conference oppOsed TObaeeO.


A report was adopted at the closing
session of the Southwest Missouri
Conference of the Methodist church,
South, Kansas City, suggesting that
law be passed, prohibiting ministers
in the future from using tobacco. The
suggestion caused considerable discus
sion, and the conference was clearly
divided over the issue. In the report
of the committee on memorials it was
suggested that a law be passed pro-
hibiting the use of tobacco by any
prospective members of the Southwest
Missouri Conference. At the end Of
the report there were the signatures Of
several influential members of the con-
ference who were opposed to the
recommendation and when the first
vote was taken by Bishop Gambler,
the ayes and noes seemingly were di-
vided. The vote to determine wheth-
er or not the report was to be adopted,
therefore, was taken by the opposing
factions standing, with the result that
the report was adopted.
