Nelson's Decision. the Christian Advocate and Jour
nal, referring to the recent decision OF Judge Mel
son, allowing Tie Methodist Episcopal Church South
equal portion of the proceeds OF the Book Con
Germ OF New York, thus explains the extent TO which
is likely to affect the present relations OF the two
divisions into which the church is nnhapply divided:
Some OF brethren of the press have already re-
ported that this is final settlement of the case, while
others have gone far TO consider as harbnger
of reunion of he Two Churches, and as means OF
consolidating the Union, and pledge Tor us PefPe-
petuty. The DISPOSE ton we have TO give as wide
scope possible the joys and hopes of our fellow
men, embanasses little in The duty which
We feel called upon to perform Unpleasant as 1t Is
to however, must inform the good friends OF
Mehodism and of - the Union, - that their re olc-
ings rather premature. The end is not yet. Only

er party will be entitled to appeal to the Supreme
Court of the United States. Those who stand the
defeated party the suit decided, cannot be eX-
pected to waive any legal right until the other cases
disposed of, and they shall be Instructed by the
May. Nothing will be done in haste without due
consultation and advisement.
The decision will materially affect the relations
Of the parties. They brought together.

Conference of 1874 objected TO having slavehodlng
general superintendent and the Southern conferences
seeded for that When there shall appear to
be disposition the part of the NJ. E. Church to
waive their objections slavery in epscoPacy, or
The part OF the NJ. E. Church, South, to waive
their claim to have savehoIding bishops, then-and
not ill then-Wili there be for hope of

Ii the Christian Advocate, in the foregoing article,
Is reliable exponent of condition of reunion /
the probabilities OF such are hardly within !
the range of a remote possibility.
