These are the words which the mon

Sunday" movement hear on every
hand; letters commencing the laudable
effort are reaching the committees,
while the telephones daily carry mes
sagcs of cheer, A majority Of the ex-
pressions are from men who do not at
tend church and from those who hold
since coming west.
The interest is becoming clty-wide,
while church members are aroused to
the Importance of tho work and are
rendering earnest assistance. Every
religious sect and denomination is con-
cerned. The Mormon church is enthu-
stake presidencies, Nephi L. Morris,

paign.
Raising Needed Funds.
The finance committee will report
progress on the raising of funds to
inni ont To hn
work. Numerous committees covering
every phase Of publicity will be ap-
pointed.
Those In charge Of the movement
have decided not to follow the usual
procedure of raising funds through
solicitation Of business houses, depend
ing rather upon Sunday church collec-
tions. The spirit is to ask business
men and manufacturers only to lend
such assistance as may be rendered
through progressive measures. And
that is Of such a nature that they will
Immediately comply.
Tho meeting Monday night will not
be confined to active workers alone,
but is open to all who are interested in
the great community movement.
Plans for Publicity.

outlined an elaborate plan for giving

scarcely be possible that there should

been reminded Of the plan and its pur-
pose. In brief, the plan follows,
