eIines to Hear Messages.

London, Sept 5.-The Ecumenica1
Methodist conference today unani-
mously declined to hear the secretary
read the message of the Archbishop Of
Canterbury. in which he expressed a
hope that some day the Metho7ists
would be united with the Episco-
palians, and of similar import the n es-
asge of the Bishop Of London, on the
ground they had been addressed to the
editor of a religious newspaper and not
to the conference.
Discussing the present position Of
Methodism. the Rev. 7 E. buckles, Of
King Williams Town, Cape Colony,
said the war would purify the admin
istration of the navies. Bishop Hart
zell. missionary bishop of the Methodist
Episcopal church in Africa. said the
war was merely an incident of Anglo
Saxon civilizations expansion.
Dr. Leonard, of New York. thanked
God for what Great Britain was doing
in South Africa, and expressed the hope

OPEN THE CRUSADE.
Prof. A. D. wilcox Will Commence
Temperance Lectures Sept. IS.


Secretary A. u. wilcox of the State
Temperance union has received from
Chicago his new stereopticon which he
expects to use in his temperance meet
ings, beginning about the middle OF the
present month.
Prof. Wilcox has worked up six new
lectures during the summer, three Of
which viii be illustrated by means OF
the stereopticon. He expects to remain
a week in eacn locality. holding meet
ings every night except Saturday. and
win begin his fall campaign at Paoia
on Sunday, the 18th. These meetings
will be of gospel temperance cn5f-
acter, in which total abstinence pledge
signing will be one of the principal fea-
lures.
one of the members of the executive
committee of the State Temperance
union, speaking yesterday of Prof VII
cox, said: He is one of the best men
the union has ever had in its employ
He has done fine service during the
summer as secretary. as good, or even
better, than the union has ever had
done. His efforts have been in the di-
rection of building up the work IN
every direction and Of getting all of the
forces united for a vigorous campaign
during the coming year.
1.-The executive committee is lOath to
see him leave the office but of course
it is understood that he must go again
into the field. He insisted upon that
arrangement when he came into the
Office last spring. NO one mas yet been
found to take his place as secretary
There are several applications before
the committee, which they are cOnsid-
ering. but the position requires an all
round man and one of courage. goo1
judgment and executive ability also
man who is not afraid of unremitting
toll
1t is expected by the officers that the
union viii leave strong local law en-
forcement organization in every com
munity visited by it's lecturers during
the coming year. Secretary Wilcox says
that there has never been such a call
as there is at present for meetings and
local organizations.
Besides Mr.. Wilcox a number of
other men will be IN the field during
the fall and winter. Most of them,
however, only part time Rev. F. "
En- erson will begin a series of meet
ings at Wichita OH the 18th Of the pres
ent month, and Rev. James Kerr at
Blue Rapids on the 22d. Arrangements
are also being made to open up
strong campaign in Fort Scott and
other whisky centers.
