rules, the Herald says:

Conference would not exercise any uncOnstitutiou-
al power if it should. hereafter, constitute non
slaveholding a condition of membership in our
church. If, in is judgemeRt, slaveholding shall
appear to he contrary to the Word of God, and
j hostile to the spirit, lis it not hostile to the letter
also? p of the General Rules" it can, as the au-
thorized expoundcr Of the laws of Christ, and con-
sistently with its own antecedents, enact q stat
utory provision requiring the expulsion from the
church of every stakeholder who refuses to emau-
cinate his slaves. Whoever denies this conclusion
is bound to show that the prior interlcrences of the
General Conference with the conditions of mem
bership were unconstitutional and are therefore
void. If this cannot be done, we insist that the
? right of the General Conference to expei slavehold-
ers by statutory provision is unassailable, and we
hone it will be exercised in a prudent but %etfcctual
manner"
