ORIGIN OF METHODIsM.
Editor Intermountain Catholic: Who was the
founder of the Methodist church, and why was it
called Methodism? LAURA WHITE.

The Methodist church in America presents some
strange peculiarities in it's origin and orpauiza-
ton It acknowledges as its founder and apostle,
Rev. John Wesley, who ordained clergymall
of the Established church of England Born at Er-
worth, England 1903, he entered Oxford at the age
of seventeen finished his theological course and YVES
ordained minister of the Established church. His
first mission curate to his father who was also
an Anglican minister. Under the influence of his
brother, Charles, who remained in Oxford after him.
his zeal was aroused at the axty of morals and ire
ligious spirit that prevailed at the time The
brother, with some other Students formed little
society. Of this society Charles Wesley wrote:
Diligence led me into serious thinking. [ went
to the weekly Sacrament and persuaded two or three
young scholars to accompany me; and likewise to
utes of the university This gained me the harm
less nickname of Methodist"
John Wesley, returning to Oxford, joined the So
ciety. Both brothers, ordained in the Anglican
church, refused to accept any curacy but preached
everywhere, visiting prisons and the poor

stay in America was not long nor happy. Charles,
who appointed secretary of Indian affairs. and
private secretary to General Oglethorpe, being bit
tery prosecuted by of the colonists, soon re-
turned to England. John Wesley, who was strong
supporter of the Church of England insisting ON all
its ceremonies and rites and refusing all communion
with dissenters, did not leave Georgia till he was
confronted with several charges one of which was

RECALL OF Mr.. CRANE.

The recall Of Minister Crane ON the eve of his
departure for China, where he was going to repre-
sent the United States at the court of Pekin, en-
phasizes the necessity of diplomacy in our diplo-
matists Mr.. Cranes utterances in his public
speeches very likely indiscreet else the state
department would have passed over them, and the
minister been allowed to continue his Journey and
take up his duties. If the state department judges
rightly of the utterances of the minister his use
fulness as a diplomatist was seriously impaired
His lapses Of speech, however, were of compar-
atively mild nature, and it may be that he was re-
called because he talked too freely his freedom of
speech indicating lack of that diplomacy which
should be the portion of all entrusted with of
fetal business. The real dplomatist is one who can
utter platitudes which sound we'll yet mean moth
ing, and who make after-dinner speech as
innocent of wrong Interpretation as it is full of
good feeling and wittcisms.
We believe the appointment of Mr. Crane as
minister to China was his first public office. No
doubt he was animated by desire to represent his
government in dignifed and becoming manner,
but the fact that he talked too much about things
of which he should have said nothing indicates that
his enthusiasm ran away with his discretion Be-
ing diplomatist is job for a man who looks we'll
in the conventional dress of the American diplo-
matte corps, and who tell the reporters who are
sent to interview him what fine town they live in
and how wonderful is their climate and make the
public believe it. Our British representative could
no doubt make Londoners believe that London fog
was marvel of comfort, and his references to any
subject concerning the relations of America and

DEATH OF SISTER RAYMOND.

Sister Raymond is dead, was the news that came
from St. Mary's, Indiana last Wednesday. She
was one of the two Sisters of the Holy Cross who
to Salt Lake in May, 1875 to found st. Mary's
Academy. With her, companion, Mother NJ Angus
ta she labored devot eddy 81 zealously in founding
the first institution Of their PEder beyond the Rocky
Mountains They 3isitef NvsYyy mining camp in
went. Their hardships, travelling in stages and
climbing mountains cheerf1fly borne be-
cause their mission was one of love. For many
years after the completion of st. Mary's, Sister
Raymond taught in the academy and acted as one
of the chief advisers for the superiors. Since her
recall from Salt Lake she lived at the mother house

called Catholic countries, she has means of in
fuencing the great corporations, and she has little
hope of directing individual capitalists, for the
ramifcations of commerce are intricate and beyond
her control.
But today she is brought face to face with COM
bnatlons and societies for the protection of labor,
and her attitude towards these societies claims the
earnest attention of her Catholic subjects.
No doubt can exist that she is anxious that the
laborer should obtain his rights; the right to his
own support, the right to maintain his family suit
ably, the right to maintain his honor and his man
hood. 1t Is equally clear that she does not object
to combinations to maintain these rights, since she
sanctified and identified herself with the craft
guilds of the middle ages But the difficulty arises
in the nature and practice of these combinations;
she cannot sanction injustice, she cannot sanction
lawlessness, she cannot sanction untenable and,
very often destructive theories of communism and
radical Socialism. She condemns injustice alike in
the employer and the employed.

TIE HISTORIAN FR0UDE ON THE
CHURCH.

10 the Editor Sir:-Allow me to supplement
The tribute of praise and admiration paid to the
Catholic church by the late Methodist bishop, DR..
Foster, by citation from James Anthony Froude's
work on the Revival of Romanism." Froude
in early manhood in Anglican Orders but, separat-
ing himself from the ministry he became an ag-
nosic and devoted his time and talents exclusively
to literature His dislike to everything Irish and
Catholic perverted his critical sense and, at times
, inflicted upon him mental blindness which, sub
Jectivey obscured if it did not entirely obliterate
truth. Mr.. Froude visited the United States some
thirty years ago, and delivered to a select audience
in New York City series of lectures on he Ell
elish in Ireland" While Mr.. Froudc was vet en-
gagged in justifying the rascay of the Parlianents
Of Great Britain in their legislation for the Irish
people, the famous Dominican orator. Father
Tom" Burke was lecturing to immense audiences
N Boston. Father Bourke, learning of Froude's
mission, cancelled his New England engagements

insoluble problems, which he admits in the body of
The extract taken from his tract on the Revival Of
Romanisln. Here are his acknowledgements. his ad-
missions and his questions:
The tide of knowledge and the tide of outward
events have set with equal force in the direction op-
posite to Romanism Yet in spite of it, perhaps by
means of it. as kite rises against the wind, the
Roman Catholic Church has once more shot up into
visible and practical consequence. If she loses
ground in Spain and Italy she is gaining in the
modern energetic races which have been the strong
hold of Professionalism. Her members Increase her
organization gathers strength her clergy are ener
getic and aggressive. She has taken into her SER
vice her old enemy the press and has established
popular literature.
What is the meaning of so strange phenom-
onon! Is it because science is creeping like snake
upon the ground, eating dust and bringing forth
materialism, that the Catholic Church, in spite of
her errors keeps alive the consciousness of our spir
itual being, the hope and expectation of our immor
tality."
You will notice in this extract, Mr. Froude in
his bewilderment uses the terms Romanism. Roman
Catholic Catholic as correlatives forgetting that
one is epithet another patronymic and the 9th
or a universal. Elsewhere in his remarkable tract
the historian makes the unwilling admission that:
Rome counts her converts from Professionalism by
while she loses but here and there an unmpor-
tant unit" W.R.H

The recent death of Dudley Buck takes from
the American musical world one of it's most in
fuential members. His contributions to the church
music of America were prolific end educational in
aim and it is safe say that some of his work will
become permanent. That in the days of his prime
he ranked high in the music world of this country
IS evidenced by the fact that he chosen to give
musical setting to Sidney Laniers Centennial
Cantata in 1876. His organ studies too, give per-
feet evidence of his mastery of the technique of
that instrument. His death is a distinct loss to
America and American music

Extract, from address delivered by Mr. W. 7. r.
Preston, Canadian Commissioner to Japan. in
Parkdale Presbyterian church, Toronto Toronto
Mail and Empire Aug. 30:
The duty of the west is to evangelize the east.
and that work must be done in Japan But nv two
years residence in that country satisfy me that
the evangelization of the japanese can never be
accomplished by the present system. There is not
in Japan today more than one Christian mission

teligent audience to listen to- / have no hesitation
in saying that the sooner the churches wake up +,

of the missionaries at and the balance within
five years, Instead of sending out lot of boys and
girls to Christianze the japanese and Chinese, men
and women of the greatest intelligence and expert
ence of human need and human difficulties should
be sent, all of whom should have had ten years in
our western world cities.
The Roman Catholic Church had converted
100000 Japs to Christianity but the combined
Protestant Churches, with their immense resources,
could not claim 10000. The Protestant Churches
had better amalgamate and send out commission
to study the situation the spot for at least year,
and when they had gathered all the facts they could
return and report. When that report was made,
Christendom would awake and say the present sys-
TEN was farce and sham"
Extract. from Mr.. Windsor Earl's "The Eastern
Seas" oh. xii, p 1913:
"The labors of the Protestant missionaries have
been absolutely thrown away; they have invariably
remained at the chief settlements of the Europeans,
and the effects of their labors are rarely heard of
except through the medium of missionary publica-
tons brought here from England"
Extrace, from Mr.. J. D'Ewes' "China and Co.
rea," chap viii, p. POI:
There is both an American and English school
for the education of Chinese children. but | hear
not very we'll attended, nor could l discover any
traces of Protestant missionary labors in the in
terror. By far the most extraordinary establish
ments [ saw at Shanghai we're two Jesuit colleges.
Nothing can exceed the order and regularity and
apparent harmony with which these extensive es-
adjustments are carried out. The priests taught
sculpture, painting, music, languages, ETC., ETC.
When it is considered how extremely difficult it is
to obtain even a smattering of the Chinese Ian
guage and how few Europeans amongst the com
mercial class, and even amongst our own Protest
anti missionaries and diplomatists, arrive at any
thing like proficiency, then the self-denying and
hard labor and study of these priests is truly won
