Upward of $2,500,000 will be spent by the Episcopal church on educa tional projects during the next three years, according to plans which are announced in connection with the every-member canvass of the mem bership of the church on Novem ber 26. The triennial budget adopted by the recent general convention here, provides for an expenditure of $12, 600,000 on missionary, educational and social work to which thn ihnrrh is already committed. To this budget'' xiie tunveniion attued a forward pro gramme involving an additional ex penditure of $8,400,000, of which over $3,000,000 will be snent on d,-- uated educational projects In this country. Under the forward church for the first time acknowl edges Its corporate obligation to ward the five distinctly Episcopal colleges? Kenyon, Hobart. the Uni versity of the South. Trinity and St. Stephens for each of which an item of $10,000 Is included in tHe budget, white the forward programme also includes items of many hundreds of thousands for increased equipment, new buildinsrs, etc, for these five In stitutions. Similarly, In addition to providing for St. John's and the ether universities and colleges which ,the church maintains in China and Japan and Its schools in the Philip pines, Mexico and continental United States, including the 12 normal and industrial schools which are main tained In the south by the American ;Ohurch Institute for Negroes, plan are. outlined for the creation of wtiher new schools and the enlarge ment and development of existing tchools In the various dioceses throughout th . Plana for a vast broadening of JJplscopal activities at the great fctate and national secular univer sities have also been formulated. At ii " juuii,iica n ! 1 1 1 coin- workers will be located for special work among the undergraduates. Additional sums are provided for scholarships for candidates for the ministry, foi" week-day religious In struction of public school children, for summer classes, for church boarding schools, etc. A bulletin issued in connection with the forward programme calls attention to the fact that 37,000.000 of the young people of the country "are receiving no systematic instruc tion in the moral and religious sanc tions on which our democratic in stitutions rest. The last thing that the average American would be will ing to confess," says the bulletin, "is that America is a godless country, or that she is developing a wholly irreligious population. From the highest ,to the lowest we piously take our oaths upon the Bible, we have chaplains for our religious bodies, but of the teachings of Christ involving the ideals of brotherhood and of responsibility to God. we have but little knowledge. These 37,000,000 young people will be the fathers and the grandfathers that will make America, their eons and grandsons will teach other eons and grandsons. Are we to go on God less and careless? Do we think for one minute that we will not pay in a material way for our neglect of these children of today?" ; xha bulletin declares that the church must face the problem. No financial drive is contemplated for securing the funds necessary to realize the church's plan contem plated in this $21,000,000 triennial programme. The appeal will be made to the members and adherents of the Episcopal church alone, the campaign of instruction-to this end being now under way. November 26 the every-member canvass will be conducted, in the course of which every listed member of the church in rural sections and mountain dis tricts as well as in all the cities and towns of the .country will be visited personally by canvassers, and be asked to pledge by weekly, monthly or yearly payment what he or she feel able to contribute toward real izing the $6,000,000 necessary for the plans for 1923. The message of the Portland community chest with special ref erence to the church people of this city will be presented today and next Sunday from scores of pulpits, the Federation of Churches havingJ given me project its unquaiuiea in dorsement, and the pastors having shown by their sympathetic and ae tice service in the plans preliminary to the chest drive that they intend to lend their full support to the movement. During the past week several groups of ministers have paid visits to some of the beneficiary institu tions of thje chest, and in every in stance they have expressed them selves delighted with the work be ing accomplished, and spoke es pecially of the fine spirit of the workers. J. J. Handsaker, chair man of the church committee of the speaker's bureau of the chest, said of the first visit: "Of course I am interested in the success of the Portland community chest, for through it Portland at tempts to answer the claims of our thousands of children- whom I saw in the near east last year. "But this morning I ,have a new enthusiasm for the community chest. Yesterday. I saw It in action. With a number of pastors I visited two of the beneficiaries. w "First we went " to the Jewish settlement house, Second and Wood streets, where I found a highly trained, capable executive, a woman whose heart and soul were aflame with enthusiasm for her task. "We visited St. Rose's Industrial school at 167 Dekum avenue. Here we found members of the order of the Sisters of the Good Shepherd, a sisterhood formed In the 17th cent ury to care for delinquent girls." Rev. Edward Constant, pastor of the Highland Congregational church, comments upon the community chest as follows: "All should be vitally interested in this project. The chest affords opportunity to practice - principles distinctly fraternal and religious. It gives a chance to forget our dif ferences by means of co-operative benevolence. The chest's work is unifying, philanthropic, protecfive, curative and preventive. "How much value can we at tach to religion if it is deficient in love for humanity? He who prays Thy will be done' and stops there makes his prayer a form of pious profanity. We must go the length of the petition live as we pray. "The chest has proved its worth. The method is practical, democratic, Christian. It furnishes a community task. This is a God-given oppor tunity of service for all. It should be met generously, cheerfully. Is it a duty? Yes, but make it a privi lege. "Remember whence comes the ap peal: From helpless infants, or phan children, sick and unfortunate, as well as aged people smitten in life's conflict. A long-distance cry also comes from starving and dying ones In the stricken lands of the near east. "Some of these calls are heart rending. Shall they go unheeded? Can we resist the cries of distressed brothers? .No. no. Then all hands get busy to fill the ckest." Letters are being received by Ore gon ministers this week from the Federal Council of Churches urging concerted action ..jn. petitioning Washington for action in the near east situation. A message has just been received by J. V. Palmer, sec retary of the Portland council.
