This season is witnessing an unus
wal iliustration of the fundamental
unity among the Protestant Christ
ians of all denominations, including
all the larger omnes, have entered
upon a combined effort to enlist mil
lions more of the rank and file of
church members to do something to
propagate the Christian religion, in
addition to going to church them
selves and helping to pay the local
church expenses. The campaign is to
head up in March in a simultaneous
nation wide canvass rfor all mis:;im:sl
and benevolences on the part of all
churches of all denominations. The
men who have bheen studying !hu|
returns say that only about one third '
of Protestant church members h:n\l'g
vet begun to give anything to pl:x::l’
wew churches in needy places ml
America and among the non christ- |
ian nations of the world. This leave -'i
probably fourteen or fifteen millions |
of church members yet to be wnli.\'lwll
as givers. The organized personal
canvass is the method proving mos*
successful in getting many llmns;nuisl
of these people to be regular Hllh—'
scribers and givers. |
The promoters of this effort, which |
goes under the name of the “Unite l|
Missionary Campaign,” point out the
fact that scarcely one half of the
adult population of America are mem
bers of any church. The protestant
churches have about twenty throe
millions of members in the aggregate,
and the Roman Catholic church re
ports about thirteen millions includ
ing all baptised children. This leaves
about thirty five million people over
10 years of age who are not members
of any church, Included in this un
churched population are multitudes
of foreign speaking people, speaking
scores of different languages. There
is, therefore, plenty of room for ag
grssive Home Missionary work on
the part of all churches.
It is a time of unusual opportuni
ty to propagate Christianity among
non Christian nations. The foreign
missionary work carried on for the
past hundred years has been one of
the principal causes of the great
changes now taking place in Turkey

There are at present 24,000 men
land women missionaries at work on
Ith foreign field, they have built up
a church of nearly three millions of
members, and are receiving into the
church nrearly 200,000 persons per
var, this number could probably be
doubled if there were workers enough
In view of theseé great needs the
“United Missionary Campaign,” is
sending out teams of speakers to
hold conferences in as many cities as
possible. Already twenty four teams
of speakers have been put on the
road and they intend to hold over
five hundred conferences by March.
All of them are for the purpose of
informing church people of the cry
ing need of missionary work at home
;a.nd abroad.
- One of these conferences will be
held in Marietta on January 29 ani
30, all church people are invited o
attend as it will be non denominatio
nal.
The call is ecoming to the church
today as truly as it did to Peter in
Joppa.
AN EDITOR'S SIDE ISSUE.
“I wouldn’t think that publishing
a newspaper in a little town like this
would have enough in it to pay a
man very much, especially if he had
a family,” said the commercial tra
veler, who had fallen into conversa
tion with the editor and owner of
the Beanville Blast.
“Well, it wouldn't have if a man
had to depend on the paper alone,”
was the reply. ‘‘But, then I have a
number of side issues. My wife
keeps boarders and runs a milliner
shop, and in the summer time she
serves tea to auto parties and does a
little plain sewing to sort o’ help
out. Then I repair bicycles and do
something along the line of doctor
ing sick horses and 1 keep fifty or
sixty hens and canvass for three or
four magazines. Then I am justice
of the peace and a notary publiec,
and I do something along the line of
fire insurance, and I repair umbrel
las; and with two or three more lit
tle side issues like that, 1 manage to
keep the Blast going, with the heln
of a little job printing.’’—Exchange.

THE MARIETTA JOURNAL AND COURIER
THE ELOQUENCE OF CASH.
It is an old truism that “money
talks” and everybody understands
its meaning. Heretofore we have
often made mention of pleasant lit
tle compliments paid the paper in
letters and have appreciated them
highly because praise is a great in
centive to better achievement as weil
as a reward of merit. We have alzo
mentioned a few instances in which
subscribers have paid for severzl
years in advance even when no con
test was on. Recently we have no
ticed, however, that the plain far
mers who come in to renew their
subscription very often pay two doi
lars where only one would do. That
is they move their dates a year
ahead. Some who were two years ho
hind send us three dollars and one
lady brought in a check for $4, un
der the impression that the paper
was $2 a year, smiled pleasantly
when told she was mistaken and
said: “Oh well just move my date up
four years, we surely want the paper
as long as we live.”
Now is the time to get busy with
renewals for the paper because the
time is short until the contest cloges.
We are still giving pictures of the
president’s family on the lawn of
their summer hv:mn.r, These will al
ways be of historie interest and wil!
ornament any room in which they
are hung. Remember we are giving
the pictures and the ballots both and
now is the time to help your favorite
child in the pony contest. Also it
is still in order to send a Marietta
Journal for 1914 as a present to a
friend or relative at a distance. A
weekly paper from one’s old home is
a treasure indeed—almost as good as
a long letter from a member of the
family.
