ADDRESS ON METHODiSM.
General Conference of the Metho-
diat Episcopal Church.
The following nddress‘was delivered
by President Rosevelt. Saturday. to
this General Conference oi the Metho- I
dist Episcopal Church:
it is a pleasure to be with you today
and to hid you welcome on behalf of
the Nation, here in the capital of the
Nation. lniiuutuut “truck the Melt-o-
dist Church is in many Innis. there is
none in which it has playtd so great
and peculiar a part‘ as here in the:
United States. Its history is iudlsso-
lubiy interwoven with the history 0!
out country for the six score years
since the constitutional- convention
made us really a nation. Mcthodism.
in America entered on its period of;
rapid growth just about the time oii
Washington‘s first presidency. its es-i
sentiul democracy. its fiery and "‘81-
less energy of spirit, and the wide play
that it gave to individual initiative. all
tended to make it peculiarly congenial
to a. hardy and virile folk, democratic
to the core. prlzing' individual inde-
pendence above all earthly posses-
sions. and engaged in the rough,and
stern work of conquering a continent.
Methodism spread even among the old
communities and the. long-settled dis-
tricts of the»Atlantic tidcwaier; but
its phenomenal growth was from those
