letter requesting that their names be
stricken from the rolls of the alliance.
They are Rev. =. G. j. Meiring, of Jo-

there.
The letter of withdrawal was not
made public in the convention, but was
referred to the business committee
without reading, and an effort was
made to find DR.. Meiring and secure
its withdrawal. He disappeared, how
ever, and the effort was unavailing.
