 METHODIST CHURCH

London, August 15.-Many prominen, eMthodists made plea at the annual Wesleyan conference held at Leeds for a revival in the Methodist church. The need for such an effort. it was stated was acknowledged on every side. Al] the churches reported q falling away ir membership and lack of enthusiasm of those who remained in outward con nection with the church.
 Methodist prayer meetings, said the Rev. s. F. Collier, former president o1 the conference. had suffered terribly by getting into routine What thev needed today was the note triumphant While the rest of the world had been raising the standard they of the church had been lowering it. Tt is bad form to be enthusiastic in the pulpit nowa- days. It is bad form to be enthusiastic anywhere about religion. I suppose in some pulpits if I cultivated a dolefuI voice and heavy manner I should be looked upon as scholar and rank above an evangelist"
