eth Century Movement Lively
Dobato Over tho Report on "Tho
Stato of tho Country" Resolu
tions Adopted with Reference to
Rev. Dr. Hard Other Matters Con
sidered. Tho Wyoming conference closed Its
sessions at Kingston yesterday. Nat
urally tho matter that excited the
CTcateat attention was the appoint
ments. The appointments printed In
yesterday's Trlbunu for the "WyomhiB
district were practically correct.
It was announced before tho close of
the morning session that the appoint
ments would not lie read until all the
business of tho conference was con
cluded. In fact they were not read
until B.15, after the bishop hud made
an address, when as usual, his mag
nolia presence and deep fervor moved
his audience with u power Riven to
few men. He described his early ap
pointments and disappointments and
endeavored to cause the brethren to
feel contented with their lot.
It was a groat shaking1 up that
Htttick the conference, and In fuct
many of the ministers were, as It Is
termed, "up In the air" until the last
moment of the cabinet session. Sever
al nre rather da7ed yet since lnndlng.
It la a pathetic thing to sit and wait
fur the announcement of fute In the
shape of the bishop nndt presiding
elders to decide one's future, niul many
of tho ministers did not know until tin
appointments were read out in open
conference. Many were not happy at
the changes nffecting their home ties
and their closest Interests, but no
complaints were heard, although the
bishop Invited any one to write totters
of protest to him today.

DP.. FAULKNKH PROTKSTS.
The last day's session of tlte Wyo
ming conference opened with devotion
al exercises conducted by Dr. O. L.
Severson. Dr. Hard presided. Dr. Sev
erson reported for the committee on
the state of the church. Hew F. Gen
dall created considerable excitement
by his report on "The Stato of the
Country." It contained an Indorsement
of the position of the United States to
ward the Philippines and also a num
ber of serio-comic reference to "Uncle
Samuel," "spanking the baby," and
taking the bull by the horns and
strangling him."
Dr. J. A. Faulkner Immediately
raised u protest against tho vote of
the conference being given in favor of
the attitude of the United States in
this matter. Ho grew very eloquent
and spoke with great earnestness. His
remarks were not received with favor,
ns It was evident the sympathy of the
clergymen was with MeKlnley and
Dewey.
Dr. Tuekley, of Itlnghamton, mado u
strong speech dcprecntlng the undig
nified language employed in the re
port. His remnrks were loudlv ap
plauded, und the report was refern J
to the committee for reconsideration.
Dr. Fuulkner's motion was lost.
Dr. J. H. Keeley, superintendent of
the Anti-Saloon League of Pennsyl
vania, made an address In the coursi
of which he spoke In favor of unltln?
with the Roman Catholics In this great
movement.
I.. C. Murdoch offered a resolution
to consider Fourth of July a tempo--nnco
holiday. A. J. Van Cleft was
appointed member of tho board of
the Anti-Saloon league. SH. ( Mc
Dermott and F. C. Doty were elected
delegates to tho national convention.
Rev. L. C. Murdock read the report i.f
the AVyomlng seminary, which was
adopted. L. L. Sprague, Abram Nes
but and J. J. Shoemaker were elected
trustees.
Dr. Raco read the resignation of E.
R. Olmstead from the board of trus
tees of Wesleyan university. Dr. W.
II. Pearce was elected to his place.
Dr. C. M. Oltlln was then called to the
chair. Dr. Hard made an appeal for
the work of church extension, und n
collection was taken. At this point
Dr. Olmstead rend the following reso
lution: Wh'-rea.,, Oml n His wl&dom has called
to his eternal rrwnrd L. J. Kyuett, D.
)., corresponding secretary of tho board
of church extension of tho Methodist
Kplscopal church, thereby creating i
vnenncy In the secretaryship of this so

ming conference. In our annual session at
Kingston, April 12-18, respectfully petition
our board of bishops to make our beloved
brother, M. S. Hard, a fulf secretary of
tho board, of which he has been for Blx
years assistant.
Believing In his abilities, knowing of
his wisdom, with confidence In his effi
ciency, loving him as a brother and mem
ber of our conference, wo earnestly yet
respectfully urgo his appointment as
stated.

Tho afternoon was largely devoted to
the hearing of tho report of commit
tees, among which was that read hjr i
Dr. Race, of tho "Twentieth Century
Movement." It was as follows:
Tho resources of tho lnflnlto are at our
disposal. We live In specious times. The
results of nil ages focua themselves In
our age. Ono year of tho present means
more, to the advancement of God's cause
In iho earth, than a decado meant one
hundred years ago. Human nnd divine
wonders are constantly unfoldng them
selves. H we will but uccopt tho ic
sponslbllltles of the hour, the Gospel of
tho Kingdom of God will rench every
kingdom of this earth In the not distant
future.
Therefore, wo hall with gludncss the
cnll of our bishops to the ministry und
membership of our church for two mill
ion souls for Christ and twonty million
dollars for service as u thank offering to
Almighty God, cro we begin the twentieth
century. Such another opportunity this
generation will never sec. Already rep
resentatives of our beloved Mothodlsm
aro preaching tho glorious gospel nmong
tho nations of tho earth, but beholding
tho gruclous harvest ready for tho reap
ing, our chlof pastors now ask us to con
secrato ourselves, our talents, our time
to the blessed Chrltt. and In submission
to Him; every member of tho church to
engaged In the holy service of bringing at
least one soul, to know tho Lord ere we
cross the. threshold of the next century.
Wo began this nineteenth century ns ono
of tho weakest of our Protestant denom
inations; we nre coming to tho opening
of tho twentieth century as tho lending
Protestant organization of the world.
We must now act a part worthy of our
history.
'ft! 13 GR12AT N13I3D OF Till! Hot P..
The first great duty of the hour lb tho
spiritual obligation laid upon us. To win
two millions of men to thu Christ In the
next two years as a denomination means
that tho churches of our conferenco must
double their membership. Inspired by
tho spiritual uplift that has como to us
during the duys that we have been as
sociated with our present presiding
bishop, and Imbued with his conception
of devotion to t lift cause that we so dear
ly love, as members of this conferenco
wo are to tako up the work that ma be
asslgi.ed to us ns laborers for God, and
with renewed dlllger.ee must bend our.
selves to tho bleswed woik of winning
souls to Jesus Christ.
Tho pre-eminent importance of this
twentieth century movement must bo
given to spiritual results. Here wo must
place our strongest emphnsK A mighty
turning to God is tho fundamental ne
cessity of our times. Fervor, zeal, und
holy enthusiasm must characterize our
efforts In this direction. Heaven forbid
that wo should rejoice In our strength or
In our numbers. Our greatest need Is a
baptism of divine power.
Then, too, we must keep before us the
fact that the houses of worship ought to
be presented to the twentieth century
freed from all Indebtedness; that hos
pltals are to bo equipped; that houses
for the aged are to be erected; that
deaconesses' houses are demanded; and
that our Institutions of learning are to
be endowed for the work of Christian
education. In this connection we rec
ommend the communication received from
the Philadelphia branch of the Women s
Foreign Missionary society to the per
manent commission. Let us contemplate
for a brief moment what this thank of
fering to Almighty God for his manifold
mercies will accomplish, If thus applied.
Skilled servlee for the sick; comfortable
living for wearied veterans; Innumerable
blessing disponsid by angels of mercy:
and u generation of talented servants of
God bequeathing the blessings of an
Increasingly hotter civilization to the
generations following. It costs as much,
brethren, to build a flrst-clnss modern
battleship as to endow a college. The
battleship perishes, but the college Is im
perishable. Tho twentieth century will
have but small need for tho battleships,
for we are coming to the lime when the
brutalities of war will no longer be
known, for the seminary, the college and
the university, thoroughly equipped, will
bless humanity with the blessings of
truth.
That Wyoming conference may or
ganize for this twentieth century move,
ment both spiritually and (lnancally,
your committee recommends that a per
manent organization to be known as the
Wyoming Conferenco Twentieth Century

our work Is a contrast.
So do not make a mis
take ; all our operators

experience, and not inero
