TALK ON METHODIST.
Remarks OF Rev. c. F.. Bacon, Of Rob-
erts Park Church.

ertS Park SnuFcn.
Rev. C. E. Bacon, of Roberts Park
Church, talked on Zone Hundred Years Of
Methodism and the Heart of the Twentieth
Century Movement" yesterday morning.
He said the last century had been remark
able for the progress that has been made
in church work and organization. The
first part of the century there was a gen.
eral revival, and this was followed by the
auxiliary organizations. In 1864 the church
extension movement began; 1869 was
marked by the formation of a board of
education and d revival along educational
lines and the formation of the Women's
Foreign Missionary Society, the Home Mis-
sionary Society in 1880, the deaconess move
ment in Chicago in 1856 and the organiza-
ton Of the Epworth League in 1889. The
church at the beginning of the century
had a little more than a half million men,
bers, and now it has two and three-Quar-
ter millions. From 1910 till 1914, the year
of the division between the North and the
South, the membership increased CSC, 600;
from 1888 to 1892, 390, 600; from 1892 to 1896,
$1,000, but since the last date there has
been a lull, some years showing an in
crease, while others showed a decrease.
1t is this standstill that Mr.. Bacon con-
siders one of the most important condi-
ions that should receive notice in the
twentieth century movement.
Although this condition exists, he be-
lieves the world Is growing better, that the
Bible is more intelligently studied than it
ever has been before, people are more
charitable in their opinions, and that there
Is a general movement for the betterment
OF mankind. He said the churches are
now better equipped for church services,
the numerous church auxiliary organiza-
tons have proved their value and the
world Is moving steadily onward, ad-
vancing and then retiring, but gaining a
step at each advance
With all this machinery he thinks there
should be more activity in a spiritual way,
which Is the fire that generates the power
TO propel IL. He believes the fire under the
boilers has been allowed 10 die down and
that the solution is to kindle them anew.
