METHODIST LEADERS
RETURN FROM France

Three prominent leaders OF the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South,
have Just landed in America, after
spending two months in Europe, whore
they went for the purpose of investi-
eating actual conditions and deciding
upon a program for the expenditure Of
5000 900, which sum will be allotted
to European upbuilding by the Cente-
nary Commission Of the denomination.
The three returning church leaders
are Bishop James Atkins, Chairman Of
the Centenary Commission; Bishop
Walter Lambuth, who has been in Eu-
rope for nearly a year in the interest
of his church; and DR.. W. w. Pinson,
General Secretary Of the Mission
Board.
DR.. Pinson and Bishop Atkins re-
turned to the headquarters of the de-
nomination at Nashville the latter part
of the week, and Bishop Lambuth went
directly to his home at Oakdale, Cali
fornia.
While the plans for the European
work have not been announced as yet,
the returning members of the commits
sion say that they have mapped out a
very satisfactory program and that
r:ye million dollars Of the Centenary
funa VII be expended in upbuilding
schools and churches in the devastated
lands of Belgium, italy and France.

for a drive on Berlin struck terror to
the general staff.
"And those millions and billions OF
dollars spent were far from being
wasted in an unnecessary preparation.
feel that the fact that money was
spent and that an enormous output of
munitions. was ready was the control
ling factor In the weakening OF the
German general staff, and that it caus-
ed their message to the kaiser that
they were beaten and that he must
sue for peace. And the way see it
is that this money, instead OF being
wasted, can be written down as haY-
ing saved the lives of hundred OF
thousands of American men who
would have been sacrificed had the
war continued another year.
'4That is the money we are going
to ask the American people for in the
Liberty Loan We are going to ask
them for the money to bring our boys
home safe and sound. instead OF leav-
ing them buried in France. And

what this money did. we are not go

patriotism to come across

Bill Introduced In Senate and
House In Their Behalf--The
Church Organization Will
Also Give Practical Aid.
WILL PROMOTE EDUCATION
The Significant Movement of the
Times Is That of the Centenary
of the Methodist Episcopal
Church South---Will Spena Mil
lions Among the Uneducated.

The fact that several thousand sol
diers were unable to understand the
orders given them from their superiors
and that many, many thousands could
not sign their own names to their
questionnaires brought to light a con-
dition so serious that two Southern
Representatives at Washington are
now introducing bills to promote the
education of illiterates throughout the
length and breadth of America. Sena'
tor Hoke Smith, of Georgia, has intro.
duceG bill in the Senate "to promote
the education of illiterates, of persons
unable to understand and use the Eng.
lish language, and other resident per.
sons of foreign BIRTH" and the same
measure has been introduced in the
House by Hon. William B. Bankhead,
OF Alabama.
The introduction Of this important
bill means a great deal to the South,
which, because Of its negroes and
mountain whites, has long borne
reputation for illiteracy out of proper
tion to that Of the rest of the coun-
try. Just what steps will be immedi-
ately taken as the result of the passage
of the education of illiterates bill at
Washington cannot be stated at this
time, but, certainly, practical meas
ures will be put into operation for the
establishment of schools in both rural
districts and cities.
Other organizations besides that OF
the government are at work on the
same problem-the establishment OF
schools in the heart of tenement dis.
tricts and rural communities being
matter of first importance with all OF
them. One Of the most significant
movements of the times in this con-
nection is that Of the Centenary OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, because that denomination will
expend within the next five years over
SO 100000 among the uneducated
classes in the Southern and Western
States. The church is to raise fund
of s35 100000 in an eight-day drive in
April, the financial campaign being a
part of the Centenary Celebration OF
the denomination The money is be-
ing raised with a view to putting the
work of the church on business
basis, the church considering its duty
to the illiterates here in America to be
among the matters of first Importance
which it should undertake. A survey
has been made and the result of the
campaign will be the apportionment OF
Sc 900 900 among the various illiterate
population as follows: Mountain pop
ulation. s750,O00; immigrant, 100000;
negroes. 100000; Indians, $3.50 600;
cotton mill population, S15O.0OO; Chris
tian literature for all of them, 100000.
With the definite step undertaken
at Washington. with one denomination
already completing its plans for fur
thering the work among them, and
with other churches and organizations
getting ready to join hands in their
behalf. it is more than possible that
the illiterates Of the South are in
fair way to soon become educated citi-
Gems of the United States.
