Lktfe Talk* «i CWtian U» (By Hun. JoMphua DuMi, fiin Secretary of the Navy of the UaH ed Statee in North CwrtH Chriat iaa Advocate. It is a popular putum for thus* who hava little wealth to prepars oUhorato plana wharehy rick men may taveet their accumulatiooa. "U I tod a million,' i« a favorite play, la ■oat caars th<-*a who think thoy too* battar what to do with noaay than tka poaaoaaor of wtaith, would bo M tuisucce <aful in ita uae as thoy hav« boon un ♦uneeaful in amassing a for «wm.

The message to Southern Method laai today is Foreign miaeion fialdi and bona fields art undermanned foi lack of trained man and woman U carry the goapal to those who sit ii darkness. History teaches us thai most Christian workers art trained ii Christian institutions, and today then is not s college in America, support ed by the church, which is not over crowded. Most of them art compel) ed to turn away aspiring youthi becau. - they lack dormitories, clasi rooms, and teachers. The call upoi all raep and women of meana is to pro vide these facilitias without delay. ~And may 1 emphasise women ? Thii is woman's ace, and much of tlx wealth of the South is in the hand) of women. What of their duty U their sisters who art growing up witl slight educational advantages* Hav< not r idowed with wealth, small 01 large, been "called tothe kingdom foi such a time as this?" Tit* ' lnt woman to receive a ful collet, degree in America win Misi Catherine Brewer, who graduated » 1840 'rom the Georgia Female Col face, .low Wesleyan College, a Metho diat institution, which early aaw wo Map'* rightful and large place in tlx life of the world.

Are not his many dis tinctions and decorations due largel] to her pioneer in the larger culture o: Southern teamen? Ail honor to thi Methodists who succeeded them tha for the lack of large contribution women's college have atruggled ant failed to render the service so sorelj needed. The longing for immortality ia fix r<l in the human heart. Do we nol agree that the only way by which met and women may live after death ir the hearts of their fellows is by theii deeds * Indeed, the big duty for i woman who has mean* is to follow her heart's prompting to make lift broader and easier for her sisters How ia» *he do this so well as b) •pening new doors and larger doors Ui the girl* who are looking eagerly and •arr.ently for the privilege of an edu cation to fit them to carry the gospel tbrontl, to brighten the home, to bt •ffiiiint in business? I know s young woman in Washing Inn City earning her living as a gov ernment clerk, preparing herself aftei nfice ho, rs to become n missionary She mus wait years to go to her field because -he lacked the funds for eariy prepara? in. Srhr'nrships and fellow ships in thurch training schools sho ild invite sn h yoiiiir women to embrace the opportunities and be able to go in the strength of youth to the great work in distant lands which beckons them. WitV-out the endowment of our school.* hiv csn this be accompli«hed. If I ouU' send one message to the worm n n' t! - South, and particularly to Methodist women blested with monev. which means orportunity, it would be. Mi'ke a systematic study of the facilit is for the education of your younir i iters in your commun ity and state tid section. That would be all. If th r will, with woman's insight ind v?ui lan's grasp, learn the true conditions and envisage the gveat needs and their own privilege—if this is done the women with more money thjm they really need will alone con tribute th>- money necessary to equip and endow the colleges for women which are looking for the facilities for extending their usefulness to the Christian Education Movement.

The Marshal'* welcome began a hundred miles out at sea. There the liner Paris, hearing him to tha New World, was joined by twelve Ameri can destroyers. For a time the war craft had it all to themselves, but soon through the most broke a squad ron of seaplanes. The Marshal raised ' his head at the familar sound of sput tering overhead. landing a few yards from Caatle Garden, whorv his famous country man LaFayette had set foot on Ameri can soil, the Marshal found awaiting him a reception thai even his imagina tion could not hr.ve conceived. The wide stretch of open ground had been converted into a great ata | dium, the walls of which were slty 1 sc-r&pers stretching stories high. At every window on the roofs, even out on disiy cornices twenty-five storins ■ibove the street, were perched men and women waving the flags of \w rirs and France. On the streets I li -low were massed a great army of ' welcomer*—men. women and little children. Indeed, it seemed aa all the , little Kirls in New York were there with hnquets which they wished to . ,>res» into the Marshal's hands. As soon as the soldierly little figure I in the light blue uniform of France '■.l-pped off the pier a mighty shout , arose. A few minutes before General Pershing had appeared to the sound of ruffles and flourishes, and these were repeated for the French wat ' •'era.
