Vermont Baptists
to Raise S650,00O

MIDDLEBURY, April 1G-No
denomination of the 81 cooperating in
the great Interchurch W orld oMvc-
ment is more energetic and hearty
than the Northern Baptists, who
have set their goal at $100,000,000
for their work at home and abroad.
Their world survey, which has been
put out in an Illuminating volume,
covering Home and Foreign missions,
education, ministers and mission
aries salaries and pension fund, has
aroused the denomination to grapplc
with the problem.
Nermont's allotment is S6J0,000 and
under the direction Of Rev. Dr.. "
A. Dawson, secretary and superinten-
dent, ably assisted by Albert Silver,
Jr., associate state director, every
church has been organized, infolma-
ton impaired and dente plans laid
for putting through the canvass be
tween April % and May 2.
The Baptist State Convention, from
the income of its permanent fund, to-
SttItI WIFI lllt OlulIldlN olitl HlS7,
spent $4,000 last year on the educa-
tional, missionary ana evangclistic
work in this state. 1t is now planned
to put 100000 of the increased
amount to be raised by the small per-
ccntagc Of increase asked for the
regular work of the convention, into
Vermont Academy at SaXton's River.
This school which has been closed for
some time, will be opened in the fall
Of 1921 as a frst class fitting school
for boys and girls, with thoroughly
renovated and new buildings which
win be erected meanwhile. 1t is pro-
posed to make this school Il real edu
catlonal institution especially for
children of the rural communities,
where the moral and social advan-
tagcs and protection will be of thc
best.
ID. DAWSON expresses the opinion
that the work is going finely every
where, and states that there were tho
largest number of baptisms on
Easter Sunday that have occurred
during the Il years of his administra
ton.

MIDDLEBURY, April 16-Ncv
England folk are to be called upon t.
contribute $18,145,094 to the cause 0
topmost church efficiency. That sun
represents the New England quota il
the United Simultaneous fnancia
campaign April Is to May 2, to rai5c
$336,777,572 in the match.

tionalists, $1,O07000; Presbyterians,
$75,215; Christians, $107 900; Disciples
$4,000; Friends, $4,000; Reformed,
1859; Community quotas, $3,GS3,220.
Thirty denominations will take part
in this big campaign in the nation at
large. The drive is under the auspic-
es of the Interchurch World Move
ment, the clearing house agency n
which the various denominations are
working as a religious unit.
Nh. Estes said he wanted to make
it perfectly clear that the Inter
church World Movement is merely
the agent of the churches. 1t enables
them easily to do business with each
other, and promotes the interests Of
all. 1t is not working for organic
union of the churches, nor it is trying
to conduct any sort of repressive
campaign.
The quotas of all denominations in
each New England state are; Maine,
$571,9S0; Massachusetts. 1902, 1893;
New Hampshire SLAB ,220; Rhode Is
land $1,S34,0 900; Vermont, $992.18O,
Connecticut is included in the New
York district.
Vermont's quota is divided as fol-
lows: Community $199,180; Baptists,
$G50000; Christians, $4,000; Congre-
gational 100000; Disciples, $4,000
Friends, $4,000 total, S992.1SO.
Not all of the $336,777,572 total IS
to be paid in during 1920. Nh Estes
declared although subscriptions will
be sought for that amount. The ac-
tual amount to be paid in this year
is only SIZE, 41S,349. This arises from
the circumstance that the Northern
Baptist convention, and one or two
other denominations, is raising five
year budget but only one years total
is to be actually paid this year.
Outlining what use is 10 be made of
these large sums which the CAMPAIGN
is expected to bring in to the church
Golfers Mr.. Estes said that the ma
tional budget of askings $336777,572
is divided into the followin g items:
For foreign missions $107 G6l ,488 |
for home missions, $109, 949,237; for

THE GIRL ON THE JOB

POLITICAL POSITIONS.
~~pyrisht. 1920. by Wheeler Syndicate.

To the women interested IN the new
field opening to her and her sisters, It is
worth while studying the results OF the
recent elections.
Not all the results are known yet but
there are isolated and scattered facts that
point In the general direction Of more
political Jobs for women. In Colorado,
for instance, a State that went Rcpubll-
can, Miss Inez Johnson, a Democrat was
elected county superintendent OF IL Paso
county. In Connecticut, five women were
elected to the lower house OF the Leglsia-
ture. and vet Connecticut Was the last OF
the States 10 ratify the suffrage amend
ment. In Kansas. four women were elect
ed to the Legislature. And WAY down
south, in Louisiana, woman was elect
ed to the State constitutional convention
New Jersey and New Hampshire both
elected women To their Legislatures, and
in Ohio, women were elected to several
important positions Among these were
Miss Davey, chosen prosecuting attorney
for Hooking county, and Miss Florence
Allen. elected Common Pleas Judge III
Cuyahoga county, which is the largest
county IN Ohio. Another woman III the
State was elected probate Judge
A number of women were elected ior
important school posts, anu IiiSte ID ~
doubt, that, when all the information has
been tabulated and results can be got at,
we shall find a large number Of women IN
various political positions all over the
country. Some say that this is passing
phenomenon, due to the enthusiasm ot
newly having the vote But this IS IN
likely 1t Is far more probable that wenl-
en- viii enter more and more fully into
politics and will hold office more and more
generally. 1t was the same when women
ffrst went into business Many thought It
the fancy Of a few, doomed TO die Now
it is the ordinary and expected thing, not
only here, but pretty much all over the
world
1t is for the woman to choose her career,
and if she is attracted by politics, there
seems to be no reason why she should not
make it as much her life work As much as
many women today are making business
and the professions their life work
