THIS SUM WILL PROVIDE FOR
sl,lOO 90

The churches of our land are feeling the
impetus of new spirit in these days.
One of the most significant methods OF ex-
preston is that of improved business methods
in the Church. The Budget system and short
term plan of campaign is rapidly becoming
the approved method of Church finance. 1t has
lifted church support from sordid grind and
given it its rightful place on the Church pro-
gram; and has made it an attractive spiritual
exercise.
We are making an effort to have the entire
amount subscribed in one day.
Committees of men and women have organ
lied to conduct a vigorous one-day campaign
They will wait upon you on May B, to secure
your subscription for the coming year.
Those who pledge will have year in which
to pay this pledge and will be given set of
envelopes SO that they may contribute weekly
as they come to Church.
Those who ledge and do not attend Church
are asked to pay at least once quarter.
The Official Board have carefully gone over
the figures in the budget If we are to ma1n-
tain our work this sum must be raised.
1t calls for an outlay of S2l weekly.
We ask your hearty cooperation IN helping
to realize this sum. iii is met in full we shall
be free to devote ourselves to the more I'M
mediate work of the Church throughout the
year.
Yours in the Masters Service,
