CHIEF OBSTACLES IN
The WAY OF REUNION
Talks At Methodist Commission
Are Reported "AmiCable."

Two long and earnest sessions
were held by the joint commission
on union of the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Methodist Episcopal
Church South Saturday In Mount
Vernon Place Church Baltimore, but
the only official report was that the
proceedings w47e most amicable"
and that the sessions would contln-
lie at o'clock Sunday morning.
It Is known that the two most ser
ious differences between the North
ern and Southern commissioners are
the negro problem and that of "ulti.
mate authority" -whethdr the Gen
eral Conference shall have absolute
legislative. executive and judicial au-
thority. or whether it shall have
check on its actions through the
College OF Bishops and the referen.
dunn to the annual conferences. The
most difficult is likely not TO be the
negroes, bur the question Of author
ity, and 1t is believed that this Prob.
lem occupied most of the time at the
tWc-hour morning session and the
fhree-hour afternoon session. Only
installations were held in the even.
inc.
Sunday morning members Of the
commission filled Methodist pulpits
in Baltimore and vicinity, and some
preached tonight. At D. m. a union
service was held at the grave in
