Rev. w. Fl. Jordan, presiding elder
OF the Sioux Falls District Of Metho-
dist Churches, who was sent TO New
York by the South Dakota Conference
as delegate TO the general mission
ary committee of the church, writes
home good news for his state. The
committee distributes annually 81 ,250,-
600. There were so many pressing
demands upon the committee that
South Dakota's application for $l2,-
000, near the end OF the list, was
looked upon as doubtful. But Mr..
Jordan succeeded in getting the full
$1,000 appropriated, which, he
writes, is the largest special grant to
any conference in this country. He
also expects TO secure aid for South
Dakota Methodist Churches from the
church extension board, which meets
soon in Philadelphia.
