Club for Methodist Women

Within the past ten years the mum OCT of clubs for women, with expensive club houses, that have come into existence in the principal cities of England, including London, is one of the features of wom- ems work in that country. A few of them are on religious lines, but far more are on social Methodists of England are erect ing on the site of the old aquarium, facing Westminster Abbey, headquarters for world Methodism
 In this great building, which is to he known as Central Hall, after the name commonly employed in England. there is to be a Methodist Womens club. While in a Methodist house and conducted by Methodist women it will not be in any sense a religious club. On the contrary, il is to be an up to date club of the usual English type. provided with every possi- ble convenience found in club houses for men. The money for the enterprise is provided and the club will be opened. with the rest of the building, in about one year.
 American women. and especially Amer lean Methodist women, visiting England are to be welcomed at this club. The rates ere 10 be moderate considering the eX- ccptional facilities. The aim k to make Headquarters for the Christian women of the world. and yet exclude from it re- 1igion and it's propaganda interests. The cost of tie entire Methodist headquarters including the womens club quarters, is s2,5o0000.

Improving Street Evangelism

The Rev. Reginald j. Campbell of City Temple. London. now in this country in fhe interests of liberal Christianity, and Intending to speak in principal cities as far west as Denver. started three years ago in London school for the training cf streer corner and factory eVangelists. Te has now nine pupils whom City Tenn pie support. These are all it can afford at present. It hopes 10 provide for more later on
 Mir Campbell says he observed that open air evangelism had rather FOOT speakers. He felt they ought to be even better than the regular pulpit preachers. This form of evangelistsc work is ir- creasing in this country. but has long f1oGrished in England. The students in City Temple school spend one month in study and then go out, often to the fur ther ends of the kingdom and preach for two months. This is a permanent plan, Mir. Campbell feeling, he says, that as long as men remain students they will have something worth while to say in their addresses
 While in New York the other day MT. Campbell tried a Thursday noon meeting, after the plan of City Temple meetings. Ills location was not the best. and the ex- pertinent was only partially successful. City Temple is in the heart of the city in Tcndon. The preacher expressed surprise that few American cities have this Thurs- day noon feature in their business dis frlcts

Far Ahead in Gifts

Methodist women. home and foreign boards. have just closed their fiscal year far ahead of anything they ever achieved before Part of the advance is held 10 ke due to the Women's Jubilee Campaign, in which Methodists took a leading uart, but the home women, who had no jubilee conventions, have made almost as great advance.
 Together these women gave to missions last wear S1,724.1oo. Of this the women in- ferested in foreign work gave s939 200, an Hsyance of s195. 900 oyer the previous wear. At the head of the board is Mrs W. r. NcDowell the wife of Bishop McDoH we'll Pforts were made to pass the sl. .lo0 Nof frure but that is now tn he the stunt for fsI2s The women who work for home mis- sions gave s7S4.0nn which is moro than e1NND00 in excess of any previous year.
 Women of most religious bodies either turn their offerines over to tho regular societies. managed by men, or at least tfev turn over considerable part of them, often designatfpg to which causes some or all of their gifts may go. Meth odlst women, unlike others give money and in 'executiNe' boards of their own di- rect It's expenditure. It is said there is Ness interchange of money and workers between Methodist official societies men and wcmen, than any other missionary body in the world
