Of the Domestic Science class to the
members of the Maysville Board OF
Education and the members OF the
Maysville City Council.
This dinner is an annual affair but

ONE.THIRO QUOTA
IN THE CENTENARY
! drive SUBSCRIBED
Local Chairman Of Minute Men In NJ.
E. Church Campaign Receives
Encouraging Reports.

A total of five million dollars, or
one-third Of the fifteen million quota
of the Cincinnati area (Ohio, Southern
Indiana, and kentucky has already
been subscribed to the Methodist Mis-
sionary Centenary, according to in
formation received from the Columbus
office by j. H. Richardson, chairman OF
Minute Men of the local church.
This amount is held by Centenary
officials to indicate clearly that the
Centenary will have over 40 per cent
of its subscriptions on hand when the
intensive drive begins in the 5000
churches Of American Methodism next
Sunday.
Already one of the twenty areas OF
Methodism is over the top. This is the
Buffalo area, composed of four New
York conferences, which was permit
ted to go ahead. Friday evening, this
area had more than its quota of over
seven million dollars in subscriptions
on hand, and has now set about rails
ing a million over-subscription.
Even many officials of the church
are amazed at the way in which the
people of the Methodist church have
responded to the call of this-the
greatest of all religious financial cam
paigns ever undertaken. There seems
now no question, officials say, but that
the s115OOO,OOO objective will be OBJ
tanned, and much in addition. In the
Cincinnati area, no church which has
put on its campaign according to the
plan has failed thus far to more thar
meet its quota.
The one-third reported to Mr.. Rich
ardson comes from but small part oil
| the churches of the area and repre-
! sents churches of every type from the
smallest to the largest.
OF the total Of $115,O0O,OOO whlch the
Methodists Episcopal church is t'
raise, $4OOOO,OOO is to be devoted tc
| the home field, touching the problems
of the city, the country and the races
SAC, 900, 900 to oreign mission and edu
cational work; s25,OOOOOo to war re-
construction work in Europe and al
home; and $1O,OOO,OOO to other
branches of religious work.
simultaneously the Methodist Epis'
copal church, South, is putting on
campaign for $35,OOo,OOO for similar
uses.
C. S. Ward, of New York. who has
raised more money for religious worf
than any other man. is directing the II
nancial campaign, and his associate Ii
DR.. ]. W. Hancher, who holds frs
place among the men who have raised
