WESLEYAN MILLION FUND
Three years ago the W 7 esleyan Methodists of Great Britain undertook to raise 1,000,000 guineas a? “ a thanks-offering for the b essir.gs they had received as individuals and as a church. ” It was a big undertaking, but it seems likely to be carried to a successful conclusion . We gather from the Methodist Times that the amount actually paid or definitely promised to data is £840,874 7s. That, as our contemporary says, is an enormous sum, and it no more were got it would bo the largest special amount ever raised in so short a time by any Christian Church. But the fund must be closed at the end of the year, and a bold effort is to bo made by the Methodists to got in the £150.000 odd still required to complete the mil ion. No doubt it will be got, arid this parietal wT -tviuicth Century Fund will b j brought to a triumphant close, and will rank as in its way an unparalleled enterprise. Tt is certainly a most sinking example of what voluntary effort can accomplish, and is not without it lessons.
