Church of the incarnation: An &C
| tive campaign to raise $4,000 was
begun last week in the Incarnation
parish of Minneapolis. In response to
call of few members of the parish
seventy-five men met in the church
hall on Wednesday evening, Septem-
Der Is. There the pastor, Rev. ]. M.
lCleary, announced that generous
benefactor, who refused to let his
name be known, had offered gift of
| $4,000 for the parish on condition that
another $4,000 should be raised The
announcement was greeted with genu-
inc enthusiasm and at once several
men were on their feet with sugges-
lions as to ways and means to raise
the required amount. A Finance Club
was organized with J. J. Quinn as
chairman and Peter Carter as secre-
tary. Within few minutes more
than $4,000 was pledged by those
present and the parish was then d.
vided into districts, each district to
be thoroughly canvassed by a commit

held their second meeting last We'd
nesday evening and reports of the
work already done indicated that the
zeal and enthusiasm of the men are
rapidly spreading throughout the par
ish. The campaign will continue with
vigorous activity until December and
it is hoped that every family and indi-
vidual in the parish will be co-operat-
ling in the enterprise before that time.
Meetings of the Finance Club will be
held at frequent intervals to enable
all the workers to keep in close touch
with one another.
Following the meeting of the FL
nance Club last Wednesday evening,
a card social under the auspices of
the Willing Workers was given in the

games, refreshments were served by
the women and the evenings enter
tainment closed with the distribution
of prizes. The event was splendid
success from a social standpoint and
a neat sum was added to the parish
treasury. This was the second of a
series of card socials which the ladies
plan to give during the coming months.
