THE CENTEN.
AIRY CHALLENGE

''The Methodist Centenary move
ment is a most daring spiritual enter
prise, involving the most adequate
program of Christian social service
ever launched in the history of Or
gained Christianity declared Doctor
E. D. Kohlstedt, director of Field
Committee on Conservation and Ad-
vance of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, before the Methodist confer
ence in Valley City.
Technically, it was to be celebra
ton of the one hundreth anniversary
history; practically, it became the oc-
casion upon which was launched a
great, constructive: world-rebuilding
program, big enough temporarily to
stager the faith of the Church and
permanently grip the attention Of the
world.
"A Christian social service program
CT such hugh dimensions made an un-
precedented financial campaign imper-
ative, not as an end in itself, but as
means to the supreme end of popu-
larizing the Christian ideal in the most
crusial hour of the worlds need. The
great outstanding detectives Of the
Centenary Movement are distinctively
spiritual:
"The first great objective is inter-
cession, or evaluation of the privil-
eye and power Of prayer; the appro-
priation Of the subtle potencies Of the
spiritual realm and their practical ap-
plication to the affairs of life.
"The second objective is steward
ship: Of time and energy as we'll as of
means, involving not only recogni
ton of divine ownership and the prac-
tice of setting aside one-tenth of a
ton of the obligation, but the depo
ton of specific periods of time for
Christian service as we'll.
"The third objective is life service
which involves dedication of the most
alert, best equipped, talented young
life of the church to the task Of Chris
tian World Service, in order to meet
the demand for an adequate program
personnel.
FINALLY there is evangelism, which
is the crowning objective of the
whole Centenary enterprise. stressing
not only the Importance of periodic
group evangelism, but particularly a
daily program of individual evange-
lism. " ..-..
The purpose at the heart Of this
whole Methodist forward movement
can be summarized as follows:
"To so intelligently and grippingly
acquaint our people with the exact
nature of their local and world re-
sponsibility as Christians; to secure
on the part Of our people so thorough
a conservation Of themselves and their
resources, material and personnel
upon the altar Of service, that the OUT
! flow of treasure and the response in
young life to the challenging oppor-
| tunities for Christian enterprise at
home and abroad. shall become nor
NAL and adequate"

antagonism to the 18th Amendment in
scathing language, showing how little
care the liquor interest have for lay
and order. The speaker pointed out
the need for watchfulness in regard to
prohibition, in that what good has
been accomplished may not be multi
fed. More than this, companion evils
were ruthlessly exposed especially the
evil of cigarette smoking. Medical
testimony against this evil being used
with telling effect.
The Friday session of the conference
Of the Methodist Episcopal church OPP
ened with the devotional hour, Bishop
Burns conducting it. After singing
and prayer Bishop Burns spoke upon
"The Ministry of Anger" basing his
remarks on the words found in Mark
II, w. 1913. He said there was no
warrant for thinking Of Jesus in
terms of placidity or pietism. Jesus
was so considered it was largely due
to the misconception Of artists. How
ever this should not be so, for none OF
US can forget the anger of Jesus
whether it was in connection with the
use of the scourge of cords or in re-
lation to the attempt of the deciples
to drive away the children when
brought by their mothers. Why this
anger? Not against the persons con-
cerned, but against the spirit actuat-
ing them. So righteous anger should
be used to, combat unrighteousness in
all it's phases.
Minutes passed the order of the
day was consideration CT the report
of the hospital committee. After con-
siderable discussion the report was re-
ferred back for further consideration
and report. Others matters were the
consideration Of amendments. Change
or ratio, change Of the name of the
Quarterly conference, admission of lay
men to annual conference. These dis
cussions took almost all the morning
session, that of the admission Of lay
men was lost, not on account of desire
to keep laymen out but because OF
seeming ambiguity of amendment.
At 2 o'clock Rev. Frank E. Faley.
Board of Conference Claimants, made
an excellent plea for the "Prophet at
the end of the Road"
DR.. Kohlstadt, continuing his work:
gave facts of great moment regarding
the work of the Centenary, proving
what he had said previously, that this
was the greatest and most daring pro-
gram ever organized.
DR.. Edward S. Ninde demonstrated
what a simple sermon was, showing
this by apt illustration drawn from
his own experience and otherwise.
The event of the evening was the
educational banquet held at the Con-
gregational church. DR.. E. P. Rob
ertson brought facts before the gath
ering proving the benefit of the affilia-
ton of the School of Religion with the
State University. Others speaking
were DR.. Barclay, President Allen
DR.. Ninde, Bishop Burns.
The educational anniversary was
held after the banquet at the Metho'
dist Episcopal church, DR.. Robertso or
presiding, DR.. Ingrahom giving the
address, emphasized the great need OF
and benefit of college training for min
listers.
Rev. . A. Foley sang two solos.
Rev. C. E. Vermilya also addressed
the meeting.

BANCROFT'S RECORD
 APICTURESQUE A ONE
Reds Business Manager for 30 Years, RetireS From Baseball

Cincinnati. O.. Feb. 10.-When Frank C. Bancroft, for thirty years business manager of the Cincinnati National league baseball club, was succeeded in that position recently by Frank Behle, an attache of the probate court of this city, one of the most picturesque figures that base ball ever produced passed from the national game.
 Bancroft is ill with neuritis and he has been assured by President Garry Hermann, of the club, that his sal ary will go on just the same. He be- came interested in baseball within few years after the close of the Civil war in which he served as a drum mer boy with a New England regi- ment
 He saw the possibilities in the pro- fessional angle of the game around 1874 when he became identified with the New Bedford team. Later he joined the Worcester team. More than forty years ago he developed two men whose names will live for ever in the annals of the game Harry Stovey, king of base runners for all time and Lee Richmond, per haps the greatest left-handed pitcher of the game. In all baseball history there have been eight games pitched where no man reached first base against the winning pitcher and in less than two years time. Richmond pitched two of these contests.
 Tn 1884, Bancroft managed the fla nous old Providence team that par ticipated in the first world series. He piloted the team through the immor- tai campaign when Charles "Old Hoss'' Radbourne made the pitching record that may never be equaled. "Banny's' team won the worlds championship banner that year.
 Tn 1891 Bancroft appeared in Cin- cinnati as manager of Mike Kelly's Players league aggregation and he re- mained after "Kelly's Killers had gone. He was engaged by the late John T. Brush, then president of the Cincinnati club, to handle the busi- ness affairs of the club. In the gen. eration that followed Bancroft be- came one of the most notable of baseball figures. He piloted the Reds everywhere, arranged their training tours, took them transforming in the fall and between times took clubs to Cuba, Hawaii and California.
 In Cuba he is known as The Fa- ther of Baseball'' as it was he who took the first team of professional players to the island. He is now 76 years old.
