NJ. z. south Conference.

inyton came to a close on Tuesday
morning. A. discussion preceded the
final djournment, on the handol-
ph-Macon controversy.
The Randolp h-Macon controversy
as to the right Of the trustees to declare
he college non -sectarian in character
and thereby gain the benefits Of the
/ Carnegie foundation fund for superan-
nuafed instructors, again made its APP
pearanee and provoked spirited de-
bate, which resulted in the adoption
of memorial to the General Confer
ence calling for action by the supreme
| council Of the church.
IL was presented through memorial
| 10 the General Conference, which
III ests In AsbeviIle n. c., in May, pre-
scented by Rev. f. v REGISTER, pre-
siding elder OF the Baltimore district.
The resolution asks that the General
Conference take such steps "as may
| be needed to secure 10 our church all
| the educational institutions built by
| the wisdom toll and gifts ofthe church
and "to settle beyond cavil the owner
| ship and control through boards OF
| trustees of educational institutions,
| 40 far as the law Of the states viii al
low the church to own aud control
| these institutions"
| UThe memorial is said to have been
inspired by DR.. Collins Denny, of Van
derbuilt University, who has cham
pioned. the rights of the Methodist
Church to keep the Randolph Macon
| Colleges distinctly denomnational.
Hardly had DR.. Register read the
memorial when q. NJ. Armstrong a
| nj ember of tue Baltimore conference
and one OF the Randolph-Macon trus-
tees, sprang to his feet and began a
| vehement speech in opposition to the
memorial. He declared that the con-
ference could withdraw its appropri-
alton to the colleges without appealir g
| the matter to the General Conference
and argued that the charters of the
colleges cannot be changed as the con-
| fe renee desires under the laws of Vlr-
ginia.
DR.. Denny replied heatedly, in de
tense of the memorial, and the matter
went to vote. The memorial was
adopted and will be considered by the
General Conference.
