STEWARDSHIP PLAN
PROVES GREAT BOON
TO ALL PAST0RATES

Examples OF how churches attain
the Stewardship Plan for financing
and thus are enabled to assume larger
responsibilities for the forwarding of
the Gospel OF Christ iii all the world,
while at the same time increasing
their own pastors salaries are shown
on slides and other material to be used
in lectures prepared by the Steward.
ship department of the lntcrchurch
World Movement. Different types Of
churches are used a. examples.
One country church with an annual
budget OF $500 increased its budget
to $l,l20. A city church with 200
members gave $lS.G0 per member to
the work of promoting Christianity.
There were "A life work decisions in
that field and five of the workers are
now in the field. The church has 118
tithers.
Before one church of 2G0 members
put on its stewardship educational
campaign it was giving 500 annually
for missions and $500 for current ex.
penscs. After the members "acknowl-
edged that God was the owner of all
things and man was she steward" and
set aside proportion OF their income
their budget called tor $1,000 for mis-.
sions and $4,000 for current expenses.
The pastors salary was increased
$500.
In ono church OF 400 members, co
tithing families in the church are pay.
ing SO per cent Of the budget of the
church, which, with the building fund
of their own church, calls for the ex.
penditule OF $l57,0 n five years.
In another church, with recorded
membership of 4O4 persons, the pas.
tor was being paid {, salary of $500
in 1917, which in 1920 will be $1,000.
The increased sense of the obliga-
tions resting upon The members,
brought ahont oy the stewardship edu.
cational campaign in that denomina.

along evangelistic lines, according to
the report.

DOCTORS find
REMEDY FOR
COLDS AND FLU
Calotabs, the New Nausealess
CalOmel Tablets, Cut Short
Colds and May Prevent Flu
By Keeping Liver Active.

Physicians have learned from ex-
perience, during the epidemic of influ-
enza, that one of the most important
factors in the prevention of flu and
pneumonia Is to keep the liver active
SO that the digestive organs may be in
perfect working order and the system
thereby enabled to throw off colds.
check sore threats. and resist serious
complications. For this purpose they
have found that the new. nausealess
calomel tablets called Calotabs. are far
more effective even than the old style
calomel. which was formerly the uni
versal favorite. as Calotabs do not
weaken the patient, nor interfere with
the appetite and digestion.
At the first sign of a cold or sore
throat, doctors recommend one Gallo
tab at bed time with a swallow of
water,-that's all. No salts, no nau-
sea, nor the slightest interference with
your diet, pleasure, or work. Next
morning you wake up feeling fine,
your liver is active. and your appetite
is keen for a good breakfast.
For your protection Calotabs are
sold only in original sealed packages
price thirty-five cents. All druggists
recommend and guarantee Calotabs
FOUR money back if you are not de-
lighted with them.-Adv.
