BAPTISTS END STRIFE.
Controversy Over New Mexico Juris.
diction AmicahlY Adjusted.

DIES MONIES May 25.-Strife, which
has divided the Baptists Of New Mexico
for two years, was brought to an end at
the Northern Baptist conference, when
the delegates cast a practically unani-
nous vote to turn the state over to the
Southern Baptist convention.
Decision on the question came with
the adoption Of the report of the COM
mittee named to confer with the South
ern Baptist convention. The report
called for the withdrawal from New
Mexico of the American Baptist Home
mission board of the Southern Baptist
of the work OF that society to the home
mission board OF the suthern Baptist
convention.
1t also required that the Baptists of
New Mexico. now divided into two con-
ventions. shall organize a joint conven-
ton within sixty days.
Fundamental principles of comfy to
prevent the repetition of such situa-
ton as las prevailed in New Mexico for
two years, were adopted as follows.
1. The independence of the local Bap-
fist Church.
=. The moral interdependence and the
cooperation of Baptist churches in pro-
noting the interests of the kingdom of
God.
3 The purely advisory nature of all
UNCONVENTIONAL organization in their
relations to Baptist churches.
