The coming quadrennial session of the
general conference of the Methodist Epis
copal church, to be held In Los Angeles,
opening on May 4, promises to be fraught
with stirring and Important Issues and
incidents. The nature of the work before
the conference is thus detailed by. Rev.
tr. Jesse Bowman Toung in the St. Louis
Republic:
The denomination has more than 1,000.0(0
members, and la the parent body of the
Methodist family In this country, which In
cludes the Methodist Episcopal church,
south, with 1,600.006 members, the African,
the Colored, and the African Zlon Metho
dist Episcopal churches, with an aggregate
of a million and a half; the Methodist
Protestant, with nearly 200.000, and some
minor denominations, making S.3O0.0OQ mem
bers. All together Methodism has f, 000, 000
communicants In the United States, mak
ing this family by all odds the strongest
la American Protestanlsm.
Accordingly the meeting of the chief
council of the leading Methodist denomi
nation for a three or four weeks' session,
after an Interval of four years, will com
mand the attention of millions of directly
interested people. In addition ta multitudes
In other denominations, who are drawn by
a touch of sympathetic Interest to the con
sideration of all movements which have In
them promise of good for the public at
large. Tha legislation to be enacted, the
lection of officials of various sorts, blsh
'opa. secretaries, publishing agents and
editors, and discussions to be carried on
Will be of uncommon Interest.
Lay Representation.
The general conference will be com
posed of about '760 delegates, one-half of
them laymen. Of thla last body about a
core will be women a fact which divides
thla session of 1D04 off from all former
meeting of this character. Never before
nave women had an unchallenged right
to scats as delegates In the lawmaking
body of this denomination, and their ap
pearance at Los Angeles with proper cred
ential and their participation in the doings
of tha body will register an epoch in the
history of the denomination. '
In May, MS, at the opening of the
general conference In New York City,
five women of prominence, one of them
Mlsa Franca EX Wlllard, who had been
elected by lay electoral conferences a
delegates, appeared to claim their right.
They were denied seat, and after a long
debate It was decided that a new amend
ment must be adopted In order to give
women equal right with men In this re
gard. A fight. In the paper. In the an
nual conferences, and In book form, went
on for a dosen years before the new con
stitution, recognising women a "laymen"
with the right to be chosen as lay dele
gates, was adopted. Accordingly the women
will be at Los Angeles, at least a score
of them, as delegates.
Mtaalaamry Blsbepe.
The various question pertaining to tho
episcopacy will attract close and Inter'
ested attention, not only on the part of
tti delegates, but on the part of the church
at large. On of these question touches
tha method of administering the work In
foreign - lands, especially In eastern and
out hern Asia, where great and growthful
missionary operations under Methodist
auspice ,ar being carried on. For the
last quadrennium the work In China. Core
and Japan ha been under the care of
Bishop David H. Moore, .formerly editor
of the W extern Chriatian Advocate in Cin
cinnati. That assignment was. It Is under
stood, only for the quadrennium, and i
new man, or pernapa l wo or mre new
men, will be asaignad to that , vast field.
Bishop Moor believes that missionary
bishop should be chosen. In view of the
growing needs of that section, on for
each of the countries named.
Administration by mean, of missionary
blahops has proved to be a great success
In Africa, under Bishop J. C. Hartell.
formerly of Cincinnati, and In India, under
Bishop Thoburn, assisted by Bishop Par
ker, now dead, and Bishop Warne, on
whom the burden of the local administra
tion ha largely fallen for the last four
year.-
Methodist missions In the Philippine
Islands have also developed so rapidly that
some believe that a missionary bishop
should be chosen for that field alone. In
dia, It I announced, has asked for two ad
dttlonal missionary blahops, and "Latin
America," including the mission In Porto
Tyco and In South America, needs closer
supervision than can be given by occa
sional visits from the "general superin
tendents," as the bishops of the church. In
distinction from the missionary blahops.
whoss episcopal Jurisdiction ta confined to
their own fields alone, are sometimes
called. Then, Mexico Is a field already
large enough, so far as Methodist occupa
tlon and mission work are concerned, to
Justify ths selection of a missionary bishop
tor that region.
It I agreed on every aide that several
new men will be elected to ths list of
general superintendents - Bishop B. M
Men-ill, who has been In the eplsoopacy
race ib i, ons or the ablest men ever
lected to that place, will be Tf years of
ags nsit September,, and It has been an
nounced by his friends that he will ask
to be put on the superannuated list.
Bishop Hurst, Foster and Nlnde have
dld during the quadrennium, and sit of
the others on the effective list are In
their seventies. It Is felt that an Infusion
of fresh blood Is a necessity, ngt only to
supply the vacancies created by death
and retirement, but for Increased effective
ness for the new quadrennium. How many
will be elected no man. can now say.
The bishops themselves will report how
many In their Judgment are needed. The
committee on episcopacy will then survey
the field and consider Its needs snd re
port to the general conference their con
victions in the matter. Finally, that body
will, by a majority vote, agree what num
ber to elect, possibly five or six new ones,
besides the missionary bishops who may
be chosen.
What Men
Be rheaea.
Will
Episcopal timber is Just now In evidence
In all directions. It Is not believed that
the men who have been mentioned for
promotion to the episcopacy have had
to do with the mention of their names,
or with the quiet canvass which haa
been going on In regard to their fitness
for the great work which a Methodlat
bishop must do.
The ideal qualities for the office are of
a high order. A btshop needs to be a
preacher of mors than ordinary gifts, a
man of scholarly qualities and attainments,
a Judge of human nature, a man of ex
ecutive dispatch and of administrative
ability, and of unquestioned Integrity and
religious devotion.
Among the men who are now In ths
mind of the church as possessing some of
these qualities are: President Bashford of
Ohio Wesleyan university, Chancellor Day
of Syracuse university. Dr. H, CL Jennings
of the Western Methodist Book Concern,
Bev. Dr. J. F. Barry of the Epworth
Herald, Rev. Dr. Levl Gilbert of the
Western Christian Advocate, Rev. Dr. W.
I. Haven, one of the secretaries of the
American Bible society; Rev. Ir. Henry
Bpellmeyer of Newark, N. J., a pastor In
that city; Rev. Dr. George P. Eckman of
New York City. Rev. Dr. James M. Buck
ley of the Christian Advocate, a man who
has had at his disposal. In substance, this
office for the last twelve years, but who
has refused to allow himself to be put
forth as a candidate because, for one
thing, he has considered that the editorial
field Is a larger one than the episcopacy;
Rev. Dr. W. F. McDowell, secretary of
the Board of Education, New York City;
Rev. Dr. E. M. Taylor of Boston, a field
secretary of the Missionary society; Dr.
A- B. Leonard, corresponding secretary of
the Missionary society; Rev. Dr. T. B.
Neely, secretary of the Sunday School
union. New York City; Rev. Dr. N.
Luccock, pastor Union church, St. Louis,
Mo.; Rev. Dr. John T. McFarland. pastor
First church, Topeka, Kan.; Rev. Dr.. W.
A. Quayle, pastor Grand Avenue church.
Kansas City, Mo.; Rev. Dr. P. II. Swift,
Chicago pastor; Rev. Dr. Charles J.
Little, president Garrett Biblical Institute,
Evanston, 111.; Rev. Dr. Q. F. Bovard,
president of the University of Southern
California; Chancellor Buchtel of the Unl
verslty of - Denver, Rev. Dr. thither B.
Wilson of Baltimore, and Rev. Dr. John
Franklin Goucher, president of the
Woman's college of Baltimore.
It Is probable that the list contains with
out question the name of ths men who
will be chosen as bishop, but how many
of them will reach the episcopacy at the
coming general conference Is. of course,
now uncertain. It may be added that thus
far In Its history the church ha been ex
ceedlngly fortunate lit the type of men
who have been selected for ths high office
of bishop. Soma of them have been
lh full measure great administrators and
great preachers, while all of them have been
men of unquestioned devotion, of recog
nixed gifts snd usefulness, who have dons
a very creditable work. : -
. World-Wide ftcepe
. In addition to the episcopal addresses.
ths reports of the bishops who have ad
ministered foreign mission fields will at
tract close attention. Bishop John H.
Vincent, for Instance, will report on ths
condition of ths work In ths various Euro
pean countries where conferences have
been established. Bishops McCabe and
Joyce have each made two visitations to
ths missions in South America, Bishops
Thoburn and Warren have administered
ths work In India, and Bishop Hartsell in
Africa, while Bishop Moors haa spent ths
time In quadrennium In China, Japan and
Cores. Through ths official re presenta
tions of these leaders the whole world In
Its needs and claims will be brought be
fore the vision of the general conference.
It la worth noting, further, that the de
nomination hss now upon its rolls In for
elgn Isnda 114,000 members, many of them
converts from heathenism.
Ceaaolldatlea Men. sure.
Two: plans Involving consolidation of
great enterprises will occupy tha atten
tion of the general conference.
One of them Involve ths unification of
the Methodist Book Concern In New York
City and Its depositories In Detroit, Bos
ton, Pittsburg and Ban Francisco with
ths Western. Methodist Book Concern
which has Its location In Cincinnati, and
its depositories In Kansas City and Chi
cago. An elaborate . plan for the consoll
datlon of all these various establishments
under a single head and In unity of ad
ministration has been prepared by the
book committee and will be considered by
the conference at Loa Angeles. It Is not
Intended to uproot any of these establish
ments entirely from the place they now
occupy. The Idea, however, la to consoli
date ths manufacturing plant In one
central place for purposes of convenience

sad economy, and to elect on publishing
sgnt with three assistants. Instead of two
publishing agents for the western house
and two publishing agents for ths eastern
house, as st present arranged
The book committee, however. Is not a
unit In Its conviction upon this subject.
Ths discussion will first be carried on In
the general conference committee on book
concern at Los Angeles. Its conclusion
will then be brought before the general
conference, and at that time there will
probably be a great debate. Local inter
ests In Chicago, New Tork and Cincinnati
are at stake, and at this writing It does
not seem probable that the general con
ference will adopt any revolutionary
scheme of consolidation.
The sentiment of the church at large.
however, seems to be In favor of some
plan of unification of administration and
policy, and It Is likely that a modified
form ot administrative unity will be
adopted, or that a commission will be ap
pointed to consider the matter In all of
Its aspect during the next quadrennium
and report a plan for consideration and
possible adoption at the general conference
of 1908.
Consolidation ef Beneve-Ienees.
Ths other consolidation scheme alluded
to pertains to ths coalescence of the va
rious benevolent organisations of the
church. It Is proposed to divide the Mis
sionary society In two branches, a home
society and a foreign society, dealing re
spectively with the fields thus Indicated,
to consolidate with the home society the
Board of Church Extension, and to fuse
the Board of Education, the Sunday School
union, the Tract society and ths Freed
raen's Aid and Southern Education so
ciety Into one organisation. This scheme
will be most earnestly advocated, and, on
the other hand. It will be vehemently op
posed. It Is understood that managers of
these societies and their secretaries are
not In favor of consolidation. The Freed-
men s Aid society in Cincinnati, It Is
claimed, is too large an enterprise to ad
mit of Its being wisely Joined In adminis
trative operation with any other board of
the church.
It superintends scores of schools in the
south, with hundreds of teachers and
10.000 pupils. It " has property Interests
amounting to $2,000,000 In value. The field
la growing and now requires the thought
and time of two secretaries to administer
It, In addition to tha labor gratuitously
given by the Board of Managers. One ar
gument for consolidation consists In the
plea that there are so many societies as
to involve a too ,'requent sppeal for col
lection, snd that It would be better for
all interests under consideration were the
people to have a cluster of two or three
put before them at one time, rather than
nave so many appeals for money to sup
port these "causes" urged upon them dur
ing the year. The clscusslon on this ques
tion will be cne of the ablest and most
stirring of all that takes place during the
session.
Time Limit Osce More.
One of the Inevitable themes of discus
sion, and of possible legislation, at the
coming general conference will be the
time dmlt in the IL'nerancy, which was re
moved four years ago by the quadrennial
conference In Chicago. From 188 until
1900 the limit of the pastoral term had
been five years; in 1804 the limit had been
Axed at two years; this term was ex
tended to three years in 1804. The new plan,
whereby pastors are appointed for a year
at a time, with the possibility of re
appointment annually without limit, In
case circumstances require, has been on
trial only four years, and yet in the
ciowded eastern conferences considerable
oppoKtion to It has developed. Bishops
have found It more difficult than formerly
to "fix the appointments," and the Itiner
ancy with the time limit removed has
seemed to them to be less flexible jind
helpful than before In Its operations. It
does not seem probable, however, that
after only four years of experimentation
the church Is going to retrace its steps and
readopt a time limit of pastoral service,
Many believe that the present system Is
nearly ideal In Its adaptations to ths needs
of ths oburch, making possible here and
there . a lengthy pastorate, and ' yet In
volving each year ths possibility of a
change In every charge. The discussions
on this theme will doubtless bs exciting
and able, and will enlist the best debates
of the body
The Faanea Paurasprapsi MS.
Another question coming up for consid
eration at the general conferenoe ha to
do with the matter of secular amusements
A paragraph was adopted by the general
conference of 1871 which has given trouble
and occasioned perplexity to pastors' and
people, and to ths general conference as
wslL ever since that time. Under the head
of "Imprudent and Unchristian Conduct,"
ths paragraph aforesaid Includes "dancing,
playing at games of chance, attending
theaters, horse races, circuses, dancing
parties, or patronising dancing schools, or
taking such, other amueronts as are of
obviously misleading or questionable moral
tendency." These matters ax enumerated
along with "buying, selling or using In
toxlcstlng liquors ss a beverage, signing
petitions in favor of granting license for
the sale of Intoxicating liquors snd dis
obedience to the order and discipline of the
church," and pastors are Instructed, in
esse of disobedience to this rule, first, to
glvs private reproof; seoondly. If - there
be no private humilil-"n, to admonish the
offender In the presence of one or two dis
creet members of the church; and, on a
third offense, to bring the person accused
to trial, with a view to expulsion.
The lew has largely been a dead letter.
Many have claimed, with soma show of
reason, that the various elements of eon
duct described In thst paragraph are not
at all of ths asms plans; that warnings
against worldly amusement ought to be
made advisory, persuasive and admon
itory, rather than mandatory and punitive
In their character; that young people es
pecially csn be more easily and wisely
reached and managed by an appeal to
their Judgment, their heart and their moral
sense, rather than by a method which
holds a rod of terror over their heads,
and that there are some questions with
which ths Individual conscience. Instead
of church law, must of necessity deal.
At ths general conference In Chicago
four years sgo after an exciting and stren
uous debate, by a vote of E7 to T!t. a ma
jority report was accepted recommending
that no action la regard to paragraph 2 IS
be taken.
When, however, this minority report cam
fe be voted on finally for adoption It was
laid upon the table, so that It wit be
clearly seen that the situation from a par
liamentary standpoint during tha laat
quadrennium has been something of a per
plexity to wise administrators. Whatever
action may be taken at Los Angeles, It Is
clear that tha questions Involved will be
thoroughly discussed and ths church under
no circumstances, whether It may ratify
one soors or oa the other hand revoke
the paragraph as It now stands, will taka
an attitude which . can be construed ss
favoring rather than discountenancing the
forms ef amassment above Indicated. Ths
Question will resolve Itself Into a considera
tion of the best method of cultivating a
self-denying. Intelligent considerate and
conscientious form ef Christian living.
Of necessity considerable time end at
tention are given at each general confer
ence to the duties ef properly filling ths
various offices of the church. Ths other
offlclala, a well as ths new blahops, re
quire to be of a varied and high eMr of

SOCIAL CHARMS IN BERLIN
Eotranoicf Beauty of in Alpine
GiTsn st an lies! Host
BERLIN, March . (Special Correspond
ence to The Bee.) On Saturday evening,
February 20. It was my good fortune to
be a guest at the Aplne test given by
Mr. Hermann Knauer at his beautiful home
In Victoria Luise Plats. Mr. Knauer is not
only well known as an architect In Berlin,
but bis nsme Is also a familiar ons In
America, particularly New York and St.
Louis, where he has branch offices. He
has built the German government build
ing at the exposition, as well as the Ger
man Tyrolean Alps concessions, which
promises to be ODe of the most popular of
the many pleasure resorts on the "Pike"
of the 1904 World's fair.
A Tyrolean ball must under any and all
circumstances be very pretty, for there
are no costume more picturesque than
those worn by ths natives of the Tyrol.
This Tyrolean ball (said to be one of the
finest private affairs of the kind ever given
in Berlin) was, however, particularly at
tractive, owing to the vast amount of
time, work and money expended upon It.
Three of Mr. Knauer's drawing rooms were
for this occasion entirely closed, while
those remaining, with the large dining
room, reception hall and smaller conserva
tory, were transformed into a veritable
Tyrolean scene more properly speaking,
many scenes.
Over windows snd doors, extending from
celling to the floor, the entire walls were
covered with canvas on which was painted
most realistic views of different places of
this picturesque part of Germany. Every
picture was perhaps five feet In width and
all separated by green wood lattice work
to the heighth of about six feet. In each
of these charming little nooks was a table
set for six persons. A green carpet which
covered the floor added to the rustle effect
and reality of the scene, until one might
almost fancy that one was really In the
Tyrolean country. It Is quite impossible
to describe the beauty of the entire pic
ture. The different and attractive Tyrolean
costumes of the 130 Invited guests proved
ever a charming study. The servants and
waiters were also dressed In Alpine costume.
Lavish Hoapltallty.
Most elaborate was the supper menu
and champagne flowed as water. Between
ths supper courses the guests wandered at
will down the long corridor, prettily deco
rated with evergreens, with Eldelwels scat
tered here and there, to the beautiful ball
room and "tripped the light fantastic" In
the whirling, dlsxy German fashion, to the
strains of the orchestra stationed In an
adjoining room; or strolled out In the con
servatory. The cotillon began, naturally. In the
ball room, but the leader took us up
through the billiard room down the corri
dor to the Tyrolean scenes, and when we
returned to the dancing salle, found In the
center -of the room a prettily decorated
little chariot In which sat the lovely sis
ter of our host and a young lady friend,
who dispensed the cotillon favors.
Severs! flashlight pictures were taken
of the entire company, which like everthlng
undertaken by Mr. Knauer, proved a suc
cess. Arranged most attractively on a
table In the blllard room were lovely souv
enirs of all sorts, brought direct from the
Tyrol. Here each lady received some
pretty remembrance, its worth snd value
all In accordance to her luck in throwing
dice. But these were not the only tangi
ble souvenir we had. On entering each
one was given a bouquet of flowers and
also a huge envelope containing pretty
pictures, postal cards and a variety of
other Tyrolean' things.
About 11 o'clock the guests began to go
frequently to the long buffet arranged In
one of the rooms. Here girls In Tyrol
costumes served slmost anything one could
wish, from all klxids of meat sandwiches,
cheese sandwiches, hot Wienerwursts, to
cake, fruit, etc., with different kinds of
wine, beer or coffee.
Real Tyroleans.
I mention last, but by no means least
one of the most Interesting features of the
evening's program. This was ths arrival
of sixteen real Tyroleans who sre en
gaged to sing and dance In the German
Tyrolean Alps concession In St. Louis. Mr.
Knauer had them all corns from the
Tyrol only for this one night for the en
tertainment of his guests; snd that his
guests were appreciative was evident by the
enthusiasm demonstrated each of ths sev
eral times they sang and danced. Both
their singing and dancing Is particularly
pretty and graceful, as you will all see
In St. Louis this summer. The Boron von
Kleydorff, who married a niece of Adol
phus Busch, has a very fine baritone voice
and delighted every one by one or two se
lections. It was 7 o'clock the next morning when
the last guest reluctantly said goodby
to his hospitable host, for here In Ger
many a costume ball is often an all night
affair.
All of the guests carried away a most
delightful recollection of this Alpine fest,
which Is snother proof that Mr. Knauer
well deserves the reputation he is attain
ing in Berlin that of being an Ideal host,
and an invitation to bis beautiful home
Is greatly sought after and appreciated
by his many friends.
On March 29 he will sail with steamship
