THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.

The gathering in Chicago at this time
Of the general conference Of Methodlsts,
Is a notable event IN ecclesiastical cir
Giles. The conference represents a re-
llgious body Of 100000 members. near
~ $4,000 regular ministers and over IA
900 local preachers distributed over the
world ia l2l cnuual conferences. and the
session viii continue for a month
One Of the most important questions
TO come before this gathering is the
remedy for the reported faning-oif in
membership. The statistics Of the last
year showed a decrease Of new con-
verts. 20 the number Of $4,000. And
this caused alarm. Recently the bishops
issued an appeal for a week OF fast
ing and prayer on account of this loss
in prestige.
Whether this serious state of affairs
has caused some OF the Methodists to
consider their rules Of admittance and
the requirements Of the discipline, does
not appear, but Il is stated that the
conference viii be asked 10 direct that
the probation" system be abandoned,
and also that the prohibition OF dane
ing and some other amusements be re-
sclnded It may be merely a colnci-
dence that these measures are brought
up az time when the people are pray
ing for an increase Of converts, but IL
win always leave room FOR a suspicion
that leading Methodists are not avcrse
to a compromise with the world for
the sake Of gaining accessions.
The Methodist Magazine says many
OF the propositions to be considered VIII
affect the bishops, The question viii
come NJ "to have more OF them and
fewer presiding elders TO make them
diocesan and not general superinten-
dents; to assign them to cities In the
interest OF the urgent cause Of city
evangellzation TO fix a retiring age. as
In the United states army; TO grant
larger salaries and relieving them from
any necessity Of supplementary per-
quisites"
The latter question will. perhaps, by
many be considered the most import
ant one Il would be a splendid thing
II the salary question could be en-
urely eliminated from the deliberations
OF ecclesiastical bodies. The salary is a
snare and a temptation for many a
young man. who. in order TO retain IT,
Is hypocrlte all through life and tries
his best 10 make hypocrites OF other
people. too Let the Gospel be preached
without salary. In order that he who
breaches 70 may do so because he be-
lieves H. loves It. and has burning
desire TO serve the Master The Lord

istry. without making merchandise Of
the Gospel. As long as priests DO they
cannot expect the power that was
/ poured out upon the devoted men that
went out 10 the world with a message
/ solely because they were commanded
10 do 80. and expected their reward
hereafter
The carly success OF Methodism wa'
almost entirely due to the system by
which II was enabled TO send out an
army OF preachers, taken from th'

The ideal weather In Utah during the

THE TURKISH INDEMNITY,
Harper's weekly

In recent years no country except
Germany. which sided openly with the
sultan during the Armenian massacres
has been able 10 extract anything from
Turkey except by the more brutal forms
Of diplomacy. The railroad conces-
sions in the north Of Asia Minor. grant
ed a few weeks ago TO Russia were
.eXtorted under an implied threat that
the sultan did not dare to resist. ia
The same way, Austria was enabled TO
collect damages for the iIl-treatment
Of an Austrian subject In Asia Minor
By simply announcing that " the sum
demanded was not forthcoming by a
certain date. a bombardment would be.
IL is almost an axiom OF diplomacy
that Turkey WIN never pay until she is
forced 70.
