The Methodist General Conference Labot-
Ing on the Question of Their Adilis-
sion.
New YoRK, May 4-Bishop E. q. An
drews presided at Yesterdays session of
the Methodist conference. The order OF
the day was the discussion OF the adverse
report of the committee upon the eligibility
cf women as lay delegates to the confer
ence.
Rev. Dr. Pendleton, Of Kansas was the
first to gain the floor, and he moved that
the women whose seats were contested
should be given seats on the floor during
the deba'e. To this Rev. Dr. Nicely, OF
Philadelphia, objected. Rev. c. F. Crcigh-
ton, of Nebraska, spoke in favor of the
motion. After considerable discussion the
motion was lost,
When the vote was beng taken Mrs.
Mary c. Mind, of Minnesota, president Of
he Women's Foreign Missionary Society,
stood upto vote. Objection was made and
her vote was not counted.
Rev. DR.. Potts, editor of the Michigan
AdrOca'c, who is deaf, was given permission
to open the debate. He advocated the ad-
mission of the women as delegates. He
wanted to plead for right over might.
There wa no decision as to whether "lay
delegates" meant men only. More than
two-thirds of the members OF the Church
were women. Without women one-half OF
phe churches would cease to exist.
Women could not b. left out without harm
to the Church. The speaker was loudly
applaudcd, not only by the ladies and
others in the auditorium, but by the dele
gates as well.
Rev. William Brush, of Dakota, made a
long and earnest plea in favor of the ad-
mission of women, and Rev. Dr. Theodore
F. Flood, editor of the ChdutduQnda, fol
lowed on the same side. He argued that
as women were admitted to the learned
professions and to practice in the Supreme
Court of the United States, the conference
had a right to admit them.
Rev. J. II. Buckley, editor of the Chris
tan AdoOcate, who was one of the strongest
opponents of the admission of woman, was
the next speaker. He SAID that the ques-
ton did not turn upon the right of woman,
but upon principle. Episcopalians, Bap-
lists and Prcsbyterians did not admit
women into their conferences and there
was not denomination in the world that
would admit women. There was nothing
in the constitution OF the Church that gave
them the right to seats. The speaker said
lie stood to champion the holy cause OF the
women but also stood to champion the
right of women to representation in body
until member of their sex had an oppor-
tunlty to express an opinion on the sub
iect He claimed that every time woman
was put in legislative body a man was
put oIt to no advantage of that body.
A dozen members of the conference from
sll parts Of the country took opposite views
on the question, and further discussion
went over.
