MILLION DELEGATES TO ATTEND 1000
MEETINGS TO DISCUSS lNTERCHURCH PLANS
Bulk of Counties in the United States Will Have Confer
ences to Solve Problems of Unchurched Areas, Waste
full publications and Underpaid Preachers.

A method of holding meetings OF
Protestant church representatives in
about 1000 county seats in the United
States, involving total attendance OF
anywhere from a million to million
and a half delegates, has been evolved
by the Ihterchurch World Movement
of North America, according TO an an
nouncement just made at Interchurch
headquarters, at As West Eighteenth
street, New York City.
The original plan to hold all of these
two thousand and odd meetings 81
multaneously throughout the country
was abandoned as impractical But
they will take place as nearly stimuli
taneously as possible, all but very
few being scheduled to be held between
April 5 and II.
The meeting place will In most cases
be the county seat, and the attendance
will be composed of the membership of
the Protestant churches of the county.
The conferences will last one day
only. During that day will be present
ed the whole program of the Inter
church World Movement for promoting
cooperation in missionary and general
church activities among the Protestant
churches. Time will also be given to
discussion of the local problems in each
county as revealed by the Interchurch
Movements survey Of religious condi-
tions throughout the United States.
No Sidestepplng Of Problems.
1t will be, it is said, very excep-
tional county that does not hear some
more or less unpalatable truths con-
corning unchurched areas, or wasteful
competition, or underpaid and alb
sentee preachers. Not many counties,
it is stated, are able to show an aver
age ministerial salary higher than the
average for the whole United States,
which is 1897, while barely one-third
OF the entire Protestant population of
the United States, according to esti-
mates made by the Interchurch survey,

has an opportunity for regular church
attendance.
Besides full consideration of local.
problems, the program at the county
conferences will present the outstand-
ing results of the worldwide survey of
religious, social and economic condi-
tons made by the Interchurch Move
ment, the material for which has been
gathered from every corner of the
earth. Special emphasis will also be
laid on the place of prayer in Christian
life, the importance of assisting young
people in the right choice of their life
work and the duty of laying aside
definite proportion of income for re-
ligious purposes. Lantern slides will
be freely used to illustrate the various
addresses.
The conferences will be managed by
local committees, and the various top
icS under discussion win be handled by
teams of from five TO eight men and
women, recognized as church leaders
In the county or state. Each team will
be responsible for conducting the con-
ferences in eight counties.
Big Educational Campaign Prepared.
This series of conferences repre-
sents only an intermediate stage in a
great campaign of intensive education
in practical Christianity preparatory to
the united appeal for missionary funds
and workers which will be held by the
Protestant denominations cooperating
in the Interchurch Movement between
April % and May . The teams that
will address the county conferences
were themselves trained as a faculty
of specialists in the various aspects of
the Movement at series OF state and
pastors conferences. Similarly, those
who attend the county conferences will
in turn form a faculty" for interpret.
ing the message of the Interchurck
Movement to their local churches
Thus it is expected that before April
20 the ideal Of church co-opera.
ten advocated by the Interchurch
World Movement, in place of church
competition, and the program of evan
gelization that goes with it. will be IA
miliar to every one of the fifty million
Protestants in the United States.
