FORWARD MOVE.
RALLY In OMAHA
Bishop Henderson Says Minister
Who is Too Big for House
Work is Not Wanted.
SHOULD DO JUST AS PAUL DID


There is a great difference between
church work and work Of the church.
THIS was forcefully pointed out by
some OF the speakers at the opening
OF the Methodist forward movement
rally for Omaha and vicinity, held at
the First Methodist church.
Both Bishop r NJ. Bristol and Rishop
Theodore s. Henderson Of Chattanooga,
Tenn, emphasized this point The work
OF making quilts to be sold to raise money
for the church. collecting boxes and bar
rels OF clothing for the poor, giving
church dinners and lot Of other things
were mentioned as church work, but not
| work OF the church.
Unless the barrels. the mite boxes. the
quilts and the benevolences all lend them
selves to the work OF the church In get
ting people to God said Bishop Bristol,
they are Of little Importance. For these
things In themselves are not the work OF
the church"
Go Cunning for God.
Bishop Henderson OF Chattanooga
clinched the idea by going even farther
in his discussion along the same line.
Il wish you'd 20 cunning for God with
real bullets. not merely with gunpowder,' !,
he said. God wants you 20 go cunning
and get people into the church that will
do the work of the church. You can't
find folks with a microscope. You must
go after them on your rect.
Back in Tennessee from whence /
just came, we have lot of the kind "
people who don't know the difference be-
tween church work, and work OF tho
church. They say. Don't we pay the
preacher? Don't we pay for coal ard
light? Don't we send up benevolences"
yes. to be sure, but these things arc
not the work of the church. Yes. they
make quilts, and bless them don't know
what we would do without quilts. This is
perfectly good church work; but ] don't
know what we would do without our
mission societies.

Consumers will bear the brunt of
high-priced cotton as a matter of

popular than ever for clothing,

"Textile-prices are bound to
keep pace with the price for the
raw material. and, as an instance
of it, a small merchant who bought
his cotton textiles in the summer
states that his stock has en-
HANGED $1,000 in value over the
price at which he bought early in
the season. On some lines of
textiles the price Is now almost
double the iobbers prices at the
