THE EPwoRTH LEAGUE

Today. July is. the Epworth League
many OF whose members passed
through this city on their way west
convened at the Mechanics Pavilion.
san Francisco. The gathering Is inter-
national. and much interest Is taken In
its proceedings.
The Epwor,h League Is a Methodist
organisation. formed In 1859, at meet
ing held In the Central NJ. T.. church at
Cleveland, Ohio, 10y the amalgamation
OF a number Of organizations all Of
which aimeda at the spiritual and intellec-
tual advancement OF their members. IL
was named after the birthplace Of Rev.
John Wesley, In Lincolnshire, England.
As these organizations became popular.
II was evident that they could not exist
without encroaching upon one another,
and much III feeling was therefore en-
rendered. 10 remedy this, amalgama-
ton was suggested and carried through.
Among the societies thus united in the
League were The Young Peoples Lyce-
um. The oxford League. The Young
Peoples Methodist Alliance The Young
Peoples Christian League The Meth
odst Young Peoples Union. and the
Methodist Episcopal Alliance.
Since unity was established, a great
work has been carried on. The League
now embraces about two and one quar-.
ter million members. It's official organ,
the Epworth Herald. has l2j.oOO sub
scrlbers, and there are other publica-
tions with an enormous circulation,
The organization girdles the globe
Wherever the Methodist church goes,
the Epworth League follows. and It's
work In foreign lands Is as varied as
the customs and conditions prevailing
where Methodlsm has planted her
standard. There are Epworth chapters
In twenty foreign counties. from Nor
way TO Malaysia. In many Of these
countries the work Of organization II

complete record OF hfty-siX chapters In
India. whore the Epworthians publish

great foreign Epwor,h convention was
held at Calcutta In October 1891 In
Germany there are fifty chapters, and
little Switzerland has almost as many
more, and the beautiful simplicity and
devotion Of the workers In the tiny re-
public are said 10 be impressive. Den
mark presents record Of twenty
chapters, and in china there are TWEEN

escort was knocked down. Here Is a
case where lynching was narrowly
averted and where II would have been
wholly unJustlhable according TO the

lynching. Lynching is always an out
rage on law, and It gives its victim no
semblance Of chance to defend him
