the Associated Press). - Clergymen
and laymen, representing 100000
Methodist Episcopalians of the coun-
try, attended the meeting which be-
gan here today of the joint commits
sion of the Methodist Episcopal
churches, north and south, which has
as its object unification of the two
wings of the church. That the
merger would be agreed upon imme-
diately appeared to be foregone
conclusion among the delegates.
In addition to the unification dele
cation from the northern church
headed by Bishop w. F. Mcdowell,
Washington, and that of the southern
faction in charge of Bishop Edwin
Mouzon. Dallas, Tex. a hundred or
more church paper editors attended
the sessions. The meeting, how
ever, was not open to the public.
The joint commission is meeting in
the Forth Street Methodist Episcopal
Church South, from which announce
ment came seventy-four years ago
that owing to a disagreement on the
slavery question a breach had come
about and thenceforth there would be
northern and southern branches of
the church.
The Secession came in 1S46, after
a controversy lasting two years, over
a negro slave girl owned by the wife
Of Bishop Andrews. Georgia. North
ern congregations argued that BiShop
Andrews should be removed for that
reason. Southern congregations con-
tended that he had been appointed for
life by church and could not be
ousted.
