yard, living with the Freeman family
while no parole.

promise not to have him turned over to
the prison authorities when she went to

A statewide campaign is now
to determine what the rural
churches of Kentucky are doing,
and what they should do. This
move in Kentucky is a part of
great CO. operative effort among
the Protestant Churches of the
nation, known as the Interchurch
World Movement of North
America. This nationwide move
ment aims: first, to state the re-
ligious and social needs of every
county in the United States,
what the churches of each
county have decided to do in
order to meet these needs, and
how many men and how many
dollars are needed in each county
to put the pro gram over; second,
to educate the entire country in
these facts; a n d third, IN a
great cooperative drive to enlist
the men and raise the money
necessary to meet all the needs.
The money raised will be spent
by the churches themselves, not
ny the Interchurch World Move
ment. In this way the independ-
ence of every denomination is
conserved, while at the same
time the blessing of cooperation
is gained by all.

A body in the water is supported by
