Northwestern University is known as
"a Methodist institution" It has just
officially assumed half the expense OF
supporting an az alumnus as principal
the undergrads are pushing ten days
Methodists of the United States are
sending $4,000 a year to Europe to do
missionary work there in the Methodist
name. OF this sum $4,000 a year Is
going into Sweden and Norway, into
Denmark and Northern Germany coun-
tries long counted Christian, and them
selves doing missionary work elsewhere.
About 1900 Methodists are now in these
countries the outgrowth of American
enterprise and zeal. Property worth
more than 100000 has been accumu-
lated, in part through local contribu-
tions, of course. For years amounts
given by Americans to these European
Christians for advance work has slowly
increased, it having been only $4,000
ten years ago.
Now a new plan is to be adopted. II
grows out of new conditions in Southern
Europe, and in Syria and the Holy Land.
The italian work. taking 5000 a year
and having 800 members. is to he

be made in Bulgaria, Macedonia, Al
bania, Asiatic Turkey. and Palestine.
Methodists feel that here are far more
needy fields than exist in Northern Eu-
rope. and now that the outcome OF the
war with Turkey has opened the way
they are quick to take up new plans
and make the change. Workers will be
transferred as fast as possible. Meth
odists have work in Bulgaria and in
Jerusalem. A study of the countries
captured from the Turk is to be made
at once. Education. as we'll as the
planting OF new churches. will be push
ed. and as much effort given to SANTA
ton and health as possible.
