ALL-MEMBER CAMPAIGN
Campaign to Reach All Members of
Congregation is Now in Progress

Campaign to Reach All Members OF
Congregation is Now in Progress
Announcement has been made by
the Rev. G. E. Leister, pastor of
Ewell's7St. Paul Methodist Church,
that a campaign which will reach
all members of the local congrega-
tion is now in progress. Object of
the campaign is two-fold: to better
acquaint the church members with
the work of the Methodist denom-
intion's World Service; and to give
each one an opportunity to share
regularly in humanitarian work
around the world as well as to sup
port his church in its own local
and Conference responsibilities.
Last week, indicated the Rev. Leis-
ter, we mailed literature and let
ters to all of the membership. This
is preliminary to Victory Sunday,
May 4. Following that, each of
those members who were not able
to be present in church on Victory
Sunday, will be called on at home
by one of the visitation teams
which will be at work. "In this
manner we will reach our entire
in this important
campaign" The Rev. Mr.. Leister
indicated that Methodists gave ST.
672, ,359.89 last year to the mission
ary and general benevolence work
of the denomination around the
world.

found a picture that will never

tangle of thick short twigs and
stiff foliage had caught innumer-

Bright red berries, rich green
