THE Methodist church, the Chicago
Times-Herald says, has always pre-
sented the singular anomaly of having
the largest enrolment of communi-
cants taken from the democratic masses
of our citizenship, and at the same
time governmental machinery almost
despotic. Under the present system it
is claimed that 400 preachers can de-
feat the viii of 100000 laymen and
$4,000 ministers. The laymen have
built the churches, founded schools
and maintained the ministry, and they
claim they should have a voice in the
management to that to which they
have contributed so literally.

gentlemen were initiated by Miss
