EPISCOPAL ADDRESS.

~
The growth of the church during the
past four years has been 1856, 600 souls and
the Methodist church is now the greatest
in numbers in the world save the Baptist
and Catholic.churohes. Including proba-
tioners there are now in the church
9, 766, $50 persons. The Sunday school
gained during the four years past $780, :
S5s. The Woman's Foreign society and
the Woman's Home Missionary society
are very prosperous. The bishop did not
recommend any material change in the
appointments, but suggested that wis
dom might provide some method by
which, under suitable safeguards, the
past oral term might be extended to meet
very rare cases of emergency. This was
a direct blow at those who are laboring
to extend the pastoral term and it was
CRESTED with wild cheering by the dele
gates. On the
AMUSEMENT QUESTION,
the address said the church was opposed
to all pleasures that are disstpating,
rather than recreative. The report urges
the United States government to so adjust
the laws as not to seem to lega1ize the
liquor traffic in states where there is
prohibi ton. The subjects of arbitration
and capital and labor were treated in q
skilful manner. Down town churches
were commended and the report said the
Methodist should be slow to abandon
them. 1t was recommended that the
conferences recognize Methodist schools
by accepting diplomas from them. The
report closed by saying that from all
the world came signs Of encouragement
and 1t was surely marching on to ulti-
mate victory. The conference accepted
the report.
At p. m. the committee on eligibility
which has before it the question of adj
mitting women to the conference met be-
hind closed doors in the First Methodist
Oh urch and had
VERY STORMY SESSION.
1t is understood that compromise has
been practically agreed upon by means of
which the women who have been elected
to sit as delegates will be allowed to vote
and take part in the proceedings without
admitting the constitutionality of the
question, which IL to be referred again
to the conference. The lady delegates
held session tonight to discuss the
propriety and advisability of asking
equal represent ation as ministerial dels-
gates at the conference. This was carried
By vote Of 81 to is and the fight Will
