Special to Times Republican,


| Muscatine, Sept Is. Methodists
fought and won a battle yesterday
when the Iowa conference, by a. deci-
sive vote, passed a resolution condemn
ing the undermining of their faith OF
changing from that established by
John Wesley to a brand alleged to be
better suited to the present day. The
conference said it did mot favor the
election as teacher In any our schools,
as editor of any of our papers, or AZ
agent for any Of our books, a person
who is opposed to the fifth article Of
our religion
This is the same as saying that IN
less such candidates subscribe fully to
the tenets of Methodism as taught for
ages he has heretical tendencies, and
is a menace to the church. The DON'T
nant idea thruout the heated debate
on the question seemed to be that any
step toward loosening the rigid reins
of Methodism would lead to yet more
liberty Of thought and action, and
would eventually permit. or at least
overlook. dancing, card playing and
other prohibited amusements. 1t
seemed TO be battle between the
cities and the rural districts, and the
rural districts won.
