THE BASIS OF REuSIoN-oMGIS or THE sEPA-
RATION.

THE BASIS or REUNION-ORGIN or THE sEpA-
RATION.
The questions Of Inference between the two
branches OF the Methods Episcopal Church, which
have been adjusted by the commission whose address on
the subject published yesterday, had their origin
mainly in the slavery discussion that preceded the war;
The question had agitaed the church for long time
when several general conferences OF the church
demned owning of slaves which eliminated ia 1914
by the passage OF resolution in General Conference by
a vote OF III Yeas to 60 Nays, which declared that
Bishop James o. Anderson cease the eNci se or the
duties office long lac remained Il. yeho!der
Many attempts reconcile the i!-feclings which this
action made, and delegates from 10
annual conferences presented declaration that the
passage OF this resolution must produce state Of things
In the South which renders continuance OF the ursd O.
ton OF the General Conference over these conferences IL
consistent with the Of the ministry In the slave
holding States" The subject was rcierredt0 commit
tee OF nine who reported plan OF agreement which
made provision for separation in case the necessity for
should arise by laying out boundary lines ana making
an equitable adjustment OF property.
On the day following the adjournment OF the confer
ence the Southern delegates published call for con-
yenton Of the slayeholdng churches to meet In Louis
Vile Ky on May /, 1916. That convention affirmed
that the conferences there represented were district
convention under the OF The Methodist Episcopal
Church South" II also provided for first general con-
ference which met at Petersburg, Virginia In May OF
the following year. BY decision OF the Supreme Court
Of the United States the property was divided In accord
ance with the provisions Of the plan From that time
until the present the branches OF the church have
remained distinct AZ the slavery controversy
progressed, the breach between them widened
and eliminated at last Ia the war hself'
which divided Northern and Southern Institutions Of
every kind The church South was severely crippled by
the war; but has revived materially since then and In
1874 1t had 3,134 travelling preachers with G63,lO6
members and 37O,lO3 sunday-school teachers and
scholars For several years past efforts have been made

you encourage young men to Learn

The French language is an import

hearing. 1t will be the most important
day, perhaps, Of the G~ube-natorisl
canvass, and VIC hope that our people
will turn out en- masse. We want the
colored people to turn out, and we
want the white people to show that re,
gard for the colored speaker which
they have ever shown to the negro
when he WAS in need. The fact ie, the
colored people are now, we do believe,
awakening to the fact that the Repub-
licans treat him kindly and shake his
hand, and call him brother just before
election day, and desire his vote and
influence, but never, oh! asyer do they
propose that he shall have an office.
Hence it is that they ars angry because
Yardley is q candidate. They would
prefer that some renegade C~onfederates
should have the Offices, and they des-
pise the traitors while they court the
treason. But, come out next Friday.
