Especially -The joint meeting Of dele

church, and the Methodist church OF
Canada, at Lake Junaluska, n. c., to
consider worldwide plans for evan
gelization of the world, which has
closed its meeting here was considered
by many of the most important
religious meetings ever held in the
south.
Plans were adopted to reach the I'M
churched masses in the cities; on the
frontiers, to bring the gospel to for
eign speaking people: to strengthen
the rural churches to improve con-
ditions in industrial centers and to as
SYST in raising the religious standards
of the negroes. Besides this, compre-
hensive measures were passed which
will mean the spending of several mil
lions Of dollars in war work In the
foreign field the needs OF China, Japan,
Korea, Africa, India, Philippines, Mex

carefully considered and supreme eff

Those who attended the conference
just closed expressed the greatest con
hdence that the entire program outlined
at this meeting will be carried out by
the three Methodisms which were rep
resented there. Leading laymen, many
Of whom were bankers and men we'll
known in the business world, expressed
the opinion that the financial plan was
certain of success. The bishops. pre-
siding elders, district superlneendents
and pastors were equally as confident
that within the next five years the
greatest revival ever known in Method
ism in America would be the result Of
the Centenary OF Missions program.
One of the most notable utterances
at the conference was that delivered
by 6ishop James Atkins, of North

We splashed along a muddy road for
about fifteen minutes, finally stopping
at the entrance Of what must have

the door stood an officer in a mack

left. This officer called TO me, asked
my name, number and regiment, at the
