SPEAKING, we suppose, of Methodism in Missouri, the Central Christian Advocate says: "Seriously, Methodism, in many quarters, is becoming a dead letter. The Discipline is unread, and almost unkown; or, if known, is practically ignored. The stated means of grace are neglected, almost abandoned; the class-meetings a figment, and the leader a myth." If this be so, we should like to know what kind of Methodism they have in the south-west. No wonder slave-holders there find a cordial welcome to the bosom of the Church. And to all this may be added the undeniable fact (of which many of our readers may not have been aware) that tens of thousands now in full membership in our western societies, do not profess ever to have been converted! They joined as "seeking," were admitted in full membership as such, and are such still. And this practice is fully justified by many western preachers.
