SURVEY
PROMISES MUCH
Preliminary Work in Local
Parishes Indicates Re-
suits to Follow.

The preliminary work already done
Dy the committees of the local Episco-
pal parishes, in preparation for the COM
ing nation wide survey of the entire
church, indicates some of the results
which will be accomplished. The visits
OF members Of the committees to every
member OF an Episcopal congregation
during the past 10 days, has served to
bring about a closer acquaintance
among members of the Memphis
churches and to emphasize the need OF
the coming survey.
n result that is apparent is the in
creased attendance at the church serv-
ices, and at the church schools. An
other is h arousing of interest IN
church work, as shown in the gather
ings of the clubs and guilds. And 1t
might even be said that there is ap-
parent In the m a more virile
and forceful appeal to the people to
renew their pledges to aid in carrying
the message OF the gospel to others.
The first bulletins issued by the gen
eral committee of the survey In New
! ork. have been distributed by mem
bers OF the local committees, and the
Militant and the Church Militant" has
been placed In every parish home. This
will be followed by other bulletins,
outlining the special features of the
survey. Each local parish has appoint
ed a general chairman who in turn is
assisted by a number of committees, so
that the work of the survey may be
carried On simultaneously in every CON
gregation and the messages may be
carried speedily to every member of
the church.

Then comes the climax. Sewanee,
her strength fast ebbing, braces herself
for a last desperate struggle. The
enemy mas three downs in which to
make that coveted one yard. The sig
