The herald., 1893-10-12

preciate the great work accomplished by
the executive committee and that we
extend our heartiest thanks.
Resolved, That the thanks OF the
Woman'a parliament be, and are hereby
extended TO the trustees and members OF
the First M. Il. church of Los Angeles
for the use of their church, and to the
Los Angeles HERALD. Times and Ex-
press for their generous report OF their
proceedings.
A vote OF thanks was also extended to
those who had prepared papers.
A number OF amusing discussions fol-
lowed before the resolutions were finally
adopted.
In regard TO the resolution which pro-
vided for the sessions being open, 1t was
suggested that the men should be adj
mitted also. The secretary then moved
to amend the original and add the
words, ito all persons."s The proposed
amendment was discussed for some time
and amended and reamended, but
Mrs. Gibaon's amendment was finally
adopted.
In the course OF the discussion a lady
asked whether or not the men could
become members by paying dues, She
was told no, because it would no longer
be woman's organization, Mrs. Ste-
phens also adding that there was no
necessity for the men paying dues any
how. for the organization had no use for
money other than its bare expenses.
A lsughable diversion occurred dur
ing this discussion of man. A Pomona
delegate arose and said she thought 1t
proper to put the men to uae and bring
them into the meeting and let them
help disseminate the glorious truths
which had been CLEANED in the sessions
OF the parliament.
'Oh, quit, yer crazy" yelled q small
boy at the side of the church to his
companion. While his remarks were
not pertinent to the discussion, the Po-
mona lady Immediately sat down, amid
subdued ripple Of laughter. A lady in
light gray dress, trimmed with green
velvet, here spoke from the gallery and
offered to amend Mrs. Gibson's amend
ment SO as to give the parliament power
to hold general executive session OF
the organization.
DIR. Reid then came to the rescue and
stated that the parliament had such
power and the amendment would be
unnecessary. 1t was Withdrawn and
the resolution adopted as presented
above.
The resolution on the w0men's con-
gress in San Francisco was then read.
Mrs. Galpin moved that it be referred
to the executive committee with power
to act. Everybody in the auditorium
seconded the motion, so it was passed
unanimously when put to vote,
All of the other resolutions were adopt
read.
