DIOCESE DRIVE
RENEWED HERE
Episcopal Leaders to Meet
On Campaign Plans
October l9.
CHURCH FALLS SHORT"
Will Instill New Spirit In
Work of Winning the
World"
CHURCH FALLS SHORT"

q, The diocese of Washington will
take an active part in the fall drive
Of the nationwide campaign of the
Protestant Episcopal Church, ac-
eording to announcement yesterday
by the Rev D. Wellington Curran,
missioner of the local diocese.
Following the return of Bishop
Harding from Europe a conference
for diocesan leaders and workers
will be held October l9 and plans
will be outlined for Washington's
part in the nationwide follow-up
OF last years campaign.
Diocesan conferences will be held
throughout the United States in the
next few weeks to adopt plans for
a vigorous and successful prosecu-
tion of the work by clergy AMI
laity this fall and winter.
Fall short in Mission.
The campaign has as its objects
the infusion of life and vigor into
the work of the church in America.
Episcopal leaders recognize the
fact that the church has fallen far
short of the ideal in devotion to
and prosecution of her mission as
taught by Christ.
In a statement authorized by the
presiding bishop and council of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in
America, outlining the objects of
the campaign. it is pointed out that
the church must be aroused on a
nationwide scale to a realization Of
her obligations to humanity.
The existence of the church as a
whole" The statement says "or of
any national church, or of a diocese,
or of a parish, is justified only so
far as the mission, or commission,
Of Jesus Christ is being carried out
faithfully.
Saeraments Fail.
Viewed as a whole, this church
has not seemed to be aware Of the
real purpose of her existence. She
has not seemed to regard the win
ming of the world and the serving
of mankind as her primary duty.
She seemed to consider the mainte-
nance of diocesan and parish life as
the main thing. The erection of a
church and in it the preaching of
sermons, the conduct of worship and
the administration of sacraments
seemed to be looked upon as ends in
themselves, rather than as means by
which the members gained fitness
and strength for service and sacri-
flee"
