The Lay Delegation Movement in the Methodist Episcopal Church.: Doting the month of Juno next a question will be submitted to the'votes of the entire membership of the Meth odist Episcopal Cburch, , male and fe male, above the . ago, of 21 years, the decision of which cannotlailtO ha're a marked ,influence for good or evil,uPon the, future Of that' largo and • "rapidly growing denomination. This question, is, whether the laity shall be.represen- Led in the legislative assembly of the Church, or whether the law-making power shall remain, as it he's hereto- fore, solely in the hands of the minis- 1 try. To fully apprechite the impor tance which Methodists themselves, of either way of thinking, attach to the result of the forthcoming expressions of the popular will, it will be well to glance at some of the circumstances of the origin and growth of Methodist Episcopacy as an ecclesiastical system. When John Wesley, in 1739, at the solicitation of Whitefield, who had preceded him in the work, commenced his public ministries as a fluid preacher in England, he had evidently no de sign of organizing a church; nor does it appear that subsequently, when he numbered his followers by thousands, and many societies had grown up, and were, with their pastors, under his supervising care, be had any thought of constructing an Ecclesiastical sys tem, outside and independent of the 'English Church, of which ho himself lived and died a member. He institu ted a Society as an Evangelizing Sup plement to the Established Church, and all the distinguishing'pecaliarities of this Society, except those pertain ing to religious faith and life, were the result of accident. In nothing is Wes ley's sagacity and fitness for leader ship more .elearly manifest than in "that bright intuition' which, as .by a 'flash, discerns the 'true meanings pf things present; and which, in the same iastant,•adapts itself to the shifting cir cumstances of,thehottr.or day." Lay preaching forced itself on .his attention as a good thing, and he adopted at; the class meetings arose by'accident, and became a part of his system. Be ing but a Society, and not a Church. Wesleyan Methodism was ruled by its founder with almost absnlute sway, and no Governmental functions or In dependent Liberty of action were al lowed to his preachers or to the people. In 1784, Mr. Wesley took the first step toward the organization of a "Church," and in this, as in other measures, he seems to .havelollowed only_where necessity or well-defined expediency led him. Previous to this time Methodists had considered them- Selves as Episcopalians, and had re ceived the sacraments in tke churches and from the ministers of 'the Estab lishment; but in Ameriea there were now some 84 Methodist preachers and 15,000 Methodist laymen. They were scattered all over the country, and the' Episcopal churches ,being few and in accessible to inany,.this large bOdy of Christians was deprived'ef all "church" relationship, 'and of participation in the sacraments. Wesley, pitying their condition, and yet wilthing to avoid "irregular" action, besought' the Bish op of London to ordain ministers who should administer ' the , sacraments among the American Methodists of America. The request being' refused he the - tight himself authorized by the necessities of 'the cited `to himself or dain Thomas Ccike,afready a Presby ter in the English ,phitrel t ,,i, Superin tendent or Bishop Or:America.. ,On ChriStmas day, 1784; as Many'ai pos sible ,of' the Methodist ,preachers in Atherica met in' Baltimore; BishOp_ Coke presiding,, and the Illethedist Episcopal, Church watifertnally,orgam. ized. . Though this church has, over, since, evinced the sattte_epti,tude in adapting its polity to changing circumstances, which characterized its founder, and which led to its own 001asstiesl ex istence, the respect and -voneration• felt for Wesley .j:11113 t induced the,pop tinuance, in the church,.. ot a system, based upon the practice of Mr. Wesley' toward his society. - Pon) the first the mlpistr}+ has heed the' Sae' legislative power, the 'people having,,no,effeeti,ve voice in the making of laws, and the 'election ofehureh officers.

Since that time the General Confer epees have consisted of delegated mem bers—themselves ministers, and chosen by ministers. The church edifices 'are held by laymen, but for the use of the church, and the pulpits can only be occupied by:such ministers as are ap pointed; by the bishops.' Probably no other church — organization exists so completely under clerical control: This has been owing to the influence of no especial class in the church ;. the ministers have arrogated to theinsehies no more than. has been - willingly con ceded by 'the people. There has been' a widespread repugnance to change The Church has boon well enough as it is. There has probably been no time when then the laity, taken as a whole, have been in advanee .of their ministers on the subject of laymen's rights. The subject of Lay Represen tation first began to be agitated among the. Methodists half a centurragoi and in 1826 the Rev. D. B. Dorsey was ex pelled frbm the Baltimore Atinual Con ference for circulating a' paper called ."Mutual Rights," 'the object of which was to advocate the introduction • of_ laymen into the Councils of the Church. .An ,appeal was taken to , the' General Conference 'of 1828, when ?the expul-' sion of :Mr. Dorsey:.was. confirmed.' This and other action on the same sub ject, taken by ,that body, led - to the se cession of a largo number of ministers and laymea who originated the "Meth odist Protestant Church," which, to day numbers—together with the"Meth- - , odist Church," which is an offshoot from it—no less than 122,000 mem bers. The subject continued to be die. cussed by many who preferred, to'in• licence the Church from within rather than to leave it. .In 1840 the General C,onforcoce said :. "We should proye. recreant to the trust committed to us Were we in the slightest degree' to yield to the Spirit of innovation." The General Conference of 1852 replied to petitions for a change, that there was "a strong opposition in the great mars of the meinbership to' the proposed change," and that therefore they deem ed it "inexpedient to alter the econo my of the allure')." During that year (1852), a paper called The Philadelphia Christian Advocate was started for the purpose of advancing Lay Representa tion. In 1856 the General ConferenCe spoke of the matter as one which might be practicably dealt with in the future, but thought that any change . would be inexpedient at that time. Petitions bearing on that subject were presented 'to - the General Conference of 1560. It was amply discussed, both in committee and in General Conference, which finally resolved, That we, the delegates of the Annual Conferences of the 'Methodist Episcopal Church in General Conference assembled, hero. by, approve of the introduction of Lay Representation into this body when it shall be ascertained,. that. the Church desires it." In order that the desire of the Church in the premises might be ascertained, measures were adopted.for having the question put to vote in every annual conference ' and in every congregation of the Church, in the years of 1861 and 1862. In the moan time the eivil,war arose, and lar ger anclanore exciting intorests,absorb ed the , popular attention. The vote was very light:, having been taken in compriratii , ely few churches. - As re pbrted" at the General Conference' of 1864 it .stood: Of. miniaters,.ll,33B votes for and, 3,069 against; of lay vo ters,, 28,884 and 47,855 against—giving a'elerical majority of 1,731, and a lay majority of 18,971 against Lay Repro sentation in the General Conference. The report on Lay Delegation adopted by this Conference declared, "That while we reaffirm our approval of Lay RepreSentation in the General Confer ence whenever it shall be ascertained that the Church desires see no such declaration of, the popular, will us to justify us in taking advanced action in relation to it." In July, 1860, a paper was 'Started in Neiv York City by a company of New York laymen,' for the purpose of advocating the interests of the laymen in the church. It bus been odited by the Rev. Dr. George Crooks, who has had as his associates'seme of The ablest writers of the deribmination. The spe cial work of this journal has been the dissemination of inthlligence r concern ing the lay representative movemeot, and arguments favorabfe thereto ; and such had been the change ih'the, pop. feeling'among' the Methodists, ,that none of their papers official and unofficial, ,are openly ,opposed to the "innovation" onee ,so strenuously re sisted,.and all but one or two are out speken'in dts ftivOr. . . Previous' to•the session of the Gen eral,Conference, in May,' 1868, most of the Annual Conferences had adopted resolutions favoring some . action on the subject of lay,representation by that body, , and ; petitions for, and Against such a course hed been • circu lated more; or, less,freely among the ,members. ,Thesri petitions wore pro ;sented, to ,the, Conference,; those favor ingA change l of church, polity, signed .by,25,519 male members of the church ,ah,ov,e, the ago of, : 21„ and petition op posed to a change signed . by 1,223. 7 After careful consideration, arid dili gent effort; recencile• conflicting views, .resolutions were oadopted 'by the nearly Unanimous vote'of 231 t 0.3, embodying 4i, plan by which • lay rep resetitatives,,chosehnby laymen, should bo admitted to seats and Totes, in the .General Conference,: the adoption: of the plan: being subject •to. the approval of the ministers 'and lay naembdrs the church, such. approval to be,,mani— fested in a way pointed out by , the resolutions; the seeohd of:which r`eiids bining the month of ,June , ,• 186 b, on any day except the Sabbath, the Mime TERMS, $2,00 a year in advance. to be deterinined :By the"pastor and the two laymen , typointed by the Quarterly Conference 'as hereinafter 'provided, there shall behold a general election in the several places of wor ship:Of the Meth - ddist E.

'The radical change which - has come over the` Methodist Episcopal Church in the last 40 years may be attributed to several causes. The character of the relation between the ministers and lay members has gradually changed. At first the great body'of the laity were poor add un cultivated. 'The intelligencel.'of the church was. largely in the-- ministry. and its very existence was maintained ,by the heroic and self,stteriftcing la. hors of the itinerant preachers, who re• ceiVed id return' but food 'for themseli'es and their' horses, and perhaps a suit of clothes, each year or two. The church es were scattered, travel was tedious and expensive, gratuitous attendance at a Ccitiferenee in 'a distant town was a privilege not 'to be desired; arid' so the laity readily acquiesced irtithe pot. icy maintained by ?their spiritual rulers. Things are not so now; the best' businee.s talent and legislative experience is now to be found among the laity, who aro as ready to devote Ahem to the interest of the Church, as they are to peur out their thousands a year to its support, and the'maintonance of its institutions. The financial interests of the Ghurch also, have become' gigantic in their proportions, and it.is queried whether their management should- he left ex clusivelye in the hands of a class of men who are called to the sole work of preaching the Gospel. The official pUblishing interests'of the Church rep resent a capital of nearly $1,500,000. The Missionary Society receives and disburses annually from $600,000 to $BOO,OOO. The Church Extension So ciety is appealing to the Church for hundreds of thousands. The 'Metho dists have six theological institutions, 23 uniyereities and colleges, and 85 seminaries of different grades, all of which are more or less under the con trol of the Conferences of the' Church. There aro many who advocate- the participation of the ,laity in church government on the ground of ,abstract right, but this mingling of temporal with spiritnal'affairs has its influence on many; , 'who. would: not trouble themselves much about church gov ernment if the cafes of 'the ministry were solely of a spiritual nature. The Methodist Episcopal Chiireh, too, has' become 'essentially Modified in its character; Ithd within the, last 'few "years has become••a' corporate body under the laws of both:Ohio:and New •York. The "Board ; :of Trustees of the Methodist ,Epiecopab,qhurch" wereauthorized by the 'General' don &ranee. of 1804;and htive l 'SitiCe haen chartered 'hy.the tegielature of Ohio, with power to receive ; hold, and ad minister on any : property by gift, „de vise, or otherwise confided to it, in behoof of and for tho'benefit of the M.
