great lay missionary movements that
called attention to his organizing
ABILITY, and world vision, was field
secretary and then associate secretary
or the Board of Foreign Missions of
his church and was one of the young
est bishops ever elected to this great
once. BY reason of his wide travels
and Keen observations upon the va
rled races of the earth with which he
mas to do, he was several years ago
made a Fellow of the Royal Geo
graphical Society of the British En-
pre-, most distinguished honor for
an ecclesiastic.
Bishop Fisher told of the colossal
racial, social and religious problems
in India and he also paid glowing trib-
utes to the workers in that country
who have won marvellous victories
among these awakened Oriental peo-
pies.
He told Of the great field for mis-
sionary work in India, emphasizing the
dense population. the civilization, the
natural advantages and ended by de-
scribing the problems which the first
missionaries had to contend with.
THE real task, however, is before
the missionaries now working in In
dia. Their work is more difficult than
the work undertaken by the original
messengers of Christian religion. The
people are now wiser in the light of
religion than they have ever been be-
fore and they have Christian scales
with which to measure our acts and
every modern missionary is judged, not
by the ancient standards of the jungle,
but by the altruistic standards of the
Son of God.
In concluding, Bishop Fisher said
America stands out as the richest
nation in all human history. The
yearning millions, with faces turned
toward God and toward a new world
of love, wait for the kindly hand and
the burning heart of Christian Ameri-
ca. 1t win not be by loss of vision
or by cuts in appropriations, or by
self-centered nationalism that we
shall represent Christ to these mil
lions. 1t will be by the practice of
the Cross"
Rally Most Successful
The meeting was one of the most
successful held in this district for
long time. The audience listened at
tentively to each speaker and had the
privilege of discussing his own per-
sonal problem with the bishops The
talks gave a new incentive, If any
were needed, and If the rallies have
been as successful in other parts of
the country as they were in this par
tcular area, the churches may conf
IDENTIFY expect a banner year, both in
the amount of money received and the
actual service rendered.

Unless the whole world can become
christian, then we will have to write
down the life of man as a fiasco and a
failure" said William F. Anderson
bishop of the Boston area, in a spirited
address which featured the missionary
rally for the Methodists churches Of
the Augusta district, held at tho
Green Street Methodist church
Wednesday afternoon.
Bishop Anderson spoke eloquentlv,
half appealing to and half rebuking his
audience. He said that the United
states as nation is richer than ever
before. Our increased wealth means
an enlarged responsibility. There is
an appeal to America to be Christian,
and helpful such as never existed be-
fore. He emphasized the fact that in
foreign fields lies one of our greatest
responsibilities. To effect a relief In
these outlying sections it Is necessary
to work together. He declared tina
it is not question of propagation of
Genominational interests, but it is a
question of saving civilization and er-
fecting better conditions throughout
the world.
Dsplores Indifference
In closing his address he deplored
the Indifference SO prevalent in many
churches. He reminded his audience
that neither publicity nor organization
Will save use unless we take it upon
ourselves personally to send aid to our
foreign neighbors.
Bishop Anderson is the presiding
bishop of Methodist churches in the
five New England states, known as
the Boston area. He will be remem-
how th,, q
enrichment as having a most distin-
euished personality together with a
profound grasp of social and religious
problems of our American life. He has
held high stations in the church in
various executive positions, and as
bishop for many years knows America
and the world, and his message had a
profound effect on his audience
DR.. Charles L. Lipp. superintendent
of the Criminal Tribes settlement in
India, gave a splendid talk on "a
Great Religion Without Christ" Dr.
Lipp has been engaged in Indian work
for the past 10 years and is in this
country only until next January, when
he will return to his work in that
country. He gave very interesting
talk on India, its characteristics and
some customs peculiar to that coun-
try, and his talk was closely listened
to by an appreciative audience.
Bishop Fisher of India
Bishop Frederick B. Fisher of CAL
cutta, India, was the principal speaker
at the evening session.
The bishop Is of old American stock
with the finest possible intellectual
attainments. Has served in India as a
missionary and in some of the great
churches in America. He promoted
