HOME MISSION COLLECTION APPEAL.<br />
"<strong>The</strong> Covenanter Church must pay more attention to its Home<br />
Mission Work ifit expects to make progress." <strong>The</strong>se words were<br />
uttered recently by one of the most prominent laymen of the Covenanter<br />
Church.<br />
For years the strength of our beloved Church has<br />
been given to many lines of activity at the expense of neglecting the<br />
Home Mission Work.<br />
assist the needy congregations.<br />
<strong>The</strong> time has come to call a halt. We must<br />
Let me be understood, not those<br />
that are dead <strong>and</strong> need an interment, but the ones whose prospects<br />
are encouraging.<br />
For the past ten years two thous<strong>and</strong> dollars annually<br />
was obtained from the estate of Mr. Andrew Alex<strong>and</strong>er, of the<br />
Second New York Congregation, for the support of the Home Mission<br />
Work. No more payments will hereafter come. All honor <strong>and</strong><br />
respect to his memory.<br />
It now devolves upon the rank <strong>and</strong> fileof<br />
the Covenanter Church to make up this deficit, unless the Lord<br />
will send us another Andrew Alex<strong>and</strong>er. 1914 Synod appropriated<br />
$13,540.00 for preaching in thirty-six needy fields. <strong>The</strong> endowment<br />
funds will produce $4,000.00, but the balance must be contributed<br />
by congregations. For years past the congregations have given<br />
$5,000.00 yearly. If this work is to be maintained, <strong>and</strong> it must, if the<br />
Church is to hold her own, not saying anything about a gain, the<br />
members must drop dollars in the basket, where they formerly put<br />
fifty cents.<br />
Will they do it Inasmuch as the Covenanter Church<br />
heads the Hst as the largest contributor per member to Foreign Missions,<br />
viz.: $4.05, she will not neglect the Home Field when her attention<br />
is called to its needs.<br />
Sabbath, <strong>and</strong> the amount asked for $12,000.00.<br />
<strong>The</strong> day of collection is October first<br />
Will not all pastors<br />
read this Appeal from the pulpit previous to the collection<br />
