RECONVENTION
VERY IMPORTANT
Meeting This Year of Especial
Importance Because of Pres-
ence of Cejitenary Speakers.
HE annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church.
which convenes in Portland ;
September 25, will be doubly im
portant this year In that the
Centenary committee of the - church
plana to send a team of speakers here
on September, 27. Among the speakers
are Dan B. Brummlt. editor of tbe isp
worth Herald : George B. Van, super
intendent of the department of evangel
Ism and the board of home missions, and
Mark Freeman, missionary In Malaysia.
The Centenary Is being launched in cel
ebration of the one hundredth anniver
sary of the establishment of Methodist
home and foreign missions and Its pur
pose Is to conserve the results of the
war by preparing the church to make de
mocracy safe for the world after the al
lied armies have won the war.
President Wilson said of the move
ment : "I am glad to note concerning the
support of the government at this time
of crisis, a resolution to maintain all
the benevolent, moral and missionary
work of the church, both at home and
abroad, in the most efficient manner pos
sible." Newton D. Baker, secretary of war.
gave his approval xt the movement by
saying: "In spite of the great demands
of war upon the materials market. I
cannot see that there would be anything
unpatriotic in going ahead with the work
that you have planned. We cannot af
ford to neglect the social betterment of
the people of our communities."
The Joint commission of the church
plans to pledge $80,000,000 during the
next five years to put the work of its
foreign and home missions on an ef
ficiency basis. The Centenary will cul
