for the year has been raised or until
every Christian church in Kentucky
has had the opportunity of saying
whether it desires to have its share in
the movement Dr. Weaver said the
total pledged to date was in excess of
$25O,0OO.
I'VE are proud of the effort made by
the Disciples churches which have re-
sponded so nobly to the call for Chris
ton service" said Dr. Joseph W. Ha-
| gin, state director of the campaign, on
the eve of leaving for Covington to
Sunday. at has been a lesson TO us in
unselfish devotion to the cause of the
Master and to the great cause of edu-
cation and missions of the Disciples
Brotherhood. The fact that many
churches have had other campaigns on
their hands and have not had the OPP
portunity to make the campaign neces-
sary to raise the quotas assigned to
them has handicapped us and made
necessary a continuance of the cam
palen. DR. Weaver is amply able tc
look after it. and opportunity will bt
given before ii closes for every mem
her of the Christian church in Ken
lucky to give or pledge sum of money
for this most worthy cause.
Surely the gifts of the churches
which have responded to our appeal IL
like treasure laid up in Heaven fol
il will make possible the payment o
living salaries to hard-pressed teach
ers in our colleges and Improvement
which absolutely were necessary, /
these colleges were to maintain thei

Dr. Weaver will have an Office in tn,
Central Christian church's educationa
department, from which he will con
Guct the campaign for the remainder
Of the fund. which It is hoped to rais'
