The Unification of American Methodism

By an almost unanimous vote the eight hundred and eighty-eight delegates to the same General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church adopted the report of the committee on unification, paving the way for union with the Methodist Episcopal Church South and the Methodist Protestant Church. The time of the next session was left in the hands of the bishops, though the regular session is only once in four years. This arrangement will make possible another session in two years, at the time of the General Conference of the Methodist Church South, when the acceptance of the plan for reunion is to take place. By holding the conference of the Northern church two years from now, the final union may be hastened two years.
