WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Tomorrow the
ecumenical council of Methodists will
begin its sessions in this city. Once be-
fore in the history of the church, have
the branches sprung off from the parent
stalk, come together. and, laying aside
all differences, listened to the suggestions
of the best men OF all divisions, and
sought to find means to promote the
common good. That was in London ten
years ago, and SO abundant was the en-
suing harvest of good works, that it was
resolved to reassemble for conference at
the expiration of every decade. The
council which convenes tomorrow, will
have 800 delegates, representing all the
denominations and branches of the
Methodist church, in all parts of the
world. The council, like its predecessor,
will be confined to discussions; from its
nature, there can be no legislation.
