METHoDlsTs ADJOURN.
Most Remarkable Gathering
church's History at an End

II was after midnight on Sunday
when the general conference of the
Methodist Episcopal church closed
its session at Los Angeles.
The conference just closed has ac-
complished much for the interest of
the Methodist church and will go
down In church history as one of the
most important in the point of legis-
lative action.
The action OF the general confer.
ence in retiring five bishops and elect
ing eleven others probably attracted
the widest attention OF any other
single happening: but there were
many other subjects that affected the
great membership OF the church and
which were watched with deep inter-
est. Among these were;
The decision TO stand by the pres.
ent attitude OF the church on the sub
jet OF prohibited amusements: the
refusal to return TO the time limit
of pastoral service; the generating

WEAKNESS OF STRONG MEN.
No One Absolutely Free from All Me"
ner Of Defect.

Those who are seeking through
study of superior men to make them
selves at least less inferior are often
puzzled and baffied by the discovery
of characteristics that seem absolute
ly incompatible with greatness. There
is hardly q great man whose life Is at
all accurately known In whom there
was not weakness that would de-
stroy an ordinary man-sometimes
mental weakness, as utter lack OF
Judgment; sometimes moral weak.
ness; again, physical weakness.
But is there on record q single case
of o great man who had not through
his character q certain toughness of
fiber which made him free from the
common weakness of whining and
rushing about for refuge at the first
black lift OF adversely? Is not that
fundamental sense of insecurity, or
inability to stand alone, the great en-.
emy we all have to fight? Is 1t not
the enemy that drives some to the
false courage Of drink, others to stink
and crawl along the byways Of indi.
rection and crime, many, many others
to resign the guidance OF their desti.

hardly an effort to thing or do for
themselves ?-Saturday Evening Post.
