Cheer for War

Methodist Episcopal
Conference
Aid Offered Allies
Resolutions Praise Action by
Wilson-Bishop Upholds
Justice of Cause
Aid Offered Allies

The New York Conference Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church WAS
rohedulcd to continue its meeting at
tic Washington Heights Church yester-
day, and didn't It may be that the
singing. cheering patriots that filled
tie auditorium were once. and might
be again, grave and reverend clergy
men. But for the time they were sim
rly Americans, ready for righteous war
and welcoming its advent.
There was nothing ministerial about
yesterdays gathering. Instead OF dis
cussing Church matters IT applauded
addresses that were valiant echoes Of
President Wilson's message; cheered
for the Stars and Stripes, the Iricolor
and the Union Jack and sang "The Bat
tie Hymn Of the Republic with voices
that echoed the spirit of 1861.
Men shouted when resolutions were
adopted pledging loyalty 20 the Presi-
dent and commencing his address to
Congress. From beginning to end the
meeting was explosive with patriotic
enthusiasm.
Perhaps the loudest cheering OF the
day occurred when Chancellor James r.
Day of Syracuse University read the
following in his report upon the state
Of the country:
Not many days hence We hope TO
place our Old Glory beside 81. Georges
Cross and the Tricolor Of our brave
allies who for long months have held
and are now turning back the front Of
the most barbarous foe that has ever
threatened civilization on any battle
field. In the justice Of the conflict we
declare our faith; Of its victory theso
can be no doubt"
The resolutions provided: That we
convey to the President our grateful
appreciation of his noble address, con-
ccived. written and delivered IN the
spirit Of deep devotion 70 the highest
and most precious ideals Of American
history and American purposes.
That we express 70 him. speaking in
cur stead, our solemn approval OF his
declaration Of a state of war with the
Imperial German government, an
nounced only after months of unparsl-
lcled patience and earnest effort TO
avert war.
That we pledge 20 him and our
country for those mor:ths OF sacrince
and suffering which lie before US our
answering loyalty, our resources OF
strength. physical and material. and
cur constant sympathy and prayer"
Bishop Luther B. Wilson, presiding
at the conference, also delivered an ad-
dress unfolding the justice of the
United States cause in the name of
Christianity.

Music of Yesterday
Carnegie Hall Is Filled for
Oratorio Societys st.
Matthew s Passion

Il has been seven years since the
Oratorio Society last presented Bach s
"St. Matthews Passion" and last
nights performance Of the great work
filled Carnegie Hall as no oratorio has
filled it for many n season. Inc trans
lation used had been revised especially
for the performance by Mr.. koemme-
Mich. and the society had made spe-
cial effort to make the revival note
worthy.
The result must have been crafty
irr both to the conductor and to the
society; il was certainly so to the au-
dicnce. Bach's music is not easily sung
nor easily played. yet last nights per
Torrance was one Of the finest things
the Oratorio Society has accomplished
in recent years. II was in the singing
of the chorus and of the principals,
and in the playing Of the orchestra

Besides the double chorus and orches-
ira, the boy choir of the Cathedral OF
St. John the Divine took part, and took
part worthily.

TO Lambert Murphy for his superb
ginqino, of the tenor part. The warmth
OF his voice. the clarity Of his dlcuon
the fneness Of his phrasing and his
knowledge Of the style of the work
we're beyond praise. 1t is rare to-day
20 hear such singing as Mr.. Murphy

Phase to Revivals

rosed Hill-Wheelcr city local option
bill. it was predicted yesterday that

acteristically vigorous discussion on

intendent of the Anti-Saloon League "

would be done to change the Sunday
meetings from being other than the
evangelist desires them, for the pur-
pose Of preaching undilutcd gospel of
the old-fashioned variety. But, Mr..
Anderson added. the organization left
here after the departure Of Mr.. Sunday
would be asked to use all OF its powers
TO comb the city. block by block. TO
obtain signatures that would bring the
question Of saloon closing TO vote at
an early date.
Members Of the evangelist's party,
who are arriving in the city By almost
every train. call attention TO his record
as fighter and say that il is hardly
possible that he win ignore an OPP
rortunity TO strike a body blow at his
arch enemy rum in the seat Of its
greatest power. They are convinced
that II the bill is passed he will take
the lead in working for a dry city
When Mr.. Sunday and MA" Sunday
