DIRECTS BIG WORK
The Rev. H. P. Atkins is Managing
Cincinnati ~Interchurch World
Campaign.

The Rev. Henry Pearce Atkins, for
a time the pastor of the Christian
Church in Mexico, is now in Cincin-
natl, where as executive secretary of
the Federation of Churches in Gin
cinnati and Vicinity he is managing
the local Interchurch World Movement
campaign and is doing a great and
worthwhile work.
The Federation is composed of over
three hundred Protestant churches of
the district including Cincinnati, O.,
and Covington and Newport, KY.
The organization is the central clear
ing house of these churches and the
connecting link between them and
those local and national organiza-
tons which are working for human
welfare. Each church which is a
member is represented by its pastor
and one layman Of its own selection.
The Council meets monthly from Oct
ober to May and from its numbers
are selected members for an execu-
tive committee through which the
work of the Federation is carried on.
This organization is one Of the pro-
pressive movements in the country
which is working toward church
unity, although it does not stand di-
rectly for church union. One Of the
immediate undertakings at hand at
the present time is the local cam
paign in the Interchurch World
Movemnt, which is being directed in
Cincinnati by the Rev. Atkins.
In order to give a detailed and COM
prehensive view Of the city and to
personally acquaint the citizens
with it, bulletins are issued
setting forth important facts con-
corning the people living in its
bounds.
One bulletin answers the question,
Who are the people in your city?"
by dividing the population into
native whites, foreign whites, neg
roes and orientals, etc. Another an
swers the question, From what coun-
tries did your people Gomez" by di-
viding the foreign born into classes
according to their native lands and
numbering those in each group. Still
another bulletin gives the percentage
Of the population represented in each
Of the forms of industry and labor in
the city; and another enumerates the
various kinds Of businesses in the
city and gives the number Of estab-
lishments in each.
