UNION OF CHURCHES Prolonged Outbursts of Applause at General Conference SARATOGA SPRINGS The re commendation of the Board of Bish ops o fthe Methodist Episcopal church for an organic union with the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, aroused great enthusiasm among delegates here Tuesday. This recom mendation was contained in the epis copal address, the formal utterances of the Board of Bishops to the con ference, which was read by Bishop John W. Hamilton, of Boston. "We are convinced of the essen tial unities of the two great Metho disms in doctrine and life, and this must in due season express itself in outward and organic form. We de clare ourselves earnestly in favor of the organic union of the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, and of such other bodies as may share our common faith and experience. More over, we declare ourselves in favor of such union upon terms that shall provide an ample and brotherly pro tection for any minority." Snow fell over eastern Massachu setts and Rhode Island Friday, the latest date for any appreciable fall in more than 27 years. NEW ENLISTMENTS WANTED Preparedness is the absorbing topic of conversation in these United Sta tes today.' No matter what form of Preparedness you are supporting, I believe you will admit that a military company is of great value to a town and county. The War Department requires a minimum enlistment of 65 men to each National Guard company. The Granvile Grays need right now 30 good men. In the city of Oxford there is at least 40 young men that should join our company. This is not a matter of preparing for war with Mexico, or any other country. It is a matter of keeping this organization up to the proper standard of efficien cy. It is of vital importance that we get these enlistments right away, so we can prepare for the annual en campment which will be held at Morehead City in July. E. E. FULLER, Captain, J. I.

SHOTWELL) The Southern Conference for Edu cation and Industry held at New Or leans, April 16-20 was a great meet ing. One of the most gratifying fea tures of the conference was that the educational, religious, agricultural, interests of the South were brought together in one great meeting, all working in the interests of the rural community. As far back as 1900, Dr. G. S. Dick erson, the field agent, urged the Con ference to fix on the community -get at the means of developing the whole so that it can give the individ ual his chance. Stressed thru the succeeding years the idea grew into the great demonstration of the organ ized community which was given in Louisville in 1914. Last year in Chattanooga definite steps were tak en to get at the best means for stim ulating real, community life in city, town and country.. The first step was to organize nation-wide committees to focus thought and experience upon the three fundamental community pro blems: recreation, economy and edu cation. Mr. Warren Foster, of the Youth's Companion was chosen chairman rf the committee on or ganized recreation; Mr. John Sprunt Hill, Durham, N. C, chairman of the committee on organized economies and Mr. T. H. Harris, state superin tendent of Louisiana, chairman of the committee on organized education. From each of the general commit tees special committees were form ed to study the smaller fields of work of each committee. These commit tees secured reports from people who are really engaged in the work and showed that these plans can really be done. "How we are doing it" seem ed to be the theme of the Conference. The special feature of the South ern Women's Conference was the re port of what organized womanhood is doing to make the home, the school a better place in the community. Ex hibits of weaving, basketry, pine needle work, wood and metal work and nut products, showing the possi bilities of these industries for girls and women in the South were ex ceedingly interesting. One of the most suggestive ad dresses was given by Miss Bessie Murphy, Director of Woman's Depart ment, Bureau of Farm Development, of Shelby County, Tenn. She works under the direction of the Business Men's Club of Memphis and has or ganized 26 co-operative clubs in the county with a membership of 1,686, all working and co-operating for bet ter communities, better echools and better homes. The Conference was given several opportunities of seeing historic New Orleans, an afternoon ride on the Mississippi being of unusual interest.
