BISHOP TALKS ON METHODISM IN UNITED STATES Hardships of Early Workers Explained to Convocation Delegates. STATE MEETING ENDS “The Future of Methodism” was discussed by Bishop Homer C. Stunt, who presides over the Omaha area of the Methodist Episcopal Church at the mass meeting last night In Tomlinson Hall, which, together with a general meeting In Roberts Park Church, concluded the State convocation of the Methodist churches of Indiana program. “If the future of Methodism is to be accurately estimated it must be done In view of its past,” declared Bishop Stunt. “It was late in its entry among religious forces of the United States. Other historic churches had been at work more than a century before John Wesley’s first workers arrived in New York. The flaming eTnngellsm of George Whitfield biased up against a sky where the light of Congregationalism. Episcopalianism and Presbyterianism had been shining for 150 years. “It was handicapped by an uneducated ministry, and by an utter lack of attractive houses of worship, it had no colleges and no theological seminaries were preparing its "preachers for their tasks. But since the famous Christmas conference of 1784 Methodism has become the most numerous body of adult, disciplined Protestants in the world. Moreover it has now more educated ministers than any other church, and stands well alongside its sister churches in the matter of colleges and theological seminaries. and leads them all In its wide-spread missionary labors. 17,000 MINISTERS tS CHURCHES. “There are now between four and five million members in its fold, and its preaching and literary work Is done through a medium of 127 languages and en every continent except Australia. More than 17.000 ordained ministers preach In (ts pulpits, and churches that had a running start in financial strength and educated leadership of a century and a half have still much less than half of its statistical record to show as their achievement in winning men to disclpleehlp for the Lord. “At our present state of growth in our world-engirdling activities we shall have a total membership of not less than f.000,000 by 1940. These will represent large and influential churches in Europe, Africa. Asia and South America. These foreign groups will become Steadily more nearly self-governing. Thi9 will be at once a necessity if any semblance of unified fellowship is preserved. Already we who have long served in the outlying groups in the foreign fields know that a steadily Increasing demv.nd for more localized administrative responsibility is faced all the way from Indiana to Argentina. “Our general conferences in the next two or three decades must make ample provision for tffe adolescent aspirations of growing Methodist units in all the ends of the earth, holding them to us as the States in this Union are bound to the Union, yet giviig them ever-larger powers for the control of their own interests, and increasing the numbers ot trained leaders from among the ministers and members on each mission field at a rate not now In contemplation. DELEGATE FROM ROME GIVES ADDRESS. “Apd In all our W'rk we must keep the emphasis upon Christian experience through the new birth and the witness of the spirit, and demand the adjustment of social and industrial relations upon the principles of Christian brotherhood rather than economic advantage.” At Roberts Park Church, Dr. Bertram

The big, electrically-operated Acme-Evans Mills are lineal successors of the first mill in Indianapolis. A century ago, Isaac Wilson, revolutionary soldier, built the first mill on the banks of the White river. Another mill was built in 1840 by John Carlisle. Today the three electrically-operated mills of the Acme-Evans Company stand as marvels of mechanical ingenuity and scientific skill in the milling of flour—evidence of 100 years of progress.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Spain has her troubles, too. After an absence of six months Don Louis de Bourbon, as he calls himself. Is back in the United States. He is a little, sallow man of 40, .who bears a- striking resemblance to the present King of Spain and who claims to M. Tipple of Rome, superintendent of Italian missions of the Methodist Episcopal Church, spoke concerning the Methodist College being erected on the eighth hill of Rome. He told of the forty-two acres on the Monte Mario hill, which is just emtside the city proper of Rome, where the international college Is to stand. He stressed the point that the college is to be a Methodist influence there, but is not to work in competetlon with the Roman Catholic Church. The De Pauw choir gave the musical program during the afternoon. Dr. Walter Dill Scott, president of Northwestern University at Evanston, 111., was heard at the afternon session at Roberts Park Church on the subject "Methodism In Education.” He said that people who have had but little contact with Methodism in education frequently have a wholly Inadequate conception of the Methodist institutions of learning Some look upon the church schools as agencies for the spreading of Methodist propaganda; others have declared them to be merely agencies for making proselytes from other denomlnaI tlonal schools in America while in foreign lands, proselytes from the various heathen religions. I ‘There are people who seem to think I these schools a convenient nla- *• and lihe sons and daughters of Methodists, and as efficient places to give to e disciplinary training such as' had been secured by the parents and grandparents.” he said. “We will never adequately understand Methodism in education unless we re- ! gard every Methodist institution of learnj lng as an institution of social eervlce. AH | institutions of social service may be | grouped into four classes: First, those , institutions that seek to overcome suf- ■ sering produced by poverty; second, those ! that seek to overcome suffering proj duced by disease; third, those that seek i to overcome suffering by sin, and fourth, those that seek to overcome suffering | produced by ignoranc?. Every Methodist • Institution of learning is an institution whose primary service is to overcome the j effect of ignorance. Only insofar as these schools of learning cooperate successfully with other agencies and succeed In their own field of education do they do Justice : to ‘Methodism In education.’ ” Negro Calmly Drove Tnto Yard for Coal William Sweeney, negro, 714% North ; Senate avenue, was arrested today on ! the charge of petit larceny.

tlont, from Don Louis, first, whether he has married the wealthy widow, and second, or better still, how many piastres he has procured from the Sublime Porte to put into pictures. Business has been very bad in the movies during the last year, and even German or any other kind of easy marks would be welcome. Otter interesting arrivals recently were James Eads How, the “millionaire hobo," who has been seven months in Europe, mostly in Russia, and Kurruba, a Peruvian mummy 400 years old. Mr. How carries messages to friends in America from Emma Goldman, Alexander Berkman and “Big Bill” Haywood. He said the notorious trio were decidedly not enthusiastic about communistic government in Russia, but that they would not divulge to him their true state of feeling. The same as. many others who have been in Russia. Mr. How is freighted with a plan for the establishment of trade relations, with that country, and he Is going to Washington to tell President Harding and his Cabinet about it. As for Kurruba, the Andean mummy, be rests in beautiful plush in a safety deposit vault of a bank of Forty-Second street. His owner is a guest at the Biltmore Hotel, a mining engineer from Lima, Peru. Those who have seen Kurruba say he wears a fixed, bored expression, and seems always to be on the point of saying “Please go away and let me sleep.” He Is a candidate for some steam heated museum, provided, of course, that suitable arrangements can be made. “Some years ago I was wandering around Court Square under the fine old

TELLS OF SMALL INVESTMENT; IT MADE A FORTUNE “Money spent for Fepgen certainly Is a good Investment,” says Mrs. Lena Bremer, of 1842 Prospect street, Indianapolis. I’ll tell you why I think so. This medicine relieved me of stomach and nervous trouble I had suffered with for years. It improved me 100 per cent. Atd It cost me only a very little. Yes, Pepgen certainly Is a good investment for people In poor health. “My stomach was so disordered that after eating Just a light meal I would feel uncomfortable. Gas formed on my stomach and I bloated so badly that at times I could hardly breathe. I suffered frequently from attacks of Indigestion. Ms appetite was poor. I also suffered from nervousness and couldn't sleep right. Sometimes I'd wake up during the night snd It would be hours before* I could get back to sleep. “It's a fact that I feel fine since taking Pepgen. This medicine relieved my trouble completely. My stomach never causes me the slightest pain or discomfort. I have a splendid appetite. I never suffer from indigestion, bloating, gas or other stomach trouble. Pepgen also re lieved my nervousness. I sleep 100 per cent better than I did before. “Yes, Pepgen certainly Is an excellent medicine. I recommend It to everybody.” Perhaps this little article will remind you of some friend who has been helped by Pepgen. Pepgen builds health through the stomach and thus through the blood and nerves Strong nerve# and rich blood contribute generously to tbe forgetfulness of sickness. Pepgen nrouses to effective action the elements of nerve mastery that subdue consciousness of defective health. It Is a choice medicine for feeble, fretted nerves. Pepgen Is recommended and sold by the following leading drug stores; Haag's. Hook's, and Huder’s. It is also stocked by other first class pharmacies in In dlanapolis and nearby towns.—Advertlsei ment.

I was introduced later to a man who was in the business of salting oil wells. His scheme was to go into a region, take lease option on a large acreage, put up a derrick, and with a quantity of crude oil brought from a distance, announce a “strike.” Then when tbe rush came oa he would dispose of liis options to tbe unwary, making a handsome prdflt.

He nedeed $5,000 to finish financing his scheme. I tried to raise the money for him here In New York, but failed. “However, he got the money elsewhere and cleaned up a tidy sum.” “Well, what Is the.point of the story?" we asked. “Nothing much, only recently there has been a genuine find of oil In the very district where this plant of a decade ago was put up to catch suckers,” replied the old gambler. “It has started me thinking that It pays after all to be on
