Almost the entire afternoon session was
devoted to the preparation of the constitu-
tion of the union and of revising the lengthy
memorial that is to be presented to Bishops
and members of the General Conference of
the NJ. E. Church, to meet in Omaha, Neb. {,
MAY 1, 1892
The different articles of the constitution
were thoroughly discussed. One bearing on
who shall be delegates from the various
societies to the annual conference of the
union provoked discussion as to the mean
ing of the word '1aymen" and whether
women could be elected. Alexander
Ashley, of Chicago, maintained the
women should not be accorded
this privilege until the General
Assembly determines whether women can
come under the meaning of 'lsymen." 1t
was decided to allow the question to re-
main over until the highest authority has
settled the point.

The Question of Control
e next issue brought out was /

The next issue brought out was BY Mr.
Ashley, who questioned as to who should
control the organization, the laity or the
ministers. He said: 81 believe this to be
an organization inspired by the laity and
that We should control il.
Rev. DR.. Peirson, of New York, met this
with the remark that the ministry had not
proposed to control the union, but to work
in union with the laity in one great and
good purpose and to one end. This ap-
peased Mr.. Ashley's feeling and the work
of revision proceeded.
Next discussion of an hour arose over a
change in section of the memorial In
stating the object of the organization
appeared the phrase: "To assist weak
churches, to build them up and to build
new churches and to work among the de-
graded and wretched." The thlee words,
degraded and wretched," provoked the
discussion. A number of clergymen thought
the words would give offense to many poor
people in whom the union would interest
itself, and that many of these persons would
admit that although they may be wretched,
yet they are not degraded.

day. She is very old, and has no means Of
support. She went to live with her son in
Kansas City, but his wife abused her and
she left. She was robbed of 500, and in
some way got off the train at Duquesne. A
Mrs. Hughes took her home and kept her
for three weeks. The old lady has five
children, and she has great horror of go
ing to the poorhouse.

A Difference of Opinion.

An equal number of the delegates con-
tended that the words should stand.
Rev. George Cummings, of Philadelphia,
was among the former In a warm speech
he said:
''We want to 20 down to all classes,
down in the lowest walks of life and touch
the basement of life. Yes, and we want to
go to the marble and granite mansions of
the rich. Go to the marble hall Among
the poor we will be welcome, but they are
not all degraded. Look to the wealth of
the city and see if there is not refined
wickness there. We must reach the silver
dome as well as the wretched. Change the
words degraded and wretched' to all who
need it -
Rev. DR.. M. d. c. Crawford, of New
York, defended the words, stating that vice
in the poor and in the rich needed no dis
tinction nor pallistion of sentiment; a
change of words would not change it.
Rev. G. r. Mains, of Brooklyn, said that
the words ''religiously destitute" should be
inserted.
7. c. Clendening, of Omaha, said: sWe
are charged that the Methodists have for
saken the poor, the wretched, the degraded;
that we confne ourselves to palaces Such
is untrue; we have always been the friends
to the poor and the wretched. Let the
words stand"
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-03-17
A Change for Sentiments Sake.

The discussion ended by the change and
the insertion of Dr. Mains suggestion, "re-
ligiously destitute" The name of the or
ganiZation was also changed from "City
Evangelistic Union" to "Union for City
Evangelization.
After several other unimportant revisions
the constitution and memorial were ap-
proved and adopted as the basis to be pre-
sented to the General Conference at Omaha
for sanction and approval The Executive
Committee was then instructed to prepare a
constitution and plan for the organization
of local societies, and to report at the next
annual meeting, the date for which, how
ever, has been left with the committee.
The Committee on Nominations presented
its report for the election of officers. The
report was adopted unanimously and the Off

A Subject for Special Work.
The Committee on Resolutions presented
the following:
Resolved, That we believe in the provi-
Dental use of the various lines of benevo-
lence and special work of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, and we believe the signs
of the times indicate that this church should
make city evangelization a subject of special
weight, prayer and legislation.
resolved, That we are greatly pleased
with the wisdom, devotion and zeal of our
brother, Horace Benton, of Cleveland, as
manifested in the call and arrangements for
the Convention, and that we hereby tender
to him our hearty thanks.
Other resolutions expressing the pleasure
and gratitude of the Convention to the pas
tor of the church and to others who had as
sisted in entertaining were passed, and the
convention adjourned sine die.

Leading Divines and Laymen Form Q Per-
manent Organization.
SEVERAL DISPUTED POINTS SETTLED

The Methodist Episcopal divines and lay
men from all over the country, who have
- been in conference here to decide how to
evangelize the cities, formulated their plans
yesterday after considerable debate The
morning session was occupied by the read
ing of three minute reports of each city
union by its delegation. The reports con-
sisted in giving the name of city and its
population, the number of NJ. E. churches,
missions and membership of same; the num-
Der of churches and missions supported In
whole or in part by the city union and their
total membership; the number Of conver-
sions and increase of membership during
the past year; the number of Sunday schools
and scholars; value of church property and
other interesting facts. All of the reports
were very interesting and encouraging.
Rev. c. w. Smith represented Pittsburg,
and his report showed healthful state OF
affairs here. There are % NJ E churches
in the Pittsburg district, with total men,
bership of 7,100 members. There are 26
Sunday schools with 8, 512 scholars. There
are no mission churches, and as the city is
we'll covered with churches there is no need
of any missions. The Pittsburg Methodist
Episcopal Church Union was organized in
1880. They have kept out of debt except
when new churches were built, when it was
necessary to go into debt to a small extent.
The only need of Pittsburg to assist weaker
churches is about $50, 900. The money for
all purposes is raised by going down into
their individual pockets for the cash.

!. she bravcly crossed the platform and
/, went into the next car.
A masculine eye would probably
have noticed nothing peculiar in her
personal appearance, but nearly
every woman that she passed noticed
that the newcomer still wore draped
overskirt. and that this part of her at.
tire, instead Of having the necessary
symmetry, was hitchcd around ON one
side in way that was not only unfash-
ionable, but entirely ungraceful and
unbccoming. Woman like, they wanted
to tell her of it.
She had found seat, had seated her
self. and was calmly depositing her
bundles by her side. when very pretty
girl in the seat Just behind leaned for
ward and said. in low tone:
II beg you pardon, madam, but some
thing seems to be wrong with your
dress. The skirt is caught to one side
in some way, and -"
"Hey?" said the woman. sharply.
The girl repeated in substance what
she had said before, and added humb Y:

The woman didn't understand. She
turned around. and throwing her head
back, in order to direct her gaze through
her glasses, carefully scrutinixed tho
young lady's features. Then, in q loud
tone. with due delibcration, she said:
Observation-Disclosures"
The young lady blushed. This rccep-
tion Of her well-meant information was
more than she had bargained for, and
her voice, though subdued, was very
distinct. The passengers near by were
becoming interested.
Il don't want tn seem rude, but your
skirt is somewhat one-sided"
The woman had puzzled look on her
face. and she slowly repeated: "I-don't
-think-I know you. I am . little
deaf" she added; cant you speak .
little loudcr?"
Her own tones by this time were loud
enough for IN open-air orator, and the
audience to the dialogue now comprised
all the passengers in the car.
The pretty girl had gone too far 70
hack out, and in tone that would have
done credit to an elocutionist she tried
again. "Your skirt is one-sided!'
For the first time the face of the wcm.

she leaned far back SO rs to get the full
