WEDN NESDAY, NUARY 20, 1879 -

DY Dr, fuitOQ IaSt week uRu L U Tela.luu W Vhe
question 10 hand; but Dr.. Futon saw ht to
brng into the discussion mailer as legn to
it as anything could be.
Dr.. Fulton, excitedly-Will be allowed to
reply to those remarks =? [ want to show that
nv remarks were proper, and ers| out CT the
position | took.
Several voices-No, sir.
Dr.. Fulton, readiur, Vas Interrupted by a
brother, who suggested that the Secretary look
over his shoulder. Another brother suggested
that he give bis exact words to the Secretary,
who should read them. Dr.. Fulton did not per.
ceive tho implied insult in the FIRST suggestion,
and responded to the second.
The Secretary read his words Gs follows:
This surrender to Rome could not be ex-
plaiued save 90 tie suppostlon that conscrVa
tism which prevented min, cccupylpg prom
inent pulpit at the nations capital through all
tho critical years of the war, from ever opsu-
log bis mouth to say one WGrd 10 favor OF
liberty, DOW euab!os him to read 90 essay
which ignores the teachings aud the truth OF
revelation, and describes the beasts OF prophecy
az pripcipIa, an ilhueoce, au anything op-
posed 10 right, the marks Of whioh beast might
be Ia ourselves or iu any ore.
| DR.. Hoyt-As remember, the remarks Of
DR.. Fulton last week were much moro Jagged
than they arc to day.
Dr. Thomas earnestly-1s there any record
10 shnw that those words were withdrawn?
A Voee-There is no such record. They
are not withdrawn.
DR.. ThOmas-Then l am more and more
amazed that man should come here and spend
Two hours Of OUT time to maintalo that those
| words were wise and proper and ought to be
spread on our records.
DR.. Gillette with serio oomc air)-l want
a recognition Of the beast 10 that record.
Laughter.
The minutes we're then approved. But that
was not the cud of the matter. What DOW to
DO With DR.. Fulton was the next question. Two
hours had been spent fighting oVerthe minutes,
10 whi,h DR.. FGton scored one point against
the Conference.-The got his offensive language
deserted on the permanent records OF the body.
Nov DR.. Hoyt asked for a committee to sug-
gcst such action as might be necessary tor the
body TO take in tho matter.
Brother Simons-Wss the truth OF those
words (Dr. Fulton's) deni:d las. week or to-
day?
Dr.. Gillette-I denied thcm then and stand
ready to prove them false.
Brother Walsh-A committee should bo ap-
poated 10 part by Df. Fulton and in part by
this Conference.
Brother Gessler--The Conference is oompe
teut TO act in this matter without the help OF
Dr.. Ful.ou, and | hope it will preserve mod.
cum Of sell respect. Uu.hing's Manual, which l
hold 10 Guy hand exhibiting it) says that whena
man vii! neither apologize nor withdraw otfso-
s!ve remarks be should be expelled but that
expulsion should not be resorted to oa mere
trihcs. DR.. Futon has done neither, end this is
not triA.ng question. ask you it you are
wiling to daily any further in this matter. We
shall look nesa enough when we see the pro-
ceediDg5 Of this day in the papers to morrow:
have the pleasantest personal relations with Or.
FutoI tu! d. not see any other way out OF
this but to mo2e as l noT do-and l exceeding.
ly regret to doii--ihat Dr.. Fulton be suspended
from membership 10 this body uotil subj time
as be shall comply with the resolution passed
here last Monday, January 20. And when be
is ready TO accord to the Conference lis place as
tody Of Christian pcntlemcn and ministers l
shall be snoog tho first to welcome him back.

here; for the qu:s.!oa Will arise whether those
