the course likely to be pursued. One
report has it that the advisory 5cerd

The other story is that the board viii
be very glad to have the declaration it

consideration by the council and viii
not bring the matter forward. but Will
act on the defensive if it be called to

of the ban placed upon Mr.. Mckinley

He read the report of the committee

committee Bishops Bowman and Eos

duties and recommended their retire
ment at the end Of the conference as
non-efective.
AS soon as the report was read Bishop
Foster advanced The entire audience
arose and received him with the great
est applause. In the midst Of a most
oppressive silence the low tones of
Bishop Fosters voice was heard He
said he simply had a request to make.
He knew the question was one Of great
delicacy and he begged TO be permitted
to retire. Cries of No, no. came from
ali parts of the hail and Bishop Foster
extended his arms. saying, Please,
please"
1t was a most pathetic scene Bishop
Foster spoke for a few moments and
the conference by a rising vote granted
him his request. Bishop Bowman said
he would make the same request as he
had just learned for the first time ia
his life that he was not effective.
A call was made for a few remarks
from him. but he declined TO say any
thing and the two white haired fathers
