Distress Known.

London-From a position of afflu-
ence, popularity and public service
which won him q seat in parliament
and a knighthood, Sir Luke White Is
ending his days as the inmate Of a
workhouse infirmary in Driffield. Clev-
er enough to rise from poverty to a
noted career, injudiciOus investments
brought him low, and at the height of
his political power he was forced to
confess himself bankrupt. He carried
down with him numerous trusting con-
StituentS, and his liabilities Of $135,-
600 included $4,000 in loans from
poor people who had contided their all
to him. The shame Of having thus
wrecked the savings of those who be-
lieved in him completely unnerved
him. Now he is dependent on public
charity, his spirit utterly crushed. and
he is one of the most pitful figures in

Born in leighton, near York, in
1S45, he was an office boy at fifteen
for a solicitor, who paid him about 80
cents a week. After eight years in
that service, of course with Increasing
income, he became managing clerk for
another solicitor in Driffield In an
other six years he was admitted to
the bar as solicitor, and in the same
year he succeeded to the practice of
his employer, who had died.
He speedily became known as a
local preacher and speaker for a large
district, and he was highly popular
and successful. For years he was
chairman of the local board, and then
of the urban district council. Then he
went to the East Riding county coun-
Gil. In 1896 he was appointed one of
the coronerS for East Riding He act

tion exists with us. The world may be
brought to Christ in our time, genuine
world democracy and human brother
hood may be achieved, and the era of
war and industrial strife give place to
permanent peace and good will, if the
churches of America consecrate them
selves to this achievement"
World Needs Surveyed.
The first main obj jective of the cen
tenary drive is to equip every Methodist
mission, at home and abroad, for 100
per. cent efficiency. Forty million
dollars has been appropriated for each
branch of the work, and the exhaustive
survey tells in detail just where and
how the money is to be spent.
"The Christian religion is the only
religion which answers the need of the
day. 1t is peculiarly the religion of
the present, for it is the religion of
dynamic democracy. 1t is the only re-
ligion which can satisfy in these days of
social upheaval. Jesus spoke to the
common people and the common people
heard Him gladly. He was bitter in
His denunciation of caste and privilege.
He proclaimed world for these who
serve their fellow mep, but world to
be gained through the application of
love and fellowship instead of through
violence and hatred.

Big Prayer Drive Planned.
To start the drive the Aiethodists
have organized Fellowship Of Inter
cession TO release the prayer power Of
the church." Tens of thousands have
enrolled in this fellowship, each pledged
to devote a certain period each day to
prayer.
Next, there Is Stewardship drive.

storm, but to equip us to deliver the
goods.
Yesterday many good people
thought Of the church as an institution
to give comfort to the dying and pre-
pare the souls of those who ask forgive
ness for the Day of Judgment and the
unknown life beyond. Today we are
beginning to realize its greater mission.
For individual sin it still offers the one
and only remedy, but if 1t is to be a
power in the world that is, It must apply
the principles Of Jesus to heal not only
the individual but the social life.
"The American Church has hereto
fore had remedy for drunkenness, but
only this year has it abolished the
organized liquor traffic. Heretofore it
has offered to each seeker an adequate
remedy for wilfull idleness, but it did
not attempt to solve the unemployment
problem. 1t has L,ld out remedy for
personal greed, but 1t often seemed in
different to those social abuses which
led to extremes of wealth and poverty.
It has taught kindness to servants, but
It has not thrown itself in any organized
way into the modern workingman's
struggle for living wage. 1t has
theoretically taught the universal
Fatherhood of God, but not until the
present time did it enlist body and soul
in war for world democracy.
Bold Labor Program Adopted.
"Six years ago the Methodist Epis-
copal Church Of America adopted a
definite labor program. 1t boldly asr
serted the right Of the workers to en-
ployment, and their right not only to a
living wage, but to the highest wage
that industry can afford to pay. 1t
'sympathized with the aims and aspira-
tions of the modern labor union, but It
went further in its labor program than
the unions could go. II demanded JUS
tice and something more. 1t demanded
that the problems of employer and en-
ployed be worked out under the in
spiration of Christian fellowship, and
that industry be organized, not to sat
isfy the individual thirst for wealth, but
to extend to every one the highest OPP
portunity for joyful service.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church"
he said, SIS the only church which now
has missions in every country on earth.
We are not afraid of any situation we
can possibly find in any foreign field.
Our missionary society is not afraid OF
wars, famine or plague. We are not
afraid of hostility or repression. The
only thing we have to fear-the only
thing that can now stand in the way of
q completely successful campaign--is
indifference on the part Of the church
at home.
"The American Army, with all its
splendid spirit and indomitable will,

miss volunteer system, but according to
the principles Of selective service. The
Methodist section alone, including the
Southern branch, will be financed with
$l20,000,000.
Layman Suggests Idea.
The movement in its inception was
not ecclesiastical. 1t was democratic.
DR.. S. Earl Taylor Is Methodist lay
man. That name won't be repeated
often if DIR. Taylor can help It. He is
not self-advertiser. Personal honors
do not interest him, any more than have
the urgent appeals from several COM
mercial institutions to leave his mission
ary work and devote his talents, at
many times his present income, to their
business interests. Actual achievement
in the service, of his Master is his one
measure of success. His official position
Is executive secretary Of the Joint en-
tenary Committee.
Although a graduate of divinity
school he refused ordination. He
wanted to become lay missionary, but
because of illness in his family, he could
not go abroad.
Il have always believed In missions"
he has said. Il have always believed in
the great mission Of the Christian
Church. That mission is to bring the
whole world to knowledge of Jesus,
and If thaS mission were too great for
the church to perform, the Master
would never have intrusted the Church
with its performance.
$50 far, the church has not carried
out It's mission. Bat today we have
more reason than ever to have faith in
the church. The church Is awakening.
1t takes no prophet to see that. 1t Is
beginning to realize its mission, and
millions right here In America are now
consecrating themselves not merely to
lead better life according to the old
and inadequate Interpretation of con-
secration but to give 10 the cause of
world redemption and world democracy
their full share of organized service.
Same Old Gospel Preached.
I'VE are not preaching new gospel
We are offering no amendments to the
teachings Of Christ. His plan Of saliva
tion was complete. The difference be-
tween the awakening church Of today
and the eminently respectable and emil
nently futile church of the past Is IN our
fuller realization Of the meaning Of our
Masters message.
Yesterday, It was customary to think
Of the church as harbor of refuge. II
Is a harbori but a harbor has vastly
greater uses than to furnish refuge
from the storm. II Is port Of em-
barkation in the Masters service. II L

One hundred twenty millions of
dollars Is the sum to be raised. In the
campaign to be waged every man,
woman and child in America will be

part Of the globe will be affected.
Only world converted to the prac-
tical application of Christianity can be
considered a world safe for democracy
this is the big idea back Of this great
world movement originated and further
ed by the Methodist Episcopal Church
and the Methodist Episcopal Church
South. Dir. s. Earl Taylor, originator
and present leadera layman, by the
way--of the movement, has explained 1t
all this way: =
THE world cannot be reconstructed
by formula. No mere agreement
among diplomats can heal the wounds
Of war. No international constitution,
however perfect in its phrasing, and no
mere economic revolution, however
sweeping in its scope, can bring about
the universal reign of peace and good
will among men. Such peace Is the
fundamental aspiration of every human
heart, but il cannot be realized through
force, il cannot be realized through gov
ernment and II cannot be, realized
through law alone. World democracy
can and will be realized only through
applied Christianity and nothing but
failhlcssness on the part Of the Chris
tian church need delay It's realization

Emnhasis Placed on Service.
The Methodists have not forsake,
their Methodist creed. In this move
ment there is no attempt to slight the
fundamental doctrine of the Atonemeni
nor that of justification by faith. Bui
undue emphasis will not be placed upor
doctrine. The emphasis will rather IL
upon Christian service and upon re-
ligon of the heart. 1t should be ex-
planned that there is no competition to-
day in foreign missionary work. Where
one denomination is adequately cover
ing the field, the field is left to that lie
nomination, and all The other churchc,
recognize its institutions as The cAprcs
sion of Christianity.
The old system of church extension
in the rural communities will largely he
abandoned Instead OF building little
meeting houses, to be opened once =
week when weather permits and $500
yeas pastor can be supplied, an effort
will be made to build large institutional
churches in the charge of competent and
well salaried executives, not merely MS
places in which to sing hymns and pray,
but as general headquarters of coni-.
munity service. These churches will be
open continuously; will contain libraries
and agricultural exhibitions, moving
pictures, a first aid hospital and every
possible aid to the social and cduca-
tional life of the diacent territory
Anything, in city or country, which per-
forms social service will be considered
a legitimate part of Methodist mission
airy work.
This year," DIR. Taylor remarked,
the churches of America abolished The
saloon. We are jubilant over the VIC
tory; but if we do not do something
more than jubilate, our victory will be a
hollow one This victory has brought
US face to face with new responsibilities
and the churches Of America must not
be slackers. We must fill the place Of
the saloon in the Nations social life.
The churches must be kept open seven
days week. They must attract and
inspire and render useful service. Mare
and more, at home and abroad, the
great masses of Gods children must nc
shown that it is the function Of tie
sChristian Church to serve their nce,is,
not simply to issue holy pronounce
ments. If We do not answer these
human needs at home, the millions who
have been deprived Of drink may be ex-
.pected to turn to other forms Of vice
and If we do not rise to our present OPP
pcrtunities in the world at large we cam
not claim the promise of peace on earth
and good will among men"
