Dr. Karl H. M oore Speaks
To Methodists on the
"Crusade for Christ"
the Methodist Church last SuniO members sat down to a de­
lightful supper at 6 p. m. and a real
lily gathering with the meeting
of old friends and new was enjoyed.
lowing the supper Rev. Karl H.
Moore, the new District Superin­
tendent and former pastor of the
Rockville Centre Methodist Church,
rhich Rev. Adam Schutz grew
up and made his decision to become
minister, was present and gave a
very inspiring exposition of this
‘Crusade for a New World Ord«
dwelling particularly at this time
the 1944-45 year objective.
The Crusade for Christ is a four
year enterprise unifying all
s of the Methodist Church
through 1948 in their struggle
against “principalities and powers"
le forces of evil.
The financial phase of this Cruide will begin on December 1, and
:ach its climax on Sunday, March
1945, at which time it is hoped
s goal of $25,000,000 shall have
een pledged. The goal for Ea:
Hampton is $750.00, ninety per
of which, will be spent
feeding the hungry, clothing the
naked, freeing the mind and spirits
of the ignorant and underprivileged,
well as rebuilding institutions,
hospitals and churches.
The Crusade will go on through
1946, the year set aside for churchle Evangelism. 1947 is the year
for church-wide cultivation of ChrisStewardship. 1948 the cami to increase enrollment and
attendance in the Sunday Church
Schools.
After the singing of the hymn,
Stand Up, Stand Up for Jesus," the
meeting was dismissed with the ben­
ediction by the Pastor.
