THE M E.CHUKCH SOUTH SEEKS TO
■ UNITE WITHTHE NORTHERN.
Sam Jonca Dcxcrlbed ut an “Erratic Mla-
alonary-—Dlvely Debate on I.t-
cetulnc Erunseliata.
Richmond, Va., May tO.—In tho Metho-
ili«t Epiacopal General Conference to-day,
Dr. M. IS. Chapman of Uitwonri, introduced
a preamble end resolution in relation to
the confederation of the Methodist Episco
pal Church South and Methodist Episcopal
Church North. The preamble seta forth in
Rtibatance that the two churches bare a
common history, and preach tho earns
truth; that Uape May mie-ion has keen
holly (Unregarded; therefore be it
Reunited, That thia general conference
ahull elect a committee of Keren, four of
whom shall be clerical and three lay dele
gates, who ahull meet a like committee
from the Northern Methodiat Chnrch in
1888, looking to a reunion of the two
cbnrchea.
The resolution further seta forth that it
ain and folly for two Methodist churches
occupy the same territory.
Dr. Chapman in his earnest advocacy of
this resolution said that in hia State the sin
nnd foUv of the mutter had been observed;
that he has seen in a small town of 100 or
500 inhabitants, two Methodist churches
raising altar against altar; a waste of men
and money, and waste of forces of onr
Christianity.
Brethren in the South, he argued, have
not this thing to contend with, and know
nothing of the clash which is met with in
the West, and know nothing of the facts in
relation to segregation of Methodism which
going on under the present state of af
fairs.
Continuing Dr. Chapman said, we who
have seen this waste of men and money
where the Northern Methodist church is in
the ascendancy, we are dying by inches,and
where we are in the asoendaney that church
dying by inches.
Dr, Whitehead of Virginia was in favor
of referring the matter to the committee
on fraternal correapondence.
The question was discussed nt some
leDgth and finally was referred to a special
committee to be composed of one from each
annual conference.
Another important matter looking in the
same direction was the referenco to an ap
pointed committee the preparation of a
common hymnal that way be nsed by all
the different bodies of Methodism in 'the
country.
The committee on itinerancy, to which
was referred a memorial from the Lons-
ville and Denver conferences, that a pro
vision be made for the appointment of
evangelists recommended non-concurrence.
Dr. Adams, of Georgia, thought that
Sam Jones and other such men shonid have
nominal appointments.
Dr. Mesatck, of Louisville, strongly sup
ported the report of tho committee, and
waa in favor of allowing the question of
evangelism to stand as it is. He very
forcibly contended that the church did not
want speciallats on this subject; that every
Methodist preacher is equally qualified to
save souls. In the name of Methodism he
protested against sneb an innovation, and
when be concluded there was a hearty
'amen.'
Dr. Neely, of Texas, said that these evan
gelists, as tar as Ue knew, were running on
the plan of religion rnado easy. In the
name of the Methodist church, and of the
entire chnrch of God, he hoped that the
measure wonld ftU.
Dr. Winfield, of Arkansas, said that if the
memorial is adopted every gum log in tho
Methodist connection will be an evangelist
in the next five years.
“Do you know what a gum log is?” the
Doctor asked. “It is one yon can’t do any-
thing with. When I was in Europe with
Bishop Wilson, we were shown a certain
kind of tree there, called feminine oak.
Vou csnuol split it or do anything with it.
It is just like a woman; when the will she
will, uml you cannot do anything with her.
There is but one Ham Jones iu the world,
and there will never be hat one; and every
little fellcw that tries to be like
Sam Jon-s will fail. You can make no more
on that line. He is by himself. You can
have but one, and if yon attempt to dnpli
ette him you will surely fail [Laughter.,
He haa turned Chicago up-side down, ant
any man that haa courage to attack Chicago
cannot be duplicated. He is being beard in
Baltimore, lie is a man of the century.
We don't want any evangelists among
Southern Methodists. We have already the
grandest machinery in ths world. Brethren,
I tell you wbat in tho matter. You go
along lifeless and death Rekindle the fires
in your own church, for it is time Metho
dist ministcre were looking thia matter in
tho face.
Dr. McFerrin said it meant snbvenion of
the itinerancy plan, and revolution in the
itenerary work. Way back yonder, seventy-
five year* sgo, it waa attempted. That was
what created Lorenzo Dow, and everybody
living in hia day knew the spirit snd feel
ing ho hsd toward the Methodixt chnrch
and government. A great many allusions
have been made to Bam Jones; I have
beard him. I understand that he i* work
ing fortheOrpbans's Home in Georgia, and
he goes nut by appointment from the
Bishop. Suppose we pass a law making
8am Jones an Evangpliet. Then be is con
fined to Georgia; never to go to Chicago or
Baltimore, but to stay in the woods of Geor
gia. U you paaa that substitute, you will
clip Sam Jones's wings, and he goea no
more out from Georgia,
Dr. Andrews, of Mississippi, offered a
substitute for the whole mutter, llis sub
stitute provided for the appointment of
evangelists under certain conditions, to bo
defined by the conference* appointing them.
Mr. Machcn of Kentucky wss opposed
to erratic missionaries, and several other
delegate* took the same position. After a
lengthy and interesting discussion of the
matter, the lubatitnte wgg rejected and tho
report of the committee was adopted by an
almost unsaimou. vote. The conference
then adjourned.

nicution in the Baltimore Sun of Saturday:
Your report of news is gt-nendly so accu
rate that i am sure yon will thank mo for
correcting a mLtake in your very brief ac
count of a very small part—two or three
sentences—of a sermon I delivered on
Thursday morning before the Convocation
of Baltimore, I did not so much os men
tion the names of the two gentlemen who
are preaching what they believe to be “the
Gospel" in the Biddle street rink. I was
prvaching to a representative body, mostly
WEATHER BULLETIN
clergymen, of the Protedant Episcopal
Church, and I took occasion to remark that
certain opinions which the Catholic Chnrch
has always regarded as heretical and danger-
one, which found expression in the heresy
of the Muutanists, the schism of the
Dooatists, the crabbed eccentricities of the
English Puritans, are continually reappear
ing in the teaching and, addresses ot our
modern revivalists. Personally I believe that
many of the boldest assertions of the gen
tlemen referred to above are flatly anti ir
reconcilably contradictory of tho doctrines
both of Scripture and of the Catholic Chnrch;
and I do not think it worth while so much
to consider whether the Catholic Church
these zealous revivalists arc more likoiy
be in tho right. There is the less reason
consider this question btcauss the “re-
vivniists” conceal their profound learning
and their natural refinement under the dis
guise of a studied vulgarity of language
which renders it almost impossible to be
sure of their exact meaning.
And while I mu writing I may venture ti
add that I think it time to protest, at least
for myself, against the gross and insolent
abuse which theso gentleman have thought
proper, in tho presence of thousands of peo-
>le, to offer to a very large number of our
Jaltimore citizens. There dots not seem to
be much doubt as to the meaning of Christ's
words. “Judge not, that ye bo not judged."
Aud when it is publicly asserted that all th ose
ladies who took part in the Kirmes or in the
charity ball, or who play whist with their
tired husbands, or take part in progressive
euchre, or dance, or “hugging to music,” are
emissaries of the devil, are helping their hus
bands and families to hell, I think it time to
ask who gave to the people who make these
charges tho right to sit in the judgment
seat of the Eternal and condemn to hell
fire hundreds of the purest, most noble,
mott self-sacrificing v-omeu on the face of
the earth'! We mo not accustomed here in
Baltimore to hear the ladies of Baltimore
condemned for gross vice, without accusers,
or trial, or jury, by a couple of irresponsi
ble people who know nothing about them.
As one of tho clergy of Baltimore, I beg to
say that these ladies so ruthlessly slandered
are our personal friends, are of spotless
roputatiou, ure among onr best workers, are
welcomed by ns to the Holy Eucharist, nnd
are at the wry least as far uliovc suspicion
of imparity and ungodliness ns the men
who so wickedly and insolently abuse them.

WAS PROHIBITION BOUGHT?

The question of prohibition or no prohi

bill in equity has been filed asking that the

The constitution provides that there shall
