W. W. Duncan, presiding over ths

were two or three, who persisted in

his talk and asked the women to be
quiet, He was delighted to have
the women and other visitors there,
but they must know that he could
not permit them to stand on the floor
and talk and talk while the Confer
ence waited f,r them to get through.
Barely had the Bishop concluded
when the voices of the women were
heard again. And thus it kept on.
Sarcasm failed. The Bishop, grow
ing more and more impatient, tried
to stop the thing but could not. He
declared that be had held big meet

he had nevermet with anything equal
to this. He invited those who
wished to talk to leave and rera;r
