TODAY'S BIRTHDAY PARTY
War With France.

The first foreign war in which the United States engaged was against her former friend and ally, France. The tenor of Judicial opinion has been that France, and the United States were not at war, but, as sew eral naval engagements were fought. there were all the conditions of real warfare except a formal declaration The seizure of American vessels by France was the cause of the trouble, and on May Is, 1797s just III years ago today, special session of Con gress was convened in Philadelphia at the call of President John Adams to consider the strained relations be- tween the United states and the na- ton which had aided the republic to achieve it's independence. France was then governed by the directory. and Napoleon had just commenced those successful campaigns which were to win for him the imperial crown. A commission was sent to France to take up the matter of a settlement. When the commissioners were asked to bribe members of the directory, Charles c. Pinckney replied with the famous phrase. Millions for defense, but not a cent for tribute.'' The commission failed in it's mission, and in 179S commercial intercourse with France was suspended, all French treaties were declared void, and naval warfare commenced. The conflict was verging on avowed war fare when, in 1900, a convention was negotiated which resulted in peace.

 The merger of the i've Methodist societies was called Epworth League after the town of Epworth, in Lin colnshire, England, distinguished as the birthplace of John Wesley the founder of Methodism. The league adopted as it's motto: Look up. Iift up.'' and declared as it's purpose to promote intelligent and loyal piety in the young members an0 friends or the church; to aid them in the at tainment of purity of heart and con stant growth of grace, and to train them in works of mercy and help
 The pledge required of members is: TT will earnestly seek for myself, and do what I can to help others to at tain, the highest New Testament standard of experience and life will abstain from all forms of world 1y amusement forbidden by the disci- pline of the Methodist Episcopal church. and I will attend, as far as possible, the religious meetings of the chapter and the church, and take some active part in them" The adop- ton of the pledge by local societies is made altogether voluntary.
 The league in the Methodist Epis- copal Church South was provided for Dy the general conference or 18SVs and at the general conference. of northern Methodists held in Omaha in 1892 the Epworth League was off, cia11y endorsed and adopted as a child of the church. Within ten years of its Organization million young people were affiliated with the league spread to Canada, and since then chapters have been instituted in Mexico, India, several South Ameri- can countries Italy, Norway.

 While exclusively a young peoples 5organizat ton, the Epworth League has exercised profound influence on the Methodist church.. Hundreds Of thousands of adult Methodists of to-day were attracted to the church by the Epworth League. The good feeling and co-operation between the northern and southern branches of the Methodists of the United States, who were separated by the civil war and the slavery issue. has been de- iveloped and encouraged by the Ep- worth League, whose youthful mem bers are free from the bitter preju- dices and hatreds engendered by the civil strife of half century a 20
