Bishop Werner To
Conclude Series

The last of three sermons in
the preaching mission will be de-
livered by the top man in Ohio
Methodism, Sunday at 7:30 p. m.
He is Bishop Hazen G.. Werner,
one of the great preachers of the
day.
Bishop Werner is not only a
splendid pulpit performer, he is
man possessed of unusual
charm. In the recent Columbus
Disatch article about him, the
fact was revealed that the Bis
shop is an enthusiastic horse
man, not too-common weak
ness among ministers.
While a comparatively young
man, he began his ministry in
the thinly populated northwest
under almost pioneering condi-
tions. He rode horseback to his
parishes and practically lived on
salt pork, the principle fare of
his members, Prior to that per-
iod in his life he had been an
aluminium salesman in Canada.
It was then that he felt the call
to preach.
His enthusiasm for the cause of
Christianity has carried Bishop
Werner to the highest office in
his church, but his intimate
friendship with those of other
faiths is well known. In Colum-
bus he enjoys the comradeship
and confidence of leaders of
every denomination
Bishop Werner is a tireless
worker. His hours of effort in
behalf of the church are not
limited by law. He would defin-
itely not favor a three day week
for himself. He has enough prob
lens with a seven day week.
The public is cordially invited
to hear Bishop Werner. Music
for the service will be an anthem
by the choir, solo by Mrs. Robert
Gibson and a pipe piano
selection by Miss Jean Graham
and Mrs, Richard Fox.

'If the bids come within the
amount we have available to
construct and equip the hospital,
then we will attempt to get con-
Struction started almost at once"
the speaker said. Il hope we will
be able to break ground in April" "
Altogether, the Board h as
S500,000 available with which to
build and equip the hospital.
Source of Money
1--WE think this will be enough
to do the job" Mr.. Williams
pointed out, "but we are not
counting on anything until the
bids are in and we actually
know"
The amount available has been
derived from three sources:
/. The original, countrywide
bond issue for $135,OO which was
passed in 1916.
2. Approximately $500, 900
which was raised by countrywide
solicitation, and donations and
gifts which have been made since.
Practically all of this money has
already been given, Mr.. Williams
said, with only a few thousand
in pledges still outstanding.
3. A contribution from the fed
eral government of S175,000.
If the $5O0,000 now available
proves to be insufficient for the
job?
35-Bed Capacity
well, in that event we'll just
have to raise more money through
private donations" Mr.. Williams
