augurate next week the mot ef
fective efficiency campaign ever con
ducted by any church In Portland.
The object of this movement is not
to get new members. but rather to as
certain. in a systematic way. why a cer
tain ; number already enrolled do not
attend services and fake more Inter
est in church activities.
With the controversy involving th
old Taylor Street, and First M. K.
church practically settled. Dr. Iove
land. the pastor of the Hrst church,
decided that the time for an efficiency
. campaign such' as be has launched had
arrived.
Aided by his assistant, II. T. Greene,
he worked out a plan which he is cer
: tain will have the desired result.
- , - Autos Will Carry "Army."
: Automobiles will carry the "army'"
to liOinrH-and off iocs - or any other
f place where thf workers can find
.members of the First church who have
neplected to attcjid services.

The Fir. t: M. K. church haa a mem-
bcrship. of ' about ' 1600. and' of this i
number. SiW to lOoO attend Kunclay
luorningr services, with a greater 'at-
tendance Sunday evening. It is for ;
the purpose of getting the "stay-at-home"
ones out that lr. Loveland j
originated the efficiency campaign.
Every evening after the day's .
"round-up" the workers will be served j
with dinner "prepared in the church by!
the church women. After the reports j
have been tabulated and classified
the campaigners will adjourn to the'
church proper to hear a eeriea of Pas- ;
nion week lectures by Dr. Loveland.
The lectures are announced as foi- j
lows: i Tuesday,. "Christianity in
names," . Illustrated by 100 views of
Quo vadis; Wednesday, "The Conver
, elpn of General Lew Wallace," as il
lustrated by .his. great t book, "J3en
Hur; Thursday, "Divine Passion,"
with 50; views of the great Passion
play; Friidrf.y, "The Spread of Christi
anity,'! illustrated by views of the life
of Chifist. These lectures will be free
to the publie.
Statement for Members.
Dr. )Loveland has written for tomor
row's church bulletin, which is dis
tributed to the congregation, a strong
statement in connection with the cam
paign. It follows:
"Efficiency in church work i,s a
moderh necessity. Without -it churches
like cujrrency become depreciated. Dead
weights aeid uselews 'wheels' are as
bad -aSrbarnacIes. Unwise duplication
of '" Machinery- and energy is the
subtlest form of waste.
"Ef f lcienoy depends upon a sane sys
- tem, orderly organization, cordial co
operation and local loyalty. This
Passion week efficiency Campaign will
send J00 campaigners Jn 20 automo
biles to every home and office of First
church members in .Portland with a
plea for an 'every member enlistment
in me cause oi a Digger, oeiier aim i
brighter Methodism; for personal loy-I
alty to Christ and the church; for a
pledge of financial (support froih each;
for a pledge of attendance at Sunday
and midweek serviefcs and an enroll
ment in the Sunday school of workers
in tojne department of the church."
; Object of Campaign,
lie has also prepared for the bul
letin a' long list of questions which
he reqrlests the congregation to read
carefully. i
"I want t distinctly understood."!
said Dr. Loveland today, "that this!
campaign waa not started to get new ,
members, The sole object is to awak- j
en interest in the members who remain j
away from the church and take no;
. active .part in the work, it will be a '
question of come 'to church or get out. I
The efficiency of all the churches, in
Portland is remarkably small. We arc
froing to increase ours. I ;teel certain
that this . campaign will do it."
