three millions for benevolences alone,
for which an active campaign is now
being waged.
Just like the Southern Presbyterian
Church by its faith and zeal and earn
estness was undaunted in its under
takings during the awful Civil War of
the sixties and made history that is
immortal so she will repeat this his
tory in the next few weeks in pledges
to the three million campaign. Sacrl-
fees Of the most heroic kind will be
made by thousands of the members
while at present this kind of sacrifice
is being made by laymen of large at
fairs who are giving up their business
and responding to the call of the
Church as willingly as they did to the
Government in the Red Cross and \.
NJ {. \. drives
Congregations are saying TO their
pastors, I'VE will release you for these
weeks that you may give your full
time to the campaign. The pastors,
ever ready to sacrifice beyond their
power, are spending energy time and
money that the Lords Kingdom may
advance at this time of great need.
Never before has the Church felt the
spirit of giving SO keenly. The call of
our Nation, both for money and HE.
seems to have taught a lesson IN stew
ardship which nothing else could have
ever done.
SO with the ministers and members
of the church behind this three million
drive. the lat of April will see them
going over the top with flying colors
and the three million greatly exceeded.
