16 THE OMAHA BEE L1AI1Y SPEAKERS TO BE AT MEET OF THE METHODISTS Methodist World Program Convention Opens Tuesday at First Methodist Church. The Methodist "World Program convention," which opens Tuesday evening in the First Methodist church, might have been called a "Wake Up Methodist" convention. for one of its main objects is to arouse the church to the needs of every place under the sun where this denomination has been ap pointed to labor. Headquarters have been estab lished in the Y. M. C. A. building. where the registration of delegates and other convention business is being looked after. From the num ber of applications for rooms, that have been received up to date, it is expected that the attendance will exceed that of any gathering of Methodists ever held in this part of the country. Arrangements are being made to supplement hotel ac commodations by opening private homes for guests, and the fourteen Methodist churches of the city are canvassing their constituency in order to provide rooms for the visi tors. Drl Fisher Principal Speaker. Dr. Fred B. Fisher of New York. known all the over the world as a public speaker and as the leader of the laymen missionary movement, is to be the presiding officer at the sessions of the convention. He will also be the principal speaker at the mass meeting in , Brandeis theater Tuesday evening, and will deliver his lecture on "Christian Democracy for the World." Dr. Fisher is director of the na tional campaign committee of the Missionary Centenary organization. under whose auspices this series of conventions is being held. Three banquets will be served on the closing night of the tonvention. The ministers will dine at the First Methodist church, and the laymen and lay ladies at the Masonic lemple. Dr. Reisner Present. Dr. Christian F. Reisner. who or iginated the minute men idea for church purposes, will be present at the convention. He is well known in this part of the country, having been born in Kansas, and for many years a leading pastor in the west. A. 4". Smith of Council Bluffs, min ute man chairman for the Omaha area, has nearly 4,500 minute men speakers enrolled in his office, 61 of whom represent the Omaha Methodist churches. They are among the most active boosters for the convention and the general cen tenary movement, and are deliver- ing five-minute speeches at many of the services in the churches in the interest of the world program. Buildings For District. The centenary world program is ot considerable local interest be cause of the fact that it includes in its provisions elevin building projects in the Omaha district, five oi which are in the city of Omaha itself. The total cost of the five Omaha enterprises will reach in the neighborhood of $365,000, of which the Centenary commission will do nate slO.UUO. In the state of Nebraska the bene fits from the centenary fund will amount to $6J0,000, and about the same amount will be assigned to the mission work; in Iowa. This money is devoted chiefly to the. de velopment and support of worl: in down town city churches and to sparsely settled rural communities. Many Workers Needy. The program not only provides for financial assistance to needy churches and unchurched neighbor hoods, but calls for a large number of new religious workers, pastors, missionaries, deaconesses and teach ers. The present demand is for 10,000 such workers each year, and Omaha area is expected to furnish 8 per cent of this number. Its quota of the $100,000 centenary (mid is almost 8 per cent, or 5 000,000. As the membership of the Methodist church in these states is over 270,000, and in general this is one of the most prosperous sec tions of the country, there is no doubt that the financial goal will be reached. In order to accomplish all these results a carefully worked out program of education and cultiva-l tion of the field has been going tor- ward for several months. Dr. Geo. W. I sham is the executive secretary tor this area, and with an able staff of assistants he is directing the cen tenary work from the area head quarters in the City National Bank building. Much literature is being sent out each . week, and a news sheet, called the "Fly Leaf" is being published and distributed through the area. Model Prison System Object of Revision of vv,. Army Legal Procedure Washington, Feb. 7. Revision of army legal procedure may result lrom the wdrk of two War depart ment agents which now are review ing the subject of military discipline ior the purpose, not only of estab- hshing model system of prison administration, but also of ironing out inequalities and resultant unfair ness in war time sentences.
