DR.. EMBREE OPPOSED.
One of the Ministers Who Thinks Vo-
men Delegates Should Not BE
Admitted

In speaking Of the general work Of
the quadrenu1al conference or the
Methodist church now in session az
Cleveland o., Rev. A. S. Embree said
to a Journal reporter.
s'AGethodism is now wrestling with
modern ideas in its general delegative
conference at Cleveland, 0. If not the
oldest, and most conservative. this pro
testant religious body is certainly the
most influential now in existence in
the United States.
Cleveland on Friday the first Of May,
and continues the entire month it
seems to be a controversy of vast inn
portance as to whether women viii be
admitted as regular delegates
The usual object of the quadrennial
conference is to make laws. appoint
bishops, secretaries to the different
benevolent associations, and editors OF
the church papers, but the first sub
ject before the body is the AMIGA BILE
settlement Of this universal argument,
in regard to the admission of women.
Il am opposed to it and according to
the present constitution, women can
not be legally given seats as delegates.
In the voting on the amendment that
has been recently taken among the
different dioceses Of the country, the
amendment did not receive the three
fourths majority necessary to change
the constitution in this respect
Probably the majority Of male del
egates now at Cleveland, are in favor
of the admission of women. and the
four women delegates have been given
seats pending the decision as to Wheth-
er they viii retain them, or not I am
at a loss to say what the outcome viii
pc, as all depends on the decision Of
the committee of q, that has been ap-
pointed to decide the question.
AT the local conference held at Atch-
1son ON the first of March Rev a. s.
Ernbree was elected delegate to the
qHadrennlai meeting, but owing to the
serious illness of Mrs. Embree he viii
not attend at present.
