METHODISTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an Inspiration Says
Or. Fisher.

Dr.. Fred Fisher Of New York, who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary of the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
ton to the job of mobilizing Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July Il.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman of
the Methodist Church, he says: I'VE
must stress four things. First, TINS
will be big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists OF the United States
have lived more in the past year than
IN any 10 previous years Of their ex-
tStence. Now is the time for them
TO get together and celebrate their
victory.
IN the second place this is an OPP
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities OF
which they have been talking for the
past year. but Of which they have no
personal knowledge. OF these $4,000
men. only negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad Al the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third, this is the time TO finish
the job, to gather inspiration and in
formation to enable the organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important Of ALL
if the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back Of it hold,
it must be the inspiration for plan
ming work for the next century. AS
we look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gather
new faith and new zeal for enter
prises that can be measured only in
terms Of another century We must,
in word, weld ourselves together in
great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR.. Fisher indicated that $50 train
ed executives, in addition TO the 49,
900 volunteer workers, will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next SIX weeks.

A young lady school teacher had
punished Johnnie so often for talking
during school and the punishment had
been apparently without effect, that,
as a last resort, she decided to notify
Johnnie's father of his sons fault.
So following the department mark
on his next report were these words:
"Johnnie talks a great deal"
In due time the report was returned
with his fathers signature, and under
il was written: "You ought to hear his
mother"

WASHINGTON, May 3.-The first ma
tional meeting of the veterans of the
great war will be held at st. Louis
next Thursday, Friday and Saturday to
form the organization that will play
the part in the future that the Grand
Army of the Republic has played since
the Civil War. 1t will be the society
through which the 5000, 900 veterans of
the recent war Will express their opin-
ions on national questions and through
which they will act for the welfare of
former soldiers and the unfolding of
patriotism.
General Pershing Post, No. /, of
Washington, is the first organization
of Importance of soldiers of the war
for democracy, and it is taking vigor-
GUS part in the prelimnares of the
national movement 1t was organized
March 7, with the approval of General
Pershing.
On February Is group of enlisted
men and officers of the American ex-
pedtionary force met in Paris to con-
slider a veterans organization, and on
March Is a caucus was held there and

eral convention.
Colonel Roosevelt on Committee
Lieutenant Colonel Theodore Roose-
welt and Colonel Eric Wood are mem
bers of this committee. They have
been in conference with Colonel E.
Lester Jones of the air service and
superintendent of the United States
Coast and Geodetic Survey, who is
commander of General Pershing Post
No. l. That post with its $500 mem
bers, representative of all parts of
the country has put the whole weight
of its membership and influence behind
this effort to establish an organiza-
ton of oil veterans of the war,
whether officers or privates, which
will appeal to all veterans and elmi-
nate the various scattered and unau-
thorized organizations which have
been attempted.
AS the first powerful association of
veterans thus far formed the members
of General Pershing Post No. l have
taken the lead in drafting a programme
for the convention.
Purposes of Organization
When asked to-day what the CON
vention would undertake to do, Colonel
Jones said that the purposes were

lably will save many families from dis
ruption and unhappiness.
If, as civilian practitioners, we could
handle these cases as the army
handles them, it would be greatly to
the advantage of the patients and the
community at large, and go far to les
sen the spread Of these avoidable in
fections.
If some soldiers returning bring dis
ease to their families and communi-
ties it will not be the fault of the
army or because the men have served
in it. In some few instances men may
cured, this being bound to happen
where so many cases are handled, but
nearly all men infected may be con-
sdered to have acquired the disease
after discharge from the service
Regarding the effect Of army life
upon the health of The soldier, much
could be written The regular hours,
usually good food, constant exercise in
the open and the natural desire of
every man to keep up with the game
make better men of all who live the
life of the soldier.
On this account there can be little
doubt of the excellent effect of uni
versal military training upon the
young men Of the country In addition,
the incubation of respect for authority,
not a common attribute of the average
American, would also be of much bene-
tit to our rising generation.
BY those who have had no military
service the army is often thought to
be made up of motley collection of
undesirable men. After twenty years
service | can say that no class of men
segregated in such numbers as occur
during mobilization will measure up to
the standard of the soldier of the
United States. The older men know the
game better, take better care of them
sci YES, their clothes, their feet, the
animals and equipment it may be their
duty to care for.
With but few exceptions they play
any game we'll that is put up to them
They are cheerful, husky and all good
men and true, and as to their fighting
qualities nothing need be said, par
tlcularly at this time.
1t has been said that "the clergyman
knows man at his best, the lawyer at
his worst, but his physician knows him
as he is" | have known many soldiers
and there is no class of men who will
average up to a higher standard.

weren't chased off; they carried their
