CIVIL WAR RIFT
|. |SSETTLED IN
ME-. CHURCH
Final Action is Taken In
Uniting Northern and
Southern Branches.
By InternatlonaI News Service.


SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May t.
Wounds dating from the slavery
agitation In civil war DAYS were
healed today at the general confer
ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church when final action was
taken uniting the Northern ana
| Southern branches of the church,
divided on slavery lines in the
| heated discussions prior to the civil
| war. All efforts to bring the two
branches together had since proven
futile.
The union as now effected will
give a combined membership of
more than six million, the Methodist
Episcopal Church having 100000
members and the Methodist Church
South, 100000.
Plans for extending the work OF
the Methodist Episcopal Church
among newly-arrived immigrants
were considered today by the COM
mittee of home missions Of the
general conference in session here!
Following instructions In foreign
languages it is planned to conduct
a program in English for both chill
dren and adults.
Educational and evangelistic liter.
ature also will be circulated among
immigrants.
The foreign language work will
be carried on in churches located
near the large centers Of foreign
born population. The plan was
recommended to the conference 10y
special commission on foreign Ian
guages, of which Rev. Edmund J..
Lockwood, of Waterloo, Iowa, il
chairman.
One report called 20 the attention
of the conference the spread OF
Christianity in Japan since the last
earthquake as the result OF Ameri-
can assistance.
Rev. DR.. Kamiji Ishicaka, fra
ternal delegate from the Japanese
church extended thanks for the re-
lief sent by America last September
He said a strong Christian move
ment all over Japan is resulting.
Temporary barrack churches have
been built, he said, to replace those
destroyed by the quake.
The committee on the state Of
the church today considered the
plan advocated by Rev. George H.
McClung, Of Kankakee, H.. for a
series Of meetings to be arranged
by district superintendents to bring
before the people OF the Methodist
churches throughout the country
definite information as to the
| growth Of the church.
DR.. McClung criticised the fed
eral religious census of 1916 on the
lground the totals credited to the
Roman Catholic church arc too
great as compared to the Methodist.
He said the government. figures
show 100000 communicates for
the Roman Catholic church and
1900. 900 for the Methodists, where
as the same report shows the
Methodist Sunday schools have a
membership of 3,S72 900 and Roman
Catholic only 1850 900.

"Mr. Ford's statement. published

THE evidence stands undisputed

that Mr.. Miller sent the telegram

such telegram was received by
Mr.. Ford's private secretary. It
