by Fergus Falls Speaker;
How Church is Judged

The program of the sub-district
centenary conference Of the Metho-
dist church, held In the church Mon
day afternoon apd evening, was
some program If permission is
granted to state it this way.
Not one minute from the time the
hands of the clock pointed to $3.50
until late in the night, was there a
breathing spell. It was one thing
after another and each seemed better
than the preceding one. The church
was we'll filled, the Ladies Aid men,
bers serving supper from $3.50 until
about 5 o'clock. The large majority
who dined at he-church remained to
hear the entire program.
y KEYNOTE Address.
DR.. C.. J. Craig made the keynote
address and outlined present condi-
tions as they are here and In other
countries.
'The world is ripe for action and
expects the church to act" he said,
''and every member will join in the
grand procession sooner or later
He compared the present centen-
ary drive with the great world war
and said that the church must get
ready to carry out its great plan.
Dr. G.. H. Zentz OF Fergus Falls
gave a splendid talk On Steward
ship: His. tall sWas full Of \. pep
and rfgnt-<to s.tha@pofn fnt.-..,,Hes, gave
. vividly the duties of an American
citizen, whether he be church men,
ber or not. He said, 1.-The church is
expected to- do more for the world
than it ever did before, but the peo-
pie must be educated to their patrio-
tic duty It's just as much patrio-
tic act to get out and prepare tne
church for this great work, as 1t. was
for minute mento get out on war
work.
"The blind can't lead the blind,
so it is our duty to make people see
the need of the great work ahead. 1t
is a great thing to master truth, but
sit is a greater thing for truth to mas
hter man."
How Church Is Judged.
Judge c. NJ. Tiff spoke of the lay
man and the church. He said that
the church was judged by it's pro-
duction.
Its a big Job the church has un-
dertaken," he said, ''but not too big
for it's members. Men must come Off
the pinnacle of selflshness and look
upon the centenary movement as one
in which he considers it privilege
to enlist. 1t is more than duty, it's
a privilege. We must prepare for
= this drive by educating the people
the same as we had to in the great
world STRUGGLED 1t is not church
members alone we need, but every
right thinking citizen, and what's
more we are getting them.'
