A GREAT MEETING
Methodist Episcopal Conference
Greatest in Church History.
UNITY OF ACTION PREVAILS
Chnrch Code ltalied anil llolea Kegnla-
tine CUondnct nt Clergy anil Mem-
baaa Acled I'pnti.
The general conference of the Meth
odist Episcopal church finished the
final roll call at ls Angeles, Califor
nia, which brought to a close the most
memorable gathering In the history of
the. church. Memorial services were
hold during tho afternoon and in the
venlng a Jubilee sen Ice In the pavil
ion closed the scries of meetings.
The conference Just closed has ac
complished much for the Interest of the
Methodist church and will go down in
church history as one of the most Im
portant In the point of legislative ac
tion. The nctlon of the general conference
In retiring five bishops nnd electing
eleven others probably ntttacted the
widest attention of any other blngle
happening, but there were runny other
Bubjects that affected the great mem
bership of tho Methodist church and
which were watched with dtcp Inter
est. Among theso were the decision to
stand by the present attitude of the
church on the subject of prohibited
amusements; the refusal to return to
the time limit of pastoral services; the
exonerating of certain theolnglcnl
BchoolH of the charge of heretical
teachings; tho unification of' the Meth
odist publishing houses; the consolida
tion of the boards of church benevo
lences; providing tneana to support for
Hiipcrannunted minister; fixing the
status of superannuated bishops; creat
ing a commission to revise the ritual
of the church; continuing the commis
sion appointed four years ago to bring
tho various branches of Methodism
closer together In the use of common
prayer book, hymnal nnd cnthechlsmh;
n referendum of the much discussed
question of a colored bishop nod many
othejr matters of bmnller Importance.
The memorial sermons were given in
nearly every protcstant ihurch In Los
Angeles, nnd in other nearby cltleH by
MsLopB or ministers In attendance
upon the conference.
DIVIDE CHURCH AND STATE
Movement In France Toward thl Knd
llrlng Actively Made.
Premier Combes' announcement that
the question of tho sepnratlbn of the
church and state would come up in
January In France has drawn atten
tion to the law already formulated by
the committee, on the separation of
church and Mute. It is n sweeping
measure, the opening clauses reading
as follows:
"The republic aseures freedom of
conscience and It guarantees the free
exercise of religion without restriction,
except for the preservation of public
oilier.
"The republic will neither protect
nor pay salaries for subventions under
any form whatever to any demonina
tlon. It will not recognize uny min
ister of religion, and will not furnish
any building for the services of any
denomination or for the lodging of any
of its ministers."
The measure further abolishes the
concordat, suppress trie French em
bassy at the vatlcnn and makes de
tailed provision for the disposal of the
government's extensive possession of
church property.
In comparison with the present re
gime, under which the clergy are sal
aried officials and the minister of public
worship Is one of the members of the
cabinet, the forecoing makes a strik
ing change In lonfc established secular
conditions.

"MUST BE WORTHY."
An Kxtrart from I'realdrnt Itminevelt'a
Speech ill (jellynlitirK.
At the Memorial services on the
buttle ground nt Gettysburg, Pa., Pres
ident Roosevelt was Introduced by
Governor Penny packer.
Following Is an extract from his
rpcech:
"Freedom Is not a gift which can be
enjoyed save by those who show them
telves worthy of It. In this world no
privilege can be permanently appro
printed by men who have not the
power and the will to successfully as
sume the tesponsiblllty of using It
aright. In his recent admirable little
volutno on freedom and responsibility
In democratic government, President
Hadley of Yale has pointed out that
the freedom which Is worth anything
Is the freedom which means self-government
and not anarchy.
"Freedom thus conceived Is a con
tructlve force, which enables an Intel
ligent nnd good man to do better
things than he could do without It;
which Is In llsest-cnse the substitution
of self-restraint for external restraint
the substitution of-a form of re
st inlnt wlrlch promotes piogrehs for
the form which ic lards It. This Is the
right view of fieedom; but It can only
lie taken If there Is a full recognition
of the close connection between lib
erty nnd responsibility In every do
main of human thought. It wns essen
tially the view tnken by Abraham Lin
coln, nnd by nil those who, when the
civil war broke out, realized that In a
self-governing democracy tlms-p who
desire to be considered fit to enjoy lib
erty must show that they know how to
use It with moderation and justice In
peace, nnd how to fight for It when It
Is Jeopardized by malice, domestic or
foreign."
