THoBURN's ARMY OF 1000


CHICAGO. May 5.-Bishop James NJ. Tho
army CT 100000 workers to fulfill the
bishops call Bishop Thoburn's plan has
been freely debated by members of the
General Conference and probably will come
before that body early this month in the
form of a memorial presented by some dele
gate. Bishop Thoburn's plan contemplates,
briefly. an organization of church members
to become evangeIists. and by systematized
efforts TO gather in 100000 souls and s2O.-
100000 before the close of the century
II cannot give my plans in detail al this
time said Bishop Thoburn. "for when I
came to the conference L had them only in
outline. Since coming here and finding the
interest that is manifested. / can say ii is
probable they will be before the conference
soon. In way my plan may be compared
10 the military policy OF the United States.
There Is large volunteer army scattered
throughout the country. Say that war
Is about to begin, what has the government
that ii can lay it's hands upon? The
cruiting sergeant. Surely there are large
number of recruiting sergeants TO be found
In every congregat ton. every district, and
every annual conference throughout the
country.
SHOULD the members of the church be in
duced to rally in support of such a move
ment? That depends on how IL is managed.
1t cannot be done until the right kind of
men and women are put in charge of it,
and the right plans adopted for carrying it
forward. 1t can be stihed at the outset by
a perfunctory and heartless policy or il
may be organized and prosecuted so as to
make itself felt far into the next century.
The first step in such a movement will be
to select five or six men who have had ex-
perience i'm Christian work. and let them
decide the best plans for putting the
idea into effect. The great point to be set
tied first is that an effort of this kind shall
have the approval of the conference, not
alone in a general way. but that 1t has its
solemn sanction and authority"

Editor JOURNAL:-Our trip of five
days from Omaha to San Francisco was
replete with strange yet interesting
scenery, moro especially while passing
through Arizona and New Mexico, view
ing the old Spanish towns and ranches
was quite edifying. Then again We
travelled for hundreds of miles through q
long, Lonesome, weird stretch of territory
covered with sage brush and the ever
lasting mountain cactus, over mountain
ranges, through solitary canons and
dark tunnels.
About dawn OF the fifth day ve were
speedily precipitated for miles down IN
almost perpendicular incline, from which
ve plunged into the lovely Valley Of
Pasadena, ornamented its whole length
and breadth with gorgeous homes and
handsome groves OF orange, lemon and
olive trees. The houses were almost
covered from view with q draping OF
green vines, fragrant shrubbery and
beautiful roses. This sudden and unex-
pected Transition wss bevildering and
completely startled one With delight and
admiration. After speeding through
this productive valley of fruitage and
flowers 10 were ushered into the famous
city Of Los Angeles, the seat Of wealth,
pleasure and longevity.
The distance from here to San Diego
il ono hundred and thirty miles, the
whole distance being interspersed With
pleasant villas, picturesque mountain
and ocean views, attractive orchards and
