Laymen to Put in Week
Registering Delegates
For Convention.

Inspiration came from Portland to-
day to those interested in furthering
the Laymen's Missionary Movement
convention. when they received tele-
gram from the executive committee Of
Portland reporting the success Of the
Portland meeting.
The telegram declares that the meet
ing in Portland has been a source Of
great wealth in the matter of the dis
seminatiOn OF religious knowledge,
particularly regarding the mission
field, and reports over 200 men en-
rolled in the work. The message fol-
lows:
over $500 delegates assembled in
the closing session Of the greatest
Observation-Disclosures convention
ever held in Portland.
They send greetings to FL Paso
churches and urge THAI no effort
be spared to bring every man in
FL Paso to the Laymen's convention
session there.
The program far exceeded our
expectations. No, greater service
can be rendered to any layman or
pastor than to bring him under the
inspiration Of the sessions Of this
convention.
Next week every effort will be bent
towards registering a large number
of delegates for the FL Paso conven-
ton. Inc matter OF registration Will
also be discussed in the local churches
Sunday and laymen will be given an
opportunity in each Of the churches to
place their plans before the men Of the
congregations and sign them up for
Speakers All Noted Men.
The men conducting the conventions
all come recommended as extremely
strong speakers and unusually capable
men in their lines Of work Among the
leaders in the movement and among
the best of the speakers who will APP

Mr.. Crowther went to work in an
English cotton mill in Lancashire when
he was 10 years old for a wage Of 20
cents a week and he sold newspapers
on the streets OF Burnley, where he
lived, to help supplement the family
income. He was converted in Wes-

Their reason for declining 10 SIT at TINS

partisan in its spirit. The situation In
Methodism is said to be embarrassing,
and likely not little to interfere with
action three months hence, looking to
a proposed union of these three Metho-

Methodism.
A contention has long obtained among

500 cases needing relief and support.
The present fund is for such emer-

AMERICAN CATHOLICS GO
TO AID OK EHVRCH SnCTFT

~ AAD UT II
The Roman Catholic society for the
Propagation Of the Faith. for the first
time since II appealed to Catholics Of
America for funds, has just issued a
report in which only American gifts
are mentioned This is due to the fact
that large supporters heretofore have
been Catholics of Germany, Austria and
France. All Of them at war, American
Catholics have come to the rescue, a
fact that the report just out acknowl-
edged. Conditions now and one hun
dred years ago, at the close of the
NapOleanic wars, are paralleled in many
ways. and now as then owing to war,
missionary conditions are desperate.
Reports from European givers are
wanting, but American Catholics gave
last year some $4,000 more than ever,
making Americas contributions more
than quarter Of a million dollars. The
Archdiocese Of New York alone gave
S191, zoe, making it next to France in
normal times in its support Of Catho-
lie foreign missions. The fear is ex-
pressed that lack Of European sup
port because Of the war will serious
IN cripple the entire work. The eff
feet will be little felt this year, since
alone OF all missionary societies. Cath
olics collect money one year and spend
il tie 1seyt. During 1916 and 1917 the
situation is said 20 he grave indeed.
The work involved is ia Asia. Africa
and the South Sea islands.
For the first time also the Catholics
report makes mention OF Protestant
foreign mission support from America.
and its tremendous growth within the
last century It also mentions the lay
mems Missionary movement. and the
fact that twice as many men as six
years ago attend these conventions at
their own cost. During the year, so
the report says, American Catholics
helped through the society, the dis
tressed Catholics OF Mexico to the ex-
tent Of $500.
