ASSIGNMENT of pastors for the
coming; year In the western
conference of the Xorwgin
Danlsh Methodist Episcopal church
vert announced at the closing ses
s:on of the convention held In Port
'land. David C Hassel ot Salem was
ordained Into the ministry and made
a fellow member of the conference.
Rtv. Gustav Storaker, of the Van
couver avenue church, Portland, was
also made a fellow menber.'
Los Angeles was announced as the
meeting; place next year. The ses
sions were sh-esided over by Bishop
Charles Wesley Burns of Helena,
Mont., who save the closing "drees
of the convention on the subject
"The Living Church in the Modern
World." Excerpts from the speech
follows:
Materialism has made a mess or
the business of managing this world.
There Is a need of an infusion of
spirituality in Its management. If
there Is not enough in Christianity
to save our present edifice of civili
sation, there Is nothing anywhere
else to save civilization.
"Out on the western plains when
the frontiersman has lost a sense of
direction and goal he back-trails un
til he picks up the sure marks that
point toward his goal. Our supreme
noed In this hour Is for the church
m.d citizenry to back-trail until they
pick up the clue of life and the way
of the Living Christ. In the 'Brim
ming Cup- Is a story of an old man
who sold his farm and went south
Just to say 'Mr.' to colored men, to
elevate them in dignity and worth.
So must the brotherhood of Jesus
reach all peoples in a common dec
laration of transcendent human
warth. Does America need anything
more in this hour than to be loved?
"Methodism today affirms Its con
viction in the spiritual significance
of all history and Its belief that in
the matter of world redemption the
Nazarene is able. The world pro
gramme of Methodism is equal to
Its share of the new-age responsi
bility, as other ages In the changing
. order of the centuries, because i. is
characterised by the freshness of
power which possessed earner
Christianity when It started out as
a world religion. A world programme
nli.ne will meet world conditions,
'ins prophet-engineer mind is the
inr.dern mind. Provincial thinking is
not only anchronistlc but is 'treas
onably trivial toward these expand
ing times.
"Our modern situation Is very like
that of Alice in Wonderland to
whom the fairy said significantly.
In fairyland we must run fast to
keep up with where we are.'
"What are those kingdom forces
reproduced In Methodist's front to
trie world today? They are evan
gelism, not mechanical, but the In
vestment of life and personal com
mitment to Christ; social, ministry,
a full-orbed gospel, individual and
social; education that is both scien
tific and spiritual; and a cosmic
convlotlon of spiritual responsi
bility." "These are some of the reconstruc
tive forces of the kingdom, that
Methodism emphasizes in world-rebuilding
saturated with missionary
mood, taking vital and sacrificial
purt in the common concerns of
the world, thinking internationally,
planning internationally that a
world passion may be generated to
exalt the living Christ in the mod
ern world."
