USE OF WINE.
London Oct. 2. Tlie American delegates to the Ecumenical Methodist Conference have decided to raise funds in the United States to put a stained-glass window in Wesley’s Chapel to commemorate thoir visit. Fifty or sixty of these delegates, who are staying in England another week, will participate in provincial gatherings at Manchester, Birmingham, Sheffield, Liverpool and Bristol. The colored bishops are especially much in request. The American ministers wore surprised at the use of wine and beer on the tables of the English Wesleyan ministers. They have made remarks,” said Rev. John Bond, Secretary of the Ecumenical Methodist Conference, “ though I do not mean to say they have been unkindly ones, on the matter. My answer is that this is a free country. America is not. We reserve the right to drink, alcoholic liquors in moderation, if we wish. The American dictum would be ruled out by Wesley, who drank wine to the end of his life.”
