Indianapolis, Sept. 20.
AFew words from Mr.. Cumbaclz.

To tho Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In the Journal this morning is an inter-
view with my old friend the Rev. DR..
Sims. / have so much confidence in the
Journal and such high regard for the doc
tor that was very much perpiexed in
reading the interview. | am compelled TO
doubt the correctness of the report of the
Journal or lower my estimate of the doc
tor. l hesitate to do either. The report
makes the doctor say that the laymen
now have equal power in the General Con-
ference of the church" If one-thlrd Is
equal to two-thirds-if he can prove that
then he is correct. 1t does not prove 1t 10
assert that the laymen can veto any meas
ure that is brought forward. Because the
preachers have taken few laymen on the
train and made brakemen of them does not
in the light of sound reasoning, enable the
mind to consider that they are equal TO the
whole corporation. The doctor seems TO
think that as the few laymen can have no
produlsive force they ought to be content
with the power to stop the train when they
see that their brethren are about 10 run II
in the ditch. l certainly tnlnk tne inter
viewer must have misunderstood the DOC
tor. He is a larger man every way lhdn
this would indicate.
The doctor is made to say that the Cen
eral Conference is too large now; that ne
ia in favor of reducing the ministerial del
egates. All right; so the number Is m I
equal, the laymeI- will be content. lia az
they intend TO have, as 1t IS their IIsnf -
have. He says that the Gen era Sop T6is
is ahout the amount the laymen have to
raise every four years to pay tb the
get tWo-thirds and the laymen one-thru.
The further b a the Of edpGa
Iay renresentation, that it displays a de-
sire on the part Of the lay me c OIL sn9
Conference and have their expenses borne
by the church" From this stateme e,la,. We -
are led to infer that the poor preacher IS
led as lamb to the slaughter ana agalnss
his will at the command of the cnurcn, Anu e
he is made to do the sanity, selt-sacrlnc-
ing duty of going to the General Conner
ence, while the idle peace-seeking, aayin n1l
hunts for the job and goes as a jolly lunniK s
eter. 1t might be attended with great III
ficulty if an attempt were mace 70 SUI
stantiate that proposition. The doctor says
he did not attend the lay convention on Inc
18th. 1 presume he IS correct IN lills' oue
