CAMPAIGN PLANNED
81 PRfSBrTER|AnS
virginia's Allotment In $1,000 900
Drive Placed at sAs0, 00O-Rich-
n1onder Is Director.

Due ALMOST entirely to the initiative
of Mr.. j, B. Spillman. of Columbia,
s. c., who was impressed with the OPP
portunity confronting the Presbyte-
rian churches of the south, a cam
paign for $4,000 has been planned
by that organization, which will open
January /. This Is an addition of
$1,000 900 over the usual amount
raised for benevolent purposes dur
ing last year and several others pre-
ceding IT. This amount has been ex-
pended each year by four central COM
mittees in promoting work in foreign
missions. home missions, ministerial
education and relief. and Sunday
school extension, the last named be-
ing the department located in this
city.
The war situation projected so
many increased obligations and en-
larged opportunities that large ad-
vance in funds was planned by the
leaders of that denomination
Through the efforts of Mr., Spillman
in a. canvass through the religious
press, the goal was fixed at $4,000, coo.
By correspondence and publicity the
church senates of the fourteen South
ern states were induced to endorse
this increas of so per cent for 1918.
The central committee which will
direct the campaign throughout the
Southland was appointed last week In
a conference OF laymen held at At
lanta. and Wade G. Smith. of Rich
mond, was made campaign director.
Mr.. Smith liz on the editorial stan of
the Presbyterian Committee OF Pub
lication, but was released from his
editorial duties in order that he might
devote his entire time to the drive.
Beginning with the LIST OF January,
the state directors will be appointed,
and every church will be visited and
urged to take its quota OF the cam
paign. At this date the educational
campaign will be inaugurated. which
will last through January and Febru-
airy. In March an every member
canvass" will be. instituted among the
local nsregations.
The committee OF cooperation has
been named in every state, and the
committee in Virginia contains the
following well-known men: Mr.. w
s. Rhoads. of the firm OF Miller &
Rhoads. of Richmond w. s. Royster,
of Norfolk; the Hon. G. f. Caskie, of
Lynchhufg; Robert s. Friend, inser-
ance adjuster. OF Petersburg; Rev r.
T. McFaden, pastor of the First Pres
hyterian church of Richmond and
Mr.. Wade c, Smith director of the
drive
Virginia's allotment in the $1,000
coo drive is $3.50, 900. Director Smith
was in New York yesterday in confer
enee with the national Y. NJ. c. A.
committee that recently raised more
than s50.000.o0o. This committee
gave Director Smith the details of the
methods used in that great ampaign,
which. with notifications, will ba used
in the Presbyterian drive.
