GREAT WORK

Most people are familiar with the fact that the Southern
Methodist church set out to raise a fund OF $55000ON and sue
ceeded in raising 100000.
They know something of the program contemplated for the
rehabilitation OF devastated France, Belgium and other countries
that suffered so severely from the war, and the purpose to estab-
lish hospitals, missions and other helpful agencies in Belgium,
France, Poland and Russia.
But perhaps not everyone knows that the Memphis district,
under the leadership of the Rev. T, r. Sharp, presiding elder, with
a quota of 100000, raised $4,000, which, with the credits. will
amount to $4,000 in round figures and make it the first district
in Southern Methodism.
1t was a great achievement, surprising anything ever under
taken in this country by a religious denomination; an achieve
ment in which everyone, regardless of creed, will have a share
Of pardonable pride.
Especially is it notable that the district in which the great
movement had its beginning leads all the rest,
