Methodists Arranging
Rallies In 81 Cities
North, South Bishops to Exchange Speaking Visits in
Nationwide MOvement-Citie Listed

With rallies set In 90 major cities,
Methodists In the United States will
greet the New Year with q church,
wide movement comInemorating the
wider reach Of Methodism as
brought about by the recent union
Of Its three principal branches. The
rallies will begin with an all-day
meeting In Boston on January 16
and continue across the nation
throughout the FIRST three months
Of 1910.
Known as the Methodist Advance
and under the leadership of the
Council Of Bishops, directing Or
ganization of the new, united Meth
odist church, the movement has as
one Of Its major detectives wider
acquaintance among Methodist peo-
pie themselves Of their church and
the deeper meaning Of unifcation.
At each rally, team Of three
bishops will join with the resident
area head to present to the conf
MUNYON'S membership the history,
genius, theology, policy and pro-
gram Of the united Methodist
church. In this way, 1t is planned to
reach leaders Of each Of the 10000
Methodist congregations In the
country and, In turn, to take the
spirit Of unification to the church's
entire membership of 100000.
New Areas
To further acquaint the local
church with Its national leadership,
1t Is planned that bishops from the
former Methodist Episcopal church,
South, will travel through the
areas Of the former Methodist Epis-
copal church, and bishops from the
northern areas will tour the south,
while representatives Of the third
branch which entered into the uni
fication--the Methodist Protestant
church-will go into areas where
they are little known.
Program details for each rally
are being planned by local church
leaders in the several communities.
A general outline, however, has
been provided by the council. In
most instances, each rally will be
an all day meeting, with morning,
afternoon and evening sessions.
The morning will be devoted to
discussions Of three major subjects,
"The Aim of the Methodist Ad-
vance," THE Deeper Need of United
Methodism", and Evangelism IN
Methodism's Past and Future" by
the three guest bishops. In the
afternoon, there will be separate
sessions for the men and women, to
| provide an opportunity for q dis
cussion of special problems. The
evening session will be devoted to
Methodist youth.
Several of the rallies viii be held
simultaneously, beginning with a
meeting on January 10, In Boston,

NO FREEDOM IN SIN
Simpson Turner, Speaker

Ever since the dawn of creation, the
greatest cry of mankind has been that
of freedom. And for this, mighty
battles have been fought, mountain
heights scaled, valleys scourged and
high seas plunged. Adventures fol-
lowed adventures and yet there was no
freedom to be found.
Freedom is the permission to make
use of all limitations, to go to the
extent without hindrance, to rise above
the trellis of the laws, to break through
bars, to overlook rules, to turn aside
from advice that binds, and to be
deaf to the command stop"
Youth in vain fights a desperate
battle in search of freedom-but he
oftimes fails to remember that freedom
is not and shall never be found in any
thing that is worldly, carnal or materi-
al-for he that escapes a cell and falls
into a dungeon has gained no freedom.
He that breaks away from the laws
of ethics, the principals of morality,
the teachings of Christ, the guidance of
the Holy Spirit, the sheltering of ever
lasting grace and the comforts of
abiding peace-soOn awakens to find
himself a slave to sin.
The breaking of the laws of the
righteous is the enslavement to the
laws of the unrighteous; Youth dis
sects himself from his mothers apron
string and binds himself to the chains
of hell and calls that freedom. His
cry is that he is old enough to have
his own way; bu no man is old enough
to have his own way if his way is not

Here we are, sport fans, once again

Colonies of Centre. Yes-the thrilling
runs made by Montgomery and the
other Eagle stalwarts coupled with
the local news of the Pine State foot
ball teams relegated baseball to a

strongly for sportdom's attention. And
