Mission Program Faces Crisis

National Council Appeals to Loyalty of the Church, Asks Emergency Offering on or Before Whitsunday, May 15th.

HE sum needed is $400,000. This is to be applied to missionary work at home and abroad, so that the Budget, already cut to a point that threatens disaster, may be balanced for the final six months of 1932. Figures, however, do not reveal the gravity of the situation. More than three thousand consecrated men and women stand heavy-hearted as they fear wreckage of their hopes.

Shall the work of God, built in the name of this Church through tedious sacrificial years, be continued in the future; shall it merely mark time? Or shall it stop?

The alternative is clear. The resolution o£ Emergency Call National Council grimly puts it thus: C£Be it further resolved: That the National Council T h e P residing B ishop has notif)^ the Church that if such offering is not forth­ called a special meeting of the coming, further drastic reductions in the work, in­ House of Bishops to be convened cluding possible withdrawals from specific fields, will in Garden City, Long Island, on be necessary.” Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs­ day, April 26, 27 and 28.
