THE METHODISTS
ARE GREAT
Statistics of Much Interest From
Seventeen Countries of the
World.

From press dispatches of last
week of the reports sent out from
Toronto. Canada, of the Decu
menical conference of the Meth.
odist Episcopal churches we give
the following:
The principal subject of dis.
cussion Of the Decumenical con-
ference of the Methodist Episco-
pal churches was the decrease
in membership which had taken
place the world over during the
last decade.
The Western section, compris-
ing the Methodist church in the
United States, Canada and ia
pan. reported during that period
a loss in net membershipincreas
while the Eastern section, COW
ering the churches in Great Brit
ain, Ireland, France, South At
RIGA, Australia and the mission
field, showed an absolute loss in
membership.
In the Western section the in
crease in membership in the de-
cade ending 1891 was 1861, ,O9,
while in the last decade it was
only 437, ,562, the latter increase
being but Is per cent. as con-
trasted with the former Of 33
percent cent IRiiIssac his, according to H.
K. Carroll Of New York, secre-
tary of that section, was due to
a decrease in earnestness.
INCREASE IN RECENT YEARS.
In Great Britain, according to
the Rev. Simpson Johnson of
London, secretary of the West
minister Methodist conference,
the various Methodist bodies
gained about 10000 members
during the last 10 years, but in
the last half of the decade there
was a notable decrease attribted,
he thought, to conditions out
side the church and a weaken
ing of forces to meet changed So
cia! conditions.
Bishop Eugene Hendrix of the
Methodist church, South, in dis
cussing the religious problems
of the negro and the mainten-
ance of a pure home in the midst
of adverse conditions, took oc-
casion to refer to the recent Beat
tie murder trial:
Thank God there is a place
where women, as spectators. do
not atteni. such a trial." he said.
Thank God for a jury which
sought Divine guidance in reach

l want to stop here and give
you some ammunition to fight
two popular mistakes.
Some people will tell you that
the dying of the pine is due to
the dry weather.
You can tell them that when
a tree dies from drouth the
roots and lower part of the
trunk die first, and if they
will look at the pines that are
dying to-day, they will find the
lower port Of the trunk very
much alive.
Some people will tell you that
large white worms called borers
or sawyers ssbat make a hole in
the wood are responsible for the
death of the pine. This is GER
tainly a mistaken idea, but q
very natural one on account of
the size of the sawyer and the
noise it makes when at work.
It has long since been deter
mined, however, that this class
lof borers never bore into
healthy, uninjured pine; and,
Furthermore, gentlemen, they
could not kill it if they did.
You can't kill a pine by making
holes in it-vou have to girdle
it. For example, long leaf pine
is boxed each year for turpen-
Zine. making very severe
wouflaa@@and it does not neces-
sarily die. Sugar NAPLES are
tapped each year fof- sap anu
still live.
| now come to the point on
which absolutely depends the
|success or failure of our efforts
to control the beetle. Remem-
Der that these beetles can fly for
three or four miles. Therefore,
|if YOU have sound timber and
your neighbor has beetles in his
pines and does not attend to
them during the winter, when
spring comes, the beetles from
his trees are just as likely to
attack your pines as those OF
any one else.
We must have cooperation.
We must get every one to cut
4 their dying infested timber in
November, and destroy the
bark during the coming winter.
As individuals you are help
less. AS a community you can
control the beetle and stop the
dying Of the pine.
The Department of Agricul-
ture through the Bureau of En-
tomology has established a
Forest Insect Field Station at
Spartanburg, S. c., from which
to give practical advice founded
on scientific research.
In November the Bureau of
Entomology at Washington will
send out thousands Of circulars
giving specific directions how
to control this beetle. We
should like to have every one OF
YOU gentlemen write to us and
give us the location 0. dead and
dying pine in your neighbor-
hood. Those of you who have
healthy timber now can keep it
healthy by showing your neigh
Dor how to dispose of the infest-
alton on his land.
If we had the location of all
infested timber to-day, and
were in touch with the owners
so as to secure complete CO.
operation, we might be able to
advise a simultaneous summer
cutting and burningof the bark
over large areas. but you can
easily understand that this can
not be safely undertaken until
every one knows exactly what
to do and how to do it,
| want to sum up in Us few
words as possible what | have
said:
First. Don't cut any living
or dead timber during the sum-
mer months without sp( cific ad-
vice. This is to protect your
own timber.

THE DYING
OF THE PINE

Cause and Remedy--An Address
Delivered by E. B. Mason,
at the Fair.
GsSpLEMEN:-During the ear
ly part of this summer DR.. A.
D. Hopkins, who has charge OF
Forest Insect Investigation and
all Forest Insect Field Stations
for the Bureau of Entomology,
Department of Agriculture, at
Washington. D. G., made a
trip through parts of the South
to get first-hand information on
the dying of the pine, reported
by our correspondents. He
found much infested timber in
which the broods of the South
ern pine beetle were In a
healthy and thriving condition.
The great number OF holes in
the bark of the dead trees in
which the broods of the beetle
had developed, and from which
they had emerged, indicated the
presence of the beetle in large
numbers.
It has been known for more
than forty years that the beetle
has existed in the Southern
states. but it apgsasssso oYexsss;
sathstssa4aa los1g intervals does
it Increase to such large num-
bers as to cause widespread
depreciation, such as, for exam
pie, the great invasion of 1896
'93, which destroyed a very
large percentage of all the pine
in the Virginias.
. The increase in the number
of pines killed each year and in
the size of the groups consti-
tutes the danger signs.ss of an
outbreak with resulting wide
spread depredations, These are
Just the conditions found in the
localities observed-l am quot
ing DR.. Hopkins exact words:
And from the, reports received
from different sections OF the
South, ranging from Texas to
Virginia, it is evident that they
prevail throughout at least the
greater part of the short leaf
pine belt. Therefore, there is
every reason to belieye'-l am
still quoting DR.. Hopkins-that
unless prompt and properly di-
rected action is taken by owners
of pine timber throughout this
region during the coming win
ter, a large percentage of the
best old, as we'll as middle-aged
and young pine, will be killed
within the next two or three
years. /"
I am not going to waste a sin.
Gle word on the dead pines
they are gone. Those Of you
who have seen them will agree
with me that it is a sad sight,
What we want to do is to
show you how to save the pine
that is left.
This beetle, that is killing our
pine, is not a new discovery. 1t
has always been with us. In
the early days when it was de-
sired to clear a piece Of pine
land for Agricultural purposes it
was customary, during the sum
nner months, to cut a small liv-
ing pine and let it lean against
a larger standing tree. The sur
rounding timber quickly died.
Our ancestors did not know
what killed the pine. They
only know that it was killed,
and that quickly. Scientific IN
vestigations by Dr.. Hopkins, to
whom we owe all our informa-
ton on this subject, has shown
that it was caused by identi-
cally the same beetle that is
killing the pine throughout the
South at the present time.
The very same condition ex-
lists to-day. If:you cut a living
tree during the summer months
the beetle will be attracted by
the smell of the pitch and will
attack and kill the surrounding
timber.

"In Search Of a Sinner


'In Search Of a Sinner" the comedy
which Lillian Russell will present at
the opera house on Feb. 14th is
new vehicle expressly written for the
famous beauty by Charlotte Thomp
son. 1t is in three acts and depicts
scenes of current fashionable life in
New York City. The central charac-
ter Of the story Is unique creation
and in keeping with the modernity of
the theme of the comedy. Miss Rus
sell is seen as widow who wants to
marry again. She is recovering from
the boredom Of ten years monotonous
existence with model husband. The
widow longs to win man who will
make her struggle to get him and who
has known enough Of the world to be
able to appreciate her love as a thing
to be fought for at all times. Into the
picture is flashed former New York
er but recently returned from the west
where he has accumulated fortune
The widow falls in love with him and
to her CONSERVATION discovers that he
is a model of propriety and the best
fellow in the world as her friends tell
her but such a good man that he might
almost be called an angel Having
been flirting with the occult and the
dynamic force of suggestion the widow
and her maid set about to put their
studies into action and force the good
young man to appear a sinner that he
may come with some claim for the
widows hand other than that of strict
rectitude. Their suggested force b.
gins to work and things are progress
ing at merry clip when the heroine
with feminine charm discovers thst
she wants to change her views and
learns that she does not want a sinner
after all but a good man. The object
of her affections Is about to run .,ff
with an actress and how she can make
him see things in their true color Is
the point of interest that leads to the
plays unraveling. The fact that be-
fore this the widow had posed as her
sister-in-law and made her admirer
believe she Is flirting with him even
though she is the wife of his best
friend supplies the comedy with one
of the most diverting and unusual sit
uations. 1t is all Strengthened out in
good effect but not before a series of
threatening complications have in
volved the principals.
Miss Russell is seen in a production
that is exceptionally elaborate for a
play of this kind and its three scenes
