The present church-wide call for Southern Methodist is the $19,- 000,000 campaign for the superan nuate endowment fund for the benefit of the worn out preachers of the denomination, according to an announcement by Dr. Luther E. Todd, secretary of the Board of Fiaance of the Church. According to Dr. Todd, this cam paign, which began on Feb. 1, will take precedence over all other cam paigns of the church until July 1. Sunday March 16, has been designated as the day on which the Methodists throughout the South will be given an opportunity to make their subscriptions to this worthy cause. It is proposed to raise $10,000,- 000 throughout the connection dur ing the next five years. When col lected this amount will be used as an endowment fund to be applied to the relief of the wornout preach ers and the widows and orphans of preachers, insuring the preacher an average yearly income of s7oo, when his years of active service are jver. The Board of Finance of the church was created at the general conference .held in Atlanta in 1918 to perfect a plan for raising a permanent endowment fund for aged ministers. This plan was ap proved by the general conference at Hot Springs in 1922, and now to. be put into execution. Accord ing t<3 this plan each of the 1700 Metodist churches or congregations will raise a yearly amount during the next five years equal to one fifth of the salary now paid to its pastor and presiding elder. By following this plan says Dr. Todd, a total amount exceeding the $lO,- 000,000 called for will be available for an endowment fund.

It was pointed out that at the present date at which returns are being received, hundreds of Geor gians will be finable to file returns within the stipulated time, and due to the fast minute rush, wirl have to pay the penalty for delinquency. The delay of many taxpayers, it was stated, is due largely to a be lief that the proposed bill provid ing for a reduction_m -icome tax rates, will be passed by Congress before March 15. and that they will derive the benefit of the reductions under this law. It was explained that if the bill should become ef fective in time to reduce the rate on 1923 taxes, the amount paid in excess of the new rate will be re funded. A group of internal revenuse col lections are now touring the state to assist taxpayers in filing in come tax returns, it was stated. During the week of February 25, the collectors will visit Albany, Waycross, Gainesville, Decatur. Mil ledgeville. Athens, and other cities and towns throughout the state, it was announced.
