lengthy debate the Virginia Conference

according to all. is an earnest Christian
gentleman, devoted to his work. But il
was the opinion of a small majority OF
eight. delegates that he is not adapted
to the ministry. The debate over the
case was characterized by one or two
exciting incidents. One of the last
things done was the adoption of a reso-
luton signed by Bishop Granbery, Mr.
j. p. Branch, and others inviting the
general conference of the M. E. Church
South, to hold it's next meeting in Rich
mond. The conference also decided to
meet next year in Charlottesville.
AT this afternoons session of the con-
ference there was heated debate on
the subject of control of the Christian
Advocate, the conference organ, the
question being on the appointment of a
committee to provide for bringing the
paper more fully under the control of
the conference. The matter went over
until tomorrow, to which time the con-
ference adjourned
