British and American Methodism which are serving in adjoining ter- ritory in Southern Rhodesia, Africa, are moving toward closer coopera- tion and fellowship if not into ac-| tual union, through the formation of the “Methodist Council of South- ern Rhodesia” recently in the city| of Salisbury. The Synod of the British church and the Conference! of the American church are both represented. The Rev. Herbert Car- ter, British superintendent, was elected chairman; and the Rev. E. L. Sells, American missionary sec- retary. The two churches are co- operating in making uniformity in rules for membership, in training African evangelists, in work among Indians in the Colony, in religious publications, and in ministering to European young people. The Wartime Service Commmee! of the National Christian Council of China is busy coordinating many forms of national service that the churches are rendering China to- day. A movement for the making of slippers for wounded Chinese sol- | diers was begun in the Methodist Church of Chungking; now, through the Committee, it has spread to hundreds of other churches. The Committee also is promoting efforts to put crippled soldiers,on a self- supporting basis, largely by teach- ing them trades; in establishing a water system for the soldiers hos- pital near Chungking; providing an eye clinic and health service for conscripts in Neikiang; and co- operating with other agencies in a| children’s home for the famine area | ‘hns been with Region IX for more THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU ALASKA +|ACTION PICTURE | | OF WEST COMES | | 201H CENTURY “wild Bill Hickok Rides,” a| thundering drama of the Old West, will be the next attraction at the 20th Century starting Sunday i | Bruce Cabot is st ed in the title ! |role of the heroic marshal who did {!so much to bring law and order to our frontier towns.
