ing of the Conference. Rev w T.
Helmes OF the Railway Church was a

that he was not ready for his election to
deacon's orders under the discipline of
the Methodist Episcopal Church and the
Conference yesterday was in doubt what
to do.
Bishop Goodsell cut the Gordian knot
by ruling that a chaplain in the Navy was
doing missionary work and not pastoral
work on a charge, and hence Mr., Helmes
could be advanced under the missionary
rules, which are more lenient than the
ordinary rules affecting the pastoral
preachers. Mr.. Helmes was, therefore.
duly passed and ordained to the chap
laincy., The decision was received with
loud cheering.
There was a nice little breeze stirred
up this morning by one of the pastors,
who moved to shut off the anniversaries
and devote the time to lectures. 1t leaked
out that the temperance anniversary last
night che of the speakers spoke of
"knocking the stnfing out of him" mean
ing an opponent at a prior discussion.
This un-Methodistic metaphor canda
ICED some of the preachers, and one of
them. Rev. John L. Hayes, jumped up
and shouted:=
sMr. Bishop. by all means, let us have
lectures and therell be no more buffoon-
cry at anniversaries Cloud iaughter.9
The question was referred to the Board Of
Examiners. The remainder OF the morn
ing's session was consumed by official Wis
itors talking of the merits of their news
papers or institutions, and all OF them
asking for money.
