THE METHODISTS

Yesterday was an interesting day with
the Virginia Methodists in session at
Richmond. There Will be no change
this year in the number of districts in
the conference. The laymen are divided
on the subject, and the bishop and his
council are said to have practically de-
cided to let the divisions remain as they
are at present. The laymen held an
other meeting yesterday, at which
the committee appointed Thursday
reported in favor of creating a
new district to be formed from
the territory adjacent to Farmville.
A substitute was offered declaring any
change in the districts inexpedient. Both
propositions were rejected, and the meet
ing adjourned without action. When
the class of the third year was called for
the day and the statement made that the
report was not ready the bishop spoke
rather sharply to the chairman of the
committee, the Rev. Mr.. De Shazo, and
said that no corlmitte had right to de-
eide when if should report.

REPORTS from Utah indicate that
Apostle Reed Smoot, of the Mormon
Church, will be elected United States
Senator by the legislature OF that state.
If he is elected the apostle is not likely
to find any important obstacle in taking
his seat in the Senate as he is republic
can, which is enough to cover any num-
Der of heretical sins and practices. 1t
will be remembered that a republican
House unseated Mr.. Roberts when he
was elected a member of that body from
Utah, but he was a democrat and
circumstances alter cases with republi-
cans. But if there were reason for ex-
Guiding Roberts because he is Nor
mon. there is far more reason for ex-
Guiding Smoot. The Mormon Church
is governed by one chief, who has two
advisers. Then there are twelve apostles.
The thirteen form the controlling power.
The apostles bear the same relation to
the chief as members of the Cabinet bear
to the President of the United States.
Smoot is one of the twelve apostles. He
has denied that he is a polygamist, but
he stands for all the doctrines of the
church, polygamy among others. There
is much talk in the press of the West
about deal having been fixed up
among republicans for the seating OF
Smoot in exchange for Mormon influence
in Idaho for the election of republican
Senator from that State. Senator Helt-
field will be succeeded by republican.
The Mormons are more influential in
the elections of Idaho than in any other
State outside of Utah, and this fall they
generally voted the republican ticket
which makes them worthy Of representa-
ton in Congress, whereas had they voted
the democratic ticket they would have
been most unworthy

ANOTHER break in the New York
stock market was reported in yesterday s
Gazette, and the fear that others may
follow is entertained by many conserva-
tives. The Philadelphia Record says:
"The key to the slump in the stock
market is not hard to discover. The
trouble began in the failure of foreign
bankers to make expected loans to pro-
moters. The foreign lenders are calling
in their loans, aud the domestic Dor
rowers are scrambling to meet their en-
gagements. That is sufficient ex-
planation."

SATURDAY EVENING, NOV. Is, 1907

A FEATURE of the conference OF the
M f. Church South in Richmond yes
terday was an address by Bishop Duncan
to a. class of young preachers. He
warned them against tedious sermons
and long prayers, and especially against
aiming Others. The Sermon on the
Mount would occupy about a column
and half of the Gazette, and could be
read in about fifteen minutes, while
Peters sermon on the Day of Pentecost
could probably be read in five minutes
The majority of preachers do not make
multum in parvo their motto, although
it is believed by many in these Gays
that verbosity has but little to do with
the conversion of souls or retaining the
undivided attention Of congregation.
We are well aware of the fact that
preachers are very sensitive, and such
suggestions as those given above are not
always taken in good part, but when 1t
;s remembered that we live in a busy
ace and that life is abbreviated at botn
ends and contracted in the middle, no
GOOD reason can be shown why explana-
lions and explanations of explanations
should be deemed necessary in order to
Get logical people to understand simple
nronositions. Some one will probably
attempt to rebut all this by asking II

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.-Alrs.
II. Gardener, who for many years was
associated with Elizabeth Cady Stanton
in her life work, at memorial services in
honor of the latter made an interesting
statement in Washington Thursday
night. "First of all, d" the speaker said,
carrying a message from the dead to the
living, "she wished it known that she
died, as she had lived, a fearless, serene
agnostic. She worked for the welfare of
the race and believed that any possible
future could and would take care of it.
SELF In pursuance of this idea, it was
her earnest wish that her tireless brain,
when she should be done with it, should
go to Cornell University, that it might
serve science and mankind in helping 20
arrive at the truth, after death, as it had
always done in life. She felt that
a brain like hers would be useful for all
times in the records it would give the
world, for the first time, the scientific
record of a thinker among women"

HELPED BY HIS MOTHER. The III

HELPED BY HIS MOTHER. The I'M
looked-for victory of the Hon. F. Burton
Harrison in the Thirteenth district of
New York, which had been cut out by
the republicans as safe ground for them,
was due in no small degree to the valu-
able aid of his clever mother, who is
one of the best-known literary and society
women of the country. OF course, the
young mans triumph largely was brought
about by the unusually heavy vote develo-
ped by Tammany, but it is also true that
but for the active work of his mother
among the voters he probably would have
been defeated. She made no speeches,
as sometimes is done by her prototypes
in English politics, but profting by the
example of Mrs. Potter Palmer, whose
son year ago was elected to office in
Chicago, Mrs. Harrison held receptions
at her home, and in various other parts
of the district, in the interest of her son.
1t is estimated that she induced 900
republicans to vote for him as a special
favor to her. Mr.. Harrison's wife is a
member of the rich Croker family or
San Francisco, and it is expected that
she will maintain an establishment in
Washington when her husband enters
Congress a year from now that will add
much to the social life of the capital.
