DR.. Clyde Clay Clssell. pastor Of the
Hanscom Park Methodist church, active in
the deliberations of the conventions, makes
this statement for The Bee:
1.-THE Board Of Home Missions and Church
Extension represents a vast work under
the direction OF the Methodist church. Its
field is co-extensive with that of the re-
public Wherever the flag floats as an
ensign Of secular possession there this
board raises the ensign OF the cross for
spiritual victory. The motto Of this board
Is America for Christ, and its watchword
Is The entrenchment of Christianity and
patriotism. Previous to the first Of this
year this work was carried on by the
missionary society OF this church and the
church extension society. According 20 the
action of the Los Angeles general confer
ence. the work of home missions was sepa-
rated from the general missionary society
and consolidated with the church extension
work under this new board.

nearly 5000 and the church membership has
increased in the same proportion The
board of church extension and the home
department Of the Missionary society have
gone into every new settlement to plant a
church and preach the gospel and have
had almost everything to do in moldng
the moral and religious character of this
section Of our nation. While l am over
whelmed with the magnitude OF this work,
yet believe we will accomplish it by the
grace Of God. Measured by all proper
standards the Board OF Home Missions and
Church Extensions has an unparalleled OPP
portunity' and tremendous responsibility.
In the campaign for the conquest Of Amer
lea for Christ we must plan and work and
so work as to capture this limitless terri
tory Of the west"

Remarkable Pair of Henn.

At the public sale of the property OF
William Stengel at Bailey. Pa. pair OF
chickens which Mr.. Stengel says he has
owned for thirty-hve years, and which had
been laying all that time, were sold for
$12.
Mr.. Stengers farm is located far from
any negro campmeeting grounds. For
years it had been the custom when any
ministerial conferences were held in thlI
section OF the state for him TO double
lock and bar his chicken coop.
The visit of the local preacher to the
stengel farm always resulted in a hurry
call for secretion Of the favorite hens.
Young chickens were hastily Slaughtered
and conspicuously displayed.
The purchaser of the hens is said to be
contemplating opening a railway restau-
rant.

II Is always an interesting sight 20 see
strong, enthusiastic men assembled to ac-
complish good for their fellow kind, and
the meeting just closed IN Omaha was one
OF the most notable OF its character On
this occasion were gathered many OF the
foremost workers in the home mission and
church extension field. Among them were
Rev. George Elliott, D. D., OF Chicago,
feld secretary for the board; c. NJ. Bos-
well. d. D., assistant corresponding sec
rotary Of the board, OF Philadelphia, who
has charge OF the New York, New York
East Philadelphia, Wilmington. Baltimore
and Newark conferences and n host of
others, including the earnest home mis-
sion workers of Nebraska and many from
western Iowa
Throughout the whole meeting was
breathsd the spirit OF the revival OF Meth
oaism and Christ. Scarcely a speaker but
= liked Enthusiastically of the reviving sea-
son OF old-fashioned Methodism and dis
couRtenanced the phraseology of modern
methods and an ''up-to-date gospel" Tho
general plea and most strongly put was
that the gospel has lost none OF its divine
energy when preached with grace and sim
plicity, and that revival services properly
conducted, are of the utmost value in
arousing communities to the necessity OF
pure and undefiled religion.

which had a splendid bearing upon the de-
cadence Of the country church, which
no attributed to the scattering Of
tho older settlers and the influx Of
newer and strange population. His
reference to the country church brought
out many pathetic "reminiscences among
the gray-headed ministers present, some
OF whom knew and remembered Peter
Cartwright and other famed circuit riders
of long years ago. Rev. Franklin Nc
Efresh ID. D.. once said Of the country
church:
Its story Is written in prose The path
to its door is dust or mud. It has neither
nave, transept nor loggia, II has neither
duet or quartet. occasional or process
sional; seldom an anthem. just singing. It
has neither learned discourses nor eloquent
homllies-just preaching. Its pulpit is not
filled by the reverend doctor Of newspaper
reputation. Yet this preacher and his
church grip men and hold them to right
eousness, build men up in character, and
give ideals to the whole community with
q thorouEhness that no other part of the
church reaches. The facts justify sacri-
fee, the past is worthy OF noble pride,
the opportunity demands service. The
scant support Of the country preacher Is
a menace to the future of the church. The
call for more liberal treatment is an issue
to which the leaders Of the church and
the workers in the country itself must
turn. The ministers Of the country churches
must be supported in comfort to be true
leaders OF the community. They must be
fed in body and brain to do the heroic
and masterful work that lies before them"

Methodlsm and Optimism.
II has long been recognized that Method
ism is the incarnation Of optimism and
that It has a genius for achievement 1t
was once thought that the cry "a million
for missions seemed extravagant. Such
was the spirit OF the Omaha meeting that
even the most pessimistic OF the members
believed Methodism would respond and go
beyond the 100000 line.
Hopefulnsss, enthusiasm and optimism
were the prevailing features OF this great
convention. ''MethodiHn," said DR.. Ilin,

Christian civilization west of the Missis-

The impulse received from the Omaha

braces the entire west from the Mis-
issssippi to the Pacific. startling state
ment was made during the morning meet
ing last Tuesday wherein Rev. T. c. Ilin,

the work in the conferences of Nebraska,
north Nebraska, northwest Nebraska, west
Nebraska, Iowa, northwest Iowa, Des

and north Montana, said:
What we most need is great active lead
ers in this tremendous field Of the west in
which there are more than 100000 of peo-
pie. Methodlsm has no bishop between the
Mississippi and Puget Sound. while the
Catholic church has two bishops in South
Dakota alone. We need not only bishops,
but preachers. presiding elders and laymen
who can carry the living voice OF God into
these communities. We are selling too
many churches and parsonages instead OF
building them. Unless we hold America
for Christ now and tomorrow. every other
mission field will be crippled. II we hold
America for Christ we shall soon see tho
whole world marshalled under the banner
Of the cross and the Star Spangled Ban

LIST SIX MONTHS.
Permanent Naval Display at
Jamestown Exposition.
(By George F. Viett.)

Norfolk, Va, May 24.-While not
on so tremendous a scale as in the
opening weeks the naval display at
jamestown will nevertheless be main
tanned in an adequate manner
throughout the entire period of the
Exposition.
The United States government has
assigned three ships to duty right
off the great pier during the seven
months and these will be constantly
open to the inspection of visitors.
Considering that the most popular
exhibit at the Worlds Fair at Chicago
was an i'm itation battle-ship built
on piles in the lake, the reality of the
jamestown squadron will be of the
greatest interest to strangers from
the interior. But this is by no
means the limit of naval representa-
tion; the barbor of Hampton Roads,
being a naval rendezvous, is seldom
without several war vessels lying at
anchor, and the ships of the United
States navy are constantly arriving
and leaving the harbor. The Navy
Yard at Portsmouth, and the great
plant at Newport
News, are generally crowded with
war craft under construction and
undergoing repairs so that no visitor
need leave the section without hav-
ing his curiosity fully satisfied con-
cerning naval matters.
This is to correct the impression
that the dispersal of the present
feet signifies the ending of the naval
display. At no time during the en-
tire period of the jamestown Ex-
position will there be less than
twenty-five war ships on the nearby
waters for the instruction and enter
tainment of visitors,
