THE ROAD TO FAME.
lie longed to find the road to Fame
But not a highway bore that name
He thought to glory there must be
A level path that he should see;
But every road to which he came
Possessed a terrifying name.
He never thought that Fame might
lurk
Along the dreary path called Work.,
He never thought to go and see
What marked the road called Industry.
Because it seemed so rough and high,
He passed road to Service by.
Vet had he taken either way,
Hi might have come to Fame some
day.

THE COVINGTON COVINGTON, GEORGIA
J».T. » »»■
MU*, FOWLER'S ADDRESS ¥Q
MISSIONARY CONFERENCE.
The assembly of this annual session
affords an opportinuty for reviving the
past, and looking forward with hope¬
fulness of prophetic vision into the
future; for summing the results of past
labors, and for estimating the force we
may put into operation for coming
achievements.
In the language of the day, the M.
E. church, South is “up against it
for trained Christian workers. A des¬
perate situation prevails in the pulpits.
We could use 1048 preachers in sup¬
plying charges, without displacing one
member of any annual conference.
The hoard of missions needs 1000
missionaries to carry out the centen¬
ary program—and scarcely ten per
cent, of that number have been dis¬
covered.
The Home Department is searching
for hundreds of workers among the
mountaineers, miners, emigrants, In¬
dians, etc. Perhaps a dozen of these
have been found in the last year.
Woman’s Missionary Council
The Woman’s Missionary Council is
scouring the country for trained young
women to serve the church at home
and abroad as missionaries.
. Who will tell the Old, Old Story?
The world does not yet know the story
of the Cross. It must be told and
retold again and again in all the earth.
For this story is the basis of hope,
and salvation for all nations. But who
will tel! it? Where shall workers be
found?—Answer, They will come from
Christian colleges,,, or not at all. The
church schools furnish 90 per cent of
the trained laborers for the harvest.
Secular colleges do not supply them.
Our own colleges gave 236 out of 288
missionaries. Only 20 came from state
and independent schools. In five years
one Christian college sent out nearly
as many missionaries as all the state
universities combined. One great
state school with 1000 Methodist stu¬
dents, 3000 students of other evangeli¬
cal churches and 8000 Alumni turned
out less than 20 Christian workers in
50 years. If the Christian forces are
to meet the situation in any adequate
way there must be a great army of
trained workers to meet the task.
This is not only true in the M. E.
church, south. There is not a Chris¬
tian organization on earth which has
a sufficient supply of workers. So we
Methodists of Dixie Land are not alone
in our distress at the dearth of workers
Shall we go out of business of the
Kingdom of God? Has the God of
Israel,—who neither sleeps nor slum
bers retired from his throne? Is
the earth and the fulness thereof, and
the people that dwell therein no lon¬
ger His? Have we forgotten His
words’’ Fear Not Little Flock
for it is your Fathers good pleasure
to give you the Kingdom.”
Relatively the U. 8.. also is in the
strongest financial position among the
nations. It has more wealth than any
other three nations. Our income is
even greater, proportionately than our
income. It its two and a half times
that of Great Brittian—including all
her possessions.
The financial objective is easily
within the financial resources of our
church. The church’s wealth was
scarcely touched by the Centenary.
The average gift was $40; $8.00 per
year, for 5 years or fifteen cents a
week!
People of means made only small
subscriptions. Witness the luxuries
with which our wage earner^ and
salared people indulge themselves.
They need this campaign to save
them from greed and avarice.
God gems thy path with opportunity,
Thick as the summer dew drops of the
grass.
But manna like it must be gathered
ere the sun be risen.
And used upon the militant else they
breed within the heart a never
dying brood of worms armed
with the stings of vain regret.
Look abroad. The precious fields are
unto harvest w'hite.
And there is lack of reapers every
where.
Thrust in thy sickle ere the noon be
past,
Then follow after gleaning; and per¬
chance
When home thou contest, not with
empty hands,
It may be thine like Aloab Ruth, to
sit at evening by the Masters
feet and find sweet favor in
His sight.
