RECONSTRUCTION
DRIVE LAUNCHED
METHODISTS OUTLINE PLANS
FOR GREAT "AFTER THE
WAR" REBUILDING

The Methodist Episcopal church, IN
the form of its Methodist missionary
centenary, is now presenting to the
American people the most gigantic
religious effort ever conceived by any
denomination.
Local Methodist churches have al
ready begun some features of the
centenary plan, which will not be con-
cluded until July.
Here is what the Methodist centen-
airy includes:
The collection of $105, 100000 to be
expended on home and foreign mis-
sions and on reconstruction work
abroad
The enlistment of 100000 persons
pledged to daily "interces-
sors," as they are known.
The enrolment of l 100000 tithers,
that is, persons who recognize that
they are stewards of Gods property,
and will give to the work of the
church tenth of their annual in
come.
The securing of pledges from 3d.
900 young people that will give the
balance of their lives to work of
Methodism, at home or abroad.
And 100000 Methodist minute men
are to be enrolled 100000 are already
enrolled) who shall tell in 5-minute
talks the story of the centenary in
churches, theatres, lodge gatherings
and wherever they may be heard.
Specimen speeches for these men are
being written by President Wilson,
ex-President Taft and many other
notables.
So, while the Methodist centenary
introduces to America the most gi-
gantic financia program that has
ever been conceived by any religious
denomination, at the same time it is
believed that there will be kindled in
and outside Methodism great reli-
gious renaissance, such as has long
been prophesied as result of the
Unr.
The Methodist centenary is the cell
ebra6onj of the Tooth anniversary of
the establishment of Christian mis-
sions in America.
Here is a skeleton idea of what
Methodism will do with it's gigantic
funds, which it conf IDENTIFY expects
to collect shortly after the Victory
loan.
Build great community churches,
open seven days week, in large cit
les, with dorslatories, employment
bureaus and social service agencies,
on the lines of Morgan Memorial in
Boston.

erican politicians, concerning the
peace league, is over the wording of
the leagues constitution. There are a
few who believe that the league of
nations cannot exist under any condl-
lions. Those persons are pesslmists
and conservatives. There is always
a few Of these people, but not many,
among the Anglo-Saxon races. They
are the people who desired Washing
ton to be a king. Men who cannot
see ahead and who believe the world
will always be as it is today. The
men who desired to make Washing
ton king surely did prophesy our
steamships on our oceans, our steam
boats on our lakes and rivers. the
great railroads telegraph and tele-
phone lines that bind this nation to-
gether They could not see the adj
vancement of the people, and that the
people could rule themselves. With
out advancement of course our nation
could not have existed. In fact, we
fought a war for that very reason be-
fore our chains of thought and indus
try were we'll developed Since our
great system of communication has
been created we know that this nation
will exist The whole British En-
pire. which reaches around the
world, is held together because OF
these very reasons. The conservative
is the same in every age as we will
let him be. The future will progress
as the past did We can expert rapid
in inventions and dis
coveries. Already Engllshmen,
Frenchmen and Americans are pre-
pairing to cross the Atlantic by fly
ing The evolution of the aircraft
shows that the trip in the near flu
ture will be a success. London and
Paris, if we just consider time, will
be as near to New York as the city
of Washington was at the time of the
Revolution.

other words, the city community

dist preachers living wage
| Make every Methodist church, ev-
cry Methodist mission 100 per cent
efficient.
Establish industrial educational
centers where the English language
will be taught to foreign Immigrants,
which in someparts of the country are
more than one-half the population.
Make foreign missions efficient, es-
tablish and build colleges and univer-
sites, not Methodist colleges, but
Christian colleges, all other demomi-
nations being welcome to a partner
ship therein. This so as not to let
heathens get the impression there are
several kinds of Christianity.
Aid in rebuilding Europe and help
in getting the American soldier on his
feet again.
That is not the whole of the cen
tenary program, but it is crude out
line of it.
One hundred Methodist laymen orr
ginated the unconventional a preach
er among them. In large measure it
is to be carried out by laymen, espec-
tally the great financial drive, which
will be for pledges over a five-year
period. DR.. Earl Taylor, Methodist
layman, heads the movement, while
John R. Mott, another Methodist lay
man and head of the Y. M. C. A., is
a national guiding spirit.
"Christianize a nation and you dem
ocratize it" is the keynote of the
Methodist centenary, which, in reality
launches a great worldwide cam
paign to Christianize the world.
