METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Papers on Church and Social Service
At Toronto.

Toronto, Ont Oct. lf.--Divorce,s so-
cialism, labor unions and wealth were
some of the subjects concerning which
emphatic opinions were expressed by
speakers at the sessions of the Ecu
menical Methodist Conference in this
city today The general topic in hand
was THE Church and Social Service"
The subject of divorce was sharply
discussed by Rev. DIR. Gross Alexander
of Nashville. Tenn. editors of the
Methodist Review. In his address on
THE Social Teachings of Jesus he
asserted that there is Urgent need
for more preachers like DIR. G. G.
Richmond OF Philadelphia, who fear
lessly exposed the inequity of the mar
rage of a divorced millionaire. All
honor to him, and equal honor to the
poor Methodist preacher who natly re-
fused a fee of $4,000 to perform the
ceremony, and then declined gift of
another $4,000 offered to him as re-
ward for doing his duty.
THE easy disruption of the marriage
bond" continued DR.. Alexander,
means the ultimate destruction of the
family and eyitably leads to free love
which even now prevails TO an appall-
ing extent"
Socialism. Christian and anti-Chris-
tan was the topic of Rev. B. B. Had
don of England There is Social
ISM he said. which denies God, ig-
nores the Bible. trifies with family ties
and sacrifices the individual to society.
Such socialism can receive no quarter
from, the Christian. But this type is
wasting away. The leading Socialists
of today are. Christians in spirit and
avurpose. Christian Socialism demands
"a change in modern conditions wnich
are nothing less than a scandal 10

formerly of Lincoln, who is wanted for
passing a worthless check upon a
keeper Of local garage. returned on
the 1.20 a NJ. train Thursday. but
without the man.
Bliss, whose term Of sentence for
the passage of a worthless check upon
a Newton automobile dealer in pay
nent of an automobile expired
Wednesday, is still being held by the
East Cambridge court under a fugitive
from justice warrant. which had been
served upon him before the expiration
OF his sentence.
City Marshal Fletcher was unable
to secure the signature of Governor
Foss to the extradition papers. as he
is absent in another part of the state.
and a staysof proceedings was granted
for week, in-order to obtain the Gov
ernor's signature. Bliss, meanwhile be-
ing held under a fugitive from justice
warrant.
The Lincoln man has employed coun-
sci and is strongly resisting extradi-
ton proceedings. 1t is understood
that the attorney general of Massa-

papers made out in correct form, so
that ii now looks as if, when Governor
