With five years of careful labor before
them, working out the huge plan of the
Missionary Centennial which calls for the
expenditure of more than 100000,
Methodist preachers have job that will
require not only patience but careful
training As business proposition there
has been brought to the United States
and located at Columbus, Ohio, huge
missionary exposition. On the immense
site there has been constructed in minia-
ture the life of every nationality and the
industry of every cline.
To Columbus, Ohio, between June 20
and July IA, will go hundreds of thou
sands of people, and it is expected that
practically every Methodist preacher in
Louisiana will make the trip and there
study the missionary needs of the world
at first hand. There he will see China
as the Chinese live in their native health
and in native attire; there will be Africa
just like the jungles, and the jungles will
be there; there will be the tenement sec
ton of the great city with its crowded
streets and even with its attendant filth
and utter misery; and there will be the
mill town, the mountain town and the
log cabin of the piney woods In this
way preacher in week will be able
to know more of the missionary needs of
the world than he could learn from books
in ten years.
How all the Methodist preachers Of
Louisiana are to make the trip is a mat
ter that is being worked out by Rev. N. E.
Joyner, Missionary Secretary of the Lou.
isiana Conference, Hon. T. w. Holloman,
executive Secretary, and F. E. Gunter,
Campaign director of the missionary Cen
tenary in Louisiana. With far-sighted
vision leading Methodists of every sec
ton are being impressed that it is to the
welfare of the local congregation that its
pastor have this trip and education. The
preacher is able to go, stay week and
return for $780, and each congregation in
the state is planning to put the purse in
the hands of its pastor and send him.

LOUISIANA PRESS ASSOCIATION
CONVENTION POSTPONED.

New Orleans, La, May 80, 1919.
Mr.. M. w. Fisher, Chairman Executive
Committee, Louisiana Press Association,
New Iberia, La:
Dear Mr. Fisher regret to advise you,
as intimated in my letter of the 3rd m
slant, that such obstacles to the holding
of successful meeting of our Associa-
ton next month have been encountered
chief among which is the inability to Sc
ment with the railway lines for carrying
our members to and from New Iberia en-
the advertising contract basis that has
always been readily conceded heretofore
it is found necessary to call the June
time of the year-probably about the first
week in October.
Many of the members of the Associa-
ton have been looking forward with
pleasurable anticipation to the opportun-
NY VI ssoAS~6i yOuA olA0AlAvS &AtSAS lily

have given that section of the State such
a conspicuous and charming status in the
annals of Louisiana, and the hope will
be general among US that nothing will
arise to compel another postponement of
the meeting we are so DESTROYS of hav-
ing in New Iberia.
I am glad to have the assurance that
the latch string of your city will be kept
hanging out for the Louisiana Press As
ISOLATION and that we can pull it at any
time convenient to ourselves and be Ger
tain Of the cordial reception and generous
always extended to the guests
of your community.
With warm regard,
Sincerely yours,

RAIN FALL.

When reading that an inch Of rain has
fallen in certain district, it means that
- one acre of ground enough water to
fill more than 600 barrels of IS gallons
each has fallen. That quantity of water
weighs more than 10 tons. If the rain

very small shower indeed, 10000 tons

was no system for learning q new
