What the Methodists Are Doing.

The great Ecumenical Conference
of the Methodist church, which has
been in session in Toronto for the
past ten days, has been an event of
Importance not only to Methodists
but to all Christians and to the
world at large. All branches of
Methodism have been represented
and the sessions have been devoted
to considering methods for lettering
the condition of humanity at large
rather than TO the narrow interests
of enominationalism or sectorian-
ism. The Baltimore Sun has made
a summary of facts in connection
with this conference which We find
of interest. The Sun prefaces it's
editorial with this:
"Methodism was born in great
missionary movement, and for more
than a century has gone marching
on it's way around the globe. From
the days of Wesley it has observed
the call to go into all the world and
has done it's part in bringing nearer
the time when the gospel shall be
preached to every living creature. Its
enlistment of men Of every land and
tongue is exemplified in the Ecumen-
ical conference now in session in
Toronto. Seventeen countries are
represented by the 500 delegates, and
the statisticians assert that the va-
rious bodies of Methodists now en-
brace 100000 communicates, with
3e,cOO,OO0 adherents under Metho-
dist influence.
The Sun further says that no Pro-
testant denomination has shown more
remarkable growth than the Metho-
dists, and there appears to be little
ground for pessimism in regard to
the future.
DR.. H. K. Carroll pointed out in
an address at Toronto tina: in the
past decade there has been an in
crease of but 437,562, or Is per cent
compared with 1,2l6,209, or 33 per
cent, in the decade ending in 1891.
But this is only relative, and a de-
nomination that can show 4 net in
crease of over 100000 in ten years
is certainly moving forward.
While conditions in England are
not so favorable as in America ac-
cording to the accounts of Rev.
Simpson Johnson and Rev. Henry
Haigh, the reports from the mission
fields are more than gratifying. Rev.
William Williams declares that
"every tenth person in Australia is a
Methodist" while the conferences in
China, Japan, India. Africa, and 9TH
er mission fields have membership
of 70S,105, 1,444,292 adherents and
45S,165 in the Sunday schools.
There are 1928 missionaries in
actice service, while there are So
97S ordained ministers in the home
conferences, the consecrated captains
who lead vast army of worshippers.
The address of President Lewis,
of the Methodist Protestant General
conference for a union of al Amert-
can Methodists into one body was
an eloquent plea for closer COOP
Grafton of the II separate bodies,
which now bear the Methodist name.
Heretofore neither the efforts for
"organic union" nor for c0nsolida-
ton have been entirely successful.
But whether the Methodists main
tain their distinctive organizations
or unite in one immense body, they
will continue to be one OF the most
virile and energetic divisions of the
Church Militant.

Sandy's gun went back into his hol-

voice was Mrs. Burrows, the wife of

to rob Sandy OF all he had in the

IT'S a CO." he called to the enemy,
and then, trusting to the chivalry Of
the frontier, paid no more attention
to them and devoted himself to the
rescue of the feminine voice.
Down in cleft, between two great
trees that had given up their lives
and had sought rest on the ground,
enmeshed in blackberry bushes, with
torn garments and disheveled hair,
he found her. She was sobbing as he
came. He treasured her, and had
led her from the thicket out into the
open, before his late adversaries came
upon them.
They grouped themselves silently
around. Sandy glared at them I'M
compromisingly. Two of them had
rudely bandaged arms, and one had
the haggard look of a man who has
lost much blood. Dimly the woman
realized that she had interrupted a
tragedy.

she looked at the men. Then, turn.

years Of longing for 1t. Anyway,
thinking took time, and he must find
the right way out
So Sandy told Mrs. Burrows that
he had good cabin below here, and
that she must be his guest that night
at least, and until her men got
camp established. He urged his hos
pitality, and the foreman added his
insistence.
AS they walked down the trail and
came in sight of its homely comfort,
she went into ecstacies over It's trim
ness and picturesqueness, and over
the great, majestic view of peaks and
valleys that stretched away in the dis
lance from the brow of tho hill. But
every word of praise, that but few
days ago would have gladdened the
big mans heart, was as a knife-thrust,
searching out and opening up to him
those things which he had always
seen and felt, but could not have put
into words.

head up where the eyes could be

1t wasn't very reassuring tale that
Sandy listened to that night, and when
he went out to roll himself into his
blankets beneath the stars, having
surrendered his rooftree to his guest,
sleep failed to close his eyelids. He
was fighting a battle which must be
his alone.

She turned toward them as Sandy
sternly motioned to them to keep ST.
lence. They saw from his attitude
that something inexplicable had hap
pened, and acquiesced. They stood
awkwardly, while she looked from one
to the other in vague questioning.

the shattered elbow, and Sandy loved
him for the lie.
Yes, jest an accident" glibly
chimed in the foreman.
They looked from one to the other,
and the foreman brought relief by
suggesting that it was time to make
camp. One man began the opening
of their packs, while the wounded
were cared for. Sandy took grim
satisfaction from the thought that the
shot that caught the elbow had been
n good one. But there was the wo-
man.

Yes. You see. my full name Is

died, that it comes natural now"
And her laughter smote upon him as
blow.
