many thought only two would be

OF the seven bishops elected all are
in the prime Of life and the delegates
are congratulating themselves that

were engaged in school work; the
fourth, DR.. W. R. Lambuth, being the
only one not so employed. It is a
singular fact that none of the bish-

see, e. D. MoGzon of Texas, R. G..
Waterhouse of Virginia and J. H. Nc
Coy of Alabama, the bishops elected
today, were kept busy receiving the
congratulations of friends.
Friends of Bishops Morrison are
glad that the events of the past few
days regarding charges against him
are over. Bishop Morrison was shown
the attitude Of the conference when
at this afternoons session, he took
the chair and was roundly applauded.
The most courteous treatment was
shown him during his presidency.
The Vanderbilt university matter

that the report of the committees on
education, favoring the church, will
receive the Endorsement of the dele
gates by a large vote.
