viii complete a drive" that must
stand as unique among the many that
have been made since the exigencies
Of war FIRST brought that term to its
present definition.
1t has been a drive for souls and
not for dollars-s drive from the
shoulder at the heart. not the pocket
book. Its principal purpose has been
to keep awake and active the spir-
ituality reawakened by the world up
heaval. to shake into activity and
highest efficiency those offices OF the
church which may have become to a
sreater or lesser degree dormant and
to impress upon the laity that the
church stands equipped and eager to
supply every spiritual need.
Every city and hamlet in the coun-
try has been made TO feel the revivifi-
cation. Locally both clergy and laity
have worked as never before to es-
tablish their church with its commu-
nicants and q pronounced recrudes-
cence Of activity already is evident.

Der. During that period every mem
ber Of the church will work with re-

First among the financial needs Of
the church considered at the recent
triennial general convention In De
troit, was the pressing need fol
higher salaries for the Episcopal
clergy. It was found that only too
often many OF the most active and
effective workers within the church
were subjected to hardship and ever
10 humiliation by present insufficient
emolument That he may hereafter
do his work as leader Of the
church with efficiency and self 70
spect" this fault is to be remedied.
