titled to representation by delegates in this

gested that the names of those two confer

ing their status for the present. DIR. w. H
Ferris, of New York, moved a reference OF
the motion OF DR.. Reddy to the Committee on
Credentials on representative mission confer
ences. After an earnest discussion OF the
subject Rev. DR.. Durbin moved thai the whole
matter be laid on table till the Bishops made
their report as to what they have done in
organizing these mission conferences, and il
was adopted. The Bishops were requested to
make their report as early as possible. 1t was
ordered that the quadrennial address of the
Bishops be presented on Tuesday, at 10 O'Clock
in the morning.
