Men mixing their brains with norr1Dlo pdans
And branding their souls with despair.
Ten cents for glass Of rye;
Fifteen for Bourbon sour.
While little babes cry because hunger Is nign
And fortunes them hour after hour

The Methodist churches still busy voting on the
question whether it is advisable to admit women as
the General Conference. On general principles, 10
might be assumed that the question would be decided
in the affirmative, because women are large ana
element in all Methodist churches, as
indeed they are in churches generally But as matter

on this question: large though unknown, proportion
of them being strongly opposed TO the measure. III
must also be borne in mind that the popular vote OF
the churches will not finally decide the question: as after
this it will have TO come before the various con-
ferences after which the General Conference VIII vote

giving much of their space to a discussion OF the
question: and some of the dsputants on both sides
