Quick service and good work at reasonable prices. The Interchurch World Movement of North America is an attempt by forward-looking leaders of the various evangelical denominations the United States and Canada to co-ordinate the resources in men, inouey and material of Protestant America. Historically, it is the logical outgrowth-of a tendency of the national boards in each denomination to form working alliances among themselves, In which each board shall preserve its Identity and comrol its own personnel and treasury. In former times, the home mission society, the foreign mission society, the church extension society and the various philanthropic and eleemosynary agencies of any denominator conducted their affairs independentlj of one another. Each surveyed its own restricted territory, prepared a budget of money and workers for its own purposes and made its own appeal to its constituency for support.

This could only mean that these agencies were more or less in competition with another; that there were waste and duplication of work and money, and that among' them ali some work was neglected and some denominational resources "were entirely overlooked. Because of their specialized training, the leaders of each agency regarded themselves as peculiarly fitted for their tasks, and jealously regarded attempts -at outside interference. Decide on Experiment. After decades of such haphazard methods, the leaders of one denomination decided on an experiment. They thought it would be possible for the agencies to get together for a common study of all opportunities and resources of their brotherhood, to make out a unified budget of men and money, and to-conduct a concerted appeal for funds.

It was made clear that each constituent board should preserve complete the board representatives met they found it possible to-eliminate a great amount of organization expenses. They ultimately worked out a budget, and plan of campaign that was'-satisfactory to all. This resulted and Movement" of the Disciples of Christ, which brought in what was then considered tlie staggering sum of $6,300,000 for a five-year program. The members of the communion were so pleased with this-- business-like method of conducting affairs that they contributed even more generously than had been expected. The success of this enterprise revolutionized whole business of church.financiering.

Tlie other great denominations immediately adopted- the plan. The denominational associations have come, to be known as "forward movements," and some thirty of them are in existence today. Each one has clarified all the information, in relation to enterprise within the denomination, and has reduced the busuesu uf collecting and spending money to a science. World-Budget Formed. The Inlerchurch World Movement is simply a plan to do interdenomina- tionally what the forward movements various corn- that every denominational budget will be made in the light of world needs, instead of in the semi-obscurity of incomplete information.

It means that contributions to one denomination will not be in wasteful competition with contributions to another, because all the fellowships will have worked out their program together. The functions of the Interchurch World Movement are threefold. Eiret, it collects, by means of world surveys, all Ihe pertinent facts on which denominational programs a be built. Second, it sets up the practical machinery of co-operation. Third, it acts in an advisory capacity whenever its advice is requested.

The Movement has nothing to do with organic church union or matters of creed or doctrine. Each constituent unit preserves complete autonomy, and Is bound only so far as it wishes to be bound. Financial appeals are made by each denomination to its own constituency. Any surplus In undesignat- ed funds, over and above the actual cost of will be prorated among the denominations engaged in a given financial undertaking. An illustration of one thing the Movement can do is to he found in a western community of 1,600 persons in which thirteen denominations have been supporting separate churches missionary funds, while an adjacent territory of 50,000 persons has only churches.

By seeing that all missionary boards are supplied with Information In such cases, the Movement will m'ake possible a wiser 'distribution of funds. Its first gdals are to reduce unnecos- duplication and overlapping to a minimum and to bring about au Intelligent division of labor In unoccupied fleldn. The Movement li, at bottom, an attempt tu put church bnilneii on tie tound, builnMi-llke which the (TMt commercial Inrtl- fartlMi of America an ballt. SOME FACTS AND FANCIES ABOUT "THE PHILIPPINES There Has Been Much Misrepresentation in America About People and Conditions. Maximo M.

Kalaw. By A I M. KALAW, Secretary of the Philippine Mission. certain lady at the St. Louis 'Exposition saw at a 11 in a.

complex- loned man In fault- dress and accosted him with the inquiry, "I suppose you are Japanese, sir?" The man addressed "No, madam." "Then you must be Chinese," she said. "No, I am not. I am a Filipino," be replied. "How's Hint?" asked the lady. "1 thought they were ull savages living in the woods." "Well, I'll tell yon how I came here," he said.

"A month 1 left the Philippines I was living In the woods, but the American Governor decided to catch as many wild men us possible, train them and send them over here. So liere I am, just as see." And the St. Louis Indy actually believed him. That Is what yon would call fancies about the Philippines. The fact is, however, tfat the 11,000,000 Filipinos and their ancestors have been civilized and Christian? for 300 years; that the non-Christian 'population, according to the census of 1018, is only 500,000, and even these are not all uncivilized.

Another fancy is a not until the coming of the Americans were school buildings seen in the Islands, roads built, or houses erected. Do you know that for hundreds of years the Filipinos Imvo had colleges and nnd that the University of Santo Toinns is only uvomy-llve years older than Harvard? That us curly us 1SGG, out of population of 4,000,000 people, there were 841 schools for hoys and 833 for girls? That in .1802, eight years before ttie coming of the Americans, were 2,107 schools? "To gi-iint self-government to Luzon under Aguinaldo would be like grant- Ing self-government to nn Apuche reservation under some local chief." Thus spoke a former Presldont of the tjnlted States during the Filipino-American war. Exuggenitlon could be un excuse at a time when Hie i i of the Am- ericun people demunded the extinction of Filipino opposition, but do you know that thi Philippine Republic, before the American occupation of Ihe Islands, had the upprovul of prominent'Ameri- cans who were on the spot--like John Barrett, Director of the 1'an-Amerlcan Union, who compnred it favorably with the Jnpnncse government? That Admiral Dowey considered the Filipinos bettor i for self-government than the Cubiins? That they hud drafted a constitution nt Mululos which elicited the approval of distinguished lii-pub- Hcuns like the a Senator George F. 'Hour? That before the coming of the Americans they had produced national heroes like the martyred Jose Rixnl, pronounced by a Republican congressman, Representative Cooper, as the noblest victim that has ever fallen Into the clutches of tyranny? And do you know that the Filipinos have not hud for hundreds of yeurs any caste system, blood distinction or royul families, and that, i their oriental sisters, they are the only Christian people in the orient? People have pictured an Ignorant mass of Filipinos, Illiterate, poor, living life of servitude for a few wealthy land owners and foreigners, with no houses or farms or property of their own. Do you know that 70 'per cent, of the people above ten years of age can read and write and that tins percentage of literacy is almost as high as of the states of the Union? That It Is higher than In any country of South America, higher than the literacy of tlio Spanish people, and un-.

questionably above that of any of the new countries recognized in Europe? Do you know that there are million and a half farms In the Philippines and that 00 per cent, of these farms are owned by Filipinos. In other words, that out of the 11,000,000 Christian Filipinos, 8,000,000 of them at least live on their own "farms, with houses of their own, independent of any absentee iliindlord or foreign master? That 91 per cent, of the urban property con. sistliiK of houses and lands Is owned by the natives' of the Philippines, and only fl per cent, is In the hands of foreigners? Yet these are facts cabled b.v Acting Governor Charles Kmmett Yea- ler to the War Department from the recent census estimates. Having solemnly promised the Filipinos their Independence and having gone before the world us the champion of self-determination, the Filipino poo- cnnnnt understand how America can consistently refuse to make good them promises. The children of the Bccklcy school grades voted to accept tlie 1 pallor's invitation, and attend the Christian Rev.
