BISHOP cRITIcIZEs CONDITION
OF THE METHODIST CHURCH
Rv Associated Press.


Minneapolis, Mimi, May 2.-Criticism
of the condition which enabled the
church to gain less than two per cent
OF its membership in the last year and
charges that the church press was be-
ing urged las a free forum by the
promoters of disaffection," were made
in the bishops report to the quadren-
NAL conference of the Methodist Epls-
copal church today.
The report contains the bishops
recommendations for the future policy
of the church.
IN the last year" said the report,
"the church has made a net gain or
but $4,000, which is less than two per
cent. as the outcome of the years &C
tivities and the outlay Of many mil
lions of dollars. The statistical para
dcA glares us out Of countenance. 1t
shames and humiliates US. What are
hCnors of offices worth in any army
that does not win battles? No marvel
that some are proposing to reduce the
majors general to post duty"
This was a reference to a proposal
which would limit to a local district
the activities of the bishops whose
jurisdiction now is universal.
Among the reasons for the meagre
growth. as set forth, were a too strict
application of the law of the church
demanding that all members who re-
move from a given community with
out their church letters be dropped
from membership after one year.
"A fair calculation" the report said,
reveals the astounding fact that
probably less than 100000 members
disappeared from our rolls by reckless
use OF the dropping process.
Nevertheless we still face the patent
fact that our distinctive doctrines are
rot being emphasized as they once
were, or, where preached, are dis
credited for the time by a gainsaying
world drunk with vain PHILOSOPHERS
and stated with -sassttonors indulgence

As Cnuldn,t Tell q Lie.

He CouIdn't Tell a lie.
George Washington, the school books
say, could never tell lie
Although he was a married man, but
they don't tell US why.
We'd like to know the inside facts, and
how it was forsooth,
That George could ever get along by
sticking to the truth.
If he should run for president and
party bosses wrote
A platform he could not stand upon to
catch the party vote;
Would he say he'd carry out each plank
right in it's place.
Or would he throw 1t in the air and
pull out of the race?
Would he assure each candidate for
every job in sight
That there was not a. doubt but he'd
get the place all right?
Or would he give up and resign his job
right on the spot?
Perhaps he couldn't tell lie, but times
have changed a lot.

Though faithful does not lose it's char16
To him who slumbers it would stem

Who knows where he can find the

That last year he was wont to use
And his old shoes?
Lives there a man who ever found
His lawn mower till he'd hunted round
The neighborhood about an hour,
With temper sour?
Is there a mower that's been abused
And comes back home fit to be used
without two hours work being done
To make it run?
Lives there a man who does not take
His mower and hide it with his rake
And hires a man to trim his lot?
No, guess not.

Work on the new plant of the Amer lean Thermos company on the old Mason place, Laurel Hnl, is going on nicely, and although the building may not be entirely completed by the mid dle of September, as was at first thought possible, yet the progress of the work is quite satisfactory. There Is force of 100 men at work on the plant and the job is being pushed along as fast as possible.
 Walls Going Up Rapidly.
 The east wall of the building is up one story, while the wall facing the river is up two stories, or on a level with the east wall. The basement floor of the building extends a little over half the width of the building The north end of the plant has been left open to facilitate the hauling in of materials. The sills have been laid for the second story windows on the rear of the building. The beams are nearly all in place for the main floor and part of the flooring has been laid. The heavy floor beams are supported by cement piers. All the stone used in the foundation is secured from ledges in the rear of the building.
 Spur Track Completed.
 The spur track which enters the property north of the building and ex- tends along the entire west side has been completed and makes convenient the unloading of the lumber and other materials from the caHs. The spur track is built up about 20 feet above

 1,700 Foot Water Extension.
 A good sized force of men is at work extending the water main up the Lau- rel Hill road. The extension will be laid as far as the Spicer property, 1,700 feet beyond the Laurel Hill schoolhouse. The line has reached the middle of Whitaker hill, just beyond here is of necessity very slow, owing to the fact that the hill is almost 9 solid ledge, and the trench must be blasted out all the way. The Thermos company's line will join the main line at the entrance to the company S property near the schooIhouse. In the past in the winter time Whitaker hill has been covered with ice a great part of the time, owing to poor drain age, and to remove this nuisance the town is laying a ten-inch drain pipe above the water main.
 Copper Process Plant Nearly Done.
 The new demonstrating plant of the MacKay Copper Process company, on the property north of and adjoining the Thermos site, is well on its way towards completion. The building is of attractive design, finished on the ex- ter1or in cement. The plant is locat- ed in a pretty grove and it is pro- posed to make the grounds an attrac- tive spot The plant will be used to demonstrate the company's process o1 separating copper from the ore by an electrolytic method.
