Earl Taylor's Work
For Methodist Missions

Mr.. G. w. F. Swartzell returned last
week from the session OF the Foreign
Board in New York with glowing as
counts of Earl Taylor. athe layman who
Is one of three new secretaries of the
Methodist Foreign Board. An Iowan
and the son of a Methodist presiding ell
der the Student Volunteer Movement
developed Mr.. Taylor. and he went into
Christian work in almost ideal fashion.
He took a college course, next a theolog-
ical corrse-and then remained lay
man. He had all the training a minister
gets, but is not ordained. A constructor
and builder, the new secretary has had
part In forming many of the new mis-
sionary plans of the last decade and a
half.
He was the business end OF a mission
airy campaign that established mission
libraries and study courses in several
hundred churches OF the Middle West
one summer. He projected the first
series Of mission study textbooks, and
founded the young peoples mission
work in his church. He was one of the
founders OF the Missionary Education
Movement and directed its first summer
conference at Silver Bay. He was chair
man of the committee that worked out
the present mission study textbook
scheme that Is IN use among young peo-
pie throughout the world.
Mr.. Taylor was also chairman Of a
committee that got the Sunday school
people to introduce missions in their
courses. and helped to establish mis-
sionary movement for young people OF
India and japan. He helped the Church
Missionary Society of England to start
its mission study plans. helped found
the National Mission Study Council Of
Great Britain. and the International
Council in Holland in 1911, and for three
years has been general secretary of the
Lapman's Missionary Movement in the
Methodist Church.
He had hardly taken his seat In the
Mission Board Office when he talked
briefly about the conditions and outlook
at the moment. He said the training OF
men in missions has been neglected.
Ministers and women have paid atten-
ton to missions, but men have not. Yet
men are the bone and sinew OF the
work and must always be such. Lay
men must now be taught a system that
is Intelligent and adequate.
The last General Conference appointed
a commission on finance which has be-
gun TO inspect benevolent prospects and
adjust conditions. Mr.. Taylor believes
that the present large debt OF his board
Is due to temporary causes chief of
which are the multiplication OF societies,
and confusion in the churches. Givers

their money into very small sums for

possible, business methods into the

board faces a serious situation, as he
admits, he sees nothing about which to
be discouraged. There is money enough.

cure it, and the societies shown what

Episcopal Church, in Minneapolis, OF

In 1880 he left what was then the largest

which he had had no special training

PRACTICAL DRY-FLY FISHING: By EVELYN NJ.
Gill Charles STibneTs Sons. New York City.
According to the author angling liter
allure has been one long series OF repe-
titions since the days OF Isaac Walton,
with one exception. and that is the lit
erature OF 'dry-fiy'' fishing, which has
sprung up in England since the middle
Of the last century. The art. which has
remained almost wholly English, he
says. is the most scientific and sports
manlike way of taking trout. Our Eng
fish cousins Consider it adapted only to
quiet smooth streams, but the author
proves by long experience that 1t serves
fully as well in cur swifter; and more
agitated waters.
The question: What is a dry-ny?' he
answers thus:
