BETEEAL DISPUTED POINTS SETTLED J The Methodist Episcopal divines and lay men from all over the country, who have ' been in conference here to decide how to evangelize the cities, formulated their plans yesterday after considerable debate. The morning session was occupied by the read ing of three minute reports of each city union by its delegation. The reports con sisted in giving the name of city and its copulation, the number of M. E. churches, missions and membership of same; the num ber ot churches and missions supported in whole or in part by the city union and their total membership; the number of conver sions and increase of membership during the past year; the number of Sunday schools and scholars; value of church property and other interesting facts. All of the reports were very interesting and encouraging. Rev. C "SV. Smith represented Pittsburg, and his report showed a healthful state of affairs here. There are 23 2L E. churches loops of COTSet lace, Soft, but in the Pittsbnre district, with a total mem- r ' ' bership of 7,100 members. There are 26 tOUgh, that WOH t ITlSt Or CUt uuuny m;uuuls nnu ?,x. buivuu auwv are no mission churches, and as the city is weU covered with churches there is no need No tones broken -with the Kabo corset.

OUR 11 KM DEPARTMENT of any mission1!. The Pittsburg Methodist Episcopal Church union was 1880. Thev have kept out when new churches were built, when it was necessary to go into debt to a small extent The onlf need of Pittsburg to assist weaker churches is about 530,000. The money for all purposes is raised by going down into their individual pockets for the cash. Work of Permanent Organization. Almost the entire afternoon session was devoted to the preparation of the constitu tion of the union and of re vising the lengthy memorial that is to be presented to Bishops and members of the General Conference of the M. E. Church, to meet in Omaha, Neb., May 1, 1892. The different articles of the constitution were thoroughly discussed. One bearing on who shall be delegates from the various societies to the annual conference of the union provoked a discussion as to the mean ing of the word "laymen" and whether women could be elected. Alexander Ashley, of Chicago, maintained the women should not be accorded this privilege until the General Assembly determines whether women can come under the meaning of "laymen." It was decided to allow the question to re main over until the highest authority has settled the point. The Question or Control. The next issue brought out was bv Mr. Ashley, who questioned as to who should control the organization, the laity or the ministers. He said: "I believe this to be an organization inspired by the laity and that we should control it" Itev. Dr. Peirson, of New York, met this with the remark that the ministry had not proposed to control the union, but to work in union with the laity in one great and good purpose and to one end. This ap peased Mr. Ashley's feeling and the work of revision proceeded. Next a discussion of an hour arose over a change in a section of the "memorial." In stating the object of the organization appeared the phrase: "To assist weak churches, to build them up and to build new churches and to work among the de graded and wretched." The thiee words, ''degraded and wretched," provoked the discussion. A number of clergymen thought the words would give offense to nuny poor people in whom the union would interest itself, and that many of these persons would admit that although they may be wretched, yet they are not degraded. A Difference of Opinion. An equal number of the delegates con tended that the words should stand. Rev. George Cummings, of Philadelphia, wasamong the former. In a warm speech he said: "We want to go down to all classes, down in the lowest walks of life and touch the basement of life. Yes. and we want to go to the marble and granite mansions of the rich. Go to the marble halL Among the poor we will be welcome, but they are sot all degraded. Look to the wealth of the city and see if there is not refined -nickness there. "We must reach the silver dome as well as the wretched. Change the words 'degraded and wretched to 'all who need if " Eev. Dr. M. D. C Crawford, of New York, defended the words, stating that vice in the poor and in the rich needed no dis tinction cor palliation of sentiment; a change of words would not change it Eev. G. E. Mains, of Brooklyn, said that the words "religiously destitute" should be inserted. T. C Clendening, of Omaha, said: "We are charged that the Methodists have for saken the poor, the wretched, the degraded; that we confine ourselves to palaces. Such is untrue; we have always been the friends to the poor and the wretched. Let the words stand." A Chance tor Sntlmenfs Sake. The discussion ended by the change and the insertion of Dr. Mains' suggestion, "re ligiously destitute." The name of the or ganization was also changed from "City Evangelistic Union" to "Union for City Evangelization." After several other unimportant revisions the constitution and memorial were ap proved and adopted as the basis to be pre sented to the General Conference at Omaha for sanction and approval. The Executive Committee was then instructed to prepare a constitution aud plan for the organization of local societies, and to report at the next annual meeting, the date lor which, how ever, has been left with the committee. The Committee on Nominations presented its report for the election of officers. The report wasadopted unanimously and the offi cers of the union for the year will be: President. D. H.
