United States for the furtherance OF
church work-the Methodists recently
raised $109 100000 within their own de
nomination for a similar purpose-the
fundamentals in the forthcoming cam
paign are, "to bring the spiritual power
of the church to bear upon the church 3
whole task" to quote the national di-
rector of the campaign, DR.. r. w. Pat
ton, and ito secure and train all in
creased number of people, clerical and
lay, for christian leadership"
The Episcopal campaign is in line
with the campaigns conducted by the
Methodist Church, the Presbyterian
Church and the Baptist Church to bring
about quickening of christian respon.
sibility for the great task of world re
construction, both domestic and for
eign, that has been left upon christian
peoples everywhere as heritage of the
world war.
Upon the survey of the needs of each
parish, which will be in the hands of
the central office in New York by Au-
gust first, the federal agencies of the
church will be in position to unite on a
single appeal for support. Based upon
q
sition to "apply itself to the task of
meeting these needs and to make on a
given day an every member canvass
that all may be exhorted to gifts and
service

the western area is entrusted with the
responsibility for it's own campaign
work, under the leadership of the resi-
dent bishop, assistance in organization
