Resolved, That we express our
hearty appreciation Of the work being
done by the Hamline university, and
advise the young people of all ouI
churches who intend securing a higher
education to seek it there.
That we favor the admission of wom-
en- to the general conference on an
equality with men; that we disapprove
of any method that proposes to admit
them in any other than constitutional
way, and that we therefore recommend
to the Minnesota conference, now ir
session, that it refuse to vote upon the
so-called constitutional amendment
submitted by the last general confer
ence relative to the admission of WON.
en- as lay delegates to the general con.
ference.
That we heartily commend the move.
ment for the organization Of the young

the work and doctrine of Methodism.

official boards the Importance of the
Epworth league training schools, an6
request their Incorporation in organic

as a medium for the dissemination
among our young people of a knowl-
edge. Of our church and its work and
mission.

league reading course, and urge the
young people to organize class fol-
it's study in each charge in our con.
ference.
That we indorse the college day fo1
the Epworth league proposed by the
general cabinet, and urge the pastors
to see that it ds properly celebrated.
That this lay conference favors such
