METHODISTS ORGANIZE
TO INCREASE SOCIAL
SERVICE OF CHURCHES

directors. This board, 1t Is planned. will
hold stated meeting once every year.
Although ministers and laymen OF
the Methodist Episcopal denomination
were the prime movers in the organ1-
cation, it is hoped that the other
branches of Methodism-the Methodist
Protestants, the members of the M. e.
Church South and others-will unite
with the federation. and the various
branches will be allowed representa-
ton on the board of directors Some
of those back of the movement think
this cooperation may form basis for
a church reunion later.
The first task to be taken up by those
back of the federation will be the for
nation of branches in various cities
and churches. Members of copgrega-
tons who are especially interested in
charity work in their communities will
be enlisted first; and these. it is ex-
pected, will interest others. When the
branches have become strong each Will
make a thorough investigation of the
social conditions surrounding its church
and the needs of the community, and
then will try to meet those needs.
The general federation will have con-
ventions every two years, and these
will be attended by delegates from
the various branches. The federation
will also send out a manual, social
handbook and monographs Oh social
service.
After the organization was completed
last week greetings were sent to the
WESLEYAN League of England, which
is doing a similar work in the British
Isles.

work of the churches in the communi-
ties where they are located. 1t is felt
that the congregations do not feel the
responsibilities around them. They look
on the community around the church
more as its support rather than as its
field Of endeavor. While they are look
ing at the problems of the foreign ma
tions, it was pointed out, they have
neglected conditions at home. What Is
needed it was declared, is a closer
study of the communities and the prop
err extension of the church facilities to
the needs discovered
The object of the federation, as eX-
pressed in it's bylaws, is to deepen
within the church the sense of social
obligation and opportunity; the study
of social problems and promotion OF
social service"
The election of officers was one of the
first duties performed. and it resulted as
follows: President, Rev. Herbert Welch.
president of Ohio Wesleyan University,
Delaware Ohio; vice presidents. John vii.
