PHILADELPHIA, April IL, 1919,
IN REVOLT,
10 less than iourMethodist churches
n this city, have rcvolicd against the
lctlon of ihcA Annual Conference, re-
'ently held At Norrisiown, in appoint.
ny pastors for their churches that
we're not asked for by them. Ono Of
hcsc churches has closed its doors
against the clergyman sent there, and
ill have formally protested against the
action Of the Conference. | regard I
IhisIaction as q very decided notice on
the part of these congregations that
they propose reforming that feature OF
Methodistism which changes the pas-
tor every two or three years. There
ARE number Of Methodist congrcga-
tions in Philadelphia, that, if they can
not have assigned to them the clergy
man Of their choice, will ''stcp down
and OUT from the organization. Pcr-
haps the first to formally take such u
step will be the Grand Marble Metho-
dist Church, at Broad and Arch, whore
seats fetched Sl,000a choice; Grace
Church, at Broad and Master in course
of construction, will doubtless be the
second nnd aeveral others will follow
in rapid succession.
The revolt in the Protestant lipisco-
pal Church goes steadily on; four
church organizations have already
taken place, and on Monday night
next, the Fifth Reformed Episcopal
Church, of this city, will be organized,
with Rev. Charles III. Tucker Of
Emanuel Episcopal Church OF Chicago,
as pastor, and back Of him IL fair
congregation of earnest men and
women, determined TO separate the
Episcopal Church Of America as tar MS
possible from the Roman Catholic form
of worsbip.
| understand thnl at the General
Council TO be held in Nav next at
Chicago. mn cflor will be made TO
change the na,ne from the Reformed
to the American Episcopal Church, and
another effort will also be made TO do
away with The pastoral gown In the
church service
