EPISCOPAL METHODISM. HE REUBRION OF THE CHURCHES. The Cape May Conference—The Basis of Seitiement— Addresses to the Bishops and Brethren —The Question of Church Prop trty—Harmony Inculeated—The Bw- ture of Methodism The boards 6f commissioners appointed by the Methodist Episcopal Church and the Methodist Episcopal Chureh Sonth to re move all obstacies to fraternity between the two churches bave been in session at Con- gress Hail, Cape May, during the last ten days. They concluded their labors last eve- ning and issued the following ADDRESS. To the po ot gl or the Members ©! the Methodist Episcopal Church, and of the Methodist Episcopai Church South . Dear Fathers and Brethren:—We, the com- missioners appointed by authority of the Generai ferences respectively of the above-named churches to remove all obsta- cles to formal fraternity and to adj all existing differences between them, « it proper, in advance of our report to the Gen- erai Conferences of our respective charcues, to communicate to you in general terme the result of the recent harmonious session of our jomt commissions. Pursuant to previous appointment we eon- vened at Cape May, N. J., oa the i6tu day of Avguet, , and were favored by the at- tevdance of all the members of both boants of commissioners. After a written commu- nication from the commissioners of the Methotist Episcopal Chureh Sonth was re- ceived And answered by the commis ioners of the Methodist Episcopal Cuarch toth boards met in joint session, the labors of which were continued during seven day: Wetave bad a full and free conference and interchange of views respecting the import- Ant matters that claimed our united con- sideration. If any in the churches entertain - ed the fear prev: to our meeting that we could not aitain complete harmony of senti- ment touching the momentous question to be determined, they will be rejoiced to learn that afier naving given due attention to ail questions involved in the pro: constrac- ton of a platform of complete fraternity be- tween the two great branches of —— Metbodism in the United States, we have ar- rived at a settlement of every matter atfact- ing, 88 we suppose, the principles ofa lasting and cordial adjustment. We have the satis- faction to deciare that our aspirations for harmony of views on vital poinis have been realized. By divine guidance, as we trust, we have been abie, after a frank interchange of views and prayerful endeavor, to harmon- ize all differences and to arrive at the desir- ed consummation of a unanimous agreement of complete fraternity. We believe that no = of honor on elther side has been invaded. We struck the keynote of brother. ly love till it sounded high and clear, and so have been enabied to reach the elements of perfect harmony. No divergence of senti- ment mars the complete unanimity of the joint commission touching the essential Principles of fraternizing, At the beginning of our consultations one great question seemed to overshadow ali others. It concerns the relations of the two ctrarches to each other and to Episcopal Me- thodism. To this im; it matter our most earnest thoughts: prayerful deliverations were first directed, and the result attained occasioned the ini of rejotciag and congratulations between the members of the Joint commission. We adopted, without a dessenting voice, the following deciaration and basis of fraternity as to the status of ihe Methodist Episcopal Church and of the Methodist Episcopal Church South and their co ordinate relation as legitimate branches of Episcopal Methodism: BASIS OF SETTLEMENT. Each of said Churches is a jegitimate branch of Episcopal Metnodism in the United States, haying @ common origin in the Methodist Episcopal Church, organized in 1784, and since the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church was consum- mated in 1815 by the voluatary exercise of the right of the Southern Annual Confer- ences, ministers and members to adhere to that communion, it has been an evangelical church reared on @ Scriptural foundation, and her ministers and members, with those of the Methodist Epliscopai Church, have constituted one Methodist family, taough in distinct ecclesiastical connection. CLAIMS TO CHURCH PROPERTY. It was next incumbent on us to consider questions concerning conflicting claims to church property, and some special cases that could not conveniently be referred to the operations of a general rule. There were two principal questions to be considered with re- gard to the church property in dispute be- tween local societies of the two churches: First. As tothe lega! ownership of sald prop- erty. Second. Aso whetber It will be con- sistent with strict eyaity or promote Caris- Usn harmony + cause of religion to dis- possess those societies Low using church property which was originally tntended for thelr use avd ocevpancy, and of which they © acquired possession, although they may have lost legal title toit by their trans- fer from the one church to the other. We bave considered the papers In all cases that have been brought to our notice, These arose in the following states: Virginia, West Vir sinia, Maryland, Tennessee, Louisiana, North Carolina and South Carolina. In re- spect of some of these cases we have given particular directions, but for all other cases une Peed commission unanimously adopted the following rules for the adjustment of ad- verse claims to church property: Rule 1. In cases not ‘adJadicated by the Joint Commiss: 5 property, the latter shall be jon. Rule 2.
