Methodist Centenary Active in Gigantic World
wide Reconstruction Program

"A condition Of greater choas than
now exists, could hardly be imagined"
% spoke Bishop William F. Anderson
Of Cincinnati, Ohio, who has just re-
turned from a trip through Europe and
Northern Africa. Bishop Anderson has
been surveying the results Of the war
and states further that 1.-THE Method
list Centenary Movement had been born
to furnish the principle of permanent
and enduring peace"
The Centenary is the biggest single
project ever undertaken by one denom-
,tnation. Celebrating the hundredth
anniversary Of the first Methodist mis-
sion, the church is setting forth pro-
gram of expanded world service. It's
magnitude may be realized from the
! S1O5, 100000 which constitutes the goal
Of the financial drive.
Broad Program
The program is world wide in its
scope and as varied in its forms as
! the needs Of those whom the church
would serve. 1t is undertaken in no
selfish sectarian spirit. 1t is not
piece of denominational propaganda.
/: It is a sincere effort of a great church
to make Its full contribution to the
Christian welfare and happiness of
new world.

CENTENARY KEYNOTE
Dr.. S. Earl Taylor

1.-THE world cannot be recon-
structed by 4 formula. No mere
agreement among diplomats can
heal the wounds Of war. No
International constitution, how
ever, perfect ii its phrasino, and
no mere economic revolution,
however sweeping in it's scope,
can bring about the universal
reign Of peace and good will
among men. Such a peace Is
the fundamental aspiration Of
every human heart, but it cannot
be realized through government,
and it cannot be realized through
law alone. World democracy can
and will be realized only through
the practical application Of the
religion Of Jesus, and nothing
but faithIessness on the part of
the Christian Church need de-
lay its realization now"

FIRST CHANCE FOR NORTH
DAKOTANS

North Dakota investors are to
have the first chance to buy bonds
of the State Bank Of North Dakota.
A quarter of a. million dollars worth
will be sold to banks and private citi-
zens here. Then when the people
have thus shown their confidence in
the new institution the remainder will
be sold in other parts of the United
States to bring in outside money. F.
W. Cathro, director general of the
State Bank, already has received a
number of applications for $1,000
bonds from banks an dprivate indi-
viduals. The first preliminary de-
posit from bank cam efrom Rem
vile county and was $4,000.

Church Aids Reconstruction
Already relief ship has left for
France and Italy with everything from
condensed milk to portable houses.
Orphanages in France and Italy have
been established and much further
work for these grief torn lands is al
ready under way. At least five millions
each year for the next five years Will
be spent in war reconstruction In work
both at home and abroad.
Starve Blind Pigs
What shall take the place OF the
saloon is a question that many Amerl-
cans are asking. 1t is the aim of the
Centenary that Community centers
be established where men may congre-
gate as they did in the saloon but now
in decent atmosphere that will not
rob them of their minds and manhood.
Now is the time for the church to pro-
vide such centers. Men attracted to
these centers would be kept away from
the Blind Pigs and the beasts would
starve. The Centenary proposes to
spend millions of dollars for Comnlun-
ity centers throughout the land. The
church of the new day will serve all
the social and spiritual needs of all
the community all the time, not only
on Sundays.

completion by the Burleigh county

counties will cede some Of their share
of the federal road fund to aid in the
erection of the new traffic artery.
