BISHOP IN APPEAL
FOR Deficit FUND
Episcopal Churches Urged to
Wipe Out Mission Debt.
$12,500 Asked Here.

Bishop James T.. Freeman has ad-
dressed a letter TO the people of the
Episcopal diocese concerning the
financial conditions of the Episcopal
Church in the United States. Copies
of this letter were handed to the mem
bers of the congregations as they left
their churches last Sunday.
In his letter the bishop says: "At
the convention in New Orleans in
1925 the national executive council
presented an urgent appeal to the
whole church to wipe out the deficit,
amounting to approximately 81 800
600. that represented an accumulation
of several years This deficit was oc-
casioned by the decline in income for
missions, and was not due to eNtrava-
gance. The council had felt that it
could not curtail the established mis-
sionary work in various parts of the
world.
Each diocese assumed its quota Of
the deficit, ours being $50 .0Q0. Large
ly through personal efforts, l have
been able to secure of this amount
approximately SIT, 500. / feel that we
are in honor obligated to meet the
balance of $I2 500 and ] am therefore
asking if you win not aid me in this
important matter.
THE majority of the dioceses have
met their obligations. AS a member
of the Board OF Missions, | can testify
to the urgency Of the need.
1t is expected that offerings for this
purpose viii be made in the Episcopal
churches tomorrow, or contributions
may be sent direct to the Bishops
House, on Wisconsin avenue,
