INDIANA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 23,1921.

INDIANA SEAL SALE MAY LEAD Auerbach Hopes to Surpass Record of Year Ago. Indiana has n chance to lead the United State in the per capita purchases of Christmas seals, according to Secretary Murray A. Auerbach, of the Indiana Tuberculosis Association, today. In a review of the antl-tuberculosls sales campaign Mr. Auerbach called attention to the fact that last year, with a per capita sale of 4.5 cents, Indiana led the Mississippi Valley. "If some of the larger counties surpass or equal their efforts of last year, we will have a chance to lead the United States,” Mr. Auerbach said. “From reports received up to today, we believe the State will subscribe $160,000 to the antituberculosis movement by buying 1,600.000 Christmas seals. This amount, pitifully small by comparison with amounts asked for other purposes not so close to the welfare of the Indiana home, will enable us to carry on our program for 1022. It will mean an increase in the total ; ales of about twenty’ per cent, and. will increase our per capita record for the State to about 5.5 cents.” M. E. Church Adds 7,451 in This Area CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—The Indianapolis area of the Methodist Episcopal Church, presided over by Bishop F. D. Lecte, has 2§5,158 members, an increase of 7,451 for the fiscal year ended Dec. .1, 1021, according to statistics complied by Dr. Oliver S. Baketel, editor of the Methodist Year Book, New York, arid announced by the committee on conservation and advance of the Methodist Episcopal Church. This increase refers to communicants of the church and riot to adherents. ' There is a net increase in the membership of the Methodist Episcopal Church of 90.401, There are now 4,480,742 Methodists, of which 3,938,655 are in the United States and 542,087 in foreign lands.
