CHURCHES MAKE APPEAL FOR RUSSIAN CHILDREN Council Asks Gifts Be Made Equal in Value to Evéry Christ- mas Dinner. “For every Christmas dinner a gift of equal value for the starying chil- dren of Russla,” is the Christmas appeal made by the Federal Council of Churches. “That at the family altar of every Christian _home on~ Christmas day!Baptist SBunday School Board of the |t Eifts to the starving Russlan chil-| Southern Baptist Convention. dren be made, equal in valye to those given in the family circle,” also proposed Christian people of America. If these suggestions are carried out, it is declared. Christmas day this year will be suffused with a greater spirit of sacrificc than.ever before. In the “message children of Russia” just sent out to!among the Baptists of the Distric the churches the federal council’s!and they reported 114 h‘p":l;:'l:;ri;‘,!': committee on mercy and relief strong- | t ly urges that be thus made a sacrament of self- denial and that at public exercises a ‘cradle of Bethlehem' be provided, to!year. whic children and their parents may bring their gifts of love, as did the eastern wise men.” This appeal to the churches of thel13.342" The valuation of loc; country is being made in response tui""""'"y is $1,220,172. a request from Herbert Hoover, chai man of the American Relief Admini tration. The American Relief Ad- ministration is giving one free meal a day to 1.300.000 children in Russia, and the American Friends' service committee (Quaker) is caring for 50.000, having begun its noble work more than two years ago. In spite of all these efforts, 3000000 more children in Russia, according to the official statement of Dr. Vernon Kel- logs, who has just returned from Russia on a mission for Mr. Hoover's staff, face starvation this winter un- less additional aid comes to them. These statistics take no account of cessful financial canvass of last vear, | the millions of adults who also have when $2,400.000 was raised within the denomination. The membership campaign in United States and Canada is a project by the Unitarian Church “to awaken in the minds of Unitarians a con- sciousness of individual responsibility 'for increasing the service of Unita- to the world and to change approximately the irresponsible audiences to active con- gregations.” Feature of Campaign. A feature of the campaign will be to enroll Unitarians in the local Uni- tarian Church. This comes, in effect, from a tabulation of church rosters in parishes of the United States and Canada, which has revealed to the na- tional committee the fact that thou- sands of persons attending Unit: “Joined been activ are admittedly in the broad statement and purpose, have they have church life and sympathy with of religious principle not a “creed.” As one of the 500 men selected to work with the national committee in Boston the chairman here has been asked to organize a local membership council to include the officers of his church and representatives of the Unitarian Laymen’s League, now con- ducting a church attendance cam- paign. and other major organizations. This body will be responsible for the entire direction of the local campaign, for public meetings and for the careful consideration of prospective church and Sunday school month-by-month Easter. National Drive Planned. Organization plans have been per- fected throughout the country. This includes a speakers’ bureau to provide churches outside of Boston with Uni- tarlan “evangelists”” For the next four months Unitarianism will be pre- sented as the “happy faith.” holding out to Unitarian adherents, to men and women of no church and to per- sons out of sympathy with church life, based upon teachings that human nature is inherently corrupt, that a rational understanding of a universe of law_and order is happier than one swayed by superstition and dogma. churches though never members tabulation in a up PENTECOSTAL.
