also petition other conferences to do
likewise. II this Is done and the agi-

The meeting OF the General Confer
ence, last week, when the amend
ment was adopted, was the most tumul-
tuous OF the session, and Bishop Foss,
the presiding officer, found it difficult
to maintain good order. A call for a
vote BY order on motion to remove
the time. limit was made first by lay
man and then by minister, and was
overwhelmingly lost. DR.. Buckley
moved that the ayes and nays be called
aud he was sustained
Motions to amend the majority and
minority reports Of the committee were
offered in rapid succession during the
discussion OF the subject, which had
been before the conference for thu GO
days. The majority report. faroring
the abolition Of the time-limit, but
leaving 1t to the quarterly conference
for decision as to the number Of times
pastor could be returned, was laid on
the table. DR.. Buckley said an investi.
cation had been made by one bishop Ia
the II conferences ne had held during
the year and he had found strong
sentiment in favor of returning pastor
to his church as often as might prove
beneficial to it or desirable to ma
iority of the members. The question
was called for and resulted in the
adoption Of the majority report.
