each 100 Of the membership in that church.
These are all laymen. Dr. Reisner is the
only minister among them And even in
the Methodist Minute Men they are far
from all Methodists. Men OF all denorni
nations, and some Of none, tell Dr.. Reis
ner that this gives them the chance for
service for which they have long been look
ing and which the old-tine activities az
the church didn't provide.
The Fellowship Of Interccssion. pledged
by the thousands to prayer for the sue

powerful effect on putting it over?
Then there is the department Of evan

over the country, too, will soon be seen the
series OF twelve posters done for The cam

OF great service in the last Red Cross
drive.
They mean business, the Methodists. and
IN larger way the combination Of Protest
