PROTESTANT CHURCHES
TO BEGIN STEWARDSHIP
ENROLLMENT SUNDAY
Pastors Return From Inter-
church Movement at
Dallas.
T^Following a pastors’ conference of •
th^Jntcr-Church World Movement at
Dallas Inst Tuesday Wednesday and
Thursday San Antonio pastors returned
Io the city ready to carry out the pro-
gram of the movement which sets Feb-
ruary aside ns stewardship month and
next Sunday as “stewardship acknowl-
edgment Sunday.” lu most of the Prot-
estant churches a drive will be begun
for enrollment in the stewardship pro-
gram. which is based on the principle
of “God’s ownership and man's stew-
ardship in the church.”
Among the Snn Antonio pastors who
attended the conference were Dr. James
M. Todd of the Madison Square Pres-
byterian Church; Rev. C. Wesley Web-
dell of the Travis Park Methodist
Church: Rev. C. E. McStravick of the
First United Presbyterian Church; Rev.
S. L. Batchelor of the Government Hill
Methodist Church: Rev. B. E. Dobbins
of the Alarno Heights Presbyterian
Church; Rev. F. S. Erne of the First
Evangelical Church; Rev. C. A. Riley
of the First Congregational Church;
Rev. H. M. Ratliff and Mrs. Chris
Dullnig. president of the Women’s Sy-
nodjcal Presbytery of the United States.
Rev. W. Bertrand Stevens of St.
Mark's Episcopal Church. Rev. E. S.
Erne and Mrs. Chris Dullnig were ap-
pointed on the state advisory board.
The next move of the pastors will be
to carry the program into county con-
ferences and in the near future a Bexar
Cojmty Inter-Church World Movement
capference will be called. A survey will
JF made of the county to determine the
nirpds of the communities.
The Inter-Church World Movement
is not an attempt to unite the churches
in any way according to those who am
working out the program nor will it
interfere with the denominational in-
terests but. it is an attempt to co-operate
in carrying out. the forward movements
of each individual church and to avoid
overlapping.
The movement has received the sup-
port of a majority of the Protestajit
churches in America and in San An-
tonio pastors of many of the leading
churches are on the committee to fur-
ther the plan.
Sunday. Feb. 29 is “Life Service En
listment Sunday” and the month of
March has been set aside as a pre-Eastcr
period for the deepening of the spiritual
I fe and the enlistment of life recruits.

Offer Will Be Asked Only
of Well to Do.
Soliciting funds from those financial-
ly able to donate was finally decided on
as the only way to afford relief to the
teachers asking for a higher salary nt
the meeting of the. Citizens’ Committer
held Friday afternoon in the Chamber
of Commerce.
The offer of George W. Brackenridge
to give $50000 if the citizens of Sun
Antonio would raise $lOOOOO ami the
immediate response of John M. Bennett
in giving $5OOO. pointed the way for the
committee which has spent weeks vain-
ly seeking means of raising money by
taxation.
Called to meet by John Boyle chair
man of the committee the citizens agreed
that any form of tuition fees would de-
stroy the theory of the public schools.
Faced with the prospect of public so-
licitation to raise the money necessary
to meet the offer of Mr. Brackenridge
and Mr. Bennett it was decided that
only citizens financially able to give
should be approached on the proposition.
Committees will be named and put to
work next week. The entire situation
will be gone over at a public meeting
which has been called for Wednesday
evening by the Women’s City Commit-
tee when teachers and patrons have been
askt J to assemble in an open forum. The
meeting is being arranged by Mrs. Rena

tional section of the Women’s City Com-
mittec. and will bo called to order
