NATIONWIDE CAMPAIGN BEFORE
 TRINITY EPISCOPAL MEN

As a wind-up of the five weeks cam paign of education in behalf of the na- tion-wide campaign of the Episcopal church, the Parish Aid of Trinity Epis- copal church gave the men of that par ish supper at the Community House on prettily decorated with baskets of flow CTS, evergreens and ferns. The menu was escalloped potatoes, meat loaf, salad, rolls coffee, cake and ice cream
 Following the supper there was an in teresting talk on the object of the na- tion-wide campaign in which it is plan- ned to raise 5000, 900 for the carry ing on of the work of the Episcopal church, given by Rev. George L. Paine of New Haven. Rev. Mir. Paine in his talk said that there were 165 Episcopal clregymen in three provinces alone who received less than s1, ,o0o year and that it was the intention of the campaign to increase the salaries of These men so that they will be getting a living salary. Another thing is the placing of strong men in college centers. men who know youth and who through the Episcopal teachings will save many young men and women to the church. Every year over 17,000 young men and women leave the home church and enter college or second ary schools and in very few cases are | they followed by an Episcopal clergyman. The church hopes to do a larger work among the three million mountain whites in the southern Appalachian dis l tricts. At present these people are il- | literate and most work in mills or are out in the sparsely settled section. There are only A schools in the valleys and if 1 the Alvin Yorks of the future are to be l educated there must be something done | for them through the Episcopal church
 There are 20 million foreign born ir | this country who are untouched by tht church, 50 million are in the country be
 yond the influence of the church ant
 more than 50 million or more than hall
 the D, = Ie in the United States are mem
 bers of no church at all. There is a larg'
 do an immense amount of good. Thes' | are only few of the things that the money is to be used for.

 been active there in the Episcopa
 church, spoke to the meeting and told O
 his experiences in the south and else
 where. He said that everyone could giv
 five per cent. of their income to thi
 great work. He also spoke of the salar
