The Work of Conference.

The general conference of the
M. E. church, South, is now in
session in Birmingham, Alabama.
This is the fifteenth general con-
ference since the old church was
divided in 1864, by which step
it became two organizations, the
northern and southern. This
division was made by an almost
unanimous vote of the entire
church, the largest number OF
voters being in the northern
limits.
1t was agreed at that time that
the northern branch would not
invade the southern territory and
that the southern branch would
not invade the northern
territory. The southern branch
has ever observed this agreement
with the most solemn integrity.
This is the only law making
body known to the church. 1t
meets once every four years, at
which time it attends to all
other matters pertaining to the
church at large, as well as to the
election of Bishops, who hold
Office for life; but they like other
ministers, are subject to trial and
such penalties as are deemed to
be best for the cause of the Christ,
even to expulsion.
The present conference is COM
posed of three hundred and four
teen members, elected by the
various annual conferences. One
representative for every fifty
travelling preachers. One-half
of the number are laymen, who
are elected by the lay element.
This conference takes into its re-
view and statistics the results of
the four preceding years. When
the Civil war closed and the peo-
pie had rallied sufficiently to
meet and collect the scattered
membership there could be found
only about four hundred thou.

ed in forty-two years I,2I4, 64S.
The net increase in the last four
years is 1oo,427. Sunday school
scholars, 1,o3o,785; foreign mis-
sions, 1859 o41; for church ex-
tention 1872, ,64o. 80. The
church is building a house of
worship every sixteen hours, day
and night, and Sundays included,
and has been tor the last four
years.
There are eleven Bishops and
two will be elected at this con-
ference. There are manv grave
questions before the conference,
among those, is, how they will
be able to enter the doors that are
opening on every hand in foreign
lands and calling for the gospel
and how they will be able to
carefully respond to calls in this
great North west. Peace reigns

report every quarter. M.

who let's his calves run WITH the

if separated and shipped to a

income every year.

The Inside Facts

RUT in what sense is it true that the working people
are excluded from the churches? From large
number, probably from a large majority of the
Christian churches of this country, they are not
excluded at all. The Roman Catholic churches, as
a rule, make them welcome, and they find many
people of their class in these churches that
they cannot complain of being out of their element
There also a large number of Protestant
churches whose membership is drawn from the hum
blest classes, and in which working men would GER
tan1y feel at home. do refer to mission chapels
maintained by charity for the benefit of the poor
self respecting working men might not care to
accept such dole-I refer to independent self
supporting churches, worshiping in plain buildings
and conducted in inexpensive ways. Such churches
of various creeds generally are found in working
class districts; and there nothing in the dress
style of the congregations in the social life of

the people, that would cause the average mechanic
or day laborer any embarrassment, if he accepted
their invitation and entered into their fellowship.
There are in this country, and especially in the
neighborhoods inhabited by working men, thou
sands of such churches which cannot by stretch
OF criticism be accused of adopting the principle
OF the closed shop; from which self respecting
working man imagine himself to be excluded.
There are, however, large number of churches,
and these the most prominent and influential
churches, of which nothing like this could be said
They are churches in which the average working
man and his wife and children would not feel at
home; in which, though formal barriers
erected against him. the conditions such that
II he sought to become habitual worshiper in
them he would be utterly out of his element
This does not mean that working man in plain
clothes would be snubbed i'll treated if he pre-
sented himself at the doors of these churches on
Sunday morning. Such things may have occurred
but think that they very infrequent. Most
OF these churches receive most Hospitality and
treat most cordially any man. rich or poor, coming
to their doors.
The most competent witness this subject is
Walter A. Wyckoff, who after months of experience
as working man, during which time he went to
church every Sunday in his working clothes testi-
fed that he once failed of friendly greeting
Il sure, he says, in the first venture or two
that the circumstances were exceptional, and that
l had CHANGED upon churches which, although most
evidently of the rich, yet watchful for every
opportunity of welcoming the poor. 1t was not
till l had made the rounds of many churches of
many denominations that l realized how general
and how sincere among them is the spirit of hos
pitality to the working poor

In the Wrong Place

Mr.. WYcKoFF generally found himself the only
class of the working poor That fact would not incline
him to return, no matter how Hospitality he might
have been received And in truth the hospitality
cordial and sincere as it may be- could not hide
from the average working the fact that these
fashionable churches places for him. In
speaking of the in the Chicago boarding
house when he had found his home he SAYS: Il dis
covered that all had been less in the habit of
church going in their country homes, but that this
habit had dropped completely from them on coming
to live in town. The cause perfectly apparent.
The mere suggestion of mission church was in
sulting to them, and from the new idea of churches
for the rich they had learned their first lesson in
class distinctions. Every feature of such church.
its richly dressed occupants in their high priced
pews, and the general atmosphere of merely social
superiority, would have inflicted upon these men, in
spite of cordial welcome as deep wound to their
self respect they would have felt in being decoyed
to formal reception in lady's drawing ROOM To
them the latter function could not be obviously
intended for another class than theirs"
Such then, is the fact. Class distinctions not
only recognized in the churches they accentu-

subscribe to its creed and pay its dues? The priv
ilege of worship is, indeed, great boom and one
does not like to think of shutting out anyone who
it; but the privilege of work is great boon,
too-one does not wish to see it limited.
Is not the who denounces the exclusive
church rather pledged to carry his crusade into the
industrial world, and make upon the closed
shop? And if man advocates the exclusion of
all but those of his elect company from the
workshop the mine where he his daily
bread, what fault has he to find with the churches
which practically exclusive clubs run for the
benefit of their members?
Rule Already Applied
TT may be answered that many of the most
= fashionable churches of this character; that
the principle of the closed shop has been applied
widely to church organizations Of course, it is
not true that any of them by rule exclude those
who do not belong to their class but the exclusion
is the less effective This is fact of which
working we'll aware, and often hear
from them bitter complaints about it.
With the spirit of those complaints l entirely
sympathze; and l have been doing what 1 can to
get the principle of the closed shop abandoned in
the religious world 1t is the one thing that | hate
and fear. | want to abolish it utterly; | want to
every Christian church the home, not merely
of people of class but of people of all classes,
the rich and the poor meeting together and owning
the Lord Who is the Maker of them all.
l do believe most heartily in labor unions; if I
were working l should be a member of one,
and should do my best to get all my workmates to
join it. If all the workmen in every trade
members of the union, there would be question
of closed shop; until they are doubt the expe-
diency well the justice of Furnishing them for
not joining.
