DR. AND MRS. E. DARGAN SMITH:  Even though they had no connection 
with this Association until after their return from China it is 
fitting that we make mention of the work of Dr. and Mrs. E. Dargan 
Smith, who served as missionaries of the Foreign Mission Board of the 
Southern Baptist Convention in China, from 1921 to 1928.  They first 
went to Kweilin, South China, the year when the new hospital was 
opened.  In 1925 they were forced to leave Kweilin on account of the 
troublesome political conditions and they moved to Canton where they 
were connected with the Leung Kwong Baptist Hospital.  This Hospital 
is financially supported by the Chinese of the Leung Kwong 
Association, but American doctors are on its staff.
	They returned to America in 1928 and Dr. Smith has practiced 
his profession in Owensboro, Kentucky, since that time.  He is one of 
the noted surgeons of this section of Kentucky.  His membership was 
with the First Baptist Church for some time after his return but is 
now, along with his family, with the Buena Vista Church, of which he 
is a leading and influential member serving in the office of deacon.
