any idea of the feeling-a compound Of
awe and affection, curiosity and rever-
ence-with which 1 looked on that re-
markable body of men.
A boy reared in the church and accus-
toned from infancy to look on John and
Charles Wesley as inferior only to st.
Paul and st. John, and to regard Bishop
Simpson as the model of piety, patriot
ism and eloquence, does not outgrow his
impressions in the first seven years of
manhood. 1t so happened that my eli
trance on the rights of manhood was
contemporary with the beginning of the
civil war, and SO the events of the next
few years had raised my feelings to-
ward Bishop Simpson to degree near
akin to personal idolatry. Even now
smile and blush alternately when re-
member how walked many miles to
Evansville to hear him lecture, and yet
feel bound to assert that in the sub
sequent twenty-seven years / have not
made any investment In the lecture line
that paid me better.
Twenty years after my first view of
one it was my privilege to listen to the
proceedings of another Methodist quad
rennial conference, in New York city
this time; and now it is the deliberate
Judgment of the man that the enthusi-
asm of the boy of 1866 was not over
strained, for verify there were moral
giants in the west in those days. l have
heard many great orators, but have
yet TO hear the man who could stir the
hearts of the common people more than
old Richard Hargrave. l have listened
to logical and scholarly expositions of
the Gospel, but for plain and practical
setting forth of the whole duty of man I
have heard none to exceed that of Elder
Aaron Wood, of the Northwest Indiana
conference. The active service of the IA
nous Peter Cartwright and j. B. Finley
was over, but the flavor of their good
works still fingered among US, and the
announcement that either of them
would be present, health and strength
permitting, at a future meeting was
sufficient to rouse q fierce enthusiasm
among our elders.
To one who had been all that time
out of the current it seemed an odd and
slightly amusing fact that while in
1868 lay representation was the great
issue, in 1858 woman representation led
al other topics; albeit, the former was
1nuch farther advanced in 1868 than the
latter in 1888, or in 1892 for that mat
ter. And while 1 listened to the schol-
arly and conservative remarks of DIR.
j. NJ. Buckley / saw that this contrast
was fair index of the progress of the
United States in the last thirty years.

universally regarded as privileges; in
1888 as a right. Then the advocate had
TO show cause; now the burden of proof
is on the opposition. Nevertheless the
church, at n greater interval, has fol-
lowed exactly the same line as the body
polite. Delegates rights have been rap
idly extended till all adult males are eGgi-
BILE, and there, SO far as the Impractical
layman's eye can see, it has stopped for
very long time, if not forever. 1t

dists have their proper place for him,
but TO the boys of Indiana, forty years
ago, he is still the loved president of As
bury Ode Pauw) university, and to the
soldiers he is still the friend and sup
porter of Abraham Lincoln. Peter Cart
wright was already so much a veteran
In 1860 that it was accounted q privilege
to see and hear him, yet he lived till 1872,
dying at eighty-seven. Of the elders
aud revivalists who made western camp
meetings lively in 1850 and Whereabouts
there was not one.
To the western man of the early DAYS,
however, there was suggestion of the
humorous in seeing in the list of dele
gates such names as Will Cumback,
Amos Shinkle, John w. Ray, j. &. Rid
path and Newland De PAW Their
presence, however, was a living proof
that since 1868 lay representation had
become very much accomplished fact.
And it was calculated to raise a smile in
the same observer to hear on the very
first day notice Of protest read against
the admission as delegates of Amanda
g. Rippey of Kansas, Mary G. Mind of
1u1uuCSOU6t, AuSlS NSNA4dn VI NE
braska, Lizzie D. Van Kirk of Pennsyl-
vania and Frances E. Willard of Illinois.
The woman question was up at the very
start, and it remained the big issue
through most of the conference.
Bishop Simpson, who made the clos
ing address in 1884; Bishop Wiley, who
offered the closing prayer, and Bishop
Harris, who read the closing hymn, had
passed away; but Bishop Thomas Bow
man, in the fiftieth year of his work as
a minister and sixteen years bishop,
called the conference to order. When
the reports were read, the observer was
again reminded of the fallibility Of the
prophets of twenty years before. For
some time after the close of the war pre-
dictions were abundant that general
Generalization would ensue, and for
some reason never could make out it
was taken for granted that the Metho-
dist church would suffer most. In truth
the denomination had never passed two
more prosperous decades. And as the
conference of 1892 is soon to give US the
latest figures, it only remains for this
observer to add that, so far as the lay
mans eye can see, Methodism is now In
the full vigor of youth, going forward
in its work with all the advantages of
experience and improved organization
and with no loss of enthusiasm.

needs but glance to see that in the
civil organization the widening of the
suffrage reached its maximum in 1870,
and that since that time more men have
been disfranchised on one pretext or an
other than have been enfranchised, and
it is not easy to prove that the reaction
has not had some effect in the church.
At the time l wondered why the
Quadrennial conference Of 1868 did not
attract more attention, but | think
understand it now. Never since Sum-
ter was fired on had there been a time
of such intense excitement, particularly
in the west, as the first three weeks of
May, 1868. First there was the i'm
parchment trial of President John
son, which shook the very founda-
tons of society. Churches were di-
vided, old friendships were sundered,
business partnerships were broken, and
IN some sections there were defiant
threats Of civil war. Such old and tried
and true Unionists as Fessenden of
Maine, Trumbull of Illinois and
Grimes Of Iowa were denounced as
three shades blacker than Benedict
Arnold and little meaner than Judas,
while the comparatively obscure Ross
0f Kansas was openly threatened with
violence, and advised to follow the ex-
ample Of his predecessor and nut pistol
