engaged which have been held in
New York since the beginning OF
June, 1918. After carefully con-
sidering all questions involved in
such an effort, an understanding
has been reached as TO what needs
to be done and the division of the
work among denominational and
| individual church agencies and the
cooperative agencies.
THE campaign in no way effects
plans now under way in some of
the churches for missions and 9TH
er benevolent causes, but will be
co-ordinated with them The work
to be supported by the funds asked
for in the coming campaign is en-
tirely distinct from that of the Y.
M. c. A, for which funds were pro-
vided in the United War Work cam
paign. This interchurch campaign
is for the support of those distinct
tasks of the church for which she
alone is responsible and which can
not be delegated to any other or
CARNATIONS"
A central committee, composed of
representatives appointed by the
authoritative agencies of the Co
operating churches, will have di-
rection of those features of the
work which are promoted jointly,
but will have no authority over the
cooperating church agencies be-
yond that of suggestion and advice
Funds intended for the support of
common work enter the common
treasury subject to the control OF

equipment and emergency funds Il
army and navy chaplains during tn,
period of rehabilitation.
Assisting church colleges to re
adjust themselves upon the discon
tinuance of the students army

Providing scholarships for re-
turning soldiers who would not 9th
erWise be able to complete their
college courses.
Assisting in the restoration and
| extension of the evangelical
! churches of Europe, especially in
the war zone.
A statement issued by the COM
mittee gives further details of the
plan. 1t reads:
THE campaign will be carried on
simultaneously by the cooperating
churches. Each church will have
its distinct budget and organization
to gather the funds from its adher-
ents. The individual campaigns,
however, will occur as far as pos
sible at approximately the same
time, and since the objects in gen
eral are alike, common methods
will be used TO impress upon the
nation this program for the recon
struction period.
THE cooperating denominations
will contribute proportionateIy to
joint fund of $25O,000 to meet the
expenses of undertaking in common
those tasks which can be perform
ed most effectively in cooperation
or which must be done co-operat-
lively if at all.
Included in this cooperative
work are the following: encourag-
ing local churches, especially in
ports of debarkation, to unite in
welcoming the returning soldiers
and sailors and helping them to re
sumo their places in civil life; pre-
senting to them, as they leave the
military and naval service, the OPP
portunity to enlist for life in the
ministry and other forms of Chris
tian work; maintaining churches
and religious workers in the indus
trial centers which have grown up
about shipbuilding plants and ord
nance reservations; assisting the
negro churches to promote the well
fare Of their troops and of the col
orded civilians in special communi-
ties; arousing the churches to sup
port the campaign of the govern
ment against social vice, especial
ly by emphasizing the moral and
religious aspects of this problem;
for an exchange of pull
pits by ministers of America and
Great Britain and other European
with a view to deepen
ing the religious life and promot-
ing international good will; and
studying the effects of the war on
religious life and thought

chased comparatively. The islands,
each of which constitutes a separ-
ate county and has a farm bureau

United States department of agri-
culture, use about three cars of
feed a month. The county agent.
who covers both counties, called
attention to the advantage of CO.
operative buying, and the farm bu-
reau officers arranged with local
bank officials for the purchase of
feed in car lots. The farmers de-
post their orders at the bank on
the first of every month. When or
ders aggregating a carload have
been deposited the bank buys the
feed. pays for it upon arrival, and
notifies the farmers when it is
ready for delivery. Each farmer
makes terms with the bank, either
paying cash or giving his note

given an approval slip. Upon pre-
sentation of this slip the attendant
at the car delivers the grain.

! Mrs. n. H. Hickman, 1407 Seven

engineers in France, written on a
German telegraph blank that was

cation is about two miles from Bel

graphic description of conditions
directly after the signing of the ar

''Longwy, France, Dec. 8, 1918.

CHURCHESWOULD
RAISE BIG FUND
Fourteen Denominations Propose
to Gather Ten Million Dollars
to Aid in Unity.

One of the biggest advances to-
ward church unity yet made, it is
announced, will be put into effect
in the next few weeks, when four
teen of the leading Protestant de-
nominations viii join in a cam
paign TO raise $40, 200, 900 for after
war emergency needs.
This Will be the first instance of
concerted action by the national or
CARNATIONS Of churches to obtain
funds for their common work. The
denominations represented are
Protestant Episcopal, Methodist
Episcopal, Presbyterian Church in
the United States of America, Uni
ted Presbyterian church, Baptist
churches, North, CONGREGATIONAL.
Reformed Church in America, Re
formed Church in the United Statesy
United Lutheran Church of Ameri-
ca, Evangelical Association, United
Evangelical church, Evangelical
Synod of North America, Disciples
OF Christ and Christian church.
The Ri. Rev. Theodore Irving
Reese, Protestant Episcopal bishop,
coadjutor Of southern Ohio, is
chairman Of the general committee
in charge Of the movement, in the
membership of which all these de-
nominations are represented.
The main purpose in raising the
fund is to enable the churches to
meet the strain imposed upon them
by the rehabilitation of more than

papers, they lost the benefit of the
far-reaching work done in their be-
half by the numerous organizations
whose chief function is to care for
the troops in service.
The churches are determined to
put forth their utmost efforts TO
provide for the transcription of this
great body of men into the normal
channels OF civil life without the
denoraIizing- reflects which have at
tended large demObilizations in the
past. They aim to accomplish this
not only by squirting the effective
ness OF their religious miniStrations
to the utmost and widening the
scope of these ministratiOns, but
also by social service and educa-
tional activities which will have a
national range.
Still another purpose is to meet
the shock resulting from the change
of centers of war industry into cen
tiers of peace industry. so that the
workers who are released temper
arily from plants in munition cen
tiers will not drift aimlessly or fall
prey to evil influence, and that the
communities in which these shifts
are taking place will not suffer
from decentralization.
The principal tasks which the
churches will perform with the $10.-
600, 600 to be raised are summar-
lied as follows:
Maintaining additional pastors to
assist the regular chaplains in min
istering to the soldiers and sailors,
especially the sick and those recov-
ering from wounds. At present
there is only one chaplain to each !
l 200 men.
Providing adequate equipment |
and workers for local churches IN |
the neighborhood of ports of en-
barkation, in camps and industrial |
centers.
Supplying bibles and other books. |

few to occupy the homes but wild

these people is surely anything else

the way of reprisals that can be
