Alexandria in the Congressional Globe in
1866 or,'G7. All the leading republicans of
the city had signed it, including the late
John Hawxhurst. But, unfortunately for the
prevailing fashion Of autographs scrawls,
that gentlcman's signature was printed

OF the five distinct Methodist bodies

one, to be known as the Methodist
Church of Canada. The Fifth, he Brit
ish Methodist Episcopal, is a eolored
organization, soon to be formally unit
ed with the African Methodist Episco-
pal Church Of the United States. The
union is the result of the warm fellow
ship engendered by the Ecumenical
Methodist Conference held in London
in 1881. The difficulties were not of
doctrine OF general usage, but Of policy
and property. Three bodies were non
Episcopal, and the one Episcopal body
must make a sacrifice. Lay representa-

each ratified the basis Of union which
