Methodist Summer School of Theology

At the last session of the California Methodist Episcopal Conference, the establishment of a "Summer School of Theology" was recommended, and a committee was appointed to carry out the design. This committee has received the co-operation of the University of the Pacific, and the school will be held from May 23 to June 2. In their prospectus the committee say that "the numerous theological vagaries afloat, and the misleading tendency of some of the literature on the subject, emanating from respectable sources, render this a favorable opportunity to restate and emphasize the great doctrines of our common Christianity, as held by the Methodist Episcopal Church." We have seen of late so many vague and contradictory theories put forth by prominent members of the Methodist Church, that we shall be glad to have an authoritative declaration of just what that church does believe. We are anxious to see how far they will indorse the position of Wesley and Fletcher on the law of God.
