METHODIST CENTENARY CAMPAIGN BEGAN FEB. 1? Sunday, February 16, marked the opening of a remarkable campaign in the hitory of the church world. On that day the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, fired its tirst guns in an organised effort to enlist 2,000,000 church members in a great league of prayer and 1,000,000 church members as titling stewards of the denomination. The campaign for intercessors and tithing stewards, which will last four weeks, has been put on because the denomination has declared for a revivified church to meet the need of reconstruction times. The campaign is particularly remarkable in as much as it is a movement which will be felt in every city and town and rural district throughout the length and breadth of the Southern and Western States. It is recognized as a most important' part of the Centenary Campaign of the Church?the Campaign which celebrates 1919 as the anniversary of one hundred years of Methodist Missions?and pastors and minute men did, on Sunday, February 16th, endeavor to enlist the co-operation of all loyal church members in every one of the 18,000 churches of the denomination. During the one hundred years just closing the Methodists have grown from a denomination of a few thousand to more than six millions, and j from n rnntrihnHnn of I7nft in iVio first year of organization to a con- ( tribution of 57,000,000 a year. One j of the features of the Centenary will i be a financial campaign for 535,000,000 which will be held April 27 to ( May 4, and the successful outcome of < this campaign will mean that the < Southern Methodists alone will raise t a sum annually equal to that hereto- t fore raised by Methodists all over < the country. 1 i CALOMEL SALIVATES 1 AND MAKES YOU SICK j Acts lilt* dynamite on a sluggish liver and you lose a day's work There's no reason why a person ' should take sickening, salivating calomel when a few cents buys a large bottle of Dodson's Liver Tone?a|* perfect substitute for calomel. It is a pleasant, vegetable liquid 1 which will start your liver just as 1 surely as calomel, but it doesn't make you sick and can not salivate. Children and grown folks can take Dodson's Liver Tone, because it is 1 perfectly harmless. Calomel is a dangerous drug. It is mercury and attacks your bones. Take a dose of nasty calomel today and you will feel weak, sick and nauseated tomorrow. Don't lose a day's work. Take a spoonful of Dodson's Liver Tone instead and you will wake up feeling great. No more billiousness, constipation, sluggishness, headache, coated tongrue or sour stomach. Your druggist says if you don't find Dodson's Liver Tone act better than horrible calomel your money is waiting for you.

The dreams of poets, prophets and philosophers have at last come true. On Saturday, January 26th, in the beautiful crimson and gold conference room of the Quai d'Orsay at Paris the League of Nations was t>om. Except for the few representatives of the pross who squeezed themselves into the ante-room and could >nly get a partial view of the historic assemblage through the heavily curtained doors, no one was permitted to attend the plenary conference because the room in which it sits is so small. I have never seen such an array of world renowned ceebrities as were assembled together n that littel chamber. At the head of the table directly in front of the statue of Peace above the mantlepiece, sat the venerable and sushy headed Clemenceau, Premier >f the French Republic and President >f the Conference, the only delegate vho wore kid gloves during the pro:eedings. On his right was Presilent Wilson with the American delegation. On his left was Prqmie|r Lloyd George with the British deleration. These men, editor, professor and attorney, are the Big Three >f the Conference and weigh more in the balance when in agreement lhan all the other delegates combined. Clemenceau and Wilson were hon>red with golden thrones. The others >ccupied chairs of pink satin and ;bony arranged along the tables. Of L- M 212 * ? ? .ne laiiuimi mceg i neeu oniy mention three: Premier Venizelos, of Greece, Europe's foremost democrat; Field Marshal Foch, the savior of civlization, and Arthur Balfour, Engand's statesman philosopher. Field Marshal Foch and General Bliss, \merican Military representative of .he Supreme War Council, were the >nly delegates in military uniform, rhe two British envoys from India wore the native costume of picturesque flowing robes. President Wilson's opening address was a masterpiece of English and statesmanship. Though couched in the usual diplomatic urbanity it hit direct from the shoulder. His face was tense with earnestness as he spoke and I am sure there was not an American present who was not thrilled with pride in his country's spokesman. When finally after a graceful peroration Mr. Wilson sat down, there was a general murmur of approval in which some of the press so far forgot the etiquet of the occasion as to start applause. The President's speech was briefly seconded by Premier Lloyd George, of Great Britain and Premier Orlando, of Italy, both of whom spoke with more oratorical ardor than President Wilson. After other del-, egates had voiced approval,the motion ?? I H i e South I *e o I demon- 1 B now. I ANY I Columbia, ft. C. II sTc. I was put and unanimously adopted by I the representatives of the associated . nations. The resolutions adopted by the Conference read: It is essential to the maintenance of the world settlement which the associated nations are now met to establish that a League of Nations be created to promote international obligations and to provide safeguards against war. This league should be created as an integral part of of the general treaty of peace and should be open to every civilized nation which can be relied upon to promote its objects. "The members of the league should meet periodically in international conference and should have a permanent organization and secretaries to carry on the business of the league . in the intervals between the confer- , ences. ' i _ "The Conference therefore appoints a committee representative of the associated governments to work out the details of the constitution and the function of the league." T There can now be no doubt whatever about it, the Peace Conference = itself is the germ from which a real United Nations will eventually develop. Last evening found the people ofFrance, England, and Italy enthusiastic for a league of nations, but the officials were pathetically acquiescent. To-day we find all classes united heart and soul for such a league. From all I can learn, and I have had exceptional opportunities lur consulting those of highest au- I thority, I am prepared to say that we | shall get some kind of court to settle all justiciable disputes and a council of consultation to investigate and make recommendations regarding non-justiciable questions. We can also rest assured that the powers are prepared to apply the necessary sanctions by means of moral, economic and military pressure to prevent any nation from breaking the peace of the world without first submitting the cas to the international court or tribunal. Limitation of armament in L some form also seems to be a fore-| = gone conclusion. I understand that one of the great powers is ready to I propose the creation of an interna-11 tional legislature for the development I of international law and the better-1 ment of human relations. I have I cause to belicve that this most ad-1 mirable plan will be well received. I It will be a pity if there were oppo-1 sition, for such an international legislature or conference is the best way ! to secure co-operative international I developmenet. There is, however, a very real danger that the power of the League of I Nations will be lodged in a small I group of men mostly from the five 1 great nations and responsible only I to presidents and premiers. This will I of course make the League of Na-1 tions a league of governments rather than a league of peoples. But all I Europe is now in a state of ferment and the people, especially the returning soldiers, are in no mood for halfway measures. The delegates at the Peace Conference well know that unless they satisfy the just demands of mankind the only alternative is Bol-1 shevism. They will surely give us a I League to Enforce Peace and if suf-1 ficient pressure is put upon them they I may give us a League to Insure Progress. I TO BRING HOME OUR SOLDIER DEAD Washington, Feb. 9.?Plans for I bringing home the bodies of all offi- | cers, sailors and marines now buried I on foreign soil are being worked out I by the navy department and the ac-1 tual work will be undertaken within the next few months. The wishes of relatives, however, will govern not I only as to the return of the bodies, but also as to their final disposition. Those brought home either will be sent forward for private interment or buried in the Arlington or some other national cemetery as the relatives may decide.
