MISSION WORK THEME
OF METHODIST PARLIAMENT.


The first session of the great re-
ligious parliament being held in this
city under direction of the General
Conference Commission on Finance
of the Methodist church. met We'd
nesday afternoon with Bishop r. J..
Cooke OF Portland presiding. Prac-
tically all OF the speakers for the par
lament were present, and were in
troduced TO the delegates and visit
ors by Bishop Cooke before the regu-
lar program was taken up.
The Stewardship of Prayer.
Rev. Harvey II. Calkins was the
first speaker OF the day and gave a
most interesting and thoughtful talk
on THE Stewardship OF Prayer" T"
wherein he showed the absolute ne
cessity OF honesty OF purpose and
faith in the prayer offered, showing
that ever since man has In the least
progressed towards civilization he has
offered prayer to the power he deem
ed omnipotent, and always In the
most fervent way possible for him;
that in the most remote lands, as In
dia. in the depths OF Asia, and In the
Buddhist and Mohammedan worlds.
the religious deyotees have always
showed the greatest faith in their
prayers and have regarded them as
indispensable to their common life.
Mr.. Calkins then emphasized the fact
that Jesus Christ did not teach his
disciples to pray, but rather that He
taught them how to pray, teaching
them, and through them all followers
to come. that in prayer the thoughts
must DO the actual beliefs and faith
offered.
Parliament Worldwide in Scope.
Rev. Henry j. Coker next gave a
brief review of the parliament and its
general purpose, bringing out the
fact that the meeting is not being
held for any especial local benefit,
but that the fundamental idea under
lying the congress is worldwide In
It's scope, and that all the great in
stltutlons for the furtherance OF
Methodism over the world are repre-
sented in this meeting.
Sunday Schools Are Discussed.
Or. Walton Skipworth, one time
pastor OF the Ashland Methodist
church, now of the board of Sunday
schools, talked on the topic, THE
Sunday School and It's Present Day
Opportunities, showing the neglect
cd state OF the Sunday school pre-
vious to the establishment of the
board having them in charge, and
then tracing the wonderful develop
ment made in this work since that
time. He brought out the fact that
in 1908 nearly all the Sunday schools
In the United States were either sta
tlonary, or showed decrease in
membership, and then explaining the
method of building up, arrived at his
climax In the statement of the enorm-

ity OF the Sunday school system to-
day.
A great power for the advance OF
this work was shown to be the Adult
Bible Class instituted under this
board OF Sunday schools. Rev. Skip
worth pointed out that these classes
for the study OF the bible have drawn
many to the help OF the Sunday
school who might not otherwise have
been brought to this work, and have
eventually been great factors in the
broadening of the system. He stat
ed that there are now more than T.
900 organized Adult Bible Glasses In
the work, numbering more than 20O,-
900 members. In closing, the great
growth OF this week was concretely
shown, the membership OF the Sum
day schools today being 900, 900, an
increase OF 100000 over the mem
bership when the board OF Sunday
school took up the furtherance OF
this branch OF the church work.
Plea for the Neglected Child.
In the absence OF the other speak
ers announced for the afternoon,
Rev Henry j. Coke gave a very earn
est and telling talk, taking as his
topic, THE Cry OF the Neglected
Child" Dr. Coke spoke very force
fully on this great social problem of
today, and said that a great deal may
be done in righting the present con-
dtlons by giving the children a
chance to help themselves through
learning better ways Of living and
thinking. II was shown that the
great part of the physical and mem
tai ruin and moral deprayity in
adults OF the lower conditions of
modern life are due, not to any in
herent deprayity, but to the environ
ment given them while learning the
ways OF the world, and that II pro-
per care were given to the develop
ment OF these phases OF the individ-
ual, the greatest social problem OF
today would be well under way to a
solution. But, DR.. Coker pointed
out, this is well nigh impossible
while these children are working by
the millions In the soul and body
grinding work of the great industrial
enterprises Of today. The greater
good is to be done by legislation, but,
the work that may be done by the
Sunday schools in helping raise the
moral standards OF our great cities
Is so great that all possible help
should be given
! II was announced that Rev c. T.
Wilson, who was TO have delivered a
talk on the topic, "The Church and
Saloon" will not be present, but that
this topic will be taken up at later
date by Bishop w. o. Shepard, OF
Kansas City, president of the Church
Temperance Society.

Coker presiding. The Rev. Calkins
talked briefly ON the Stewardship
Of Prayer" and was followed by Mrs.
A. n. Fisher OF the board of foreign
missions, who gave a very instrue-
tive talk on the work and hopes of
this great branch of the church.
Miss Bertha Fowler, Of the Wo-
mans Home Mission society. told Of
the work that great institution is
doing in mission work in our own
country. The scope of this body can
be more easily seen when 1t is known
that the organization numbers some
1000 900 members and owns over
/ S3,O0O,000 in property. The purpose
OF this organization, as set forth, Is
to strike at the root of social evil
and degradation by working directly
through the home, and thus indirect
by influencing the outside life OF the
people.
Bishop Cookies Address.
Bishop Cooke spoke next on the
Freedman's Aid society, the institu-
tion which has done so much and is
still such an important factor in the
moral and mental welfare of the ne
gro. Bishop Cooke ministered for
forty years among the negroes In the
south, and in that time has certainly
become we'll posted as to their needs.
He pictured the helpless and depend
ent condition of the black man at the
/ time OF the emancipation and traced
the remarkable development since
then in the education of the negro
and their industrial advance. 1t was
shown that the negro has penetrated
into every profession and is great
factor in the agriculture in the south.
This progress was then shown to be
the direct result Of the work done by
the church In the south, mainly
since the war and especially through
the medium of the Freedman's Aid
society.
Conditions in Mexico.
DR.. Hancher followed this with
talk on the condition Of the Mexican
poems who were freed In much the
same manner as our negroes nearly
so years ago, but showed that the
Mexicans are still in low state, hay-
ing shown no great tendency to ad-
vance. DR. Hancher then brought
out the fact that this is directly due
to the difference In the religious in
Huence given them. While the in
nuences of the American church
make for great liberty and freedom,
those OF the Mexican branch of the
Christian church hinder and make
for a sort of bondage,
Wednesday Evening Session.
With Rev. Henry j. Coker presid-
ing, the evening session of the first
days parliament of the Methodist
church was opened by brief addresses
of welcome to the city by Rev. JEFF

gun the first address taking up The
Laymen's Missionary Movement" "
wherein Rev. Fred b. Fisher, of New
York City, showed the power for
good that is being done in mission
airy work by the united efforts of the
laymen in giving aid.
Bishop Cooke took up further
outline of the work that has been
done in this line, and showed that
far more good work yet remains to
be done in this line.

Many people are wondering
why the price of eggs remains SO
high this year when they are
much cheaper usually at this time
of the season. The explanation
is given by the fact that the large
packers are buying all the eggs
they can secure and are shipping
them to cold storage plants. In
the fall and winter they will be
shipped back to Monroe to be
sold at more than double the
price now being paid. There are
three concerns buying up the
eggs in the Monroe market. :

McGinty-McCain.

A very quiet but pretty home we'd
ding was celebrated at the residence OF
the brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. M.
Mccain, of Ebenezer, La, on Tuesday,
February IL, 1918, the contracting par
ties being Mr.. H. R. McGinty, of Mesa,
Arizona, and Miss Evalena Mccain,
Rev. j. w. Lee, of Wheeling, perform
ing the ceremony that made the happy
pair one.
The bride was attired in becoming
white dress and the groom wore the
regulation black suit. After hearty
congratulations by relatives and friends
present, light refreshments were serv-
ed. Mr.. McGinty and bride have gone
to their home in Arizona, stopping over
at places of interest on their route.
We congratulate Mr. McGinty on win
ming such lovely girb but our hearts
go out in sympathy to the parents who
are left alone in their declining age
Miss Eva being the last to leave the
home-nest. We especially admired Mr.
Mccain doing the honors of the occasion
in such a brave and soldierly manner
We are reminded that he is not only
the brave soldier who wore the gray
but immortalized himself as one of thu
few legislators who refused to be bough
at any price, when our beloved Stat
