JUST THINK OF THIS BOY
item From Note Book OF Red Cross
Nurse Quoted by Secretary class.

Carter Glass. secretary of the treas
ury. copied the following note, among
others, from the note book of a Red
Cross nurse when he was in France:
One boy I shall always remember.
His right shoulder was practically all
shot away and he had a big wound in
his back and one in his left eye. But
he sat straight up and wouldn't let
anybody help him. He didn't say a
word while they pulled off the tight
clinging gauze from the red, raw, wet
flesh that qutVered in spite of him.
When the first wound was finished all
he said was:
"Do you think I could rest min.
ute, Doc, before you do the second
one?"
"Red, raw, wet fesh"-American

that when you are asked to buy of the

METHODISTS SHOULD
GATHER new ZEAL
Centenary an Inspiration Says
Or. Fisher.

Dr. Fred Fisher of New York, who
has been assistant executive secre-
tary of the Methodist Centenary
drive, has turned his entire organiza-
ton to the job of mobilizing Method
ism in Columbus, June 20 to July 10.
In outlining the campaign he has
placed before $4,000 committeeman Of
the Methodist Church, he says: I'VE
must stress four things. First, this
will be a big Victory Celebration.
The Methodists Of the United States
have lived more ~ the past year than
in any 10 previous years Of their ex-
istence. Now is the time for them
to get together and celebrate their
victory.
"In the second pSace, this is an Cd
portunity for Methodists to have Wis
ualized the scenes and activities OF
which they have been talking for the
past year, but of which they have NO
personal knowledge. OF these $4,000
men, only negligible per cent has
ever had the opportunity of going
abroad. At the celebration they can
get the trip around the world at their
convenience.
Third, this is the time to finish
the job to gather inspiration and in
formation to enable the Organized
workers in the church to carry out
the program which has been mapped
out for the next four years.
Fourth, and most important Of ALI
il the Celebration realizes the ideals
which those who are back of it hold
it must be the inspiration for plan.
ming work for the next century. As
We look upon the marvels that have
been accomplished we should gathe,
new faith and new zeal for enter
priSes that can be measured only in
terms of another century. We must
in word, weld ourselves together in
a great spiritual purpose to strike
the bulls eye"
DR.. Fisher Indicated that $50 train.
ed executives, in addition to the rs.
300 volunteer workers, will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
turing the next six weeks.
