24,342 people last year, bringing the total membership of the churches to 236,494. These. churches were served by 1,541 national and 130 missionary pastors. A total of 4,677 nationals worked alongside Southern Baptist missionaries in Fourteen hundred and twenty-four of the churches are self-supporting; au of them together contributed the equivalent of $1,582, during the year. There was a total of 3,880 out stations at the end of the year, most of which will become churches. The 3,209 Sunday schools on mission fields showed an enrolment of 263,532; the 3,401 youth groups had 101,740 enrolled and the 2,861 missionary societies had an enrolment of 62,973. Among the 791 Baptist schools on foreign fields were 22 theological seminaries \yith 896 enrolled and eight training schools. with 684 enrolled. Thirteen Baptist hospitals, 10 dispensaries, and 30 clinics were served by 35 missionary physicians, 54 national physicians, 42 mis-

Finiey Jr., Lutber Cox and A. S. Day 44. Reverend Sam W. Scantlan, secretary, presented the Report on Rural and City Missions. Motion car:ied to adopt, the report. Rural and City Missions "What does a busy man gain from all bis toil? I bave watcbed tbe interests lbat God sets lbe sons of men to labor at." (Bee!. 3:9-10 (Moffatt).. The giying of an account of the labors in this department is difficult to do accurately because, like all other work, it cannot be written out in full. However, we beg you to peruse the following to see some of the work we have done.. Actually the Rural and City Missions Department is involved in everything Baptists of Oklahoma do. It makes no difference whether it is erecting buildings or preaching revivals. the superintendents of missions have an important work. Each association has already had a report from its missionary- so we merely present a few figures to show bow lbey look in aggregate form.

92 92 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Summer School for Preachers One of the finest things we do is to assist with the Summer School for Preachers. Last summer (1956) there were 123 enrolled, a record for the school. Dr. W. E. Grindstaff, Dr. Franklin Segler, Miss Nicy Murphy and Rev. James A. Ivey assisted Dr. James S. Timberlake with the school. Dr. Raley has always given this school special empha 'Sis. Slndenl Summer Mission Program 'TWelve fine students from nine states helped us in OUf mission fields last summer. The Home Mission Board paid their salaries and transportation and the associations where they worked furnished their board and room.

Architecture The Department of Church Architecture of the Sunday School Board has asked our department to assist churches with their building problems and we have made several trips during the year to help with this most important work. We have also sent many plans to prospec- tive builders. It is our purpose to assist the churches in planning adequate buildings. Summary The superintendents of missions have assisted in everything that the associations have promoted, such as assmbiies, revival efforts, study courses, etc. The following are some at the visible reults gleaned from the month Iy reports of the superintendents of missions from Sept. 1, 1955, to Aug. 31, 1956: Revivals held 259 Professions of faith 2,071 Additions tor baptism 1,725 Additions by letter and statement 986 Church and mission visits 6,516 Sermons preached 6,271 Subscriptions and tracts given 133,857 Study courses held 198 Church fields surveyed 106 Inactive churches revived 4 New churches constituted ---_ 20 New missions started 34 Church houses built 53 Church houses improved 230 Sam W.

94 94 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 45 Dr. H. W. Westmoreland, secretary of Religious Education, presented the report and recognized the personnel in the department. Motion carried to adopt the report. Religious Education The Past During the last 10-year period, the churches have shown a regular and consistent growth in Sunday school, Training Union and Vacation Bible School work. Our IO-year net gains are as follows: "126,934 in Sunday school; 73,835 in Training Union and 60,554 in Vacation Bible School enrolment.. The study course program in both Sunday school and Training Union has greatly increased in recent years. The growth in Sunday School Standard Units has been remarkable. Last year we had 1527 Standard Sunday school units. The Present At the close of 1955, the Sunday school enrolment in Oklahoma was 305,909. The Sunday school enrolment is larger than our resident church membership.. I think it should be noted, however, that we had a loss in Sunday school in our open country churches of 2.9 per cent and a loss in town churches of 1.5 per cent. The village churches gained 5 per cent in enrolment and the city churches 5.2 per cent.. Baptist churches in Oklahoma have 119,343 enrolled in Training Union. Here again we had a 'loss of?.3 per cent in our open country churches, but a gain of 2.5 in village churche.; 5.4 per cent gain in town churches and 8.6 per cent in city churches. There were 1018 Vacation Bible Schools held in Oklahoma Baptist churches or sponsored by Baptist churches last year, with a total enrolment of 113,508. The Anglo mission schocjs were 65 in number; 1 Spanish school, 44 Indian schools, and 17 Negro schools. The activities of the DepartmeQ-t of Religious Education are too numerous to mention in this report. It should be noted however, that we sponsored two statewide conventions; Training Union "M" Night in the associations; two stte training-planning meetings for associational officers; enlisted 106 teachers for.falls Creek Baptist Assembly, and promoted Sunday school and Training Union weeks at Ridgecrest and Glorieta. The promotion of Standards, leadership training in Sunday school, and leadership and study course training in Training Union are major emphases in our work. More than a quarter million pieces of promotional literature are mailed out from our office to the churches an- nually. We major in the promotion of central and group training schools in the associations. More than 90,000 requests for awards come

95 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 95 1hrough our office each year. Because Standards are guides to good work in Sunday school and Training Union, we promote them constantly. The Future We are deeply grateful for every past victory and thankful for.every present opportunity, but we are now thinking about the future. Oklahoma Baptists have planned a 10-Year Program of Advance. The workers in the Department of Religious Education are grateful for the opportunity of participating in this forward looking program. We believe that Oklahoma Baptists can have an annual net gain of 16,000 in Sunday school during the next 10 years. This is 3,000 more than the number reached each year during the last decade, but since we have more buildings, better equipment and methods, more and better trained officers and teachers, this goal seems to be both obtainable.and challenging.. The Training U nian goa] is to reach as many more in 10 years.as we now have enrolled, which is 119,342. Reaching 12,000 annually for a decade is a challenging task, but a possible one. Recommendations 1. We sincerely urge every church to make a Sunday school and -a Training Union enrolment goal for each year. We have found that Sunday school and Training Union workers work more diligently when they are striving to reach challenging goals. 2_ We suggest a program of Sunday school and Training Union leadership training each year in every church, using the method books "" a hasis for this training_ Trained leadership is the greatest need of the educational program of our churches. More trained leadership :is the secret of success in reaching more people for Bible study and for training. E. W. Westmoreland, Secretary 46. Reverend Tom E. Carter, Director of Hospitals and Golden Age Homes, presented the report. The personnel of the department was presented, also all nurses in training from Enid and Muskogee.

Many have manifested interest in this home through wills and letters of interest. Its construction is becoming nearer a reality each. day.. The Hugo Golden Age Home is becoming a reality as a result of the gift of 68 acres of land located on Terry HiIl, at the edge of Hugo, by the Will and Lee Baskett families, and the decision on the part of citizens of Hugo to raise $65,000 for the construction of the first unit. Our Convention agreed to furnish $35,000 at the board meeting on Sept. 7. The people of Hugo have already secured more than half. of their pledges.

98 98 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 47. Reverend J. A. Pennington, secretary of Brotherhood and Evangelism, presented the report. Motion carried to adopt the report. Brotherhood The Layman's Missionary Movement of the Southern Baptist Convention had its beginning in It was in 1926 that the name.was changed to the Baptist Brotherhood. Next year we will celebrate. the fiftieth birthday of the beginning of this great movement. The,purpose of the Brotherhood in the local church as promoted by the Brotherhood Commission is to enlist and utilize all the men of the churc;h in all the work of the church and denomination. The first National Conference of Southern Baptist Men will be held here in Oklahoma City, Sept , All sessions will be held in the Municipal Auditorium. An attendance of 8,000 to 10,000 men is expected. We would urge our pastors and churches to keep this date clear on their church calendars. The Brotherhood Department in Oklahoma was set up April 1, That year the records revealed 220 churches with Brotherhoods, reporting an enrolment of 7,736. This number has grown to 840 churches with Brotherhoods as of Oct 15, The enrolment at the close of 1955 was 17,936. All our associations, except two of the Indian associations, are organized for Brotherhood work. The plans for the future are set out in 10-year goals as a challenge for continued growth. In order that these goals may be more practical, they are broken down into three, three-year periods and one, one-year period. The first period presents a goal of 270 new Brotherhoods, or 90 annually. The second period goal decreases slightly, calling for 255 new Brotherhoods, or 85 each year. The last period goals are for 240 new Brotherhoods, with a yearly average of 80. To complete the 10-year goal of 1,600 total Brotherhoods by we have a goal of 85 new Brotherhoods for that year. Our goals call for an enrolment of 50,000 men by The Royal Ambassador committee of the convention is recommending the complete transfer of the work to the Brotherhood Department as of Jan. I, If this is acted upon favorably by the convention, we shall do our best to continue the promotion of this work on the same high standard as has been done by Woman's Missionary Union. It is with faith and confidence that we accept this wonderful opportunity. With wisdom and grace from the Lord, we shall give our boys the best we have in leadership.. We will welcome Mr. Bob Banks as an associate in this department in charge of the Royal Ambassador work. In order that our men of Oklahoma may more effectively serve the Lord through their churches and be better informed as to the work of our denomination, we would recommend:

99 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA,99 1. A Brotherhood organization in every chnrch, making regular monthly reports to the associationa)' Brotherhood president and the state Brotherhood' secretary. 2. That consideration be given to the fonr major BrotherhOod objectives in planning the program of work for the Brotherhood. These objectives are: Boys, Evangelism, Stewardship, Cooperative Program. 3. That each associationalbrotherhood be thoroughly organized according to the new plans which will include an associational leader for Royal Ambassadors.and a Royal Ambassador commlttee. We continue to urge the associational presidents to make quarterly reports to the associational executive board and to the state Brotherhood secretary; also that the dates and places of meetings for the quarterly associational Bro\herhood rallies be planned immediately and included in the calendar of activities for the association.. 4. That every possible effort be made to build a great attendance from each association for the First National Conference of Southern Baptist Men, meeting in Okluhoma 'City, Sept , 1957, in the Municipal Auditorium.. 5. We would also nrge the fullest co-operation on the part o our laymen, pastors and au members of our churches, in the prom tion of the state Royal Ambassador Congress, March 1 and 2, 1957, and that we again observe "Join-the-Brotherhood" Week, Oct , J. A. Pennington Secretary Evangelism I. A Look at the Past It is not wise to spend too much time in looking at the. past. However, we do it now in order that we may receive information and encouragement to press on to higher ground in the future., Oklahoma Baptists are evangelistic. In the first 50 years of ' work as the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma our churches baptized 600,043 people. This is an average of 12,000 per year. It was in 1921 that we passed the 10,000 mark in baptisms for the first time, That year we reported a total of 12,348. We labored for 29 years more before reaching the 20,000 mark. That was in 1950 when we reported 20,051 baptisms. That year we had our first statewide simultaneous evangelistic crusade. The Department of Evangelism in Oklahoma was established in For the eight years preceding the setting up of this department the report on baptisms revealed a total of 109,472, or an ave'rage of 13,684. For the succeeding eight years the report shows a total of 160,676 baptisms, or an average of 20,084 per year, an average increase of 6,400 per year. These figures reveal that we are making progress in evangelism. We need to continue this growth, in the years ahead.

100 100 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST ll. What of the Future? 1. Our 10-year goals. As we launch OUf next 10-year program we are presented with the challenge of winning to Christ a number equal to our present resident church membership, or 260,000 people. This goal is broken down into three, three-year periods and one, one-year period which is as follows:. The first period, : a total of 70,000 baptisms, or 23,335 annually.. For the second period, : the goal increases slightly, totaling 75,000, or 25,000 annually. In the last three.. year period, : we have another increase for a total of 82,500, or 27,500 annually. This 10-year period reaches its climax in 1966 with a goal of 32,500 baptisms. 2. The first three-year period. You will note that this three-year period coincides with the Southern Baptist Convention three-year period leading up to the launching of the five-year nationwide program of evangelism. OUf goals are to win and baptize a total of 70,000 people. This is an average of 23,335 annually, which is an annual increase of 1,620. m. How Can We Best Accomplish This Task? If we will carry through to completion the three-year objectives as adopted at OUf last Suthern Baptist Convention in Kansas City we can attain the goals set before us. These objectives are as follows: 1. The 1957 objective: Getting A Warm and Workable Program of Evangelism in Every Church. By that we mean the Southern Baptist Program of Evangelism. Thi is a tested, tried, and proven program. (1) Every association with a simultaneous evangelistic crusade every year. (2) Every association with a chairman of evangelism, elected annually. (3) Every church with a council of evangelism planning for: a. At least two revivals every year (one simultaneous). b. An annual religious survey. c. An up-to-date, accurate prospect file. d. The training. of personal soul-winners. e. A perennial visitation program of evangelism. f. A "New Members' Union" in every Training Union with the pastor teaching the book, "Your Life and Your Church." (4) Every pastor attending the statewide evangelistic conference each year. (The conference for 1957 will meet in Muskogee, Jan. 21, 22 and 23.) 2. The 1958 objective: Getting A Warm and Workable Program of Evangelism to Every Church Member.

101 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 101 SeekJng to enlist and train every church member as a personal soulwinder The 1959 objective: Getting the Message of Evangelism to Every Lost Soul. The Nationwide Evangelistic Crusade. In keeping with the southwide convention plans, we recommend: (1) That Oklahoma co-operate on the two dates, March and April (2) That we use the South Canadian River as the dividing line for northern and southern zones. (3) Zone dates as follows: a. Southern zone co-operating March b. Northern zone co-operating April c. That Oklahoma County be asked to co-operate on the southern zone date so that our state will be more equally divided. Dr. T. P. Haskins has had another good year as our state evangelist. His sixth annual report reveals -19 revivals conducted with 205. received for baptism and 158 by leiter. In addition to these revivals he has assisted in two dedicatory services, one ordination service, pulpit supply in six churches and conducted 12 other special services. We continue to thank God for the consecrated, warm-hearted service of this man of God. Summary of Evangelism for Churches Ass'n Chairman Baptisms Reptg.No Of Evangelism Association Baptms.

Report of Baptist Memorial Hospital Committee This committee was appointed by the president of the convention in keeping with instructions of the Board of Trustees. It Was to be the duty of the committee to lay plans for a special offering to be suggested to the churches to be taken on Dedicated Dollars Day for Baptist Memorial Hospital of Oklahoma City. A representative committee from the vicinity of.oklahoma City was selected. In its first meeting it was requested that this committee be enlarged to include representatives from every association in the state. This was done. The enlarged committee meeting in the YWCA On Nov. 13, 1956, adopted the following recommendations: 1. That every church in the state be asked to consider as its Baptist Memorial Hospital offering goal an amount equivalent to at least $1.00 per resident member. (a) That the names of churcbes reaching the minimum goal of $1.00 per resident member be inscribed on a plaque to be installed in a suilable place in the hospital., (b) That on the plaque a star be placed opposite the name of each church giving an average of $2.00 per resident member; two stars opposite the name of each church giving an average of $3.00 per resident member, etc. 2. That in addition to church recognition for Dedicated Dollars Day offerings an appropriate plaque be insladed in the hospital on which shall be listed the names of individuals and firms who give $ or more. When an individual gives through a local church both the church and individual will receive recognition if the donor desires. 3. The following general publicity aids wid be made available to the associations and churches: (a) A short color film describing the need and the program.

(d) A brochure will be made available in quantity for the members of the churches. (e) Envelopes will be provided showing the purposes of the offering. (f) Posters and eye-level streamers will be provided with a place for the church to show the date it intends to take this offering. Special Committee on Baptist Memorial Hospital Oklahoma City Hospital Architects are making progress on plans for the Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City and it is expected that they will be ready to advertise for bids within a few days. However, it is certain that there will not be sufficient funds to complete the first 200-bed unit without raising more money. The hospital must be completed. At the Sept. 7 meeting the board of directors directed that the 1957 Dedicated Dollars Day offering, which is one of two special offerings authorized by our Convention, be given entirely to the Oklahoma City hospital. A special committee was named by the president to plan the details. After careful study, your committee recommends: 1. That every church in the state be asked to consider as its Dedicated Dollars Day offering goal an amount equivalent to at least $1.00 per resident member. (a) That the names of churches reaching the minimum goal of $1.00 per resident member be inscribed on a plaque to be installed in a suitable place in the hospital. (b) That on the plaque a star be placed opposite the name of each church giving 3n average of $2.00 per resident member; two stars oppo- site the Dame of each church giving an average of $3.00 per resident member; etc. 2. That in addition to church recognition for Dedicated Dollars Day offerings, an appropriate plaque be -installed in the hospital on which shall be listed the names of individuals and firms who give $ or more. When an indiyidual gives through a local church both the church and individual will receive recognition if the donor desires.

107 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 107 Baptist Student Union "Off-to-College Day" is a very important time in a young person's life. In many cases it is leaving home, making readjustments, and making new friends. Southern Baptists and Oklahoma Baptists are interested in assisting these, the finest of young people, to keep Christ uppermost in all of their activities. We have 24 Baptist Student Unions in Oklahoma, three more than last year, that are ministering to our 10,000 Baptist and Baptist ereference students. They are located on the following campuses: SCHOOL DffiECTOR University of Oklahoma Arthur Driscoll University of Tulsa qert Edmison Oklahoma A&M Iim Martin East Central \1rs.

Another important day in the college student's life is "Join the Church Day". The main purpose for the existence of the Baptist Student Union is to magnify the local Baptist church or churches. The church leadership of tomorrow is in OUr colleges today. The Baptist Student Union is missionary in spirit. OUf Baptist students raised $ to send Allen Morain to Alaska; Nina Ferguson to California; Elmer Carpenter to California; and Willard "Tuffy" Goforth to Hawaii. It also paid the expenses of Miss Imelda Sim of _._-.-._

108 108 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST the Philippines to attend the Asia Youth Conference which met in Hong Kong. This offering is over and above regular tithes and mission offerings. Since 197 is mission emphasis year, the summer mission offering goal is $4900. We are most grateful to every association that has begun to educate our people on what BSU is trying to accomplish; also for the financial supplement to the local student program budget. The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma is helping us greatly in solidifying our financial problems. We would recommend that all churches observe "Off-to-College Day" and Student Night at Christmas. Churches located in college towns should observe "Join the Church Day." Gene Bartlett, Secretary 68. Forrest Warren, Enid, brought the report on Christian Life Commission. Reverend John R. Meadows, Perry, spoke to the report. Motion carried to adopt te report. Dr. Stanley Niles and Dr. Robert S. Scales spoke to the report of the Christian Life Commission and the United Dry work of Okla homa. Christian Life 'Commission Christian people face a questioning world today that wants to know frankly and honestly, "wb,at does Christianity mean?" On every hand actions have spoken louder than words and a misguided mass of humanity seeks the whole truth. Baptists have within their grasp the key to the power that will unlock the door and dispel the darkness by getting back to fundamentals of Christian living through the Crusade for Christian Morality. We must reach lost people for Christ, but we mllst also show them the way of life as laid down in the pattern drawn by Christ. These subjects demand our earnest thought, prayer and action. Christian Morality Spiritual rebirth is the first step toward a life that is pleasing to God, morally sound, aqd beneficial to other people. Honesty in personal dealings, clean living, the practice of civic righteousness and abstinence from alcoholic beverages are other aspects that fit into the picture. Accepted moral standards of our day differ widely from God's divine commandments. There must be a return to personal chastity, purity in thought and word, loyalty to' marriage vows, and a higher level of exampleship in the community if we are to succeed as Chris tian people'in convincing a distraught world that Christians represent something the world lacks. Upright living without compromise at any single point is the strongest witness that can be borne today. It must start in the home

109 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 109 and reach up through every avenue of life. It must not be clouded by deceptions aod misrepresentations.- We are on trial today as Christian people to see whether we shall live in such a way as to put convenience above justice, comfort above right, preference above law, and pride above duty.. With courage and conviction Christian people must face every issue squarely in the light of the teachings of the New Testament, thus bearing withness to the fundamentals laid down by Christ for human living as his disciples. Dealing With the Races We are aware of the acute problem of race relations. Prior to 1914 large minorities were almost exclusively confined to definite sections of the country-the Orientals along the west coast, the Ne: groes in the south, and various national groups in small districts in the north and east. Changes in the social and political economy of our nation have caused the migration of minority races into all etions of the United States... A clamor for civil rights is long and loud, and racial tension has increased tremendously. The problems are deep-rooted and obviously will not be solved in the immediate future. We--believe that Southern Baptists are making great strides in the right direction in easing the tension and bringing about a Christian relationship between the races. Among the Negroes, the Home Mission Board, with Dr. Guy Bellamy as secretary of Negro work, has accomplished much. Negr9 centers, institutes for pastors and church leaders, scholarships fot ministerial arid missionary students, BSU work in Negro COlleges and universities, participation in summer student mission programs, and many other activities are being sponsored. Relations also have bee improved through Negro churches participating in simultaneous re: viva! camp,aigns. The Home Mission Board also has a field worker among the Jews, and the Department of Direct Missions, directed by Dr. Loyd Corder, does work among thousands of people belonging to 37 nationalities which make up the "Language groups" in the United States. Woman's Missionary Union is to be congratulated on program materials dealing dir.ectly with the Christian viewpoint on the race question. "Much is being done by the Christian Life Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention to inform Southern B aptis.ts. "about race relation problems, and pointing out possible courses of -actin. This problem is so great that we must have. <;001.beads and warm hearts; and we must re ognize (;mr moral, 'rsponsjbi1itis.i. bringing forth a sensible solution based upon the spirit. of Jesus Cbrist....

110 110 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Facing Youth Problems Baptist churches are doing an outstanding work in meeting youth problems, which are many and varied. These aids range from the cradle through the intermediate department, but much is lacking in the age range, although some progress has been made. Much more needs to be done.. As Baptists we need constantly to remind ourselves of the problems facing youth in OUf complex society. Foremost among these problems are home conditions. We have not done enough for the youth of our communities and nation until we have given them Christian homes. Juvenile delinquency will be reduced greatly when the parents become active in Christian service. Juvenile delinquency is being aggravated by the increase in broken homes. OUf young people, 17 through 24, are going through a disturbing period of change, not only in their own lives but in the world in which they live. It is imperative that Baptists continue to place strong emphasis upon the Christian home, striving through every agency we possess to evangelize the communities surrounding our chutches; enlisting and training adults to take their full responsibility in the local cburch; teaching our youth to maintain high moral standards and to marry Christian partners,- and to encourage them to unite with a Baptist church in the new communities where they shall go. No Compromise on Alcohol Christianity is not a compromising religion. Were we to com" promise on the alcohol issue, we would step without our rights as a Christ-founded organism, with a mission and message to the world. Whenever we compromise we lose. The devil and all forms of evil will not be chaperoned. The beverage crowd is out to make every person it can a drinker. We must go all out to turn every person we can away from it. All the talk about legislation, boards and committees to contol the sale, place and use of alcohol is sheer deceit and foolishness. Any compromise would only give alcohol another cloak of approval, and an endorsement to the public. Manufacture. sale and use of alcohol now oprate behind a respectable business front, protected by the laws enacted by the America.n people. Its freedom to advertise has created a multitude of new drinkers and led a host of non-drinkers to feel that it is a respectable business. On Feb. IS, 16, 1956, the Christian Life Commission of the Southern Baptist convention, submitted a statement on this vital issue to the house and senate committees in a public hearing at Washington; D. C. The summary of this statement was as follows:.' 1. ''Tbehighly specialized technique of modern advertising has,timulted: te demand for the use of beyerage alcobol beyond what we beheve wonld have been its normal development. The widespread

111 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 111 use of beverage alcohol has' Dot been for the best interest of the American home, American industry, the public health, the public safety, and for private and public morality. We conclude that tills extensive development in the use of beverage alcohol is not in the interest of public welfare. 2. "On the basis of the nature and the effects of alcohol as used in alcohol beverages. and in keeping with the spirit and meaning of the definition of the term 'false advertising' as set forth in Federal Trade Commission Act, we believe tbat an analogous situation exists in the interstate advertising of alcoholic beverages. We conclude that such advertising should be forbidden by act of Congress." We are convinced (1) that to compromise in any way, so as to leave in the minds of the people that beverage alcohol is respectable would be a crime; (2) that our churches should accept the plan God set forth to reclaim Ephriam (Isaiah 28:8-!3)-by constantly teaching the young through precept upon precept, line upon line, here a little there a little; (3) that no Baptist be left to feel that he is in full fellowship with his brethren or has the approval of his denomination were he to compromise Qr approve beverage alcohol in any measure; and (4) that were the churches of Oklahoma to awake to their God and the power we have access to, we could rout the deadly and destructive demon-alcohol. We, your committee, make the following recommendations: 1. That our convention back wholeheartedly the program to instill within the minds and hearts of Christian people their responsi-. bility to stand up and be counted in the matter of living according to Christian principles. 2. That we co-operate fully in whatever steps may be needed to bring about a Christian solution of the pressing race relation problems. 3. That we endeavor to provide adequately for all the youth for whom the church is responsible through agencies of the denomination to which this responsibility has been assigned. 4. That the.state convention co operate with the United Dry Association of Oklahoma and the program of education and legislation concerning alcoholic beverages; urging every member of voting age to cast a vote in favor of local option on 3.2 beer, and to seek to dry up every county when local option shall have become a law. 5. That the convntion go on record opposing the encroachment upon states rights by the federal government through the sale of federal liquor stamps to Oklahoma bootleggers. 6. That the following be elected to represent the convention at the Uted Dry Rally in January, 1957: H. C. Ivester, Sayee, Okla.. R. J. Brown, Hugo, Okla. George Hierschc, Oklahoma City, Ok1a.

Dr. Owen Henley presented the report of the Relief and Annuity Board, Dallas, Texas. Reverend J. C. Segler made a motion that the report of the Relief and Annuity Board be adopted. Motion carried to adopt the report. Relief and Annuity Board Over two and a half million dollars were paid out in benefits by the Relief and Annuity Board during the past year, bringing total benefits paid during its 38-year ministry to over 23 million dollars. This includes not only.relief benefits but also retirement annuities paid those

113 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 113 who have participated in retirement plans with boards, churches, and state conventions. More than 5,000 are receiving monthly checks as annuities or as relief grants. The 46 million dollars in assets now held by the board are invested for the approximately 16,000 certificate holders against the time when they or their beneficiaries call for these funds. That is why it is necessary to continue to build up a substantial reserve. To aid in promotion of the plans and in meeting future needs, the staff of the Relief and Annuity Board was re-enforced this past year with the addition of Floyd B. Chaffin, formerly executive secretary of the Louisiana Baptist Convention, as associate secretary-director of Public Relations, and L.

Other relief and annuity admini!)trative officers are: R. Alton Reed, executive scretary; Fred W. Noe, treasurer; R. S. Jones, associate secretary-director of investments; Owen Henley, assistant director of investments, and Mrs. Mable McCartney, registrar. Family Benefit Endorsement In seeking to enlarge the scope of its ministry, the board is now promoting a new death benefit program to supplement the member's insurance program. The new plan is term protection, increasing in cost every five years. Many pastors and educational directors need additional protection for the crucial period when the family is young, or when the mortgage is being paid-in other words, during the time the family would stand to lose the most at the member's death. The Family Benefit Endorse I;t1ent is the answer to that need, and can be taken for as long as the pastor needs it. It is not meadt to be a substitute for his insurance program-but is additional protection offered at a low-cost. Anyone who is paying currently in one of the retirement plans may take out this additional protection. Its benefits are three: Death benefit, double indemnity, and disability premium waiver. No physical examination is required. Ministerial and other full-time Christian service volunteers who do not yet have a denominational position may have $2,000 of the endorsement, provided they agree to join the retirement plan when eligible to do so.

114 114 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 72. Reverend Richard T. Hopper presented the report of the Christian Education Commission. Motion carried to adopt the report. Christian Education Since the early days of statehood Oklahoma Baptists have been providing Chrisnan higher education for their young people. The Baptist cause has prospered and progressed as a result of this provision. Oklahoma Baptist University has made its contribution to Kingdom growth throughout the world and has justified its existence time and time again. To those who have served in places of leadership and on the faculty in the past and to those who serve today in bringing our University to the place of leadership it now holds we express our deepest gratitude. The third Annual Christian Education Convention was held in February of this year on the campus in Shawnee. The Christian Education Committee planned and promoted the convention. The convention featured the future needs of the University giving special attention to the needs for additional buildings. With the fine co-operation given by the heads of the deparnnents and institutions of the Baptist General Convention the meeting was successful, attracting some 1,300 persons in attendanc. The theme of the convention was "A Vision-Tomorrow's Panorama of OBU." The committee has sought to reach every Baptist young person in the state through the local churches. The churches have been asked to co-operate by following a suggested program outlined by this committee and in co-operation with the program of Southern Baptists as promoted by the Education Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Successful student recruitment can be conducted better on the local level by the pastors, parents and interested individuals than by any other group.. The committee urges the pastors to seriously attempt the enlistment of the young people of their churches in OBU. Future efforts of the committee are being directed toward the fourth Annual Christian Education Convention in Shawnee Feb. 22, 1957, arid in reaching the Baptist youth through the churches during April of next year. We are happy to report the enrolment at the University continues to increase which indicates the growing appreciation of our people in!be administration and faculty of the schoo!. Again. the committee urges the members of our churches to support the endowment program of the University. More funds must be available to increase faculty salaries, to add more faculty members, and to provide additional' facilities. Larger endowment funds are a necessity. For the most part -these must come from our own people; The committee will continue to give its support to the Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma that this matter will continue successfully and urges the loyal support of our churches and people. Respectfully Submitted, Richard T. Hopper, chairman, Dan Beltz, Chalon Meadows, J. P. Dane, Lewis, Hancock, Robert Jackson, James A. Hogg, Louis Hendricks, Fred Williams

These highly educated men and women are drawn from 10 graduate schools,as follows: University of Oklahoma, Dallas Museum of Fine Arts, University. of Havana, University of Southern California, University of Michigan, Kansas State Teachers College, Vanderbilt University, University of Shanghai, University of Wisconsin and George Peabody College for Teachers. Five additional Doctors of Philosophy are on the staff this term: Dr. Beryl Clot.felter, Assistant Professor of Physical Science, University of Idaho; Dr. Finley M. Chu, Assistant Professor of Economics, University of Wisconsin; Dr. Kit Farwell, Special Lecturer in Psychology, a member of the staff at Central State Hospital, Norman; Dr. Jorge Padron, Assistant Professor of Chemistry, University of Oklahoma School of Medicine; and Dr. John Medlin White, Assistant Professor of Biology, University of Texas. These and eight other scholars have come to add their strength to the building of a University that will bear the imprint of the Baptist while meeting the most exacting standards of the accrediting associations. We take note at this milestone of the retirement of three faculty members whose combined service aggregated 130 years in institutions of higher learning: Dr. Annie Juliet Earle (French), who gave 54 years to two Baptist institutions; Professor James Newton Owens (Modern Languages), 39 years; Professor Thomas Leonard Bailey (Chemistry), 37 years. The contributions of these great teachers can never be measured, but generations of Baptist young people blessed.their memory. At the present time there are 275 ministerial students enrolled at OBU. In the course of the regula and summer sessions, 325 ate regularly enrolled. The cumulative report of these young men is testimony of the tremendous potential of their ministry to the future of the denomination. This' is their 12 month record: '

Reverend Jack Carroll, EI Reno, read the scripture, Deut. 30: Dr. W. Leonard Stigler, Tulsa, led the convention in prayer. 8!. Reverend Ross Hughes presented the following resolution concerning the American Bible Society. Motion carried to adopt the resolution. American Bible Society A Chinese college student, during World War II when Bibles were scarce in his country, made this earnest request: "We students want to know Jesus. We must have ihis book." Another thoughtful Chinese student, talking with his missionary teacher, said: "Your English Bible speaks to my head, but my Chinese Bible speaks to my heart." The words of those Chinese students express two missionary principles which are true in all lands: People must have the Bible because it presents Jesus Christ, the one hope of men and nations.

119 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 119 Each person must have the Bible in his own language because it speaks to his heart as no other language can speak., The Bible is the missionary's chief tool. He uses it in every form of mission work. The Bible itself is a missionary. It can go where the human missionary cannot go. It can stay on after he must leaveand keep on speaking to a man's heart! The American Bible Society aids in Bible translation, publishes the Scriptures without note or,comment and distributes them without profit, usually below cost. For the blind it supplies Scriptures in raised letter systems and on Talking Book records. The Bible Society serves every form.of Southern Baptist mission work around the world. During 1955 the American Bible Society- -helped to publish Bibles in Russia by giving to Russian Baptist leaders mats made from our printing plates, which they are using to print 50,000 Russian Biples. -helped the Japan Bible Society publish the full Bible in Colloquial Japanese, the every day language easily understood by all the people. This opens the Book to many millions of new readers and is stimulating interest in Bible reading. -donated 1,397,100.Scripture volumes for distribution by Chaplains to our Armed Forces, providing a vital link between the home churches and the men in service. -distributed throughout the world almost 15 million volumes' of Scriptures. Southern Baptists Support the Work Because the Bible Society serves' mission work-and beause Southern Baptist missionaries depend on the Society for Scriptures. they need for distribution in their OWn work-southern Baptist, churches give to the American Bible Society. In 1955 Southern Baptist churches again broke their own record by giving $115,631 to their Bible Society, but again stood ir second place exceeded by Methodist gifts of $139,151. Gifts from all denominations totaled $804,998. The help of every Southern Baptist church is needed. Has your own church given this year? Here are suggestions. based on what many churches are doing: Every church Can give at least these amounts each year: Country and village churches $10 to $25 Churches in small cities $25 to $100 Larger churches $100 to $200 Great city churches $200 to $500 or more Please send gifts to 'your Baptist state office marked "for the American Bible Society." Whereas, this Convention recognizes thai widespread distribution of the printed Word of God is a basic necessity in the worldwide work to which we are committed, and

120 120 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Whereas, we recognize that the American Bible Society renders an essential worldwide missionary service through translating and publishing the Scriptures without Dote" or" comment and through distributing them without profit, and usually below cost, Whereas, we recognize that the American Bible Society is providing a vital spiritual link between tbe home churches and the men and women in service by supplying to the Chaplains without charge, New Testaments, complete Bibles and any other Scripture volumes needed for distribution to the. men and women in the Armed Forces, Therefore, be it resolved, First, that we earnestly request our churches and our people to make contributions to the work of the Society, all such contributions to be sent through the regular channels to the Baptist state office, marked "for the American Bible Society," and Second, that we approve an offering in the churches for the work of the American Bible Society, as in previous years, to be taken on the last Sunday in January (January 27, 1957) as provided by the Board of Directors in the Calendar of Activities for 1957 and to be promoted by our Convention as a part of our mission program. 82. Frank W. Langham, district secretary for the American Bible Society, Dallas, Texas, spoke concerning the work of the Society. 83. Reverend W. A: Evans presented the report of Home Missions. Motion carried to adopt the report. Home Missions The 1956 report of the Home Mission Board indicated that /1955 was a year of "unprecedented growth and achievement." Special emphasis was placed on evangelism. The convention-wide crusade, led by C. E. Matthews and other members of the Home Mission Board's evangelistic staff, in co-operation with all other agencies and state leadership, netted the greatest results in baptisms in the history of the convention. The Board's income for the year was $3.134, Church loans were made to 237 churches and surveys made with approval for loans to be consummated later. At the end of the year 604 loans in the sum of $5,826, were outstanding. Statistics for 1955 indicated at the close of the year 1,493 missionaries (including 388 summer student missionaries), a gain of 151 in personnel; 37,475 professions of faith; 105,426 sermons and addresses by missionaries; 4,423 dedications for special service; 725 new missions started; 410 new churches constituted; 430 Southern Baptist chaplains in service. There wre 15,249 conversions reported by chaplains, not listed in missionary statistics. Advancement in 1956 During 1956 changes in personnel included the selection of Leonard Sanderson as secretary of the Department of Evangelism;

121 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 121 Leland H. Waters as executive assistant; J. T. Gillespie to direct the Rural Church Program; M. Wendell Belew in City Missions, the downtown church. and the church-centered mission program, and William B. Mitchell succeeded Frank H. Halbeck in the department of Jewish Evangelism. Major emphasis in the "Four-Year Conquest for Christ" for 1956 is on church extension, with a goal of 2,666 new churches. Surveys reveal that there is specific need for 10,000 new churches DOW. New churches and new meeting houses in which to worship mean more workers, more converts, and more money for promotion of world missions. The board is girding its forces in preparation for the convention's emphasis in 1957 on World Missions Year. Respectfully submitted, W. A. Evans, Chairman, Cloyce Holland, J. H. Rodgers, Roy C. McClung and Chester Mason 84. Reverend Bailey Sewell presented the report on Indian work. Motion carried to adopt the report. Indian Missions The Oklflhoma Indian Missions Program continues to show signs of progress. During the past yea.r, another general missionary was added. Rev. Sam Morris was appointed to serve the North-Central area of Oklahoma. Other general missionaries and areas served are Rev. Roe Beard, Cherokees in Northeastern Oklahoma; Rev. A. W. Hancock, Choctaws in Southeastern Oklahoma; Dr. B. Frank Belvin, Creek and Seminoles in East-Central Oklahoma; Rev. Wilson W. Boggan, Chickasaws in South-Central Oklahoma; and Rev. Stephen Gover, Indians of Western Oklahoma. Also added, has been Mrs. Samaria Leader (Creek) who is serving as general WMU Field Worker for the Indian Churches of the State. We feel that this arrangement greatly strengthens our work. In addition to these, we have two couples working with the schools in the State. The Bruce Conrads at Chilocco Government Indian School, Newkirk, and the F. C. Rowlands work with the Senec-a Government Indian School at Wyandotte. He also pastors the Spring River Baptist Church at Quapaw. Also serving with the Home Mission Board, are 10 pastors. There are also four retired, part-time missionaries. Counting wives, this makes a total of 45 Home Mission Board personnel in the Direct Missions Department in the State. The program is further augmented by some 25 Indian Mission programs sponsored and financed by local white Baptist Associations and churches. The pastors and workers from these churches work with OUr Indian Missions program in promoting the Indian work on the statewide basis. ' The 10th Annual session of the Falls Creek Indian Baptist Assembly was said to be the best by many who have attended alj of the

122 122 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST sessions. There was a total registration of 509 with 73 decisions baving been made. Twentythree professions of faith and six. surrendering for special service. There were 44 rededications. The 1957 session will be held June The 6th Annual session of the statewide Indian Leadership Con ference drew a registration of about 160 from all six Indian Associations and workers from 10 white Associations. Baptisms increased over that of last year and prospects are good that the Co-operative Program receipts from the Indian churches will increase this year by about 25 per cent. We are also encouraged from the increasing number of Indian students attending Oklahoma Baptist University. The study of the Home Mission Books' on Indians last spring, created a very favorable general interest in Indian Missions work, which has encouraged all of us a great deal. We pray this interest may continue. BaIley Sewell, Superintendent Oklahoma Baptist Indian Missions 85. Dr. Leland H. Waters of the Home Mission Board spoke to the Convention on the work of the Board. 86. Dr. W E. Grinds;taff, assistant executive secretary of the Oklahoma Baptist Convention, spoke on Southern Baptist Executive Committee and World Missions 87. Reverend Joe Dee Ray, Durant, brought the report of the Committee on Memorials, and Reverend Dan Tyson led in prayer. Committee on Memorials, Joe Dee Ray, Chairman Dan Tyson Frank Allee Vincent Appleton Richard Peterson Leonard Sullivan 88. Motion carried to adopt the report of the Board of Directors. (Report is after No. 28). 89. Robert S. Scales brought the report of the work of Royal Ambassadors and motion carried for its adoption.. Royal Ambassadors For many years the Royal Ambassador- work was carried on under the sponsorship and promotion of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention, the State of Oklahoma and the local church. Following action of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1954, looking toward the transfer of the sponsorship and promotion from the Woman's Missionary Union to the Brotherhood, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma meeting in Oklahoma City in 1954 authorized the appointment of a Royal Ambassador

123 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 123 Committee to give counsel and direction in the Royal Ambassador work during a period of transition in which the Royal Ambassador work was to be under the joint sponsorship of the Woman's Missionary Union and Brotherhood Departments of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. Having functioned in this capacity for the past two years the Royal Ambassador Committee wishes to make the following recommendations: 1. We recommend that at the convention we express Qur deepest appreciation for the ministry of the Woman's Missionary Union of the Southern Baptist Convention and of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma for recognizing the need of the training of our boys and for the promotion and sponsorship of the Royal Ambassador work for many years. 2. We wish to commend both the leadership of the Woman's Missionary Union and Brotherhood Departments of the Baptist General CODvention for the wonderful spirit of co-operation which has been manifested during the past two years of joint sponsorship. 3. We wish to commend Bob Banks for the very excellent service which he bas rendered as Royal Ambassador secretary, first on a part-time basis while he was enrolled in school, and for the past year on a full-time basis. 4. Believing that the time has come both in the churches and the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma that the Brotherhood should take over full sponsorship of the Royal Ambassadors, we, therefore, recommend that as of Jan. 1, 1957, the Brotherhood De- partment of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma be given the full responsibility for the promotion of this work and that all of our churches and associations be encouraged to transfer the responsibility of the Royal Ambassador work to the associational and church Brotherhoods. In the event a church does not have a Brotherhood, or tht Brotherhood is not capable of sponsoring the Roy31 Ambassador work, we would encourage the church to carry on the Royal Ambassador program under whatever sponsorship is deemed best to guarantee that the program be successful. 5. Since Qur committee was authorized for a specific task during this interim period of joint 'sponsorship, and since, beginning Jan. 1, this sponsorship will be the sole responsibility of the Brotherhood Deparhnent of the Baptist General Convention, we, therefore, recommend that this committee be discontinued as of this date.. Respectfully submitted, Robert S. Scales, Chairman, Bob Banks, Miss Margaret Hutchison, J. A. Pennington, E. S. Cordell, Dr. Bruce Carter and Mrs. C. A. Summers

216 216 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST COMMENTS Organization The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma was granted a charter by the State of Oklahoma on October 31, 1946, for perpetual existence without capital stock, with its principal place of business at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. It was created by The Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma, and its Articles of Incorporation and by-laws were approved by the body in convention assembled at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, on October 28, Its stated purpose was to build, undergird, and stabilize the agencies and institutions owned and operated by the convention. The purpose for which the corporation was formed is that of a private, nonprofit, religious association "to purchase, control, manage, acquire, hold, barter, sell, convey. exchange, expand, distribute, invest, and otherwise dispose of all real, personal, or mixed property of whatever nature, and wheresoever situated-for the church and other religious and charitable purposes-necessary for its membership-worship and exercise of such powers." Its duties and powers are to receive by gift, devise, bequest, and otherwise, any money or property to be used as may be directed; to enter into contracts or trust agreements with individuals, corporations, or partnerships, for the purpose of furthering the interest of educational institutions, hospitals, orphanages, student centers, and any other property in order to assist and promulgate, the furtherance of the convention and to promote Baptist doctrines, Evangelism, Christian education, and both home nnd foreign missionary work; to borrow money; hold, administer and dispose of property; make conveyances and assignments; incur obligations and prosecute or defend any action or suit in which involved. As interpreted by the directors of the corporation, its responsibilities are to procure funds for capital improvements and endowments, and to hold, dispense, and invest funds according to designations made and as set out in the charter.

256 256 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST PERRY MEMORIAL HOSPITAL Perry, Oklahoma January 28, 1957 Board of Directors Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma 1141 North Robinson Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Gentlemen: For the year ended December 31, 1956, we have made an audit of the Perry Memorial Hospital and herein present our report of this audit. The audit report consists of the following Exhibits and Schedules: Exhibit A-General Fund Balance Sheet as of December 31, Exhibit B-Plant Fund Balance Sheet as of December 31, Exhibit C-Ford Foundation Balance Sheet as of December 31, Exhibit D-Statement of General Fund Income and General Fund Expense for the Twelve Months Ending December 31, Schedule l-schedule of General Fund Earnings from Routine and Special Services for the Twelve Months Ending December 31, Schedule 2-Schedule of General Fund Expense for Routine and Special Services for the Twelve Months Ending December 31, Your attention is called to the following comments: (1) Accounts Receivable were reconciled to the controlling account but no direct confirmations were made as of December 31, A consistent policy should be adopted concerning the classification of Bad Debts, Courtesy Discounts, and Charity Allowances. It was noted that accounts had been charged to both Courtesy Discounts and Charity Allowances after the collection department had exhausted every means short of legal action. In our opinion accounts such as these should be charged to the Bad Debt Reserve. (2) Extensions and additions of the actual physical inventories were inspected by us. We were not present at the taking of the inventories. (3) The Accounts Receivable from the United States Government represents the total amount of Social Security Tax paid on your administrator. The hospital has refunded to the administrator his share of the tax withheld as evidenced by a signed receipt on file in the office of the bookkeeper. This adjustment was necessary as the Government considered duly ordained ministers to be self-employed in-

257 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 257 dividuals rather than employees subject to Social Security Tax withholding.. (4) Through error, a claim for furniture for the administrator's residence was charged to traveling expense. This item had to be adjusted to correct the audit. We recommend that the administrator submit a detailed list of expenses along with a summary classification in the event the claim includes any item which should be properly charged to a different classification. (5) It is our understanding that your hospital has been approved by the Ford Foundation to receive $10, One-half of this amount or $5, was received in June of 1956, the balance to be received in As of December 31, 1956, the custodian of this fund has purchased equipment at' a total cost of $10, This fund therefore reflects a deficit of $ as of December 31, (6) The City of Perry, on September 5, 1956, granted your hospital a release or permission to dispose of one X-ray machine providing the City of Perry received in cash the trade in allowance. The invoice on the new machine shows an allowance for the $2, trade in machine. The hospital signed a contract payable calling for the full purchase price not considering the $2, trade in allowance. As of December 31, 1956, the City of Perry has not received their $2, which is apparently due from the Greb X-Ray Company. In Our opinion this matter should be cleared before any further payments are made On the contract. It is our opinion that the Exhibits and Schedules contained in this report present fairly the financial position of the Perry Memorial Hospital as of December 31, 1956, and the result of operations for the year ended December 31, FL:rmb Respectfully submitted, The Ley-Andersen Company By: Frank Ley

269 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 269 Enid General Hospital Enid, Oklah.oma AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDING December 31, 1956., f By Clarence F. McCubbins.. Certified Public Accountant".

270 270 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST ENID GENERAL HOSPITAL Enid, Oklahoma Board of Directors Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma 114 I North Robinson Oklahoma City 3, Oklahoma Gentlemen: At your request, I have examined the books and records of the Enid General Hospital, Enid, Oklahoma, for the year ended December 31, Attached are the following exhibits and comments: Exhibit A-General fund balance sheet. Exhibit B-Plant fund balance sheet. Exhibit C-General fund income and expense. Exhibit D-Ford Foundation. Schedule I-Income earned routine and special services. Schedule 2-General fund expenses. The hospital staff and administrator were very co-operative but the test made revealed lack of internal control of building fund and weakness in internal control between statistical and office records. The following comments' should' be considered in studying the report. 1. Accounts payable, ere not verified by correspondence, but invoices and unmailed signed checks were examined. 2. Due to the fact that at time of audit, adjustments with Blue Cross cannot be determined, this item is always reflected as income in the following year when the adjustment is determined. 3. Also in regular accepted accounting standards contributions of $33, in other income would not be considered income. 4. During the year over.$l?,ooo.oo in accounts receivable were written off to an inactive status. Of the accounts receivable $32, are considered non-current and of this amount in excess of $20,000 have had DO charges or collections since July 1, This indicates that prior year's provision for bad accounts have not been ample and results in the provision of $22, in current statements. 5. Depreciation has been computed on formula used by Oklahoma State Hospital Association in statement of reimbursable cost. As of this date a separate report lias been submitted to the board pf directors setting out the need for further exmination of the building fund and the existing of weakness in internal control of statistical,records that prevents me from expressing an opinion.

275 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 275 Southwest Baptist Hospital Mangum, Oklahoma AUDIT FOR THE YEAR ENDING December 31, By Scott Quigley, C.P.A. Altus, Oklahoma

276 276 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST SOUTHWEST BAPTIST HOSPITAL Mangum, Oklahoma January 15, 1957 Board of Directors Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma Baptist Building 1141 North Robinson Oklahoma City 3, Oklahoma Gentlemen: I have completed an audit of the books of the Southwest Baptist Hospital at Mangum, Oklahoma, for the year ending December 31, Attached, you will please find Exhibits and Schedules, as follows. Exhibit A-General Fund Balance Sheet, as of December 31, Exhibit B-Plant Fund Balance Sheet, as of December 31, Exhibit C-Statement of General Fund Income and Expenses,. January I to December 31, SCOPE OF AUDIT A Balance-Sheet type of audit was made, of the accounts at December 31, 1956; together with a spot-check of day-to-day transactions. In this connection, the following comments are made: 1. The Accounts Receivable were confirmed by ol:ltside correspondence; and no discrepancies were reported. 2. I had no opportunity to witness the physical inventory count. This portion of the audit was, therefore, limited to cursory examination of the inventory sheets and figures, as presented. 3. The Accounts Payable were not confirmed by outside correspondence... COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS In general, the books were found to be in excellent order. The following comments are made: 1. As mentioned in previous (six-months) Audit Report, the provision for losses on bad debts was obviously too high; and, although no further amounts were provided during the last six-months period, the reserve appeared to sti1l be excessive and was reduced to an arbitrary 20 per cent of accounts receivable, which should be entirely adequate. 2. The uniform accounting and uniform reporting, for which, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma is striving is, in my opinion, a highly desirable objective. The uniform financial statement forms prepared and furnished, by your office is certainly a step in the right direction. I have attempted to follow these forms to the

277 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 277 letter. However, I regret to have to report one serious discrepancy. The forms provide for the amortization of physical facilities through depreciation. This hospital has never followed this practice; which is not at all uncommon for non-profit organizations and governmental units. There being no prior reserves for depreciation on the. books, it was felt that I should defer any changes until a policy has been established by your office. This, too, will contribute to the uniformity for which you are striving. ' AUDITORS OPINION With the above limitations and exceptions, in my OpInIOn the attached financial statements present fairly the results of operations for calendar year, 1956, and the financial condition of this hospital, as of December 31, I wish to take this opportunity to express my sincere appreciation to Rev. Kersh and members of his staff for the fine co-operation I received and the many courtesies extended to me during the course of this audit. Respectfully submitted, Scott Quigley Certified Public Accountant

In my opinion, subject to my comments, this report presents fairly the financial position of the hospital on December 31, 1956, and the results of its operations fo the year then ended. Respectfully submitted, Glenn R. Davis Certified Public Accountant

305 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 305 COMMENTS Cash All cash receipts were verified and traced to deposit in the bank accounts of the hospital during the year All cancelled checks returned by the bank were compared with the disbursements record, and proved to have been properly recorded and signed. A reconciliation of the balances as shown by the banks on December 31, 1956, with the balance as per the records at that date is presented in Schedule No.4. Accounts Receivable Accounts Receivable were not verified by direct communication with the patients or person responsible for payment of the account, but the individual accounts were reconciled with the control account maintained for these items in the general records. Provision was made for Bad Accounts by establishing a Reserve for Uncollectible Accounts in an ail )unt equal to 7% of the out.. standing Accounts Receivable on December 31, An analysis of this reserve account for the year 1956 is as follows: Reserve Balance 1/1/56 3, Additions: Collections on Old Accounts Previously Charged Off against the Reserve 1, Amount added during 1956 to bring the Reserve up to 7% of the Outstanding Accounts 3, Deductions: Bad Accounts actually charged off during the year 1956 Reserve Balance 12/31/56 4, , , , Inventories Supply Inventories were accepted as furnished by the hospital staff, and no verification as to the quantities or pricing was made in connection with this examination. Inventories were classified as follows: Medical and Surgical Supplies 12, Drugs 2, Office Supplies Repairs!keeiElisppiies-============================================ and Maintenance Supplies l jzt X-Ray Supplies 1, tat ssg _============================================= i:l: Total. :.. 24, Accounts Payable As no record of Accounts Payable is maintained in the book keeping system of the hospital, it was necessary to make a detailed listing of all outstanding invoices and statements in the unpaid bills file in order to arrive- at the amount shown as Accounts Payable on the General Fund Balance Sheet.

306 306 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST General Fund Net Worth An analysis of this account is preseted as a part of the Balance Sheet of the General Fund, and reflects the changes in this account during the year It will also be noted that this year's Audit Report is presented in the form recommended by your Director of Baptist Hospitals, Mr. Tom E. Carter. This procedure coincides with a plan to present reports of all Baptist hospitals operated by the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma on a uniform basis for purposes of comparison, and publishing their annual report. Plant Fund In Exhibit "B" the Balance Sheet of the Plant Fund, I present the values for land, buildings, and equipment as reflected by the books, and also an analysis of the additions and deductions during the year It will be noted that for the first time an allowance for depreciation has been taken into account in these statements. In reviewing these plant fund accounts with the present Hospital Administrator it was revealed that the value for furniture in the Administrators Residence Account was greatly overstated, after 11 years of no depreciation. An appraisal of the remaining furniture belonging to the hospital was made on December 31, 1956, which established a value of approximately $ The records were adjusted to reflect this present value, which is shown in the Balance Sheet. The item "Reduction in Plant Assets," as shown in the analysis of the Plant Fund Net \Vorth, is the result of this write down in the value of furniture in the administrator's residence. School of Nursing Schedules 4, 5, and 6 present an analysis of the various funds maintained for the School of Nursing, and the results of their operations for the year ended December 31, These records are kept separately from the general records of the hospital, and constitutes a separate report of the cash handled by the school officials. Resume In general, all records were kept in good order, and I wish to express my appreciation for the courtesy and co-operation extended to me and II?-Y staff during the progress of this examination.
