some of their societies, Methodists are
planning another convention. 1t is to
be held in Indianapolis and is limited
to 1900 delegates. The foremost Metho-
dists, from bishops down, are TO be
present. All possible enthusiasm for
missions and for MethodLsm is to be
aroused, and leaders will be sought who
can be counted on later to help-on
Methodist missionary work. Methodists
IN this instance are giving the term
missions a wide construction, so that
the indianapolis gathering is aimed to
help every form Of work to which
Methodism is committed.
