enoe will be held ten years hence, in 1901
The address issued to the church BY the
Council is oaar, concise and conservative
paper. II begins by reminding the church
that it has grown, In little more than cen.
fury, from hsndful of Protestante to
body numbering at least twenty Ave millions
of sdherents. The substantial unity of the
different bIaocf e. of Methodlsts is comment
ed on. and the suggestion made that tbs

portions OF the larger cities OF the world,

that by reason of their hard lot they are not
easy to reach, as they naturally argue that
God has done very little for them
For the chris!iaoizing Of these, spe-
cia Efforts should be made. The
members are urged on this account to
make free use OF their political rlghts-uot
that they should encourage the growth Of
political parties, or should ally themselves
with particular organization; but each

conscientious conception of citizenship as

Attention is given to the children Ia the

possibilities Of the Sunday school are reooe-
