6 6 THE CRUROHMAN ADVERTISER. Clergy receiving only part of their stipend Missions are being cloaed in Western Canada: clergy are being replaced by students ; remaining clergy are too often receiving only a portion of their stipend ; dioceses are burdened by large overdrafts. The whole work of the Church it imperilled~ In large areas the assistance given by the C.C.C.S. has saved the situation, but the funds at the disposal of the Society mujt be increased if the many urgent claims are to be met. Will you strengthen the hands of the Society by sending a gift to maintain the ministry of the Church in needy Western Canada? ADDRESS THE SECRETARY: 9 SERJEANTS' INN, FLEET ST, LONDON, E.C.4 Doors of Opportunity stand open wide in E.C. Africa and Tibet. Moravian Missionaries are pressing forward and have entered those doors with the Message of the Gospel. Having GAINED ground for the extension of God's Kingdom, they are anxious to MAINTAIN it, but our funds do not permit us to send them the support they so sorely need. The position causes grave concern. Your help is needed. Will you give it? CmotNbulioM _,1M senl td ~ ojjof_ :=f.:~ r ~1ANM~s1DMS SIR GEORGE : HUM~ ~ I ~ J.P M.P., L.C.C. ANNUAL MEETING: lion Collqe.
