President Discusses Their Future With Bishop Hartzell. Bishop J. C. Hartzell of Africa addressed the Methodist Preachers' association at Cincinnati the other day, says the Philadelphia Press. Bishop Hartzell, who came from a conference with President Roosevelt, said: "Mr. Roosevelt expressed to me the hope that American Methodists would establish missions among the dutch of South Africa. The Dutch need unity of spirit language, he said, and American missionaries can do as much toward their attainment of unity as any influence I know of. "We are systematizing our work by placing headquarters in four or five centers. We are not going into debt except to save property. We need now three missionaries for Africa, one of whom is to be a first class music teacher. "The number of white people in Africa is growing marvelously, and we shall soon have a race problem beside which that in America will be as nothing."
