The following is an extract from the
Address of the Bishops of the Metho-
dist Episcopal Church to the General
Conference
The progress of the Federal arms has
thrown open the loyal churches of the
Union large and inviting fields of
Christian enterprise and labor In
the cultivation of these fields it is
natural and reasonable to expect that
the. Methodist Episcopal. Church should
occupy a prominent position. She oc-
cupied these fields once. Her net
work of Conference districts and pas
toral Charges spread over them all
all, indeed, both within and beyond
the Federal lines For nineteen years
they have been in the occupancy of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South, to
the wrongful exclusion of ssthe Metho-
dist Episcopal Church But her days
of exclusive occupancy are ended
The wall of partition Is broken down
by that very power whose dreadful
ministry was invoked to strengthen it.
And now, the way being open for the
return of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, it is but natural that She
should re- enter those fields and once
more realize her unchanged title as the
Methodist Episcopal Church of the
United States of America. She ought
never to have been excluded from any
portion of the territory Of the United
States-she ought never to have con-
scented, on any ground, to such ex-
clusion. And now, that the providence
of God has opened her way, she should
not be disobedient to her heavenly
calling, but should return at the ear
Hest practicable period
But how? This is the great question.
And while we defer for the full answer
to the wisdom of the General Confer
ence, we feel that we ought to say that
she should enter those fields as she en-
tiers all fields-she should enter preach
ing Christ and him crucifed, to all
classes of people, laboring with all her
might to bring sinners to repentance,
and to build up believers in that holi-
ness without which no man can see the
Lord, and welcoming back such minis
tiers as were cut off from her commun-
ion without their voluntary act. Yet,
it is our solemn judgment that none
should be admitted to her fellowship
who are either Shareholders or are faint
ed with treason.
