WESLEY FOUNDATION—DR.
PERKY HOME FROM EAST
The national board of education of the Methodist Episcopal church, at the annual meeting, held in New York City last week, endorsed the plan of the local church for the organization of a Wesley Foundation in connection with the University of Idaho, which will result, within the year, in the placing of a student pastor here for work among the students, and supervision of rural work, which has been started by the Moscow church, according to Dr. H. O. Perry, pastor of the Moscow Methodist church, and members of the national board of education, who arrived at home Friday from the meeting.
The national board of education of the Methodist Episcopal church is composed of 35 men, from different sections of the nation, including one minister and one layman from each district. Dr. Perry is the minister representing the northwest district, and E. L. Blaine of Seattle the layman. The board is making extensive plans for the education in tax-supported institutions, the establishment of the Wesley Foundation here being in line with that work. The national organization raised $8,000,000 during the past year for college endowment, the educational work of the church going ahead by leaps and bounds.
