Rev. H. N. Brown, pastor Of the

has been. secured az . result Of
an intensive campaign, during
which the missionary needs of the
world have been set forth with
earnest exhortations to Methodists
that it is their duty to do their
utmost to make it possible to
evangelize the world.

its membership and its wealth, the
heads Of the denomination have
