In addressing the organization |
Howard L. Seaman, chair /
man for the Diocese of Delaware |
said. This job of raising a half mil !
lion dollars is mans job. The |
women of the church, through the |
united thank offering. and the chill ,
dren. through the lenten mite boxes |
are already giving more than double |
this amount. The job will not be !
hard if every man will do his bit.
The aim of our campaign in Della
ware is to give every man a chance |
10 give something and will count il |
a success in proportion to our abil-
ty to secure a gift from every |
man"
