Home Missions The Home Mission Board is grouping its resources for u a cre alive approach to meet the near revolutionary changes which dominate life in the United States," according to Executive Secretary Arthur B. Rutledge. Social changes affecting missions include the urbanization and industrialization of the nation, the population growth, the search for

47 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 47 civil justice, and a revolution in morals. Rutledge says the Home Mission Board is seeking to discover the individual's, the church's, and the denomination's mission in a chang society. High lights in meeting. change included the participation by the Home Mission Board in the SBC's program study, improvement in organization, additions to and utilization of staff personnel, record support of missions by all Southern Baptists through participation and finances, and initiation of new ministries. Changes with the agency included the addition of a Division of Administrative Services, a Department of Work Related. to Non Evangelicals, a Department of Christian Social Ministries, a Department of Special Mission Ministries, art services, mission property services, and emphasis on metropolitan and academic evangelism, an associate director in the Division of Missions, and the Division of Education and Promotion was renamed Division of Communication. In supporting missions in the United States, Cuba, Puerto Rico and Panama, Southern Baptists channeled more than $7,900,000 through the Home Mission Board. The Cooperative Program provided $4,365,353, including the largest advance section in history, $911,753; and the Annie Armstrong Offering promoted by Woman's Missionary Union provided a record $3,573,146. Disaster Relief became a permanent ministry of the agency in the Department of Christian Social Ministries, and $50,000 was allocated from the advance section for aid to hurricane stricken areas in Louisiana. The missionary force of over 2,000 is mostly employed under the co-operative agreements with state Baptist conventions. The lower figure of the number of missionaries is due to -a restudy of missionary categories. In addition, 656 students are employed for 10 weeks for the summer of 1966, and the first group of US-2ers (college graduates for two-year terms) and the first of the Christian Service Corps (mature lay persons for short terms of voluntary service) were appointed. The 12 programs through which the Home Mission Board seeks to bring our land to know Christ are the foliowing: Evangelism Development Metropolitan Missions Establishing New Churches and Christian Social Ministries Church-Type Missions Church Loans Rural-Urban Missions Pioneer Missions Work with National Baptists Language Missions Chaplaincy Ministries Work Related to Non- Associational Administration Evangelicals Service Studies _ in. depth continue with ministries to metropolitan areas in resorts, OD_ the rural-urban fringe, and other points of change. One in-depth study on how churches might minister to ex-prisoners continues under the direction of a seminary professor. Another study,

48 48 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST of transitional areas in metropolitan units, was completed and is being implemented into programs of the agency. Active duty chaplains increased during the year, matching "the increased manpower and readiness" in Viet Nam. Some 50 Southern Baptist chaplains were ordered to duty during the past year, and now 528 serve with the Army, Navy and Air Force, and the figure is expected to reach 600 before the end of Seven hundred and eighty-one chaplains, in addition to those in active duty with the military, are commissioned in the reserve, student program, or National Guards with the military services. Another 233 chaplains serve full-time with the veteran's administration, hospitals, and other institutions and industry, plus 41 part time chaplains in these categories. Statistical summary - number of workers, including summer workers, 3,150; professions of faith-57,407; There were 35,523 additions to churches; total professions and additions--92,930. There were 419 new missions started and 244 new churches constituted. The Home Mission Board is providing ways the individual, the church, and the denomination can meet the needs of people. Your increased support and your sharing Christ, a larger missionary force and staff, the forming of 12 programs with organizational changes to implement them are designed to place God's Word in the hands of people so they will accept it in their hearts. There is need for 186 home missionaries. Needs in our land are greater today than ever before. There are more people, places and spiritual problems. Evangelism, the starting of new churches and church-type missions, and other traditional work in home mis- sions will receive priority. Special attention will be given to metropolitan areas, the downtown church, and the growing number of unchurched. Without prayer support your Home Mission Board cannot get along. Prayer is one way everyone can participate in giving God's Word to the people in our land and other lands. Home Missions Committee, John R. Bisagno, chairman, Kenneth Williams, Archie Rivers, Harry Gootas, Mrs. Hale Dixon, Bill Martin, and Ed Readout. 13. Motion carried to adopt the report. John Bisagno spoke to the report and urged that more workers volunteer for missionary activitie,s. All home missionaries present came to the platform; also our chaplains. Each introduced himself and told of his field of labor. John Bisagno led in prayer for God's blessings upon each of them in their fields of labor. 14. Gerald Pahner, Southern Baptist associate in the Language Department and group ministries of the Home Mission Board, spoke regarding the board's efforts in the field of our langnage ministry. He then led in prayer for our two missionaries who are now in prison in Cuba.

49 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA Eugene Herndon brought the report on Foreign Missions. Foreign Missions We rejoice today because the Great Commission is being carried out through preaching, teaching, healing and training by a great force of dedicated men and women. They are individuals as Isaiah, saved by the grace of God, who have heard the call and have dedicated their lives to full-time Christian service. In 1953 we had 908 missionaries serving in 34 nations of the world. In 1963 the number of missionaries had reached 1,792 serving in 53 countries. At the close of 1965, there were 2,070 missionaries under appointment by the Foreign Mission Board for service in 61 countries, plus Hawaii and the Spanish Baptist Publishing House in EI Paso. As of July 1966, we have a total of 2,189 missionaries; included in this number are 2,024 career missionaries, 165 missionary associates, missionary journeymen and the special project nurse. These missionaries are under appointment to 62 countries where they are involved in general evangelism, educational, medical and publication work. Included also is the operation of book stores and reading rooms in many countries. In 1965 the 4,410 churches and 7,131 mission points reported 571,590 enrolled in Sunday scho"l, with 492,148 church members and 48,080 baptisms. We have 1,095 Baptist schools on the foreign fields with 184,810 students served by 5,703 national and 382 missionary teachers. Along with these are 43 theological institutions with 1,510 students and six women's training schools with 527 students. We have 20 hospitals and 52 clinics and dispensaries which served 504,963 patients last year. We have 21 Publication centers which produced 18,499,307 pieces including periodicals, books and tracts; 16 orphanages with 283 boys and 352 girls, and 17 good will centers with 3,513 children and 1,868 adults enrolled. Southern Baptists continue to be aware that "the fields are white unto harvest" and that the Cooperative Program is still the best means of reaching the world for Christ. It is the financial fonndaion of foreign missions. Through the years Southern Baptist churches have done together what they could never have done individually. The Cooperative Program is the solid financial base on which foreign missions advance is projected, overseas budgets are planned, and additional missionaries are appointed. Total contributions of Southern Baptists for foreign missions amounted to $24,367,327 or per cent of total gifts to all causes. Last year we received $13,194, through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering. The operating bndget for 1966 is $19,482, and our capital budget for 1966 is $5,- 800,000. A minimum of $2,000,000 increase in the operating budget of the Foreign Mission Board is necessary in order to provide for the appointment of new missionaries and make minimum provision for strengthening work on the fields.

50 50 ANNUAL OF TIlE BAPTIST We need to expand our missionary personnel, broaden our geographical areas, increase our evangelism, speed up our church development, encourage Our work in Christian education, medical missions and personnel involvement. An important aspect of evangelism is mass communications. Increasing use of all media of mass communication will be made in the days ahead. Radio and television afford remarkable opportunities for preaching the gospel of Christ. Recording studios are being established at strategic centers for program production. More missionaries will be appointed for radio and television ministries where recommended by missions. To meet these needs and to place 5,000 missionaries abroad will demand greatly enlarged financial resources from Southern Baptists. To this urgent and gigantic task, we are deeply committed. Because more than 1,000 young people have asked the Foreign Mission Board for appointment, because the need is great, and because of the visible success of the crusade in Brazil, and elsewhere, let us pray for God to keep the doors open, and open other doors, that others may hear the gospel of salvation. Pray for the following projected crusades: Japan-April, 1967 Peru-November, 1966 Chile-1967 Portugal-May, 1967 Greater Americas-1969 This is our day and our greatest hour. May we be found every man in his place during this great hour of crisis. As we ask the question that Isaiah asked, "How long must I continue to go?"; we also hear the same answer, "Until the cities be wasted without inhabitants and the land be utterly desolate before us." Respectfully submitted, Eugene Herndon, Chairman, Curtis Dixon, Jerry Fielder, Fred Skaggs, Mrs. Joe Skinner, Jim Hall, Herb Masters 16. Motion carried for the adoption of the report. All foreign missionaries present came to the platform and were introduced. Herndon led in prayer for all of our foreign missionaries and their fields of labor. 17. Special music was given by "The Singing Churchmen" under the direction of James D. Woodward. This group is composed of the mus.ic leaders of Qur Oklahoma Baptist churches. 18. R. Cal Guy, professor of missions at Southwestern Seminary. brought the closing message of this session. His subject was: "Our Life in Christ and How to Share It." Joe Howard, associational missionary in Enen Association, led in prayer bringing this session to adjournment.

51 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 51 Wednesday Morning November 9, First Vice-president J. W. Wade called the convention to order at 9 a.m. 21. Chuck Hopkins, Harvard Avenue Church, Tulsa, led in "Worship in Song." Songs used were: "To God Be the Glory" and "'Tis So Sweet to Trust in Jesus." 22. Robert Haskins, Talihina, led in prayer for divine guidance and blessings upon this session of the convention. 23. John Bisagno brought a devotional message on the subject: "The Teachings of Jesus... the Great Commission." Mark 6:7-13 was his text. It was a moving message of challenge to "go." Bisagno has recently visited the new nation of Guyana. During his visit, there were more professions of faith in Jesus than there were members of our Baptist churches, before the campaign began. 24. Auguie Henry brought the report of the Baptist Foundation. Report of the Board of Directors of the Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma Presented by Auguie Henry, Executive Secretary The year 1966 marks the Twentieth Anniversary of the establishment of The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma by the Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma, and the close of a 10-year program of the Foundation which began with the year Ten-Year Program The lo-year program set out the following objectives: (1) Have 2,260 living trusts (including gift annuities) and wills in which the Baptist Foundation is named as trustee for institutions and agencies. (2) Have $5,000,000 invested in current church building loans by the close of (3) Have $lo,ooo,ooo in endowment. We will have until Dec. 31, 1966, to complete the lo-year program but as of Sept. 30 we have gone far beyond the objectives of formal trusts and wills, with a total of 2,785. In addition thousands of gifts have been received without formal trust agreements. As of Sept. 30 $3,799, was outstanding in church building loans. The $10 million objective in endowment has not been reached, but under the circumstances the assets of $7,099,215.72, most of which is endowment, is no small accomplishment. As the 10-year program does not close until Dec. 31, 1966, we expect that the endowment figure will be considerably increased.

52 52 ANNUAL OF TIlE BAPTIST Twenty Years of Pioneering The accomplishments in a pioneering field of denominational endeavor where few trails had been blazed prior to 1946 are too numerous to put in this report. However, we think it is befitting in this 20th annual report to name some of the trails that have been blazed by our Foundation in the work of a state, denominational, incorporated trust agency: (1) Our Foundation has pioneered in promoting a church-centered program on total "Bible stewardship," including the "stewardship of estates." (2) We have pioneered in presenting a united agency and institutional program to associations, which was known as a "Baptist Tour with a Forward Look." (3) It was the first state Baptist foundation to become the sole trust agency for every agency and institution owned and operated by a state convention. It has also served as the trust agency for churches, associations and other Baptist organizations. In addition, it has received and administered trust funds for agencies and institutions of the Southern Baptist Convention. (4) It was the first state foundation to procure, administer and disburse building funds for institutions as a regular phase of its work. From 1949 to 1954 it majored on the procurement of buildings because of the great need for buildings at the institutions. Some accomplishments in this area of endeavor have been: A. Ail of the funds were provided through the Foundation for the locations and construction of buildings as follows: W. S. Kerr and the John D. Rinard buildings at the Orphans' Home; the land and the Jimmy Johnson Memorial Cottage, the Lucia E. Gensman Cottage and the R. C. Howard Cottage at Boys Ranch Town; the location for Southeastern BSU at Durant, and the BSU center at Wilburton, and the location for the Hugo Golden Age Home. B. Other buildings for which the Foundation has procured and received a portion of the funds were: Mrs. W. S. Kerr Memorial Dormitory, Ford Music Hall, Thurmond Science-Administration building and the John W. Raley Chapel at Oklahoma Baptist University; the BSU centers at Norman and Stillwater; the Maude and James T. George Cottage and the Andrew Potter Cottage at the Orphans' Home; Baptist Memorial Hospital and Baptist Golden Age Homes in Oklahoma City; the B. B. McKinney Chapel at Falls Creek Assembly, and buildings at Camp Hudgens for Royal Ambassadors, McAlester. (5) It has pioneered in setting up a regular church loan program as a.part of its investment program. (6) It has pioneered in allowing the executive secretary to serve as trustee for minors and other loved ones of donors to the Foundation. (7) It has pioneered in producing printed material on aspects of the work of a state Baptist Foundation that had not been previously printed.

53 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 53 (8) It has pioneered in administering student scholarship and loan funds, including students at OBU, students at the Baptist schools of nursing, for students attending Southern Baptist seminaries and for colored students. (9) It has pioneered in the investment of funds. The Investment Committee approves all investments and not one single dollar has ever been paid for professional fees on investments. Endowment Realizing that the greatest physical need of the institutions and agencies was an endowment that would adequately supplement allocations from the Cooperative Program, in 1954 the Foundation began majoring on the procurement of endowment, but not to the neglect of buildings and other trust funds. It is a profound conviction of the Board of Directors of the Convention that our institutions must have a perpetual income from substantial endowment in order for them to serve as the founders meant for them to serve when they were esab Iished. Receipts and Disbursements Beginning with trust assets of $76,000, which were transferred by the convention to the Foundation, receipts have totaled $13,818, as of Sept. 30, Disbursements to Baptist causes have been $6,719,618.53, with assets of $7,099, on Sept. 30, 1966, making it the second largest state Baptist Foundation.. Total receipts from Oct. 1, 1965, through Sept. 30, 1966, have been $1,431, Disbursements to Baptist causes have been $380, Living Trusts and Wills During the past 12 months a total of 263 formal living trusts and wills have been procured by representatives of the Foundation. In addition, hundreds of gifts have been received without a formal trust agreement. A number of other wills have been written as a result of the Foundation's promotional program. Insurance More and more donors are finding that a life insurance policy is one of the best means by which one may contribute endowment and other trust funds through the Foundation for Baptist agencies and institutions. A number of new policies are being written with the Foundation named as trustee for the different causes. Others are being assigned to the Foundation. Church Loans Due to the heavy increase in the number of applications for church loans and due to the fact that only 50 per cent of the Foundation's trust assets may be invested in church loans, the church loan committee found it to be necessary at its May 13, 1966, meeting to make what it hopes will be a temporary change in policy regarding the closing of loans committed after May, All loans committed after that date must have the stipulation that the loans will be closed when funds are available. It is the hope of the Foundation that the

54 54 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST increase in receipts will be sufficient to make it possible for committals to be made during the latter part of 1967 as they have been during the past 12 years. During the past 12 months 27 church loans have been committed for $711, In that year 26 loans have been closed for a total of $808, Guy James The Foundation was shocked by the sudden death of Guy James, one of its most faithful and able directors, on Sept. 8, 1966, in Medellin, Colombia, South America. James was elected by the Board of Directors of the Foundation on Jan. 22, 1963, to fill the unexpired term of Senator Robert S. Kerr. He was a member of the Investment and Church Building Loan Trust Fund Committees. He was a deacon in First Church, Oklahoma City, and a director of the Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma. We express our heartfelt sympathy to Mrs. James and to the children, Guy James Jr. and Mary Brett. We pray God's blessings upon them during these days of adjustment occasioned by the passing of their loved one. Personnel On Aug. 1, 1966, Raymond J. Hurt became chief accountant, succeeding Wayne Merritt who resigned as administrative assistant, effective June 24, to go with the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation's accountancy has grown so rapidly during the past few years that it is necessary for the chief accountant to give all of his time to directing that work. Mr. Hurt comes to the Foundation with excellent training and years of experience as an accountant. He was accountant and office manager for the Oklahoma City office of New State Ice from During the past two years he served as general manager.. Mrs. Delbert Marlow has been an assistant in accounting since J anuary, Even though the work of the Foundation increases every month no additional personnel has been added since Aug. 1, At the present time, in addition to the executive secretary, there is a staff of eight people, including: Thomas E. Carter, assistant executive secretary; Marvin H. Hall, field secretary; Raymond J. Hurt, chief accountant; Earl L. Stark, field secretary, and Ednamae White Bennett, Dena Kirby, Beatrice Revels, secretaries, and Mrs. Delbert Marlow, assistant in accounting. Two of the staff members have been with the Foundation for more than 10 years. On Feb. 1, 1966 Ednamae White Bennett completed 12 years as secretary to the executive secretary. On Aug. 1, 1966, Earl L. Stark completed 10 years as field secretary Promotional Program (1) In addition to the regular promotional program which has been carried on during the past 17 years, plans have been made to revive the presentation of the "Implementing the Forward Look Program" during The program will be presented in the Oklahoma County and the Tulsa County Associations, covering a period of approximately 22 weeks.

55 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 55 (2) Continued emphases will be given to chtuch dinner meetings which have, been so successful in the past for the discussion of the services of the Foundation to individuals, churches, associations,. agencies and institutions. (3) A new filmstrip, "Generations to Come," hs been prepared by the Stewardship Commission in co-operation with the Association of Baptist Foundation Executives and the Public Relations Department of the Texas Baptist Foundation. The Foundation has purchased 65 of these fihnstrips for use by the Foundation staff members, superintendents of missions and institutional personnel. This is an excellent fihnstrip that should be shown in all of Otu chtuches. Tulsa Foundation Office The Foundation's office in the Tulsa Baptist Center has proved to be a convenience to the people of Tulsa County and surrounding counties in eastern Oklahoma. A member of the Foundation staff is in the office the first week in each month. Anyone from the Tulsa area who would like to talk with a Foundation representative may make arrangements to do so by writing The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma at 710 South College, Tulsa, 74104, or 1141 North Robinson, Oklahoma City, The telephone number of the Tulsa office is WE , and in Oklahoma City the number is CE We are deeply grateful to Superintendent of Missions Leo Perry, his staff and to pastors of the Tulsa Association for their co-operation with the Foundation in carrying on the work from the Tu1sa office. Recommendations (1) That Article V, Section I, Paragraph 3 of the Foundation's hylaws he amended by adding the words, "shall not be eligible for reelection to the Board of Directors for a period of one year." Then the paragraph would read,. 'ch year thereafter the Board of Directors of the Foundationshall recommend four (4) members to the Directors of the Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma, and said Board shall then report and recommend to the Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma the four (4) members, to be elected, whose tenure shall be for four (4) years, and shall not be eligible for re-election tt> the Board of Directors for a period of one year." (2) Assuming that this amendment will be approved by the convention, we recommend to the Board of Directors of the convention, who will present the recommendations to the convention, that the following be elected to a four-year term as successors to directors of the. Baptist Foundation who will not be eligible to succeed themselves hnmediately after the annual meeting of the state convention: Hicks. Epton, Wewoka; Charles Green, M.D., Lawton; E. W. Claiborne, Bartlesville, and Hubert H. Raborn, Oklahoma City.

Chuck Hopkins led the congregation in singing "I Will Sing of My Redeemer." 28. LeRoy Raley brought the report on Religious Literature, and spoke to the report. Religious literature "Of the making of many books there is no end" so said Solomon in Ecclesiastes 12:12. If this statement were true then, it is doubly true today. Never has there been so many magazines and books published as we have flooding the market today. Some are good while others are deplorable. Some are designed to evangelize men, and build Christian character, while others are damning in nature and destructive to the Christian life. The written word is a barometer of our civilization and a permanent record of each generation. We as Baptists may analyze the situation, deplore the evil and approve the good, but unless and until we do something more concrete about it, the situation will not be improved. We reaffirm our conviction that the Bible remains the ultimate in Christian literature. It is indispensable in the life of the individual and the denominaton. It should be in every home. Its truths shoulj live in every Christian heart. It should be distributed and utilized by Baptists in the promotion of evangelism and all other forms of Christian service. The Bible spirit must be demonstrated in Christian Jiving, and its doctrines proclaimed if we are to be true to the commission which Christ gave to us. However, the Bible should be accompanied by other forms of Christian literature, and Baptists have always been in the forefront in this field of Christian endeavor. Jesus wrote upon the sand, but Paul and other disciples, inspired by the Holy Spirit, set us an example of writing the Christian message upon more permanent materials. We have wisely fohowed their example. This literature is imperative in helping man to relate himself properly to God and his fellowman. Baptist literature is second only to the Bible in religious publications. Our writers and publishers have adhered strictly to certain basic requirements, such as: Christian literature must be true to the Bible. It is the basis of all truth, and any publication which is not in harmony with the Bible teachings is out of place in Baptist circles. Also, it must be factual, historically and scientifically as well as theologically. Halftruths, and exaggerations are as destructive as outright fabrications. Furthermore, our literature must keep in mind the reader to whom it is directed. We cannot mold the characters of Primary-age children.with adult-level materials. Our publishers very wisely adhere to this principle as they produce their materials for instruction and inspiration. We take great pride in the periodicals and other literature published by our Sunday School Board, Home and Foreign Mission

58 58 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Boards, Woman's Missionary Union and Brotherhood Commission. We believe they will continue to provide us with fine periodicals, books and tracts with a twofold objective: to assist the churches in their ministry of Bible teaching and training, and to help the individuals experience personal salvation and growth toward the highest level of Christian maturity and service. Every effort is made by the editors and their staffs to maintain doctrinal soundness, educational effectiveness and general excellence in all publications. Our people universally have given their hearty endorsement to our publications by their widespread use, for Baptist literature goes around the world today as never before in history. It is used by people in the local churches in the homeland and by our members away in service. Our military men and their dependents abroad are making use of Baptist literature in many ways, and are winning many to Christ in their host countries. The same is true of Baptists in other phases of government service, as well as those in industry. We can help them by making the best Christian literature readily available to them. Churches should see to it that their members away in service re ceive their church bulletins, the Baptist Messenger, the Sunday school and Training Union quarterlies, as a bare minimum. The Baptist Messenger has been carrying the gospel message into Baptist homes for 54 years. It is now enjoying an all-time high in circulation, going' into 80,000 homes every week. We heartily commend Jack Gritz and his fine staff for their outstanding performance in the publication and distribution of a truly topflight magazine. Baptist leaders at all levels of organization are urged to encourage their people to read the Baptist Messenger and other Baptist periodicals. They can be used effectively in discussion groups, especially in Training Union, WMU and Brotherhood meetings. We must remember that the message they contain is effective only as it is read and incorporated into the lives of our people. We also recommend that attention be given to the religious pages of our secular press. Many daily papers have items of importance in the world of religion which should be noted by Christian people. The written word is not only ancient in tradition and informative of the progress of the race of mankind, but is also the only means available to man in finding his place in the continuity of that progress, to establish intelligent relationships with his fellowman and to come to grips with the supreme fact of God at the center of the universe, and his own 1ife. From the crude pictures in the cave dwellings of races long since vanished, to the highly stylized and dramatic statements of dedicated minds today, the reader finds one thread of continuity: The awareness of God. From these pages of history expressing man's concern with God, and his inherent demand -for worship we can know that God has always walked among men. So he did in the beginning, so he does today. It is for us then, to take these two primary facts of history, man's inherent concern and God's presence and record them in every conceivable manner so that all mankind may read of the presence of God in Christ.

59 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA S9 We pray that God will give us the wisdom and consecration to carry on this vital ministry in a manner that is pleasing to him and edifying to mankind. LeRoy Raley, chairman, Calvin Ussery, J. M. Banther, Richard Waters, Paul B. Clark, Eugene Braley and H. Ray Bowen 29. Motion carried to adopt the report. Editor Jack L. Gritz stressed the importance of the Baptist Messenger to all of our Baptist programs. 30. Secretary Lyle Garlow addressed the convention regarding the Department of Religious Education. Members of the department were introduced. Religious Education Lyle Garlow, Secretary This has been a year of transition in the Department of Religious Education. We have missed E. W. Westmoreland, who retired Jan. 1, However, because of his excellent leadership and training of his staff during the past 24 years, we were able to make the transition smoothly. The work of our department continues to rna jor in three main areas: Sunday school, Baptist Student Union and Training Union. Student work steadily grows under the most capable leadership of Clyde Clayton. Bill Haggard, who has been in the department only one year, is promoting Training Union with a most enthusiastic and energetic program. It is my privilege to carry the Sunday school promotion. Our department is ably assisted by two other associates: Miss Alga Motychak, director of children's work; and Hugh Willoby, director of youth work. We will suffer another loss this year in the early retirement of Mrs. Dorothy Sneed, who has served almost 25,years and has been responsible for so much of the work and success of our department, and who has been of immeasurable help to me during this year. Mrs. Herb Collins, presently secretary to Bill Haggard, will succeed Mrs. Sneed on Jan. 1, Others in the department are: Mrs. Joan Garrison, secretary to Clyde Clayton; Mrs. Roberta Peck, receptionist and secretary. and Miss Judy Hill, Sunday school records secretary. Currently the department is involved in One-day Growth Workshops which will take us into every association in the state during a six-month period, September through February. These workshops are accomplishing their design-to stimulate interest and concern for growth. Sunday School Enrolment reached a total of 333,675 during 1965, a loss of 2,333. Awards in Category 17, Sunday School Principles and Meth-

60 60 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST ods in the Church Study Course, totaled 10,617. Oklahoma ranked seventh in Category 17, and ninth in total awards among the states of the convention. Standard Units totaled 716, placing Oklahoma fourth in the convention. Vacation Bible Schools, 1965-Enrolment was 136,504, a gain of 10,292 over the previous years. Known schools totaled 1,130, with 776 schools reporting 2,338 professions of faith. Four associations. Arbuckle, Concord-Kiowa, Kay and Oklahoma County had a Vacation Bible School in each church.

"The church that does not speak to the student will not speak to tomorrow." This statement from Kenneth Chaffin is a major reason for Oklahoma Baptist's ministry with students. The fall of 1966 witnesses college enrolments which at many institutions are almost overwhelming: 4,000 Baptists at OSU; nearly 3,000 at Central State; over 2,000 at Tahlequah; a total of almost 20,000 at the 24 schools where there are Baptist Student Unions. A major thrust in 1966, from the convention's student office, has been in the area of endowment. The Baptist Foundation has been active in calling the attention of Oklahoma Baptists to the Deed for BSU endowment funds. Trusts have been established and wills written which will ultimately benefit student work at several schools. Dates of importance to student work are: December 25, 1966-Student Night at Christmas January 7, 1967-Student Summer Missionary Selection January 12-13, 1967-Directors' Seminar March 10-12, 1967-World Missions Conference March 31-April 2, 1967-International Conference April 21-23, 1967-Spring Training Conference August, n to College Day August 24-30, 1967-Student Week, Glorieta September 9, 1967-State BSU Planning Meeting October 27-29, 1967-St.te BSU Convention I.

65 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 65 City area, is to engage in, develop, encourage, promote, finance, contribute to or carryon religious, charitable, educational, benevolent or scientific work, endeavors and activities of any and au kinds; particularly those performed or promoted by the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. The Articles of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Baptist Laymen's Corporation provide for Convention approval of its Board of Directors. The first project undertaken by the Baptist Laymen's Corporation was financing, constructing and leasing the Doctors Medical Building near Baptist Memorial Hospital in Oklahoma City. Groundbreaking was held on Aug. 28, 1960 and the building was completely occupied in June, The Trust Agreement by which the Baptist Laymen's Corporation held the land on which the Doctors Medical Building was located was revoked by the Convention's Board of Directors on Oct. 23, At this time, the land and building were conveyed to the Baptist General Convention along with the assets and liabilities of Baptist Laymen's Corporation arising from the construction of the building. In September, 1963, following a request from the Board of Directors of the Baptist General Convention, Baptist Laymen's Corpora tion agreed to assume the responsibility of financing, constructing and operating the Oklahoma City Baptist Golden Age Homes at Northwest Highway and Council Road on land given to the convention for this purpose. The 35-acre tract of land was deeded to the Baptist Laymen's Corporation in accordance with the same terms and conditions set forth in the resolution regarding the Doctors Medical Building. This project was financed by the sale of first mortgage real estate bonds and was completed and ready for open house as a part of the program at the Baptist General Convention's annual meeting on Nov. 10, The Oklahoma City complex consists of 20 apartments and Lackey Manor, a 62-bed nursing home. In August, 1966, there was an average daily occupancy of 57 residents in Lackey Manor and 12 of the 20 apartments were occupied. H. Atlon Webb continued as the administrator until January, At this time, both Webb and W. C. Campbell, administrator of Miami Baptist Hospital requested that Webb be allowed to return to his former position as assistant administrator of Miami Baptist Hospital. This transfer was effected immediately and W. G. Kersh; director of Baptist Hospitals and Golden Age Homes, was asked to assume administration of the Golden Age Homes on a temporary basis. This pia!) was followed until August, 1966, at which time it was agreed that Kersh would give most of his time to the Oklahoma City Golden Age Homes and Lackey would temporarily handle the details of the Department of Hospitals. The Baptist Golden Age Homes ministry is one of the truly outstanding opportunities for fulfuilling the needs of people.. It

66 66 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST merits the support of all our churches and the loyalty of all Oklahoma Baptists." Initial plans are already in the talking stage for an enlargement of Lackey Manor. Another 40 beds are desired from the standpoint of practical administration, as well as for the purpose of extending the ministry, to meet the "needs of more people. Officers of the Baptist Laymen's Corporation are: James M. Gregory, president; Hubert H. Raborn, vice-president; George A. Bond, secretary; R. C. Howard, treasurer. In Memoriam The Baptist Laymen's Corporation suffered a great loss in the death. of two of its most active members, Oscar Davis and Guy James, during the past year.

(4) Miss Betty Ware, Director of Nursing, Baptist Memorial Hospital, spoke concerning the great need for more nurses. (5) Bill Kersh spoke in the interest of the Oklahoma City Golden Age Home. 44. H. Truman Maxey presented the report of the Department of Child Care. 45. Motion carried to adopt the report. Child Care H. Truman Maxey, Executive, Director The slogan now current for our benevolent work is "Oklahoma Baptist Child Care is the heartbeat that meets the heartache of Oklahoma children." Oklahoma Baptists have met the progressive changes that have brought our state from "tepees to towers." They h,ave met the industrial and cultural changes in their churches and in their mission program which includes their child care program. They were among the first to build on the "cottage plan" and now look forward to completing new buildings on the "family plan" where brothers and sisters are able to live in the same building and

67 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 67 experience a more normal family relationship. Oklahoma Baptists were not afraid of problems and we were the first denomination in Oklahoma to begin a work for boys in difficulty. When new medicines increased the longevity of parents, it reduced the number of full orphan children. We carefully studied the needs of children, and those from broken homes became a challenge for care on a short-time basis, for we became "partners with parents in trouble," and with a trained social work staff and informed workers, children could be re-established in their family and homes could be rehabilitated in many instances for the return of the child. Those who could never return were found permanent homes by adoption or served in our group homes, at the Baptist Children's Home or the Boys Ranch Town, depending upon the age of the child and its needs. Changes in services to meet children's needs necessitated a larger, better trained, and a more specialized staff. Facilities were also tailored to be current with the need. This means buildings were so arranged or planned with special purposes in mind for the best interest of children who are served. The programs of training and education for the children of today in our benevolent work, must meet the standards of our schools, our churches and our communities. They compete with other children in the community, school and the local church. They take their normal place in the society of children and young people, and in their maturity will take their place and responsibility in the society of mankind. These changes also affect our need for financial support from our churches and Baptist people. Forty-five per cent of the child care budget is certain, because it is planned income from endowment, Cooperative Program and regular church gifts. Fifty-five per cent still must come from other sources, mainly special offerings. Baptists must "have a heart" to keep the "ache out of heartache." In the past 12 months Baptists have been entrusted with the care of 286 children and young people with an average daily load of 190. For this work, we employ 58 workers which gives a total Baptist family of 248. Our immediate responsibility is the Thanksgiving Love Offering on Nov. 13. In 1965 this hit an all-time low, because some churches didn't observe the offering at all, and some did not feel a deep concern. Many Baptist people did not have an opportunity to make their gift. Some churches gave sacrificially. Child care is the mission work of all the Baptist churches and it takes the combined effort of all. We are praying that each church will feel keenly this responsibility and do its best. May the Lord be able to say to every church and its pastor, "Well done..." because they have been faithful in the task of "pushing the ache out of heartache" for Oklahoma children. Workers in the department were introduced. Judson Cook, for 17 years a leader in the department, spoke. 46. J. Marvin Gaskin brought the report of the Historical Commission.

68 68 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 47. Motion carried for adoption of the report. George McDow and Vernon Pendleton spoke to the report. Historical Commission J. Marvin Gaskin, Secretary The main project of the Historical Commission the past year has been the publication of the book, Baptist Milestones in Oklahoma by J. M. Gaskin. The commission voted Jan. 28, 1963 to authorize the writing and publication of this book, and the author turned the finished manuscript over to the commission at Lawton Jan. 24, An editorial committee composed of John Dowdy, Jack Gritz, and Linston Brister reviewed and advised concerning the format and content of the manuscript, and a special committee composed of C. B. Lewis, Floyd Craig and G. H. Crittendon, directed plans for publication and distribution. The book came from the press in time for distribution at the first week of Falls Creek Assembly in July. A total of-3,ooo copies in hard back cover were printed, of which about 2,000 were ordered by pre-publication subscribers. The book is available at the Historical Commission's booth at this convention or by mail at the price of $2.55 per copy. In the Sept. 13, 1966 meeting of the commission it was voted to give full support to the convention's plans to observe the golden jubilee anniversary of Falls Creek Baptist Assembly in Special projects of the commission in this respect will include: 1. The publication of a history of Falls Creek entitled The Falls Creek Story by J. M. Gaskin. This book is to be written in a more popular style than the academic type of history and will include many quotes and other items of human interest. An extensive picture section is planned.. 2. A history center is to be developed and dedicated during the encampment next summer, and the commission voted to name the center Falls Creek Memorial Park. This park will occupy a lot formerly leased by Downtown Church, Oklahoma City, and is considered one of the first sites where W. D. Moorer and J. B. Rounds held prayer meetings to dedicate these grounds to the future use of Oklahoma Baptists as a summer assembly. Specific details planned for the park as approved by the commission include the following: (1) The erection of 12 stone posts marking the boundary of the lot with the possibility of counecting the posts with short chain lengths. (2) Each stone is to be emblematical signifying the 12 tribes of Israel and the 12 apostles of the Judeo-Christian tradition. Each of the posts will also be designated as a memorial to a person who played a vital role in the early history of Falls Creek. (3) A small marble slab is planned for each post bearing an appropriate inscription including the name of the person for whom that post has been named. (4) Suggested names of persons to be placed on the posts are: J. B. Rounds, W. D. Moorer, F. M. McConnell, Miss Sue Howell,

69 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 69 Mrs. Maude Abner, E. E. "Hot Dog" Lee, Blount F. Davidson, Thad H. Farmer, Andrew Potter, Berta K. Spooner, Fred A. McCaulley, Rosaleo Mills Appleby. (5) Erection of a cast-iron historical marker facing the principal street near the site, and caption the marker, FALLS CREEK ME MORIAL PARK. (6) It is suggested lbat the convention consider the possibility of putting a small pavilion in the center of lbe park where a display map of the assembly grounds could be placed in a glass enclosed frame and where a small tract display could be arranged. (7) It is suggested that two or three casual benches be placed in the park and that these be painted to match the pavilion in attractive colors. (8) It is recommended that a brief tract be printed entitled "The Falls Creek Story" for free distribution from the tract dispenser in the Memorial Park. This tract could be based on the proposed book, The Falls Creek Story. In addition to the items above the commission reports that the Oklahoma Baptist Historical Society continues to function as an effective auxiliary to the commission in promoting the history interest of Oklahoma Baptists. There are 98 members of the society, of whom 15 are life members and 83 are annual members. Life membership dues are $25 and annual memberships are $2. All interested persons are invited to membership in the Historical Society during this convention. 48. James Baldwin, Bartlesville, brought the American Bible Society report, and spoke briefly regarding this vital program. 49. Motion carried to adopt the report. American Bible Society "God's Word for a New Age" is the lbeme for lbe 150lb Anniversary of the American Bible Society which is being observed during It is also lbe lberne of a program of worldwide missionary advance. Bible Societies of many nations are working together to provide greatly increased quantities of Scriptures urgently needed for mission work around the globe. If the people of lbe world are to know Jesus Christ the one hope of men and nations, they must have the Bible. Each person must have the Bible in his own language because it speaks to his heart as no other language can speak. But, in most countries, people cannot afford even the cost of printing lbe Scriptures. The Bible is the essential tool of missions and evangelism. The missionary uses it in all his work. The Bible itself is a missionary. It can go where the human missionary cannot go. It can stay on after he must leave-and keep on _speaking to a person's heart. The American Bible Society is an active- partner of Southern Baptists. It serves mission work at home and abroad, helps missionaries translate the Bible, publishes without note or comment and dis-

70 70 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST tributes without profit, usually below cost. For the blind, it supplies Scriptores in Braille and other raised-letter systems, Talking Bible records, and tape recordings. The current goal of the program, "God's Word for a New Age," is to increase total worldwide Scripture distribution to 150 million volumes per year (three times the total of recent years). Half of this (75 million volumes per year) is to be done by the American Bible Society. Long-range goals are: A Bible in every Christian home A Testament in every Christian's hand A Scriptore Portion for every reader Supplies of Scriptures for Christians to share During 1965 the American Bible Society- -rejoiced that some part of the Bible has been published in 1,250 languages; the full Bible in 237, a Testament in 297 more, a Gospel or other complete book in 716 more--but still counted over 1,000 more languages in which not one book of the Bible has yet been published-and continued to expand its service in Bible translation work throughout the world. -gave over 745,000 Scriptore volumes for distribution by Chaplains to our Armed Forces and Veterans' Hospitals, as a vital link between the home churches and men in service. -continued programs throughout Latin America for training laymen in Scripture distribution in their own communitiesand planned for similar work in other areas of the world. -distributed a record total of over 54 million Scripture volumes in more than 400 languages, in 149 countries-with more than half the total going to other countries-and continued in the task of greatly increasing its annual distribution to meet urgent worldwide needs. Southern Baptists Support the Work Because the Bible Society serves mission work-and Southern Baptist missionaries depend on the Society for Scriptores they need for their people-southern Baptists believe in the missionary importance of giving to the American Bible Society. In 1965 Southern Baptist churches gave $226,731 to the American Bible Society and ranked first among all denominations. Gifts from all churches in the U.S.A. totaled $1,333,058. The help of every Southern Baptist church is needed. Southern Baptist churches can continue to lead-if every church will give. Has your church given this year? Here are suggestions, based on what many churches are now giving: Every church can give at least these amounts each year: Smaller churches $10 to $60 Larger churches $60 to $300 Great city churches $300 to $600 or more

71 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 71 Please send gifts to your Baptist state office marked "for the American Bible Society." 50; Time arrived for the business session and the following re ports were given.

The cost of this project, including additional land for lagoon and engineering fees, will be approximately $125,000. Most of the system was in use during the annual assembly and the job is practically complete. Camp Hudgeos Early in the year a contract was awarded for the construction of a new dining hall at Camp Hudgens. The building, including furnishings and architect fees, cost approximately $75,000, and was dedicated July 9, 1966, during the Royal Ambassador Camp. Funds for this building were raised by pastors and laymen in Oklahoma County. Over $80,000 was pledged in a drive directed by Bob Banks, Royal Ambassador secretary, with R. C. Howard and James Gregory serving as co-chairmen. Chiidren's_Home A new laundry building was constructed at the Children's Home al a cost of $75,000. It was dedicated May 1. On the same date

72 72 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST ground was broken for a new cottage to be named in honor of Oatley Anderson of Chickasha, who left a substantial gift to the home. When the estate is settled there should be sufficient funds for construction of this cottage. Miami Baptist Hospital Miami Baptist Hospital has been in constant enlargement and modernization for several years. A new addition has been made this year at a cost of over $100,000. Enid General Hospital Plans for comprehensive enlargement and modernization of Enid Hospital are in the planning stages. Construction depends upon the success o"f a fund-raising drive considered by the citizens of Enid. Additional information is given in the report of the board. Baptist Memorial Hospital We are pleased to report that the expansion of Baptist Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City, is completed and all of the approximately 400 beds are in service.

Charles McKay, executive secretary-treasurer of Arizona Baptist Convention, brought the closing message of this session. His subject was: "Taking the World for Christ." Matthew 9:36-38 was his text. 62. Bob Evans, Mangum, brought this day's sessions to a close with prayer of thanks and dedication. Thursday Morning November 10, Vice-president R. C. Howard called the convention to order at9 a.m. 64. Troy Harp, Tulsa, led in the "Worship in Song" singing, "There Is Sunshine in My Soul." 65. Edgar E. Hatfield, Tulsa, led in prayer for the blessings of our Lord upon this day's activities. 66. J. W. Storer brought his second devotional message upon the subject: "The Teachings of Jesus... the Many Mansions" (John 14:1-7; 25-27). Parts of his message were: What of the future? Is all of life in this world? There are many mansions not made with hands. This is not speculative. Jesus is preparing the mansions. We 'shall serve him day and night. We shall know as we are known. We shall see Jesus and be with him forever. 67. J. A. Pennington brought the report on Brotherhood and Evangelism. Members of the department and staff workers were introduced. Brotherhood and Royal Ambassadors J. A. Pennington, Secretary Brotherhood work in a Baptist church is missionary education and missionary involvement of all men, young men, and boys. This concept and emphasis has been received with a great deal of enthusiasm. Brotherhood is the only unit of a church program which provides

76 76 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST missionary education for the men and boys. Unless Brotherhood units are organized and functioning this means the men and boys will miss this vital area of spiritual development and service. To implement the program of missionary education and involvement, a new organizational structure of Brotherhood has been adopted. Three units of Brotherhood work are now available. They are: "Baptist Men," 25 years of age and up; "Baptist Young Men," 18-24; and, "Royal Ambassadors," The term "Brotherhood" is used to refer to any and all of these units. The "Baptist Young Men" is a new unit of work. In addition to the change in the units, there is also a change in the officers. "Baptist Men" will now have five officers, namely, president, vice-president, secretary, mission study leader and mission action leader. The "Baptist Young Men" will have the same officers as "Baptist Men" plus one officer called an advisor. To implement the new organization an emphasis in Brotherhood work, a program of training has been planned. This started with specialists being trained in a Regional Brotherhood Institute at Mineral Wells, Texas. Four area training sessions were planned to train associational Brotherhood officers for Oklahoma. It is hoped that every association will plan a fun leadership course for church Brotherhood officers this fall or next spring. Baptist Men's Day is becoming more popular. The reports of churches observing Baptist Men's Day, the fourth Sunday in January, are glowing reports. One church got such a blessing from the day that they decided to have the observance twice a year instead of once. The Brotherhood Department made plans to participate in a laymen's crusade in Nevada, Oct. 3-9, This is an outstanding contribution to missions both in the state of Nevada and to the lives of Oklahoma men who participated. This year when the emphasis throughout the convention is on education, every church should examine itself and see if it is providing missionary education for its men and boys. If assistance is needed contact your associational Brotherhood director or your state Brotherhood department. Dates to Remember January 22, 1967 Baptist Men's Day September 15 and 16 Area Training Session September 22 and 23 Area Training Session October 6 and 7 Area Training Session October 13 and 14. Area Training Session November 13 and 14 State Brotherhood Convention, Oklahoma City Royal Ambassador Report According to preliminary reports, there has been a decline of 18 churches with RA work and 57 chapters, leaving a total of 528 churches with 1,087 chapters. This report indicates that the majority

77 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 77 of Oklahoma Baptist churches are not providing missionary education for their boys. Pastors and churches need to awake to the responsibil-. ity and possibilities of helping boys become dedicated to the cause of Christ around the world. With the Brotherhood's new purpose of missionary education, the relationship of RAs to the men's organization, now Baptist Men, has changed. The RA leader and committee are not a part of Baptist Men but are elected by and responsible to the church under the leadership of the Brotherhood director; recognizing, in the true sense, that missionary education is the church's responsibility and not the men's alone. To assist associations and churches, 20 men from Oklahoma participated in an institute in Mineral Wells, Texas, in 1966 in order to serve as training specialists. The state RA Congress hit a high attendance peak of 3,000 in The Brotherhood Commission, SBC, has announced its selection of Oklahoma City as the meeting place for the National RA Congress, Aug , Camp Hudgens Report A total of 793 boys and leaders attended Camp Hudgens during the seven-week season. There were 130 decisions, which included 30 professions of faith, 49 rededications, and 51 for church-related vocations. A new $68,000 dining hall was completed and used this summer. The dining hall provides feeding for 200, excellent kitchen and storage facilities, and cooks' quarters. It also serves as a worship_ and meeting place. Being winterized, the building can serve the year around. The completion of the dining hall was made possible through a fund-raising drive in Oklahoma County. Under the leadership of R. C. Howard Jr. and James Gregory, co-chairmen, $85,000 was raised. It is anticipated that five cabins and a new sewerage system can be built for 1967 from the fund drives in other counties and the balance of the Oklahoma County drive. Evangelism J. A. Pennington, Secretary Dr. Paul S. Rees quotes from Karl Marx, "Philosophers have only interpreted the world differently; the point is, however, to change it." Rees then makes this comment, "However unlike they are in fundamental affirmations, the Christian gospel and communism are at this point in agreement. But the agreement goes little further. Distinctively, the church proclaims the changed world as the consequence of changed men. Refective man produces new philosophies; it is only regenerate man who holds the clue to a society that is really new."

78 78 "ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Rees continues, "It is this conviction, grounded in the. Good News that, 'God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself,' that makes evangelism immensely more than a theory or a slogan. IT BRINGS IT INTO FOCUS AS A NECESSITY." Dr. John Havlik has well said, "No denomination has ever killed evangelism, but the lack of evangelism has killed denominations." This is certainly true of a church. A church that is not evangelistic will die of dry rol Christ'. Plan for His Churches Christ's program for every church is an evangelistic program. The churches which do not constantly seek to win men to a saving knowledge of the truth and enlist them in Christ's service have missed the mark of the divine purpose and requirement. The Importance of the Evangelistic Church The world can never be won to Christ by revivals only. Last year in Oklahoma 42.5 per cent of those won to Christ in our churches were won during revivals. This reveals the need of a perennial effort in evangelism. But it is in evangelistic churches that revivals are most easily held and have the most far-reaching results. It is in evangelistic churches that the ripest Christian character grows and the richest spiritual leadership develops and comes to usefnlness. In evangelistic churches the fellowship of God's people finds its ripest fruitage; the devil cannot grow dissension and discord in a sonl-winning church. The sonl-winning atmosphere is the best place to grow new Christians into maturity. It is in evangelistic churches that the young people hear most easily the call of God to service and most easily surrender to his will. The Pastor-Evangelist "No amount of organization or educational activity can substitute for the pastor in evangelism. He is not the 'key' to evangelistic success, he is the 'heart' of evangelism in the churches. The call of the hour is for the pastor-evangelist, a man of the flaming heart, who will be all things to all men if he may win SOme for his Lord. The true progress of the church of God and the success of every man's ministry lies in the ability of a church and its pastor to proclaim with eager lips and from a yearning heart an evangelistic message." Our Greatest Need Maybe the following statement from John Havlik describes our needs more than anything else. "We get away from God; we become backslidden and cold; our old methods begin to fail; we begin searching for new methods. All of the time what we really need to do and cannot see it, is to return to God and to apostolic simplicity. This has been the history of evangelism. There will be another awakening if Jesus Christ tarries and it will be a reawakening that will come not because of new methods but because we have re-discovered our sinfulness and returned to God and his gospel."

79 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 79 "New Testament evangelism does not depend on any given method, but it does depend on the appeal in a given message. A church that has the message and doesn't use it to bring lost people to Christ can hardly justify its existence, and it certainly cannot prophesy its continuance." Statewide Evangelistic Conference.This conference wiii meet Jan , 1967 in First Church, Norman. Out-ofstate program personnel will include: Gray Allison, associate in the.division of Evangelism of the Home Mission Board; Lloyd Householder, director, program of vocational guidance, Sunday School Board; Manual L. Scott, pastor, Calvary Church, Los Angeles, Calif.; Harper Shannon, pastor, First Church, Dothan, Ala.; Claude Rhea, Houston Baptist College, Houston, Texas, and Rubens Lopes; president of the Brazilian Baptist Convention. The National Baptists of Oklahoma are our invited guests for this conference. Plan Now for 1969 We have been chaiienged by the Brazilian Baptists to participate in the Crusade of the Americas. The Southern Baptist Convention and the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma have accepted this challenge. What wiii you and your church do about it? Dr. Rubens Lopes in presenting the challenge made this statement, "Imagine the Baptists of the three Americas uniting in a simultaneous evangelistic campaign, summing together all of their material and human resources, forming a long battle line that wonld begin in Alaska and Canada and extend through Chile and Argentina to the very tip of South America. "All of us saying to the world with one voice! 'Christ is the only hope!' This will be, without doubt, the greatest event of all time in the history of Christendom." The Oklahoma dates for this simultaneous crusade are March or April 6-20, All of our churches are urged to participate at the same time and for the full time.

Gene Bartlett brought the report of the Department of Church Music and motion carried for its adoptio_ Church Music Gene Bartlett, Secretary Festivals, workshops, associational clinics, Falls Creek, and various state conventions-in all these this year the music has been far beyond anything we had ever hoped for. However, the greatest satisfaction comes in knowing that music is not just a performance but a witness for our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. The Singing Churchmen made a most Significant trip to the Southern Baptist Convention meeting in Detroit. There are several other groups similar to ours but none quite so dedicated in presenting the gospel in song so powerfully. The Baptist Sunday School Board continues to amaze us with the marvelous materials that they produce to help strengthen the music program in the local church. For instance, there is a new series of "How To" pamphlets that should be studied by every pastor, music director, and lay director in the field of church music. The titles are: "How to Begin a Music Ministry," "How to Begin a Beginner Music Activity," "How to Begin a Primary Choir," "How to Begin,.

81 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 81 a Junior Choir," "How to Begin an Intermediate Choir," "How to Begin a Young People's Choir," "How to Begin an Adult Choir." October 1, 1966, also marked the advent of these Dew music magazines: Music for Primaries, Children's Music Leader and Youth Musician. This means that we have music quarterlies for adults through Primaries. "Claude Rhea's Favorite Gospel Solos," "Songs of Salvation No.3," "With Joyful Praise," David H. Williams, "Hast Thou Not Heard?," David H. Williams, "Of Time and Eternity" by Mary E. Caldwell, are but a few of the many usable pieces of material that are available. Over 30,000 people of all ages meet weekly in our Oklahoma Baptist churches to produce music that glorifies the name of the Lord and draws people into a closer walk with him. Your state music department desires that every Oklahoma Baptist will "admonish one another in the singing of psalms, hymns and spiritual songs singing with grace in their hearts to the Lord." (1) Gene Bartlett led in singing "I Will Sing of My Redeemer." (2) Clayton Tanner, Woodward, gave a review of a music clinic in Northwestern Association. (3) Delmar Rogers, Arnett, testified to the result of the clinic in the Arnett Church. 69. Raymond Bryan Brown, Dean of Southwestern Seminary, spoke in the interest of all of our seminaries. 70. The Oklahoma Baptist University hour arrived and the procedure was as follows: (1) Warren Hultgren, chairman of OBU Board of Trustees, introduced Richard T. Hopper, who presented David Hopper with a gavel to be used by him while serving as president of the student body at OBU. (2) James D. Woodward, of the Department of Music at OBU, led the Bisonettes in a number of delightful and inspiring musical selections. (3) Warren M. Angell, for 30 years director of the music program in OBU, directed the Bison Glee Club in a musical concert. (4) Warren Hultgren, chairman of the Board of Trustees, introduced the newly elected and recently installed tenth president of OBU, Grady C. Cothen. (5) President Grady C. Cothen addressed the convention on the subject: "The Challenge of Christian Education at OBU." Parts of his message were: OBU is different by design. Four purposes in OBU program: 1. First-class education. 2. Defined and limited education. 3. Teacher training. 4. Religious vocational place in life. (6) H. H. Hobbs called attention to Mrs. Cothen.

82 82 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST 71. H. H. Hobbs made motion that President Cothen be requested to submit his message in manuscript form to be published c in the Baptist Messenger and for distribution to the convention. Motion carried. 72. President Cothen led in the closing prayer. Oklahoma Baptist University Grady C. Cothen, President A new administrative era for Oklahoma Baptist University began on July 1, 1966 with the election by the Board of Trustees of Dr. Grady' Coulter Cothen as tenth president of the university. Administration of the university during the year following the resignation of Dr. James R. Scales was directed by interim president, Dr. Evans T. Moseley. Enrolment in the university reached 1,536 for the fall semester and 1,346 during the spring semester of with a total of 174 persons enrolled for extension instruction in religion during the year at centers in Altus, Ardmore, Guymon, McAlester, Oklahoma City and Ponca City. The student body came from 36 states and 17 areas outside the continental United States; 67 Oklahoma counties were represented with largest enrolments from Pottawatomie, Oklahoma and Tulsa counties; every Baptist association in the state had students attending the university. Early registration for the academic year is substantially higher than in previous years, and student housing is at full capacity; both of these factors indicate another year of somewhat increased enrolment. Requests for campus housing for the first semester, exceeded those of previous years. The women's dormitories were filled to capacity (474) and 20 additional women students were placed in university-supervised or university-approved housing. Brotherhood Dormitory had 373 residents at the beginning of the first semester, the largest number of men this facility has ever accommodated. During the.fiscal year which ended May 31, 1966, the university showed a net increase in assets of $221,000, bringing the total (net of reserves) to $11,500,000. During the year the bonded indebtedness of the university was reduced by $70,000 to a new balance of $2,055,000. The current fund reserve for operations stands at $226,000, an increase in excess of $43,000. Current fund income received during fiscal 1966 was in excess of $1,900,000, with tuition and fees amounting to $753,000 of this total. Endowment earnings during the same period were $121,000, and gifts and contributions to the university amounted to $388,000, which includes $280,000 for operations from the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma. In addition to that for current operations. the Baptist General Convention allocated $94,500 for building fund and $52,750 for the university's endowment fund. The endowment fund, held by the Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma, showed an increase of $158,000 during fiscal Approxi-

83 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 83 mately $117,000 in university scholarships was granted to students, and almost $90,000 in outside scholarships from churches, corporations, and individuals was issued to students during the fiscal year. A total of 1,003 scholarships were given to OBU students during the first semester, Of these 248 were given to ministerial students, missions volunteers and ministers' wives and children. Churches and associations afforded financial assistance to 124 students through the church scholarship program. The OBU faculty for consists of 119 members, 31 of whom are part-time instructors, 81 are full-time in instruction Of administration, and seven are on leave of absence (two of these are serving universities abroad and four are completing requirements for advanced degrees).

84 84 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST The Warren M. Angell College of Fine Arts offers these degrees: Bachelor of Music in vocal music, church music, instrumental music, piano pedagogy, Bachelor of l\1usic Education in vocal music, instrumental music, combined vocal and instrumental music. The College of Fine Arts in the year has shown an increasing growth along the lines of academic development, promotion of OBU in the state and across the country, and a high level of individual student achievement. This is the culmination of years of encouragement of each faculty member to develop himself as an individual and as a teacher, and to apply the same principles in his dealings with students. Outstanding productions and programs of the College of Fine Arts in the academic year included the presentation of "The Music Man"; the appearance of an OBU male quartet in Campus '66, a Bell Telephone television production; the Modern Music Festival, featuring several well-known musicians and concluded with the performance of "Vision of Isaiah"; a band workshop; tours of the Bison Chorale, the Bison Glee Club and the Bisonettes. This year marks the beginning of the Department of Church Music within the College of Fine Arts. Two-thirds of the classes at OBU are for fewer than 20 people. Seven large lecture classes meet in the specially equipped Yarborough Auditorium, which has a seating capacity of 400. There are 58 campus organizations and activities at OBU, providing a continuous flow of social activity in the atmosphere of a Christian school. Through the years, OBU's Department of Religion has played a key role in preparing young men and women for responsible positions of leadership in the Southern Baptist Convention. OBU has been the starting point for a great number of pastors, ministers of education and ministers of music. OBU is a world conscious university, with 113 graduates currently serving as foreign missionaries. In the school year 180 students were preparing for the gospel ministry. Through the Ministerial Alliance they reported preaching 3,450 sermons, traveling 285,305 miles, speaking with the unconverted 1,956 times. They wituessed 750 conversions and 388 additions to the churches. OBU produced two national sports champions during the school year. The basketball team, coached by Bob Bass, became the first Oklahoma NAIA school to win the national basketball championship; and Pat McMahon, freshman from Ireland, won the NAIA national cross-country championship. In June, 1966, OBU served as host school for the NAIA national championship golf tournament. OBU thus became the first college to conduct two national golf tournaments for the NAIA.

85 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 85 Thursday Afternoon November 10, President Richard T. Hopper called the convention to order at 1 :30 p.m. for the final session of the 1966 convention. 74. Truman Gregston, Sand Springs, led in the "Worship in Song." Songs used were: "At Calvary" and "The Banner of the Cross." 75. Leon Sewell, Weatherford, led in prayer. 76. J. W. Storer brought his final devotional message on the subject: "The Teachings of Jesus... the Comforter." 77. The report on Public Relations, Radio and Television was presented by Joe L. Ingram and Floyd Craig, and motion carried for its adoption. Public Relations Joe L. Ingram, Secretary Telling the story of what Baptists are doing in Oklahoma means that the Public Relations Department bas the unique privilege of existing to serve other departments, agencies and institutions. Continuous activities of the department include providing newspapers, radio stations, television stations and wire services with comprehensive and objective information concerning all major convention meetings and speaking engagements of convention personnel. Routine news releases concerning convention activities have been supplemented by a number of interpretative feature stories focusing in greater depth on various facets of work related to the convention. These stories have appeared in state metropolitan dailies and various denominational periodicals. Upon request the department also acts in an advisory capacity, assisting individual churches and convention departments and agencies with the production of posters, brochures, program folders, direct mail pieces, book jackets and layout design, and, occasionally, the planning of a total public relations program. "Feel with Your Heart," a new brochure produced by the PR department this year, was designed to provide concise information on the total convention program. The booklet won an award of excellence (first place) in the cover design category of the third annual exhibition of the Oklaboma City Art Directors Club. The PR department publishes Falls Creek News at the statewide summer assembly. A special edition spotlighting Sam W. Scantlan's retirement as state missions secretary was preprinted and distributed each week during the encampment. "Sounds of Falls Creek," a 28-minute program taped at the state encampment this year, was broadcast daily during selected weeks over

86 86 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST radio stations KGLC, Miami; KBEK, Elk City; KSEO, Duraot, and KNED, McAlester. The program was broadcast one day a week during assembly over KVSO, Ardmore, and KOMA, Oklahoma City, carried two programs. "Oklahoma Newsbreak," a year-round, weekly five-minute radio program of local and international religious news, is produced by the PR department aod is now in its 176th week of broadcasting over 13 Oklahoma stations. Miss Joan Harvison, assistant director of communications, produces "Newsbreak." The Southern Baptist Radio and Television Commission, Fort Worth, Texas, narrates, records and mails the newscast, which is carried as a public service. Oklahoma Baptists are greatly indebted to the Radio aod TV Commission for the professional and technical assistance which they furnish without charge, not only in the production of "Newsbreak," but also in the planning of other audio and video projects. Miss Harvison also writes news releases, edits brochures, newsletters, and direct mail, and assists Floyd Craig in serving as the convention's press agent at various statewide Baptist meetings. In addition, she serves as the Oklahoma City area's correspondent for Religious News Service, New York City. In addition to his convention responsibilities, Craig served as chief photographer aod director of all photographic coverage for the World Congress on Evangelism, which met in Berlin, Germany, Oct. 26 to Nov. 4. The PR department also sponsors annually a public relations conference. The 1967 conference is scheduled for May 15 in Oklahoma City. The public relations committee is composed of N. N. Antonson, M. J. Lee, John Brill, John Meador, K. Kip Owen, Odell Carpenter, Wallace Roark aod Spec Saoders. 78. R. C. Miller presented the report of the Annuity Program and motion carried for its adoption. Annuity Board The steady rise in cost of living has caused a pressing need for broader benefits for retirement, disability and death, so much so, the Annuity Board has created a new program to improve them. The new program will be called the Southern Baptist Protection Program. It will be offered once all state conventions have approved it. The proposed starting date is July, The new program will offer substantial increases in retirement, disability aod death benefits at no extra cost. Paradoxically, the same factor which created the need for greater benefits (growth of the economy) has made it possible for the improved coverage without increasing the cost.

87 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 87 Two current benefits will be greatly improved. Disability benefits, previously set at a $900 a year maximum, will be as much as the amount a person would have received if he retired at age 65. Widow benefits will be the full 40 per cent of the amount a person would have received if he had lived to retire at age 65. This maximum begins with the initial year of participation. Previously, widow benefits have been on a step-up formula taking six years to reach the 40 per cent maximum. Also, there will be no increase in widow dues after age 60 as was required in the basic plan. Three new benefits will be offered for the first time. These benefits will provide income for minor dependent children, plus a college and educational fund, and income for dependent parents. The new Southern Baptist Protection Program will use only one certificate, although provision may cover benefits in the basic plan and two supplemental plans. Larger retirement benefits will be possible through the supplemental part. In addition to the substantial increases in benefits, the new program also will simplify participation. A member will hold only one certificate for all his retirement, widow and disability benefits. Neither will he have to receive a new certificate when he transfers from one state to another as is now required. Once the state conventions have approved the new program, the individual church will be encouraged to put a minimum of 10 per cent of the minister's total salary into the program for protection for both the member and his family and the church. Dues on the initial $4,000 will be placed in the basic part of the program. Dues on salary above the $4,000 will be placed in one or both supplemental plans as selected by the member. New certificates will be issued to all members currently in the Southern Baptist Protection Plan. New certificates or endorsements will be issued to all members of the Ministers Retirement Plan, Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan and Ministers Security Plan.

Johnie Stuckey brought the report of the Chris.,tian Life Committee, and motion carried for its adoption. (1) Ross McLennan, of the SANE organization spoke to the report. (2) Johnie Stuckey also discussed the report. Christian Life Committee By the determination of Jesus Christ himself, Christians are to be the "salt of the earth," the "light of the world" and the "leaven that leaveneth the whole lump" of human society. Certainly we as Baptists do not need to be reminded that our Lord commanded, "Let your light so shine before men that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." The Christian Life Commission of our Southern Baptist Convention and the Christian Life Committee of our State Convention have been charged with the responsibility of challenging and assisting our churches and their members in implementing this facet of the Great Commission. We have to keep reminding ourselves that men judge Christ by Christians; and they judge the Kingdom of God by churches. We live in an age that is increasingly calling upon our churches as well as upon individual Christians to define our place in a secular world. It is a sad commentary on contemporary Christianity that too many have responded with a definition that is only tenuously linked with the New Testament revelation. The ministry of our churches cannot be defined solely or even primarily in terms of social action, human justice and ethical propositions. But if others have erred at this point, it may be that we as Southern Baptists have erred at the point of declining to define. As a result we too often drift aimlessly from Sunday to Sunday, rather than following the Holy Spirit in a

89 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 89 ministry of total Christianity to a world "from which the gods have fled," and which "has become man's task and man's responsibility' (Harvey Cox in The Secular City)... We should define our ministry in terms of total reconciliation. This most obviously means that a man must first be reconciled to God. Therefore, even in this kind of world, we must continue to preach the cross and continue to sing, "There is Power in the Blood" because God has clearly taught that "neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved." Evangelism in its narrower connotations must continue to be the spearhead of our ministry. We must continue to plead "as ambassadors for Christ" that men shall be "reconciled to God." Having done this first (or rather, while continually doing it), we must then insist upon the importance of the company of the reconciled. The place of the Christian in the local church, and the importance of involvement in the ministry of the local church by the Christian will be a continuing emphasis for us. This is an integral part of the definition of our total ministry. The currently popular revolt against "institutional Christianity" must not be allowed to gain a foothold in our Baptist fellowship. We will keep on insisting that there can be no Christianity without the local church, and there can be no widely and fully effective local church ministry without the denominational structure. We must be certain as Baptists that we go on to add the third dimension to our definition of the local church and its purpose in today's world. It is to leaven and influence society. Gabriel Vahanian's book, The Death of God, claims that God has died because Christianity is no longer "hegemonous." It accommodates itself to its culture. It no longer determines cultural and political patterns. Harvey Cox says that the "gods of traditional religions live on as private fetishes or the patrons of congenial groups, but they play no role whatever in the public life of the secular metropolis." These are crucial indictments that we must face with honesty. Dare any of us claim that Christians seriously affect the ethics of the entertainment world? Is. college campus and dormitory life patterned after the life of Christ? Do the newsstands and the publishing business reflect the moral standards of the church? Has Caesar ever been so totally separated from Christ? It seems obvious that Christians must move more and more intothe social, cultural and political spheres of life as Christians. It also seems obvious that our churches must begin to work more and more in these areas as churches. The whole area of Christian morality and Christian concern is expanding at a phenomenal rate. The Christian Life Commission is presently concerning itself with such traditional matters as morality, the home, daily work, alcohol and the race issue. In addition it is attempting to deal intelligently with the larger area of social justice, war and peace, homosexuajity, cheating. gambling, the

90 90 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST effects of automation, the Christian in politics, narcotics, extremism, and many, many other matters. Whatever affects the Christian's life is the concern of the Commission. Dr. Foy Valentine stands at the hehn of the work of our Southern Baptist Convention Christian Life Commission. He is ably prepared for this job. He is also totally committed to it and to its importance. It is inescapable that a man in his position will become involved in controversy and will alienate some people from bim and the program he represents. The commission which he heads, and its counterpart in our state, need and deserve the support of Southern Baptists. We held our mst State Christian Life conference tbis past March 14. It was highly successful. In the one -day allotted, the major areas of work by the commission were covered. A similar conference is planned for It is hoped that our churches will seriously consider a greater involvement' in the communities which they serve. The booklet, Guide for Church Advance, has been prepared by our convention to give assistance in this area as weu as other areas of our total ministry. Give careful study to Area E in this booklet and begin to implement some of the suggestions contained there. Johnie Stuckey, chairman, T. T. Crabtree, Joe Ray Land, Carlos Knight, Leon Sewell, Frank Loveless, Melvin Moody, Robert Y. Audd, J. M. Wood 80. H. Tom \Viles, recently returned from Jerusa]em, Jordan, spoke concerning his visit to Jerusalem and other mission fields. 81. J. T. Roberts brought the report of Missions and Falls Creek, and motion carried to adopt the report. Department of Missions Sam W. Scantlan, Secretary "But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me, both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth" (Acts 1 :8). Our commission is to go, beginning at home, to all people regardless of color or creed. Two associates share the responsibility with the secretary of the department. J. T. Roberts directs the work with National Baptists and Laddie R. Adams directs the work with Language groups.. Sam W. Scantlan will retire as secretary of the Department of Missions after 25 years with the convention. He closes _ his work on Dec. 31, 1966, and will move to Falls Creek Assembly grounds to become supervisor of buildings and grounds on a retired status. J. T. Roberts has been elected by the Board of Directors to succeed Scantlan as secretary of the Department of Missions. For the last seven years Roberts has been associate in the department, in charge of the work with National Baptists.

91 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 91 Miss Faye EstIack, who has been secretary to Scantlan for more than 21 years in the Department of Missions, has resigned. This lady has made a wonderful contribution. Laddie R. Adams was selected to succeed Bailey O. Sewell as associate in the Department of Missions. He will be in charge of Language Missions. He came to the department Aug. 15, 1966, from Calvary Church, Enid, and has already proven himself a diligent worker in the mission fields. Bailey O. Sewell, born November 13, 1905, died of a sudden heart attack at his home in Oklahoma City June 4, Bailey Sewell had served faithfully as associate in the Department of h.1issions in charge of Language Mission work for seven years and had served with the Home Mission Board as superintendent of Indian work in Oklahoma since May 1, His loss was felt greatly by those who worked closely with him. "Well done, thou good and faithful servant." Associational Missions The Baptist associations have a program of practical objectivesa 12-month task that seeks to enlist the churches to co-operate in a worldwide missionary endeavor, set forth by our Lord in Matthew 28: Oklahoma Baptists have 37 associations in Oklahoma and each has a full corps of officers and a superintendent of missions. The state convention supplements the salaries of the superintendents of missions in order that the associations may have extra funds with which church assistance may be given where needed. These men promote every department of work in the association, the state and the Southern Baptist Convention. Leroy Crawford, superintendent of missions in Muskogee Association, passed away March 9, One of Our superintendents of missions, M. R. Dareing of Northeastern Association, retired April 1. Russell Moudy is the new superintendent of missions in Northeastern Association, Richard N. Mc Clure in Muskogee Association and Cloyce P. Holland in Tillman Association. Language Missions The year 1966 saw continued progress in many areas of Language Missions. Seventeen churches received a total of $18,162 in appropriations to assist them in building or remodeling of their facilities. The one major accomplishment was the purchase of a new building to house the Cedardale Indian Mission at Carnegie and James Swain and wife are leading in this new work with its expanded facilities and visio.

92 92 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST David Flick has assumed the work at Seiling and is doing an -excellent job. Jessie Willsie has been called to the Canton Indian Mission and is working hard to establish even more progressive results here. Indian Falls Creek this year had a total registration of 1,410 which came near to fulfilling the theme of "2, YEARS." Tom Muskrat was elected director of Fails Creek Indian Assembly for the coming year. Plans are already under way by a committee that was appointed to direct in the erection of a building at Falls Creek in memory of Brother Sewell. This will be known as the Indian Falls Creek Assembly Bailey Sewell Memorial building. OUf work with the deaf is continuing to show marked progress under the able leadership of Leslie Gunn. We have a part, for the first time, through Ollf Language Missions, of assisting the fine pastor of First Church, Sulphur in ministering to the deaf students reached by this church. Victor Morlan has indicated that they reach approximately 110 students with the gospel each week in their special services held for them in First Church. Our Spanish work is continuing to progress and expand on an ever widening scale. The fourth Spanish retreat was held again this year at Southwest Assembly grounds. For the first time this was expanded to five days in length. Our Spanish speaking people have able leadership under seasoned veterans like Ramon Medrano at Hollis and young men like Abel Becerra at Frederick. Work with National Baptists Our program of work with National Baptists is one of co-operation with them in the field of missions, including evangelism, Christian education and enlistment. This work is projected in co-operation with National and Southern Baptist churches, district associations, state conventions and National conventions throughout the nation. The purpose of the program is to strengthen National Baptist churches as they seek to win the lost, develop Christian leaders, enlist mission volunteers and share with Southern Baptists in world missions here and abroad. Through this program of work in Oklahoma we are seeking to build a spirit of co-operation and good will between National and Southern Baptists in all areas of church and denominational life. The Oklahoma Ivlissionary Baptist State Convention has made some very significant accomplishments during the last year under the leadership of F. D. Moon, executive secretary-treasurer, and J. P. Patterson, president. (1) The number of churches giving through their Cooperative Program has increased as well as the total amount given during its fourth year. (2) The fourth annual youth assembly at Falls Creek registered 191 with 102 decisions. (3) The School of Religion, which was adjacent to Langston University, was discontinued and a BSU, with a chair of Bible, was started with the 1964 term. The BSU co-operates with our state program under the direction of Clyde Clayton. The original School of

93 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 93 Religion building burned in September, The BSU has been carrying on its program on the campus. On Sept. 23, 1966 ground was broken for the erection of a BSU building. (4) The convention is promoting and financing a scholarship program for their young people to attend OBU. (5) There are two educational centers in the state, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. (6) A mission center (Good Will Center) was started in Tulsa June I of this year. (7) In co-operation with the Home Mission Board and the WMU of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, the Oklahoma Missionary Baptist State Convention employed an executive secretary for their women's work. She began her work May 1, The personnel of this phase of our state mission program is: State Director J. T. Roberts Executive Secretary-Treasurer F. D. Moon Center Director, Oklahoma City W. T. Watts Center Director. Tulsa Tulsa Mission Center Director of Weekday Program Mrs. Valadean Gardner BSU Director Lundy Savage WMU Executive Secretary. Mrs. Johnnie Pearl Coffey Jewish Work "Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for Israel is, that they might be saved" (Romans 10:1). Work among our Jewish friends is a great challenge. It is one of the most needed fields of endeavor and brings great rewards to those who win them to Christ. There are Jewish friends in nearly every community and they need to know our Christ. Most of these people live in our larger cities, and our churches in those areas are working among them. The challenge is to do more in the days ahead. There are 6,400 Jews in Oklahoma. Nearly 4,800 of these live in four cities: Ardmore, Muskogee, Tulsa and Oklahoma City. A special effort to win the Jew is made during April of each year as we observe Jewish Fellowship Week. Every church is urged to put April 10-16, 1967, on its calendar and make a special effort to win these friends. Of course, the churches must be concerned about these people at all times. Winning Jews to Christ is not an easy task, therefore, it is necessary for church members to live for Christ before them and continually be on the alert to point them to Jesus. Schools of Missions "And when they were come, and had gathered the church together, they rehearsed all that God had done with them, and how he had opened the door of faith unto the Gentiles" (Acts 14:27). Schools of Missions is a most interesting and helpful program any association can have. In such a campaign each church will have a week of intensive study about the mission fields of Southern -Bap-

94 94 ANNUAL OF TIlE BAPTIST tists and hear a different missionary speak each night about his field of work. Schools of Missions were held in three associations with' 53 churches participating and 52 missionaries speaking. They reported one Conversion during the schools and 66 volunteers for special service. Three other associations will have schools of missions this fall and others are planned for the next two or three years. Summer Seminar for Preachers "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth" (II Tim. 2:15). The Summer Seminar for Preachers is a one-week, intensive program of study held at Oklahoma Baptist University each year. This program has proved popular with everyone who attends. The teachers for 1966 were: Albert McClellan, Robert L. CargiJ Hale Dixon and James R. Scrutchins. Mrs. Hale Dixon and Mrs. H. H. Hobbs led in the seminar for pastor's wives. The enrolment for the seminar was 85. Officers elected for next year were: George Dannehl, president; Morris Curry, vice-president; Sunny B. Stewart, secretary-treasurer; Mrs. H. J. Jones, assistant secretary-treasurer; Kenneth Barnett, song leader; John Davis, assistant song leader; Mrs. Andrew Bolton, pianist; Mrs. B. J. Ashworth, assistant pianist. The 1967 session will be June 26-July 1. We appreciate the interest Oklahoma Baptist University shows in the Summer Seminar for Preachers. Oklahoma Baptist University and the Department of Missions co-operate in making the seminar a successful venture. Summer Student Mission Program u Son, go work today in my vineyard" (Matt. 21:28). The Home Mission Board employs coiiege and seminary students for mission work for 10 weeks each summer and some of these are assigned to work with our missionaries in Vacation Bible Schools, revivals, study courses, surveys, youth camps, etc. This year there were 15 of these students who served in Oklahoma. The following list gives the names of the students, their homes and where they worked: Student Home Town Place of Service Haddie Askew McWilliams, Ala.

One association has a program in their calendar of activities for churches to take turns in conducting jail services at th seat. county _ Some churches over the state conduct s:uch services regularly and we highly recommend that all churches check on the possibilities of preaching to those who are in jail. Rural Church Development Program Acts 16:5, "And so were the churches established in the faith, and increased in number daily." The Rural Church Development Program is a ministry of our Baptist state convention, in co-operation with the Home Mission Board, through the Department of Missions, and is designed to promote the total church program. The. ministry stresses development toward a better church. a better community and a better world. It also includes recognition of out-. standing churches by the state and then by the Home Mission Board. At the heart of the ministry is a concise guidebook which leads each participating church through four phases: (1) a survey of the community, (2) an inventory of the ministry of the church, (3) the adopting of immediate and long-range projects in the areas of a better church, community and world, and (4) the preparation of a record of the church's progress. Oak Valley Church, Central Association. received the certificate of award in this program for the year Aug. 30, 1964 to Sept. 1, H. L. Lofgren was pastor during this interim.

99 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 99 Committee on Resolutions 1. Since the crime rate in America is increasing six times faster than the population, and realizing that life and property are increasingly endangered by the mounting wave of lawlessness, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED That we encourage our people to seek ways to build respect for law and order and for those who enforce the law; and That we pray for those in positions of authority; and That we urge our lawmakers, courts and law enforcement officers to do all within their power to apprehend, convict and punish those who break the laws and disregard the rights and property of others. 2. Whereas it is our earnest desire that all men might have equal opportunity and non-discriminatory treatment, regardless of race, but Inasmuch as there are those who are attempting to inflame racial hatred and divisions, and create strife and violence, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That we urge Christians of all races to seek for peaceful methods to secure opportunities for equality and to apply Christian principles in their personal relations with those of other races. 3. Whereas there is constant need for vigilance against the destructive and morally deteriorating influences of alcoholic beverages, legalized gambling, pornographic literature and illicit use of narcotics, and Whereas there are insidious, but powerful, forces that work daily to change, evade or break the law in order to promote this traffic for personal greed; and Whereas the organization known as Sooner A1cohol-N arcotics Education, Incorporated continues to provide effective leadership in fighting these evil forces, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED That the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma reaffirm its position of supporting this organization; and That we commend SANE and its efficient secretary, Ross J. Mc Lennan, in their leadership in the battle against these morally corrupting influences in our state; and That we urge our churches to lend spiritual and financial support to this organization and its educational program of combatting these social evils. 4. Inasmuch as Southern Baptist missionaries Herbert Caudill and David Fite, and more than 30 Cuban pastors, have been imprisoned by the Cuban government since April, 1965, and reports indicate a severe health problem, especially for Caudill; and Whereas prayer has, in the past, opened prison doors,

Potter The Convention's Board of Directors is the Governing Board for these hospitals and Golden Age Homes. Since it is impractical for this board to meet regularly in each institution, local Baptists are' elected to serve as the Governing Board's Committees. The board is represented by one or more of its members on each committee. T. B. Lackey and William G. Kersh are ex-officio members. Guy James Oklahoma Baptists lost one of their most active, dedicated and able laymen in the death of Guy James, Sept. 8. In addition to being a leader in Oklahoma City and First Church, he was also a member of the Convention's Board of Directors, the Foundation Board and the Baptist Laymen's Corporation. He had served on the OBU Board of Trustees and was always ready to assist Oklahoma Baptists any where and in any way he could. Falls Creek Sewer System The board voted to authorize the Convention Building Committee to proceed immediately with the construction of a modem sewer sys-

103 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 103 tern at Falls Creek Assembly. Cost of the project was estimated at $125,000, including additional land for lagoon and engineering fees. Funds for the project are to come from an annual increase of $10,000 from Cooperative Program and an increase in registration of full-time campers from $3.75 to $5.00. The system has been installed and assembly property greatly improved. Camp Hudgens. The board authorized the Camp Hudgens Committee and the Convention Building Committee to proceed with the construction of a dining hall at Camp Hudgens, at a cost of approximately $75,000 including furnishings and equipment. Pastors and laymen in Oklahoma County raised in cash and pledges over $80,000 for this project. The building was completed and dedicated during the Royal Ambassador camp, July 9. Enid General Hospital The board adopted the following recommendations presented by the Hospitals and Golden Age Homes Committee and the Governing Board's Committee of Enid General Hospital: 1. That the citizens of Enid and Northwest Oklahoma be encouraged to launch a drive to raise funds for the enlargement and modernization of Enid General Hospital. 2. That the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma assmne responsibility for providing $1 for each $2 raised in the campaign, with a maximum of $500,000 from the convention.. 3. That the convention's obligation be provided in the f)]jowing ways: (1) Use available hospital funds- $ 83, Balance from closing of Mangnm Hospital 14, Enid Hospital Emergency Funds 15, (Approximate) Current capital needs approprition of Cooperative Prngram budget $112, (2) Use the $32,000 (approximate) balance from Muskogee leasepurchase agreement as received. (3) In addition to the above amounts, the $20,000 contingent capital needs appropriation of Cooperative Program budget be applied each year toward the convention's obligation until $250,000. or onehalf of the convention's part is raised. (4) Authorization be given to the hospital to borrow the balance of the convention's obligation, tbis to be repaid from hospital receipts and other anticipated gifts. Chaplain at Talihina Upon the recommendation of the Hospitals and Golden Age Homes Committee, uthorization was given to secure a chaplain for the state and federal Tuberculosis Sanatoriums at Talihina. This work has been carried on for a number of years by churches and associa tions in the area and by missionaries working with the Home and

104 104 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST State Mission boards. Bill Smith served as chaplain for a number of years, Spurgeon Richardson served as interim chaplain, and Reverend and Mrs. Roe Beard, missionaries of the state and Home Mission Board served until recently. August I, M. Dewey Gentry of Clayton began as chaplain on a retired basis. The hospitals office and Department of Missions share in providing housing and expenses. A local committee of which Robert Haskins, pastor of First Church, Talihina, is chairman supervises this work. Sam W. Scantlan Retires In the May 12 meeting of the board, Sam W. Scantlan announced his desire to retire as secretary of the Department of Missions and business manager of FalIs Creek Assembly effective Dec. 31, The board invited Scantlan to continue serving our convention on a retired basis as supervisor of buildings and grounds at FalIs Creek. He and Mrs. Scantlan have agreed to move to the assembly grounds early John W. Raley, president emeritus, Oklahoma Baptist University, and long-time friend and co-worker, prepared for the board a tribute to Dr. and Mrs. Scantlan which the board proudly presents to the convention in annual session: Resolution in Honor of Samuel William Scantlan Whereas, Samuel William Scantlan, Secretary of the Department of Missions of the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, has announced his retirement from that position effective Dec. 31, 1966, Now, therefore be it resolved that the Board of Directors recommend that the convention assembled in annual session in Tulsa, Nov. 8, 1966, take official recognition of his retirement and pay tribute to Dr. Scantlan and his family for his long tenure. of service to the Baptists of Oklahoma. Samuel William Scantlan, son of the Ozark hills of Missouri, truck driver in the oil fields of Oklahoma, academy and college ministerial student in Oklahoma Baptist University from September 1930 to June 1936, earning the Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in Bible and a minor in science, later honored with the Doctor of Divinity degree by his Alma Mater in 1957 in recognition of distingnished service; a minister with pastoral experience ranging from small parttime rural churches to a commanding city pulpit, denominational servant performing with equal dedication menial tasks at Falls Creek Assembly and directing the great field missionary activities throughout the state of Oklahoma, a civic leader exerting influence and providing inspiration for the battle against the liquor interests, and withal a poet, historian and author-such a man is Sam Scantlan, whose life is written in bold letters across the pages of the history of Oklahoma Baptists. The Board of Directors takes note of the long column of statistics adding up the hours, days and years of work which Scantlan has invested in Oklahoma Baptist life, but feels that the man stands far above the sum total of his activities, and on this occasion prefers to

105 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 105 silhouette him and his family as Ollf representatives achieving goals in church and family life worthy of the highest acclaim. Therefore, we salute you Dr. Scantlan and your lovely wife Naomi among those; who have demonstrated what Christian leaders should do and be; who have followed biblical injunctions in growing a truly Christian family and thereby enriching mankind for the future; who have bound to yourselves friends in Christ with bonds stronger than steel because you gave your friendship fully and freely; and who now have earned the right to the quiet enjoyment of the rewards of _your Christian discipleship as you enter a new phase of dedicated ministry. Oklahoma Baptists are richer today because a son of the Ozark hills of Missouri invested his life in the red soil of this state. It is then an honor to the Baptist people whom he has served so faithfully to express in this formal statement through the convention a resolution of appreciation to Samuel William Scantlan with respect to his forthcoming retirement Dec. 31, We salute you-preacher, admin istrator, friend. J. T. Roberts Following the announcement of ScantIan's intention to retire at the end of 1966 and the death of Bailey Sewell, secretary of language ministries, upon the recommendation of the Missions-Falls Creek Committee the board unanimously elected J. T. Roberts as secretary of the Department of Missions and business manager of Falls Creek effective Jan. 1, J. T. Roberts was born April 16, 1916, in Howe, Okla. He was graduated from Monroe High School in 1935, received the A. B. degree from Northeastern State College, Tahlequah in 1940, the M.R.E. degree from Southwestern Seminary in 1951 and was awarded an honorary Doctor of Divinity degree from Langston School of Religion, May 18, He made a profession of faith in Christ and was baptized into the Spring Hill Church, August, 1928, was licensed to preach by Dawson Church, Tulsa, 1943, and was ordained by Travis Avenue Church, Fort Worth, Texas, Roberts taught school in LeFlore County from He was pastor of Monroe Church in LeFlore County during one year of seminary work, First Church, Roff, ; Dickson Church, Oklahoma City, ; First Church, Anadarko, , and First Southern Church, Del City, 1956 to Feb. 1, j960. He has served as an associate in the Department of Missions, Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma since Feb. 1, Children's Home Farm Upon the recommendation of the Child Care Committee and a special committee of Baptist laymen in the Oklahoma City area, the board voted to sell the farm owned by the Baptist General Convention

106 106 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST of Oklahoma for the Baptist Children's Home based on a 48-page purchase-option contract which is summarized below: W. P. (Bill) Atkinson Enterprises and Travco Inc. offers to buy from the Baptist Convention the five quarters of land it holds by the Baptist Children's Home in Oklahoma County, on a purchase-option agreement for total surface and all the mineral rights now held by the convention. The first quarter is to be purchased immediately at the price of $2,500 per acre. Payment for the first quarter section is as follows: one-half of total amount to be paid at closing of sale; the second half to be paid one year from the date of closing. Four option agreements are to be given on the remaining four quarters. The buyer chooses the quarter he wishes to buy each time. The seller grants the buyer the option to purchase the second quarter twq years after first purchase at a cost of $2,750 per acre and pay one-half down and the remainder one year following date of sale, without interest. Each option is to be exercised in two-year intervals and the price increases by $250 an acre with each option, so the second option for the third quarter is, $3,000 per acre, and the third option is at $3,250 per acre, and the fourth option is at $3,500 per acre. In each instance only one-half of purchase price is paid at closing of sale and the second half one year later from date of sale, without interest. Each of' the options must be exercised when due and all options will be cancelled upon failure to take anyone option. All options will be paid out within 10 years from the date of the first sale in the absence of unusual circumstances. The seller also shall receive an unrecorded, undivided one-tenth (1/ 10) equitable interest in any commercial or business land. None of which shall be leased for the purpose of operating a liquor store or any place where beer or intoxicating beverages are sold for consumption on the premises. 1. Land to be sold shall be free of all liens, taxes and encumbrances. 2. Acreage to be detenp.ined by survey by competent, registered engineers at buyer's expense. 3. Seller may select a five-acre church site from each of two of the five quarters of land and the total purchase price is reduced by the amount per acre paid for the land. In choice of location the seller will be consulted in the master planning as to the church sites. 4. Buyers will have the entire 800 acres laid out in a master plan, planned by a nationally recognized land planning organization at the expense of huyers. 5. Seller will bring to date abstracts at its expense and seller shall be responsible to correct any defects of title. 6. Seller shall retain the use of the land until the option is exercised by buyer. Possession is to be given within 30 days after closing of each sale. 7. Assuming that all the options were exercised there would be

107 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 107 an average of $3,000 per acre paid or approximately a total of $2,- 400,000 received over a period of 10 years. Proposed Disposition of Money Received from Sale of Land 1. That the net proceeds from each sale be placed in the Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma for endowment for the Department of Child Care. 2. That the income accrue and be used for capital improvements until such time as the Board of Directors of the Baptist General Convention shall determine otherwise. 3. That the Child Care Committee of the Board of Directors be an Advisory Committee in planning a long-range capital improvement plan. 4. That all building plans be presented to and approved by the Convention Building Committee, who in turn will make recommendation to the Board of Directors of the convention. Pertinent Facts 1. Receipts from sales will be spread over a period of 10 years providing all options are exercised. 2. Our farming operations will be gradually reduced and there will be ample time to make future plans for the agricultural operations. 3. On the sale of the first quarter it will be necessary to pay the paving assessment expense on May Avenue of $79, There will be the expense of bringing up the abstracts and the cost of legal work of our lawyer and staff. 4. If placed in endowment and income marked for buildings and capital improvement and earnings were 5 per cent, there would accrue about $100,000 in endowment income the first five years. The total principal in endowment would be a little more than $1,000,000 in five years. Closing of sale depends upon securing utilities in the area and our ability to provide clear title to the property. Church Building Consultant E. W. Westmoreland, who retired as secretary of the Department of Religious Education on Dec. 31, 1965, was invited to serve as church building consultant for the convention. He has done an exceptionally fine job this year. "My work in this field thus far has been one of the most satisfying experiences of my total ministry. More and more I have come to realize that churches never really make permanent progress until they have completed functional and permanent church buildings," Westmoreland says. During the first eight months of this year, Westmoreland assisted 87 churches in planning new buildings. From Oct. I, 1965 to Aug. I, 1966, the Architecture Department of the Sunday School Board worked with 226 churches in Oklahoma. The Architecture Department supplies materials which have to do with church buildings. They also furnish the services of their church building consultants, architects and draftsmen in making a study of the needs of churches and preparing schematics or floor plans upon request.

108 108 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST During the year, the Stewardship Commission of the Southern Baptist Convention has developed a plan for church building fund campaigns cailed, "Together We Build." Church building fund consultants are being trained across the convention. We have men in Oklahoma who are available at the present time. Because this is a specialized service, it is felt that the expenses and honorarium for the visiting consultant should be cared for by each church. Any church interested in a church fund-raising campaign should consult E. W. Westmoreland in the Baptist Building. Baptist Memorial Hospital The expansion of Baptist Memorial Hospital, Oklahoma City, has been completed, and the approximately 400 beds are in service. In order to finish the project without delay, the board voted to increase the original loan in the amount of $950,000 based upon the same terms as approved by the convention in previous years. The hospital is filled to capacity and has met all obligations pi:q.mptly. We commend the administration, building committee and Governing Board's Committee upon constructing and operating one of the finest hospitals in the southwest. Thomas Paul Haskins April I, Thomas Paul Haskins asked to be relieved as chaplain at Baptist Memorial Hospital where he has served on a retired basis since the hospital opened in The board approved the following recommendations of the Hospitals and Golden Age Homes and Brotherhood and Evangelism Committees: 1. That Thomas Paul Haskins be elected evangelist and chaplain emeritus. 2. That the convention pay his hospitailzation and John Hancock life insurance premiums the same as other employees. 3. That if his net income does not amount to as much as $1,200 per year, the convention will give him the difference as additional retirement annuity. 4. That we commend Dr. Haskins to our churches as supply minister, interim pastor and evangelist. 5. That Dr. Haskins be encouraged to serve as cbaplain at large in hospitals, Golden Age Homes, and other places as he desires. Annuity Pertinent Facts about Proposed Recommendations It is most important that every state convention adopt the Annuity recommendations, presented elsewhere in this report, because the new Southern Baptist Protection Program, with its many added benefits cannot be put into effect without approval from every state convention. If all state conventions approve, then it is hoped the benefits may be put into effect early in In summary, this new program will 1. Offer substantial increases in benefits at no change in cost to the state convention.

109 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA Simplify participation on the part of the individual member, since he will hold one certificate regardless of where he serves in the Southern Baptist Convention. 3. Eliminate all state unfunded liability, affording actuarial soundness for the plan. Previous actuarial studies made by the Annuity Board on your plan have revealed a potential liability, or in some cases, a potential asset. The new program will more equitably spread the cost of the plan among all the states. The younger states showing potential assets in their plan is true only because prior service credits given to the ministers serving in those younger states were charged to the older state conventions where these men served when the plan first went into operation in 1938, 1939 and All state unfunded liability of the various state conventions will be paid by the Annuity Board from its contingency reserves, when the new program is in effect and has been approved by all the state conventions. 4. This new program will allow complete funding of the benefits of the members at retirement, or disability, or for widow, or for children's benefits. This has never been done before. 5. It will not necessarily increase the cost to the churches, since most of our churches now pay the 10 per cent for member and church. 6. It will afford long-range economies of operation of the Annuity Board which will be reflected in future earnings credited to the plan. 7. It will bring benefits into harmony with our changing economy. What It Will Mean to the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma 1. All of the state convention plans (Southern Baptist Protection Plan, Ministers Retirement Plan, Widows Supplemental Annuity Plan, Ministers Security Plan,) and other plans be merged and that all plans thus merged be administered hereafter on a Southern Baptist Conventionwide basis; that we close the present Southern Baptist Protection Plan as of July I, 1967 or January 1, 1968 and offer in its stead the new Southern Baptist Protection Program with its new benefits; that after we have merged all the state plans, with their assets and liabilities, that the Annuity Board out of its contingency reserve, fund all the state liabilities as soon after July 1, 1967 as actuarial studies can reveal the amounts; that we also fund the liability of the Southern Baptist Convention Old Annuity Fund. 2. The new Southern Baptist Protection Program will operate as a Southern Baptist Convention Plan in administration, except that collection of dues and promotion of the plan will still be by states. Actuarial studies after such merging of the plans will be made on a soutbwide basis, but by percentage and average age reference will be made back to the states for purpose of any potential liability that may accrue in the future. Your state convention already has this responsibility in the present retirement program. The new program will be set up to carry its own cost. 3. The state convention cost will be the same as it has been in the past, that is, it will pay no more than 5 per cent on the $4,000

110 110 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST salary basis. In one instance the cost will be less. Currntly the state convention is paying more on the man when he reaches age 60. This will be eiiminated in lbe future if lbis program is accepted. 4. The Annuity Board will continue to promote lbrougb lbe state conventions as it has in the past, but instead of promoting the member it will promote lbe churches, urging lbem to put up 10 per cent of the pastor's salary toward his family protection, it being understood, of course, that the convention's pro rata cost will be the same as it is now (5 per cent up to a maximum of $4,000 salary.) 5. It should be readily seen that where we merge all lbese plans together that we have a large spread of lives which gives you a better mortality experience which results in your cost dollar going farther toward better benefits. By such merging of lbe plans, with a longrange outlook we can offer the added benefits that are given here. 6. In order for this program to work, however, it will be necessary that each state convention continue to promote even more vigorously lbe new Protection Program than it has lbe old one, so lbat the percentage of participation will be raised and the average age of the members will be lowered. This can be done only by bringing in new members who are young men. Of course, these two responsibilities have been on the state conventions all along. This is nothing new. 7. The recommendation Roman numeral V which states that "each church may, at its own election, pay dues on a $4,000 salary basis even lbough the pastor's salary is less lban $4,000" is one lbat is not essential that it be passed by every convention. \Ve know at least one state convention which has had this under study for some time and will probably pass it lbis fall. It may cost lbe state convention some extra money but even though it may be offered to those churches where lbe salaries are less lban $4,000 many of them will not take advantage of it. This is the one way of helping those men on a small salary. Added Benefils "There are many added benefits to lbe new program but only lbe salient features are given here. 1. Disability: The disability benefit shall equal the potential normal retirement income benefit, calculated as of the date of disability. You will recall that lbe present disability is for a maximum of $900. This new benefit means lbat a member who may become permanently disabled, say at age 30, will receive what he would have gotten at age 65 on an age annuity. 2. Children's Benefit: 15 per cent of lbe potential normal retirement income benefit shall be payable to each dependent child; lbe total benefit payable to lbe children of a member shall not exceed 60 per cent of the potential normal retirement income benefit, if there is a widow or dependent parent benefit payable, and 100 per cent if a benefit is payable only to a member's children under 18. This means lbat if a member retires at 65 and has an age annuity of $2,000, or should lbat member become disabled at, say, 30 or 35, his disability annuity would be the same. as his age annuity, $2,000.. Each child

111 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 111 would get 15 per cent of that $2,000 or $300 per year up to a maximum of four children, though if the man had four children under 18, there would be this added amount of $1,200 plus his disab::ily annuity. This would also be true if a man died and left a widow. The children's benefit would be payable to the widow. 3. Educational Benefit: There shall be paid to an educational institution providing a member's child with. a full-time course of study beyond secondary school $600 for each of the first four years of such study. This benefit shall be payable under the same condition as the children's benefit, except that the child need not be under age 18, and it shall be in addition to and not. part of the children's benefit. This will help a member who has become disabled or has retired or has died see that his children receive a college education. The $600 will be paid directly to the institution and we believe that arrangements between the Annuity Board and the institution can be worked out so that this $600 will mean more than if the individual paid it himself. 4. Dependent Parents' Benefit: If there is no widow the amount of the widow benefit shall be payable to a dependent parent of the member. Dependency shall be determined by the board, presumably in accordance with a test similar to that used under the Internal Revenue Code. 5. There shall also be paid a lump sum death benefit to the estate where there are no beneficiaries. 6. There are many other added features to the new plan that are administrative, such as, at the present time it requires six years in the plan before full benefit is paid to tbe widow in case of death of the member. In the new plan the full benefit is paid after only one year of participation. Also, there is no increase in widow dues after age 60 for the member, whereas at the present time there is an increase in dues after age 60. Improved Annnitants Benefils 1. Contributions After Age 66: If the payment of dues after age 66 will not improve the member's benefit, the church and member dues may be paid either to Age Security "I," Variable Benefit Fund, as selected by the member instead of to the pooled fund. State convention dues will continue to this fund; however, payment of church and member dues may be continued if they will improve the member's benefits. 2. New Permissible Service for Annuitants: This is a new rule to replace the rules now in existence, if approved by all state secre- taries. This refers to retired ministers. There will be two tests concerning the service of retired ministers to Baptist churches: (1) The member must retire from his present employer. Three months must elapse before he can supply or be interim pastor for his former employer. (2) He can supply or be interim pastor for a church witb no time limit, so long as that church pays 10 per cent of the former pastor's salary (up to a maximum of $4,000) as listed in the budget to the Annuity Board, wbich amount will go into the southwide merged

112 112 ANNUAL OF TIIE BAPTIST fund. When the above is not followed, the annuitant's check will be stopped. Stewardship-Budget In 1962, the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma adopted a 12-Year Program of Mission Advance. Briefly stated, the Advance Program is based on three points: 1. Churches increasing their income by at least five per cent each year. 2. Churches increasing their Cooperative Program percentage a minimum of one per cent each year. 3. The Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma increasing its percentage giving to Southern Baptist Convention causes by one per cent each year, or increasing the percentage to Southern Baptist Convention causes by the average per cent of increase (over the preceding year) in undesignated budget receipts contributed by the churches through the Cooperative Program. Year How Have We Fared on These Three Points? Increase or decrease In per- Convention Increase In centage 01' undesignated church increase to church income recejpts to Cooperative Program SHe $ 516,788 or 2.3% +.02 (2 hundreths of 1%).s (Y.l%) $ 589,125 or 2.7% (Y.l%) $1,585,686 or 7.1% % Total 12.1% % Average 4.03%.07 (7 hundredths of 1%).66 We feel that the analysis of giving trends since the inception of the mission advance program calls for a vigorous promotion for 1967 in two major areas: (1) Continuation of the tithing emphasis, (2) A redoubled effort to encourage the churches to give a proportionate share of increased income through the Cooperative Program. I. Stewardship development program for 1967 Effective stewardship development must include more than an annual budget campaign. It must include the development of the individual Christian to fuller growth in serving God and the development of churches to accept trusteeship of the gospel witness. It must involve promotion, education, and giving opportunity to every member to make a definite stewardship commitment. A concerted effort will be made to accomplish the following objectives: 1. Lead each association to adopt "The Stewardship Development Program for Baptist Associations." 2. Lead each church to elect a Church Stewardship Committee, which will develop and recommend an over-all stewardship information plan, and administer the gifts of church members by using sound principles of financial management. 3. Make available to the churches multiple plans, from which they may choose, to promote church budget support. These include: (1) A Southern Baptist Program of Stewardship, which includes (a) principles of stewardship development, (b) The Forward Program,

113 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 113 (c) a year-round emphasis, (d) a wills emphasis, and (e) Cooperative Program promotion. (2) Growth in Christian Stewardship. This program, designed for smaller churches, has been completely revised and now includes three phases (a) growth through a greater missionary vision, (b) growth through church budget development, and (c) growth through tithers' enlistment. (3) Tithers' Enrohnent Week Program. (4) A Christian Family Emphasis. This is an alternate stewardship plan of activities that includes the year-round approach with the emphasis built around the Christian family. II. Cooperative Program Promotion Two factors are involved in the promotion of the Cooperative Program-information and prayer. Information is the only intelligent basis for co-<fperation. However, the Cooperative Program must be nurtured in prayer, because information alone is not enough. Every church has the responsibility of informing every member about the Cooperative Program-the basic channel of mission support. We hope to use every available means to lead Oklahoma Baptist churches to have a balanced program of co-operative world missions, which we feel includes the following: 1. Encourage the chorebes to pray for world missions. A detailed plan for observing October Cooperative Program month will be available to the churches. A feature of this plan is that a church may observe the month without extra meetings. 2. Make materials available to the churches, which will enable them to do a better job of teaching the members about the Cooperative Program. This will involve: (I) a special plan for distribution of mission tracts; (2) bulletins, brochures, posters, for use on Cooperative Program Day in April; and (c) improved and enlarged distribution of visual aids. 3. Encourage the churches to plan to advance in percentage giving through the Cooperative Program. 4. Encourage the churches to give weekly. Recommendations I. Stewardship-Budget 1.

OUf examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The Executive Office of Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma represents only one of the segments of the operations of Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma. As stated in Note 3 of notes to the financial statements, this report does not include assets, liabilities, fund reserves, receipts or disbursements of: (1) Hugo and Oklahoma City Golden Age Homes; (2) the ten hospitals operated by the Convention either as owner or lessee; and the following affiliated or associated organizations operating as separate corporations; (3) The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma; (4) Oklahoma Baptist University; (5) Faculty Building Association; (6) Baptist Laymen's Corporation and (7) Baptist Building Federal Credit Union. In our opinion, with the explanations in the two preceding paragraphs, the accompanying balance sheets and statements of fund reserves and receipts and disbursements present fairly the financial position of The Executive Office of Baptist General Convention of the State of Oklahoma at December 31, 1966, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

OUf examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances.

In our opinion. with the explanations in the two preceding paragraphs, the accompanying fund balance sheet and statements of fund operations and reserves present fairly the financial position of The Baptist Foundation of Oklahoma at December 31, 1966, and the results of its transactions for the year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year.

236 238 ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST Board of Directors Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma Baptist Building 1141 North Robinson Oklahoma City, Oklahoma Gentlemen: We have completed an audit of the books of the Cordell Memorial Hospital at Cordell, Oklahoma, for six months period ending June 30, Attached, as part of our report thereon, please find exhibits and schedules as follows: Exhibit A-General Fund balance Sheet, as of June 30, Exhibit B--Plant Fund Balance Sheet, as of June 30, Exhibit C-Statement of General Fund Income and Expense, January 1 to June 30, Schedule C-I-Earnings from Routine and Special Services, January 1 to June 30, Schedule C-2-Expenses of Routine and Special Services, January 1 to June 30, SCOPE OF AUDIT A balance-sheet type of audit was made of the accounts, as of June 30, 1966, with spot-check of detail transactions. We confirmed the accounts receivable by outside correspondence, as of June 15, There were no significant, unexplained, changes in the receivables from then to closing date. We aged the accounts, as of June 15, with the following results: Current $ 5, days past due 11, days past due 3, days and over past due 7, Total $28, In view of the above, and past experience, we believe the reserve for uncollectible receivables of $2, to be adequate. We did not witness the actnal physical inventory count, but did spot-check a few of the items, which definitely indicated that the hospital is carrying the approximate quantities shown on the physical inventory. The accounts payable were not confirmed by outside correspondence.

237 GENERAL CONVENTION OF OKLAHOMA 239 COMMENTS The average per diem cost of in-patient care was $30.48, and percentage occupancy %. We computed the retroactive payment due from Blue Cross to be $ In one respect, these financial statements are not consistent with pior years. It has been the practice, as is customary in small hospitals not baving accounting machines, to book the accounts receivable, and income, when the patient is discharged. The "Work-in-Process" has been consistently ignored. With Medicare starting July 1, however, it was felt that we could no longer ignore this item; so we accrued the income earned from patients on the midnight census, as of June 30, 1966, $3, The books were found to be in excellent condition. No recommendations for changes are made. AUDITORS' OPINION In our opinion, the attached statements present fairly the financial condition of Cordell Memorial Hospital, as of June 30, 1966, and the results of operations for the six months period then ended, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a basis consistent with that of the preceding year, except as noted.

244 246. ANNUAL OF THE BAPTIST ACCOUNTANTS' REPORT To the Board of Directors Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma We have examined the accompanying balance sheets of the general fund and plant fund of the Enid General Hospital (a hospital owned by the Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma, see Note 1 to the financial statements), as of June 30, 1966, and the related general fund statement of income for the six-month period then ended. OUf examination was made in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and accordingly included such tests of the accounting records and such other auditing procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. The financial statement for the year ended December 31, 1965, and prior years were examined.by Clarence F. McCubbins, C.P.A. Balances of all asset, liability, and fund balance accounts as of January 1, 1966, are based upon Mr. McCubbins' reports for these prior periods.
