Hitchcock, Oklahoma
Out of the more than 3,000,000 Ford cars now in use, about
sixty per cent have been sold to farmers. Probably no other one
thir*g has brought to the farm so much of comfort and profit as has
the Ford car. It has enlarged the social life, doubled the facilities for
marketing, brought the town next door to the farm, multiplied for
the farmer the pleasures of living, and by the same token the Ford
Touring Car has brought just as much pleasure to the residents of the
towns and cities, because it is an every day in the year utility,
answering the demand of quick transportation at low expense. A
family car without an equal in low cost of operation and maintenance.
We solicit your order for one. We have the full line of Ford cars.
We carry the genuine Ford Parts, and assure you the best in
mechanical service and the most reasonable prices.

When Uiosflkals need money they enlist the

8 out of every 10 ministers receive less than
$20 a week—about half the pay of a mechanic.

And of these pitifully h»de*u*te salaries, how much do
you contribute? Notfamf if you are outside the church;
an average of less than 3c a day if you are a church
member.
All of us share in the benefits of Christian ministers to
the community. They marry us; bury us; bapme our
children; visit us when we are ski. In their hands is the
spiritual training of the youth.
We Are AU Profiteers at Their Expense
Part of the Interchurch World program is this a living
wage for every minister of Jesus Christ; an efficient plant,
and a chance to do a big man's job.
If you want better preachers, help to pay the preachers
better. It’s the best investment for your commumty and
for your children—that you can ever maka.

Co-operation Versus Competition
In Retipion
(By Brace Barton /
It’s old, but worth repeating
— the story of the conscientious
lady who waa a9ked by the visit
ing pastor how her church was
progressing.
“Not v^ry well,' ‘♦Fie admit
ti j with a shake of her head,
and th**n brightening, she added:
“But thank Heaven for one
thing, the Baptists aren’t doing
doing any better.”
There are still a good many
j >ople outside the churches who
supfvi-c that that sentiment rep-
resents tht state of denomina-
t.onal feeling in the church to-
day.
They are much mistaken. One
of the most significant develop-
ments of recent years has been
the constant drawing together
of the different denominations
for the elimination of competi-
tion. and the encouragement of
cooperative enterprises of ser-
vice.
The Interchurch World Move
meat represents the latest and
moat significant enterprise of
this sort.
Thirty leading denominations,
without sacrificing any of their
individual identity or tradition,
i ave associated themse.ves to-
gether for the pur poie of more
effective work both at home and
abroad.
For a year trained >urveyor.t
have t>een at work making a
scientific study of i!*•- mission
fields of America county by
county. The churches now
fcuow where America is over-
churcheJ and where under
churched.
They know just where men
and schools and heap tahi are
needed b^th here audjn other
lands. Every man anil dollar
asked for in the grAt coopera
tive campaign have their place
and duty assigned t*> theta in ad-
vance. There is to be no compe
tition; no duplication of effort; no
wasU.
Surely an enterprise of so
much vision and courage merits
the support of every thoughtful
man and woman who wants to
see the America of the future
hold true to the ideals of the
past.
It is full of promise for the
larger spiritual influence of the
church. And it comes at a time
when the world needs spiritual
1-adershi p as it never needed it
before.
