Samuel Holcik Appeals! to People for Consitlera tion of Problems NEW PROGRAM FORMED Work in Foreign Field and Local Improvements Require Larger Fund Appeal was iued todity by the Rev. Samuel HuUiU, pastor of the Lutheran Church of tho Aseension, of 20 Clinton street, to (he constituency and friends of his society, that they unite most seriously at this time In consideration of the problems of the local, home and foreign fields, that a solution of all ions having to do with the needs of the Clinton street church may be reached. A new church frogram for the year lias been formulated which Includes joining with nationwide Lutlieraulsm In helping feed the starving thousands In Germany, In reaching the non churched population of the community, and In making improvements on the local property, If pusstble; cooperation to the reduction or elimination of the local church debt (now about 6,000) and in other important Items. The past year has been marked with success and pastor and people look forward to equally good record for the coming year. The member ship is about 100 families, of about 500 people, and most of the work la confined to this group and their friends.

The Rev. Mr. Holcik says that tho year 1923 was a good one, "the Lord Himself having been with us holding us dose to greater faith than heretofore. The records show this 100-famlly church had an income of for the year, as compared with $3,318.10 In 1922, and expenses of $5,777.47 as compared with $2,609.80 for the year As Is seen from this doubled our Income and expenses. More than $3,000 was spent in improvements on the church, school, parsonage and our new cemetery In the Floral Park cemetery addition.

"Almost every Slovak Lutheran In this community now is a member of this church We are looking forward for a better year still. 1 There are a great many things to be done. In the near future we have on our hearts the taking of two collections one for others, and one for ourselves. As to the first class: Lutherans throughout Amer ica are trying to raise this year $1,500,000 for Christian work abroad, $1,000,000 of which goes to Germany, where our Lutheran church is being tried severely. We want to help our needy brethren of the same faith to carry on their endeavors amid the great trials to which they are exposed and to help their Institutions (such as hospitals, homes, soup kitchens, charities, etc.) to preserve the life and hope of many distressed people.

Last year we sent our money chiefly to Russia not a very great amount. This year we hope to do more, for Germany just where the help is needed. "As to the second: -Wo will have to make a number of tmprovenientr this year on our properties, replen ish our equipment. Our church debt also Is considerable, and we would like to lessen It. For all that work we need 'milodury' any good Slovak Lutheran will tell you what that word means." The following are the new officers of the church: "Prcdseda." or president, George Mica; secretary.

John Zloch; accountant, George Hipaj; treasurer. Paul Kadlerik; trustee, John Matej; elder collectors, Martin Mandak and Steven Mica: younger collectors, Steven Bystrak, John Skrha and John Bcblavy; organist, Michael Cermak; sexton, Martin Ccrmak: sexton, Martin Slmek, and sexton's hoy, Murtln Shriek. The Rev. Mr. Iloldk and workers are much Interested In the children of the parish.

A room In the basement of the church Is given over to the use of a school, In which the Rev. Mr. Holcik, as the only duly authorised Instructor, assisted by Mr. Cermak, has charge of the classes. One class meets Wednesday afternoon and two classes meet on Saturday, and all of them, aggregating about 80 In number, study religious educational subjects.

These classes constitute "the church school," and are a weekday school rather than a Sunday school. The church workers would like to see this hool better equipped with maps other essentials. Also they would like to see better equipment for the altar, railing around the cemetery lots and other things. We hope that people will be willing to do all that is necessary. f.STKRT.1 POST AXI (OKPfl.

The cooperation of clergy and people Is a foregone con clusion. Ail that the Catholic Diocese of Syracuse needs Is an opportunity to show their Interest in the vital work of the Church they love and whose interests they value above all else. 'The Catholic Sun has kindly con sented to give of its valuable space each week, that the news and needs of the mission fields may become better known and that we may be spurred to greater endeavor, as we read of the labor and sacrifices of those who are consecrating their lives to the conversion of the pagan world. "Over a billion people live in the world today who know nothing of Christ or Christianity.

Among that vast multitude are working 1 5,000 priests, 5.000 brothers and 45,000 sisters. It is for us to support and encourage them, and make possible a great increase in their numbers ror Indeed 'the harvest Is great but the laborers By prayer and gen- erous giving we of Syracuse Diocese can accomplish much now that the opportunity Is offered us.
