World redemption for practical democracy is the goal toward which the church is striving, as set forth better inthe following words of Dr. S. Earl Taylor, executive secreary of the joint Centenary committee, who turned down a $50,000 bank job in New York City to direct the greatest evangelical movement ever launched, the inspiration for which he received’ on the shore of the Sea of Galilee:- i World Redemption Is Aim “The world cannot be reconstruct- ed by a formula. No mere agree- ment among diplomats can heal the wounds of war, No international constitution, however perfect in its phrasing, andno mere economic revo- lution, however sweeping in its scope, can bring about the universal reign tof peace and good will among men. | ' Such a peace is the fundamental as- piration of every human heart, but it cannot be realized thru force, it cannot be realized thru government and it cannot be realized thru law alone.- World democracy can’ and will be realized only thru the practi- cal application. of the religion of Jesus, and nothing but faithlessness on the part of the Christian Church need delay its realization.” It was such a message that Dr. Taylor brot back from the Holy Land! when, before an interdenominational conference in 1917, he proposed 2 united crusade on the estantism for a.world-wide Christian democracy. His proposal of rais- ing $500,000,000 thru joint efforts was rejected, but the Methodist church proceeded with plans for its Centenary celebration:under his di rection, confident of the far réach- ing results to be attained. Later the joint program was endorsed and Dr. Taylor was selected as executive secretary of the general movement on the.condition that he be allowed to lend his attention to Methodist drive previously outlined. Financial Order Reversed ‘In preparing for this campaign the church, realizing failures that had preceded, reversed its order of pro- cedure in that it authorized a sur- vey of work actually needed instead finjshed work when the appropria- tions ran out. This survey of needs “originally called for expenditures ag- gregating $85,000,000, but with the end of the war it was elaborated on with the addition of $26,000,000 for work in Europe. The $105,000,000 Ppragram;as it now stands embraces both«home and foreign missions, of which>vver $40,000,000 will be spent in‘the home field. Because Wyoming has been desig-, nated as a “frontier” field in the sur- vey, the project insofar as it affects (_* Mections and disbursements in this state may be considered essentially a home enterprise. Subscriptions to this immense missionary fund have Jeen allocated to multitudinous “areas” and districts into which American Methodism is divided, just a8 prospective appropriations in’ the various fields have been compiled in detail by compétent statisticans. As a result Wyoming will contribute that prorated to this state under the “frontier” ‘survey n » Under such conditions the program will appeal | most strongly to the membership! here in that it insures a progressive policy toward spreading the gospel here for the next five years. é + The Problem- in, Wyoming As set forth by the survey tHe “distinguishing characteristics of a frontier community. are newness, movement, , and uncertainty.

No Contest of Territory All this work-is visualized as a tremendous need which the church must satisfy and thru agreements reached between the various denom- inations, activities in foreign fields will not overlap. In certain instances efforts will be combined in e¢duca- tional work and the joint campaign to be undertaken by all Protestant churches will cement these:endeavors more closely than ever in the future.
