The Missouri Conference at Bethany De-
nOunces Prize-Fighting-Rev. C. e. Cum
ningham's Heresy-The Appointments
The Missouri conference of the NJ. E.
church was held at Bethany, Bishop
Cranston presiding. A resolution de-
nouncing prize-fghting was passed.
The names of Corbett, Fitzsimmons and
wife and John J. Ingalls, appeared in
the resolution. but the preachers had
no wish to advertise those persons in
the records of the conference. and the
names were stricken out quickly, and
then the resolution was adopted with
wild applause. The trial for heresy of
Rev. C. E. Cunningham was referred to
his presiding elder. 1t seems that the
heresy in the case is that the good
brother forgot himself in the recent
campaign and talked free silver instead
of preaching the Gospel Thirteen
new preachers were admitted to travel
ing connection. Six others were or
dained as deacons, and seven others
were made elders.
