Scientists who are ignored the ground that
they have permanent church organization In
their attitude the Methodists have the support of
the German Evangelical Church. one of the smaller

Many of the laymen strongly in favor OF the
proposed federation. A minority OF the Meth

ment declare they will not abide by the action of
yesterdays meeting. The resolutions which were
adopted read in part: we, the Methodist min

possibilities of good in closer alliance OF evan

lutons hold that planned the federation
would not promote civic Righteousness and higher
ethical ideals" Letters sent out this morn
