ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

Bishop Charles Fowler and DR.. j. w.
Hamilton will go to England early in
June to attend the conference at Hull,
when it is probable that Hugh Price
Hughes will be the president. The
great task of this conference will be
to raise one million pounds sterling
from one million Methodists in Great
Britain as a new century beginning.
An English letter to the Christian
Advocate states that there is no ques-
tion as to the direction toward which
the bulk of sympathy of the English
people is flowing with regard to the
war. When England fought for Spain
against the Napoleonic tyranny the
Spaniards proved themselves untrust-
worthy and ungrateful allies. The
savage butcheries i'm Cuba have dis
gusted all fair-minded Englishmen.
Rev. l.. Lindenstruth, president of
the WillIes-Barre conference, and Rev.
G. II. Hemsath have so far consented
to deliver addresses. There will be sew
eral other speakers. but definite ap-
pointments have not yet been made. 1t
is to be hoped that all the members
of the church, both of the English and
the German congregations will endeav-
or to be present on this festal occa-
sion. During the annual meeting of
the Ministerium of Pennsylvania,
which will convene in Philadelphia on
June 2, there will be a grand celebra-
tion of the Sesqui-Centennial. Repre-
sentatives of the Lutheran church
throughout the United States will be
present and extend greetings to the
mother synod in this country.
