 Rev Dr. Lewis Parks of New York, on behalf of those who made the minority report on the proposed divorce canon, withdrew their resolution, but the with drawal does not mean that there will be any let-up in the fight against the pro posal to prohibit clergymen remarrying the innocent person in divorce suit for infide1ity while the former partner lives. The members of the minority considered the situation would be less complicated by the withdrawal of the report.
 Francis A. Lewis of Philadelphia, Rev. Geo. c. Hall of Wilmington, Del, Arch deacon F. A. DeRooset of Springfield, Ill.,. Rathbone Gardner of Providence, R. l., and Rev. Dr. Alfred Hardin of Washington, D. C., made addresses today in support of the proposed amendments to the divorce canon Those who spoke in opposition included A. H. Brown of San Francisco, John G. Kicks of Searcy, Ark; Wilhelmus Mybders of Brooklyn, Rev. Dr. H. H. Moore of Parkersburg, w. Va, and George Wharton Pepper of Philadelphia. Early In the afternoon the debate was put over until tomorrow.
 The house of bishops and house of dep uties held a joint session late this even- ing and heard reports from mission fields.
 Tonight public meeting of the church association for the advancement of the interests of labor was held in Faneuil hall at which a number of prominent | churchmen delivered addresses
