"Chicago, where the Methodists of
the world are in general conference,
and will be for about a month, is the
foremost Methodist city in the world.
There are 204 Methodist churches in
the city. About 80 churches have
been built there during the last 10
years, and during the last two OF
three years about one church per
month has been built. These results
have not been equaled elsewhere.
Methodism was the first Protestant
~organizatio on to attempt religious
work in Chicago. Although the first
Protestant sermon was preached by
q Presbyterian, in 1925, yet q Metho-
dist minister visited the town the
same year, but no Protestant organizs-
zion was effected until 1929.

AN ENCOURAGING SIGN.

Merchants Report an Excellent Christ
mas Trade.
GOOdland merchants agree that the
Christmas trade this year was better
than it has been in many years. The
conditions seemed to be favorable to a
lOOsening Of the purse strings; all had
hal fairly prosperous year, and the
result is truly a season Of good cheer.
1t may be said that the weather has
not been favorable to a large sale Of
winter garments, and yet the extent Of
the trade in that line is surprising to
those in q position to make an intelli-
gent comparison with that of other
years.
To the extent that liberal buying is
an index of prosperity, the result Of
the Christmas trading is decidedly en-
cOuraging.
