DR.. Theodore Copeland pastor OF

A. last night. The subject of Dr.
Copelands address was THE Christian
Life" the essence of which was that
within every man is both the cdrnal
and a spiritual being, and that the
carnal being should be sacrificed to
the spiritual, and that the latter
should predominant in every man.
DR.. Copeland made an impressive ad-
dress, and one that showed a profund-
ity of thought commensurate with his
subject.

were invited as guests of the evening,

BISHOP A. w. WILSON
An Appreciation by
THEODORE COPEI AND, d, D.

Every new era in history has /been
created by a preacher. Guizot tells
us that st. Paul did more for liberty
and free institutions than any man
who ever stood on Western soil. Mar
tin Luther liberated the conscience IF
mankind, defied the thunders of the
Vatican, and changed the front of the
world. The Puritan preachers de-
stroyed the divine rights of kings,
vindicated the divine rights of all
men, and became the harbingers of
civil and religious liberty. A century
and half ago John Wesley created
the great religious revival of modern
times, revival whose beacon fires
still blaze across the world, an,
strangely warm the hearts Of men.
Within the last two decades a new
era has dawned on American Metho-
dism, and we are confronted with
problems and responsibilities which
challenge our deepest solicitude for
the kingdom of Christ In the move
ments of this new day Bishop A. w.
Wilson has been one of the most
prominent and proficient actors. His
massive intellect, his broad sympathy
and his zeal for righteousness quail
fled him for a conspicuous place
among the leaders of his generation.
1t was not inappropriate that he
should be appointed among others to
formulate plans for the unification of
the two great bodies of Methodism.
Bishop Wilson was gifted with a
prophets vision which enabled him
to see the far-off divine events to
which the whole creation moves. His
vision power was akin to that of Jui-
son in Burmah. Moffatt in Africa, and
Patton in the South Sea Islands.
The death of Bishop Wilson was to
me personal bereavement. During
his months stay in our home at Hot
Springs, learned to love and revere
him for the beauty and nobility of his
Christian life. His dhildlike faith and
deep humility, his kindly interest in
me and my family and my work. his
abiding loyalty to the church he loved
left an impression on my mind which
time cannot erase. I corresponded
with him regularly, and his last let
