Toronto, Oct. PA Methodist in
ternational commission was estab-
lished action of the Ecumenical Metho
dist Conference here today. With a
membership. of one hundred of the
present delegates to be appointed
later, it will act during the decennial
interims between meetings or the
conference. While it's function will
be confidently advisory in such church
and UNCONVENTIONAL matters as may
come within it's scope, it will also at
tempt to use the influence Of the 3d.
600, 900 M~ethodists it represents in
forwarding certain world movements
for peace and justice.
The conference adopted tOday an
address relative to the present status
and opportunities Of Methodism. and
upon the suggestion of the business
committee ordered hat it be sent to
every one Of the 100000 and more
Methodist congregations throughout
the world.
Extracts From the Address.
The history of Methodism,' the
address sets forth in part, is of I'M
told Importance. was
destined to give a new course to the
history Of Christian religion. 1t has
been used to quicken the life Of other
churches and to call forth a new
spirit Of aggressive evangelism.
Methodism is yet in it's beginning.
The spirit Of the twentieth century
is even more congenial to it than
were the preceding two. A growing
sense of the leadership Of Jesus
Christ is coming upon the world.
We are compelled to assert the SUI
premacy Of Christ in every depart
ment of human life. Denomina-
tionaliSm is not Sectarianisfn, and
does not involve antagonism to other
branches of the church. For the
present, at n rate, there is a place
and a need for denominations. Eff
forts must be made to establish a
universal Christian civilization"
Other Business.
The work Of the church with re-
lation to young people was discussed
