Savannah, Dec 5.-With the end Of
| the intensive week which began last

of preparation on the educational
and spiritual side, of the nation wide
campaign, members of the Episcopal
Church should be ready to offer their
personal service and material means
in pledges to be made in the every
member canvass Sunday afternoon
| throughout the United States. Con-
| tributions both of service and money
as well as to the support Of each in.
dividua perish and mission. The gem
eral church hopes to raise $42 1000, 900 |
but this has not been set as the high
water mark that must be attained as
the principal object of the campaign.
A survey of the church has been
made which shows that this sum is
needed to carry on the work of the
church's mission at home and a i
broad, both for current and for pro.
gressive work, and threefoLths of
this amount is to be appropriated to
propagate the church's mission at
home The church has prepared a
program that involves a definite sum
and the results depend upon the re.
Spouse that is yet to be made by
every individual member Of the
church.
The program for work in the do
nestle field includes Christian Amer
icanizatlon; enlargement Of the pre-
sent work for the negro; definite
program for rural communities invol-
wing competent leadership, building
adapted to community uses, and So
cial centers for farmers and villag
ers Strengthening of work in church
schools and colleges; appropriations
for the general board of religious edu
cation and the Joint commission on
social service; and extension Of press
ing needs in the foreign field Mem
bers of the church have been assured
by the camjaign directors, that moth
ing visionary, nothing trivial and
nothing unnecessary will pass the
scrutiny of the Nation Wide Com
mission. Nothing is provided for beau
tifying buildings, for the comfort Of
worshi2s, for paying debts nor for
endownments
When the final returns from the
every member canvass have been
made to presiding bishop and council
the first appropriation will be made
for the expense of the campaign.
Following this will come the current
budget for the department of mis-
sion. After this the appropriations
will be for the department of reli-
gious education and for Christian
social service and for strengthening
existing enterprises. Last will come
the new enterprises asked for in
