Among the Foreign peoples.

One of the very interesting addresses Of
the convention was that OF Rev. Henry
Danlelson of the Danish Norwegian Epis-
copal church Of Omaha, who spoke Tuesday
forenoon on the subject Of the foreign pep
ulaton problem. He dwelt upon the I'M
portance of home mission work among his
people.
"The problem is 80 great for so small
man as l." said he, that must say very
little about it. You do not know what 1t
is to meet foreigners. They are naturally
suspicious. But at the Immigration dnpots
someone is always present to meet them,
but they are either saloon runners
cret society men. Very few missionaries
are there to meet them. In Chicago there
are 60 900 Norwegians and in the vicinity
OF Omaha and Council Bluffs are 1900
Norwegians and Danes, and not 1000 be-

'This board has built or aided 5000
churches, in every state and territory of
the union, and in Hawaii, Porto Rico and
the Philippines. 1t supports each year, in
whole or in part, over 1900 missionaries on
the frontier. in the south and in the con-
gested foreign populations Of our large
cities. 1t carries on work among the
Welsh, Swedish, Norwegian. Danish Ger
man, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese,
Bohemian Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese
and Finnish populations, also among the
American Indians and among the colored
people Of the south. Besides these. the
board prosecutes work among the native
population in the sparsely settled frontier.
In eighty-seven years the Methodist church
has put $2OOOOOOO into home mission work
and in church extension they have spent
nearly SOOOO,OOO more.
Under this new readiustment OF the
work Of home missions and church extern
sion general advance is expected. The
home field has never enjoyed the same
supervision given TO the foreign missionary
fields. Now, with the incoming OF so many
thousands of foreigners to our country. the
work OF the gospel among them is OF most
vital concern and bears a most important
relation to the evangelzation of the for
egn fields. The board has issued a call for
81 900, eco to carry on its twofod work for
the present year. Besides this, they are
seeking to raise $4,000 more to rebuild
our destroyed churches in San Francisco
ITO enable the board to exercise a closer
supervision Of the field the country has
been divided into districts and secretaries
have been placed in charge Of the work
in these divisions. The northwestern divi-
sion has it's headquarters at Omaha, and
the states of Minnesota. North
Dakota, South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska and
Montana DR.. T. c. Hin is the secretary in
charge. DR.. lin has spent over thirty
seven years in Utah and the far northwest.
He is one Of the veteran workers OF the
church and breaches the gospel with the
old-time fire and is ever ready to talk about

tension.

The convention closed Tuesday evening.
The work Will be carried on with increas-
ing vigor as a result OF this meeting. The
board is aiding in the support of 1000 home
missionaries. In the Methodist Episcopal
church are about 1900 pastors, 1000 OF
whom are serving self-suppOrting churches
and about 1000 receiving aid from the Board
of Home Missions and Church Extension.
The Methodist church is preaching the gos-
guages. which is more than were used after
the day Of Pentecost was fully come. The
Germans and Scandinavtans constitute an
important part OF the best American ciu-
zenship, and the German and Scandinavian
Methodists are among the highest type OF
Methodism to be found in this country.
The work Is being extended to all nation
alties II is a work essentially of patrl-
otism and every lover of his country should
gladly contribute to aid the needy in the
erection OF churches and in the support OF
the men who on small salaries preach the
gospel in these churches.
In the approaching Easter time special
efforts will be made to increase the collec-
lions for home missions and church extern
sion work. 1t has been suggested that as
no convenient time this year can well be
selected in the fall conferences Of the north
western division, that there be taken a
separate collection at this time for home
missions and church extension but not to
the exclusion Of any other cause

summing Up by CisselI.

DR.. Clyde Clay Clssell, pastor Of the
Hanscom Park Methodist church, active in
the deliberations of the conventions, makes
this statement for The Bee: '
THE Board of Home Missions and Church
Extension represents 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 TO 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.

and captured the other The extra wolf
was a marked animal, having lost a foot
in a trap long enough before to acquire
something OF a reputation among the
farmers. His cunning was such as TO pro-
tect him from the many efforts to encom-
pass his downfall until this day He was
hardly able to outrun the dogs, and finally
took refuge under a bridge. Here he was
shot by a farmer who had not taken part

dependent on others for help. He cleared
land, made saw logs, worked for farmers,
could pitch hay, NOW, rake and bind grain,
make shingles and do almost anything that
a person with eyesight could. He made five
hundred to six hundred excellent shingles
a day in the winter, which he traded at
the stores for such commodities as he re-
quired. There are houses in Homecoming
and Barton today that still have on their
roofs shingles made by this blind man.
After the shingle timber was exhausted
Warnock turned his attention to making
handles for picks for the miners. His abil-
ity in going around through the woods and
mountains without getting lost was amaz-
ing When he found suitable tree 1t was
soon felled by the strokes OF his ak, and
the portions he wanted were chopped off.
He could Invariably tell in which direction
the tree would fall. He was fond of music,
and learned to play a violin well. With
his music he was able to make considerable
money, as he gave dances and picnics, at

conducted, are of the utmost value in
arousing communities to the necessity Of

Eject Of Omaha M.ntinn.


The impulse received from the Omaha
meeting is destined to spread until It en-
braces the entire west from the Mis-
ississippl to the Pacific. A startling state
ment was made during the morning meet
ing last Tuesday wherein Rev. T. c. Tiff,
assistant corresponding secretary Of the
board, who will have immediate care OF
the work in the conferences of Nebraska,
north Nebraska, northwest Nebraska, west
Nebraska, Iowa, northwest Iowa, Dea
Moines upper Iowa, Minnesota, northern
Minnesota, Dakota, North Dakota north
ern German, northwest German, Montana
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 If we hold
America for Christ we shall soon sec the
whole world marshalled under the banner
of the cross and the Star Spangled Ban
ner."
