EXPLAINS PURPOSE OF
METHODIST ENDOWMENT

The Rev. Il. Il. Dashiell. corre-
spending secretary of the Wilmington
MI Il. Conference Claimant EidoW-
ment Commission, has issued the fol-
lowing statement setting forth the
purposes of that organization.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church
has done nothing in it's history more
worthy than its present nationwide
enort to place its aged ministers
above want. Men OF sense and appre-
citation. 10 say nothing OF grace, nave
lonr wondered why he, who gave his
life to great. divine, humanitarian
cause. should, when enfecbled by years
be Dermitted by those who repre-
sent and have benefited by that cause
to die virtual object of charity In
this particular the church has been
derelict beyond description: and can
not claim to have reflected either the
truth of the Bible or the spirit OF her
Lord The so-called soulless corpcr-
ation-an institution wholly secular
in its ends-has far oustripped the
church in responding TO a high sense
of duty to its aged servants. And the
fact that the church has become rest
less under the comparison argues
that she is at last awakening to real
izc that she has taught the world high
principles which have heretofore not
been accurately applied in her own
relationship with her ministers. This
failure has not been due entirely TO
unwillingnoss. but TO such absorption
in other important matters as crowd
ed this to the background. But we
are coming now to see that the right
ful place OF this great interest is not
the background. but the foreground
that the church can no longer con-
sistently 80 ministering to the poor
while in her own secret closet lies
an aged minister of God hungry and
unfcd'
This Is followed by an editorial on
the subject from a publication and in
conclusion Mr.. Dashiell says
Few men in Methodism are poorer
than many of her retired ministers
There are. therefore few who can
not, and ought no to, contribute to
the endowment being raised for then
better care. Those more able should
give largely. The day is past for
thinking in dollars when We ought to
think in hundreds; or FOR thinking in
hundreds when we ought TO think In
thousands. We are learning that our
responsibility does not cease until We
have done what VIC ought to do"

have just seen the reports in
newspapers OF the speech made by
ex-President Roosevelt at the
Plattsburg camp. 1t is difficult to
conceive Of anything which could
have a more detrimental effect upon
the real value of this experiment
than such an incident.
This camp, held under Govern
ment auspices. was successfully
demonstrating many things of great
moment. Its virtue consisted in
the fact that it conveyed its own
impressive lesson in its practical
and successful operation and re-
suits.
No opportunity should have been
furnished to any one to present to
the men any matter excepting that
which was essential to the neces-
sary training they were there to
receive.
Anything else could only have the
effect OF distracting attention from
the real nature of the experiment,
diverting considerations to issues
which excite controversy, antago-
nsm and III feeling, and thereby
impairing, If not destroying, what
otherwise would have been SO ef-
fective.
There must not be any opportu-
nifty given at plattsburg or at any
othc. similar camp for any such
unfortunate consequences.
