IT'S WORK ENDED. .

eral Conference at Cleveland.

eral Conference ut Cleveland.
Cleveland. o.. May 29.-The 9th general
conference of the Methodist Episcopal
church, which for four weeks has absorbed
the attention of the religious world. is a
thing of the past. With the fall Of the
gavel in the hand of Bishop Merrill at / 20
p. m. Thursday the conference and its acts
passed into history. On the great questions
which have absorbed the attention of
the church 1t has done practically nothing.
The question of a woman's eligibility to sit
In the general conference is exactly where
1t was before. The constitutional revision
has not proceeded a step beyond where It
was eight years ago. The conference
straodled most effectively on the matter
of lay representation. It adopted dis
ciplinary clause providing for equal lay
and clerical representation in the general
conference, knowing that 1t would not, In
all probability, receive the necessary three
fourths' vote in the annual conferences
1t refused to allow the laymen the priv
Hege of sitting In the annual conferences,
but gave them the right to sit separately In
the general conference.
Bishop Joyce presided over the first part
of the final session. The devotional exer-
cises were conducted by Rev. DR.. J. B.
Hinsley. of Minnesota. DR.. Mitchell, secre-
tary of the committee on boundaries, pre-
sented a report fixing the boundaries of
t23 conferences, and 20 missionary confer
ences at home and abroad, and including
q enabling acts. 1t was adopted without
debate. DR.. Hartsell, missionary bishop
to Africa. made a brief speech asking for
the good wishes and prayers Of the dele
gates for him in his new work. At half
past IL o'clock DR.. Buckley rose TO move
that according to custom, all further re-
ports Of committees be laid on the table,
and that the roll be called for the presenta-
ton of the usual vote of thanks. The clos
ing hymn, 'Laborers in the Vineyard" was
then sung. Bishop Bowman offered the
closing prayer, Bishop Foster pronounced
the benediction, and the delegates filed out.
