THOUSANDS OF MINUTE MEN

The war developed no more eff
fective agency for the distribution
of important information than the
Minute Men with their four minute
speeches. The Methodist Church
has adopted the same plan for the
presentation of its Centenary mes
sages, and the response of the lay
man of this territory indicates u
new era in the presentation of Chris
ton messages. The quota for Ohio,
Kentucky and southern Indiana for
the Centenary was 5000 Minute
Men. The number actually enrolled
totals 6,9O3, or forty per cent above
the quota. These men are speaking
on world wide problems at every
possible opportunity.
