human pictures OF four prominent

It was said that II was the first
biographical study honest enough TO
present all the faults 4 foIbles OF
popular idols, along with their more
pretenuous qualities But TINS
criticism completely overlooked the
fact that there had been a much
earlier realistic study OF the eminent

before. This delightful book Is called

little W-eakenness in the very peO-

Il delicious reading And It contains
the stories not OF four eminent
Philadelphians. but OF literally hun

away with all the hOnors.
One OF the most interesting early
Philadelphians it presents is Stephen

 The joint commission on the unifieation of American Episcopal Methodism did not recommend for adoption by the general conference the proposed constitution for the Methodist church. it simply trans 1nitted it for reconsideration and deei- sion" Six of the commissioners of the Methodist Episcopal church, South, did, not vote to transmit this constitution, land several others voted to transmit on the express condition that they should enter on the minutes an explanation of their votes. There was a public and general agreement that the vote to trans init was not an indorsbent of the plan, and that any member of the point com mission should be free to advocate or op- pose the plan when it came before the churches for consideration and deci- sion.'' Why. then, should six members of our commission vote against this mild and cautious resolution?
 For himself alone without involving any of his colleagues, this writer makes answer
 In May, 1911, meeting was held in Chattanooga of representatives of three Methodisms: the two Episcopal Metho- disms and the Methodist Protestant church Two significant resolutions were adopted at that meeting, one at the very beginning of our conversations, the other at the close These resolutions were quite similar, and the second was adopted to emphasize" the first. It was specifically set forth that the resolutions were adopted for the purpose of guarding against the rnisconception of our people or by the public of the significance to be attached to the conclusions reached. me second resolution declared that lin 'no sense are these suggestions a plan, but merely the result of our explorations in search of basis of union.
