Growth of Methodi.m.

by $4,000 last year. and now have an
actual membership OF 100000 Tn.
largest increases in Methodists strength
are being made in the regions from PhiIa-
delphia. southwest to Washington, and
into West Virginia: in Indiana. Kentucky.
and Southern Ohio. and in Central New
York west along the shores of Lake Erie
to Detroit
In the Southwest. through Alabama.

property. holding now t2o0 oOo.o 900 in
churches and $35, 900 900 more In parishes.
giving SIS coo for maintenance, and

The Washington herald., 1914-02-01

is observed very little effort to teach
theological views. In fact. there is con-
siderable opposition shown in some hymns
toward the lifelessness of older creeds
and dogmas. The note OF social passion
is sounded in many Of these hymns. some
OF which are already incorporated in a
number of church hymnals. As yet in
churches the hymns OF social aspiration
are not largely used. They care In the
hymnals for Use as soon as the social
consciousness Of the churchgoers is suf-
ficiently developed. The older individual
istic hymns have the greater claim.
Efforts have before been made to form
a collection of social hymns, though the
survey collection is the largest. Nearly
ten years ago the Brotherhood OF the
Kingdom began a collection OF such
hymns and printed them in book form
for use in the organizations conferences.
These hymns were selected for their
bearing on the idea OF brotherhood and
the kingdom of God as the social thought
OF Jesus and the theme OF His preaching.
Also in the Pleasant Sunday Afternoon
movement in England. like the Chartist
movement of former years. developed
hymns OF social character. But much de-
pends on the hold that such hymns may
have in the deeper spiritual feeling Of
the singers in order to have their great
est value in fostering and forwarding
any movement. When once a people. or
a group representing some vital move
ment. begin heartily TO sing progress be-
comes assured.
1t Is that which goes deeper than the
intellect. stirs the heart. and quickens
the conscience, that lifts the plane OF life.
To this quickening the songs of a people
contribute, IL they express the common
need, feeling and aspiration. In this age
when such emphasis is put on social re-
lations and type OF life. hymns and songs
have a place of service.

THE TREND OF THINGS
IN THE HIGHER REALM

It is reported from Rome that NJ.
Combs. the Prime Minister Of France.
who brought about the separation of
poleonic concordat. has returned to the
church. He was for some years regarded
as foe OF the church. The Vatican an
nounces that the former Prime Minister
is to go to Rome and be received by the
Pope. When young man NJ. Combs
attended seminary and had even taken
minor orders with the intention of be-
coming a priest.
Meanwhile. under the plan Of a free
church. unhampered by politics and State
limitations, 1t is said that the Catholic
Church in France has advanced as not
before in hundred years. New churches
have been built especially in cities. Gifts
have come from the people in amounts
unheard OF In the days when priests were
on government payrolls.
The international Sunday school lesson
executive committee has just met in Chi
cago to go over the graded lesson situa-
ton. This committee has for years So

there is friction. Criticism is largely
among Presbyterians North and South.
Methodists North and South and Rap-
lists South.
Criticism in part is directed toward tho
assignment of lessons and toward the
material. not found in the Bible, which
il introduced. and complaint is made that
not sufficient emphasis is put on some
great evangelical truths. In the latter
particular Presbyterians have recently
been recasting the lessons. The inter-
national committee has decided on a
new graded form of different lessons for
beginners, primary. junior. intermediate.
and senior. five in all. An effort by the

BIBLE CONFERENCE.

The great midwinter Bible conference
for which the ministers OF Washington
have arranged. and which will convene
here on Sunday. February s. continuing
until the following Sunday, February 10
is attracting to its sessions the greatest
speakers on the Bible and religious sub
tects which the world knows.
Prominent among the list appears the
name Of DIR. G. Campbell Morgan. OF
London. England. DIR. Morgan is one OF
the leading churchmen of the world. and
is acknowledged to be the greatest ex-
positor of the Scriptures. His sermons
and lectures are published. and very few
ministers are without some of his works.
He Is pastor OF Westminster Chapel
London. and breaches every Sunday to a
crowded church. Dr. Morgan has crossed
the Atlantic forty-two times during the
last twenty years. but he has never be-
fore addressed any conference outside
OF the Winona, Mortified, and Atlanta
conferences. The committee here has re-
ceived word that he started early from
London. will be here for the opening ses-
sin OF the conference on February s, and
will remain during the entire week.
This fact is guarantee of the strength
OF the entire conference.
Another prominent speaker will be Dr.
John Henry Jowett, pastor OF the Fifth
Avenue Baptist Church. New York City
DR.. Jowett is known throughout America
and Great Britain as one of the greatest
authors and preachers of the day. When
DR.. Jowett left England a few years ago
he was requested by the king and queen
personally to remain in England and con-
tinue his work there. but the call from
across the water was strong. and he came
to America to add his name to the galaxy
of great American preachers. II is a
very exceptional thing for DR.. Jowett to
address any meetings outside OF his own
church, and this opportunity for WASH
ington people to hear him Is one which
will be grasped eagerly.
Accompanying DIR. Morgan from London
is DR.. William Souper, NJ. A, pastor of
Clapham Commons Presbyterian Church,
of London. DR.. Souper is a young man.
but he has achieved an enviable position
in matters of Biblical instruction and
Christian work. At Crathie. his first
parish, he was honored by the friendship
of the late Queen Victoria and King
Edward, and often made visits to the
Queens household.
One of the famous speakers from this
side OF the waters will be Prof Camden
NJ. Cobern, D. D., OF Allegheny College.
Meadville, Pa. DR.. Cobern occupies the
Thoburn chair of English Bible and
Of religion in, his college. He
Is an archeologist of note, having made
five trips to Egypt in the past ten years.
His contributions to the worlds knowl-
edge concerning the ancient civilization
of that country have been very great.
and he Is regarded as an authority on the
Egyptian archaeology.
