BISHOPS CENSURE CHURCH METHODS Remarkable Report Read at the M. E. Conference atMinneapolis. MINNEAPOLIS, May 1. Charging

that the doctrines of the church are discredited by a gainsaying world, the

Episcopal address signed by eighteen American and six foreign biphops, read in the biennial conference cf the

Methodist Episcopal church here today, scored church methods now In use. The bishops report created a sensation. It was stated that the gain in church membership during the past year was less than two per cent.

Another allegation was against the

church press, It being charged It was used as a free forum by the promoter of disaffection. The report was road by Bishop Earl Cranston, of Washington, D. C, and contained recommendations as to future policies. A supplemental report will be read tomorrow. In part the document says: "In the past year the church has made a net gain of but 85,000 new members, which is less than two per cent. This was the outcome of a whole year activities and the or.'.lay of many million of dollars. It shames and humiliates. A fair calculation reveals the astounding faact that probably not less than 60,000 members disappeared from our rolls, by reckless use of the dropping process. Nev-er-the-less we still face the fact that our distinctive doctrines are not being emphasized as they once were, and are being discredited for the time being, by a gainsaying world drunk with

vain philosophy
