TILE 1!X11.ssT}ION S','. CHURCH COWES
as MINISTERS $2,500,000
On Sunday last in the Methodist
churches on the Exeter District the
services in connection with the For-
ward Campaign were ea the interests
of retired Methodist clerylnen. A
program had been, provided whereby
laymen.. were to occupy the different
pulpits. Owing to the severe weather
this program was not carried out in
all cases. Mr. W G. Medd occupied
Main St. ,pulpit in the morning and
James St. church in the evening. Mr.
Thos. Harvey spoke in Main St,
church in the evening.
Mr. Medd said he was grateful to
the Almighty for the preservation of
his property and all that he beld
dear through the granting of victory
to the allied armies. Had .Germany

been granted through the prayers
of the people. With the return ' of
peace the Church had, launched a
great Forward Movement, If the
work was of God he wanted to have
a share in it. If it were not he wan-
ted to get out of it. Hs appealed to
the people to make the movement
a success. At the conclusion of a
forceful address, Mr.'Medd touched
on the superannuation fund., r
The Superannuation Fund was
asking for $1,500,000 to endow its
work so amt it wuuld be puseibie to
fulfil the church's objective to the
men who had spent their lives in
the service, This sum could not be
obtained unless the people contribu-
ted generously toward the Forward
Movement.
Dependent en the Superannuation
Fund were 800 persons. Of these
400 were ministers, 400.widows and
100 orphans. Some of these men had
worked for .more than 40 years for
an average salary of 14'50 per year.
One minister had. been 45 years in
the work and his average salary,
amounted to 5430.
When ministers began their work
they agreed to go wherever they
were sent, to give all their time to
the work of the church, and to quit
when they were told to quit.. They
agreed to this on the understanding
that the church would provide ade-
quate salaries and adequate old age
pensions. The ministers, had fulfilled
their side of their agreement, but
the church had woefully fallen down
For the past 12 wears, years of the
greatest prosperity in Canada, the
Methodist church owed its pastors
1760,000 in unpaid salaries. Since
the time of the union the tremend-
ous sum of $2,500,000 had accumul-
ated in unpaid ministers' salaries.
FOUR MILLIONS OF DOLLARS
FROM METHODISM!'
"No Time for a.'Timid Church," says
Rev. Dr. Chown, General Supt.
Exeter District held its Financial
Council at Centralia last Friday. Mr.
W. G. Medd, President of the Finan-
ial Council and his co-workers see
mmense possibilites in the February
anvas. $39,000 is the objective for
he District. In setting this objective
he Exeter District is keeping pace
with the whole denomination which
plans to raise $4,000,000 as a Na-
tional Campaign Fund, and in addt-
on the sum of $1,340,000 for cur-
ent expenses of the different de-
artments of the church. The spec -
al canvass begins this week and the
reat drive over the top will be con-
ducted February 8-14 in Canada,
ewfoundland and the Bermudas.
ev. Dr. Chown says "this is no time
or a timid church, all things are
ossible to a church preaching a

ve and a mighty faith."

the congregation that listened to
Rev. Paul Kanamori, Ln James St.
church on Sabbath morning last was
not as large as it would have been
but in spite of the weather there
was a fair turnout of townspeople,
to listen to the Japanese Moody. The
speaker told his story in excellent
English. For four years he has been
actively engaged in evangelistic
work and has traveled all over his
native country telling the story of
the cross. In. his own land, the speak-
er said he had but one sermon and
that sermon he repeated night after
night, sometimes for a week in a
single place. During that peroid 48,-
000 Japanese had decided for Christ
Mr. Kananiori said that in this
country the people did not like long
sermons, half an hour to forty min-
utes, but his sermon lasted for
three hours. He made a strong. ap-
peal for his country, the fields of
which he said, were white unto har-
vest. The time for the reaping was
at hand. If the Christian church
sends help now the result will be a
Christian Japan, if they fail he knew
not what the result would be.
Rev. Melvin Whiting, of Crediton,
a returned missionary from Japan,
through whose influence Rev. Ka.na-
mori visited here, was' on the plat -
frill. He introduced Rev. Mr, Kana-
xnori in an able manner and at the
close made an impressive appeal for
missionaries.
