Three hundred and twenty millions
arc to be expended in 1920. Presby-

testing the original selection Of the

Methodist, called attention to dec
laration Of the Mcthodts leaders that

pate In no other drives until after

serted that they could not be partici-

nominational funds. be distributed

tions pro-rata.
A substitute plan advanced by DR..
c. III. Patton of Boston, who present
ed the report, proposed that the gen

Of actual collections made by the de-
nominations. When fight seemed
imminent on the question il was re-
fcrred to the general committee to be
