GENERAL I

GENERAL CONFERENCE NJ. F. CHURCH
NORTH
The General Conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church (North) will
meet in Ne: York on May 1st. 1t prom
i>es TO be most impoTtant meeting.
BeEides the election of bishops and gen
eral officers # the chur h, some import
ant church legislation will be proposed
involving radical changes in the church
government Perhaps the most striking
change proposed is the abolition of the
tine iinIt. OF three years, from its past
crate. The itinersnt ministry ef this
church has been tower of strength in
the past, but strong men think they see
in the changed condition of the country
a demand for new sN stem. Two other
changes proposed are, abolition of the
probationary period for church member
ship aud the admission of lay representa-
tives in the animal conferences During
the session of the conference exciting
ard int resting debates are likely to
spring up on tie colo question, temper
. ance reform, the ecclesiastical status Of
women. Bishop T"ylnr's work in Africa,
Q expectancy of foreign bishops and
yer questions that will come up. On
HwnO!e it may be the most striking
betting in church history.

a Hospital Incident.
From the CHICAGO Journal.

From the Chicago Journal.
1t is perhaps little late in the day to recall
war incidents, yet somewhat remarkable one
was brought to my mind day or two ago by a
meeting with Wallace Hume, the well known
theatrical architect Mr. Hume was member
OF the Cincinnati regiment commanded by w
II. Lytle, the soldier poet who lost his life
early in the struggle while bravely facing the
enemy. He was grevously wounded, and with
others of his companions, as we'll as many con
federates, was ta~en TO the hospital at Spring
field Ky. Here he lay suffering acutely. One
morning the familiar words of his commanders
well known poem, Anthony and Cleopatra"
came to mis- mind, and almost unconsciously he
repeated aloud the first line: Il am dying
Egypt, DYING A confederate soldier lying on
the next cot took up the sentence and followed
with the next: "Ebbs the crimson hfe-tide
fast" Hume continued, and alternately each
line of the magnificent poem the twain com
pieted before a word was exchanged Then
they fell into conversation and discovered many
similantes Of taste. Ere they had recovered a
strong friendship had been formed When
health had been restored they separated. and
did not meet again until some years after the
close of the war, when the acquaintance so re-
marKably started in military hospital was re-
newed in Chicago. The twain have been warm
friends ever since, and often have pleasant
chat over their army and hospital experiences
