Vote on Church Name

Many years have passed since
John and Charles Wesley in 1929
formed their club to promote per-
sonal religion by rule and method.
Thus at first in derision their fol-
lowers were named Methodists but
later the adherence of John ana
Charles Wesley adopted that name.
In 1889 convention was called at
Kansas City which completed the
merger of the three principal bodies
of Methodism in this country. The
Methodist Episcopal, the Methodist
Episcopal Church South and the
Methodist Protestant agreed to com
bine under the name Of Methodist
Church. This name before it could
be legally taken had to be ratified
by a vote of the separate churches
in each pastorate. On Sunday such
a vote was taken in the Troy
Church which will henceforth be
called the Methodist Church as the
vote passed without dissent.
