RED-HOT METHODIST
BALTIMORE CONFERENCE SEVERE ON
TRAVELLING PREACHERS.
Their Indfscriminats Methods Dsuouncsd
Hard Hits st . Certain ciass Of
irresponsible Evangeiists."
Especial telegram to tho Dispascn.l

lSDtf08i ttic8fohh W ta0 btHke'~ff
HlRRrsosBuno. Va, March 2s.-The Bal
timore Annual Conference Of the Southern
Methodist Church completed its fourth
days work here to-day. A significant part
of the proceedings was the presentation OF
Q strong paper by a special committee DIS
countenarcing the indiscriminate methods
of travelling evangelis's.
PERyIcIoUs.
The committee. through Rev. DR..
Rodgers. its chairman, declared that the
system "a pernicious and is calculated TO
undermine the cardinal features OF the
time-hopored itinerancy. 1t further re,
commends that all preachers when IN need
OF assistance in revival WORK cali upon
either their brethren of their own or ADA
cent conferences.
IRRESPONSIBLE
A supplementary resolution offered by
DR.. Cox went further in declaring II
valid objection to the passage OF q
nra.cbers character TO invite into his
pulpit any of these irresponsible evange-
lists who are travelling around the coun-
try.
Rev. Collins Dennis. of Vanderbilt Uni
versity. and others opposed this as oeing
too radical. and it was subsequently WITH
drawn.
UNDERMINED.
In this connection Rev. V. W. Wheeler,
of Clifton Forge, sharply denounced the
conduct of Evangelist w. W. Smith, VINO
visited that town recently. and who has
been preaching in Richmond not long
since. He said that work of that char
acter undermined the influence OF the
local pastors and estrayed their people on
the whole. leaving the spiritual CONDITION
Of the people far worse than 1t was De-
fore.
CoUSTERACr.
The Bishop said 1t was high time that
some action was taken by the Church TO
counteract the dIsorganizing and disinte-
grating effect of this sort OF work.
PLEDGED.
Rev. DIR. Morrison. of Louisville. pre-
sented the claims of the Board of Foreign
Missions, and asked for two missionaries
in Japan. More than the amount asked
for was pledged in few minutes.
ADJOURNMENT.
Tomorrow Bishop keener will preach
at the Methodist church. and the ordina-
ton of elders and deacons will follow.
The conference will probably adjourn
Tuesday night.
