nounced that the Bible which will be
used i'm the services. is the one which was
used by John Wesley in his study in Eng

scnted to the conference some years ago.
Bishop Ninie real from this book the
lO3d psalm. Bishop Vincent read the
hymn, after which prayer was offered by
Bishop Foster Bishop Foster prayed

William Burt of Rome, Italy, followed in
a reading of the Scriptures after which
Bishop Taylor of Afr ca read the hymn.
The Rev. DIR Upham of Drew Theological

The Woman Question.
When the devotional exercises were
over a little furry occurred in the conven-
tion by reason of the call on Secretary
Monroe to call the roll. 1t was thought
that this action would precipitate the
contest of the seats for women. When
the name of Lydia A. Timble was an
nounccd delegate was Immediately on
his feet and made motion that this
name be omitted until a committee de.
termine whether her election was legal.
For moment it looked as II
the fight had started. Bishop
Bowman, however, refused to entertain
the motion, as he declared the convention
was not organized. The tumultous ap.
plause which followed the ruling of the
chair indicated the strength of the
woman suffrage faction of the delegation.
This was the first skirmish and as the
other names of the women delegates were
called no exception was taken. The secre-
tary continued to call the roll The con-
ference decided To fill the vacancies from
the reserves, and TO adopt the rules of the
