rIE OREGONIAN Has
assembled and published
in book form under the
title "Somewhere Near the War"
the twenty-six letters from

wide margins and adequate
illustrations.
There is no material change
in the text of the original letters
as published in The Oregonian.

has been fixed. Postage will be
additional. The book may be
obtained at the business office

for Bond Purchasing.
The publicity forces o? Christianity
In the form of 17.000 eMthodist pastors
and 75,000 Methodist five-minute men
are to advertise liberty bonds.
Church services or Methodist cente
nary gatherings are to be used, where
required, for the sale of liberty bonds.

land yesterday by Dr. Charles A. Boweo
and Dr. A. L. Howarth, secretary and
associate secretary, respectively, of
the $1 05. 000,000 Methodist centenary
drive in the northwest.
And so as to show in a practical way
that Methodism and Christianity were
behind the government loan the cente
nary drive has been postponed until
the close of the liberty loan, whereas
it was to precede it. The new dates,
said Dr. Bowen, are May 18-28.
Pr. Bowen and Dr. Howarth for the
past 10 days have been attending a con
ference of area secretaries from the
20 area offices of the Methodist cente
nary with the national executives and
representatives of the national cam
paign committee of the centenary at
Columbus. O.
Methodism and the Methodist cente
nary organization especially placed
itself on record in a series of sweeping
resolutions as getting behind the loan
not only morally but actually, said Dr.
Bowen. s
"Every department of Methodism is
to get behind the liberty loan. We In
tend to show the government what the
forces of Christianity, properly mo
bilized, can do." said Dr. Bowen.
