WAIT en- PRiMATE
METHoDIsTs SEEK RECOGNITION
FROM ARCHBISHOP.
GREAT MEETING IN LONDON
Ecumenical Conference of Methodist
Episcopal Church to Begin-Gamb-
ling and Intemperance to Be Con-
sidered - Americans Assigned
Prominent Parts on Program.

London, Aug. S1.-Delegates to the
ecumenical conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church, which begins
next week, are wondering if the arch
bishop of Canterbury will cast prece-
dent aside and send a representative
of the established church to the great
gathering of dissenters.
THE question is important" said
Bishop J. w. Hartzell of America,
because of the meaning which the
outside world will place on the arch
bishop of Canterbury's action. Invi.
tations were extended to all the
churches to attend. Acceptances
have been received from the Baptists,
Congregationalists, Presbyterians and
the Salvation Army. The primate of
all England alone has not been heard
from.
I'VE believe the conference will
have an important bearing upon the
future growth of the church. 1t ought
to tend to increase fraternity, dissi-
pate the remnants of antagonism and
organize into unions the smaller
bodies on the different continents.
The aggressive propagation of Meth
odism will be carefully considered by
the gathering"
Gambling and intemperance will
have 9 prominent place in the pro-
gram of the conference.
The Americans hope the conference
will formally declare against minis
tiers drinking. English sentiment is
divided upon this question The con-
ference will sit for twelve days, and
Bishop G. NJ Galloway will preach the
opening sermon.
The American and Canadian dele
gates who are here to attend the con.
ference number 800. The English
delegates number 200. Chilli, Brazil
and Mexico are represented in the
conference for the first time.
Americans will take a prominent
part in the conference. Governor At
kinson of West Virginia leads the dis
cussion on gambling and Judge Chas
B. Lore of Wilmington, Del, will lead
in the discussion on the liquor ques-
ton. DR.. John ]. Tigert will read a
paper on biblical criticism and Presi-
dent Charles J. Little of Garrett Bibli-
cal Institute will deliver paper upon
Methodist education.
Other important topics which will
be discussed by the conference will
be: The Influence of Methodism in
Promoting International Peace, Chris
tianity and Modern Unbelief. Modern
Indifferentism. The Perils of Increas-
ing Wealth and Luxury and The Neg
lect of Family and Religion.
