METHODiSTS ARE PUSHING
CENTENARY CAMPAIGN

Texas Methodists are pushing the
Centenary pay up campaign" Ac-
cordng to local leaders, the fourth
years payment of Centenary pledges
viii be due Jan. /. 1922, and an eff
fort will be made to have the five an
nual conferences in the State meet
their full responsibility for this
amount.
Since it is claimed that there are
$4,000 members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church. South. in the State
OF Texas, Centenary leaders say that
'as goes Texas. will in a large meas
ure go Southern Methodism.' And
are urging that this section oserye n
date in the early fall as pay-up week.
According to reports from head
quarters. Texas Methodists pledged
approximately one-seventb of the to-
tai amount OF missionary money Sc
cured through the Centenary move
ment, said to be the biggest under
taking ever enterprised by that de-
Nomination The total amount pledg-
ed throughout the connection was
s4S, 100000 payable in five yearly in
stallments. The Centenary enterprise
covers missionary work in the United
states and in foreign lands, and since
so large n part of the fund was sub
syribed by Texas. n large share Of
Centenary money viii be expended in
this state for home mission work and
Go supplement the salaries of under
paid Texas preachers. The amount
available for these purposes will de-
pend Upon the success Of the pay-up
campaign in this State, since ten per
cent of all funds collected by any an
nual conference is returned to that
conference to supplement funds for
local work.
And of the direct appropriations of
money, IT is claimed that
Texas gets a larger share than any
other three states in the South. APP
preparations include enterprises in
Dallas, FL Paso, Fort Worth, San An
tonic. and several smaller cities, be- /
sides appropriations for rural mis-
sions. schools. and work among for
aigners. In view of the pressing needs |
Of these Church enterprises there is |
a strong appeal to Texas Methodists |

payments this fall.

ers in Centenary work n Texas are: |

COFFIN: OF AIIILA
Burial Place Of the Great Hun
Leader Reported Found.

Havs Ossn Trvs.

|. A correspondent Of the London
Times reports the discovery In SOUTH
ern Hungary Of what archeologists
declare ID the coffin Of Attila the
Hun. known to the Christian nations
Of the Fifth century as 'the Scourge
Of God" The 1nd was made in the
bed Of the 'Aranka river. small tribu-
tary Of the Thesis between the towns
Of Sxegedin and Temesvar.
This discovery seems to support
the persistent tradition regarding the
great Hun leaders burial which has
lived for almost 1,5O0 years. His death
occurred soon after his invasion of
italy and on the night Of his marriage.
His body was carried across southern
Austria at the head Of his army and
In Hungary, at q spot which was
known only to few Of his chief off.
GERS. the corpse was inclosed In three
cofins, the first Of gold, the second Of
silver, and the third Of iron, and
buried. The .aptives who were az
signed to the task Of buryipg the body
were strangied In order that the
place Of the interment might be kept
secret from Attila's foes. r..
For centulieS there has been q
great fascination In the search for
relics Of the Huns, for 1t was thought
that they might throw some light upon
these strange, almost unknown Asfatic
Invaders Of Europe. The country
along the Aranka river and around
Szegedtn has been industriousiy
searched for evidence Of their sue
cesses In Europe.
Some rare and beautiful gold yes.
sells have been unearthed In this re-
gion. These relics are preserved among
the Hapsburg treasures While these
have been identified as belonging to
some of the peoples Of the early NIL
grafton from the East they have
not been proved definitely to have be-
lOnged to the Huns. The latest find Il
thus especially noteworthy; not only
Ia 1t the most valuable. but at the
samc time It is the most sought after
Of all-the Hun treasures.
The memory Of Attila and his
bands Of savage barbarlans was re-
vived during the World war. Tho
devastation they wrought in the lands
over which they swept seemed to fur
nIsh the only apt comparison for the
desolation left by the modern invader.
The people Of central and southeast
esn Europe would question today n
fhs ravages Of their country by the
Fifth century Huns left In their trail
as much suffering and sorrow Is were
left BY the World war.
