al my brethren hero will bear witness, err
nesily opposed Lay Delegation, aud for some
tune kept up that opposition. | went to the
General Conference at Buffalo on another husi-
ness and had au opportunity from the outside
To look At the inside workings Of the Conference
! Will not state tile reasons which led me to form
M opinion about the proceedings Of TINT body
hut came to this conc usion- there was 40
absolute necessity for GONE change heng made
there. In oden times We had 10 method of
getting our clocks Ia keep right time We hnd
one kind OF metal that changed with the wealth
err expanding md Shortening so that the pen
dulum never could br kept one length. | found
that thr General Conferred, Q did not work RIGHT
nm not going TO lind nuy fault with those
brethren, hut found TINT men were human in
every place where you put them. lf We want
to have our General Conference keep good time,
We viii have to add another element to prevent
irreguariiy, aud that element is Lay Delegation.
When uod converted me. / went to Airenythcu
young DR.. Bond, Of Baltimore. Every one who
knows the Doctor knows that he is very decided.
lie was opposed to Lay Delegation. called his
attention TO this matter, and he ut once embraced
the truth and confessed il. We went To Buffalo
aud gathered n lot Of our brethren together
local preac hers and others. We hnd "a happy
meeting relating our experience, mi there We
were all converted to Lny Delegation. Perhaps

/ AlWnVA wish In kppn within ,of,
ety. aud made resolution many years ago
never 10 speak extensively of our ministers [
love the ministry, and respect them too much
to say an unkind worlnbout them. Applause J

pitched into the ministry. They made me sour,
Tor felt that that was not the way to go 10
work."
