The decision of the Canadian Bank of Oommerce to erect a handsome edlftos here {or the bank's local requirements, as duly announced In these columns yes- |ierday, ls, lt Is confidently believed, the -mmencement ot a building era In (Nelsoa At the moment two Une residences, le for J.

Just as quickly as the city ls ln a position to take up tha matter, a new public school building, will replace the present worn out quar- ira; so that without more, building construction entailing a heavy expenditure, Is already contemplated. So far aa the business section of tho Ity Is concerned the restrictions Im- jposed for adequate Are protection, which, prohibit the erection of any but stone or Ick buildings within a certain area, nave prevented the replacing of many wooden buildings by mora modern structures. Owners have been content to accept {good rentals for poor buildings rather than Incur the necessarily heavy ex- jpendlture of putting up brick or stone , structures. The decision of a conserva- 1 live financial Institution like tbe Can- | adian Bank of Commerce to erect a stone, or brick building for its own use, Is an example more than likely to be followed by many others. '.'• It Is' said tbat the negotiations for the, 'bank's new site on Baker street, brought *) Ito a successful ending by Messrs. Mc- lOermld ft McHardy, the local real estate broke™ on Tuesday last, were pending for a considerable time, and It Is added. that ln malting enquiries for available tola In the city, the bank found that owners of Nelson business blacks held their realty at pretty stiff figures and were disinclined to sell at all as a rule. A great deal of money owed In thd (past for Nelson business and residential property, and secured by mortgagee, mostly to eastern 'Canadian concerns, |has been quickly paid off In the last few years, and owners are now ln a sound financial position to take up ths question. tot erecting up-to-date buildings where- !ever they are needed. The sending here of a residential agent by one of Winnipeg's largest real. estate dims as recounted the other day lis another Indication" pointing to a steady revival of Interest In real estate ctrcl. ?, Including, of course, Kootenay 'fruit lands. Mr. Stanley, who will shortly have to vacate his newsland to make way for tho new bank building told The Dally News yesterday that he had occupied his present site for 16 years, a long time for a, western clly built on Nelson's lines. At Ithe moment vacant stores and vacant. Tesldenws at. all of a modern type, are a rarity horo and all the present Indications point to a new building era In^ this city. It Is very generally admitted, by 'lhe best informed business men that this year to date has been the most steadily, all-round prosperous time Nelson has ever experienced and If a building boom ls now Inaugurated, the com- munlty Ib well prepared to make and | protlt by lhe expenditure.

Te Albert Moore Was Last Night Elected Secretary He is Colloiac of Rev. J. G. Shearer In Urd's Day AllUncc Work-B. C. Members ill Attend (Special to The Dolly News) Montreal, Que, Sept. 12.—The seventh quadrennial general conference of the Methodist church, Uie historic Methodist guile which a few years ago, when In financial difficulty, stirred the whole Methodist connection of the dominion to heroic efforts for its salvation. Rev. Dr, Albert Carman, general superintendent of the churoh, presided. After the opening devotional exercises, the roll was called and to it a very large number of delegates responded. The British Columbia delegation was present intact Japan ■and Newfoundland were both represented as well as all ithe annual conferences of -the dominion. Alter an interesting ballot, Rev, T. Albert Moore, associate -secretary with Rev. J. O. Shearer of the Lord's Day Alliance of Canada, was elected secretary of conference—-a position he will flit until the next general conference assembles four years hence and selects a successor. The afternoon was devoted to committee meetings lor organization purposes and to the quadrennial address of the general superintendent After the reading of the minutes, the Rev. S. Collier, fraternal delegate from the British Western conference, was introduced by Rev, Dr. Young. His reception by the conference was most enthusiastic. The conference then proceeded to tbe first order of business, the address by Rev. A. Carman, XL D. This address was listened to with a marked Interest and was one ot the most eloquent of the many he has given. The agenda Indicates a lengthy program of the business before the conference. A proposition is made to secure a new hymn book lor the use of the churches. There are some requests for Uie establishment of a .connections! organ tn the north. This latter p-ropoatton will receive considerable support The church union work Ih likely to oo- cupy considerable, time and It ls quite pout-tote that some aoton similar to that taken toy the Presbyterian church will be taken In this conference. A large number of memorials regarding changes in dls- clplne are proposed. One of the mo»t popular of these Ih a memorial relating to a revision of the genernl rules. It is possible o'clock p.m. ln preparing for the Monday Issue." "Do you consider the Sunday is badly observed in Nelson?" "Not at all. On the whole from what I hear it ls remarkably well observed. But even the most loyal of Its citizens would not claim that it is perfectly observed. I would only venture to call attention to one thing. I understand that little attention Is paid by the saloons to the provincial liquor law which prohibits selling on Sunday except perhaps to close the street door. Such open defiance of law tolerated by the city authorities and people cannot but tend to breed lawlessness of spirit ln general and in an otherwise well ordered city like Nelson it is to say- the least unbe- comltng. Ttoe Sunday -saloon [Is ;-nowhere, a mark of a city being up-to-date. And no western city would care to bo ranked as behind the times." "What will be the subject of your address Thursday night in the Methodist church?" , "I shall tell tlie story or the battle for the Sabbath at Ottawa, and In that story there Is much of interest the people of the west have not been told tn press despatches." A number of active local opponents of the bill which Mr. Shearer fathered and which he Is now championing, made Inquiries last night as to whether or not they would be allowed to ask the .lecturer questions this evening. They were unofficially informed that, as Mr. Shearer usually made it a rule to accord his audiences free discussion of any question with which he is dealing, their desire for information would probably be granted. Accordingly they stated their intention, of being on hand. RAILWAY COMMISSION Wll;!.

It wlll be Judged by the men It produces. If they prove themselves pedantic theorists, failure will result, but if they show themselves capable of mastering the science of war and Imparting the knowledge to the army at large, the Influence of the staff will become aa far reaching as it is tn Germany or Japan. Mr. Haldane says he "hopes that time will come when colonies will welcomi the assistance of the staff which thus will become a real bond of union between the scattered military forces of the empire, enabling, in case of necessity, a concentration to form a really homogeneous Imperial army.' The order constitutes a staff of two principal divisions, the flrst stn\ at army headquarters and the second staff ln command of districts, the flrst being concerned with all strategic and administrative affairs and consisting of three major generals, six colonels, 21 lieutenant colonels or majors, and 27 other officers.

AN HISTORIC CONFERENCE It muat have been Willi a good deal of roal pleaaure that Rev. J. O. Shearer,' general secretary ot tlie Lord'. Day Alliance ot Canada, wbo 1. at present vistt- .iig In Nelson, learned last night of the ulection ot his associate and assistant, Hev. Albert Moore, ss secretary ot (lie Methodist general conference which ■ onvenetl yesterday in St James church. Montreal. Tbe body of which Mr. Moore now 'becomes an Important officer is no .near, one—Indeed, it Is probably ono ■ft the most Influential in the dominion. Oeneral conferences of the Metbo- ■ list church always attract a great deal of attention from the secular aa well as .torn the religion, press, for, aa Is well mown, its le-jsl-iioh (affects a' very large element of the population of Canf ada. But the present session la certain -o be especially marked In future day. aa .in "historic one," for the Issues titta vblch the members of conference are to 1 ileal loom lane in th. public «y«, Th» question of church union has of IW* yeara been a burning one and has been accorded a foremost place ln all assemblages of Methodists, Presbyterians and Congregatlonallsts. Upon that question the, men now gathered a- Montreal arc destined to express an opinion, and the decision they arrive at will undoubtedly bear great weight in determining the future trend of the whole union movement. The Presbyterians, through their general assembly, have already approved of the' plan ln general terms. Another problem before the conference, one which, It is true, is alleged by some to be an outgrowth of the church; union recommendations formulated in Toronto some time ago by a Joint com-: mlttee, Is that of Increasing'Uie term of the pastorate. At present the law of tiie Methodist church allows ministers to .remain on their stations for four yeara, but at the expiration of that time they must move. Originating, as far as British Columbia is concerned, in Wesley churoh, Vancouver, a petition has gone forward for presentation to tbe conference asking that the time limit be removed entirely and that ministers be permitted to remain on circuits as. long as their parishioners and they themselves are satisfied with the existing arrangement. Against tills petition strong opposition has developed, for, In addition to the fact that lt is quite contrary to the very splritot the Methodist itliierancy it 1. pointed out that such a provision would enable the "big" men to get th. more desirable appointments and keep them Indefinitely, thus preventing young- off thoujtb squally ambitious brethren from climbing tte ladder of jnf«m«nt A mm* ml W WW Site 8x4%, open side 90c Bill Bk \W__W Size 3x4%, open end 90c ' k0 11 JTm.

K.w.u wo 4 The delegation tb conference from this province is divided, the supporters of the petition being headed by a layman, Mr. 11. W, Harris, of Vancouver, while the opposition ls lead hy another layman, Mr. T. R. Preston, of New Westminster. Numerically, lt ls difficult to say which element is the stronger, tor the laymen and ministers have never yet been asked to vote together upon the straight merits of the question. As we have already suggested, the strength of the membership represented by the conference as well as the magnitude of the Issues lo be dealt with make its proceedings worthy of careful attention. Thero was a time fn the history of Clfnadlan Methodism when unity lu the ranks of tbe connection did not reign aa generally as It does now and when the Influence of the church, or churches, was materially weakened by the profusion of,branches. But by two successive stages tbls stumbling block was removed. One union movement was brought to a successful termination In 1874 and a second tn 1883, the result being the creation of the Methodist church of Canada as it now exists. This union has been followed by twenty- three years or steady growth ln membership. The uniting churches in 1883 num: beret! on their rolls 169,803 members in good standing; the latest report by the general conference statistician shows a strength of 317,717, an Increase of about eighty-five per cent ln less than a quarter or a century. Not uniform, however, 'has been the rate or growth. The record by quadrennia is as follows: At the time of the union In 1888 the membership of the united churches wns 1*9.803 The Increase for thc three years, 1883- 1886, wns 27,606 The Increase for thc four years, 18*6- 1800, wan '. 38.SO The Increase for tho four years. 18*0* 1«H. was. 27,0°-' Tho Increase for the four years, '8*4- 1898, wan 19,684 The Increase for the four yenrs, -8**- 1902, was v.... 11,-58 The Increase for the four years, 190"- 1006, Witt.

BHILLAND. Secretary. . THE DAILT HBWB, NBLB0N, B. C„ THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 18, 1906 FOR A NEW PROVINCE AGITATION IN WESTERN ONTARIO IS CONTWt»D. NAME SUGOBST.BD BT ADVOCATES JS "ALGOMA.'' Apropos the agitation ln western Ontario 'or toe organization of a new Canadian province under the name of Al- Koma comprising all that part ol the old province now commonly known as New Ontario, together wttb Keewatin, a number of interesting letters are appearing In the eastern pies*. Ths ridicule wltb which ithe movement was first met does not seem to have killed It, nor, indeed, .to bave seriously affected Us activity. While lt is highly improbable tbat anything will -ever come of the propaganda now being carried on, it is not uninteresting to keep in touch with the development of the arguments used. Writing to ithe Toronto Star, a member of the educational campaign committee, signing himself "Ths province of Algoma," says: The province of Algoma would naturally include that portion of northern Ontario lying west and north of the French liver, comprising the districts of Nipisslng, Algoma, Manitoulln, Thunder Bay, and Rainy River, together containing about nii.Sl" square miles. The district of Keewatin, lying to the north and west, would properly be Included. It contains 54u,9»9 square miles, and, being mostly tributary to the Hudson's Bay, would naturally be Included. The proposed province would thus have an area of 032,815 square miles, being more than one-sixth ol° the entire ana of Canada. lt would be twelve times the area of ithe provinces of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince .Edward Island combined, and much larger than the combined araa of the two new provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan. It would he five times the area of Oreat Britain and Ireland. The combined area of Illinois, New York and Pennsylvania would only be one-quarter the slse of the province. These three states have a population of over 16,0110,0011. The census of 1901 shows northern Ontario to contain a population of over 100,000. Northern Ontario had a population In 1881 of 27,057, and in 1891, 55,5-0. During the laat 20 years its population has Increased almost 100 per cent eaoh decade, so that the present population may now be estimated at 158,940. When Manitoba and British Columbia were created into provinces their population was only 26,228 and 36,247 respectively. The census of 1901 shows that the present provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan only then had a population of 69,199 and 89,741 respectively. In 1901 the province of Prince Edward Island, British Columbia and Manitoba had a population ot 103,259, 178,657 and 265,211 respectively. In 1891 their population was only 109,078, 98,178, and 152,606 respectively, all less than the present population of Algoma, The province of Algoma would contain pine of the value of about $50,000,- 0000, pulp and other timber of th.« value of about $165,000,000, but these last mentioned timbers at least should be utilized to secure mnu and money to develop the resources of. Algoma. During the last five years there has been about f 100,- 000,000 worth of farm land in Alberta and Saskatchewan given away to homestead settlers for a nominal fee ot $10 per homestead. This is the magnet that ls drawing the thousands of pioneer settlers to these provinces. The province of Algoma would include the great clay belt of over 18,000,000 acres of farm lands through which the Orand Trunk Pacific railway will pass. The total acreage ot cleared land In tbe pro- vuv-e is less thau 14,000,000 acres. Frequently the representatives elected by the agricultural constituencies in old Ontario, ignorant of tbe needs aud pos- -abilities of the mining Industry, have enacted legislation that had most disastrous results in retarding exploration and frightening capital from northern Ontario. .Confidence can never 'be restored until the citizens of northern Ontario can legislate in regard to their own mining interests, and when that is secured $100,000,000 can be secured to develop and operate these very promising mineral resources. Tbe fisheries of lake Superior. Hudson bay and inland lakes would probably exceed lhat ot any otht.r province. No province oould hold out greater attractions ito the tourist and sportsman. It 1. possible tbat coal will he discovered near James bay, but In any event very valuable water powers are scattered all over northern Ontario. No province ln tbe whole dominion of Canada,would be possessed of such vast and varied resources. The province would be ln area and resources an empire and a strong bond between eastern and western Canada. To tlte province of old Ontario the unjust Roman system of collection of revenue out of the latent resources of Algoma regardless of development Is the mirage of suicidal shadow, and the tra-Hd and si^cassful development of Algoma's boundless timber, mineral, agricultural, and other latent resources is the true national policy . As the dominion ot Canada was interested In creating Alberta and Saskatchewan Into provinces so that their resources could be developed and tiieir people enjoy the advantages of local provincial legislation, so old Ontario should be In- tera-Md in haying Keewatin and north- era Ontario created into the province of Algoma so that Us inhabitants may en- Joy -miliar privileges and opportunities.

Moscow, Sept 12.—Vladimir Mazary, the leader of the Moscow section Pf the "Flying group," and. his principal lieutenant, have ben captured atter a running flght wtth agents of Ithe secret police in the course of which Mazary waa wounded. Mazary ia a mere youth and when he was caught he* begged the officers to kill him Immediately, recognizing that he would undoubtedly be executed. He was the directing spirit ln the bank robbery committed here last March by Bolenzoff, and he is accused of ithe murder of colonel Von Loshlnt- koff of the secret service during the revolution of last December. He is considered io 'be one of the most Important leaden ot the entire terrorist group. SL Peteresburg, Sept. 12.—Oeneral Moelter Sakomelsky, who subdued the mutiny at Sebastopol and later was genera! Rennenkamplt's chlet lieutenant in crushing the insurgents who controlled the trans-Siberian lines for months last winter has been appointed commander of the fifth, army corps, the headquarters of which are at Warsaw. Tbe general who stands high In the confidence of tbe emperor on account of tiie energetic showing made by him, has been selected aa the beat officer In the army to grapple with the task ot making lite In Warsaw sate. He will be named governor general of Warsaw if he succeeds. It 1s.-.matter of current gossip that governor general Skallon's mind has been effected by lite butcheries in .Warsaw and tne constant threats against his life Despatches report twelve condemnations to death on account of attacks on policemen and for highway robberies, eight in Waltau, two ln Warsaw and two In Kigali. Krasnoyarsk, Western Siberia, Sept 12.—Conditions here are becomln*. unbearable There is terrible corruption and depravity among tbose in authority which make the people an easy prey of the agitators. The peasantry are an ignorant lot easily amenable to good or bad Influences, but all the advice which they get now is in the direction of lawlessness and crime. Murders and robbery in the oountry and in the cities are dally, almost hourly occurring. The streets ln Krasnoyarsk are unsafe atter dark . Meetings are held dally in the woods surroundiiiK tbe city. Tbe principal agitators are Jews but they are too clever to be caught. The railroad employees are revolutionary to a man, but remembering the awful expressions ot general Meller-Zakomelsky who cleared up the Siberian strike last fall with a ruthleseness that Is almost incredible, they am afraid ot the Initiative. In Siberia tbe agrarian question la not pressing as there is no such land hunger as exists In Russia proper. The plague of Siberia Is the official highwaymen, who ln every station from lowest to highest is a corrupt and dishonest petty tyrant to bis subordinates ud the people generally. The pea-ants are not against tbe emperor, they make a distinction between tbe emperor and the government. The former they consider their savior, the latter their curse. The dissolution of ithe douma through the reports dinned into the peasantry by clergy and polloe made lt appear that the assembly refused to co-operate wtth the emperor, created little sorrow among the mujlks. Sledlce, Sept 12.—The town Is comparatively quiet today. People are beginning to move about on ihe streets and the shops are opening again although occasional shots tend to.'temporary renewals of the alarm. Some revolver shots fired from a garret this morning drew a volley from the troops below but no casualties resulted. About 300 wounded persons nave been cared for In the hospitals or attended by ambulance surgeons.

New York, Sept 12.—A Berlin cable to the Sun says: According to. the Tage- blatt the kaiser waa jut* saved from be- dng the victim of an. anarchist1 by the timely arrest at Brealau of three foreigners, who 'had been committed by the International 'terrorist organization ito assassin-ate his majesty during the military manoeuvres he ls now attending at Silesia. The prisoners are an Italian of the name of Mataccl or Maccini, an Austrian known as Fliegener or Fded- ling, and a Pole named Landesberg or Lenderberger. Mataccl was expelled from Italy two years ago and since then he has been associated with Russian terrorists in Geneva, He shared in the recent outrages in Poland. The three arrived at Breslau at different times. They were watched by detectives for several days, Including the four which tlie kaiser spent on the eve of the manoeuvres when the most elaborate precautious were taken to protect him. A dozen police entered a house which was their rendezvous on Foqeftier street today;. They had a hard fight to capture the desperadoes who savagely resisted , with knives and daggers, but after a long tussle in which the furniture of the room was wrecked, the police secured and handcuffed them. It ls stated that pap- era found in the houae established the fact that the three men were constantly communicating with the terrorists' group, for whom they were acting as agents. The papers further indicate that their Intention was to throw a bomb at the -emperor as he was riding in an automobile between certain points In the manoeuvres.

A greater tyranny haa recently been practised -upon u cltlsen of Nelson by the powens at Ottawa but the news is not myopic and must look afar for subjects that require editorial dissection, cremation and fumigation.— Greenwood Ledge. Wideawake Kaslo-Koslo fruit growers have adopted a good scheme for advertising.

Farmers and PoUtlcs-The proceedings of the Farmers' association of Ontario display no evidence of the cloven foot of partlHonsfadp. The farmers are keen, perhaps somewhat ccnsorlouB.observ ers of politics, and they swat the Dominion and Ontario governments and tho two parties with cheerful Impartiality. Tbls is a strong position. All governments do wrong, and need do be swatted. We must always be on our guard aguinst what Walt Whitman calls the neverendlng audacity of elected persons. These elected persons are nol criminals, as they sometimes appear to pessimistic minds, but they are very human and therefore liable, unless watched and checked, to do evil, and that continually; They are liable to develop a feeling which Is sometimes pleasantly *..»*- scribed a* esprit de corps, but whioh muy degenerate iiulo a notion thut thi* public sen-ant ls> greater than. Ida maatur. They are Ibxlfte to lose touch with the common people. They are liable to fall Into ruts, und when jurred out of these ruts to talk peevishly of demagogues. The farmers favor a low tariff, economy iln publio expenditures, public ownership of telegraphs and telephones, strict public regulation of railway and express companies, taxation of railway.*- on the same buals us farms and other private property, and tho enforcement of a passenger rate of two cents a mile ou railways. They ure opposed to subsidizing railways and other private corporations with land or monoy; they are .emphatically opposed ito tho increuse lu expenditures for mlUtary purposes, oa being both unnecessary and demoralizing, us diverting our national' resources Into un- jprofUtuible channels and us tending to lower those Ideals which should Inspire the rising generation.—Toronto Star. Churchill's Boyish Letter—Now that Canada has received from the hands of Mr. Hamar Greenwood the uffectlonate menage sent by Mr. WinBton Churchill, the people of thlt*. the brightest gem In the Imperial crown, wlll undoubtedly feel a sense of elation. The Idea of thus greeting the dominion Is a notable achievement In tbe history of the colonial ofllce; lt at once stamps the mind which conceived lt us being altogether out of the ordinary, and It sheds distinction on the herald selected to convey the letter. The country from the Atlantic to the Pacific was waiting for something from the motherland In the nature of an assurance that she realises tihat we still exist, something to fill the place of the companionable interest which was ceasolcsBly manifested ln the colonies by Mr. Chamberlain before his official labors were suspended, and mllp In this country ut Its boyishness—A boyishness which has not the element which ta most to be desired and admired In a'boy's communication—truth and frankness, —Vancouver Province. ilMi-ft Unltn-Mtt Curt* Diit«nptr For a professional nurse, call on Miss Llnd, corner of Kootenay and Victoria fits.

N6W POLITICAL RUMORS .TORONTO \VORM> PRED1CT*S .MILITIA CHANGES ,. A.LBO SAYS FOBTBR SNUBBED CAPB BRETON FOLK (Front'' the Toronto World) /'Many rumors of Impending changes Among the officer* of the headquarter*** stuff at Ottawa nnd also lh those of some or tho military districts nre afloat, while no confirmation nf their truth can he ob- tnJned either from headquarters or from 'Usually well Informed quarter* , , It ls said that brigadier gtneral lord Aylmer and colonel B. H. VUlal, the Hitter of whom Is now adjutant general, are to be retired, and .that colonel Buchan Is to be removed from Montreal tan -western command. Sir Frederlok Borden was recently asked If three storlen were true, or were they merely "baseless, Idle rumors." He gave the decidedly cvaMve reply thqt such matters were "wholly In the hands of the militia council." That, chnuge-s are imminent are pretty generally conceded, but how far they are going/ho ono, outside the militia council knows. II. Ih thought by many that the position nf'general officer commanding may be re* Htorv.1. though all future G.O.C.'s will be of home growth and not Imported. Color Is lent to this supposition by a recent speech made by lord Aylmer In which he, though occupying a' high official position himself, pronounced the abolition of the office, of G.O.C, to be,a mistake, and -more than -that, that the post should be restored. The demonstration at Chambly, composed of mod residents of Montreal, swelled to l&OD from local points, under the auspices of the Lemleux and Mercler clubs, settled a good many matters which have been dts- -cussed of late. Hon. ,h. P. Brodeur Is In the government to stay and.premier Gouin will remain In Quebec.. Hon. Bodolphi- Lemleux announced a surplus In the post- office department of $1,030,000, but gave the credit to sir William Mulock. The postmaster general said: "I cannot say If there will be a readjustment of subsidies, but I cun say that the provincial premier will be called to Ottawa to discuss the question, and Justice will be done.•• ! Hon. Mr. Lemleux proclaimed himself a moderate liberal, and he said. he hoped that-there were no French Canadian** who did not havo the highest admiration for the enterprising and powerful minority in Quebec He justified the Sunday bill ah amended. The conservative leaders of Cape Breton are dumbfounded and not a little put out nt Hon. George ,-E Foster. He had been extensively advertised as the star attraction ut the big conservative Labor day picnic at Sydney Mines. -80 anxious were the local leaders to have him there thut they kept in close touch with him by correspondence, and as late as Friday they received a letter saying "1 will oome tomorrow. Please have someone to meet me at the station;I will take no chances, but will be on the first train." stext day quite a committee went down the line to meet ' him. He did not appear, but the committee, on their return, gave out that he would come on a later train, And they continued to hope until tho Maritime express pulled in some hours later, about 1 o'clock Sunday morning, R. L. Borden and C, E, Tanner, the provincial leader, got off, but there was no trace of Mr. Foster. There was a hurried consultation and. it was'finally decided to keep his non-arrival a secret, and it was gven out that he had stopped off at Sydney, S.I., and the Sydney people were told that he had gone on to Sydney Mnes.

METHODIST CONFERENCE (Continued from First'Page) .The general conference meets every foifr years and is the only body in Canadian Methodism that has legislative functions, it makes all tbe laws of the church—the lower bodies carry1 them out. Ttie general conference also appoints the chief executive officers of the church. Methodism differs irom other Protestant sects in that it is- con- nexlonal and any law promulgated at the general conference Is binding on the church at large. ; Several questions of Importance, will be discussed and tt Is said that tne1 immigration problem will be one of the chief of .these. A big campaign Is being prepared and. the immigration problem from the standpoint of Methodism will he thoroughly ventilated. The* rules of Methodism, or at least one of them, that contained- in the "•footnote," have been a bone of contention for a number of years, but so far attempts at altering them have besn ineffective. Many ministers and, laymen think that any change from'the'present wording would subject the church to criticism arid give cynics ia chance to sneer. The footnote, explanatory of the rules, which distinctly prohibits dancing, card playing, and theater-going, is the chief stumbling block. Not the least interesting feature of-the conference will be the election of cou- nexional officers. Rev. Dr. Carman, the veteran superintendent, Is' not affected. His term is eight years add he was re-elected four years ago at Winnipeg. AU the others enjoy hut four-year ■terms. Dr. Briggs will bo elected book -steward again and probably Rev. Dr, Sutherland wlll get the missionary secretaryship, although he has passed the half century mark In the ministry and is about due for a rest. Rev. Dr. Young, of St, James' church, Ottawa, Is frequently mentioned as one of the best Informed men in tlie church on missions. The position' of associate secretory wlll go to a new man. The present occupant, Rev. W. G. Henderson, re-enters the active -pastorate as minister for dominion church, Ottawa, on the expiration of Mr. Slfton's term. There Is a strong probability of a change in the secretaryship of the superannuation fund owing to Rev. Dr. Griffin's advanced ag-J. In this couneotlou the names of Rev. J. Tallman Pitcher, of Ottawa, and Rev. Kattlewell, of St. Thomas, an; mentioned. It Is likely Rev. Dr. Foils wtll retain his office as seeretary of education. The office of secretary of temperance and moral reform'will be retained by Rev. Dr. Chown, probably if the offlce has justified its existence, which many doubt. Unusual interest centers in the choice of a new editor for the Christian Guardian. The present nominal editor, Rev. Dr. Bond, is physically incapacitated for continuing in office. A number of prominent church leaders have declared In favor of the election of Rev. Dr. Crews, now head of the Sunday school and lEpworth League department and editor of the Bpworth Era, to fill the vacancy, but there are others who do not believe Dr. Crews has as yet matured sufficiently for the position. It is confidently expected that the present conferenc ewlll be one of the most noteworthy In the history of the church and (that it wlll call forth debates of unusual vigor and eloquence, for large issues are to be handled. It is now 23 .vein's since the great debates over "unlpn" provoked an exhibition of the strength of the giants In the now milted church, and now again the same question of f'ugloA" is to be defeated, only this time upon an even greaterjicale. The former union was between sections of the same church; the proposals now to be discussed Include the union with Method- Ism or Presbyterinnlsm and Congregationalism. The debatrs aro likely to be* •(keen but tempered throughout with a -strong sympathy with the Union Idea, In a recent editorial in the church organ, the Christian Guardian, reference was mode tn this Issue, snd the accompanying pant graph !-*> probably a gnodv Indication of the general attitude of- the Methodist people: ''Without doubt there Is no single Issue before tm at this time of more far reach- m,' importance thun the matter of union between the. Congregational, Presbyterian and Methodist churches, The greatness of the Issues Involved, looked at from many points, of view; tho uniqueness of the proposition it*) mill* bodicp therejtofore -regarded 418 widely differing *\n doctfine and polity and outlook; the doubts that will erlse as to the probable outcome of the union 'along this or that or other line; the apparent- difficulties and dangers in the way—all 'these considerations dnd some others that it might not be easy to formulate, are*-tncllne*j to make ns pause. In fact, so formidable does the tusk of union appear at times that many would counsel a policy of delay, nnd would like to see thu whole matter laid aside for a time. But tbat cannot, ought not to be. While It is well to be In no unseemly haste we must face the question honestly, courageously, In a'-sprit of utter loyalty to our Master and of willingness to make any sacrifice of prejudice or .--entment or self interest that he might ask of us. To our mind a conviction of duty In this matter should count for more than any ability we might havo to see how the proposed plan of union either can or cannot be worked out successfully. If union ls in the grent plan of Qod, then the method of the human working out of the plan will reveal itself under His guidance. The conviction that It Is, If we can'Judge correctly, Is slowly but surely laying its hold upon the mind of a majority in each ot the three churches, If that be the case, the way out of any apparent difficulty will be made clear as time goes on. What ls needed ls singleness of purpose, vision unclouded by any thought of narrow or selfish Interest, a trust In the sincerity and integrity of the brethren of the other denominations, and fuith In the divine guidance. Either indifference or too narrow a view of what the kingdom of Christ is may disastrously check a movement thmt is divinely Intended to bring that kingdom nigh after A fashion, and by a rate of progress of, which we havo not bee.n dreaming."
