LOWTHER
WILL APPEAL TO A HIGHER CON.
FERENCE.
At the Request, as He Says, of Many
Educated Methodists.


Mcpherson, Kan, April 10.-Rev. Gran
Vile Lowther has decided to appeal from
the verdict of the trial committee OF
eleven in the recent Methodist Epis-
copal conference at Arkansas City. which
found him guilty of teaching heretical
teachings and deposed him. He says:
MANY Methodists urge me to appeal
because they think the decision is an
injustice TO their denomination on the
questions involved and commits them 10
old statements which no educated man
believes.
Bishop Andrews. in a recent address
delivered to the candidates for orders in
the Baltimore conference. emphasized the
same teachings for which I have been
expelled. Bishop Warren is a scientist
Of the modern type. Bishop Vincent is
an avowed evolutionists and higher critic.
Bishop Foster is accounted heterodox in
the teachings of his book, Beyond the
Grave" Bishop Bowman teaches that
while in mid ocean he had a telepathic
message concerning the death of his
wife. Bishop Foss teaches faith heal
ing, for which three preachers, within
three years have been debarred from
the Southwest Kansas conference. Half
the members OF our conference are. &C
cording TO Wesley, wrong on the doctrine
Of holiness.
