REFORMED PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH 55
the financing of the CAM has been our work this year as it
been for several years.
/ — Tbe Chairman
The chairman has had the responsibility of sending out literature
as requested. The present method of supplying these tracts
is most inefficient. The short-comings of the chairman have made
the system even less workable. Feeling that he is not the man
for this type of work, the chairman now resigns his chairmanship.
He also resigns as a member of the Witness Committee effective
at this meeting of the Synod.
All funds received have been expended for postage and
mailing supplies.
The Committee requested $12,000 from Synod for the year
1961-62. The Rev. David Carson represented the Committee
before the Coordinating Committee.
The chairman thanks all the members of the Committee for
their kind cooperation during the past two years.
// - CAM Office
The Christian Patriot has 2500 subscribers. It was published
at a net loss of 5332.57. Thirty-seven congregations have sent
in subscription lists. The CAM received $2,150.75 in gifts. This
does hot include gifts to the radio fund. Ninety-four inquiries
were received in the office as a result of radio programs. The
office reports an average of seventy-one stations carried programs
during the past year. The Rev. Joseph Caskey reports that at the
present time about thirty-three stations are carrying radio programs.
The work of enlisting endorsements of the Christian Amendment
from important persons continues. The Christian Amendment
was introduced in the eighty-seventh Congress by five members
of the House of Representatives. Over twenty thousand mailings
were made from the office including 4409 ministers of the Evangelical
United Brethren Church.
The annual CAM meeting was held Sept. 27, 1960 with the
Rev. W. G. McMillan as speaker. Many other interesting facts
might be reported if time and space permitted. We particularly
commend the work of the office staff at this time.
