This Is the historical setting Of the
Methodist Centenary, tho greatest

In America. 1t is challenge to the
Christian church to meet the needs Of
these critical hours in world history
by carrying out an adequate program
to bring the message OF Jesus Christ.
In terms OF modern, practical applica-
tion, TO the untaught millions at home
and the hundreds of millions on the
foreign field. 1t involves Il recon-
struction OF the local church to q
more adequate conception OF its 0p-
portunities in the communities at
home. 1t includes vision of world
wide possibilities, faced by the Chris
tian church. with the necessity of
meeting them now or casting them
aside for generations. Observers OF

this Is religious movement which
bids fair to compel the world TO at

Washington, Oct 2-Republfcans who want to give q bonus to ex-sol- dfers in lieu of land, as proposed in the Mondell-Lane bill, are meeting serious opposition within their own ranks, Chairman Platt of the Banking and Currency Committee told the House today a bonus would be too expensive and involved another big bond Issue, increasing the rate of tax atfon.
 There would be further. inevitable infatlon of credit and currency" he
 Id, and, instead of reducing the
 st of living, toward which we have
 ade some start we should start }rices mounting again
 For my part I do not believe any considerable number of returned sol diers would want us to do that, if they understood the situation and I think great many of them do understand 1t, because comparatively few have been influenced by the propaganda which has been so persistently car risd on among them by those who are advocating this so-called bonus,
 'tT am sure that they do not want any effort made to measure the value of their service to the country in dollars or cents, or have anything done that will injure the country or prevent its recovery from the effect of the war"
