I,os Angeles, Cal., May 1.—On the occasion of the assembling of the Methodist general conference of IbOl I lie preacher welcomes the delegates and points out the rise and growth of Methodism and the secret of its far reaching influence upon the religious world today. The text Is Ezekiel xvi, 7, “I have caused thee to multiply as the laid of the field.” Nearly twenty years ago I was with my father In a hotel In London when a deputation of Methodist ministers and laymen waited on him. They said: •Will you not preach for us at least once before you return to America? There are thousands and tens of thou sands of people in ixaidou who have lor years been readers of your ser mons, and they want to hear your voice and touch your hand. They have a right to make this demand. You are part of them, and we cannot go until you consent to preach at least once.” We were on our way to the continent to meet my mother and sisters, who hud preceded us there some months before. "No,” answered my father. ‘ I cannot at the present time. I am mentally and physically worn out. The doctors have told me I must hold up. 1 am going to the continent, where my lips will he closed, because I do not understand the French and the Ger man languages. Hut if you wish, I will preach for you when I return.” "Where would you like to preach, doc tor?” With Unit my father turned mid said, "As I am to preach but once, l have hut one desire, and that is to preach In John Wesley’s pulpit.” "Why do you want to prea< ii In City Road chapel?” I asked, after the dele gation had departed. “That church holds only a few hundred. Why not go to one of the great buildings, like Joseph J’arker’s church or Exeter ball, where you cun have an audience of thousands of hearers?” "Reeause,” was the reply, “I consider that City Road chapel is in some respects the most sacred spot in all Europe. That is the place where John Wesley is buried. That is the pulpit from which went forth a mighty power which is felt in every land totlay. The influ ence of that pulpit is potent in every Methodist church and meeting house and Sunday school the world over, uf- 'i sentence in reference to the bouse of commons, "All these men have their price.” What Robert Walpole in state- era ft could not win by fair means he won hy foul. Rut Methodism came " | into the world to do a greater work than merely to protest against govern- ; mental depravity, it came, as Josiah j Strong has said, as a protest against j an Established church, which believed l at that time more in outward ceremo- i uies than in spiritual truths. “Isaac Taylor,” so records the author of “The Next Groat Awakening,” “calls the' church of this period ‘a fair carcass,’ ” and Hlackstone says that he went to hear every preacher of note In London and that there was not one whose dis- i jourse indicated whether he was a fol lower of Confucius or Mohammed or of Christ. The Established church of that time believed in carrying the phy lacteries upon the forehead, hut not in practicing Christ’s spiritual lessons in the life. It was so given over to formalism and rites and ceremonies- that it had no warning to give even to men in Its pulpits who, like the Phari sees of old, were whited sepulchers, fair to the eye, hut within harboring decaying corpses and whose private lives were a repulsive stench. “It is the inward witness, son, the Inward witness,” spake the dying father, .Sam uel Wesley, to his son John—“this is the strongest proof of Christianity.” So John Wesley and his followers res olutely set their faces against the prev alent sins of that day. They vehe mently declared that the Christian church should not only have a • are creed. Iml Mint its member; should be, n "i! nf pure private lives. In the high spiritual standard set before the indi vidual church members we And the chief cause of the marvelous develop ment of the Methodist church. No Com prom Imo With Sin. My brother, it Is of vital importance that all Protestant churches realize that they are making a fatal error when they in any way compromise their high spiritual standards hy al- j lianee with sin. The higher the stand- ; ard of the Christian church the great er will he its success. We do not need today churches that honor winebib- hiug ministers. We do not need ] dnirclies which, when they have a fliurch sociable, tell their young poo- ; pie they may dance and play cards. We | do not desire churches whose members In their everyday actions are nowise different from the people of the world. One of the reasons why the Christian i Endeavor society, of which Francis E. Clark is the president, is numbering its members hy the hundreds of thou sands and the millions is because of its ironclad pledge. John Willis Baer, who for so many years was secretary | of that young people's Christian or ganization, was rigid when in my presence some years ago he declared, “The high standard of the character of the Endeavorcrs is due to the high feeling the lives of twenty-live millions standaru of thi society’s pledge.” Y’ou of tin 1 human race, who every Lord's day assemble under Methodist auspices to worship God and study his word.

Lord Maeaulny. in one of his essays, declares that John Wesley had a great er natural genius for government than had Richelieu. The great historian be lieved that in these words he was giv ing tin eminent divine the highest praise, hut I could see that my father's estimate far transcended that of Ma caulay, and that he held Wesley in higher honor than that of any states man. living or dead. The whole Chris tian world is in accord in that esti- mati. and as It recognizes the achieve ments <>f the church which .bdin Wes ley founded it thanks and praises God for that benelicent life. The name of John Wesley is every where respected hy the good and the and as pure as Christ himself. “It Is the inward witness, son, the inward witness this is the strongest proof of Christianity.” It is the inward wit ness of the purity of its members which accounts for the multiplying powers of the Methodist church of to day. Methodism came into the world us a protest against prevalent sin. This fact alone does not tell all the story of its marvelous multiplying power. There are many other reasons for the growth of Methodism. One of the chief of these is the fact that John Wesley was the emancipator of the laymen, as Martin Luther was the emancipator of the Bible. The English ecclesiastic opened the dumb lips of the pew. Tin? German reformer broke the iron clasps holding together the true. Therefore is it to he wondered lids of the word of God, which barred Next to Gaffney Live Stock "Co. Stables. at that our people, no matter to what ITotestaut church they belonged, hail ed with Joyful acclaim the news that the Methodist general conference of HSH was to assemble In the City of the Angels? This conference opens its session during the coming week. We, us a people, look forward to its sessions with interest and hope. We believe that hy close touch this conference will bless all Protestant churches, no matter to what denomina tion they belong. It is appropriate on this Sabbath day to hid the incoming delegates welcome. It Is also uppro- to all hut ordained priests access to the life giving message that God sent for the deliverance of all his sinful children. John Wesley said to the blacksmith at his forge and the cob bler on his bench and the wife In her kitchen: "Go forth and he my evangel ists. You may not be graduates of theological seminaries, hut you can testify of Christ’s love. Martin Lu ther said: "There, laymen, is the open Bible. Read it. Ponder it. Htudy it. Read It with your own eyes and kiss it with your own Ups.” Do you wonder that when John Wesley built tin* Metll- work to do, and right earnestly and successfully they did it. Let us never allow the pew to again he shackled and its lips sealed with the silence of death. What we ncixl more and more in the beginning of this twentieth cen tury is not a bettor educated ministry, hut one which will start forth a speak ing and a testifying pew. The simple fact is some of our churches are being preached to death. We need not more classical sermons, but more and more ! the good old fashioned testimony meet ings of the Methodist church. We need men and women who In the sim ple. homely language of the street can tell what God has done for their souls. We mid our prayer meetings to he truly "people’s meetings,” in which all take part, a place where the old folks will testify, and the middle aged people will testify, and where the roiing people will testify. Another great cause for the multiply ing power of Methodism is the “class system.” This “class system,” so called, dates its historic birth to the loth day of February, 1742. Like the life of the Wandering Jew, may It never have a death! May this system live on and on until at last earthly time shall cease and the struggles against sin shall he swallowed up in the eternal conquests of heaven! This was how the famous “class sys tem” of Methodism was born: John Wesley and his brother Charles were visiting their society In the city of ' h istol. A large flnaucial indebtedness ung as an incubus over that society’s i kitv <.f worship. While the members of that society were discussing with the leaders how they should lift the debt a Captain Foy arose and pro posed that each member should he taxed one penny a week until the debt was paid. “Hut that is not fair,” some one protesting!}- said. “Here are some people who are so poor they cannot af ford to give even a penny.” "Then,” said Captain Foy, “put eleven of the poorest with me, and if they can give anything I will call upon them weekly and collect the same, and If they give nothing I will give for them ns well as for myself, and each of you can call on eleven of your neighbors weekly, receive what they give and make up what is wanting.” No sooner had Cap tain Foy spoken than in a flash a di vine inspiration came to John Wesley. “Yes, yes,” said the great leader to himself; “that is just what Methodism needs—a system of caring for Its own, a system hy which its members shall not be herded together as wild animals are herded together, but a system which will single men out and place them In circles of tens, ami over these circles shall lie placed a separate lead er who will have charge of each class.” These leaders In turn were to meet and report to their pastors. Their pastors in turn today meet and report to their presiding elders. Each man by the “class system” of Methodism Is re sponsible to some individual person of the church. The “riaNM Sjmtem.” We see the value of Individual re sponsibility in the temporal world. Why should we not see the same results from the “class system” of Methodism? Your boy is about sixteen years of age. Where are you going to send the lad to college? “Well,” you say, "I would like in many ways to send him to one of our great universities, but the trouble is I am afraid. There the boy will only he lost among u crowd of hun dreds of other students, and no one will be individually responsible for the lad. I think I shall send him to one of our smaller colleges, where he will come in dose contact with his teachers, and these teachers will he able to keep their eye upon him.” You send your hoy to a small college to secure the In dividual touch of a professor upon the hoy. “Think not” said President Har per only a short time ago, “that the University of Chicago Is in any sense u rival of the small college. Then* Is not n professor upon our faculty who would he so foolish as to advocate the idea that young hoys of sixteen shouiu he turned loose In this great sinful city, with no one to he Individually respon sible for them.

Wi-liMter’N Trlbnte. Daniel Webster once said: “The proof to me that the cliurdi was established hy God is found in the fact that it has existiil in spite of the begowned min isters who have been caged up to preach their sermons behind their re pellent pulpits. Any lawyer would he mined if lie were compelled to plead for his client behind a wooden box, as the minister hy custom is compelled to plead for his ChrLt.” Whether that statement is true or not, I am not here to discuss, but one of the great facts that convince me that the church is a divine institution is that It has ex isted for hundreds of years in spite of the sepulchral and awful hymns with which the choirs used to lead In the song worship. These hymns, for the most part, were all gloom, all dark ness, all breathing tire and brimstone and death. When one sang them he could almost feel the hot, hissing flames of eternal punishment scorching his lips. No such singing as the an cient churches Indulged in could do | aught but terrorize and make the wor shipers tremble "'ith fear. Do you wonder that the churches of old, which sang for the most part the songs of death, should have worshipers who gave only half hearted voices to their singing? Hut while the Methodist church has its songs in the minor key, for the most part the Methodist songs are songs of life and joy and hope. Go if you will with me to any of the great Methodist camp meeting resorts of this country and you will know of what 1 speak. The mightiest shout ever rais ed hy conquering host upon battlefield was never more triumphant than are the camp meeting songs of Desplaines or Ocean Grove. When the Methodists sing “We are marching to Zion” they sing it In such a way that it seems to fling wide open the gates of the heav enly city. Songs! Songs! Songs! Aye, the Methodist church is a singing church, hut greatest of all it is a sing ing church of Joy and hope. O men, no matter to what denomination we J. F. GARRETT, Dentist.

It has worked for the most part among the common people. Certain churelies in this world have been known us churches of a class. S*me churches have been known as churches which appealed to the greatest amount of brains iu almost every Christian community. Other churches have been known as the churches of the aristocracy. Hut though John Wesley had as much brain as any man of his generation, and though by political preferment he could have reached a position of influence in aris tocratic society, yet he chose to cast his lot among the common people. He did not believe there was one gospel for the rich and another for the poor—one for the brainy man and another for him of small mental caliber. John Wesley believed all classes should meet as one at the throne of grace. There fore, as the common people crowded around him to receive his message, many of the rich and the affluent stay ed away. He was truly the missionary to the middle and lower classes. Are we in church work ready to reach out iu Christ’s name for the conversion of the same kind of people? It was said of our Lord that “the common people heard him gladly.” Ah, that is the best encomium that can be placed upon the tomb of the found er of Methodism! When Peter Cart wright, many years ago, arose to preach in Tennessee some one whis pered to him. "General Jackson is In your audience.” With that Peter Cart wright turned and said; “I hear that General Jackson is In this audience. But 1 want to say to General Jackson that I have no gospel for him any dif ferent from that which I offer to even- man.” Then, in a voice of thunder, Cartwright cried: "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish!

It makes the Methodist convert a mem ber of a great gospel university In which there are hundreds of thousands and millions members and It gives to that convert the enthusiasm which truly comes from great numbers, and, secondly, It separates the Methodist convert from the masses. It places him In a gospel family for which some on** Is responsible. It gives to him a separate gospel garden In which to labor. It says: “Uld convert, you look after that young man and that young woman. Visit them In their homes. See that they have the right kind of companionship. When they are absent from the bouse of God learn why they are absent and tell them that they are missed." Individual responsibilities for Individuals that Is the great mul tiplying slogan of the Methodist “class system.” For whom, O Christian man. are you responsible In Christ’s name? The Methodist church, In the next place, Is a singing church, whose songs arc marly always keyed to the tune of hope and Joy and the glorious har monics of a blessed hereafter. It Is a church whose music Is tilled with hal leluiah choruses and battle hymns and Inspiring marching melodics. It Is a church which believes that our thanks and gratitude for blessings received can be returned to God us well when standing upon our feet and, In the words of the psalmist, “singing unto the I-ord," as when on bended knee w* oCL-r them In client prayer in th* closet.
