The attendance yesterday morning at
| the Central Park II. E. Church was the
! largest seen in that structure for long
time. Rev. William Copp opened the
| meeting with PRAYER at $50, and at Q
| o'clock the routine business of the day
began. The bishop made several rulings
/ on church trials. The rulings were that
: the presiding elders on receiving charges
| may rule out such as are not actiOnabie
/ before he cites the accused to
! trial or calls committee. The
! committee before whom the
! charges are tried must render verdict
| upon each charge, but must not bring
| in a verdict against the accused for
different OffenSe than that preferred in
the original charge. These decisions
were appealed TO the general conference
for the purpose of settling definitely
these church trial questions which have
I continually arisen.
The relations of some of the confer
| ence ministers were changed. Super
numerary relations were given to W. II.
( TOule. F o. Holman and W. Y. Jordan.

the state of The Methodist church was
made by Rev. I. o. Holman, Of St.
Paul, in which among other things he
recommended that children be admit
ted to the church early in life. and
closed with an appeal to all pastors to
work earnestly for that end. The COM
mittee on the condition of the Sabbath
stirred up
4 WARM DISCUSSION
regarding the manner of conduct of the
Red Rock camp ground. The report of
the committee was severe in the matter
Ut -DGObdtfl tiOl-tBcCl ulJCs ltiD VI
ganizatiOD of the Sabbath union was in
dOrsed, and 1t recommended that the
Methodist ministers cooperate with it
in its work. Recommendations were
read urging the conference to re-
quest the managers of the camp
meeting association to avoid giving
occasion for the violation of the
Sabbath by the running Of Sunday
trains, and that they be requested to
close the gates of the ground Sunday.
One OF the first to speak on the resOlu-
tiOnS was DR.. Levi Gilbert, OF WinOna.
He spoke OF other resolutions of this
body on the same question, and eX-
pressed belief that the camp meeting
ASSOCIATION had evaded the notice
Of the edict of the conference.
He wanted this conference to take some
action that would make it compulsory
that ID gates be closed on Sunday in
years 10 come. DR.. W. W. Satterlee.
who IS as much interested in Red Rock
as almost anyone in the state.
said that last year the committee
had protested against the running
OF extra Sunday trains, and that the
companies had acceded to their wishes
in the matter. The Red Rock asSOcia-
ton had but acted in harmony with like
associations throughout the state. j
general discussion followed. Rev. Nc
Clary represented the Minneapolis pas
tors in M eloquent appeal for the strict
observance of the Sabbath. He found
a LANESTABLE LACK
of proper observance OF the day in the
Twin Cities, and believed that Red
Rock was largely responsible for this.
Or. T. o. Holman wished the confer
encc should take action TO show the
MethOdIsts of the state that it was
not in favor OF. open Sunday
camp-meetings. Rev. Il. L. Allen
had heard that cigars and lemonade
were sold on the grounds on Sunday.
Rev. Forbes thought consistency was
Jewel. and evidently couldn't find much
of the commodity in the present argu-
ment. he didn't think it any worse to
horse on the same day.
If one was condemned, the
other should be. Ali those
presiding elders who now rode in street
cars on Sunday, should take shanks'
mire hereafter. If going to Red Rock
were condemned, the act of cOndemna-
ton would be inconsistent. DR.. Satter-
| lee believed it was direct attack on
Red Rock in particular, and another
member of the conference wished that
the action, if t2Een. should extend to
Waseca, Mahtomedi and other places.
a resolution was at last passed in favor
of closing all Sunday gates and stop
| ping all Sunday trains. The morning
| session then adjourned.
AT THE REGULAR SESSION
memorial services were held until 8
o'clock, the principal business of the
| session being the reports of the WOm-
ans Foreign Missionary society and the
Woman's Home Missionary society.
| The former organization first got the
floor. with Mrs. Emily Huntington Mil
! Ter presiding. Mrs. Mary G. Mind, of
| Minneapolis, addressed the meeting,
showing the noble work being done in
| all foreign countries by the society.
| Rev. David Morgan, of the King
| Street NJ. L. church, recount
! ed a tale OF the misery he
had seen in foreign travel, and
! that he had seen the fruits of the labor
! of the missionary society in each coun-
! try visited. Next came the report of
| the WOman's Home Mission society, in
| which an able address was made by
Mrs. X. K. Evans, presiding, who
| showed the work of the missionaries at
| home in a clear and forcible manner.
| Rev. Thomas McLaren supported the
home missionary society in an able adj
dress, in which he said that in his
! opinion the home missionary suffered as
great hardships as his c0-wOrker abroad
and should have the most hearty sup
port that could be accorded. Mrs.
Evelyn Church sang very sweetly the
solo Rock of Ages" after which Miss
Mae Murphy sang Zone Sweetly Solemn
