But Mission Board Decides at
Present 1t Cannot Put
Money in Such Ideal.

NASHVILLE, Tenn, June 6.-At its
concluding session here Thursday night
the board Of missions of the Methodist
Episcopal church, South, adopted a re
port indorsing the interchurch world
movement, but containing a declaration
that it would be unwise for the board
to participate financially In the re-
ligious survey and campaign for funds
contemplated by this movement.
The board took the position that a
financial participation In the movement
was advisable on account Of the
heavy demands on the members of the
denomination in the rfecent centenary
drive and also in view Of the fact that
a religious survey. as far as the inter-
ests Of the Methodist Episcopal church,
South, Is concerned, has just been com
pleted. without mourning m financial
obligation, however, II expressed a de-
sire to cooperate In the broader sur
vey to be made in the interest Of the
Protestant churches generally for the
purpose Of co-ordinating their activi-
ties.
The board adopted a report recon-
mending the establishment of a hos
pital In the West for tubercular
patients and the following committee
was appointed to formulate plans for
the project: Bishops Lambeth and NC
hurry, r. 7. Burge, o. E. Goddard and
Mrs, J.. II. Mccoy.
Bishop Atkins, DR.. W. W. Pinson, DR.,
Belle Bennette, John Pepper and Luke
Johnson were appointed as a deputation
to Europe to visit the various countries
of that continent and report on the re-
ligious needs of the people.
DR.. F. S. Parker, on behalf of the
committee of reference from the CEN
tenary commission and the education
commission submitted a report on the
education of the missionaries. The re-
port, which was adopted, recommends
the addition Of schools Of missions to
the theological seminaries Of the church,
and until this can be done the strength
ening of Scarrett Bible and Training
school at Kansas City.
