OF Churches and Conferences in the same

The constitutional convention Of New
York will consider startling PROPOSE
stton TO Gbrogate wills. 1t Ia proposed to
hereafter to allow no law to be
enacted. conferring upon anyone the
power to dispose of his or her
property after his or her natural life.
BY thiu amendment to the New York
constitution all existing laws are to be
made imperative and void. 1t has long
been claimed that there never yet was q
will drawn that could not be broken, 80
that thsre is always temptation on the
part Of the wicked or avaricious to
attemp. the work Of will breaking. In
opposition to wills it Is claimed that the
channels carefully marked out by the
law Of inheritance closely follows the
line OF natural affection and equity; that
in about ninety-nine per cent Of all cases
the law makes better testaments for peo-
pie than they can make for themselves.
