Mrs. James McElwee Is Dead in Augusta Her Death Comes After That of Husband (Special to The Bulletin) SAVANNAH, Ga.—With 203,291 coupons collected to date in its cam paign for one million, the Catholic Missionary Society of Georgia, Mrs. J, J. McManus, president, is entering the last lap of the race which it was hoped would bring the society five thousand dollars for the missions of the Diocese. Although the objective appears to be beyond the reach of the campaign in the month that is left, the society is makng renewed and vigorous efforts to bring the to tal to as high a point as possible, for the amount of money to be secured for the missions will be regulated by the number of coupons secured. Savannah leads in the number of coupons collected, with 103,017, and Macon, with 46,358, is second in total, but first in proportion to her Catholic population, In honor for which Al bany, with 12,848, is also a strong con tender. Columbus has sent in 12,071, Atlanta 11,997. Augusta 8,010, and mis cellaneous 2770. The record of the missions in addition to Albany is Milledgeville 4,395, Rome 1,765, and Brunswick 60. Mrs. Huhn, secretary of the Macon committee .reports that the local or ganization there is buying Octagon soaD products at wholesale rates, re tailing it, retaining the profit for par- sh school purposes and sending the coupons to the Missionary Society; the coupons are collected when de livery is made. In Savannah the different Parent- Teacher Societies are distributing leaflets furnished by the Missionary Society to the parochial school chil dren, the leaflets to be signed bv the parents of the children who indicate the amount of products they will take. These leaflets are then turned in ai the school. In instances, whole cases of soap have been ordered by priests’ houses, convents and families. The P.-T. A. keeps the profit between the buying and selling price and turns the cou pons over to the Missionary Society. The campaign is concentrating dur ing December in Octagon toilet soap because the coupon counts double and when attached with four others to a bonus card, furnished by the Mission ary Society and secured also from other sources, each has a five coupon value. After December 31 the value will decrease. Octagon and Kirkman soap products, Borden’s Milk and Luzianne Coffee and Tea coupons are all good in the campaign. The Missionary Society hopes to haev at least 300,000 coupons at the end of the month and has issued a special plea to its friends and to the schools and pupils to make an extra effort during these remaining days.

O O TO LECTURE IN SOUTH | 'o o 40 Hours Devotion Held in Cathedral DAVID GOLDSTEIN David Goldstein to Lecture in South Noted “Lay Apostle” to Open at St. Augustine—Theodore Dorsey His Assistant AUGUSTA, Ga. — David Goldstein, the well known “lay apostle to the streets,” is coming into the South to address the people in the streets, squares and parks from his unique papal-colored broadcasting car. He will be assisted in this work by Theo dore H. Dorsey, of Baltimore, a con vert from the Protestant Episcopal Church seminary. Their work will begin in St. Augus tine, Fla., on Sunday, January 8 and 9, and continue through the Dioceses of St. Augustine, Mobile and Ral- leigh, where the bishops have given the work their hearty approbation. These meetings in St. Augustine will mark the beginning of the second lap of the nation-wide series of open air meetings, which began in Boston in June, 1931. During the past sixteen and a half months, Mr. Goldstein and his assistant have addressed an aver age of twenty meetings a month along the concrete in Oklahoma, Louisiana, Texas, Florida, Oregon, Washington, Iowa and other western and middle states. They traveled over thirty- five thousand miles in their lecture car during the first lap of their coun try-wide lecture journey. This attractive lecture car is deco rated with a crucifix and flags to symbolize the cause it represents, God and country. Inside the rear part of this open lecture car there is a com partment fitted with batteries, a dynamo, microphones and other ma chinery for the electrical transmis sion of the speaker's voices. Through three horns raised on a 12-foot mast the voices are amplified so as to be heard a considerable distance. “We have received a couteous hear ing everywhere,” Mr. Goldstein says, “even in so-called anti-Catholic com munities, except on the Plaza of Sac ramento, Calif., where the Commun ists manifested their preference for Mocsow, rather than Rome. This re spectful hearing is due largely to our determination to offer not the slight est offense to those persons who are unfavorable to things Catholic. While campaigning for Christ we endeavor to the best of our ability to proclaim the teachings of our Church frankly but always in a Christian spirit.” “Campaigning for Christ is positive ly proclaiming what Catholics believe. “Campaigning for Christ is a Cath olic educational work of an exposi tory rather than a controversial char acter. “Campaigning for Christ is boldly, yet courteously setting forth the prin cipals, history and practices of the Catholic Churc# “Campaigning for Christ is an ap peal for all of us to live the Christian life to the best of our knowledge and ability. “Champaigning for Christ is answer ing questions—be they of an inquir ing, controversial or hostile character —in a spirit that wins the respect, if not always the assent, of all classes of persons. “Campaigning for Christ wins for it is always pro-Christian and pro- American.” On the applications for meetings sent to pastors the Catholic Truth Guild of Boston, the sponsors of this apostolate to the man in the street, says that no charge whatever is made for the services of the speak ers. All that is asked is the selection of the street, square park or private ground where an audience may be assembled and addressed from the lecture car; that the affair be given publicity by the use of the advance news copy that is furnished, and that a committee be selected to help the sale of “The Campaigners For Christ Handbook,” which Mr. Goldstein has written to advance the work. Appli cations for meetings must be sent to the Chancery Offices in the Dioceses where meetings are held.
