The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1911-10-06

The Home Base Committee Of the Con-
ference Of Foreign Missionary Socie-
ties, each furnishes one man to look
after the missionary campaign. this
being supplemented by speakers from
the individual societies. The Interna-
tional Committee of Young Mems
Christian Associations has, from the
beginning, contributed the services of
the campaign leader and promotion
secretary, and as tine campaign ad
vances, will give more. This is
wonderful proof of the cooperation
that exists, of the economic basis of
the plan.
The Committee Of Ninety-seven
urges that this policy of creating no
new organization be followed in each
| city or community. If it Is deemed
necessary to improve some social con-
dition, seek to do it through such or
ganization as has been formed for
such purpose, and in cooperation
with those who are familiar with the
task, unless organization and workers
present an utter helpless situation.
If they cannot be electrified. electro
cute them and go on. No new ma
chinery but greater power for what
Is.
The next item in the plan Is the
campaign. How shall the message OF
this movement be given? About nine
