STEWARDSHIP PLAN
 PROVES GREAT BOON
 TO ALL PASTORAL TES

Examples of how churches attain financial strength by the adoption of the Stewardship Plan for financing and thus are enabled to assume larger sponsibilities for the forwarding of the Gospel of Christ in all the world while at the same time increasing their own pastors salaries, are shown on slides and other material to be used in lectures prepared by the Steward ship Department of the Interchurch World Movement Different types of churches are used as examples
 One country church with an annual budget of $500 increased it's budget to $1,120. A city church with 200 members gave $1S60 per member to the work of promoting Christianity. There were "A life work decisions in that field and five of the workers are now in the field. The church has 11S tithers.
 Before one church of 260 members put on its stewardship educational campaign 1t was giving S100 annually for missions and Sl,S00 for current ex- penses. After the members "acknowl- edged that God was the owner of all things and man was the steward" and set aside proportion of their income their budget called for $3,000 for mis- sions and $3.400 for current expenses. The pastors salary was increased $500
 In one church of 400 members. 50 tithing families in the church are pay ing S3 per cent of the budget of the church, which, with the building fund of their own church, calls for the ex. penditure of $l57,00O in five years.
 In another church, with recorded membership of 404 persons, the pas tor was being paid salary of S90O in 1917, which in 1920 will be S2000. The increased sense of the obiga- tons resting upon the members, brought about by the stewardship edu. cational campaign in that denomina- tion, quickened the zeal of the church along eyangelstic lines, according to the report
 The first requisite for a successful stewardship beginning is d right motive,' said pr, Ralph s. Cushman, director of the Stewardship Depart ment. The acknowledgement of the ownership Of all things by God by the setting aside of definite proportion Of the income is not, first of all, a matter of raising money to pay the church's debts or to solve its financial troubles. The acknowledgement is spiritual and is the test of consacration. The funda. mental need is not money. but the consecration which systematically and proportionately places money upon the altar"

CO.OPfRATORS HERE ONE DAY, MARCH A

A session of the Northwest Arkan- sas Cooperative Shippers will be held here on Wednesday, March 24, Con- way having been selected as the meet ing place of the farm leaders. J. H. Full and T. Roy Reid of the feder- al bureau of markets are in charge of the program for the day. The as sociation includes in it's territory 15 counties of northwest Arkansas, and it is expected that 20 or more county agents and farmers will be here for the day. Their entertainment will be provided for by the Conway Com mercial Club. The association first selected Van Buren as it's meeting place, but the county agent left that county and a change was made Ob- jection was made to Conway, it was said, on account of the limited hotel facilities which will be available here
 The program for the one-day ses- sion will be announced later by Mr. Tull and MT. Reid. It probably will include study at first hand of coop erative shipping as carried out by County Agent T. M Williams and his associates in this county.

RURAL CHURCHES
 LOSING GROUND
TWo-THiRDS OF THE CviiNTRY CHURCHES MAKING NO PROG
 RESS OTHERS SLIPPING.
SHOWN BY MO. SURVEY
Appalling Conditions In Many States to Be Met By ,nterchurch World
 Movement Program.

Dr. A. W. Taylor. director of the Missouri Rural Church Survey Depart. ment of the Interchurch World Move ment, turned over to the pastors con ference recently held in Kansas City some vital facts pertaining to partial surveys made in the state, in which he stated there were too many churches in many given communities.
 Similar facts with reference to sur veys in Arkansas will be presented to the conference of pastors from that state, to be held in Little Rock, March 1912. as we'll as in other states where surveys are under way
 He declared that two-thirds of the rural churches of Missouri are making no progress and that 8 per cent to 40 per cent of them are actually slid ing backward.
 Fourteen churches out of score in one Missouri county" Dr. Taylor said. in speaking of the church survey, "are ready to be abandoned
 Too Many Churches.
 "Why are the churches failing in khis state? The answer is that there are too many of them. The average number of people in church in rural Missouri is zoe. In some places there As church for each SO souls The re- suit is they are unable, in many in stances, to obtain competent pastors There as so many Sunday schools that skilled teachers cannot be found"
 Dr. Taylor said that it was com monly believed that the country was the home of churchgoers. The survey was showing. however, he said. that only from 1G to 40 per cent of the population in rural Missouri attended church, and he declared the showing in the cities was better.
 How the world of heather countries can be taken for Christ in few years with united program by the Protest ant Church was shown in the world survey by means of pictures and maps The tremendous needs of the world, which are challenging the church at the present time, as shown by the movement have thrilled pastors, who are giving a burning new message that will mean much for the church and for the world.

GIVING IN PROPORTION
 TO NEED

Giving in proportion to the need of the world, which is recognized today to be almost beyond human computing. Is the preSent-day spirit and message of the churches. The Interchurch World Movement has put before the people of the churches an array of facts, from it's home and foreign sur. yeys of conditions, that have startled the world. The Stewardship Depart. ment of the movement Is seeking to arouse men and women everywhere to sense of their duty in this particu lar. April 2l to May has been se} apart for the financial campaign of the churches, when it is expected thai nearly s300,CO0,O0O will be realized to meet the needs for one year.

Oyster NoLU Placed On the HonorabLy
 Retired List

The little oyster, once such an es- sential money-making factor in church circles, is henceforth to be taboo. It will be regarded by the Ladies Aid Society as thing to be summed. Its help to pay the preachers salary or to plug the hole in the church roof or to send a missionary to India or Africa will no longer be needed.
 Of course the oyster will get an honorable discharge from the service, for 1t did not desert, but was the standby of the Ladies' Aid Society un- til the women found better way of financing their obligations for promot- ing church work. That better way is now being studied in practically all the women's church societies in the United States, according to Miss Laura J. Wright, superintendent of the Wom- ans Division of the Stewardship De partment of the Interchurch World Movement
 There will no longer be any need for the women of our churches to re- sort 10 all sorts Of services for raising money for church purposes when they have learned of the better way which the stewardship plan provides" said Miss Wright. The acknowledgement of the principle that God is the owner of all things and that men and women are the stewards makes church fnanc- ing easy. Wherever the stewardship plan is put into operation. oyster sup pers, bazaars, rummage sales and the like in churches become a thing of the past"
