able to oppose Mr.. Ansel at that time
and WithdrCW from the race. at the

Vocacy OF statewide prohibition and his
Willingness to keep up the fight
In view of the growing sentiment for
statewide prohibition, and tie fact that
one half of the counties in the State
have already voted prohibition and be-
lieving that the time has come in the
political life of the State for such
campaign, Mr.. Fcathcrstonc announces
that he will make the race in the next
campaign on platform for statewide
prohibition.
The announcement Of Mn. Feather
stones candidacy 50 early in the cam
palgn is in response to numberless in
quirius as to his intcntions he has re-
ceived many inquiries and has been per-
siatently urged to make the race.
While his Withdrawal statement in July
was practically an announcement
that he would make the race two years
hence, the statements yesterday
were made to apprise the many friends
of prohibition as to Mr.. Featherstone S

THE LAYMEN'S MOVEMENT.
Origin of Church Enterprise to Evan
geliZc the World.

The laymen's missionary movement
was presented at the Wednesday night
session by w. B. Stubbs, general secre-
tary of the M. E. Church, South The
movement originated in prayer meet
| ing of laymen in a Presbyterian Church
in New York in November, 1906, in
which the leading Protestant denomina-
tons were represented. They became
convinced that it was possible to evan
gclize the world in this generation if
the business men of America, Canada
and England would take the matter in
hand and apply business methods to do
ing the work.
They put men to work to report on
the needs of the mission fields and to
suggest feasible plan of work.
They reported that the 13, 600 miss ion
aries now in the field could probab ly
evangelize 1926 million in this genera
tion, and that would leave 600 million
to be provided for. That if we will
send one missionary to every 5000, of
these or 27, 900 missionaries from all the
Protestant churches the work can be
done.
The M. E. Church, South, took. by
resolution, of the laymen's Conference
at Chattanooga, April 81, %, 1903, 4O,
100000, which means that she should
send out 10000 missionaries, or one to
every 1000 of her membership. She
now has POI in the field, and paid for
missions last year $1,000 in round
numbers.
She aims to make this million by
March 81, 1909, no to $1,000, 900 in a
few years.
The five leading Protestant denomina-
tions of Canada have just closed seven
weeks series of three-day conferences
in twenty-four of the leading cities of
Dominion, extending from the Pacific
to the Atlantic, 1000 miles. In these
100000 church members who last year
paid $5l4, 600 to world cvangcization
have pledged one million and half
1t is probable that Canada will adopt
a policy of national evangelization in
short time.
The M. +. Church laymen met in st
Louis, Mo-, on the 10th and 11th, and
organized and assured $50 million as
their fair proportion of whom they will
aim to send the Gospel.
Mr.. Stubbs appealed to the Metho-
dists to do their share because the
world is coming to feel the truth of the
motto of John Wesley, who said the
world is my parish, and his spiritual
the great movement.
He insisted that the distinction impli-
ed in the terms home and foreign mis-
sions is misleading, and that missions
are one, and spirit or attitude of
mind in a man or a church toward the
command of Jesus Christ, who said 20
into all the world.
That the only question the Church
should ask is where is the greatest
need, and when this is settled there
should be the greatest effort be made.
The M. E. Church, South, now pays
for all purposes eleven millions to sup
ply the Gospel at home and abroad.
The income of the l,7O0 600 members
at 75c a day is 45O millions; if they paid
to Gods cause a little of this it would
mean "a millions more than is now de-
voted to this work, and would put more
than our share in the field at once.
The laymen of South Carolina held a
meeting in the afternoon, at which they
discussed the work and made plans for
next year,
