LOYALTY AND
 LOVE NEEDED
Bishop Mouzon Says Pre- requisites to Discipleship Are Not Dependent on Orthodoxy Spirit is from Within

crowd that has yet attended the meetings at the Methodist Church, Bishop Edwin Mouzon last night out lined the "conditions of disciples and reviewed the early work of Metho- dism.
 He denied that orthodoxy or ex- rerience are conditions prerequisite quired in the sense so often stressed from the pulpit press and platform, but what is required is love and loy- alty. These are the conditions of discipleship.
 The passages of scripture that he chose for the basis of his discourse were: If any man would be my disciple, let him take up his cross and follow me = If any man will do Gods will, he shall know of the doc trine" Come unto me all ye that labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn of me, for my yoke is easy and my burden light, and ye shall find rest unto your souls
 Then marking back to the fOunda tiOns of Methodism, when the soci- cites called Methodists were formed he spoke of the conditions of mem- bership in those societies which have been perpetuated in the discipline of the Methodist Church. "A desire to flee from the wrath to come,' and to do Gods will. "Christs one condi- ton is not something to wait for but is something waiting for you" is the way he put it. Religion lies not in. outer forms but in inner spirit "To be his disciple you must set his teachings before you. and accept him as the Lord and master of your faith and life"
