CHAPTER XIV.

George took OF his dressing-gown
and put on collar and tie. his fingers
shaking SO that the tie was not his
usual success; then he picked up his
coat and wafstc0at, and left the room
while still In process of donning them,
fastening the buttons as he ran down
the front stairs to the door. It was
not until he reached the middle of the
street that he realized that he had for
gotten his hat; and he paused for an
irresOiute moment then he decided
that he needed no hat for the sort OF
call he intended to make. and went
forward hurriedly. Mrs. johnson
was at home. the Irish girl who came
to the door Informed him. and he was
left to await the lady, In q room like

INTERCHURCH WORLD IN
GREAT FORWARD MOVE

Five million workers, million more
ueople than the United States had un-
der arms at the end OF the war, VIII
be engaged during the week, April 20
To May 2, in putting across the great
united financial campaign in which
thirty united denominations are join
ing in the Interchurch World Move
ment to raise $336,777,572.
In Michigan, there will be raised ST.
$685. 08, of this.
This budget represents the first at
tempt of the churches to get together
in a really great effort to solve the
problems which have been pressing
upon them for past generations, and 1t
is only beginning.
The budget is based upon world
wide survey which has been conducted
by the Interchurch World Movement
during the past year. The budget as
presented Is a conservative statement
of what is now imperatively needed to
maintain and develop the work of the
church.
The total amount to be paid this
year is approximately one-half of the
total campaign budget, or about $175,-
100000.
The thirty denominations which are
cooperating in the campaign repre-
sent approximately 60% Of the Protest
ant Church membership Of the United
States.
The vast national army of five mil
lion will be, in an overwhelming pro-
portion, a voluntary army. At the
head comes the National Campaign
Cabinet, made up of representatives of
each denomination. Then come the
regional united campaign directors,
and then the state united campaign di'
rectors, the county united campaign di'
rectors, and so on to the local church,
where teams will canvass the individ-
ual.
All in all, this will be the greatest
aggregation of loyal, voluntary work
ers since the Liberty loans, and the
Interchurch World financial campaign
Is often called "The Liberty Loan OF
the Churches"
