With that idea inmind. we know that your comâ€" munity will be very much interested in the program which we will offer this summer. With the many vital subjects before oul’ people, the Chautauqua at the present time. from the standpoint of service, has a definite mission to per- form whic’h no other institution can supply. According to the present. arrange- ments of routing, the approximate date of your Chautauqua will be July 3rd. We will, hOWever, advise you the definite date as soon as possible. : The following letter from the Red- p'ath Chautauqua system to Edw. Pfafi, who is chairman of the local Legion committee which is backing the entertainments for a five day program here, speaks for itself. Mr. Edw. J. Pfatf, Downers Grove, Ill..

Iowa, a village of only 2,500 inhabitants raised $1000 this spring to support a base ball team. If Harlan. lowa, can raise an amount such as this on a proposition of that kind, we surely ought to be ‘nble to raise many times that amount for something that may pmve most‘ beneficial to any of us at most any time. A measely five dollar bill “1'" look pretty small beside a good fire. Let us estimate the amount that should be raised on an average of $5. 00 per family. I have been given to understand that our village supplies water to 825 meters in Downers and this means that there are approxi- mately 825 families which at $5.00 per family would mean $4.125. It seeems to me this amount should en-1 able the purchase of a very fair eâ€" ouipment. good a cause. Them may be some of course who cannot aflord this a- mouug but on the other hand there an mpny who can afford to give much more. .

No wonder that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No Wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is {ca-ever meeting deficits, forever pming the hat. It isn't because we are selfish; it isn't becauee we don‘t want to help. It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think ofthe work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. The Interchurch World novement repteaenta the united program of thirty denominatitma. They have surveyed their whole task, no busineae could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no busineea could have a more scientific budget. They luve united to prevent the pulsibility d waste and duplication At least a million dol- lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual carn- paigna are joinedin one united efiort.
