questions of church law which the
Dunkards are. deeply interested in is
the subject Of divorce. Congressional
enactments are being studied by the
brethren, and the matter informally
discussed. It is altogether unlikely
that any change will be made in the
rules of the denomination, which are
firmly opposed to divorces. The con-
ference refused, after a long discus
sion, to make any change in the CHURCH
law by allowing the sisters the same
privileges in the conference as the
brethren Doctrinal discussions occu-
