GREAT WORK OF
CHURCH IN CHINA
Secretary

AS an example of how the Gen.

Church, Sonth, is sweeping the

Southern Methodists to the cause
of world missions, DR.. j. w. Cline,

Centenary funds sent to China
have been applied quite largely to
the erection of churches, all the
way from large wellequipped cent
ers in the great cities to small
churches in villages and country
places, where the people have been
worshipping in foorless cabins.
This need has been urgent long
time but the funds have been want
ing. wish it were possible to tel
how many congregations have been
assisted in this way and what it has
meant to them.
"Another portion of Centenary
funds has gone to the help of our
splendid school system, from 500
chow University, the central insti-
tuition down to the correlated mid
die schools aud then to the prima-
ry schools scattered all over our
territory. And yet with all the
Centenary can do for us we are un-
able to meet adequately the educa-
tional needs for the vast Chinese
field, with its population of 90 0,000,-
900 for which Southern Methodism
is responsible.

sented TO us splendid property as
site for the promised hospital.
The Centenary alone and the full
collection of Centenary funds can
make it possible for US to build it.
"Iu addition, many new missions

BY WILLIAM t. ELLIS.

Two central ideas are still strug-
Cling for dominance in the conference
and they are personifled by two
great marble statues which are among
the sights Of Washington. One OF
these is the heroic figure of Lincoln
by French, In the peerless Greek
temple called the Lincoln Memorial
and the other is vincenzo vela's elo-
quent figure in the Corcoran Art Gal
lery. ''The Last Days of Napoleon"
In these two masterpieces Of sculp-
ture is embodied more of the signifi-
canoe of the present stage Of the con-
ference than may be gained from the
wearied utterances upon the present
state of things by dignitaries with
sawn nerves-such interviews as are
the daily food Of correspondents. !.
The truth that lies back Of the
facts is spoken SO clearly by these
two art treasures of the nation that
even the tourist. trying hurriedly to
take in" more than he can hold. may
scarcely miss it. Napoleon incarnates
impenitent milftarism, and Lincoln
represents the peoples plea. the cause
OF humanity, the yearning for justice
and peace.
Three doors away from the building
in which the conference sits is the
Corcoran Art Gallery, which displays
as its chief treasure among sculptures
a seated figure of Napoleon. heroic
size. The statue draws the visitor
again and again. 1t represents the
man who once sought world rule as
now a prisoner. an invalid. devoid OF
all signs Of pomp. With the pillows
and wrappines OF a sick man abou!
him. he sits with map of the world
on his knees. The massive head is
bowed in grave contemplation. Dreams
Of empire and of the successes that
might have been are in the far-away
look Of the eyes that seem to be sur
veying the glory that was missed as
well as the glory that was possessed.
No Trace Of Penitence.
There is no trace OF penitence or
disillusionment in the face. The fig

ism. it is true, but no regret for 1t.
