J Cram, setting forth Method-
ism’s great program of minis-
try to the body, mind and spirit
of men at home and abroad.
This book has been a revela-
tion to us. We did not know
Methodism was such a great in-
stitution. Her achievements
of the past are thrilling and
her plans and purposes for the
future are thorough, compre-
hensive and far reaching. We
are glad to be members of a
church that honors God and
spends so much time and mon-
ey in serving men.
In order to know Methodism
and the work of the church
every Methodist ought to read
and study this book. The
study of this book will make
any member of the church a
better member. The church
-’Hon to this needs more loyal and intelli-
gent members.
