METHODIST ASKS
CENTENARY AID
Speaker at North Indiana
Conference Urges Cam
paign Support.

ELWOOD, Ind, ApriI 9-Bishop Fred
erick d. Leete presided at the North In
diana conference today. The Rev. R. J.
Wade, d. D., formerly of Elkhart. CORE
spending secretary Of the committee on
conservation and advance, Chicago, gave
the principal address.
During the last eighteen months com
Prising the first year and a half Of the
great Methodist Centenary campaign,
there has been paid on the Centenary
subscriptions $24, 4T3, 51539, declared DR..
Wade
This means that Methodist cOntribu-
tions have been trehled and quadrupled
since this huge undertaking has begun
less than two years ago. The Chicago
area has contributed over one tenth of
the entire amount, and the Rock River
Conference which includes the city of
Chicago. has contributed nearly $1,000
COO Most of this money Is to be ex-
pended in centenary projects within Chi
cago and vicinity. II Is confidently ex-
pected that Methodist people viii con-
tribute larger amounts in coming months,
enabling the church to more rapidly com
plete the reconstruction program. An
immediate program of added publicity
viii be inaugurated In all the churches.
Men who are conversant with the results
already achieved will carry this in
formation to practically every Methodist
and community.
This is no time for a pesslmistic note.
There is unrealized power in the Meth
odist Church. Our church was never
more alive and prepared for Christian I'M
dertakings than at this hour A quar-
ter of a million new members this year
can be duplicated in 1921
These are significant days for the
church We will either march up or
down. Methodists must hold sacred the
centenary quota and subscription as
contract TO he met The needs arising
as a result of the centenary achievements
and Unforeseen world situations, calls on
the constantly increasing and prosper
Gus Methodist people to meet their Chris
tian bligation in stewardship, and help
quickly to heal the hurt Of a suffering
and dying world.
Il believe IN conservation. A campaign
must be inaugurated to bring back the
sense Of responsibility to every Methodist
bishop. district superintendent, pastor
and layman for the faithful collection
of every centenary pledge. IL is morally
binding. We are all stewards. No Of
fetal can do 1t. No group alone can do
it, but we can all accomplish the result
L believe in advance. There are
churches which can, under able leader
shin move considerably beyond their
original overplus subscriptions. Our
young people must hear and heed the
challenge Of life service, our intercessors
must pray more effectively. Then the
second year Of the centenary will be sue

With Less Money Than
Jewett Reign.

Samuel Lewis Shank, candidate for the

Fairgrounds; establishment of weights
and measures system; passage Of ordi-
nance requiring safeguards at all dan

"All the things that have been done in
the eight years since my time do not
equal that record" declared Mr.. Shank.
"And I spent $1OOOO.0O0, while Charlie
Jewett has spent S26.000,0 600 He was
going to solve all our problems scien-
tifcally, you remember. The only places
