were cogent and brilliant. They spoke with
case and grace. and. on the whole. 1t was.
1 think. the most interesting day / have
spent in many a year.
During the afternoon session feeling ran
high. There was an uncertainty about the
issue which rendered everything intense.
For three hours there was bombardment
which drove the general pulse up into the
nineties Only ten-minute speeches were al
lowed. and at the end Of that time, for
every delegate seemed to have n watch in
his hand. the speaker was called to order.
This happened sometimes In the middle Of
n sentence. but no mercy was shown, and
he had to retire.
Doctor Dickey Closed Debate.
The last twenty minutes were given to
Doctor Dfckey, who wants some credal
changes made which will clear up certain
doctrinal obscuritieS. and he spoke with a
heartiness which carried the audience COM
pletely. He summed up the case OF the
liberals In a mastery way and made a
tremendous impression.
Then the fateful moment was at hand.
We should know in ten minutes the result
of long debate. There was a good deal OF
skirmishng about points of order. but the
Moderator was autocratic and had a good
grip on methods Of procedure. The sup
pressed excitement was such as Is seldom
felt.
When the question was put. solid two
thirds vote was in favor of making some
changes. and a one-third vote In favor OF
dsmissing the whole subject. 1t was {,
great surprise to everybody. They all
shook hands, however, and everybody was
in the best of spirits.

which provides that no member Of any Sc

for more than two hours. but final decision

The Masonic and Odd Fellows orders were
special objects of attack. one delegate going
so far as to say that he believed no mem-
ber OF secret society could ever reach
heaven.
Henry Wallace of Des Moines favored re-
vision, stating as reason that men go to
secret societies because the church creed Is
too narrow. Doctor James Grove Of Phil

MILAN thought Fraternalism taught by Sc
Cret societies was anti-Christian. The Rev.
erend T. H. Moffatt of New York said no
man could be botn a Mason or an Odd Fell
law and Christian.
The Reverend Il. X. Smith, the only negro
delegate. thought secret societies were
wrong because they compelled a man to
keep secrets from his wife. which was con-
trary to the Bible teachings. The afternoon
session was occupied by reports of mission
