FINDS
CHURCH
SEEKING FUNDS
Contributions Wanted' for Re
construction Work in France
and Belgium. -
1
Because the Friends church has set its
hand to a task so great and difficult
that a part of the church, cannot ac
complish it, an "Every Member Move
ment" has been organized throughout
the nation in which it ia" planned to en
list the aid of every . Friend, . whether
old or young. ( x ' - . i
The work undertaken is a gigantic re
construction plan in devastated: France
and Belgium and ' missionary work
throughout the world, i This work is
threatened with partial failure, j accord
ing to the central committee, through
lack of support from Friends. The time
between now and Christmas has been
set apart as a period when in each meet
ing, the- need a of ', the ; non-Christian
world shall receive consideration.
The financial end of the movement
calls for the raising, of between $70,000
and $80,000 before the end of March to
complete the $150,000 fund needed for
the support of the 65 Friends mission
aries and their work during the past
year and a half. Uuless this fund is
raised in full, ; the work on each field
will suffer, according to the committee's
report. The financial-obligations can be
met if each member in the denomination
gives a dollar.
In an effort to carry this plan to a
successful culmination leading members
and the clergy are presenting different
angles of the work from the pulpit each
Sunday. An offering for this work is
to be taken on Christmas Sunday - in
every Friends church in the nation.
New Era Movem'ent
Of Church Is Topic
The 'New Era", movement of the
Presbyterian church will be Rev. O. B.
ponhing's topic at the morning ser
vfcs at Central Presbyterian church.

connection with reconstruction work
following the war. In the evening Mr.
Forming will speak on "Man and Super

United Effort Will Be Made to Relieve
From Starvation ,400,000 Orphans
In Asia j Minor; 'i Need Is
Greater This Year.
MERICAN Sunday schools will hold a "White" Christmas-aeain this
' year and are now planning to make a united effort to relieve and
save from starvation the 400)00 orphans in Bible lands. The Na
tional Sunday School' War council, representing the denominations
and the International Sunday School
Sunday schools in North America give
sufferers in Bible lands.
Last year 30.000 Sunday schools con
tributed $1,000,000. The ravages of the
war have greatly increased the need, so"
that the whole of" Asia Minor is
threatened with starvation. The board
says $30,000,000 must be raised, $2,000,
000" of which is -requested from the Sun
day schools of North America.
Will Give Instead
Instead of each child receiving a pres
ent from the church this -Christmas- ip
many scnoois mrougnoui tne iana a
Bible will be placed on a table in front
of the room and the children will march
up to this table and deposit their gifts
on the , open book for those 1 not so
fortunate as they are.
Sunday school leaders throughout the
nation are enthused with the privilege of
assisting the unfortunate in other
lands and the national committee has
adopted the following resolution : That
In so far as it does not conflict with
plans already adopted by the churches,
the Sunday schools of the United States
and Canada be urged to continue their
(contributions for the relief of suffering
orphans in Bible lands, by means of of
erings taken at the Christmas season,
or at some appropriate Sunday in Janu
ary, Bucb as the Georgian Christmas, as
may be consistent with the program and
policy of the denomination, and that the
goal of this campaign be $2,000,000."
Last Sunday Visitation Bay.
The central committee says: .'"Five
dollars will support an orphan for one
month, $60 will maintain It for .a year.
These children are the future hope , of
western Asia." ,-
Last Sunday was observed as Sunday
school visitation day throughout the na
tion, and "four-minute" speakers ad
dressed thousands of schools and laid
the plan of a "White" Christmas before
the scholars and their teachers. ',
Here is some of the 'evidence" of the
need in Bible, lands as given by the In

of Mkrcyo
People
association, has recommended that al
a Christmas season offering to these
rians' in Turkey have perished during
the past two years from massacre, de
portatlon, exposure, starvation and dis
ease. Over 4.000,000 are now homeless
and In dire distress. One millin are
accessible, for relief of whom 400,000 are
orphans. Little children scarcely able
to feed themselves live absolutely alone
in . deserted homes. The surrender of
Turkey brings thousands more of these
suffering people within reach of relief
agents. Five dollars a month' will save
a life." .
Concerning the nef In Bible lands
President Wilson has said : "American
diplomatic and consular representatives
and other American residents recently
returned from western Asia assure me
that, many thousands of lives were saved
from starvation by the"gifta ofAmerican
people last winter. They also bring full
assurance of the continued effective dis
tribution of relief and report that the
suffering and death from exposure and
starvation will . inevitably be much
greater this winter than last unless the
survivors can be helped by further con
tributions from America. The
situation is so distressing as to make
a special appeal to the sympathies of
all.'.' ,
