| The Rev. J. M. Horton to}
* - Be Installed at State Meeting. Monday. By EMMA RIVERS MILNER
A man who says he likes “all kinds of sports, all kinds of people and all kinds of books,” will become | '
‘official leader of nearly 100,000 Indiana Baptists next week. . He is the Rev. J. M. Horton, a
former Hammond, Ind., pastor, who will be installed as executive secretary of the Indiana Baptist Convention at the annual meeting to be held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday at Peru, Ind. The Rev. Mr. Horton succeeds Dr. T. J. Parsons who has served the convention for 25 years. ‘The new secretary says he has a great curiosity about the opinions of thinking people on many subjects and that is why his taste in people and reading is so varied.
e Bought Home Here . He and Mrs. Norton have bought a house at 618 DeQuincy St. and expect to make their permanent home here. Their three daughters
are grown and following independent careers, or are married, but the father and mother say they must “keep a home here where the girls may come to visit.” The new secretary is genial and friendly, with a merry smile and cordial handclasp. He was physical director for the Y. M. C, A. during the last World War and can still hit a baseball, he says. Fishing is one of his chief delights but he confesses he's no good at sitting all day in a boat waiting for the fish to nibble. He “prefers to fish where there’s fishing.”
Helped Foreign Born
The Rev. Mr. Horton has worked with Mexicans, Rumanjans and Hungarians in the northern part of the state, The Hammond church had a membership of 800 when he took over 14 years ago and had twice that when he left. : : Sunday evening congregations numbering 400, mostly young peopel, are called a striking achievement of the Rev. Mr, Horton. Partly responsible for this is the large chorus and orchestra which he organized, the pastor thinks. Called a friend and student of youth, the Rev. Mr. Horton has been sharing his knowledge of the young by holding institutes for youth leaders. He is chairman of the State Department of Christian Education; a
