Proceedings of the (Ecumenical Methodist Conference, Held in City Road ...

of the United States, and so on. But there is a common ground on which they can all meet, and the present Conference is designed to make that fact clear. Altogether the meeting is a remarkable one, and the Methodists anticipate important results from its deliberations.

The same paper said: The Americans seem to be more and more at home with their brethren of the Western world, and the longer they stay the better the English like them. Either the American Churches must have sent all their best men, or the prejudices which some people have with regard to Americans are without any foundation. The meeting together of so many leading "Britishers" with the representatives of the United States will be of considerable service in promoting amity between the two nations. The talk increases about another Ecumenical Conference.

The Christian World's "Special Correspondent:" The proceedings of the Methodist Ecumenical Conference have been sustained with unflagging spirit during the week, and have excited great interest and drawn together large audiences, in addition to the actual members of the assembly. The quality of the speaking, has, of course, varied considerably; but the average has been high, and the American delegates have certainly shown no disposition to hide their light under a bushel, so far as contributions to the oratory are concerned. The tendency of the discussions has perhaps been occasionally rather more in the direction of eulogy and jubilation, as distinguished from criticism of Methodist operations, than was quite desirable, and there has been scarcely a trace of that despondent pessimism which is so much in vogue in some ecclesiastical assemblies.

The Manchester Examiner: To-day the Methodist Ecumenical Council closes its session in London. For twelve days delegates from every Wesleyan body in the world sat in the Metropolitan Cathedral of Methodism the City-road Chapel. It is only just praise to say that they have done a good stroke of business, and that their assembly merits the name of "Ecumenical" at least as well as many other bodies which have arrogated to themselves the exclusive use of the word. So far as the matters discussed have any general bearing they are now open to criticism. Daily reports have been issued to the world; and the penalty of this wide publicity-if penalty it be-is liability to free comment. We do not apprehend that Wesleyans have any desire to shirk observation. They have never yet been accused of hiding their light under a bushel. To say nothing of the Ecumenical Council, which must be deemed an exceptional phenomenon, the ordinary sittings of the Wesleyan Conference in England absorb as large a share of public attention as those of any religious body. Wesleyanism is a plant of vigorous growth. Transplanted to a foreign soil it adapts itself to new conditions, and takes on new characters without losing its specific identity. The strength of Wesleyanism is seen in the fact that it has survived the shock which would have destroyed a weaker system. The glory of Wesleyanism is seen in the fact that there is no longer a schism. The separate function and mission of each of these bodies is acknowledged by all the others, and the various Methodist sections now take friendly counsel with each other for the promotion of the common good. They have abandoned the impossible dream of a uniform Christianity, or even of a uniform Methodism. They are content to be united, without being uniform. Of all considerable bodies of Christians, the Wesleyans have probably departed least from their original standards. The wave of "freethinking "—a word which we are compelled to use for want of a better-which has passed over other religious sects, has almost left them untouched. For good or for evil, the fact must be recognised.
