Laymen to Assist Pastors.

Never in its history has the
Methodist church in Louisiana
arranged to have a preacher in
each of it's 400 or more churches
at the same time, but this plan
has been perfected and on May

will speak in each Methodist pull
pit in the state on the Missionary
Centenary. This plan is being
followed out as a preliminary to
the great drive on May 1925 for
S35, 900, 900 in the South and $780,.

Hon. Carter Glass, Secretary
of the Treasury of the United
States, who is also a newspaper
publisher, was the guest OF
honor of the big assembly and
in his brainy way made a strong
appeal in behalf of the Victory
Loan.
He expressed absolute conf
dence that the American people
would put thru this loan as they
have all the others, but he also
expressed the hope that the job
would not be left to the banks
but that one or more bonds of
this Fifth Loan might be found
in every American home.
"The American who quits now
| is like a deserter in the face OF
the enemy" he said. The
soldiers in France and Germany
are sticking to their job until /,

at home do less?:" Mr.. Glass
