| ed to take place as the immediate result
| of the joint commission of those bodies
| held here this week, there Is a widespread
| feeling that the time is rapidly approaching
when they will again be one. In reference
| to this, Bishop McCabe said not long since:
| II hope that by the close of the present
| century all the branches of Methodism in
/ this country will be united. I have not
| consulted my colleagues on this point. And
| when they elected me as one of their body
| they took me for better or for worse, but
| want to say that 1 am in favor of the union
| of Methodists. 1t would be the grandest
| event of the century. I believe it is COM
| trust the time is not far distant when the
sons of John Wesley will be united and
there will be no southern or northern
| churches, but all one.
| IT did not realize how strong this senti-
ment for union is until about two years
ago, when was attending a large meeting
| in Chattanooga, Tenn. Upon that occa-
sion I expressed the same sentiment and q
great shout went up from that acre of
people, and then a vision opened up before
| me, wherein I saw the Methodist of Georgia
clasping hands with the Methodist of Mas
sachusetts. Yes, I want to see the day

and bishop from Massachusetts, will GO
to the conference in Texas.
