John wesley Great Moral Reformer

John Wesley, the founder of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, opposed
the evil of slavery and denounced the
slave trade as that eXecrable sum of
all villainies."
Thomas Coke and Francis Asbury,
the first Methodist Episcopal Bishops
in America, made Bishops at the first
NJ. E. Conference, in Baltimore, in
1884, preached against slavery.
1t was put in the first Methodist
discipline that no slave holder in a
free State shall be eligible to an
official station in the Church. When
any travelling preacher becomes an
owner of a slave, by any means. he
shall set his slave free or forfeit his
ministerial charter.
The Northern Methodists, to some
extent, became abolitionists Of all
slaves. and the enlargement between
the North and South grew. The eli
max came at the General Conference
at Baltimore, in 1874. Rev. James 0
Andrew was elected a bishop in 1892
Early in 1914 he married a lady o
Georgia, who was the owner Of
slaves. The laws of Georgia forbid
an owner to free a slave.
The Penn's Grove record., 1923-08-17

Petitions. memorials and addresses
were poured upon the General Con-
ference. A hot debate took place over
a resolution asking Bishop Andrew to
vacate his office or get rid of his
slaves. The resolution was carried by
a vote of Ill to So against. 1t was
a solid North against a solid South.
Two days after a paper was offered
looking to the division of the Church,
because of the suspension of Bishop
Andrew rendered the jurisdiction of
the N. f. Church impossible in the
South. A plan of separation was
drawn up stating that the NJ. E.
Church granted the South indisputable
Jurisdiction over their Churches and
would not organize societies in the
South and that the South reciprocally
observe the same rule.
In 1915 the delegates from the
Methodist Episcopal Churches in the
South met in Louisville, KY, and
made plans for their first General
Conference i'm 1916. They have held
General Conferences every four years
since.
The N. E. Church North hold their
General Conferences every four years
or presidential election year.
The wan between the North and
South was but a fighting over again,
with powder and shot, the very same
battle which. with words for weapons,
had called forth the energy, zeal and
the wrath of the two parties in an
nual and general conferences of the
Churches. The Presbyterians and Bap-
fists also split on slavery.
Since the war there have been re-
ciprocal visiting delegations from each
side looking for a reunion of all the
NJ. E. Churches. In 1900 the General
Conference North and in 1902 the
General Conference South appointed
committees for a revision of the M.
F. Church Catechism and a revision
of the Hymnal. The reports of the
committees were adopted at their
General Conferences in 1904 and
1906. Since 1905 the NJ. E. Church
both North and South have used the
same Catechism and the same Hymnal
book.
After tie Civil War the M. E.
Church North sent missionaries South
and organized Churches and spent
many thousands of dollars to educate
and organize Churches among the
Negroes I'M the South. This fraternal
cooperation of Nothern folks to give
Church equality to the Negroes has
been one of the causes that has de-
layed the reunion of the M. E.
Churches North and South which is
expected TO take place next year.

THE HARDING HIGHWAY


The Penns Grove-Malaga road that
is contemplated as part of the high
way system to be improved bv the
State, may be given the name of .'The
Harding Highway" It was Travelled
by the late President upon his last
visit to this city. If this title is be
slowed the road will be the first me
moral route to be named after the
iIiustrious dead.
What good fortune that Mr.. Hard

con Boulevard. Fancy the spasm Of
loyalty on the part Of the Freehol-
ders to r~ededicate that asphalt block

CAPTURED

Eamonn DeValera, the British rebel
and Irish Republican guerilla, who
has been more responsible than any
other mar for the civil war in Ireland,
was captured on Wednesday by the
Free State Troops. On him is fixed
the responsibility for the campaign of
the Irish Irregulars. The government
republishes all his captured CORES
pondence in proof of that charge.
1t will be remembered that he was
smuggled into the United States four
years ago and roamed over the coun-
try collecting thousands of dollars
under the protection of a lot of so
per cent Americans.
The greatest mistake of the British
Government in recent years was in
not putting DeEalera under the ground.
It is hoped the Irish Free State Gov
eminent will not make the same mis-
take.

Daily there is much in the news
papers about France and Germany. If
people will keep in mind that the
World War will not be ended until all
the terms of the Versailles Treaty
are met, they may better understand
the situation, altho the fighting stop
ped five years ago. The trouble is
over making Germany pay the Repair
alton the Commission assessed OF Ger
many. All the prot German interests
in this country are helping along the
propaganda to help keep Germany
from paying. Whether the daily
papers or the correspondents are be-
ing paid or not, they are moral and
political traitors to what was fought
for. We did not have such home
traitors in the North for forty years
after the Civil War as is now mani
tested all over the United States.
1t is because of the big pro-German
vote and financial interests.

THE DECADENT NORTHWEST
(Glasgow Democrat)

If we do not hear soon of two
school maam freezing to death in a
lonely shack SO miles from Havre
we'll consider the winter practically
a failure. The story should be brought
to Great Falls-say from Chester or
bingham from a travelling man who
got it straight from the section boss
at Shelby. We have been shedding
a few tears now since '98 when the
first pair of female pedagogues were
found near Stanley, N d. The news
was always brought to Minot in those
days, but the bearer was travelling
man the same as now. The tragedy
moved west with the years. Last
winter it failed, probably because no
travelling men "made" the territory
west of Havre last winter, and even
if they had they would have likely
found all the school ma ans studying
anticlines and structures and obli-
vious to blizzards.
Sad as it is to contemplate, the
time may come when winter after
winter will go by without producing
a single frozen school ma am Truly
the country is not what it used to be!

AN ANALOGY
nan resembles a cigar, "

"a man resembles a cigar"
| heard a jester say;
"For he, like a cigar, is bound
To meet his "match" some day."
Just so, and then the man flares up
And like the tweed" gets red,
Which as rule precedes the fact
Each soon doeth lose his head
A man, like a cigar, gets "short,"
And sometimes of the town
Becomes the "butt''- also may
Be friend "thrown down"
Some weeds and some men, too, are
rank;
Some scarcely have flaw;
Some are like actors, though well
"puffed,"
They can't be made to draw.
Wives see other likeness still
Though this their husbands fiout)
A man, like cigar, is spoiled
If he is let Ego out"
And lastly, this analogy
Their finish does not mar;
Both come to ashes in the end
The man and the cigar.

THE RADICALS OF SCIENCE

There is madman proposing to
light London with-what do you sup
pose?-why with smoke"
That's what Sir Walter Scott wrote
to a friend when it was first plan
ned to light London with gas. Ma
poleon said it was a ''great folly"
One hundred years ago people were
afraid of gas and thought it to be
work of the devil Later when the
Westminster Bridge was lighted with
gas, people thought the pipes were
filled with fire and watched the spec
tacle dumfounded. When lighting
systems were installed in the House
of Commons the members of Parlia-
ment, fearful of being burned, would
not touch the pipes with ungloved
hands.
But that was hundred years ago.
Today there are 1900 uses for gas
and it takes sixty thousand miles Of
street mains to deliver the gas of the
country to its consumers. Forty-fve
million people in homes and factories
are now served with gas.

flying through the air he talked in
vain and died disappointed

A POOR RECOURSE
(Glasgow Democrat)

A number of Poplar citizens have
sued the Wolf Point Herald for $50

fingers as you might say. and you
can't cripple up a newspaper by
taking any such pusillanimous sum
as that away from it.
If you wanta put the skids under

its plethoric bankroll, because most
any newspaper keeps bundle of

MORE PROOF THAT
FARMING CAN PAY
ACTUAL RECORD OF DANE VAL.
LEY FARMER SHOWS GOOD
LABOR INCOME
(By Co. Agent D. B. Noble)

Here is another farm record takei
from the farmers own verified fig
ures on his actual operations for tn,
year 1922, which should be mos
gratifying and comforting to the in
vestors in farm land in Roosevelt
county.
This record is one from the Dane
Valley and is doubtless typical of q
number in that section. of the county
The farmer in question has an in
vestment, including real estate, live
stock, machinery and equipment, feed
and cash to run the farm which total
ed 13,282.OO.
His farm receipts were, from crops
ISL, ,S21; livestock increase, $737; all
other work such as outside work with
machinery and horses, S1,1O0; in
crease in feed and supplies, s168,
livestock products sold, S238, making
total of farm receipts, $4,046.00
Income Above All Expense
His current farm expenses includ-
ing extra labor, extra board, repairs
on buildings, taxes, threshing, ETC.,
was $1,S21.00, and depreciation,
$4,000, making total farm expense
of s1,986.0O. This leaves a farm in
come of s2,07S.OO. Subtract the in
terest of 5 per cent on the investment
of SIS, ,282.O0, which win be s664.00,
and this leaves a labor income of
s1,414.00.
This farmer had in 20 acres of
corn; 140 acres of wheat and 25 acres
of oats and barley, all of which gave
him a fair yield. His only cash crop
was wheat, the rest of his crop he
marketed in the form OF livestock or
livestock products.
Methods Which Produced
1t is well pointed out in this record
that the following factors can be at
tributed to such high labor income:
Diversified farm program:
Income from cash crop and four
classes of livestock.
An even distribution of labor over
entire year.
A large income from the use of his
machinery.
An income on his program the year
around.
Excellent managerial ability.
The farmer in question has small
ractor and small car and he makes
,ood use of them both in his farm
but he does most of the !.
eld work with the eight head of hor .
es that he has.
Mr.. Campbell, in his farm account
chools that are now being enrolled,
vill instruct farmers who are desirous
( keeping a good record of their
arm operations.
