In his address Bishop Walden sat
down pretty heavily on those churches
that wanted ministers who are not un.
favorable 10 card playing and dancing,
both of which, he said, should be dis.
c~ountenanced by every Methodist min
lister.
The closing days session of the Con-
ference on Tuesday opened with a dis
cussion upon the question "WhO are
admitted OH trial?" The committee
reported Daniel Z. Lyon, +. L. Jen-
nett, J.. L. Gravatt, James Winder,
Alphonse Dare, William IL. Gooderham
M. B. Adams, George F. Harris, John
Gourley. J. D.. Bills, James b. Nixon.
The committees report showed that
these candidates had attained a com.
mon school education. This point caus-
ed a spirited debate in which the sys-
tenn Of admitting young men who had
not attained a high college education
was deprecated. OF the names present.
ed but one, George +. Harris, was ad.
mitted. The list was then recommitted
to the Committee OF Examinations,
with instructions that the number TO
be admitted be limited to three addi-
tional candidates.
The committee to investigate the
charges against Rev. George S. Sykes,
of Long Branch, reported having found
the charges sustained and that MI.
Sykes was guilty. 1t was recommend.
ed that he be suspended from the min
istry for II year. The report was
adopted.
ID. II. Shock, counsel for Me-. Sykes,
said it was his privilege to appeal from
this decision, but he refrained from
this action because by so doing he
would give the absent minister a chance
to appeal at any time he returned.
