NATION-WIDE CANVASS OF PROTESTANT CHURCHES BEGINS TODAY
Presbyterian New Era Movement Budget Calls For Pledges of $23,000,000 for 9800 Churches in the United States How the Money Will Be Expended.
,
TODAY marks the opening of the
- simultaneous financial campaign
during which the 30 denomina
tions associated In the Interchurch
world movement will make a nation
wide canvass for the J336.777.572 t
which forms their 1920 goal. The
drive will continue throughout the
week and end on Sunday, May 2.
The campaign consists of two sepa
rate canvasses. The firs, and larger,
is . a canvass by denominations ex
clusively of their own memberships,
and of nonchurch members who have
been regular contributors to their
funds. The second will be an inter-
denominational canvass, through ma-
chlnery established by the inter
'church world movement, of non-
church members who have not been i
contributing regularly to any one
denomination. Funds secured through
rt he. second canvass may be assigned
ythe contributor to a particular
denomination, but if unassigned they
are to be prorated at the close of the
campaign between all the co-operating
churches on. a basis of their ask
ings from their own memberships.
Oregon's quota has been set at
$1,635,400. Of this amount $1,465,400
Is listed to come directly from the de
nominations and their regular con
tributors; $230,000 is the amount
asked of "friendly citizens." who
heretofore have not been contribut
es to church support. The friendly
citizens budget for Multnomah county
la $78,000.
Work Is for Humanity,
"In asking the non-church mem
Tiers for this sum," said Frank C.
Jackson, Oregon campaign director,
"the churches associated In the inter
church movement merely are saying:
Wis are going to raise over a million
dollars as our share of this gigantic
national fund which will provide
schoois and hospitals, medical atten
tion, for millions wno now are neg
lected, colleges for your boys and
girls as well as for ours. It is not
specifically church work, it la work
for humanity. It is your work as well
as ours. So" we are asking you to
put $230,000 with our $1,465,000 to help
this undertaking along.'"
Ir. A. J. Sullens, director for Ore
gon, for the Congregational new era
movement, one of the associated un
.icriibinirs. declares for the Inter
church campaign:
-The campaign represents a re
markable and powerful movement or
associated church forward move
mtts. This great combined forward
movement Is nothing less than a
united appeal to the nation for a fund
largo enough to press forward with
the complete comprehensive pro
gramme of the church Into the entire
world, beginning in America itself.
rThe entire campaign Is based on
ca'reful surveys, which disclose the
unfinished task of the church and
seek to relate the great denomina
tional movements to their fair share
of the responsibility for completing
the.. task. For the first time the
churches In co-operation are able to
say-with a large measure of assur
ance what the financial requirements
are to carry out such a programme.

ofTdenominations co-operating In the
campaign will start canvassing today

bers of each church assigned- to the
"friendly citizens" division will start

precede the drive.
Of the $23,000,000 asked for, the
Presbyterian board of foreign mis
slons and the Presbyterian woman s
board of foreign missions seek $7
319.303. The next board to benefit
the most is the Presbyterian board

be $4,612,249, exclusive of the Pres

Presbyterian colleges and acade
mies present the next most crying
need and the general board of edu
cation asks for these the sum of
$2,878,000, while Presbyterian theolog
ical seminaries seek $144,352. The
amount to aid disabled and infirm
ministers through the Presbyterian
" 'board of ministerial relief and susten

carried forward by the Presbyterian
board of publication and Sabbath

done at the comparatively small cost
of $491,450. Last year for this board
30 colporteurs carried the scriptures
into 60,000 homes, while seven for
eign language periodicals brought the
gospel message to many additional
families.
The 140 Presbyterian Sunday school
missionaries established 1117 schools
among the communities of the south,
negroes, foreigners and frontier com
munities. Many daily vacation bible

of the $23,000,000 budget. A slogan
of this board is: "A.manse for every
Presbyterian minister." Meetings are
ncld monthly at which sums are
granted or loans made for building
purposes.

present this board has 127 schools,
principally for children, and 28 board

Plans for the development of the
departments of family and juvenile
welfare, social hygiene, amusement
and recreation, defectives and delin

the six enlarged departments of the
Presbyterian board of temoer&nce

sum of $189,445 is alloted for this
board.
Service Men to Be Aided.
The Presbyterian general assem
bly's permanent committee of evan
gelism shares in the 1920-21 budget
to the extent of $90,000, while the
permanent committee on men's work
receives $52,090. The committee on
Sabbath " observance secures $57,500,
the American Bible society $175,000,
and there is allotted for lay workers'
training schools $44,697. j
It is estimated that during the war
nearly 250,000 Presbyterian men
served with the colors on land and
sea. At Ihe last Presbyterian general
assembly certain definite plans were
considered for the benefit of the serv
ice man upon his return to civil life.
Money was placed in the budget to
cover this work. -As a result, many
organizations for service men have
been formed in local churches and
former soldiers aided In various ways.
For the coming year $100,000 will be
spent for the continuation of this
work. The churches In Europe suf
fered severely as a result of the war,
and the Presbyterian church Is aiding
her afflicted sisters to the extent of
$200,000.
A fairly small Item in the budget
is the obligation listed for the ex
penses of the new era movement. This
consists of $652,079 for the obliga
tions of 1918-20 and $997,000 for
1920-21, The exact sum handed down
as the amount to be raised through
the various Presbyterian U. S. A.
churches is $2i.901.907. In addition,
the Presbyterian church is co-operating
with the Interchurch world move
ment to the extent of $22,098,030, mak
ing a total budget of $45,000,000 for
the Presbyterians.
Vacation Bible Schools.
Churches In many towns of Oregon
will this year condnct a daily vaca
tion Bible school for the children of
their community. This will rally the
children together for five weeks dur
ing the vacation season, for a dally
session, of at least two hours every
veek day. During the second hour
the children learn to make baskets,
hammocks, toys, woodwork. etc.,
while during the first hour singing.
nabit talks. Bible story, etc., provide
a very much needed instruction. In
most instances a paid staff of teach
ers will conduct the school, while in
otners a principal with volunteer
workers will render this service to
all tho children. This work can best
be done by all the churches uniting
in the effort to render this service to
all the children. Information to aid

r-'nrewelt Reception to Chicago
Pastor and Wife Given at First
Presbyterian Church.
X which Dr. Howard Agnew John
ston will spend with the First Pres
byterian church. Dr. Johnston came
November 1 to serve as pulpit supply
until the church secured a regular
pastor. He Is not contemplating the
acceptance of a permanent pastorate,
but for several years has given his
time to general work and the supply
ing of vacant pulpits. The Immedi
ate occasion of his coming to Port
land last fall was the desire to have
a less severe winter for Mrs. John
ston than that usually experienced
in Chicago. The fact that the Port
land church was without a pastor led
to the temporary arrangement which
has continued, for six months, and has
proved a most delightful experience
for both minister, and people.
Thursday evening the members of
the Fjrst church gave a farewell re
ception to Dr. and Mrs. Johnston, at
which time a special welcome was
extended to the 137 persons who have

ing Dr. Johnston's term of -service.

church without a regular pastor. Dr.
Johnston has been much in demand,

gene and Corvallis, at Reed College
