Dr. J. H. Reynolds and Dr. s. Ander. son Confer with Other Leaders
 on Big Campaign.

Memphis, November 30-Gathering
 for the conference of the educational
 commission of the Methodist Episcopal church, south, members who will at
 tend the two days sessions, which
 opened this morning at 93O o'clock in
 the Chisca hotel, engaged in prelimi- nary talks on the plans and methods of the conference. This discussion centered principally about the devel- opment of the spiritual objectives of the educational movement.
 This Memphis meeting is expected to rival in religious interest the gath ering of the famous committee of 100 when it launched the centenary cam paign in 1918. Matters of vital impor- tance to the denomination will be dis cussed and the educational commission will be assisted in its deliverations by the newly appointed annual conferenle secretaries of education, members of the college of bishops and represen- tatives from the board of missions, the woman's missionary council, the Ep- worth League and the Sunday school board.
 Among the numerous subjects to be discussed will be the question of how to develop in the mind of the church members an adequate conception of the place of Christian education in the life of the church, of the nation and of the world Further plans will be discussed as to the best method of leading at least 5000 young men and women to devote their lives to the ministry, to missions and to other forms of Christian life service.
 In recent interviews with Rev. Stonewall Anderson, D. D., secretary of the board of education of the Meth odist Episcopal church, south, and Dr. J. H. Reynolds, director general of the Christian education movement, both expressed themselves as pleased with the enthusiasm shown by south ern Methodists wherever the great plan now in the minds of the leaders of the church has been discussed, and both believe that before the movement has ended every member of the church will be convinced of the necessity of emphasizing Christian education, es- pecially when there is, at the present, they say, sense of anxious uneasiness and deep conviction of unavoidable obligation.
 This meeting at Memphis is the first meeting at which all the conference educational secretaries are to be pres ent and in sense will be the begin ming of the active work of the move ment.
 Among those present are: Stonewall Anderson, F. N. Parker, II. N. Snyder w. B. Beauchamp, Bishop E. D. Mou- zon Bishop James Cannon, Bishop W. B. Murrah, J. H. Reynolds, Mrs. J. H. Mccoy, A. F.
