MISSIONARY WORKERS
PLAN FOR YEARS WORK.
A Membership Campaign Is to Be
Made During Next Week.

Made During Next Week.
The members Of the missiona cy
committee of the Methodist church
discussed plans for the years work
at an oyster supper served in Bed
ford's Cafe Monday night at 8
O'Clock. Only four or five Of the
twenty-one members were absent.
Rev. J, A. Whitehurst, pastor of the
church. and Presiding Elder Arm
strong were in attendance One emo
of the dining room at the Cafe was
curtained off for the event. N. j.
Thomas, chairman of the committee,
acted as master OF ceremonies. At
ter the supper had been served short
talks were made by w. P. Hancock,
Hon. J. NJ Alderdice and E. J.. An
derson. Pastor Whitehurst and DR..
Armstrong gave the committee
some valuable information relative
to the work in hand. A demonstra-
ton intended to be of aid to the
committeeman when making their
campaign of the city next week was
given by Charlie Ray and E. A. Biv-
ings.
AT previous meetings of this com
mittee it was decided to abandon
the old plan of collecting the mis-
sionary assessments once year and
to adopt the Duplex card system
which is based on weekly contribd-
tons. The committee believes this
to be better plan and will give
members of the church an opportun-
ity to make small contributions all
along through the year and relieve
them of strain at the end of the
conference. 1t is the purpose of the
committee to call upon every mem
Der of the church next week and
place with them package of en-
velopes and one of these may be
used every SUNDAY. Accompanying
the envelopes is pledge card which
is signed by the person desiring to
give weekly or monthly and will
show the total amount to be paid for
the year. It is believed this system
will appeal especially to the chill
dren as it will give them an oppor-
tunity to contribute their pennies
and nickels to the cause of missions.
The committee has decided to
make next Sunday missionary day
at the church At IL o'clock a mis-
sionary sermon will be delivered by
the pastor, Rev j. A. Whitehurst.
At night the committee will have
charge of the services, and ON this
occasion the new system will be full
ly explained. The speakers will in
clude Mr.. Hancock, Mr.. Alderdice
and Mr. Anderson
