Seventieth Anniversary Of Method;<t
Protestant Denomination.
HISTORY OF The ORGANIZATION
The Issue Upon Which It Seeded
From Mother Church.
THE LOCAL CIETIES S

Today is the seventieth anniversary of the
organization of the Methodist Protestant
Church and the event will be observed by
the members and friends of that 1enomina-
tiOn throughout the land and wherever
those of the faith are tOund. The birth
place of the denomination was in this
Heighborhood, the organization taking place
at a convention held November l.. 1923,
in Baltimore at St. Johns Church. on Lib
erty street in which there We're delegates
from this city. The first annual conference
was known as the Maryland conference, of
which the five District churches form a
part.
The anniversary event is of considerable
local interest. inasmuch not only the
ministry. who favored or opposed the
movement which led to the organization,
will be recalled. but there are hundreds Of
descendants of the original members now
living. and some few of the early members
may be found in this neghhorhood.
The denomination. as its name implies.
is made up of the followers of Wesley. but

erected that season. 1t was a plain brick
structure 40 by 60 feet, with galleries on
sides and front. The work of construction
was accomplished with some difficulty for
the membership was small and mostly in
but moderate circumstances, and the in
debtedness was source of solicitude 1t

During the existence of this church many
have been brought into the fold, and the
membership, notwithstanding the location
of the edifice being near to the business

who withdrew from Congress Street for
this purpose, the congregations have been

church work have been we'll maintained

Church, became one of its leading divines,

First Local Church.
The Georgetown congregation was first
formed. Rev. W. c. Lipscomb. Gideon
Davis, John Eliason and some others were
members of the NJ. E. Church on Mont
gomery street and were known advocates
of reform. There was therefore some feel
ing. and one of the members of that day
is authority for the statement that this
feeling was shown by an attempt of a por-
tion of the congregation to sing hymn In
one tune when the choir, led by MIR. Lips
comb, sang another, thus making more dis
cord. The result was that Messrs. Lips
comb. Davis and John Eliason were "disci-
plined'-eXpelled. A number of others
Withdrew, sympa thiZing with them because
of their treatment If not in the cause they
advocated. These held meeting in the
Georgetown council chamber October 10,
1873 to determine upon a course to pursue.
There were besides MeSSrS. LipScomb, Da-
Wis and Eliason number of others present,
and they determined to hold to their Chris
tian professions and to hold meetings. 1t
is but just to say that efforts were made
to heal the differences, and offers were
made by the church to receive them back
on recantation, but these efforts were un-
successful.
Having come to the conclusion that it
was best to organize and Rev. DR.. Balch
of the Bridge Street Presbyterian Church
having offered them the use of the building
occupied by his congreg ltion, they net the Q

French Uniforms Absurd.
from the Pittsbrrg Dispatch.

From the Pittsbrrg Dispatch.
Every one who has examined the cam
paign uniform of the French soldier has
found it, to say the least, picturesque. The
dingy colors Of their clothing, the absurd
krapsack, the unshapely cartridge box, the
ugly headgear, the trousers turned up, all
combine to make a spectacle of him not
to be found elsewhere In Europe. And the
clumsiness of it all is the first thing to
strike even the most unobservant specta-
tor.
Writers for the French press have long
since pointed out these facts and have
shown how such inf1iction in the way of
outfit is sufficient alone to use up the
strength of the strongest man and crush
Down the energy of the stoutest heart. The
headgear of a French nfantryman is some
thing on the order of an old-fashioned he'll
me! worn by English f1remen.
This instrument of torture peculiar to the
French army exposes the wearer to sun
stroke during the summer and is entirely
insufficient for protection in the winter
months. 1t also acts a gutter spout
when it rains and lets the water pour dowI,
the soldiers back.
The French infantryman is about as bad
off in other respects. His shoes allow both
the dust and moisture to penetrate to the
skin and his knapsack becomes a veritabis
instrument of torture. The French writer's
point out that fatigue and exposure to
such trials much more dangerous than
the bullets of the enemy, They add that a
battle is the exception while troops are
always on the move, and that the general.

discussion Of the question by ministers and
laymen- In 1921 the publication cf the
Wesleyan Repository was commenced at
Trenton. y. J.. by Mr. w. S. Stockton, in
which the representation of iaymen and
local ministers and the modification or
adjustment of the presiding eldership was
discussed up to the general conference of
1874 Numerous petitions were presented
asking reforms in the church government
hut without avail. The Repository weS
succeeded by the Mutual Rights and union

country 10 Sscertain the number of mem

Kentucky over sixty leaving one appoint
ment. The membership of the FIVE churches
in the district alexandria being then in
cluded iii the District racked with
agitation. ana. may be supposed, the
question divided even the family circle.
The ministers were then sent TO appoint
ments for but one year, and IL was hoped
that when the new appointments were
made by some means the reforms would
come. In the meantime the Itinerant was
started in Baltimore by DIR. Thos E. Bond
and IL earnestly defended the church. The
congregations of Fourth Street. then Eben-
ezer. and now Trinity, the Georgetown and
Foundry churches were much agitated on
the subject
State Conventions Proposed.
In 1895 the Baltimore society recommend
ed that the societies hold state conventions
to make inquiry into the prop:iety of pre-
pairing one United petition to the conference
OF 1873. and TO elect delegates TO a general
convention to that end. This suggestion
was followed, and members who participat-
ed In the meetings were expelled from the
church, Including eleven ministers and
