STEWARDSHIP DAY
Will Be Observed in New England on
Feb. d.

Middlebury, Feb. lS.--A unique and
fitting nation-wid church observance
of Washipgton's birthday will be held
in New England this year in connection
with the interchurch world movement.
Feb. % falls on Sunday and on that
day will eliminate the interchurch
four week educational campaign in
stewardship '-that is, the doctrine
that God is the owner of all things and
that the man who possesses anything
ia but steward accountable to God for
that possession
Representatives of various churches
ut a conference held in New York City
designated Feb % as nation wide
stewardship acknowledgment day" On
the birthday of the father of his coun-
try, the man who placed his life and
his personal fortunes at the disposal of
his country, the churches will empha
size in sermons the obligation of their
communicates to render an accounting
to God of their possessions-to help
forward by financial contributions the
great evangelistic, educational, hospital
and social service program OF the inter
church world movement, for which more
than 81 900 5000 will be needed.
In this connection the interchurch
movement directs attention anew to
the fact that the federal government
exempts from income taxation up to
Is per cent of income contributed to
religious and philanthropic causes. 1t
Is believed that many persons will not
be content merely to contribute 1.-THE
of their possessions to the movement
but that many will equal or exceed the
Is per cent of income exemption.
All over New England, the February
stewardship campaign of the movement
is in full progress, In every one of the
New England states, through the new
perfected state organizations, ministers
have been informed we'll in advance of
what is involved, supplied with litera-
ture and urged to preach the necessary
educational sermons, and make the
suggested parish-wide canvass for
Christian stewards, where this has not
already been done. The educational
campaign, taking in the early part of
the month, leads up to stewardship en-
rolIment day on Feb. %, as its climax.
