Closer Fellowship.

Bishop Fitzgerald said:
"All the indications are that the conven-
ton will draw the younger and receptive
class of Methodsts of all parts of the
United States and the Dominion of Cana
ga closer together The tendency mani
Tested among the delegates toward church
unity seemed to be specially Observable
The time is coming when there will be g.
much closer union of Methodist bodies
than has heretofore existed. and we are
also praying and hoping for the proposed
unification of the whole Church of Christ.
The proposed federation of all Methodist
bodies is step in that direction. Among
US Methodists federation will at least mean
this: That nowhere on earth shall there be
a man or dollar wasted by the organiza-
ton of two Methodist societies. when one
can do the work that is needed.
"In my part of the United States this
spirit is growing graciously. Young Chris
tians of every denomination seem to be
widening in their sympathy as they in
crease in their activities.
zone of the brightest signs of our times
is in the fact that Christian people every
where are looking to find points of agree
ment rather than of difference. and this
was magniticently shown during the re-
cent convention.
Rev. DIR. Briggs of the Methodist Church
in Car ada expressed views similar to those
quoted from Bishop Ninde and Vice Presi-
dent Doherty.

rtfal Dispatch to The Evening Star.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
TORONTO, Can, July 10. 1897.
The third international convention of the
EpWorth League came to a close last even
ing, but the hosts of delegates did not be-
gin to take their departure from the city
until this morning. Since then they have
been leaving by every outgoing train and
boat. and it is expected by nightfall nearly
all the visitors will have started for their
homes.
1t is no cxaggeration to say that there
have been few instances where any one in
attendance has not expressed satisfaction
with his or her experience, and all will
long remember the hospitality of the peo
pie of Toronto.
Bishop Fitzgerald of the Southern Meth
odst Church, in talking with The Star
reporter. said the hospitality of the resi-
dents of this city. not only of those who
were connected with the Epworth League
but every one. has been extended most
sraciously. AS an Illustration. Bishop Ftz
gerald said he asked a worSingrnan whom
he met on a corner the direction to a GER
tain part of the city. and the man walked
five squares to put him on the right course,
lest the bishop might make some mistake
in finding the place to which he wanted
to so.
II is the opinion of Bishop Ninde of the
dent Doherty of the Epworth League of
the NJ. e. Church. Bishop Fitzgerald of the
NJ. f. Church South and Rev. Dr. Briggs.
one of the chief men of the Methodist
Church in Canada with all of whom The
Star reporter conversed relative to the
matter. that the convention has been a
most triumphant success and the effect
for good will be felt in the United States
and Canada for years to come.
Bishops Views.
Bishop Ninde further said: 1.-THE success of
the convention has been complete in every
respect. The addresses made were of
high order and the discussions developed
an earnestness of purpose to do good that
was highly commendable."
Vice President Doherty of the Epworth
League of the NJ. f. Church North said:
THE convention will accomplish good
throughout the entire domain of Meth
odsm on the continent of America. Some
of the great problems of statecraft will,
believe be solved as the result of this and
similar conventions of young people.
The convention in its influence not only
obliterated Mason and Dixons line, but
made more noticeable the good feeling
that exists between the people of the
United States and those of Canada and
Nova Scotia. 1t also tended to wipe on.
the lines of distinction between the
churches AS an illustration of this was
the fact that meetings of the Epworth
League convention We're held In three
churches in the city outside of the Metho-
dist denomination, and this is a foretoken
of church unity, such as we have never
yet had.
