UNITY IN MISSION WORK
A Conference in Progress Between Distin-
gui.hed sMsthddists.
Representatives of the Two Brnnches
of the Church CSnsiderins
Important au@stion..

An important conference was in progress
today at the Foundry NJ. E. Church be-
tween distinguished representatives of the
two branches Of the Methodist Episcopal
Church in the United States known as the
NJ E. Church and the NJ. E. Church South
The object was to secure unity in mission
work and to take measures by which peace
may be established and cessation of con-
flict assured between the missionaries of
the two branches.
The conference was decided upon some
time ago by the respective branches, and it
was agreed that three bishops, three clergy
men and three laymen should represent
each in the deliberations. Those present at
the meeting today, the proceedings of which
were made secret by resolution, were:
Bishops ]. c. Cranberry, r. K Hargrove
and w. w. Duncan: Revs. E. E. Hass of
Nashville, editor of the Christian Advocate;
G. A. Macdonald and J. H. Dye: Judge
Walter Clack, Prof. R. w. Jones and Col.
Asa Holt of Texas represented the NJ. E.
Church South, and Bishops John M. Hurst
of this city, s. M. Merrill of Chicago and w.
x. Ninde Of Detroit Rev. r. ]. Cooke of
Chattanooga, Rev. Luther B. Wilson, D.
D., Of this city, as substitute for Rev. ].
w. Goucher, president of the Woman's Col
lege, Baltimore, who is now in India, and
Rev. H. G. Jackson Of Chicago, Judge r.
T. Muller of Covington. KY, Judge Murray
of Clearfield Pa, and Judge T. B. Sweet of
Topeka, Kan, representing the M. L.
Church.
While unity in mission work is the main
object to be attained by the conference it
is understood the advisability of having
the two branches use common hymnal
will be suggested and that cooperation in
favor of advancing the interests Of the
Methodist University here will be advised.
1t is not thought that any definite action
will be taken looking to organic union be-
tween the branches, but the subject will be
discussed.
The deliberations this morning were de-
voted mainly to organization and were
presided over by Bishops Merrill and Gran
berry alternately.
The commissioners will be entertained at
reception this evening by Bishop and
Mrs. Hurst at their residence, No. TOO
Massachusetts avenue, and brief businc IS
session will also be held there. 1t is ex-
Eected thar the business of the conference
will be concluded tomorrow.
