When you advertise your wants in a newspaper you
talk to one crowd.
If that newspaper is the Imperial Valley Press you
talk to the big crowd that has people than
all the other crowds put together
Some people judge the value of an advertisement by
the one copy they see, but the careful business
judges its value by the thousands of others seeing it.

withdraw and form an independent de-
nomination or amalgamate with the Afri-
can Methodist Church. Any move to elect
colored bishop, 1t Is declared, will be
opposed by delegates from the southern
section of the country.
Along with the movement to have
bishops districted, there will be an at
tempt to have the same bishop preside
over the same conferences during the
quadrennium between meetings Of general
conference. 1t is commended that by this
plan the bishop would be given ap oppor-
tunity to get in better touch with the
needs of the district and could see the
results of his appointments. At present
1t usually happens that after making APP
pointments the presiding bishop is forced
to hurry to another part of the country
to take charge of another conference.
The Baltimore delegation will work to
have a branch Office of the Book Concern
established in that city. At present the
Baltimore affair Is handled by private
concern, and 1t is felt that Baltimore is
entitled to an official representation of
the main branch in New York.
From present indications it would ap-
pear that the Book Concern will be one
of the matters which will cause some
discussion. 1t is planned to consolidate
the two large houses in New York and
Cincinnati.

This proposition. which at the last gen.

at this conference, it is stated. One of
the principal objections urged against this
move is that it would be impossible to
have the bishop preside over colored con-
Serences only. In order to make such a
ruling the constitution of the church
would have to be changed. Unless that
was done, it is pointed out he would
have the same right to preside over white
conferences as other bishops.

Outlying Home Fields.

In addition to the claims Of the immi-
grant at our doors. Of the freedman in
our land, Of the Indian on our plains and
of the mountaineers Of our southland,
we have in our care the natives of our
possessions.
What Is your denomination doing for
the hungry souls In Porto Rico, Alaska
and the Philippines?
In Alaska the needs Of young and old
are very great. The Eskimos. in the
main. are without civilizing. educational
or religious advantages. Polygamy
prevails among them, and wives are
taken and discarded at pleasure. Female
infanticide is practiced, and the husband
buys his wife. frequently a mere girl,
from her parents. Here is an exalted
and fruitful field for missionary labor.
We are told that the white men of. the
The hope for the people there is in the
heroic labors Of our home missionaries.
The 6itka Training School has done
much to alleviate conditions; but there
Is still large room for Christian en-
deayor for these people. What aid are
you rendering?
In Porto Rico its citizenship is our
citizenship and we are deeply concerned
with its future. The condition and habits
of some Of the children Of that island are
such. 1t is declared, that 1t cannot be
repeated in print. The only hope is in
the labors Of the Christian missionary to
bring the type of manhood and woman
hood Of the Porto Rican citizenship up
to any real standard OF worth and USE
sfulness.
In the Philippine Islands the peoples
condition resembles that Of Porto Rico.
The problem there Is complicated by the
presence Of savage peoples and the BAN
ners Of Islam. The children are the
heaviest burden-they throng every
where. At four or five years Of age
they are bound out by their parents.
They smoke, girls az well as boys, yet
travellers credit them with being the Do
litest little folk alive.
They will one day be American citi-
gems. What Is your denomination do
ing to at these young people with "old
world ways" for American citisenship?
At the Christian Endeavor meetings
this week let each one who takes part
tell what home missions his or her de-
nomination has established in behalf OF
the emigrant, tho freedman. the Indian,
the mountaineer and the natives OF our
possessions, and bring remembrance to all
that they may harken to Christ's words:

TOPIC:
The Home Missions of My
Denomination. A bird's-eye
view.-Ps., 33:8-22.
The Home Field.

Ine home F1elQ.
N the treatment Of this topic the
writer is handicapped at the
- outset, for the reason that he
does not have a birds eye-only an
ordinary. human blue eye-and he can
not see as far or as distinctly as a bird
can. However. the human perception
has one advantage over the birds view
of things, in that though the former
may be less comprehens it is far
more compromising in the things
seen.
There is great deal to be seen that
is thrilling and inspiring even in a
cursory view of the home mission
work Of any one Of our denominations.
Our home mission field is broad and
farreaching; and in its vast area lies
untold possibilities for the glorious
harvest that may be reaped by de-
voted and consecrated Christian labor
Beginning at Ellis island, it widens
out through all the cities, towns and
villages Of the Atlantic coast, thence
nationwide. embracing Cuba and Porto
Rico, 1t extends to and through all the
western frontier to the shores Of the
Pacific, thence beyond the limits Of
Puget sound and the Golden Gate. 1t
includes the vast land OF Alaska and
thence thousands Of miles across the
seas takes in the Philippines of the
orient and the Hawaiian Islands.
A bird s-eye view Of all this is out
Of the reach Of perspective possibility
No eagle, perched upon some central
eerie, could scan q thousandth part of
the domain in which our home mission
endeavor is spread.
What is your denomination doing for
the immigrant that lands on our shores?
What is 1t doing for the negro within
all our borders? What is 1t doing for the
Indians IN all the regions Of the west?
What is It doing for the mountaineers Of
the south, and what Is 1t doing for the
natives of our possessions?
Give the answer to these questions in
your meeting this week. It il not SO
much what any one denomination is do
ing, for its possibilities are necessarily
limited, but is in the unity Of effort by all
Christians, that large accomplishments
are made possible.
There is church unity In the home mis-
sionary field. but there Is room for
closer and more effective cooperation.
The stronger. this unity grows and the
greater the spirit of. cooperation becomes
the sooner will come the better and high
er life among our people. but our theme
just now is about what my" denomina-
ton means to the mission enterprise of
our own land.

Messiah-King and His Kingdom.
The book Of Matthew is constructed
around the central idea Of Jesus as the
Messiah-King. His gospel is emphaticalIy
the gospel of the kingdom. He uses the
expression kingdom of heaven" thirty
two times. and is the only New Tesla
ment writer that uses II. The presump-
ton is. therefore. that the expression en-
bodies a concept peculiar to itself. which
is the case. 1t is common for the phrases

but this is q mistake. While 1t is true
they do cover, in some measure, the same
spaces of meaning. they nevertheless have
areas OF signification that so di1erentiate
them as to distinguish them the one
from the other; and they should be used
accordingly.

The Immigrant.

My Christian reader, I ask you what is
your denomination doing in diffusing the
principles of Christianity among the
countless hordes Of foreigners who are
daily landing upon our shores? The ships
are continually unloading the human car
goes of men. women, boys and girls and
little children and tiny babies. There are
Germans, Poles. Italians, Swedes. Greeks,
Slavs and various other nationalities, and
they are coming. as most OF them think.
to a LAND flowing with milk and honey
all to be united under one fag-the Stars
and Stripes-and that is well.
But how much better for them and for
US as q nation that they be united under
the banner of the cross! That is the
great aim of home missionary work
among the immigrants, and 1t is Of vital
importance to our national life. Unless
they are Christianized they become q
menace instead of q help to our Ameri-
can citizenship.
What are you and your denomination
