ALARM! 1932 EARLY REPORTS for 1932 are tragic. Unless additional pledges come between now and February third, when the National Council is compelled to bring appropriations within income, in addition to every possible economy the following must be faced:

i — Missionary work abandoned or crippled.

1— Vacant posts unfilled. 3— Volunteers turned back. 4— Missionary salaries reduced. 5— Legacies used for operating expenses.

We know how hard many are working. Some have made real sacrifices.

Have you done your utmost? Send to your Bishop supplementary gifts or pledges prior to February ist.

Dioceses are making heroic efforts to complete pay 1931 ment on the $1,070,296 reported due on December first. Present indications are alarming, but there is still hope that the 1931 bills can be paid.
