METHODISTS PLAN
+ AID TO CHTLEANS
Board of Foreign Missions
Buys Great Ranch for Edu-
cation of Poems.
OFFER MODERN TRAINING
Experiment in Applied Chris
tianity to Be Conducted on
Great Scale.

An immense sum OF money is being
raised by the American Methodist
Church for benevolent work at home and
abroad. 1t is expected that the total
amount will pass beyond s150,o00.000
gold. The administration Of this vast
sum will cover a period of five years.
One of the first enterprises to be
financed by this great Offering has been
carried through by Bishop Oldham in
the purchase of a great farm in Chile.
All records for foreign missionary enter
prise by American denominations have
been broken by the establishment at
Angel. in southern Chile. OF a great agri-
cultural and industrial project which
promises in a few years not only to revo-
lutionize the agricultural methods of that
country but also to put the Methods,
Episcopal Church, the sponsor and
hacker OF the undertaking, in an I'M
usually good strategic position. The
Board OF Foreign Missions has pur-
chased. at an initial cost of s275,00o. a
ranch OF almost 1000 acres that
stretches for miles along both sides of
the Malleco River and is situated in
one Of the most productive agricultural
districts in the Western hemisphere.
On this large property the board pro-
poses to train thousands of Chilean
poems in modern agricultural methods
and thus equip them to work out their
own economic betterment upon their re-
turn to their homes. The undertaking.
in short. Is an experiment in applied
Christianity on a scale far larger than
ever essayed before. The estate, which
is one of the finest in all of Chile, lies
between the coastal range and the
Andes. about eighty miles south OF Con-
cepcion. The climate is such that a
wide variety OF products, ranging from
the semi-tropical to those grown in the
temperate zones may successfully be
raised
the former ownSr OF the property is
Don Manuel V. Bunster. a Chilean land
baron OF English extraction. His ranch
was run on modern lines and he was
especially progressive in his attitude to-
ward his poems. Although the place is
worth almost 100000 Don Bunster
gladly sold It at the reduced price when
he saw the possibilities of the Meth
odists' plan for serving his less fortunate
countrymen
When purchased the ranch had on il

Warns Catholics Against

Gently published in the columns OF the

received with grave concern on the part
of those who have been active in the
movement 70 establish in Lima a branch
Of the International Y. NJ. G. A
branches have already been founded in
Buenos Ayres and Valparaiso. where
they have been OF great benefit in pro-

young Englishmen and Americans. In
both instances these have been as nom
sectarian as their organization permit
ted, and their activities have been at
tended with considerable success
II was hoped that the same could be
accomplished In this city. but the COM
munication by the archbishop has made
the undertaking very difficult. In his
open letter to the members OF his diocese
Monsenor Lisson has stated that no
Roman Catholics may join the Lima Y.

cor ditions here are still far from normal

Mendoza has a large foreign popula-

OF these agitators have been expelled
from the State, but many OF their ad-

The high cost OF living is undoubtedly
the underlying cause of most Of the
trouble, and unfortunately there seems
little likelihood of the situation being
relieved in the near future. Word has
reached here that the governments of
the Ave southern republics are planning
TO assemble for the purpose OF taking
some united action to bring about a re-

hope is expressed on all sides that their

WINE MEN TURN TO MEXICO.
Growers and Manufacturer Plan
TO Continue Business

large number of Portuguese who are
engaged in vineyard cultivation and
wine making are investigating with a
view 10 coming to Mexico and resuming
their vocation which is threatened with
destruction in California.
Another movement OF cognant charac-
ter Is under way on the part of the own
ers OF extensive wine making plants. in
volving costly machinery and appliances.
They desire to remove their plants to
Mexican territory, establishing them so
near the boundary line that the fruit
from the wine grape vineyards can be
shipped thlther in refrigerator cars and
there converted into wine. which would
be used in Mexico and shipped also to all
parts OF the world. All that these wine
makers ask is that the machinery and
apparatus imported shall be permitted to
come into Mexico free of duty. II is
believed that the request will be granted
as II would undoubtedly lead to the
planting of large areas OF vineyards and
the employment OF much Mexican help.
