HEAVY LOSS IN METHODIST
CENTENARY FUND

Leaders OF the several denomina-
tions that have In recent years put
on big drives for millions for church
work, are viewing with alarm the
increasing loss through failure to
collect the pledges made. In some
denominations 1t has been noted that
the failure Of people to pay on the
big national fund has impaired re-
ceipts that come through regular
channels. A number Of contracts and
agreements were made on the basis
of the pledges, and when payment Of
the pledges was defaulted, serious
embarrassme has resulted. 1t now
seems that the denominations are In
trouble in direct ratio to the size
OF their widely advertised funds. DR..
r. ]. Wade, general secretary Of the
Methodist Episcopal centenary fund
says that the falling off in receipts
is so heavy as to seriously endanger
the usefulness of the fund.
In DIR. Wade's latest report. he
says: Centenary receipts are below
last years low water mark. If the
present rate of decline (1S.6 per cent?
continues unit. October LIST the be-
nevolent income of the Methodist
Episcopal church will then be $780,
900 less than during the first II
months of last year. That means a
loss equal to 40 per cent Of the whole
amount expended last year by the
Board of Home Missions and Church
Extension, or a shortage equal to
the amount that will be sent this
year to China, Japan. Korea. India
and Burma"
