m 1EED0FG I Bishop Henderson Tells Conference Ministers They Must Interest the Laymen. Personal evangelism seven days a week instead of the protracted two weeks' meetings annually wan declared by iiishop TheoUore Henderton, chairman of the Methodist commission of tivanirelism the (ne and only method of building up a powerful Christian organization and bring- i ing souls to Je.-UH Christ in a short ' address before the conference Friday morning. The minister who confines himself to evangelism from the pulpit at stated periods every day attacked by tht) speaker who quoted lnnumberable examples of how continuous evangelism has been succeraful. A program has been outlined by the commission of vangelism oi' the . l . I 1 I l V - 1 1 - - ' church which has made a study of the problem. This program is available to all the ministers and Bishop Henderson urged them to tal-e up the work as prescribed in the outline. The speaker declared that there are few ministers who deliver evangelistic sermons other than during their annual revival meetings. He said that the ministers who give the invitation at each meeting they conduct are in the minority but urged that the pastors make it a point to make their sormoiw such that theinvltatlon can be offered at the cloe or each service. Should Interest Laymen. That the ministers snouid gather around them a band of personal workers from the laymen of their churches was the assertion made by the speaker, who declared that there are many of the laymen who are anxious and willing to do this. "I have heard some of my brethern exhort their people to do personal evangelistic work," he declared, "but the trouble i3 that you ministers do not give them anything to do." He then showed how the ministers could outline the work for these laymen and what results could bo obtained through the service. liishop Henderson declared that there are thousands of men and women awaiting the call of special Christian service and that it is the duty of the ministers to find these people and start them along the proper cnanneis. "We need 1,000 of such special Christian workers," he asserted, "to replenish the ministry." one of the interesting features of liishop Henderson's talk was his reference to the church membership of the college student. Look Alter Students. "When your boy or girl leaves home for Purdue university, or LePauw university or your state school at Itloomington, hand them their church letter. Iy not doing so you detach the youth lor that period in the formative stage of life, they will be detached from the church for longer und perhaps forever." liishop Henderson related many interesting examples of what good results were obtained through personal evangelism, pointing out a number of ministers and laymen who had achieved great success in converting men and women to Chlrst through week day service as well ;ws Sunday work.

The French flotilla of air machine!! that took part in the bombardment of Gutgnicourt, between the Ol-e and Aisne rivers, consisted of 72 aeroplanes, the greatest number that has taken part In any raid since the war began. Guignicourt is on a narrowgauge railway which lies between Complegne and Rethel. north of th Aisnc river. One branch of this line runs to Laon. Attacks upon this railroad line are designed to cripple th communications with Gen. von Herlngen's annjv .nd part of that of Gen. von Kluck.
