Bishop Fitzgerald-That's one of the
pest hints given to-day. II think the
Methodist church is the most liberal of
any-any good man who is seeking
God, is admitted TO its communion.
Laymen have no sympathy with theo-
and may differ from Father McGolrick
and Bishop Ireland, OF the catholic
church, but don't we glorify
in them and their deeds. l
do not believe God recognizes
lists and iSms, but looks at us all as one
In Christ Jesus. Business men do not
take any stock in denominations. 1t
may surprise some. perhaps, to know
that Methodist business man won't
trust another Methodist any quicker
than he will Baptist or Catholic, and
a Methodist is just as apt to try to get
out Of paying his bills as any other de-
nomination"
Concerning foreign missions Mr..
Wyman made several sharp hits at
foreign missions. "YOu send a mis-
sionary abroad" he said; ''he begins to
draw salary the moment he leaves New
York. He goes where he can hire serv-
ants cheaply. and lives COM
tOrtably. He returns home a
hero, and you ministers 60 wild
over him, and he is great
man. While he has done good, his sacri-
fee has not been much in comparison
with that of some of you. who have
come out here with your wives as only
helpmates. and who have lived on little
or nothing. But who calls this home
missionary hero? He will never get
his recognition until God gives it to him
when his life is over. Magnify home
missions; build up churches on the out
skirts of the cities. and on the frontiers"
The speakers next shot that told was
the query. why don't you let the
official boards run your church,"
Cant get the laymen to do it,"
s'They won't do it,
"They DON'T" These were the
answers that came from ministers in diff
ferent parts of the church. Continuing,
Mr.. Wyman advised against land
prayers and sermons, and urged the
ministers to invite criticism; not to
preach to the poor or the rich, the
learned OF ignOrant-cOarse expressions
and levity should be eliminated.
Mr.. Wyman's remarks were decidedly
piQuant, and crisp sayings followed in
the debate. The ministers were in
clined to get back in defense at Mr..
Wyman's remarks. Rev. Levi Gleason
said it was the minister using slang who
got the largest following from the
laymen. Rev. Levi Gilbert of
WinOna, said some laymen who
will sit for two hours on
picket fence to watch base ball
game, will get tired listening to a ser
mon fOrty-five minutes late. Judge
KrieS, of Monticello, told of one preach
er who took fcrty-five minutes for his
introduction, and preached from 8
o'clock to midnight. David Tice. an
ex-minister, took exceptions to r.Wy-
mans objections to One-bOOk men. and
wanted only the word of God preached.
THE BALANCE OF THE AFTERNOON
was devoted to the Women's Foreign
missions. Mrs. Mary c. Mind presided,
with Mrs. N. H. Winchell. Mrs. A. P.
Reynolds read paper detailing the
growth of the efforts that have been
Genevive Tucker. of Mortified, read an
interesting paper upon ''Our Medical
Missionaries, detailing what had been
done by female physicians in India.
One feature of the afternoon was the
introduction of resolutions protesting
against the running of Sunday trains.
the publication of Sunday papers, and
the attending of camp meetings on
Sunday when the gates were left open
so as to permit of Sunday desecratiOn.
The resolutions were virtually All in
dorsement of the recent action of the
Methodist Minister'S association of
Minneapolis. A resolution was also
offered condemning the legislature for
failure to enact laws to further the
temperance cause, and characterizing
