CENTENARY WEEK
CENTENARY COLLECTIONS DUR
ING THE CURRENT YEAR
SHOW GOOD INCREASE OVER
PREVIOUS YEARS.
NASHVILLE, , Tenn., Dec. 31.—
..Commending the Centenary World
Week, set for January 13-20, and the
Pay-Out Period, January 20 to Feb¬
ruary 1, the College of Bishops of the
M. E. Church, South, in their recent
meeting held in San Antonio, Texas,
December 14-17, adopted strong res
olutions in favor of the Centenary
movement.'
The report and plans of the cen¬
tenary commission were presented
before the College of Bishops by Rev.
W. G. Cram, D. D., directing secre¬
tary of the centenary commission;
and the financial statement by Col.
■e.
John E. Edgerton, general treasurer.
The bishops found cause fop re¬
joicing in the fact that the centenary
collections during the current year
showed a substantial increase over
the two preceding years, they be
lieved this fact indicated the vital in¬
terest which the membership of the
church feels in carrying to completion
the whole centenary program.
Recalling the fact that the centen¬
ary programs and plans were inaug¬
urated by a period of prayer, the
bishops particularly commended the
Centenary World Week, set apart for
January. 13-:20 as a time for prayer
and study of world needs. They urg¬
ed that the plan of personal visitation
and solicitation be followed in the
collection of the pledges during the
period of the eight day centeriary
drive, January 20 to February 1.
