THE GREAT METHODIST COUNCIL.

SERMON BY BISHOP sINpsoN--A LARGE AssEMBLAGE
-PREsILENTS CHOSEN.
LONDON, Sept. There was large attendance
of American and colored delegates at the opening
services OF the Wesleyan Conference to-day. The
congregation included many ladies. Bishop Simp-
who delivered the opening sermon took his text
from John vi, g. =" Ii is the spirit that quick
eneth; the flesh protiteth nothing; the words that
speak unto You, they are spirit and they life"
The sermon was in support of the doctrine of the
Divine creation OF the heavens and earth which the
preacher argued, could not be disproved by any of
the so-caled teachings of science. The success Of
Methodism, he said, could only be accounted for by
the fact that il is instinct with the Divine spirit of
life. The successive assemhlagcs of great Protes-
tant bodies during late years foresbadowed that
there wonld at no distant day, be an ecumenical
Conference of Evangelical Christians of every de-
nomination. The congregation received the sacra-
ment. The proceedings were adjourned until 2:3O
p. m.
On the reasscmbling of the Council the proceed
ings were begun with prayer, special reference be-
ing made to the recovery of President Garfield. A
resolution of the Business Commi tse desiring tho
prayers of the delegates for Mr.. Garfield was re-
ceived with great cn husiasm
DR.. Osborn, in his address of welcome said the
success of the Council was already assered The
Methodist Church, which Is catholic in the widest
sense Oh the word, hal already gained the victory
but he trusted much more would be done.
Bishop Mcryc re, responding to the address of
welcome, said thai American and English Metho-
lug.
DR.. Douglass, who also responded to the address,
SAID the United MethodlstS OF Clnada thoroughly
concurred in the doctrines of Wesley
Before the Conference adjourned the resolution of
the Business Committee IN regard to President Gar
ueld was passed.
The Council has decided to devote each night TO
services 10 lay before the people the of Metho-
dism IN various countries. Thus, night will be
devoted To America, and a night TO Aus
traila, some OF the best speakers from
the countries naned addressing the meetings on
these occasions. The presidents for the first four
Gays ol the ouncll have been ected. They are as

\ COMMUNICATION in the n. 7. Tribune
Of last week from a regular correspondent
on the subject of education in the south,
is somewhat startling for the statements
made. The degree of interest taken in
educational affairs in the south is ccn-
pared with that of the north very much
to the disadvantage Of the latter. There
is Z vigor, an earnestness and n degree
Of enthusiasm in the south over ciuca-
ton, which the writer attributes to the
uewness of the ideas. This enthusiasm
is contrasted with the languor of the
north due to the long establishment Of
educational institutions and their nc
knowledged superiority.
While many people may object to hav-
ing the state of feeling in northern states
respecting education, denominated ''lan-
guild, still no one can successfully deny
that there Is a spirit Of incidence creep
ing oyar educational institutions. They
are becoming machines. This is more
true Of the eastern and middle states than
of those Of the west which have yet some
of the Tigor of youth. But it is notice
able fact that graduates of educational
institutions at the time they had the
viriiity Of youth though the curriculum
was much less comprehensive than now,
have given evidence OF intellectual train
ing far superior to that received nova
days.
