to Be Waged Next
Month.

Episcopal Church throughout America
will complete 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-a drive" from the
shoulder, at the heart, not the pocket.
book It's 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
greater 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 revivin-
cation. Locally both clergy and laity
have worked as never before to es-
tablish their church with its commu-
nicants and a pronounced recrudes-
cence of activity already is evident.

First among the financial needs o.
