METHODIST BUILDING
SOON TO BE OPENED
Question of Name for Structure
Causes Much Discussion.

Plans have been completed for the for
NAL opening of the new Methodist Build
ing, 18th and Arch streets, on May 20,
with an elaborate program of exercises.
Bishop Berry and prominent divines Of
the Methodist Episcopal denomination
ed to attend and participate in the eXCr-
cises.
Representatives of the Methodist Epis-
copal Board OF Home Missions, the Phil
adelphla Tract Society and the Methodist
Book Room are included on the Dedca-
tion Committee in charge of the plans.
For some time there has been a discus
sion as to- what name the new structure
will be given, and there Is a possibility
that 1t may be formally opened before
name has been chosen.
Among the names that have been sug-
gested, the ones given the most serious
consideration we're THE Matthew Simp-
son Building" the Wesley Building" and
"Thc Methodist Building" The name
wesley Building" seems to have tho
widest support among the clergymen but
some fear that the use of this name
might cause persons to imagine there
was connection between the Wesleyan
Church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church. which does not exist.
The first department of the denominn-
tion's activities to remove from the old
building on Arch street near 10th was
the Home Mission Board, which took pos
session of it's part of the new structure
last week.
