must stress four things. First. this
will lie a big Victory Celebration.
The MethodIStS OF the United States
have lived more in the past year than
in any ~ previous years OF their eX-
istence. Now is the time for them
TO get together and celebrate their
victory.
In the second place. this is an OBJ
portunity Tor 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 a 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 all,
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 gather
| 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 49,
600 volunteer workers, will stimulate
interest in the Centenary Celebration
during the next six weeks.

Extraction Of potash from the dust

as a possibility. James d. Rhodes, a
Pittsburgh manufacturer, made the
discovery, and at his expense has
arranged to erect a large experimental
plant adjoining the plant Of a cement
company at Castalia, O., for the pur-
