Methodist Aid For War
Stricken Countries

Methodist Of our community will
cooperate in the denominations
emergency crusade when Offering
plates in 43,194 Methodist congre-
cations will be passed March in
nationwide effort to raise a million
dollars to meet war-caused needs.
"Methodism's Day of Compassion"
as this Sunday has been named, is
the first Sunday in Lent.
Several other denominations all
over the nation are using the same
day for war relief offerings. The
local minister has explained to
Methodists here the three types or
appeal that are budgeted in their
Good Samaritan program:
One quarter million dollars is to
be allotted to the religious and So
cial well-being of young men IN
army camps and navy yards. Meth
odist chaplains within these camps
will be aided with literature and
equipment as needed from the fund.
Churches nearby will be helped to
meet their enlarged responsibilities
in ministering attractively to I'M
usual numbers of youth during the
critical hours of "leave". In some
cases this fund will provide general
Methodism's share in creating inter-
denominations social and religious
centers to sustain and build charac-
ter.
A second quarter million dollars
will be devoted to assist the mother
church in England in temporarily
easing some of the frightful situa-
tions involved in 500 bombed and
partionally destroyed churcnes
Also. in the south and east OF Eng
land there are parishes SO danger
ously located that almost the entire
congregations have evacuated, leav
ing unprovided for the pastors who
are staying to minister to those VINO
remain. Other urgent needs grow
ont of the necessity of rescu1ne
such British Methodist missionary
personnel and projects as are II
danger.
The remaining one-half million
dollars will continue and supple
ment the Methodist overseas RELIEF
now in progress; feeding, clothing
and sheltering non-combatant wal
victims.
Since war conditions make added
demands on all regular missionar!
and philanthropic funds, both the
national and local leaders OF this
campaign emphasize that this is al
emergency offering and must no
be allowed to block the flow OF Civ
ing to the regular world service &C
tivities of the church or the result
will be the creation OF new ant
equally serious problems.
The national movement is be1nt
led by Bishop Edwin H. Hughes, re
tired, of Washington, D. c., who il
supported by the Methodist Emer
gency Commission, a group OF bish
OBS and representative Methods

six jurisdictions of the church. DR.

Order Stresses Policy
Of Giving Aid to All Who
Resist Aggression
Bv JOHN c. HENRY.

American military aid under the
lease-lend program was extended
today to another of the nations
fighting the Axis as President
Roosevelt authorized dispatching OF
supplies to Polish forces.
Declaring that the gallant resist
ance of the forces of the government
of Poland is vital to the defense OF
the United States" the President
signed necessary orders to effect the
transfer of military equipment "in
the near future" to Polish troops
now in training in Canada.
BY terms of the Presidents order,
the supplies will include machine
guns, sub-machine guns, rifles, artil-
lery equipment, trucks and miscel-
laneous material.
Expression of Policy.
The decision to furnish aid to the
Polish government, now in exile in
London, demonstrates, the White
House said, our intention to give
material support to the fighting de-
termination of the Polish people to
establish once again the indepen-
dence of which they were so in
humanity deprived"
In issuing the order the Presi-
dent stressed the importance of the
step as a continuing expression OF
the policy of the United States
to extend aid to all who resist ag-
gression.'
This decision to add Poland to the
list of nations now benefiting by
the lease-lend program supple
ments the Presidents declaration on
Labor Day that there will be an
ever-increasing effort by this Ma
tton to accomplish the defeat Of
Hitlerisrn."
