Missionary Program
 Advocated By Lord
Bridgeport Guest Tells All Souls ParshiOners Move.
 ment Is Part of Episcopal EndeavOr

The Episcopal Church cannot continue to exist, and in fact, it has no purpose, unless we start doing something about the church pro- gram and give 1t our whole hearted support and take a real interest in its missionary programs stated Tracy B. Lord, assistant superinten- dent of the Bridgeport Hydraulic Company, at All Souls Church yes- terday morning.
 A vestryman in the Park City for 9 years and senior warden for IS years, MT. Lord said in part;
 The Chuch has been and must continue to be missionary church, but 1t cannot carry on unless we become loyal supporting members and realize that we must give more than we have to the advance work.
 A church the lives for itself alone is a dead church, 50 am asking you to increase your givings for the missionary work in order that your parish and your diocese will be able to take its full share in the program of the church. I know that if you give the program serious thought you will want to do your share.
 As the report of the Program and Budget Committee of the General church to the Convention says, Quote, Tt is evident that the sup port of our missionary programs, di- ocesan and general, is dependent, not so much on economic resources as upon the interest and loyalty of our members. Interest cannot be present where knowledge is lacking. As never before, the people of the United States are interested in world affairs. They are hearing from our men in distant lands of the suc-

the church's advance work will prosper as the two jobs go togeth- CT. A strong church is a mission ary church, a church not believing in missions is like a man running on 8 treadmill, he gets no place fast. Our church in this country owes it's existence to the aid it re- ceived from the Missionary Society of the Church of England. With out that aid it could not have lived.
 The program of the General church calls for budget of $2,- 615,O00 of which $1.875, 900 has to come from Dioceses and districts, the balance from Trust Funds, the United Thank Offering and mis- cellaneouS sources. The quota from this Diocese, if we are to do our share in the church's program, is about $83,000. In 1943 $67,5OO was sent to the General church from this Diocese, an increase of $16,0OO for 1945.
 The church has never recovered from the depression years. In 1926 the budget for the general church was $3,000,00 or $2.59 per com-, municant; in 1943 the budget was $1 ,436, 900 or 97c per communicant.
 The Program of the church is world wide, it calls for aid for the church in China, India, Alaska, Li- beria, South American countries, Honolulu, West Indies, Mexico, aid to the church in devastated Europe and, of course, we must be ready to resume at least some of our Far East work when the war is over. It maintains schools, colleges, hospitals and work shops as well as the churches. It educates men for the priesthood, it trains men, women and boys, it takes care of their physical well being as well as their spiritual

cessful work done by Christian mis- sionaries and how our men have been aided by these converts. They are beginning to realize that a new world is in the making and that 1t must be 8 truly Christian world. Our task is to relate these new ideas to the missionary progren of our church in diocese, nation, and the world and to give our people the op- portunity to participate in this greater effort to establish the King dom."
 Study the church's program and I know that you will become very in- terested and that yoa will want to have 8 larger share in it.
 It is time for the 1945 Every Member Canvass and there is a di- rect appeal to each and every one of us to increase our subscription to our Church and in that way make this land of ours a better place to live in. It is our duty and our priv ilege. The answer is in your hands. Let us put first things first and ask ourselves Am doing my share?" If you don't do your share your Church can't do its part, the Dio- cese will be unable to meet its quota and the National Council will be unable to carry out its plans and the work of the church throughout the world will suffer, because by order of the General Convention the National Councils budget must not exceed its Expectancies as re- ported by the Dioceses.
 The Advent season is about here, the beginning of a new church year. AS we going to let the church down or are we going to give of ourselves and our means to help in the church's program?
 Our men and boys overseas are fighting in order that we may have the privilege of carrying on our In- stitutions and they will expect, when they come home, to find that we have done our part in main- taining them.
 Some of you are saying T don't believe in Missions. We have enough to do at home, that is true, but it is also true that if the home missionary work is taken care of,

HOSPITAL PLANES
 TO BE PROCURED
Much Needed War Equip- ment to Be Purchased
 Through Sale of Bonds

Hospital planes, convalescent camps and rehabilitation are among the war equipment and projects be- ing sponsored by women'S organiza- tions in Connecticut in the Sixth War Loan which officially opens to- day.
 In letter to local chairmen, Mrs. Ruth M. Dadourian, director of the Women'S Division of the Connecti- cut War Finance Committee, point ed out that if the loan quota is to be reached by December l6, every force must be brought to bear on E Bond sales and on the sale of more F and G and othe- securities to in- dividual purchasers.
 Mrs. Milton P. Jones, chairman of state women'S organizations, report ed that hospital planes costing SIPS, 900 are being sponsored by the American Legion Auxiliary and the Connecticut Federation of Women's Clubs; concaleScent camps costing $41, 900 are being underwritten by the Connecticut Federation of BuSi- ness and Professional Women's Clubs and the Connecticut Associa- tion of University Women, while the Polish Junior League is seeking $60 900 and the Women's Christian Temperance Union $40,0O0 for re- mobilization work. Other groups par ticipating actively include the Col onial Danes of America, Catholic Daughters of America, and the Con- necticut Council of Catholic Women.
 Activities being undertaken by women's organizations, Mrs. Jones said, will lay stress on promotion of Bonds for Babies, with relatives of every child under six being asked to buy a Christmas bond; featuring the Sixth War Loan at November and December meetings; canvassing of membership, use of pin-money bond sti&-ers to stimulate extra pu: chases, sale of War CorSages, and the setting of definite goals, If desired in terms of fighting, hos pital or surviva lequipment. All clubs, church groups, lodge auxili- aries, sewing societies, patriotic groups and like organizations are being enlisted in the drive. the state chairman said.
 Besides War Bond efforts within their own groups, Mrs. Jones said that members will be asked to assist other sections of the War Finance Committee; retail, Schools at War and in house-to-house and Bond wagon canvasses. Special attention, she said, will be given to canvass of professional people an dthose work ing in small business, together with selling bonds to farmers to take ad- vantage of the harvest season.

If you are, it isn't anything to worry about. A paradox is just two-dolIar word for something that sounds wacky, but is really true.
 For instance, when we say that the price you pay for electricity today is a lot Jess than you paid few years back, you may find it hard to believe. You may think we're wrong because your electric bills are probably just about the same as they've been for some time. If that's so, how can we say that electricity is cheaper?

That De Groot intends to test him

Lights Nearly Ready y
For Old Liner Game

Everything is just about set for
the inaugural of night football In
Byrd Stadium at the University of
Maryland Friday when the Old
Liners will make their bow on an
Illuminated field against Hampden-
Sydney, the Death Valley Tigers.
Work on the lights may be COM
pleted today and will give plenty Of
time to test them before they are
turned on for the first night game
ever staged at College Park.
While the Old Liners will be heavy
favorites, the Tigers never have
proved easy for them. In fact.
Maryland in three games with the
Hampden-Sydney outfit has won
only twice, in 1899 and l94l. taking
terrific 7-6 jolt in the season open
er with the Tigers in 1910.
Walter Sprye, back who turned
the trick in the 1910 game, will re-
turn with the Tigers, but not as a
player. This time he's assistant to
Head Coach Frank Summers, In
the 1910 game, Sprye connected with
two long passes and then finished
the job for the Hampden-Sydney
touchdown by sprinting yards
around end. Maryland previously
had scored but missed the point
which the Tigers kicked to register
their stunning unset.
