Prof. Jones was dismissed from the ell
dership by a resolution presented by Dele
gate Edwards OF New York In his re-
marks Mr.. Edwards made it plain that
Prof Jones had not been tried for heresy,
but that his credentials were demanded
as a protest against his position regarding
the organization of the church, which was
..entirely inconsistent with the settled
policy Of the church and Us rules Of gov
eminent.
1t was pointed out tHdt f,ToI Jones OBJ
| iected TO the manner in which the church
is governed. saying that 1t will eventually
lead to a one-man power. In the papers
| of dismissal the officials Of the church
were especially careful TO see that every
technical and legal proceeding was COM
piled with.
| The deposed elder has been actively en-
gagged in the work OF the Adventfsts for
over a quarter of century, and has ap-
peared before congressional committees
a number Of times in connection with
legislation which his denomination de-
sired to see enacted.
