prayer, and tho meeting was called to
order by the chairman, General Olney
Arnold, Of Rhode Island. .nD.

Tho Convention recognized tho efficient
services rendered by Rev. T. G. Ludlow,
and declared that the change Of the name
Of Parish already In fellowship, so long
as the nature of iis constitution remained
unchanged, did not affect Its relations to
the Convention. II was resolved that the
action Of tho Convention, officially taken,
in disciplining either clergymen or go.
cieties, should be regarded as conclusive,
and respected accordingly By our entire
Church until it has been reviewed by this

are anxious, we submit 10 him the follow.
ing questions: -3s
lst. Did you in your speech at Moore.

say that you had succeeded In breaking
up the "rascality ring" at Piedmont or

was "raScalily riDg?'
