The church as a factor in the social,

Pastor Finds Hog Cholera.
Take the story of Lakeville, Holmes
county, Ohio.
IICou 'hOiii hlo bhCOAOblCoI SbuuACo'
Charles NJ. Mcconnell went to Lake
vile five years ago as pastor of the
Methodist church there.
Mcconnell was sent to Lakeville
because the Methodist board of Sun
day schools chose it as the least prom
Using charge" they could find. And
the board wanted to experiment.
The new pastor found a moribund
church and an epidemic of hog chol-
era. Mcconnell preached dynamic
sermons. But he did not neglect to
send to the State University for chol-
era serum.
Movies Shown in Church.
Two members of the church met
some days later, and conversation
veered to the pastor. One was du-
bious about his theology.

memorial hall dedicated anywhere in
the United States.

The farmers were losing money
through ignorance of modern agri-
cultural methods. Mcconnell arranged
with the State University for a series
of farmers institutes.
The institutes were held in the
church. Better orchards, better cat.
tie better crops were the result.
Through the country are the ruins
of abandoned rural churches. The
Lakeville church flourishes. But rural
churches can not retain McConnells at
existing rural church salaries. That is

Forty Million Dollars to Be Spent on
Home Programme, $4o,ooo,ooo on

War Reconstruction.

The church in America intends to
take it's place in the forefront. From
| now on, it's motto will be doing" not
| talking.
Hence, in celebration of the tooth
anniversary of the foundation of Chris
tian missions, the Methodist Episcopal
church and the Methodist Episcopal
church, south, have joined in nation
wide Methodist centenary campaign.
Every phase of Methodist church life
has been enlisted. The aim of the
colossal campaign is the rebuilding OF
the world.
s14o,ooo,oo0 to Be Raised.
In brief, the Methodist Episcopal
churches of both branches will ask for
total of $40, 100000 for their joint
aims. Especially detailed are those
aims so far as they concern the Meth
odist Episcopal church, which in the
seven-day period of May 1925 will ask
for $1O5, 900.
Here is how that money will be
spent:
Forty million dollars on the great
est foreign mission programme ever
conceived, lasting five years; embrac-
ing the building and operating of
schools, hospitals, dispensaries, col
leges and everything that will benefit
mankind. Christianity will be preach
ed too but the aim of this new and
bigger Methodism is to live Christian
lty and the brotherhood of man.

missions. But the programme again
