Rut with the utn mentum of a signal victory through the pant four yearn and with the added momentum or the imiteratlve needs before them. It In confidently believed that the denomination will go "over the top" nrxt fall In a glor ious triumph. The cheeriest optimism prevails anions those leading the campaign. They realize it is a man's Job, hut It can be done. In point of achievements, the j?ast year ban been one of the very best In the history of the denomination. There have been I7.7S7 addition* to the churches by baptism this year. During the past four years there have been 74.804 additions by bap tism. According to the best avail able statistics $2.100,915 18 has been expynded on local church needs the past year. In the great forward movement launched four years ago the churches caught a vision of their own needs as well as that of the rest of the world. So hundreds of churches have been building new churches or adding to their equip ment. In many Instances, doubtless, thin has diverted luonev from the outnlde benevolent objects. Hence the shortage this year in Campaign fundn. Many of these churches, it Is thought, will recover from their church building projects sufficiently to come in on the home stretch next fall. ... i Every department of the work of the board of missions lias gone for ward this year In a great way. Sec retary E. L. Mlddleton lias had one of the best years In the history the Sunday school department. He reports this year 2.1 f?!?
