CHURCH|S TESTING
VITAL EXPERIMENT
Northern Methodists Noting
Results From Campaign
PLEDGES.

Methodists of the north are trying
out an experiment in church MANAGE
ment that is of vital concern to re-
ligious bodies. To mark the close
Of 100 years Of missionary effort they
had campaign that raised $10s.-
100000 in pledges, the same to be
paid within a five-year period. The
announced goal was $s0.o0O.000, so
they went s2s,ooo,o0o beyond it. Pay
able In five annual payments, there
should go in q little less than $22,-
100000 each year.
Payments Drop Behind.
ever, $l6,4sS,762. or about 75 per cent
Of the amount due. The present
financial year ends with this October.
and the indications are that the sum
to be received will fall below $15.-
5000: This deficit affects two Meth
foreign. Other Methodist boards have
their income guaranteed out of the
falling off that Methodists are
making strenuous efforts to bring up
the payments and avoid serious cur
tailment of missionary work
Asked why pledged money fails to
be paid. Methodist leaders point to
facts and express opinions. In the
former are the stringent financial
times. Some signers die. Many move
and leave financial pledges behind
forget them. The opinion expressed
is that five years is too long period
and that three-year one Is all that
can be sustained. Indications are, so
leaders say. that of the $10S,000,000
not more than $75.0O0.000 will ever
be paid. and the sum may fall even
lower.
However. these Methodist enthusi-
asts point to the fact that II no more
than $60.0O0,000 be realized tremen-
dous advances over old conditions
obtain. not the least of which Is a
new American Methodism, not de-
pendent upon money at all.
Leaders and Workers to Meet.
What in effect is q starting OF the
centenary campaign over again is an
unofficial meeting of Methodist lead
ers and workers to be held in Detroit
November is. Never in America were
SO many foremost Christian workers
gathered as will be present at this
conference. Everybody in Methodism
North will be present. The aims are
to give information. to arouse new
enthusiasm and determine whether
Methodists Of the north are to go on
in the lead Of all Christian activities
as they believe themselves now to
lead. or gradually to slump back into
old-time methods.
Following the Informal conference
there will be a meeting of official
benevolent agencies November 81.

those nuts had really belonged to
him. You never would have guessed
that they had belonged to some one
else and that he had intended to steal
them. AS a matter of fact. Chatterer
almost made himself believe that
they had belonged to him. People are
that way sometimes. He had been so
sure of them that he had come to
look on them as really his.
So for q few minutes Chatterer's
tongue flew fast, as only his tongue
can fly, as he told no one in particu-
lar, for there was no one about, Just
what he thought of the thief who had
stolen those nuts. Then he began to
wonder who had taken them.
He was sure that either Happy Jack
the Gray Squirrel or Rusty the Fox
Squirrel had hidden them there. His
first thought was that the real own
er had taken them away. But he
knew that, like himself. Happy Jack
and Rusty went to bed with the COM
ing Of the Black Shadows and he had
peeked at those nuts the very last
thing before going to bed. Now it
was barely sun-up and he was sure
he was the first one over there.
Neither Of his big cousins could pos

The recent letter Of our
Chamber of Commerce to
the candidates for the State
Legislature in regard to
their views on the highway
from this city to the Valley

and pertinent. Owing to the
persistent :hammering for
several years past by our
Chamber, the highway IS
now a part of the State
Highway program as fixed
by the General Assembly.

point out its advantages to
Alexandria. The fertils

only enable us to procure
all the fresh vegetables and
fruits requisite for public
health, but all the other pro.
ducts of a rich agricultural
country that are SO welconl:
and Indispensable to the

the farmer will find here al
