Who Will Be Asked To Give.

The Interchurch financial campaign
will solicit, not only church members,
but their husbands also.
That large number of men who hold
their church memberships in their
wives names, and other friendly citi
zens not connected directly with the
churches, will be asked to contribute
to the sum which more than thirty
cooperating denominations in the In
terchurch World Movement will seek
to pledge between April rs and May q
Organization Of the forces for the
campaign will be built on this basis.
In each denomination in each county
and community will be committees
who will solicit personally the mem
bers of their own church. In addition
there will be county united cam
paign director, with assistants in diff
ferent towns in his area. His bust
ness will be to act as clearing house
for the UNCONVENTIONAL committees,
and to solicit the friendly citizens"
who are not church members.
An analysis of the 1892 pastoral
CHARGES VI oHe SleaI NATURALIZATION
showed that in 1918 only 1874 congre-
cations averaged as much as penny
day for each member, given to the
benevolences of the church, including
Sunday school offerings. While the
churches cooperating in the Inter
church World Movement urge the sys-
tenn of tithing-setting aside one-tenth
of ones income for the church-it 10
estimated that If every member Of
the cooperating denominations were
to contribute cents day, the total
budget of the Interchurch Movement
would be taken care of.
The quotas which each county and
each church are expected to pledge
will be announced at the start of the
campaign.
