The Great Methodist Missionary Drive
May Is to Is.

It may be thought incredible
by some that there are Chris
tians today who are willing to
lay aside one-tenth of their in
come and give it to the work OF
the church. but such is true.
Rev. j. o. Bennett, pastor OF
the Methodist Church in Colfax
and Montgomery is authority for
the statement that there is in
the Methodist Church here only
one tither. This number is to be
increased as a result of an inten-
sive campaign, during which the
missionary needs of the world
will be set forth with earnest
exhortations to Methodists that
it is their duty to do their ut.
most to make it possible to evan.
gelize the world.
The Methodist Church has
been active in missionary work
for 100 years. but, considering
The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1919-04-12

the size of its membership and
wealth, the heads of the denom-
nation have considered that thus
far Methodists have been play
ing at missions. Now the pro-
gram calls for an offering OF
$115, 600, 600 to be given in five
years, all of which will be spent
in home and foreign missions.
A reconstruction program will
be carried out both in Europe
and America. Of this amount
Southern Methodists are to raise
$35, 600. 900.
The method of securing this
amount of money is an extensive
one. 1t has been said by Bishop
Atkins, one of the leaders OF
the Missionary Centenary, that
when 1000, 600 Christians go
from their knees to any task. it
shall be done" Already Metho-
dists all over America have made
the pledge to pray earnestly for
the success of this campaign.
Millions Of leaflets have been
circulated in almost every home
of the denomination, and offices
are being maintained in every
state and conference territory,
where a force of men and wo.
men are being kept busy telling
the people why the denomina
ton wants $35. 600. 600 and what
| it will do with the money wher
it comes. 1t is this information
that has convinced so many
Methodists that the only way t.
do all the work the church ought
to do today is for the individual
to divide his money with tn

How Diphtheria IL Contracted.

One often hears the expression. my
child caught severe cold which de-
veloped into diphtheria. when the
truth was that the cold had simply left
the little one particularly susceptible
to the wandering diphtheria germ. If
your chilo has dold when diphtheria
is. prevalent you should take him outof
school and keep him off the streets un-
til fully recovered, as there is a hum
dred times more danger of his taking
diphtheria when he has cold. When
Chamberlain Cough Ramedy is given
it quickly cures the cold and lessons
the danger of diphtheria or any other
germ disease being contracted.

The Time it Takes to Conclude Peace.

The Time it Takes to Conclude Peace.
Republican critics write des-
pairingfy of the exasperating
waste of time by the peacemak-
ers at Paris. They are filled
with fear lest Bolshevism sweep
across western Europe and head
this way before the dilatory con-
spirators at Paris finish their
job. If only the Senate could
have had a hand in the task it
would have been finished long
ago to the eminent satisfaction
of everybody.
The New York Evening Post,
however calls attention to an
other peace conference. 1t was
that which met in Paris to close
the Spanish American War.
That was a war which lasted
only a few months. 1t was a
battle between a giant and a
pigmy. When the fighting was
over the questions to be settled
were not very complicated.
Only two nations had an interest
in the result.
But it took more than two
months for the treaty-makers to
frame their covenant. They
met on Oct. /. The treaty was
not ready until Dec. 10. And
yet it was a Republican Presi-
dent who was directing the ne
gotiations and three august
United States Senators were
members of the small American
peace delegation!
The present peace conference
has been in session upwards OF
four months. But it has in its
hands the writing of a treaty
. which will bring to an end the
greatest, war in all human his.
tory, a war in which seven mil
lion men were killed or died Of
wounds, a war in which the
property destruction exceeded
anything the mind had ever con
ceived, a war in which practical
ly the whole globe was, involved
and q war which is to have as I
sequel the most extensive feat
in new map-making the worlt
has ever known.
If it required two months ant
ten days to make the simple
Spanish-American treaty, per
maps some statistician may b,
able to calculate how long i
would require an American sena
torial delegation to bring tn
world war to an end. New Or

The question of pay for thu

. enforced closure of the schools
caused by the influenza epidemi,
, was discussed pro and con ant
