A MERCER OF
CONFERENCES
The Wilmington Conference Was
Formerly a Part Of The Phil
adelphia Conference.

The matter Of merging the Whining
ton and Philadelphia NJ. + Conferences
is being agitated by Peninsula Metho-
dists and the next conference session, at
which the matter will probably be con
sidered. il at all will be held at Berlin
from March Ord. to April list, 1914.
Bishop Earl Cranston will preside over
the session
The proposition is being pushed by
Superintendent Iloirecker Of the VIII
mington District. and seems to be meet
ing with considerable approval, especially
from the ministers Of Wilmington. DR..
HotFecker gives number Of reasons for
the desirability Of such a change. from
his point of view. chief among them
being that both conferences would be
strengthened, in that il would mean a
consolidated membership. a larger ter
ritory. greater energy along all lines.
union of interests and greater oppor-
tunities He points out that because of
its limited territory. being confined to
the State Of Delaware. the nine East
crn Shore counties Of Maryland and two
Virginia counties on the Peninsula. the
Wilmington Conference has not been
able TO forge ahead as well as il would
have done if conditions had been differ.
cnt In his opinion there are many
obstacles as the conference is now coh-
sttuted, which prevent it going ahead
as it should. and he believes that with
the Philadelphia influence much better
results could be accomplished Larger
opportunities. he believes. would be
beneficial to the individual members OF
the conference Il would increase the
advantages Of the clerical as well as
lay members, wnocould not, in his opn-
ion, help but profit
How the Methodist public will feel
about the matter remains to be seen,
but il is believed that there will be a
difference Of opinion. especially in VIII

of churches of that denomination. and

Once upon time there was body of
men who decided to build comfortable
home. When they began to clear the
ground for the foundation, they found
a large stone occupying the place where
they wished to build.
They tried, one at time each in his
own way, to lift the stone, but they
could not move it, then they tried all
together, yet they could not move it,
but they were persistent and day after
day, year after year they tugged and
lifted with the same result.
One day an outsider came along and
having looked over the situation said:
Gentlemen, why don't you use your
think tank? You can overcome great
obstacles by using little judgment
You should not overlook the fact that
your head was intended for several pur-
poses and not alone as place to stuff

stone is removed; by so doing you will
be successful and will not be in danger

GERMAN WAR loan
AsT0uNDs WORLD.
Kaiser Raises $l,050,ooO,oo0 In
Largest Financial Transac-
lion Ever Recordedse

BERLIN, October 20. Correspond
enee Of the Associated Press). The
raising Of 81 ,o5o, 100000 by the German
Government IN single operation is
commented upon by the German press
and by the press Of number Of men
trail countries as remarkable evidence
Of Germany Is financial power Aa
Dr. Karl Helfferich, one Of the d.
reetors of the Deutsehe bank who dis
cusses the loan in bankers publiea-
tion, points out that this is the largest
financial transaction that the world has
ever seen. The nearest approach to H.
was the indemnity of $l,000,000,000
paid by France to Germany after the
Franco Prussian war; bot that sum was
raised in two separate loans, and the
payments on them extended to two and
a half years. France had the help Of
foreign countries in raising the war in
demnity, while Germany did not ask for
any foreign subscriptions and is raising
the huge sum already mentioned wholly
out Of its resources
Furthermore, Helfferich shows that
the subscriptions to the German loan
all represent bona fde transactions, for
the full amount of-eaeb tender is to be
paid in before the end Of the year, At
ter the iban shall 'hhyes been fully paid
in, says Helfferich Germany win have
money enough in hand TO pay its war
expenses into next spring.
| Helfferieh finds that the marked sue
cess Of the German loan had three
causes First, Germany has far out
stripped England and France In the
creation Of wealth during the past few
decades; secondly, Germany Is incom-
parably better, organized, financially
and in general business way, than its
enemies; and thirdly, the German peo-
pie are showing more self-sacrifcing
spirit in this war than the other coun-
tries.
As illustrative Of the last point, he
says that three-fourths Of the persons
/ subscribing for the loan were able to
take only amounts Of $500 and less.
This means that there were some s00,-
900 Of these small subscribers. This
srmy Of petty capitalists strikes He'f,
ferich rs being fully as impressive as
the success Of the loan itself.
