Show Retreat For Methodists. They are not calling it a retreat, but I that is what the Methodists of Wor- cester, Mass., are having this week. For fear of being accused of copying after the Catholics, the announcement f says the meeting is held "for the deep- I ening of the spiritual life," but it is the first of the kind in Methodist history, f The institution of this form of meeting f is due to Rev. James Mudge,, a former ' missionary in India, but now stationed t in WTebster, Mass. It is intended for i ministers, and has many of the fea- tures of a retreat, periods of silence k and meditation, interspersed with short f talks on devotional subjects. Keep it I up, brethren, you are "on the road to I Rome." f |
