Think of it thotatands spent for luxuries and pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world a little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes to leas than we spend for daily papers Jess than a local telephone call Jess than a third of the day's enr faro Hess than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80S of the ministers of America are paid lest than $20 a week. No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat. It fon't because we are selfish ; It isn't because we don't wsnt to help. It's just because no one has ever put p a creat big program to us, and asked us to think of tho work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have a more scientific budget. They havo united to prevent tha possibility of waste and duplication.
