Another ballot was taken for the re-
manning bishops yet to be named and
consideration of the report of the COM
mittee on education, which formulated
the details of the reorganization of the
board of education, Freedman's Aid
and Sunday schools departments into
three separate societies was resumed.
There was no election or a Dlshop on
the eleventh ballot.
The conference decided that there
should be two corresponding secre-
taries Of the board of Freedmen's aid,
who shall be coordinate. the under
standing that there shall be a white
man and negro. It was decided that
it would be to the advantage OF the
church to have a representative or
each race, as the negro could inspire
his own part Of the church. while it
was stated that the white man would
have access to churches unavailable to
the negro and thus be able TO rafse
funds necessary for the work. After
some minor amendment the report In
its entirety was adopted.

reports presented last Saturday was
about to recommence, the result or the
eleventh ballot for bishops was an
