CHURCH T|THES
NEED URGED

Every man and woman owes
one-tenth of his income to the
church and must pay this debt
even though he may be victim
of the present intense economic
depression. |
With these commanding words,
DR.. R. F. Day, pastor of the In
wood Church, Long Island, N.
Y, addressed tCday's session of
the last day of the Methodist
Protestant Church convention at
Memorial Continental Hall.
Numerous quotations from the
Bible were cited by the New York
clergyman to illustrate his point.
Almost every church member
can "glibly name the movie e
stars" give the latest dope" on
baseball, describe the measure
ments of the foremost prize
fighter, but he cannot tell of
what his church is doing here
and in foreign lands, according
to H. H. Price, editor of the
Methodist Protestant Recorder,
in fervent plea for more wide
spread reading Of his paper.
