METHODIST PROTESTANT NEWS

A membership drive is now under
way in our Sabbath school. Ask
someone who is not now attending
Sunday school to come to our ser
vice next Sunday morning at 10 o.
clock and enjoy an hour of music,
Bible study, and pleasant fellow
ship. Our future church is the Sun
day school of today, and what it will
be depends upon each individual. Let
us make this such an attractive,
though sacred, service that all will
feel pleasure in attending.
The pastors subject this Sunday
morning will be "The Lambs Bride" "
and in the evening Christ Knocking
at the Hearts Door"
In his sermon to the primary de-
partment last Sunday at the begin
ming of the regular preaching ser
vice, the pastor asked the children
some questions that might well
cause the grOwn-ups to ponder.
Their quick response showed the re-
suits of thorough Bible training. A
right beginning in childhood will US
ually lead to a life of Christian SER
vice.
Not much has been written of late
concerning the choir, but they are
to be found each Sunday in their
places, ready to furnish special mu-
sic and to cooperate with the pas
tor in all departments, in order to
make this a church that will fulfill
the needs of the people.

Manila Is Somewhat Fearful Of
 Coolidge's Appointee

Manila. Dec. fl (P) - The news of the appointment of Henry l.. Stimson as governor general of the Philippines was received here with mixed feelings, especially by Amer ican business men. While publicly praising Colonel Stimson and dcclar- ing that his ability virtually assures success 10 his administration, many Americans expressed concern over the changes in the Philippine gov ernment advocated by him in recent months.
 In an article in Foreign Affairs magazine last April, Mr. Stmson proposed the development of Ire sponsible' majority and minority po- litical parties and that the depart- ment secretaries composing the gov crnor generals cabinet be selected from the dominant party. He also proposed that the American gover- nor general use the veto only in cases of serious dcreliction.
 The appointment is taken by some to mean that the Filipinos arc to be given greater autonomy. Among those who see this as a possibility is William F. Anderson. prominent democrat and head Of one of the largest importing and exporting firms in the islands.
