K How much should I give
to make this a better world?
A
C E R T A I N man in N e w York filled out hia
income tax report.
It showed an income so large that his tax was
53%. A n d h ia to ta l g ifts to church and c h a r•
i t y f o r th e y e a r w e re $148.
Think of it— thousands spent for luxuries and
pleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the world
r little better than he found it I
Moet of us do better than that; but not so very
much better.

Our average daily gift for all church causes is
■— Iran

than
w e spend for daily papers
a local telephone caul
a third o f the day’s car fare
3 cents a day
N o wonder that 801 of the ministers of America
are paid less than $20 a week. N o wonaer that
the church hospitals turn aw ay thousands of sic«
people a year. N o wonder that China has only
tme doctor for every 400,000 people. N o wander
that every church board and charity society is
forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat.
It isn't because w e are selfish; it isn’t because We
don't want to help. It's just because no one has ever put
up a great big program to us, and asked us to think ot the
work o f the church in a systematic businesslike way.
The Interchurch W o rld Movement represents the united
program o f thirty denominations. T h e y have surveyed
their whole task, no business could have done it better
T h e y have budgeted their needa; no business coulo have
um ore scientific budget. T h e y have un ted to prevent the
possibility of waste and duplication. A t leasi a million d<i-
lars w ill be saved by the fact tnat thirty indiv^uui ci.ii>-
paitrna are joined in one united effort.
And they come to the men or women w ho love America
—- to you — thia week asking you to use them as the chaiv
nel through which a certain definite part of your income
can be be applied to make th<a a better w oild.
