The Southern Methodist Church.

: We noticed yesterday the meeting
of the General Conference at New
Orleans. In connection with this
meeting, the first which has been
held at the South for eight years, we
notice the unfairness of some of the
so-called religious papers of the North,
in insinuating, if not stating in direct
terms, that, since the close of the
war, overtures had been made by the
Northern Methodist Church to that
of the South, for reunion of the
churches of the two sections. The fact
noticed above, that there has been no
General Conference of the Methodist
Church South for the past eight
years, stamps such n statement as
false.
But we see from the New York
Watchman, of last week, that a paper
called the Methodist is published in
that city, which, if it represents the
Northern church, is sufficient to keep
open the breach between the churches,
For instance, it says s'the church,
South, was organized for the preserv-
alton of slavery" The writer either
knew that to be untrue, or else he has
too little information to be teacher
of the people. He must have pre-
s,1med upon the ignorance of his
readers. But there ore intelligent
men in the Northern church who
have copies of the Southern Disci-
pline, and when they examine that,
they can have no further confidence
in the statements of that paper.
Again, this article, speaking of the
Southern church, says: 'tIts bishops
and pastors illustrated their devotion
to the Constitution by buying men,
women and children, with the inten-
tion to enslave them!" Now, this is
known throughout the South as being
absolutely untrue in form and es-
sence. How can Christian man
thus misrepresent n whole church?
How can the world expect even kind
ness to be felt by a church so hugely
and mercilessly misrepresented?
We would be glad to chronicle the
reunion of the two divided branches
of this influential denomination, for
we believe it would contribute largely
to the rivetting of the bonds of union,
politically, between the two sections
a conclusion which all good men
now devoutly pray for
The daily phoenix. [volume] (Columbia, S.C.) 1865-1878, 1866-04-05

MEssRs. EDITORS: While we con-
slider it unfortunate for the secular
press to introduce any denominations
al matter that, by possibility, might
have tendency to provoke religious
controversy; still, as misleading is-
sue has been made in your paper in
regard to ''the Methodists," one by
that name must claim, through the
same medium, the privilege of COR
recting doubtless an unintentional
error, in the statement under that
caption. And first, in respect to
publishing "the Episcopal service in
connection with the discipline, &c. :"
even suppose that done and brought
into use, it is only what has always
been in use by most of the Methodist
churches in England-where they are
as distinct from the Church of Eng
land as they ever were. And here, at
this date, so far from being speedily
united as one church, the prospect of
it is farther off than ever-the Pro-
testant Episcopal Church having re-
united with the Northern Church,
which the Methodist Episcopal
Church still persistently refuses to
do.
In regard to Wesley's advice of ga
happy reunion" the Methodists, us
q Church, neither in England nor in
this country, have so interpreted his
words and acts.
