GROWTH THESOCIETY
Has Been Marvellous In a
Decade, the Total Men,
bership Being Near
Two Million.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, July 2O.-The
fourth international conference OF the
Epworth League bids fair to outdo all
of the previous gatherings OF the great
organization, both rs to the number of
delegates and visitors in attendance
and tie enthusiasm shown in the open
ing rallies.
All sections of this country and of
Canada are represented in the hosts OF
young people who throng the streets
and public places of Indiana's capital
today. Besides the $1,000 delegates
there are almost 90 many visitors with
credentials, the latter including sew
eral prominent divines and laymen of
the Methodist church, who figure in
the list of speakers.
Washington street, Pennsylvania
street aud other leading thoroughfares
of the downtown district are gay with
flags and banners bearing the NAL
tese cross and the familiar motto
"Look Up, Lift Up"
The conference formally opened at
2:3O this afternoon with simultaneous
rallies in the big tent in the court
house yard, and in Tomlinson hall,
lust across the street. Both meeting
places were crowded to the limit of
their capacity, the combined attend
ance being estimated at 5000.
Eloquent addresses of welcome were
delivered by Governor Mount, Mayor
Thomas A. Taggart, and by repre-
sentatives of the Methodists of India
napolis. Fraternal responses were
given by ex-Congressman ]. Frank
Hanly of Lafayette. Bishop w. x.
Ninde of Detroit, the Rev. A. .Carman
of Toronto, the Rev. G. J. Bond of
Halifax, Bishop John F. Hurst of
Washington, and Bishop o. P. Fitz-
gerald of Nashville.
Following these addresses, VIII ich
were preceded by prayer and choral
singing, the conferences were formally
turned over sto the presiding officers
and during the remainder of the ses-
sions the general subject of Methodism
was discussed, the seutime nts respond
ed to in the mum erous eloquent ad-
dresses being the unity of members of
the church throughout the entire
world.
The Pacific coast appears to have a
good chance of capturing the conven-
tion of the league to be held two years
hence. San Francisco has sent big
delegation to bid for the gathering and
it Is understood to have the support of
numerous delegations from other Sec
tions.
The organization was given birth at
q conference of young Methodists held
in Cleveland in 1889. More than %, 900
local chapters have been organized
and the aggregate membership now
the two million mark.
