The Commission, September 1944

Zhe Commission A BAPTIST WORLD JOURNAL Beginning at Home By T. W. Medea r is State missions is basic and includes everything and every place that is of interest to the denomination. It raises money and renders services within the state, primarily, but it teaches, trains, inspires, elicits for world-wide causes and agencies. Foreign missions is the projection to lands afar of all we arc trying to do here at home. Soul-winning in any given state in the South through the state organization is state missions, while a similar ministry in Palestine, China, Africa, Russia and other lands is foreign missions. Our opportunity is one, and is world-wide in its reach. There is no boundary, whether land or sea, where we can scripturally say, “Thus far, but no farther.” State missions, home missions, foreign missions are bound to¬ gether in one bundle in the Co-operative Program, and both Scrip¬ ture and wisdom demand, in every state in the Southern Baptist Convention, that we plan and prosecute such a program with unselfish and untiring zeal.
