TWO BISHOPS WILL ADDRESS EPWORTH LEAGUE CONVENTION Announcement was made today that the annual meeting of the Fort Wayne district Epworth League, at the First M. E. church of Bluffton next June, will be the greatest in point of prominence of the speaker, in the history of the district organization. In addition to the regular delegates and local Epworth Leaguers, it is expected several hundred others from the district will come for the splendid night lectures. A headliner on the program will be Bishop W. A. Leonard, of San Francisco, national president of the Epworth League, who will be present on Monday, June 19th. Bishop William A. Quayle, of St Louis, will be another headline speaker, and he will deliver his famous lecture, “Jean Vai Jean," considered by many as his masterpiece in a repertoire of about thirty lectures. Bishop Quayle was here some months ago and delighted a large audience with his lecture “Rip Van Winkle.’’ The program will contain other interesting features. A number of Methodists will probably attend the convention. METHODIST TO REMEMBER THEM Indianapolis. Dec. 17. —Children of the Methodist Episcopal church of Indiana are planning a world-wide Christmas offering this year that will kindle anew in the minds of children of many countries the childish faith that a jolly saint still lives, whether he be called Kris Kringle, Saint Nicholas or just plain Santa Clause. A collection at Christmas time has long been the custom but this year it was decided to devote the offering to that part of the Centenary program that ministers to the welfare of childhood and youth. Bishop Frederick D. Leete who prei sides over the Indiana area visited many of the orphanages and relief centers in Europe this summer before he attended the ecumenical conference in London. ZION EV.
