THIMBLES HISTORY
The modern thimble dates
from 1884, when the goldsmith
Nicholas Benchoten, of Amster-
dam, sent one as a birthday pres
ent to lady friend, with the
dedication: "To myfrouw van
Rensselaer,, this little object which
I have invented and executed as a
protective covering for her indus
trious fingers.
The invention proved such a
success that all who saw it tried
to obtain similar ones, and the
goldsmith had enough to do to
supply them.
An Englishman named John
Noting took one specimen home
with him and copied it by thou
sands.
The Dutch fngerhat Ginger
hood) became in England the
"thumb bell, from its bell-like
shape. This, in turn, became
"thirnble. It was originally worn
on the thumb, to parry the thrust
of,the needle pointing through
the stuff, and not; as at present,
to impel it.
By the way Bill Taft is now
bowling for a workmen's compen-
sation act we judge that Bill is
thinking of getting down to
work for wages, fees or some
thing like that.

LAYMEN make APPEAL FOR MORE
INTEREST IN MISSIONARY WORK
Better Support Must Be Given Movement at
Home Before Success Comes

New York, Jan. 15.-The General
Committee of the Laymen's Mission
AIRY Movement oil the Evangelical
churches OF the United States and
Canada today issued an appeal TO the
Christian men of North America The
appeal follows:
After five years of experimental and
constructive work among the Protes-
tant churches of the United States and
Canada. during which II has had the
hearty support and cooperation of the
leaders Of all those churches. the gem
eral committee of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement. assembled i'm an
nual session. sends out this appeal TO
the Christian men of North America:
About two out of three people in the
United States and Canada arc outside
the membership of all Christian
churches. Two out OF three people i'm
the world live I'm non Christian ma
tions. Two out of three people i'm these
non Christian nations are beyond the
reach of the present combined mis-
sionary agencies Of Christendom. And,
in spite of these appalling needs, about
two out Of three Of the church MEM
bers of North America are contribut-
ing nothing toward the aggressive
missionary work OF the church at
home and abroad.
Manifestly our first business Is the
enlistment of the other two-thirds of
the members Of the church as intelll-
gent, systematic missionary support
ers and workers And this can be
done. Experience I'm all denominations
and in every section of the United
States and Canada, makes MS conf
cent that in most cases thorough go-
ing metods of missionary education
and finance. backed by prayerful and
persistent work, would result i'm a
doubling Of the number of systematic
missionary supporters during the first
year. and in the enlistment of prac.
tically the whole membership within
a few years. These results have been
so uniformly secured and indicated
wherever proper methods have been
used, that we believe the time has
come TO call upon the Christian men
of North America to adopt and work
these methods I'm all their churches.
In briefest summary, the essential
points are these:
!. A missionary committee i'm every
church to work with the pastor i'm en-
listing the entire membership.
.. A period of intensive missionary
Information and education in each
church once each year. continuing
through at least two or three weeks.

preparatory to an every member can,
vass for missions This should be il
addition to general missionary cduca
ton throughout the year.
3. The adoption of the weekly ba.
sis for missionary offerings-insteaI OF
an annual or occasional collection
with a simple and effective collectinl
device such as the Duplex envelope
T. An organized and complete per-
sonal canvass OF every member of tn,
church and congregation once eacf
year by groups of two men each, aftei
proper preparation for their work.
We appeal to Christian men every
where TO put these plans into opera
ton in their own churches. Enlarg-
ed missionary interest and contribu-
tions will not decrease, but will ma
terially increase he offerings to the
support of the local church. This has
been proved to the point of absolute
demonstration. The surest and speed
lest way to solve any local flnancia
problem OF the church is the genera
ton OF a healthy missionary spirit.
For the sake OF cooperative action
between the churches of any city OF
county we recommend 1.-The appoints
ment of a city or county committed
OF the Laymen's Missionary Movement
where such committees are moi already
I'm existence, to- promote the
adoption, of these principles and meth
DDS among all the, churches within
their reach. The majority of the
members of these committees should
be successful missionary pastors. The
whole machinery of the Laymen's Mis-
sionary Movement, with twenty secre-
taries now giving their entire time to
the work. is at the disposal of such
committees in the prosecution OF their
efforts. The fun available resources
OF the various Mission Boards AM
other missionary agencies of tho
church would also, without question
be at their command In carrying out
the program. But tho whole OF the
United States and Canada, with more
than 200 900 Protestant churches. car
only be adequately reached by an army
of volunteer workers. Detailed sug-
gestions for city or county committees
have been prepared and are gladly
furnished free to anyone desiring to
share In the work.
TO all these committees these two
features of wnrI are cordially conn
mended:
/. The holding of an interdenomina
tional meeting of men at stated times

speakers obtainablc. when reports OF
progress can he made and plans for
future work may be approved and a
committee appointed for the coming

This effort Is for world wide mis-
sions. THE field is the world" The
I.aymen's Missionary Movement stands
for an aggressive and confident Chris
tianlty that dares to undertake the
program OF Christ for meeting the
spiritual needs of mankind. We also
believe that the laymen OF the
churches. according TO their ability and
opportunity. are equally responsible
with the ordained ministry, to pray
and to plan. to work and to give. Tor
the world wide extension OF the King
dom of God.
The church faces opportunities to-
lay,, both at home and abroad. that
should challenge the cooperation, de-
votion and sacrifice OF its entire Nom
bership. our watch-cry is. THE
