CARTER ( 2 ) INTRODUCTION This brochure presents in some details the particu- lars of the vast Centenary budget. It is sent forth with the hope that a great multitude will assume re- sponsibility for the items set forth herein. It is a catalogue of investments one may make in the Kingdom of God. It is a survey of the spiritual territory to be taken in JESUS’ NAME. It represents both reinforcements and sinews of war to the thin line which has occupied tin* front trenches of the World's outposts in the advance of the Kingdom of God against ignorance, superstition, selfishness and greed. To “Carry On" this program to tin* end will bring salvation, education, civilization and the pursuit of happiness to the heart hungry millions of heathen lands. It will mean making our own land a thoroughly Christian nation, thereby bringing thousands of friendless and neglected ones into a safe citizenship. To the Avar-broken lands of Europe it will mean the rebuild ing <>f ruined towns and villages, care for the orphans and the re-establishment of the people in their homes. To those who “Carry On” this program, it Avill mean the quickening of their spiritual life, tin* broadening of their intelli- gence, the Avidening of their sympathy — a spiritual “Croix de Guerre.” Flung far and Avide to the sympathetic heart of a truly missionary church is the special message of this spiritual catalogue. For a hundred years men and women have been “Carrying On” the missionary work of American Methodism. One by one these pioneers have passed back the Avords, “Carry On.” And now in this eventful era of the world’s history, God’s soldiers must heed the call. We heartily believe that tin* Methodists of the great South and West Avill respond to this appeal Avith undaunted courage, convic- tion and sacrifice: and that with faith undimmed they Avill “Carry On” the great enterprise which the Church has undertaken. The total of $35,000,000 asked in the Centenary is a summation of itemized askings from all the foreign mission fields; mission operations in the United States; the regular income for missions from all sources, and the reconstruc- tion program in Europe. These askings are based upon a scientific survey and were approved by the missions in each field by the constituted boards, the Centenary Commission, and the endorsement of the General Conference. Full information and the story of any object contained in these pages will be furnished on application to the Centenary Bureau of Specials, S10 Broad- way. Nashville, Tenn. The objects marked Avith a star are reserved exclusively for Sunday Schools. The Department of Missionary Education of the Sunday School Board will give information concerning them. There are many other objects which are not included in this book. Write for additional items if you do not find what you AA’ant. THE HEART OF THE CENTENARY IS LAID BARE TO THE CHURCH IN THIS BOOK.

BUSH ( 4 ) AFRICA “I believe that if the facts as they exist in Africa could only be brought home to the churches in America; that the people of Africa are actually beg- ging for teachers, and millions are now in darkness, not by reason of their own neglect, but because Christian people have not obeyed the Great Coin mis sion, they would rise up and put an eml to conditions under which it can be truly said that the people are asking in vain for the privilege of becoming Christians.” CENTENARY PROGRAM— GENERAL WORK.

The two teachers will make possible the great educational ideal of the Congo Mission, to teach every boy and girl in the Batetela tribe to read and to write the Batetela language. The four physicians are needed so that, at no time, will any one of our stations (which should number three at the close of ihe five years) be left un- supplied and the lives of missionaries jeopardized by the lack of this im- portant person. The dentist can divide his time between the Methodist and Presbyterian missions and find plenty to keep him busy. The captain will be needed for the steamboat which is to be put on the Sankuru and Kasai rivers and their tributaries. No work of the Congo Mission is more promising than the Boys’ School, for here the boys are kept constantly in touch with the Mission and the mis- sionaries and away from the devastating influences of their own native vil- lages. They are taught to read and write, they become thoroughly instructed in the Scriptures. Explanation should be made of the seeming discrepancy between the cost of the station churches and of the homes for missionaries. Churches in the Congo do not need to be enclosed; a neat fence, built of the ever-present palm, suffices to keep out intruding animals. The floor is made of dirt firmly beaten, and as the African native wears no shoes, this floor does not soon become dusty. On the other hand, the missionary’s home must have walls, it must have board floors built high above the ground, it must be well screened to keep out the mosquito, and entirely surrounded by a wide verandah to protect the walls from rains and the inmates from the sun. Even with all these comforts the price is very low, not only on the homes, but on all the buildings. Labor is cheap and materials are free. The schoolhouses, which are put down at one thousand dollars each, will be thoroughly equipped. The equipment of fhe three workshops will consist largely of hardware, which will probably be bought in America, as American hardwaie is so much superior to any other. Included in the hospitals will be lazarets for sleeping-sickness patients and for lepers. REV. H. P. ANKER REV. T. E. REEVE MRS. H. P. ANKER ( 6 ) •f AN AFRICAN HOME CENTENARY PROGRAM— WOMAN’S WORK.

No missionary is more greatly needed than the woman teacher. It is abso lately necessary to have women teachers for native women and girls. In the Girls' Homes the native girls will be brought under the influence of the missionaries and kept under their influence. As the name indicates, they are to be homes, and no native girl knows the meaning of home in her village. It is a fact, when we say, that practically no native girl will ever arrive to pure womanhood unless she is taken from her village while still young and kept in a Mission Home.

If a for- eigner should come to your town, preaching some strange doctrine in an out- of-the-way street, in a little hole, dark and dirty, with not the least suggestion of comfort or hygiene, where all tin* surroundings bespeak inefficiency and smallness of purpose and lack of imagination, how long do you think you would stop to consider the claims of that man's religion on your life? This description may not mean much to you, but if you could stand by my side and look into the faces of men as they stop in the street and look for a moment into the place where I am preaching, and then pass on with an expression of pity or contempt written all over them, then you’d understand how my heart cries out for better material equipment, for preaching places that will not repulse more than our message attracts.” CHURCHES Total number asked 63.

SCHOOLS “One of the most significant movements in China today is the education of women. Only a few years ago the Mission Schools were paying Chinese girls to attend school. Today not only our Mission Schools are full of paying students, hut the Government has opened many schools for girls. The Republic brought a certain amount of freedom to t Iso women and girls and they are eagerly appropriating it and reaching out for more. In this transition stage of social reconstruction, in Ibis time of danger, they need protection and guid- ance.

Precedent would have sug- gested that when tin* suffering island had been wrested from the clutches of Spain it should become an American dependency, but the sturdy resistance of Spanish tyranny and the willingness of tin* Cubans to suffer for their liberty proved they w ere capable of self-rule. Time has shown that our confidence was not misplaced. Out of confusion has come order, and prosperity reigns throughout the land. Her agricultural resources are unexcelled, and her in- dustrial and commercial possibilities are great. Great as those events are, what the church of God in America is doing for these people is more enduring. The Methodist Episcopal Church, South, felt she was being led of God to take up work in the new republic, and the great success that has attended the work shows us she has been under His guidance. Much has been accomplished, but we are called on to do more.

Not one in the hundred of the population can he counted Chris- tian. Give them missionaries and raise up native preachers in large num- bers, and the evangelization of that great nation is certain.

Her early evangelization is one of the urgent duties pressing upon the Church. Happily, this fact is admitted on all hands, and churches that hesitated to press the work fifteen years ago are quick to acknowledge that conditions for successful work are favorable. With- in the last decade, leaders in the Church have discovered that more work can be done than simply conserving the work of the past. S. H. WAINRIGHT CHURCH. HIROSHIMA W. K.

The marvelous growth of Ivwansei Gakuin in recent years entitles it to occupy the first rank among Mission Schools in Japan. Developed as the Missionary Centenary contemplates, it will rank with the best in any land. This institution was founded in 1SS9 by Bishop W. It. Lambuth, who was then the Superintendent of our Japan Mission. Starting with only nine theo- logical and seventeen academic students, in a small cheaply built school- house, the second story being used as a dormitory, for many years it was a small mission school. However, deep foundations were being laid and a strong spirit, with characteristics all its own, was developed. In 1910 the Methodist Church of Canada united with the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, by taking joint interest, ownership, maintenance and control. It is now a union Methodist institution for Japanese young men, with an enroll- ment of over 2,000. HIROSHIMA GIRLS’ SCHOOL, HIROSHIMA $145,000 Land and building readjustments, $45,000; Endowment, $100,000. “This school has just passed its thirtieth anniversary. It is the largest Mission Girls' School in Japan, with an enrollment of 937. Thirty years ago there was no provision for the education of girls beyond the eighth grade except a limited number in normal schools. Very few went beyond the fourth year primary. Today there are high schools in every part of the Empire. The daughters of every rank of society enter these schools. In our Mission School we no longer have only the official class, but touch every class of so- ciety. Through the six kindergartens we reach out to every part of the city. The Primary Department is a very important part. The limit of this is our ability to provide for all who wish to come. The calls for kindergartuers are urgent, but the supply does not meet the demand. All missions have recog- nized the kindergarten as one of the most effective ways into the homes, and thence to direct evangelization. All have not yet learned that the work of the REV. W. R. WEAKLEY HIROSHIMA GIRLS’ SCHOOL MISS MARGARET M. COOK. ( 45 ) kindergartner is as important as that of the Bible woman, although of neces- sity different.” ( 'OM BINATIt )N SPECIALS.

CENTENARY PROGRAM— GENERAL WORK WORKERS “If there is to be an advance — an ingathering of multitudes of believers — the ranks of the missionaries must be recruited not only to the point of ade- quately manning all of our institutions and taking care of all of the work now in hand, but there must be enough to go out as pioneers.

The report comes back, “Every- where we went there were crowds to hear us. At some places we could not accommodate all, so the sides of the tent had to be let down. Thousands of people were reached. Hundreds of Gospels were sold and practically every house in each neighborhood received a tract and a kind word of invitation.” Such testimony as this clearly convinces one of the need of an abiding church home for these multitudes so eager to hear.

Christian Litera- ture. This need must be met not for the sake of the preachers and Christian workers alone, but for the educated non-Christians who are rapidly increasing in number and who can be more effectively reached through this means than by any other. It is poor policy to spend time and effort and money in pre- paring men to do an important work, and then send them forth without the equipment necessary for their own sustenance and the prosecution of flu* work they have been trained to do. ‘Korea has a far greater number of Christians in proportion to the population than any other country in the Far East,’ and yet the variety and range of Christian Literature is much smaller in Korea than in India, China or Japan.” DR.

CORBIN ( 68 ) PLAZA LERDO, MEXICO CITY MEXICO Mexico, our ueighbor, whose territory stretches from our southern border almost to our possessions on the Isthmus of Panama, is one of our most im- portant Mission Fields. For her evangelization no church has a greater re sponsibility than has the Methodist Episcopal Church, South. The chaos occasioned by the revolutions which raged throughout the Republic for years has in many places utterly destroyed the work and in all places hindered it, hut order is being restored and re-entering the field need not be delayed long- er. While the revolution caused disappointment and anxiety, it was not an unmixed evil. Many abuses have been swept away, as the following statement by one on the field will show: “While there remain, especially among the women, many devout Catholics, there has been a great falling away from Roman Catholicism during the past six or seven years. Romanism’s attitude toward political affairs has stirred up a great deal of antagonism on the part of political leaders. The attitude of the Government toward us is quite fa- vorable. Protestant teachers are employed in Government schools with pref- erence. The Government usually looks upon Protestants as those that can be depended upon.” REV. LAURENCE REYNOLDS MacDONELL MEMORIAL CHURCH ( 69 ) t WORKERS For the reopening and extension of the work in Mexico sixteen men and thirteen women missionaries are needed. The news comes that the Churches are filled to overflowing, many giving themselves to the Lord and receiving baptism. Equally urgent is the rebuilding of churches destroyed in the on- rush of revolution, and erecting new ones in strategic places. In the na- tion’s capital and surrounding country, in the past two years, unusual suc- cess in selling Bibles and portions has attended the work of the American Bible Society.

B. NEWBERRY REV. J. A. PHILLIPS EDUCATIONAL AND MEDICAL WORK Plans for developing the Educational work on a large scale come to us from Mexico. Sixty per cent of the people are illiterate. It is a well-known fact, however, that nearly all Protestant Christians can read and write, which fact greatly strengthens the claim that the services of a large number of missionaries must be secured for Educational Work. A strong appeal is made for the building of a school in the City of Mexico. Along the border and even among the Mexicans on the Pacific Coast the work must be pushed. It is urged that Industrial and Normal Schools be established, that the Protestants may be fitted to become leaders in State and society.

This is net true. The praying people have ministered to the Indians in the name of the Lord Jesus. Other people, who do not pray, have exploited the Indians. Christians have prayed for the Indians, while some of the un-Christian ele- ments have preyed upon them. The undivided Methodist Church began work among the Indians in 1S22. In 1S44, when the Methodist Church was divided, by common consent, the Indian work among the Five Civilized Tribes fell to the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.

South- western Virginia, Northwestern Georgia, and Northwestern Arkansas. The purest and richest Anglo-Saxon blood to be found in the world is in the mountains of the South. While many thousands remain much as they were one hundred years ago, some have been brought under the influence of modern movements and have shown an ability and susceptibility not found among young people from the lowlands or the city. Conference boards are doing much for them. The Hoard of Missions is helping some. It is desired to place an Efficiency Superintendent in each Mountain District, who shall increase the efficiency of the work already being done and map out new fields to be occupied.

We pro pose to erect a Girls’ Dormitory, remodel Ihc Boys’ Dormitory, and provide a large Administration Building for Holding Institute, build a Wesley House at Tampa, Florida, with playground equipment, day nursery attachment, clinic, kindergarten, social club, and class room. Buildings to suit the de- mands of the work at Los Angeles and Key West must be erected.

This Institution has served as an educational center for Mexicans on the border since 1882. The buildings are wholly inadequate and the furnishings no credit to the Church. Last year it turned away two hundred for lack of dormitory capacity. MARY ELIZABETH INN MISS MAY ORA DURHAM MISS FLORENCE WHITESIDE ( 86 ) $15,000 SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS, WESLEY HOUSE Gymnasium, $2,000; Clinic, $8,000; Laundry, $5,000. This Wesley House is located in a community of 10,000 Mexicans. The homes of l lit* people are small. Most of them take in washing, and with no place for drying the clothes and ironing them save in their living rooms. It can he easily seen how demoralizing to family comfort and order the pres- ence of wet clothes and almost constant ironing is in the cabin home. NOGALES, A III ZONA (MEXICANS) $25,000 New School Building, $25,000. It is difficult to rent or purchase a building typed for a school. A suit- able building must be erected as soon as possible for this new enterprise. HOMER TOBEKMAN CLINIC AND SETTLEMENT. LOS ANGELES. CALIFORNIA $55,000 Building and Clinic, $55,000. The Clinic and Settlement now occupy two small buildings on rented ground. The purchase of lot and the erection of a new building are impera- tive. This building must serve the Clinic, which is large; it must also serve the congregation, residences for the workers and space for clubs and classes. A wide and effectual door awaits the minister. WEST TAMPA, FLORIDA (CUBANS) $10,000 Wesley House, $10,000. This is a pressing need. The Wesley House furnishes a day nursery, kin- dergarten, gymnasium and clinic for nine thousand Cubans. YBOR CITY, TAMPA, FLORIDA $10,000 Wolff Mission. Day Nursery, 810,000. This Settlement must have a Day Nursery. The Clinic must have enlarge- ment. Provision must be made for a milk station and other welfare work. A day nursery is a demand for any evangelistic institution among the Cubans. Getting the children under evangelistic touch means holding them and their families for future development. *!!• ORIENTALS, $33,000 Building. Oakland, California (Japanese), 810.000; Building, Dinuba, California, 88,000; Building (laud included), San Francisco, California (Koreans), 815.000. We conduct a large Japanese and Korean work on the Pacific Coast. We own but one piece of property, and the development of the work at that place far exceeds in efficiency that at other points. A building must be erected to serve as Church and Social Center at Oakland. For the same reason a build- OEACONESS MARY HASLER BREVARD INSTITUTE MISS DAISY RITTER ( 87 ) ing must he erected at Dinuba. The Korean Church and Mission in San Francisco is forced to occupy rented property which may be taken from us at any time. This Church is the largest organization for Koreans in America. The importance of Oriental Missions in the United States cannot be over estimated. We want to give the foreigner t lie best we have in our civilization. Christianity is our best, and the Chinese or Japanese will be a force for good in bis new home if he can only embody in his life the Christ life. Ten thousand of the 130,000 Japanese are to be evangelized by our Church or live among us as pagans. It is for us to choose. Twelve hundred Koreans have also been alloted to us. This work is now being carried on vigorously and successfully. Five Japanese and Korean preachers and six other trained work- ers make up our working force. Our work for the Japanese at Alameda is car- ried on in Mary Helm Hall. The Japanese themselves have erected a Mission in the Sacramento River Circuit which is served by a Japanese pastor. In the city of San Francisco a commodious hall is rented for the Koreans, called by them the Korean Center of North America. Already we have an Oriental membership of 250. We propose to purchase a building at Oakland adequate for church, school, and social work and furnish rooms which may be rented to transient Japanese, and establish a church, educational, and social center at Dinuba. GULF COAST, MOUNTAINS AND MINES Along the Gulf Coast we have the foreign problem on our hands. The French element and the newer Italian element must come under evangelical influence, otherwise our own work in that region is sure to be hindered. A Wesley House at Riloxi, and St. Mark’s Hall, Esplanade Street, New Orleans, are in charge of trained workers, and great good is being accomplished. At Houma there are two trained workers conducting clubs and classes among the scattered French people as the beginning of a larger work, and a port mis- sionary as the representative of the Church of God stands at Port Galveston to help the immigrants in their hour of need as they reach our shores. We propose to erect a church and gymnasium for the fishermen at Riloxi; pur- chase property and erect a suitable building for the enlarged work at St. Mark’s Hall, New Orleans; provide a Gospel Center for rescue work and service for (he “down-and-out” in the congested sections of New Orleans; be- gin educational work for the girls of the French people of Louisiana, and make permanent the immigration work of Galveston. GULF COAST, $82,500 WESLEY HOUSE, RILOXI, MISSISSIPPI $12,500 Moving Church, $500; Gymnasium, $2,000; Extension on Gulf Coast, $ 10 , 000 . A gymnasium, kindergarten room and enlargement of the Day Nursery are needed for I lie present work. A Clinic must be added. The foreign born people who settle in lliis community are extremely poor, know little of sani tat ion and need physical as well as spiritual help. ( 88 ) ST. MA UK’S IIALL, NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA $70,000 .Modern Building, $58,000; Increased Force, ‘I, $2,000; French Work: 1 lit* opening of two new Settlements, each, $5,00(1 — $10,000. Without doubt the biggest and tin* greatest demand of the Centenary in the homeland is equipment for a large Protestant enterprise at New Orleans. A building to furnish residence for trained workers, space for clubs and classes, clinic, laundry and an auditorium for church purposes, which will present a Protestant work that will commend itself as scientific and religious, is the demand for this great coast city. Tiained men and women of deep re- ligions lives are needed, who are willing to bury themselves in institutional work. MOUNTAIN AND MINE WORK, $158,500 RREVARD INSTITUTE, P.REVARI), NORTH CAROLINA $73,500 Oiils' Dormitory. $40,000; Boys' Dormitory, $30,000; Increased Fac- ulty, 2, $2,000; Repairs on Institute, $1,500. If an institution is granted financial aid commensurate with results of the work, Brevard Institute should have all that she is asking for. SUE BENNETT MEMORIAL SCHOOL, LONDON, KENTUCKY $75,000 Chapel, Gymnasium and Library (High School), $40,000; Addition to Boys' Dormitory, $20,000; Farm, $5,000; Laundry, $10,000. This splendid school, with its magnificent record of service, needs a chapel, gymnasium, library and an addition to the boys' dormitory. It must have a laundry. Think of a school of four hundred students without a laundry and a chapel ! WESLEY HOUSES AT MINES (NEW WORK) $10,00o Two excellent schools, well equipped, and satisfying the demands made on them, are well supported by this Department. The Sue Bennett Memorial School, London, Kentucky, has valuable prop erty. 408 students in attendance and a faculty of seventeen teachers. Brevard Institute, Brevard, North Carolina, has high standards, 271 stu- dents and 14 teachers. A high-school building, chapel, and boys’ dormitory are to be erected at the former school and a boys' dormitory at the latter. Two Wesley Houses have been established in mining districts and success- fully used. Eight Deaconesses have been engaged in different mining sec- tions and the number is to be doubled. CITY WORK AND DEACONESS TRAINING The Home Department of the Woman’s Missionary Council, co-operating with thirty -six City Mission Boards, have seven co-operative homes for young working women and forty Wesley Houses or other social institutions in for- eign, negro, cotton mill, and other English-speaking industrial sections. Last ( 89 ) year ninety-two Deaconesses personally reached 23,200 homes. The Wesley Houses served 208 industrial classes, 19 night schools, and 205 clubs that give education, manual training, and the teaching of English to foreigners. Our accommodations are inadequate, for in one city alone 750 young women were turned away for lack of room. We have definite plans to increase the num- ber of Deaconesses and Missionaries to meet the demands of the vast home mission field, to provide Methodist dormitories at State schools and univer- sities, to build a hospital for the special training of Christian nurses for dis- trict service, to provide scholarships for language study for those who serve in foreign communities, and to increase the number of Co-operative Homes. CITY WORK $442,000 Methodist Dormitories at State Universities' and Colleges $200,000 Scholarships for Foreign Study 12,000 Wesley Houses and Co-operative Homes 130,000 Wesley House, St. Joseph, Mo $25,000 Wesley House, Louisville, Ky 20,000 Methodist Institute, Richmond, Va 50,000 Wesley House, Fort Worth, Texas 5,000 Wesley House, San Francisco, Calif 30,000 There are more Methodist young women in the State Colleges and Uni- versities than are listed in our Methodist Schools. Religious instruction is prohibited in State schools, and while many noble men and women are un- consciously molding life by the power of their Christian personality, there are many others who through this same power of personality hold, if not agnostic, anti-Christian influences upon the students. The State commands resources not available to the denominations, and Methodist students go where they can get what they want. If the Church is to conserve its young people — who go to the State institutions — to Christian citizenship, it must recognize this menace and prepare to meet it. A Church dormitory, near the campus, with positive Christian character, can create an environment which must do ils part toward anchoring the children of the Church in the faith of their fathers. VASHTI INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL, THOM ASVILLE, GEORGIA. . .$100,000 Remodeling Administration Building, $10,000; Laundry, Dining Room and Store, $15,000; Three Cottage Homes, 1(5 Girls each, $75,000. The by-product of our civilization is the broken, impoverished home of the helpless girl. For thirteen years the Vashti School has done a great work among these children at a time when they needed a friend. The present building is entirely inadequate. The method of conduct of the Institution must be mended. This cannot he done until the cottage system is introduced. HOSPITAL, SCARRITT BIBLE AND TRAINING SCHOOL, KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI $100,000 There is more demand for training Nurse Deaconesses than for any other work in the Church. The Deaconesses who have not had nurse-training real- ( 90 ) i /.(“ their limitations. The call for a hospital that will emphasize district nursing is a need for our city work. This Institution related to Scarritt will add to the equipment of the only training school we have in the Church. NEGRO WORK Industrial training for girls at thd Annex, Paine College. Augusta, Geor gia; Bethlehem House, Augusta, Georgia; and Bethlehem House, Nashville, Tennessee, co-operating with the Sociological Department of Fisk University, represent our work for negro women and girls. Dormitories to accommodate •'{00 girls, a building for teaching industries, and an administration building, including a library, society balls, and a large dining room are to be erected at Paine College. The Bethlehem House at Nashville, Tennessee, is to be en- larged so as to include a chapel, class and club rooms, equipment for indus- trial training, and a gymnasium. The Augusta Bethlehem House must lx* remodeled and have new equipment, and tin* number of these bouses multiplied wherever the need appears. NEGRO WORK, .1624.1,000 PAINE ANNEX, AUGUSTA, GEORGIA -16148,000 Two Girls’ Dormitories, each, 840,000; Industrial Building, $25,000; Administration Building. $30,000; Model Home, $2,500; Model School, $5,000; Infirmary, $2,500; Gymnasium, $3,000. The only negro school owned and directed bv the women of the M. E. Church. South is Paine Annex. Dormitory provision is made for one hundred girls. Last year we turned away twice as many as we admitted. We are asking for two buildings like Bennett Hall which will accommodate two hundred more girls. The rooms used for industrial training are small and inadequate. Paine students could get better facilities than have been furnished them by our Church, but there is a loyalty on the part of the colored Church to the M. E. Church, South, which cannot be overlooked. Provision must be made for the children of our own denomination, because the C. M. E. Church is our own. At Paine there is no provision for sickness. An infirmary is demanded, according to the health program of the nation. BETHLEHEM HOUSE. AUGUSTA, GEORGIA $27,000 Cottage for Workers, $5,000; Remodeling Bethlehem House. $12,000; Laundry, $10,000. We own a small building where social and educational work is conducted in a densely populated negro community. A residence for the workers is a necessity. A laundry where the colored washerwomen may bring their laundry would be the greatest community benefactor that one could offer to the colored people. MISS M. L.

BETHLEHEM HOUSE, NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE $68,000 Administration Building and Hall, $50,000; Worker’s Model Cottage, $8,000; Laundry, $10,000. An experience in racial co-operation for the betterment of the negro is in process here. The poor and ignorant negro waif, the unlettered mother, t lie sick, the needy who have not had a chance, are found by the Bethlehem House workers, Deaconesses and other trained workers. The educated negro men and women who have something to give their brothers are sought out and come to help serve the needy of their own race. The work at this point furnishes not only an opportunity for the up lift of those who are in need, hut it serves as a training center for the Social Service Department of one of the leading negro universities. This work, in which we have been engaged lor six years, is housed in a rented building which is totally inadequate. For the institu- tion to measure up even half-way to its opportunities all of the items asked for must be provided.

The Scarritt Bible an»l Training School is the ONLY School in the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, South, whose distinctive work is the training of mis- sionaries for the Woman’s Work at home and abroad. The School has ren- dered over twenty-live years of effective service, and over one thousand young women have received training within its halls. To meet the NEW needs cre- ated by the ENLARGED MISSIONARY CENTENARY PROGRAM of the Church, this institution must be enlarged and more substantially equipped. The Centenary Movement is calling for one hundred and fifty-nine well- equipped new women missionaries and deaconesses AS A MINIMUM for the next five years. The Scarritt Bible and Training School must be prepared to meet this new demand for the enlistment and training of life. There is no greater call through the Centenary.

The war is still on and must be until we have made the world as safe for Jesus Christ as we have made it safe for democracy. To the war-broken lands of Europe the Centenary will mean the rebuild- ing of ruined towns and villages, the care of orphans, the re-establishment of the people in their homes, the building of churches and the interpretation of Evangelical Christianity to the masses. A special Commission of American Methodism visited France, Italy and Belgium. They saw the ravages and cruelties the War of Autocracy had imposed upon people and country. Their hearts were mightily moved with compassion and pity. The details of a great constructive program of love and service are now being sympathetically wrought out.
