METHODISTS ARE
MAKING GROWTH
Memberships for Half Century Shows
Gain of 100000 to 100000
Every -Four Years.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, May s.
The membership of the Methodist
Episcopal denomination has increased
between 100000 and 100000 every four
years for more than half century,
according to the Episcopal address of
the board OF bishops. read at yester-
days session of the Methodists' gem
eral conference. by Bishop John W
Hamilton of Boston.
The Episcopal address, which is
the formal utterance of the bishops of
the church, reviewed the work of the
denomination since 1912 and made
recommendations concerning future
labors. 1t emphasized the responsible
ity and opportunity resulting from the
European war.
The plan adopted four years ago of
trying out residential supervision on
the part of the bishops whereby each
bishop has charge of the annual CON
ference contiguous to his Episcopal
residence has been satisfactory to the
bishops but they feel that it is unde
sirable to group several such Episco
pal areas. 1T tends" the address sets
forth, ito limit the experience and
knowledge of the bishops to restricted
sections to prevent wise and proper
use OF the transfer system TOR minis
