GENERAL CONFERENCE ROOM,
ASHEVlILE, N. c., May 10.--It IL a
keen atmosphere, this Of general
conference. battle of wits. Dexterity
is needed to get the floor and more
needed to make good use of that floor
when obtained. There are scores OF
quick loss and bright minds to say
nothing Of the chaira alert to catch
any man In a parliamentary slip or
q logical flaw. This Is particularly
true IL a member Is suspected OF ex-
plotting himself or afflicted with any
tinge Of exaggerated ego. He is cer-
tain TO be marked for good humored
slaughter and In endorsed by laugh.
The debate OF to-day has been upon
the report of the committee on
church extension, recommending that
an additional assessment Of $4,000 he
laid throughout the church each year
for four years to build a suitable rep
resentattve church In Washington. d.
G. There was no difference of opinion
az to the building Of such a. church..
The conference differed az to the
method OF raising the money. Many
opposed general assessment and
urged that the church extension sec
rotary ought to personally raise the
money. 1t was said that the church
ounces Oh our nalonAt Capltai COM
pare less favorably with the public
buildings than In any capital In the
world. 1t is proposed to put a half
million dollars In this church. Tho
debate was closed by the acceptance
OF substitute offered by DIR. Can
non, OF Virginia, authorizing the board
Of church extension to raise the
money by either method deemed wise.
Bishop Hess occupied the chair to-
day. Rev. pr. Tarboux. of Brazil.
