MINISTER,
At conference of the preachers of the NJ. +,
Church IN New York. Monday, Rev W 2, Corbit
discussed the gruuud- upni which sicthoaists
are expecting revival, this winter. la the
couise OF Ills remarks, he said the Methodist
church was in deplorsbe condition. The
chlof causes were a iaxity OF discipline and the
want OF praying bands. speedy remedy for
this stale OF things WAS needed No
new hSencies were wanted. The Metho-
dist Episcopal church, worked by its
own machinery, would take the world, il il were
allowed to work, 1t is the pioneer church in
this country. The remedy il in union of effort
and activity. Preachers had been preaching
their heads of nearly, and yet were eirectns
nothing. There y dsintegrstion and self
ishIess about the Church. Each one Of
the church organizations thought of It,
cell ouly. There was jealousy among
the preachers and lay brethren that
ought not to exist The only remedy il
union. There must be coming together and
return OF the old circuit system. Let the preach-
ere and people gather together as Moody and
Sapkey have got them together. He did not de-
PROBATE Moody and Sankey, but they had many
men in their own body who were Just az gifted
AZ they, or more SO. 1t was not Moody and it
was not Sankey, but the power which they pos
sess of bringing good people together to work
for God.
