Bishop Henderson Gives Vivid
Picture OF World Needs, As
Result Of Wars Havoc.
Duty OF Church Plain, He Says.
Humanity's Call For Help In
Worlds Crisis Will Not Go
Unheeded,
vast Scope Of Relief Program
Explained. Orphanges Dis
pensaries And Social Work
Projected.

How Methodism will meet after-the.
war responsibilities by expanding vast
sums Oh money in reconstruction work
DOM at home and abroad, was outlined
today by Bishop Theodore s. Hender-
son. Oh the Methodist Episcopal
Church.
Bishop Henderson. recently returned
from abroad. as a special deputy of
the missionary Centenary OF the
Church, to make minute survey OF
needs in European areas hardest hit
ny the invasion of the Hun, and he In
soon TO sail from New York with a
relief ship laden with supplies for the
stricken people of Northern France
and Italy.
The stricken French in devastated
areas VIII stagger for years under the
yoke that war has imposed and they
need Americas help, and they need it
without delay" Bishop Henderson
said.
AS the special representative of
the Methodist Centenary l have Just
returned from tour of France. Italy
and other territory wrecked by war
ana l am convinced that the way is
open for the church to do piece OF
constructive work that will be un-
precedented."
Blshop Henderson announced that to
tulhil the requirements OF the Centen-
airy program, the Methodist Episcopal
Church will spend $5,OOO,0 1000 in war
reconstruction work this year. more
than half of that sum being spent in
Europe, chiefly in French territory.
The plight Of the French In the
invaded sections, swept bare of every.
thing, is most pitiable," the Bishop
said. Americas aid is needed and as
quickly as 1t can be given Mothers
with babes In their arms, by the thou
sands are on the verge of starvation,
and the plight of other thousands for
lack of food and clothing is almost as
bad. The situation in some sections
OF France is beyond the imagination
of the average American who enjoys
peace and plenty.
"Methodism will do its part to bring
relief to these distressed people. We
shall spend in Europe this year total
OF $2,908,000 to meet actual needs 40
cording to the accurate survey made
by the Centenary deputation of clergy
men. Later $5,0oO,OOO will be expend-
ed annually.
THE outstanding features of this
program are: Relief ships to carry
medicine, food, clothing farming i'm
plements and variety of utensils to
aid the destitute In starting life anew;
rest houses; notable extensions Of or
phanages, community centers; togeth-
er with other activities over long
range. A total Of s2,5OO,000 also will
be spent In the United States during
the present year on work made neces-
sary by the war"
Nearly 100000 orphans who are left
absolutely dependent upon charity
provides one of the problems which
the Methodist Church will seek to
solve through its Centenary benevo-
lences, Bishop Henderson declared.
Immediate authorizations for French
people In distress amount to $4,000,
the Bishop declared. "Our principal
work will be done In Cannes, Lyons,

Toulon, Nice, Grenoble, Metz, Nancy
Amiens, Noyon and Savoy. Clinics
will be established at once at these
towns and community centers will be
started. The two present establish.
ments at Charvieux and Eoully for
caring for orphans Of those who fell
in war will be greatly enlarged and
facilities will be installed to enlarge
the scope OF the work done so that the
children may be taught agriculture. A
new farm will be bought at Charvieux
at cost Of s25.00O together with two
residential villas and new farm ma.
chinery. Additional land will be
bought at Eoully at cost of $4,000.
Among some of the other projects
are day nursery at Albertville and a
community center building in Bourg-
nouf. The program for the year COW
ers lengthy list of other towns and
a wide range of activities, in proper
ton to the needs.
Community centers will be big
feature of our work An orphanage
for boys whose fathers fell in war will
be built at Trent A school for wood
carving at Venice will be enlarged.
The program for Alcasandria, Is
typical of the work to be done in
Italy We shall install at that place
a clinic, night classes, day nursery,
gymnasium and free dispensary.
Throughout the whole reconstruction
program the efforts to instill the spirit
of Christianity in the hearts of the
people will go hand liz band with min
istrations to the minds and bodies of
the war sufferers.
From this you can see that the
Church has a responsibility which
must be met. We must aid the fam
lilies trying to begin life all over again.
We must help care for the orphans.
We must assist where the strain Of
the struggle has shown on the moral
as well as bodies, and exert our infiu-
ence for a better civilization. All the
sacred values built up in the char
acters of the people by war sacrifices
must be retained. 1t is the duty of the
Church to keep up with the amazing
shifts In populations as a result OF
the war War stirred unassimilated
foreign masses must be Americanized.
The Church has taken up its duty
along these and other lines and Is
seeking to do it's part to solve the
problems that confront us.
"The Centenary program embraces
the idea of the Brotherhood OF Man
the very idea for which we fought and
won victory in France. The world
feeling must not die out. It's bigger
thing than the war. Our aim must be
to wipe out every scar left by the war
upon the nations lives. To be content
with the world as 1t was before 1914
Is to confess failure. We must help to
make a better and brighter world. The
spirit Of Christ must rule over every
nation"

CATCHING COLD J?
Mintol Often Prevents
Pneumonia.

1t is surprising to read in the daily
papers of treatments that our fore
fathers and grandmothers used for
cughs, colds, catarrh and bronchial
affections. 1t impresses the writer
with the fact that modern scientific
research had not advanced an iota,
when, as a matter of fact, there have
been wonderful Announcements in the
treatment of all diseases and condi-
tions that bring on disease. Just be-
cause grandmother used old-fashion-
ed mustard blisters for relieving
colds and congested conditions it is
no sane reason why we should resort
to the old antiquated methods when
there have been such wonderful inn
provements and new discoveries of
remedies which are far more effec-
tive and less painful to use.
SPECIAL NOTICE:-A druggist
said the other day that customer
came into his store and inquired for
mustard plaster and he suggested
to the customer that they try MIN
TOL as more modern treatment for
congested conditions. The customer
accepted the druggists suggestion
and in twenty-four hours the same
customer came into the Druggists
store and said, show long have you
handled MINTOL?" The druggist
replied that he had been handling it
for some little time and the customer
frankly stated that he would never
use mustard cream or plaster for
colds, coughs or any congested con-
dition again. There are thousands
of others who would say the same as
this druggists customer did, if they
would try MINTOL. If your drug
gist cannot supply you we will mail
you jar on receipt of price 35c,
Coo, and $1.25 a jar. The Home Re-
lief Laboratories, Maiden, Mass.

The hard feeling between the two
clubs broke forth again today, as
much wrangling between McGraw and
