Four hundred thousand dollars

000 Emergency Fund :" the Episcopal
Broad of Missions is calling the
members of that church to prayer
and asking that each one give at.
least one day's income or some equi-
valent selhienlal offering. Through
the agency of the Mission Board, the
various provinces, dioceses and par-
ishes of the church, an attempt is
being made to bring this appeal to
ing in addition to their usual gifts
for missions. Every organization in
the church—~vestries, men’s clubs,
guilds, Woman’s Auxiliary, Bible
classes and Sunday schools—is work-
ing to make each one feel the per-
sonal responsibility of this appeal.
Connecticut. under the leadership
of Bishop Brewister and the Connec-
ticut Missionary Committee, is going
to assume its share in the campaign.
Extensive plans have been made
throughout. the state, preliminary
meetings held, and much literature
distributed. Next Sunday is the day
‘ appointed by the bishop for taking up
this special offering. There will be
a general exchange of pulplts by the
Episcopal ministels on that day and
missionary sermons will be preach-
ed. Other diocese are pursuing simi-
lar plans-notably, Pittsburgh, Beth
lehem and Newark.
The need for this fund arises part-
ly from the stringency due to the
European war and partly from the
success of the church s mission work
-—ospeclaily in China and Japan. Op-
portunities in those lands have first
been created apd then seized by the
missionariesuppd the Board of Mis-
sions has had to steadily increase its
npplopriations) for the w;ork the
same is true in great degree in the
home land. V
The board is bold enough to fry
the faith of the church by launching
this appeal in these unsettled times
because“ it believes that the Europ-
ean situation “creates one of the de-
cisive hours in Christian missions. it
Is the call to advance. And the
boldness seems justified by the 1e~
spouse which the church is making
attracted by the definiteness of the
ca'iL for one day's income and are ris-
ing loyally to the emergency.
thar stimulus comes from the
Church of England which, in spite of
' the exactlona of war, is given‘great-
or some for missions than ever be-
fore. .
ire “Emergency Comm” which
has the direction of this campaixn. is
composed of men prominent In
church, business arid professional
life—Bishop Lines, of Newark, chair-
man; Bishops Greer, of New York,
Rhinelcndor, of Pennsylvania, and
Thomas. of Wyoming; Rev.“ Drs.
Sedgvflck, Stires. Alsop, of New York
city. and Niel ofHartford; Messrs.
George Wharton Pepper, of Philadel-
phia, Burton Mansfield, New Haven,
William F. Cochran, George Gordon
King and John W. Wood, all of New
York city.
The Episcopal Churches in this city
are taking an active interest in this
effort. At both Trinity and St. Paul’s,
the offering at the services next Sun'
day will be for missions and the rec-
tors will have appropriate sermons.
It is understood that at a inter-date
Grace Church will do something.
The Bishop of the Diocese, Bishop
Brewster. will pay the local parishes
his annual visitation for confirmation
also next Sunday. He will be at St.
Paul's in the, morning, Grace in the
afternoon and Trinity in the evening.
