that flowed from the hearts Of la sons.
We have buried II. We do not intend to
exhume its remains. We are utterly dc.

The question Of granting to women 4
license to preach has been decided in the
negative by the Northern Indiana Meth
Odist Episcopal Conference, upon the
ground that discipline and usage forbid
1t, This view was sustained by Bishop
Bowman, but it Is evident that his sympa-
thies and his sense Of duty are wide apart,
He would like to give the Methodist pull
pit the benefit Of the elOquence and per-
suasiyc powers Of female preachers, but
as the license to preach involves the right
Of ordination, which has been refused 70
women by the General Conference, the
gallant Bishop was forced to shut the
door in the face of the would.be eyangelS,
though not without expressing tho hope
that his decision would be appealed from,
and the matter thus brought before the
