EPWORTH LEAGUE PLEDGE S:

The meeting of the national board of
controal of the Epworth league developed
some unpleasant feeling. The most i'm
portant matter was the report of the
committee on constitution. They pro-
posed several changes. One of these
was an amendment to article 8, making
two classes of members of the Epworth
league, active and honorary. Active
members must be members of the
Methodist Episcopal church or some
other Evangelical church, and sub
scribers to the constitution of the league
and take the pledge. Only active mem
bers can be elected officers. The pledge,
the committee suggested, should be
amended so as to include the promise to
abstain from worldly pleasure, not per-
mitted by the church, and to do all in
their power to spread the teachings of
the church.
Then came in debate. Bishop Hurl-
bert said not one-third of the leaguers in
the country had a pledge and if the
pledge which now keeps out many
members was made stronger it would
break up the league. The amendment
was voted down. The memorial to the
general conference of the Methodist
church, requesting that body to adopt
the Epworth league and make it a
branch of the church, was adopted.
