DETROIT MAN SPEAKS 3 New York Delegate Would Keep Race Question Out BISHOPS' ADDRESS IS READ They Warn Against Current Evils and Recommend That a Chapter on Popular Amusements Be Added to Discipline. LOS ANGELES. May 5. The Methodist General Conference held two sessions to day, the morning session being devoted to the reading of the quadriennal address of the board of blhops of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the General Confer ence, and the afternoon to the receipt and reference of memorials from the various annual conferences. The morning session was presided over by Bishop Henry W. Warren and the af ternoon session by Bishop J. W. "Walden. The various committees got together dur ing the early morning hours, and elected their respective chalt men and secretaries, but as there was no business before them, adjournments were taken Mintll tomorrow. Beginning tomorrow the General Confer ence will hold sessions only In the morn ing, thus allowing the delegates to give their attention during the afternoons to :ommittee work. Dr. George Elliott, of Detroit, presented a memorial to the effect that the commit tee on episcopacy consider the advisabil ity of the election of a colored bishop. He said he believed the Methodist Episcopal Church had reached a crisis In Its rela tions with the colored race. Plea for Negroes in a Nutshell. "If wc are to hold the 300,000 colored membership we now have," he said, "we Dught to give them some sort of leadership which they understand and. trust and which understands them." Charles P. McClelland, of New York, lay delegate, spoke in opposition to Dr. Elliott's resolution. Mr. McClelland said he was very sorry this resolution was of fered at this time: that If the church had reached a crisis In Its relations with the colored people. It was brought about by just such resolutions as this. He believed that the race question had been brought before the conference entirely too much, and said he hoped the present conference would see an end to this agitation. He was willing, he said, to see any man elevated to episcopal honors, regardless of color, when that man should attain such worth and distinction as would warrant this high recognition. A resolution was offered by Rev. Horace Jacobs, of Central Pennsylvania Confer ence, to request the publishers of the Dally Christian Advocate, the official or gan of the conference, to withdraw from Its advertising columns all reference to Sunday newspapers. One of the publishers "of the Advocate gave assurance to the conference that If the resolution should be withdrawn, there would be no further cause for complaint on that score. Address of Bishops. The reading of the quadrennial address of the bishops of the Methodist Episcopal Church to the General Conference was the feature of the day's session. Bishop Cyrus D. Foss, of Philadelphia, read the address. It elaborately reviewed the sta tistical records of the past four years, and set before the conference many of the current problems which the church Is facing. The present membership of the church was reported as 3.031.91S. an Increase of 138,025 during the four years. The Sunday schools include an agregate of 3,124,644. The world-wide scope of the work of the church was Indicated by the brief review of the administration of bishops In for eign lands. Three features of the last quadrennlum were emphasized as stand ing out prominently the twentieth century thank offering movement, which brought f20.000.000 Into the treasury of the church for the work of education, philanthropy and debt iaylng; the open-door emergency missionary revival, which has Inspired the church with new generosity, and the bi centennial observances, which all over the English-speaking world commemorated the :0th. anniversary of John "Wesley's birth. Relations With Southern Methodists The American University at Washington was strongly commended, as well as the Woman's College of Baltimore, which In directly suffered severe losses during the recent ilro In that city. The relations be tween the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Church South were declared to be growing more fraternal and intimate. A common hym nal, a common catechism and a uniform order of service are almost ready for publication, and these will draw the bod ies still more closely together. The sug gestion was made that some mutual ar rangement should bo made whereby trans fer of ministers and members from one of these denominations to the other should be expedited and made easy.- The question of supervising foreign mis sions fields, whether by occasional visits of general superintendents from this coun try; by the residence of one of them In a mission field for a period of four years at a time, or by tho permanent supervis ion of a missionary bishop, whose epis copal services shall be confined to that particular field, was urged upon the con ference as ono of the most Important questions to be considered. The time limit in the pastorate was referred to as one of the matters wnich would claim atten tion. Warnings Against Evils. Warnings wore given against the current evils of the time, political corruption, the liquor traffic, the tyranny of trades-unionism, the greed of unscrupulous employers, lynching, the negro question and Mormon Ism. A recommendation was made that a new chapter on popular amusements be added to the discipline, admonlstlng Meth odists to guard their spiritual life and to avoid such amusements as have a dan gerous or demoralizing tendency. Tho chapter Is Intended to take the place of the present paragraph, No. 24S, which occasioned jnuch discussion at the General Conference at Chicago, four years ago. The address, as a whole, made a deep impression, and was received at the end with hearty applause. A local railroad manager estimated that a total of 20.000 delegates and visitors have arrived in the city. Rev. Thomas B. Ford, a presiding elder from Oregon, Is confined to his room with a serious illness.
