intimated there appears no reason
for worry over the future of the

every local church IN the interest Of
American missions. Within the three
years past there have been as many
campaigns OF religious activities
swept over America. First Of these
was the Laymens Missionary move
ment, second, the Woman's jubilee
movement third, the Men and Relig-
ion Forward movement. This cam
paign differs in three respects from
the movement above named, First. it
Is an enterprise engaging both men
and women Second, it is an educa-
tional campaign, with the local
churches as the center OF activity.
Third, it IS simultaneous in its under
takings, and, through literature and
local workers, brings 10 elimination
in a given week results to be gathered
BY each religious body in it's own way
and after its own plans. On Friday
afternoon, November 22, will be held
union meeting which representatives
from all the departments of each Of
the local churches are cordially In
yted to attend. A committee repre-
senting each church is arranging a
splendid program to be given at this
time. Sunday evening, November "a
