North Carolina for Christ by Maloy Alton Huggins
Excerpt from North Carolina for Christ: A Survey of the Work of the Baptist State Convention of North Carolina With Particular Reference to the Program and Tasks of State Missions This book is to some extent a revisal of a book written in 1942. Some of the material used in that book is reprinted herein with, of course, figures as to membership, gifts, and other evidences of growth brought up to date. The book published in 1942 was entitled Kingdom Building in North Carolina. Since its publication we have learned that the Kingdom is not something that we build, but it is some thing that grows, as a result of planting, watering, and culti vation. The book is being published primarily for the use of the leaders of the Woman's Missionary Union in their work, but we believe it may be used profitably by pastors, Sunday school superintendents, teachers, officers, and other church leaders. Since it is primarily a book on State Missions, one may wonder why attention is given in the first three chapters to the study of North Carolina and its resources, to a brief study of Baptist work in North Carolina, and also to a brief consideration of what it means to be a Baptist, to be a member of a Baptist church, and what it means for the churches themselves to work one with another as a denomination in a great program. These chapters are included because we believe profoundly that all of our people need to know about these things as well as the specific State Mission program now in operation and the en larged program which ought to be in operation. It is our hope, therefore, that the church leaders referred to above will read the book. If, however, one is searching only for information concerning our present State Mission program, Chapters IV and V alone may be used. A pastor of one of our larger churches has indicated that he would like to have each new member joining the church to be thoroughly familiar with the material in Chapter III, in particular.
