| Annual Sess sion of the ST. Louis Conference
Status of the Salvation Army Raised
and Referred to the General Confer.
| ence-The Appointments.
The annual meeting of the st. Louis
conference of the NJ. E. church north
was held at Springfield. The meeting
next year will be held at st. Louis.
The following resolution provoked
spirited debate:
| ReSotred, That hereafter we receive no candi-
! date for admission on trial who has not passed
| the required grade all his studies; ami that
| this resolution be Incorporated in the rules of
| the conference.
In this discussion Doctors Stewart,
! Curl, Hughey, Quayle, Linig and
| Hancher participated. The case of A.
| NJ. Chapman, a candidate for admission
| from the Salvation army, was taken up,
and Dr. 0. NJ. Stewart moved that the
rule be suspended and the brother
| adm tilted. This raised the oQ,estion
of the status of the Salvation army
as religious body and the validity of
| its authority in ecclesiastical affairs.
Bishop McCabe declined to rule on the
| question, preferring to have the matter
| go up to the general conference, where
a precedent will be established detin-
ing the relation of Methodism to the
Salvation army. Presiding Elder Stew
art was granted permission to with
draw the name of Mr.. Chapman and
use him as supply until the question
is decided by the general conference.
