'pHIRTY denomination of the Church are uniting in
May 2U'taneous Pa'gn in the week of April 25th-
They are 'uniting because the task before the Church is
too great for any one denomination; because there must be
no duphcation of effort; no waste.
These churches know that the world needs many things
but it needs Faith most of all
They know tJiat there can be no final solution of our
economic problems that is not a spiritual solution, based '
on the teachings of Jesus Chiist and His Golden Rule.
They have had the courage to survey the whole task,
. ana to ask ;for a budget large enough to sustain (l) the
- work abroaI, (2) the work at home including the church's
aUZ "k"26 task of Americanization, (3) the colleges ,
ana (y hrspitals supported by the Churches, (5) the reli
gious training of the young, and to provide (6) a living
wag, for the Church's ministers.
JAie budget is large in the aggregate; yet
f i each person who loves America would
increase his contribution by pn?y a few
dollars the whole junount would be
easily subscribed. :

must notice that comment on the

The Normal is doing a good work
and with its"supply of teachers is
applying a need that is keenly felt
over the state. But irrespective of
its merits, it appears to us that a
feeling of local pride should induce
Monmouth people to give the mil
lage bill a unanimous support on
election day. The Normal is a part
of us and we help ourselves by help

fact that they don't have to foot
John Bull's booze bill will in spite

winners. The so called moral ele

to take too much credit for the dry
nation. ; For years the railroads
have forbidden alcoholic drinks to
their employes. It is a long time
since any one could hold an import

commercial world has realized that
the drink habit interfered with bus

With a boozy Britain pitted airainst

only one answer. It is an answer
that will be so plain that the whole
