The Methodist from Junction City, Kansas • 2

The Methodist Rockwell's. priation for'this field is little short of that for Foreign Missions. Couple with this the further fact that the third of our new societies operates almost entirely in ur own land, and it will be seen that the home land, is amply cared for in our Benevolent enterprises. Next Conference year we will follow the revised organization in gathering up the Benevolences. This year we follow the old plan, and equitable distribution will be made Jan.

SPECIAL NOTICE The subscription agent will be glad to receive subscriptions from all who receive The Methodist, but no one to whom it comes need fear the presentation of a bill therefor. NOVEMBER, 1906. Congratulations.

Dr. Harshaw has been Pastor of the Presbyterian Church in this city for fifteen years. In these days of unrest, when pastors and people are alike unsettled, this is something unusual. The esteem in which Dr. Harshaw is held "MONEYBAK" you know is warranted for two years' wear and only costs $1.25 per yard for the 27inch $1.50 per yard for the 34inch by the community is evidenced in many ways.

The only place where he would not be welcome is among those who are planning or executing some deed of evil. To have lived so long among a people and to have sustained a reputation so unsullied is an achievement of some moment. The Methodist and the church it represents erladly join in the felicitations of this anniversary We wish Dr. Harshaw and his church long continued prosperity in extending the borders of Zion. m--mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm-mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm The Bo Rockwell UVVUtt TV vUu THE DAY OF PRAYER.

Wednesday, October 31st, will not soon be forgotten by many of our people. The call sounded in many hearts and earnest prayer ascended from many devout souls. Every service of the day was well sustained by the attendance of our people, except at the noon-day prayer when but a few were present. But the end of the observance of the day was not merely personal enjoyment of spiritual blessings. The end sought was such a revival of personal religion as would send our people out to more definite effort in Christ's name for the salvation of men.

Whether this aim was realized the coming weeks and months must tell. In one respect the words of Jesus had remarkable verification. He declared: "Unto every one that hath shall be given, and he shall have abundance." Nearly every one of our membership already possessing rich gifts of grace was there to receive yet more from onr Lord. They already had, and to them was given more abundantly! Many of those who confess that they enjoy but little of the Savior's presence did not attend. We fear that thereby they were inviting the loss of the grace they already possessed.

May the voice of God's in warning and entreaty call us all to love Him more and serve Him better. yV Merchandise Grain Co. The Salvation Army. The presence of the Salvation Army in Junction City is justified by the results of its work. Men, women and children, hearing the message of the Savior'slove are constrained thereby to yieid their lives to Him.

Scarcely a meeting has been held by the Army since its coming without that tangible evidence of the divine approval the salvation of souls. We do not care to count the number of conversions sometimes that becomes a snare but they are many. Among the converts are some of our own people who had forgotten the priceless joys of life in Jesus Christ. We praise God for every transformed life, and continually pray for the blessing of Gud on these consecrated workers. We need not all be members of the Army, but we should all be in sympathy with its work, lifting our hearts to God in its behalf, and giving its workers words of encouragement and cheer.

The last General Conference appointed a Commission to effect the consolidation of the Benevolent causes of our church. The preliminary steps have been taken, new charters secured, and on Jan. 1st, 1907 all our Benevolent societies will be merged into the three new ones ordered by the General Conference. These are "The Board of Foreign Missions," administering all our work in foreign fields; "The Board of Home Missions and Church Extension," caring for the evangelistic and church building interests of needy fields in the home land; and "The Board of Education, Freedmen's Aid, and Sunday Schools." This rearrangement will not in any degree affect our offerings for the current year. The missionary work, both home and foreign, has heretofore been under the care of "The Missionary Society," the funds being divided between the two great fields in about the same proportion as that followed in the recent distribution of $852, 093 to the foreign work, and $629,807 to the work at home.

When it is remem-ered that the sum of $130,000, the usual annual income of the Board of Church Extension, is to be added to the sum apportioned above for Home Missions, it will be seen that the appro street.on the following Tuesday, after which the body with that of the child for which she had given her life was laid to rest in Highland cemetery. May the grace of God sustain the bereaved husband and the motherless children. Brott. Mrs. L.

S. Brott, wife of Thos. Brott, passed away on Thursday, November 8, after a painful illness. Years ago Mrs. Brott sought and found pardon in Jesus Christ.

She afterwards wandered from Him, but before her death renewed her vows and with a faith in Christ alone entered into rest. The funeral service was held from our church Friday afternoon. To the husband, children and grand-children we commend the Savior, trusting in Whom their loved one died. Mead. H.

H. Mead, our brother in the faith, was released from suffering on Tuesday, November 13. His had been a long and painful illness, but the Christ who granted pardon for his sin nearly forty-four years ago did not forsake him in the hour of trial. He made a noble fight for life, then quietly pillowed his head on God's promises of peace and fell asleep. He loved music, having been organist in our church for many years.

He has notv gone to share A Moral Victory. The conviction of J. W. Wilkins last week, charged with the illegal sale of liquor, is a moral victory for Geary County in which all lovers of righteousness may well rejoice. Men who engage in this traffic within the bounds of Kansas know that they are violating the law of the state and are liable to fine and imprisonment therefor.

Whatever one's opinion of prohibition, all must agree that the jointist's insolent violation of law should be rebuked. And it is a very small business for any reputable man to try to make capital for the lawbreaker by sneering at the prosecution because the complaint was made by a minister. The minister is a man and a citizen, and as such is entirely within his rights when he seeks to uphold the supremacy of law. The Methodist thus publicly thanks the Rev. Mr.

Marcy, the complaining witness, for his courageous pushing of this case. Both privately and publicly he has had to face a withering scorn which is a disgrace to the men from whom it came. May Mr. Marcy 's courage be contagious! W. A.
