The Rev. w. :. Sayres. missionary for
Michigan In the Episcopal church In q
statement In the Michigan Churchman.
says that the missionary problem IN
the diocese Is complex one. First.
there are the cities with their incrcas-
ing foreign and iaboring population.
How TO reach these people IL a difficult
and serious question. We are doing
scarcely anything for them in any OF
our cities. Next. there are the old
settled rural towns and villages. where
sectarianism has once fourished. where
our church may or may not have been
planted I'm earlier days. In the vast
majority OF these places our church has
never attempted to gain foothold.
THE chief obstacles to our progress
are parochialism and indifference. and
consequently a lack OF men and means.
The work OF winning Michigan To the
church would be comparatively easy
II this Is not done. Michigan Will be
paganizcd for our own dear church Is
the only hope. II we do not Christian
ize the diocese. no other agency 10
likely TO do it,
