18 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1923 METHODISTS IN MISSION DRIVE Will Try to Raise $4,000,000 by November 1 Important messages from over-seas were given to the Methodist congrega- tions last Sunday including cabled ap- peals from various corners of the world for missionary help to the office of the 'Committee on Conservation and Advance of the Methodist Episcopal church, 740 Rush street, Chicago, where every avail- able resource of the denomination is be- ing thrown into a campaign to raise $4,000,000 before November 1 for the support of churches, schools, evange- listic effort and social service at home and abroad. Messages were received from Bishop F. B. Fisher, Calcutta, India; Bishop E. S. Johnson, Cape Town, amount larger than is raised this year. Hence any shortage this year is reflected in a proportionate curtailment in next year's activities. "Home missionary work is prospering in both the congested city districts, in country fields, in mining and lumber camps, and in the territories of the United States. Today our Board of Home Missions and Church Extension assists in the support of 3,000 pastors in rural and frontier fields, among Ne- groes, foreign-speaking populations, and in other needy communities: in one year aids in erection of 1,107 building projects ; and ministers in many other ways. On 'the foreign field, our schools, kinder- gartens, colleges, hospitals, churches, dispensaries, Bible classes and other in- stitutions are crowded to the doors, and hundreds are turned away. Thousands are awaiting eagerly for Christianity, but we cannot minister to them as we have not the workers to care for them. 'South Africa; Bishop G. H. Bickley, Singapore, Straits Settlements; Bishop EF. T. Keeney, Foochow, China; Bishop F. W. Warne, Lucknow, India; and Bishop H. I. Smith, Bangalore, India. From Bishop Fisher came this appeal: "India stands at the door and knocks. Christ bids her enter. Will you open the closed door?" Bishop Smith cables; "South India expenses have been reduced as much as possible. In order to re- duce budget 25 per cent more fifty per cent of the work must be abandoned, and permanent loss will be great." Bishop Keeney sends this message: "Retreat is unthinkable. Church should match sacri- ficial deeds with sacrificial dollars." ~The cabled appeals come just as the Methodist Centenary, a five-year, $100,- 000,000 world missionary prograri, in- "augurated at the end of the war, comes to a close and the World Service opens.

The rule of the church forbids ap- | propriating for the ensuing year an "The greatest force of constructive in- | ternationalism and world peace today is ' Christian missions. The 4,000,000 mem- | bers of the Methodist Episcopal church will not permit the work at home and abroad to suffer." Last year Dr. Ehnes, on the final day of the campaign--October 31--deposited what was said to have been the largest deposit ever made by a church in a single day--$1,250,000. October 31 of this year he expects to beat that record. Always "Open House" at This Automobile Club The North Shore Branch of the Illi- nois Automobile club, through its man- , ager, P. F. Lowder, has issued an in- vitation to every motorist, from South Evanston to the north Cook county line, to visit the new club headquarters at 1722 Sherman avenue, Evanston. "This branch was installed express- ly for the north shore motorists," said Mr. Lowder, "and we want them all to visit us and see what we have to offer to make life easier and happier for the person who owns or drives an automo- bile.

Railway Terms Defined STATEMENTS OF RAILWAY OPERATIONS are often misunderstood and frequently misquoted on the public platform and in published articles. The following information is given to assist in securing a clearer under- standing of the terms employed in stating the results of railway operations: C. & N. W. Ry. RAILWAY OPERATING REVENUE: by the railway for transportation services, including freight, passenger, express and other allied services. This consists of all revenue received mail, nm » * . ce ~ This also includes revenue arising from storage, demurrage and other activities incident to the performance of trans- portation, in fact, all revenue growing out of the transportation activities of a railway. RAILWAY OPERATING EXPENSES are those expenses incurred in con- nection with the performance of transportation services, including mainten- ance of fixed property, locomotives and cars, together with the expenses of wages, fuel, material and supplies necessary for the movement of traffic, but not including taxes or payments for the use of other companies' equipment and property used jointly. NET REVENUE FROM RAILWAY OPERATION is the railway oper- ating revenue, defined above, less the railway operating expenses. NET RAILWAY OPERATING INCOME is the net revenue from railway operation less taxes, uncollectible revenue, 'payments for use of other com- panies' equipment and facilities used jointly. This is the amount which the railway company realizes from its transportation activities, and is available for the payment of rentals of leased lines and interest on indebtedness; the remainder, if any, may be carried to surplus or applied to dividends. REASONABLE RETURNS: The T I'ransportation Act requires the Interstate Commerce Commission to ascertain the value of railway property and name a reasonable rate of return upon the same. 534 per cent. sion to be 100 million dollars and whose * This rate they have fixed at A railroad, whose value has been ascertained by the Commis- 'net railway operating income" is 534 million dollars annually, is receiving the reasonable return of 534 per cent upon its property, as fixed by the Commission. The net revenue from railway operation should not be confused with net --.~>alway operating income. The necessity of this is apparent when it is real- ized that the net revenue from the railway operation of all Class 1 railways in the United States in the year 1922 was $1,144,051,185, while the net rail- way operating income was but $759,945,517, a Aifference of $385,105,668. All the railroads in the United States are required by law to make reports under oath of their activities to the Interstate Commerce Commission, using the terms above which are prescribed by that Commission. are on file in the Commission's the public.
