Meet in St. Johnsbury December 10

District conferences of laymen and
Methodist ministers in 18 different
sections of New England will take
place in the five-day period from Dec.
16 to 20, inclusive. The purpose of
the conferences is to bring more for
chilly to the attention of the laymen
the great plans Of the Methodist Epis-
copal church in connection with the
Centenary celebration of the found
ing of the first Methodist missions.
The great worldwide reconstruc-
tion program of the church was
brought strikingly before New En-
gland Methodism in what was prob
ably the greatest religious conference
ever held in Boston the past week at
fremont Temple, when upwards of
$500 ministers and laymen from all
sections of New England attended
meetings of the most vital Importance
to the cause of Christian democracy
throughout the world.
The great conference was arrang-
ed by the New England Area Council
headed by Chairman Frank C. Dunn
of Gardner, Mass, and the Rev. DR.. j.
l. Bartholomew, executive secretary
of the movement in New England
The district conferences will be SIM
liar to the Boston conference and will
practically reproduce the program.
The conference in this district will
take place Dec. 19 at st. Johnsbury.
Laymen from every Methodist church
in this vicinity, as well as every min
lister, are expected to attend.
The Centenary program calls for
the raising of minimum of $85, ,OOO,-
900 for church development in the
home and foreign fields.
Surveys Of conditions the church is
facing in many lands have been made
with an estimate of the cost of the
imperative needs. Hospitals, dis
pensaries, churches, social centers
and missions and schools are but a
few of the developments planned to
carry Christian democracy to the ends
of the earth. In the program the
church proposes to grasp its greatest
opportunity for service to the world
in broad-minded and comprehensive
program.
