missionary plan OF the Laymen's Mis-
sIonary movement, are contained in the
foregoing suggestions. In general way.
these rules are applicable to all churches.
In n particular way. they may be slightly

At any rate. the new plan as proposed

braces substantially the features out

sionary workers that this plan has been
tried with remarkable success In near

every member OF the congregation gives
something-but all give. Under the old
plan a few gave a little and the most
OF them gave nothing at all.
s. Earl Taylor of New York, who pre-
sided at the conference, explained the
system. He declared that the present
system is no system at all with refer
ence TO missionaries and benevolences.
The blind pool is not business, nor Is the
annual offering plan business. The every

Mr.. Taylor said that weekly contrIbu-

meant.

THE CHURCHES AND THE
FIGHT ON CIVIC EVILS

Editor The Press: In the expos
ure of all the rotten indifference to
duty and morals relative to the city
government of Spokane the most
deplorable fact of all is the revela-
ton of the weakness or hypocrisy
of the churches, and these COM
ments will apply to all modern city
government in this country.
This fight for the uplift of So
ciety brings back to the memory
of those now living the old anti
slavery struggles, when Wendell
Phillips said that the church had
been the apologist for every great
social and industrial wrong in his
tory" History certainly repeats
itself right here in this city. There
are IS churches here, and any OBJ
serving. thinking man will admit
that in everyday business life here
there is revealed more downright
hypocrisy, evasion and duplicity
to the square inch than in all OF
Darkest Africa" This is a fear
full record. Here you will find, as
elsewhere, that all the iniqulty,
official and otherwise, has been ex-
posed by men outside of the
churches. individuals here and
there identified with some church
have aided, but the church as a
whole has been dormant and inef-
fective in it's efforts. Not only that,
but one prominent minister openly
