METHODISTS MAY
UNITE CHURCHES
Union of Branches Would Give
Nearly 6,000,000 Members.
SLAVERY CAUSED THE SPLIT
Mathodi.t Episcopal Church, Metho- !
dist Episcopal Church South and
Methodist Protestant Church Now
Have Total of 27,426 Ministers and
47,615 Churches.
The prospect of Methodist union, pos
sibly us early us 11)18 nnd In any ease
not later than 11)20, has aroused wide
spread Interest among the members of
Protestant churches as to the size and
rank of the Methodist church when re
united.
The Methodist general conference,
which Just concluded Its session in
Saratoga Springs, N. Y., unanimously
Indorsed the proposed union of Ameri
can Methodism. It' the general con
ference of the Methodist Kplscopa.
Church South in 1018 also Indorses the
plan the union can probably be put
into effect to some extent at once.
The union proposed is of these two
denominations and one other, ihe
Mtehodist Protestant church. The nu
merical results will be imposing. The |
new Methodist church, for that will !
probably he the name, will have ul
most exactly one-third of the 17.742,
501) communicants of the thirty church
bodies which are now members of the
Federal Council of the Churches of
Christ la America. It will have more
than a tuiul of their 139,091 churches
and more than one-fourth of their 103,
113 ministers. The next largest body
will be tbe southern Baptist conven
tion. and ufter that will come the ne
gro P.aptlst, with the Presbyterians fol
lowing.
Some Statistics.
Here are tbe figures for 1915, the
most recent obtainable, as given in the
Churches of the Federal Council, edit
ed by Charles S. MacFarland and is
sued only a few weeks ago by the
Fleming H. IJevell company:

approaches in size the Methodist Epis
copal church the numerical greatness
of the united Methodist church will be
Caused by Slavery Issue.
Slavery, which also divided the Bap
tist and Presbyterian churches, was
the cause of the division of the Metho
dist Episcopal church. Among Metho
dists the schism took place in 1844.
arising from the case of Bishop .lames
Osgood Andrew of Georgia, whose
wife was a slaveholder. The Metho
dist Protestant church was the out
growth of a still earlier dispute over
the mutual rights of the ministry and
laity. It was formed about 1S3D and
was itself split in 1858 by the slavery
question. In 18(10 the northern half of
the Methodist Protestant church fused
with the Wesleyan Methodist church,
and in 1877 both parts of the Metho
dist Protestant church were again
brought together.
, Tlie coming union of Methodists will
create a denomination as pre-eminent
in missionary work as in membership.
The three churches when fused will
have about 1,700 foreign missionaries
as against 1,300 missionaries of the
Presbyterian Church In the United
States of America and 325 foreign
missionaries of the Presbyterian
Church In the United States South.
The reunited Methodists will have
about 0,200 home missionaries. North
ern and southern Presbyterians togetb
er have not many more tliau 3,(MX).
T. R. CALLS IT RO-ZE-VELDT.
Proper Pronunciation of Name That Is
Frequently Mispronounced.
Chauncey M. Depew, who has known
T. It. from babyhood, says “Rosa
veldt." with the accent on the first half
of Rosa.
The dictionaries say “Ro-ze-velt,"
with the accent on “Ro.” It is a ques
tion why nine persons out of ten per
sist in pronouncing the last half of the
Colonel’s name as if it were spelled
Roosefelt.
That “felt” is abominably wrong
The ex-president himself says Ro-ze
veldt, all spread out nice and soft like,
with none of your Roosey or Rosy
“felts" about it.
There t re three distinct syllables in
his uame instead of two.
