cause of the allies" said Bishop
Warne, who described heroic acts OF
the armies from India.
Turning to conditions in India,
Bishop Warne discussed the great
spiritual awakening towards Chris
tianity-an awakening which has
been the marvel of Christian leaders.
Bishop Warne said:
This movement has swept on,
gradually increasing in force and
expansion until In the Methodist
church alone-to say nothing Of
others-we are baptizing about
10000 converts year, and holding
back about 100000 on our waiting
list. There has never been any
where else such a situation In
church history. These great null
titudes are being held back for
lack of missionaries and money

uation furnishes one Of the
strongest reasons for the cente-
nary call for the conservation Of
the young life of our churches Ia
Christian America and a call to
the whole church for sufficient
funds to meet this great eme~-
gency."
Bishop Warne and other speakers
of the convention presented a vivid
picture OF the similar situation in
other parts of the world, and at home.

DR.. Vogt called attention TO the
constant drain upon the leadership
resources of the country because OF
the marked disparity In standards OF
living between the rural and urban
communities. In one Of the best dis
tricts of Methodism, he said, so per
cent of the Methodist leaders were
college graduates in the urban COM

those in the rural churches we're col.

rural churches recently 22 college
graduates were in attendance at a
