 At the recent meeting of the tri- ennial general convention of the Episcopal church in Detroit, ,splans for the nationwide campaign were fully endorsed.

 Estimate Is Reduced.
 In this, connection, the joint com mission at a meeting held in New York City last week, fixed as the amount necessary to the needs of the church in it's program the sum of $42, ,000,000. The figure first fixed was $62,000 but this sum was revised to make the program as efficient and reasonably economical as the pressing needs of the organization would per init. Of this total the sum of $28,- OOO, ,0e0 is contemplated for general work and $14,0O0,00O for Diocesan activities. Of the total for general work, the sum of $10,000,000 is to be devoted to home missionary work in the dioceses and missionary districts of America. The remainder is to be used for missionary work in foreign fields. for social service,s religious ed I ucation and Americanization and other work at home.
 No difficulty is anticipated in rais ing the full sum needed during the closing week of the campaign. All funds for the general work of the church will be appropriated and dis ] tributed by the duly constituted au- thority, after careful and thorough in- Yestigaticn.
