TIE NEW HETHODTSN.

The Methodist Congress which has just closed
its sessions al Pittsburg was a wholly extra
official gathering whose only function was the
exchange Of personal views on some OF the great
questions that Christianity to-day is being called
upon TO face Yet il was none the less sug.
gestive and interesting on that account. In
fact 1t gave a much better indication Of the
way in which modern life is affecting Meth
odism than the regular conferences OF the de-
nomination could possibly give. The holding
of such q congress at all Is one Of the interest
ing waymarks Of the time. Fancy John Wcs-
ley or George Whltcfeld asking the preachers
Of the nascent Methodism to meet together In
order to discuss 1.-The relation OF the Church 10
1.-The thought and life Of the people as affected
"by current and scientific and literary teach
"lngs." The thing IS lncOnceivabe. and in
deed, for many years after the days Of Wesley
the attitude Of Methodlsm toward the educated
thought Of the day was one Of profound indlf
ference. If not OF hostility. Even to-day rural
Methodism has little sympathy WITH or interest
in. the question what literature or science thinks
Of Christ
Nevertheless, IN spite OF Its traditions, modern
Methodlsm finds itself compelled to take ac-
count Of the religious and secular problems that
lie outside the UNCONVENTIONAL metes and
bounds This congress Is by no means the first
or only Indication OF such change Of attitude
| The Church has established excellent theologi-
| cal seminaries, and its preachers or clergymen,
| as some Of them like TO be called Will compare
| favorably with those Of other denominations in
culture and learning. Many Of the fathers Of
! Mehodlsm, giants though they were by nature
and grace. had a most hearty contempt for the
! learning of the schools 1t was their belief that
God needs no mans learning, whereas the pen
| dulum OF thought in the denomination to-day
I declare that God needs no mans ignorance In
the field OF theology. Biblical criticism and gen
eral scholarship Methodism is making itself
heard to-day, and it Is throwing itself with
arGor into the great stream Of sociological and
religious thought that is carrying the rest Of the
civilized world on its bosom. Whether for good
or ILL., the ideal Of Methodlsm as n little oasis in
a desert Of worldliness, m esoteric cult with
peculiar grips and passwords unknown to the
! rest of ChrIstendom, has faded out Of view. and
instead Of 1t has arisen the thought that Meth
odism Is n part Of the great Church catholic
having no special claims to divine favor, and
therefore not desiring in any way to separate
itself from the common life and the common
thought of the whole Christian world.
There may be some old-fashoned Methodists
| who will regret this change of view, and DER

haps will even lament it as sign or spirituai
decay. Certainly some of the addresses at the
congress will not go unchallenSed. For tney
were able presentations of the last word oi

life. archaeology and Biblical criticism. And as
everybody knows. these lines Of investigation
have brought 10 light many facts that are an

TO realize this fact, and with that practlca good

ginning. it has determined to adjust itself 10
the needs and conditions Of the day.
