Methodists to aid victims of Camille A nation-wide special offering in some 40,000 congregations of the United Methodist Church to aid sufferers from damage by Hurricane Camille is scheduled for September 7, or as soon thereafter as possible.

Bishop Hardin heads the financial agency which has oversight over all money col lected and expended on a nat ional basis. All United Methodist churches and their pastors are being in vited to cooperate in this ef fort. Telegrams have been sent to all Methodist bishops and district superintendents, and let ters are going to all pastors in the United States to mobilize massive church support, Bishop Hardin said. In his statement announcing the offering, Bishop Hardin said that “Meteorologists say that Hurricane Camille was the worst on record in the United States. Its devastation is un precedented. Among the suffer ers are hundreds of Methodists, including some ministers, who lost homes, buildings, and per sonal possessions. Business es tablishments were wiped out. Churches and parsonages were utterly destroyed.” Bishop Hardin said that “Bis hop E. J. Pendergrass of Miss issippi, a native of Florence, es timates the damage to church properties along the Mississippi Gulf Coast at one to one and a half million dollars. Gulfside Assembly, a well-known meet ing place for the former Cen tral Jurisdiction of the Meth odist Church, was almost com pletely destroyed. Bishop Aub rey Walton of New Orleans put damages to Methodist propert ies below that city to be at least one half million dollars. As yet, there are no estimates of damages to churches, parson ages, and personal possessions of Methodists in Virginia.” Since the means of livelihood for members of the churches have been wiped out, if t’»j churches are to minister to Lie people in these areas the; will have to provide support Gr the ministry, parsonages '.nd also places of worship until t h e ruined areas Ir/u recovered, Bishop Hardin ymted out.
