success, was the sta tcmen ,nNde
yesterday by a prominent Me,hpdist
Of this city.
That the Methodists are not at
all envious Of the Baptists because
they have put their faces farther to
the front than the Meth odip's lid,
because they have set rs thcir coal
100000 rather than the $780,
10000 of the Methodists,s but hat
the members OF, the church founded
by John Wesley are rejoicing in
the great campaign launched Dy he
followers Of Roger Williams and are
wishing them the grea test succe So,

gentleman in question, who ~ he

in the Missions Centennial uf he
Methodist church last sprirp rne
who was one Of the real leaders Of
the drive in this distric'
1--WE Methodists are h h.art ana pul
behind the .Baptists in their arcat
drive and we wish them The pre8 st
success possible. That they ~
secure $75,0OO,000 we wish ut
we are earnestly desircu& thal ue ey
do far more than that W mt
them to secure not SIS o0Q,noo, hut
double that amount ant even u.Ire.
We Methodsts set out tu rails, 81
100000 and we almost doubl,G our
quota. Now what we want our Rnp-
tist brethren to do is to set ,nciI goal
high and then pass it. Tho ), ,l;ng

or all previous records III campo gns
of this nature. And If tny ~! sub
scribe, not $75,O00,00C, huI $'sO,-
100000 and even more, We viii feel
just as good over the success oI the
drive as onr fellow Baptjats yea, we
will rejoice even more.
In the great Missionary Cen ION
airy Of the Methcdists las apliug the
aid given us by the Dar'i.;tS vas
indeed great and Of sucN nature
as to make our campaigu far
greater success than it would other
wise have been. For The most in
valuable assistance renderuj by he
members of the Baptis church, as
we'll as Of other denominations, we
are profoundly grateful. Aud now
we want to attempt to repay - mach
as possible, the debt we owe to
others.
And so we offer our services 10
our fellows in Christ the members of
the Baptist church in the South. and
we urge that they make use OF ns
in every possible manner during the
coming months when their dencmi-
nation will be on trial DaiOye this
nation and the world. We arc at
their service and we G"slre to he
sharers in the toys Of victory which
we know will be theirs.
Their cause is our canse. and our
cause Is theirs. The cause for which
they are now laboring so earnestly
is not their cause aolne, it Is not
the cause OF any one particular creed
or sect or race, but the cause Of I'LL
creeds, all sects. all races the cause
or the world. And in thjs we want
to take part, we want to have some
thing to do with raising this wonder
ful fund for missions and education,
| Just as others aided our greet drive
OF some months ago. We feel Just
as italy interested in the outcome
