ting Couduct Of Clergy and Mem
hess Acted Upon.

The general conference OF the Meth
odist Episcopal church finished the
nnal roll call at Los Angeles, Califor-

memorable gathering In the history OF
the church. Memorial services were
hello during the afternoon and in the
vening q jubilee service In the pavil-
lon closed the series OF meetings.
The conference just closed has ac-
complished much for the interest of the
Methodist church and will 90 down IN
church history as one of the most i'm
portant In the point OF legislative At
ton.
The action Of the general conference
In retiring FIVE bishops and electing
eleven others probably attracted the
widest attention OF any other single
happening, but there were many other
subjects that affected the great mem
bership Of the Methodist church and
which were watched with deep inter
est.
Among these were the decision 10
stand by the present attitude Of the
church on the subject OF prohibited
amusements: the refusal to return to
the time limit Of pastoral services: the
generating OF certain theological
schools OF the charge of heretlcal
teachings; the unifcation OF the Meth
odist publishing houses: the %consolida-
ton OF the boards OF church benevo-
lences: providing means to support for
snperannuated ministers; fixing the
status OF su~perannuated bishops; Great
ing n commission to revise the ritual
OF the church; continuing the commits
sion appointed four years age to bring
the various branches Of Methodism
closer together in the use OF common
prayer book, hymnal and cathechisms;
a referendum of the much discussed
question OF a colored bishop and many
other matters OF smaller Importance.
The memorial N were given In
nearly every protestant church In Los
Angeles, and in other nearby cities by
bishops or ministers in attendance
upon the conference.

Premier Combes' announcement that
the question Of the separation OF the

the committee on the separation Of

as follows:
THE republic assures freedom of

exercise OF religion without restriction.

The republic will neither protect

any form whatever TO any demonina-
ton. II will not recognize any min
lister OF religion, and will not furnish
any building for the services OF any

Of its minister's"
The measure further abolishes the
~concordat. suppresses the French en-
bassy at the vatican and makes de-
tailed provision for the disposal of the
governments extensive possession OF

In comparison with the present re-
gime, under which the clergy are sal

Of self-restraint for external restraint
