A CONMENDABLE PROJECT


The dire for the Victory Fund Of
$4,000 additional endowment for
West Virginia Wesleyan College at
Buekhanaon. which is to close May
2, is in every way a commendable
project, and there should be no doubt
of the success of the effort being
made to secure the necessary sub
scriptions. The College has done and
is doing a wonderful work in helping
to educate the young people of West
Virginia, and is in every way de-
serving of the help of all citizens of
the State, and especially members OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church, un-
Ter which denomination the College
is conducted. While all other de-
nominations are engaged in the effort
to raise huge sums in connection with
the Iterchurch World Movement, the
Victory Fund for Wesleyan College

is no doubt that West Virginia Meth
odists are amply able to subscribe
the amount remaining unpledged,
which is nearly 100000.
However, the very fact that the
necessary sum should be so easily
raised, is the cause of the campaigns
present danger of failure. Every
Methodist seems so confident that
the goal will be reached with ease,
that many of them think Let
/ George do 1.-THE campaign can get
along without me- The College au-
thorities are rigidly worried about
this state of mind evident in the at
titude of the people. The goal can
be reached, and with ease, if every
member of the denomination will do
his Part; but TIE drive will surely
fail unless the Methodists do awaken
to the fact that the drive is nearly
over, and that large portion of the
money is still unpledged.

The word goes round in Washing

terf9ring in any way with the can
didacy of "son-in-law," or the Attor-
ney-General, and that he is neither
giving aid nor comfort to any of the
candidates of his party. Dame Ru-
nor further states that the President
believes he. is in pretty good shape
mentally and physically; and is will
ing to die, if need be, to put through
the treaty of peace and the League
Of Nations. And while he has not
been, and is not now candidate for
the Presidency, persistent reports
are to the effect that he will hold
himself in position where he will
be available" should Democracy and

IS AMERICA ovERCHURCHED?
Is America over churched?
Is America underchurched :?

Is America over churched?
Is America underchurched
Until nowany answer to those ques-
ii MS has been merely guess work.
Nobody really knew.
But today the Churches can give
al answer based on solid facts, sci
entifically obtained.
The survey by the Interchurch
World Movement covered the whole
aation county by county.
America is neither overchurched
nor underchurched. The churches
are badly distributed that is all
The problem of the country church
is three-fold:
FIRST. The problem Of denomina-
tionel cooperation.
Second, The problem of men and
money-for men who are paid less
than $1,000 a year as 60 per cent of
the rural preachers are, cannot be ex-
pected to do more than has been done.
The wonder is that they have done SO
much.
Third The problem of good roads
and of churches equipped to be COM
munity centers as well as mere meet
ing houses.
If the country districts are to con-
tinue to produce great leaders as they
have always done, they must con-
tinue to Re supplied with spiritual
leadership,
The Interchurch World Movement
is tie expression of the purpose of
thirty great denominations to cooper
ate to this end.
Surely such program merits the
support Of any lover of America
It's merits your support. And it needs
your support. Give-and give from
your heart as well as from your
pocketbook.

For many long years the farmerl
and laboring people eked out bare
existence while they saw wealth
piling up by the millions IN the hands
of the rich men of the country. When
the time came that the farmers and
laboring people got a larger price
for their product, whether the prod
uct be brain power or muscle power,
they naturally sought to give their
families some of the comforts and
luxuries which they had seen other
people have in abundance. They
would have been inhuman in not do
ing so. To live in the country and
not have a Ford or an automobile
could only be expected under the
times that the farmer could not get
hold of any money. To live in town.
and not have stylish suit of clothes
or not dress your wife and daughter
in furs in summer and lightly as pos
sible in winter, would only be pos
sible in times when money was not
to be obtained in any quantity by la
boring people. 1t may be that some
farmers and laboring people have
gone to the extremes and are waste
fully spending money for unnecessary
luxuries but the percentage is not
large enough for rich men and their
mouthpieces to damn the farmers
and laboring people as classes.
