Rejoicing at Albuquerque
Methodist Church WILL Take
 Vanderbilt Case Into Courts

the sooner the matter can be determined the better it will be for all concerned
 The bishop stated that while no defiite action could be taken until the bishops hold conference, there was no doubt in his mind that the courts would de- eide the matter and the church would never give up until it was convinced be- yond all doubt that it did not have the right contended for.
 There is not the shadow of doubt about the question being carried in fla vor of the church," said the bishop. The trustees profess to have applied to the law of the state, when as matter of fadt they have done nothing of the sort. The only elaborate interpretation of the laws on the subject Is the one that was made by the commission appointed by the general conference The trustees have reselled against that and have applied to the individual opinions of two or three lawyers, who were selected for the ex- press purpose of hearing their own side of the case. The church believes that the decision of the commission is in every way sound and just and will contend for it for all time"
 The conference will meet Thursday morning. While the bishop did not say any action of the case would be taken In the controversy 1t was highly probable the matter would come up.
