PAGE 2 EPISCOPAL GREETING. Dear Brethren—We have been in a four years’ march and will soon reach headquarters, make our report and await the orders of the church. Our Journey has been pleasant, here and there overshadowed by flying clouds, but we have not made it with un broken ranks. As in every other campaign we have seen the faithful fall, yet we have gone forward in the strength oi our cause and with faith in God from one conquest to another, never faint ing or wavering. Spiritual Work. The primal y duty of the church Is the salvation of souls. On that line God has given us wonderful success each year, our ministers seemed to be Imbued with the spirit of revival, and we have received the signal oi His approval In many Instances, so that the numerical strength of His kingdom has been largely increased in the Fifth Episcopal District. We give God the glory. Material Growth. Materially we have been equally blessed; new churches have been built, old ones remodeled, comfortable and tasty parsonages erected, and the temporal economy of the church so improved that the work has been put upon a firmer and more permanent basis. No general interest has been neglected; ou the contrary, there has been an increase in every department, not by spasmodic effort, but by a gradual and systematic growth in lib erality and willingness to contribute to God’s caußC on the part of both pastor and people. Dollar Money. The Dollar Money System of the A. M. E. church is generally considered be the best fiuanetal plan in Melh 41am. Through it we pay the salar ies of the bishops, general officers, and assist missionary, church extension, publication and educational depart ments. In addition to this, it also as sists superannuated preachers who have not received their allowance, and widows and orphans of pastors. With reference to the Church Ex tension department, it is well to re member that several of the churches in our district have received substan tial ad therefrom by donation or loan; and In several cases the loan has been unusually large, owing to disaster or special emergencies. Spurred on by these considerations In addition to the promptings of church loyalty, we ought to make a reasonable Increase in our dollar money collections over IMM, and I THE STATESMAN, DENVER, COLORADO urge you to do so. The presiding eld ers In council decided that an increase of 10 per cent. Is a reasonable re quest. I am confident that you will regard this request and me up to It. Sensation Fund. You will remember that the travel ing expenses of the General Confer ence delegates are to be paid by their respective Annual Conferences from moneys coming from the several pos|Apii ojojojaqj out! no.\ s.'Sjsq.i to raise the amount assessed to you by the last session of our Conference for traveling and sustena lon fund and report the same at the next conven tion thereof.

The second Sun day in August has been decided upon as Educational Day and to make a special effort for Western University. Bishop Tyree and the Tenth Epis copal District are making an effort to raise SIO,OOO for Paul Quinn College, $4,800 of which they have in hand~al ready.

Bishop Turner says that the men of Georgia collected for Morris Brown College $3,800. Bishop Salter states that the men of Mississippi raised for Campbell College $2,300. The men of the Fifth District cannot afford to ire behind. 1 am sure that Western University lies neur your hearts, and I believe you are willing to make one strong effort to raise $2,- 500 on Educational Day. This can be done if you will increase your educa tional collections a few dollars. Send your offering to Rev. A. M. Ward, 1026 Tauromec Street, Kansas City, Kansas.
