you'll have to preach bigger
sermons when the boys come homo
than you have ever preached before"
said Dr. w. B. Hollingshead, and he
continued, you'll have to make your
congregations feel more deeply than
ever before. but | have greater con-
fidence in Iowa than have in any
other state in the union"
In speaking for the allotments for
Des Moines conference he said:
There is not a district in this Coz
ference which will have to pay more
than SIS member each year to carry
out your share of the centenary. IL
that too much for Iowa to spend to
help save the world?"
Bishop Lewis spoke on ''The Time
illness and Urgency of the Centenary"
saying. World conditions resulting
from the war would make such =
world wide program necessary even
if the Methodist church had not
planned it. This program is war
measure" %
He pointed out that in China and
the rest of the orient the centenary
will mean a greater educational,
evangelistic and medical program. AZ
schools and hospitals are to be built
and new equipment and leaders to BE-
| furnished. Here in America the cen-
tenary means community churches
with features best adapted to the par
ticular city in which they are to be
built industrial churches, special
| Americanization work to be done
among our foreign population, and
| for the entire country a greater spir-
itualization through daily prayer.
