The Last Five Years

The Laymen's Missionary Move
ment has been hewing along the lines
OF the national missionary policy
adopted at the Chicago congress In
1910. In 1913 the movement took in
all the missionary forces. both home
and foreign and promoted during the
last two wears under the name OF the
United Missionary campaign over 82S
conferences and conventions in as
many places in an effort to reach
with the message and the method of
the movement every center Of over
5000 people In the United States and
Canada.
The foreign mission offerings OF the
Protestant churches OF this country
which, in 1905, the year Of the organ
fxation OF this movement, totallsd
about 100000. last year totalled
s17,25o,ooo. About double that In.
crease has been turned into the mis-
sionary and benevolent work OF the
church at home and larger proper
ton goes to the work Of local
churches. This Ia due largely to the
adoption OF the methods of church
finance, introduced by the movement,
and to the increasing interest Of men
