Methodist Hear Bishop Fisher In Mission Appeal
More than 200 representatives from 26 Methodist churches in Fairfield County attended a dinner at the Seaside club on State street where Bishop Fred E. Fisher spoke of Methodist missions in the Far East and urged a $2,000,000 raise to carry on work abroad. Fisher, recently from India as Bishop of Bengal and Burma, noted dramatic aid needs and that pledges from 14 churches were announced, with expectations of larger totals from congregations afterward. He travels the Eastern states to address the mission deficit for 1923, after which he heads to New York. The Rev. B A Dent and Rev. W H Kidd opened the event. committee members were Almon Chaffee, W B Spencer, and Dow R Beebe.
