It i8 interesting to note that in the sixty-six years of our s pirate exist e ice as an integral part of American Methodism, although much of our territory was the scene of the grent .st civil war in history, at whose be ginning the south was accredited v. ith thirty per cent nf the wealth of the country and at Us clow with only rieht per cent, the Methodist Episco pal rnurcn. noma, unci all indebtedness, has now not less than $75,000,000 in property. Includ ing churches, parsonages, schoo's. orphan-ges hospitals publishing house, endowments, and loan funds. There is aniniaily a notaMe increase in tin- amount gion Tor the support of the mliiMry and for conference i liiinirints. amounting during the last year to $-l.T7s.KaT, an increase over the previous year of $371, "Si. There was paid last year some $4. OHO. nun for churches and parsonages alone, until now we h.-ve 16.239 churches and t.'.'Ti i-nrs'inn'S, for many of which latter we are Indebted to th" women of the Woman's Home Mis Hionarv society. Now. after giving M.fliiu.niMi annually for church equip ment at home and for ministerial support, it Is fitting that we should rive l.i millions for education and church extension and missions.

Orape-Nuts food had helped their f imlly. She says Grape-Nuts was first brought to her attention In Charlotte, where she visited. ' "While I wan there 1 used the food regularly. I gained about IS pounds ana felt to well that when I returned home I began using Gape-Nuta In the family regularly. "My little 1 8-months-old baby shortly after beln,,' weaned waa vary 111 with dyspepsia and teething. She waa sick nine weeks and we tried everything. She became ao emaciated that It waa painful to handle her and we thought w were going to lose her. On day a happy thought urged me to try Grape-Nuta siaked in a Utile warm milk. . , "Well, it worked like a charm and die began taking It regularly and Im provement aet in at once. Bhe la now getting well and round and fat as fast hb possible and on Grape-Nuts. "Sometime ago several of tha fam ily wer stricken with I Grippe a the (kmc time, and during the worst tuge could not relish anything In the shape of food but Grape-Nuts and oranges, everything else nauseating us..

Considering the relative density of population for more than a century, the largest returns of Methodist preaching have always been in the South. Thus in ISfiO each church had increased some '100, 00ft in member ship since the division sixteen years before, despite the then denser popu lation of the North. In 1S64 the General Conference o' the Methodist Episcopal church faced a loss during the quadrennium of five per cent, of their membership, while nt the close of the Civil war we had ::00.000 less members than The begin nitig. J)es pite our lojvfif i:!uTfrtscjJUr("nmom bers In itvo years mostly to the Milh odist Fpiscopal church and to the African Methodist Episcopal church i. our L'n in membership was over twentv yer cent, in those two years I-'nun lsi: to lSiio our gain in mem bership ivSs over 1:57 per cent, while ihe gain ofNtiie Mithcdist Episcopal church was Vghtv-one per cent, or fifty-six per cit less. In the mean time we deduAted all our colored members. whielV had numbered 207, 7 in: when the wr began. It will be remembered tlintv nearly "OO.nflO of the membership V the Methodist Episcopal church ie colored and from the South, V.-Vh has ever been a fruitful lieli whe r.OTi.OOO are from foreign iission Yields Reckon ing on the basis of wiVie membership alone in the Continent; Tinted States, the disparity is not so great in the comparative number of members, and. reckoning on the bosis of present den sitv of population, tin- growth of the M'hodist Episcopal cjiiirch. South, is uie i. rgcv. in tact, our growth las; year snowed a net increase of 61,051. that of the Methodist Episcopal ch u n ii was ii::,047. Now that we are pre.'.ching the gospel in (ierman.

It7ili;in rionemlan, and Span ish on our own soil, we may well i.arn from the enterprise of our sister church which has followed nn her religious work begun among the Im migrants until she has not less than Htl, 000 members in Scandinavia, Ger many, and Italy. To her, we rejoice. Is given the privilege that Paul longed for to preach the gospel to them that are in Home also. Paul, after he stopped persecuting them of thi Way, or meinou, became himself rather fond of the early Methodists: and all later Methodist elnlm Paul as their apostle, despite some things in his writings hard to be understood, a Peter found them.

Blshon McK.n drt put himself In aocord with the spirit of Amartcan Institutions by his statesmanlik view In this General Conference of 1808, which gave us at once our constitution and our s-reat .mirriciin uisnop, who was also Justly cioKiuwu u our great Chief Justice our John Marshall in Interpreting the constitution.

These two great legal minds held that the general superintendents aa elected by in uenerai t onrertnc are rennaltn. rlcs of executive power, and are held responsible as overseen of the whole church, being accountable to the General Conference for their adminis tration.

Should an an nual conference dissent from the doc trine or discipline of the church, the bishop should enter his protest and bring the case before the ensuing General Conference, as well as give an account of his own administration. The ("liiii'i li anil the Negro. No church has better understood or been more successful In its work for the negro than has ours, until now the more thoughtful men of the nation are turning to us for counsel, nnd the negro himself for leadership. We have maintained the most cordial re lations with our contingent of negro Methodists so long organically con nected with us, and who since their separation have grown from less than 20.000 in 170 to 2:i::,tion in 1910, with more than sn. two. 000 in church prop erty, aside from their schools and col leges. Their growth during the six teen vears covi red by the last cen.- js was :' 1.7 per cent, while the growth of the' African Methodist Episcopal church (the largest lmdy of negro Methodists' was !.:! per cent,. For twenty-tive years their oldest colleges, which we helped to found and main tain, have done much toward recruit ing their ministry with worthy lead ers. They lack what is nll-impoit;in' I to their best development as a church tin missionary passion. They are tow being moved with a deepening desire to obey the great commission. How shall we, their spiritual f.itlnrs and trusted leaders, help them to liud lliemselv. s in this new age'.' l'lider the hadcr:ship of men like Iti.-hops Andrew and Capers and Pq'-ie. a sin gle Anical Conference wajVinown to raise each year as much as $25, 000 for missionary work and among the negroes. Kola rt P;iine, as early as in lS'j:!, offered himself as a missionary to Africa, asking to be accompanied by selected companions from among the negro preachers of the South. That spirit gave us more than 200.00!) onverts among the negrois In this MUniry before the Civil w'.ir ithe irgest returns from missionary work among ihe heathen then known in history. Their songs and prayers safe guarded many a plantation home In the darkest days of fraclicldal strife. We owe them no less a debt of grati tude than they owe us. for we were 'companions in the sorrowful wav." Methodism has never fairly faced Mo hammedanism, the most formidable foe of Christianity, Africa Is now be coming the great field of the propa- ganillsts of the religion of the false prophet. TUe battlefield of the twen tieth century is the Dark Continent. Shall Ethiopia In vain stretch out her hands unto God, and our great Meth odism, more in sympathy with the negro than any other, and better cap able of Inspiring and directing his labors, have no part in the conquest of the Dark Continent for our un'ii : Is not the force actually preparing for our leadership, as when young Paine longed to go out to battle? May we not hope and pray that the greatest chapter in Ihe history of missions shall be this yet unwritten chapter which the hand of God shall write in Africa as he: leads ournwakefled min isters and laymen to their gracious and glorious open door of opportu nity? A Flexible Time Limit. Methodism follows the genius of its founder hseeking to adapt Itself to changed conditions, especially on the frontiers and In the great cities. In the more primitive ..ays the inter changes "of preachers often took place every six Inonths, .so as to give the people the most aggressive? work In men. Our early fathers did not have many sermons; but they were on the great doctrines, and they were mighty to Uie pulling down of the strongholds of win and Satan. The need of more pastoral supervision and the carrying out of larger plans for city church extension work undi-r experienced leaders led to the extension of the limit ultimately with us to four years Petitions for the further extension of the limit, or ten ils removal, will Coptlrujd oiijpagti thrit.
