EPWORTH LEAGUE MEETING.
General Secretary Berry, Of the Ep-
worth League, denies in an interview
that there has been any difficulty with
the railroads about rates to San Francis
co. The League convention, biennial
gathering, such as it is now proposed to
make the Christian Endeavor, meets in
San Francisco, and Secretary Berry es-
Inmates that the expense Of each dele
gate from Chicago will be 500, and
from the Eastern section Of the country
$3.50. He also declares that SO great is
the interest that the attendance will be
fully $4,000. An estimate of the railorad
fares of all who will attend the Cincin-
natl Endeavor Convention is 5000, 900.
If Secretary Berry is correct in his es-
Inmates, and il, all of the so, 700 went from
Chicago or the East, the cost OF the
League Convention this yearSwould con-
siderably exceed 5000. 900. 1t is no won
der that churches ask whether big con-
MENTIONS pay. But as all do not attend
from as far East as Chicago, a revised
estimate OF the cost of the San Fran
cisco Convention to MethodistS North
and South-for Southern young people
unite with the Northern ones, although
grown up Metho6ists do not-will equal
,SA,VVusupy Ny Ill NC pelll
for souvenirs, making $4,000 00 as a
round estimate. San Francisco shop
keepers said they got $780, 900, from
Christian Endeavors for souvenirs. Sec
rotary Berry believes the coming conven-
ton viii be the largest one the League
ever held.
THE METHOD1STS RESTLESS.
Leaders in the Methodist Church, South
say they are enjoying the advantage of
the experiment of a removal of the pas
foral time-limh without ircuring any risk.
They are watching the trial Of the plan
by the Melhodists. North, and say that
if they see the latter succeed they will
follow with a removal of their limit. The
pastoral limit in the Church, South. is -four
years but 1T is found in practice that fully
50 per cent. of all ministers change every
two Years, so they are quite unaffected
by any four-year-limit. They could not be
counted upon to favor limit, and vet.
since they are not injured, they coulll
not be relied on greatly to oppose such
step. Methodists, North, are CONTINUING.

the belief steadily spreads that a fargo
proportion of influential conferences to Be
held tbs spring Will take some action.

NEW YORK, Feb. 16-Disappointmen
begins to be expressed by religious lead
ers over the passing of the season with
out any religious awakening worth men
tioning. In cities the year in which work
can be done gradually shortens, because
: people go away earlier in the spring and
return later in the fall. Nothing can be
accomplished until after Christmas, and
IL January and February pass without
any marked movement, the year is
gone February is well over, and there
is nothing anywhere in the religious
world of America that is at all marked.
The Simultaneous Mission movements in
England, which were to arouse much,
have really aroused little, and contrary
TO expectation, they have been felt in
this country not at all. It is a condi-
ZION to be remembered in future move
r7ents. that in religious matters English
action affects American opinion less and
less In some cities there are religious
movements of pretension. In others min
listers are holding meetings in an en-
ueasor. to arouse themselves. But there
is nowhere any general religious move
11ens. A great deal of hard teaching
and work is being performed, but 1t is
row generally recognized that the OPEN
ing year of the new century is not to be
marked with aiayifitiS uaeSuai IN the
churches.
THE CHRISTIAN ENDiSAVoRERS.
Christian Endeavor is 10 celebrate it's
twentieth year OF existence by abolish
ing some OF its conventions. The trus-
