SAYING he did not like church bicker
ings and that they only arose on great
problems There was something of q
stir at this in the ranks of the min
listers.
When the secretary Of the conference
aud member of the committee on
credentials admitted that many dele
gates had been elected illegally, but
that the committee did not wish to
disbar them the conference was again
agitated.
The discussion of the report was the
feature of the morning session; 1t was
led by Rev. DR. F. T. Little of Chester
town. The allegation was made that
many churches of the conference had not
properly elected their delegates. The re-
port was withdrawn for recommendation.
Rev. j. w. Trout of st. Luke's Church,
Philadelphia, offered resolution that the
steward for the church home receive the
amount for the presidents parsonage.
This was adopted.
Twenty-six churches were reported as
not properly electing delegates by the
committee on credentials. The conference
was asked to define action on this mat
ter.
