TELLS EPiscoPALiANS WHAT
 NATION WIDE CAMPAIGN Is

| NATiON-W WIDE CAMPAIGN IS
 The origin, object and programme of the nation n-wide campaign of the Episcopal church were clarified by | Rev. John G. Sadt1er of Bridgeport on | Thursday evening at a mass meeting l held at Trinity Episcopal church. The | visiting clergyman explained in an in- | teresting way just how the campaign came into being, what it's objective is and how the programme is to be car l ried out. The meeting was presided | over by Rev. J. Eldred Brown, rector Of Trinity Episcopal church.
 1 Tn his opening words Rev. Mir. Sadt- Ter said the object of the nation wide campaign is an effort to apply and | i church on the whole task of the l church. He told of the origin Of the | movement and of the forming of the l i central committee and later of parish | committees, the duties of the latter , being to bring the movement before | the people. The real objective Of the | campaign is the church's whole task. l he said. That was brought out by the surveys to show the various needs l Speaking of needs, he said. the board of missions tells us of the Indians we have neglected. They also tell Us of | the mountaineers, cut of from educa- tion and culture. The only schools they can have are those provided by people from outside. Think of the
 negro population, four-fift Of them
 below the Mason and Dixon line. ig- norant and emotional. What they need is instruction.
 Then the foreigners among us The board of missions is asking us to do
 something better for them Twenty
 millions of foreign speaking people in our country and one-half of them un-
 able to read or write. Are we to give
 them over to false leaders? 4 million
 dollars may be needed for Americani-
 zation work.
 Then of course the joint commits
 sion on social service has a program. There must be some sort of partner
 ship if there is to be expression in
 business life of brotherhood. Many a
 man is coming frankly to say the only
 hope. Of peace and cooperation be- tween capital and labor is when ev-
 cry man will stand by the Golden
 Rule Men are turning more than
 ever to Christian principles as the so-
 lutions. There is not only the need
 but there is the demand and the ques-
 ton is, How are we going to supply
 it?
 There is to be a canvass next Sun day in most churches when men and
  willing to do. The service proposi- . ton will be put before them first Are 5 you willing to give of your time to the need of the church You are asked to sign up to do something. Then you 5 are asked to make some contribution . such as you feel able to make. There is also a. programme for the children.
 Everybody can have part. We can't
 get out more Of this than we put in 1t fHe N1e S,- H-s. .7A = words.
