An encouraging feature of the work through Indiana Is that many of the visitors nro homu seekers of the better class.

The first essay of the session was on tbo subject , "Christian Uosourcos of the Old World. " by S. Simon of the Weslcyau Methodist cuurcli , Kent. Will Hall n United Methodism. Uov. Dr. Watts of London made the first address. Ho said : Our financial resources are augmenting treatly. Vet : i Christian mlllloiinlin should be an I in possibility. Our Int-lleetual re sources aio multiplying innrvollonsly. Old barriers aio buing broken down. Commerce and -iclonco are ( . ointnlnxling the people.

" Kev. J. M.

[ Applause. ] Bishop ICoeno of the Methodist Episcopal church south had , ho said , been much dis turbed nt the spirit of higher criticism shown , and pnrticularlv by the British Wes- loynns. The bishop adjured the brethren to tu'ko the problem of evolution homo with them ; got down and look at It. There was notulng Iu the Darwinian theory if you take the time out of It. The greatest thing about Mr. Wesley was that ho anew what to got rid of. lie admired greatly his English friends now iu the conference , but ho had n word of ndvlco for them : "Go homo ; get rid of this doctrine that puts a bomb nt the bottom of the Pentateuch nnd Moses that will blow you up If you don't got rid of it. If you can't get rid of the doctrine got rid of the men and the institutions that teach It , no matter how dear they are to you. They will blow you up If you da not , 1 mustconfcss this is the first great fissure In the Methodist faith. There have been schisms , but this is the first Ilssuro. This is not speculation. Knock the tlmo out of Darwinism and there is nothing loft of it. " A recess was then taken. Bishop John -B. Hurst of Washington called the council to order this afternoon for thu InU tlmo of the twenty-seven sessions it has hole * during Iho past two weeks.

The topic of the day , "Tho Outlook , " was then again taken up. Thu last cssav of the conference was read by Hov. D. J. M. Buck ley , editor of the Now ork Christian Advo cate. His special subject wls : . "Tho Church of the Future. " Ho said in part : Turnln ? to thu ultimate future of the church.a may at oneo dismiss all fo.ir. Thu ultimate church will enforeo no theory ot In spiration : the church will then havu a .simple yet comprehensive orood , rovuiillnu thoosson- llals of salvation , Tbt > rules of the ultimate ohuieh will bn tuw , Thu mania for making now laws for Cod's people upon points'upon which Inspiration bus not spoken , will glvu place to the Christian liberty inhibited by St. .lames ami endoised and illustrated by St. I'anl.

Knowledge will not bo found without /oiil , or /ual without knowledge ; discipline will bo helpful lo the penitent but not tolerant to the incoirlglhlo ; sclenee nnd religion will walk Imnd In hand : tlioiih : till thu last there may be irreligious scientists and Rome Christians so Ignorant or timid as to fear that thu m- crua'-u of Knowledge lu the sphuro of nature necessarily Implies thu deatiuutlon of faith In the lealm of knowledge. Hov. W. J. Dawson of the Woaloynn Methodist Episcopal church , England , fol lowed. Ho said : * ' Too long the church had been keeping Its eye on heaven and falling to see the injustice of earth [ cries of Oh , noJ depend upon it , If Iho people within the walls did not bellevo that u vast multitude outside did so. De mocracy In the state meant democracy In the church nnd jnost democratic Churches would win. Autocracy In the church was doomed. No church ministering to the intellectual aristocracy would bo the church of the twentieth century. The trend of politics was towards social reconstruction. The toilers were justly disconcerted , Chris tians were followers of a dlvlno socialist. If men could get the socialism of Jesus they would got the social- Is in of the devil.
