New York. Jan. 27.-"No man for the
Episcopacy who is over 80 years of
age" is the rallying cry of a certain
element of clergy of the Methodist
Episcopal church. which has recently
stirred up opposition of the hottest
sort in unexpected quarters.
The cry is raised now, on the eve OF
the meeting of the general conference
of the church, when the friends of the
ministers who they think would make
good bishops of the Church, are active
in their interests. Controversy over
the matter has waged all the hotter
because of the honest belief of friends

was made under duress, while the gov
eminent insisted that when confronted
with charges. Gron had resorted 20

court finally decided that the statement
was evidence against Diller B. Croft

only greed for preferment which has
given rise to the o.bishop -over-50",

men who would like to be made blsh-
