The session Of the conference while
the debate upon the merger Of the
Muskingum and Ohio bodies was un-
der discussion nearly took on the ap-
pearance of the legislative halls Of the
government during fight over free
wool, or some other equally important
subject, and the question before the
meeting was equally important as al
fecting the church as is the tariff
question to the government.

Body As Unit; Delegates
Attend Glass Reception

The greater part OF the session Of
the MuGkingum conference Friday
morning was taken up with discus
sion Of the report of the church extern
sion board with respect TO the advis.
ability Of consolidating the Musking-
um and Ohio conferences of the
church. The committee appointed last
year to consider this question reported
f&ycrably upon the move, holding that
it would tend TO increase the useful
ness Of both conferences and broaden
the work of the church as whole.
Many delegates took part in the dis
cussion following this report Friday
morning. Several expressed them
selves as fayorably inclined toward the
consolidation, while others declared

that they did not believe such a step
would make for the progress antici-
pated by those favoring the plan. Rev.
Coburn, retiring president of the con-
shown that his views were wrong he
would be glad to change his opinion,
but that at present he believes the
consolidation would tend to increase
expenses without doing any particular
good along the lines of progress.
The discussion of the question occu-
pied so much time that it was neces-
sary to grant a longer period to this
part of the morning session than had
been allotted to it,
The delegates expressed themselves
vigorously, many advocating the con-
solidation, while others opposed it
strenuously and it was not until 12
O'Clock that vote was taken on the
question. When put to vote, .howev-
er, the proposed merger was ratiled
by the vote of all but two delegates.
The continued discussion of the
merger of the two conferences took up
so much time Friday morning that 9th

afternoon session. A nominating

his wife started 10 "shoot off" over the

was enough that he told her to stay
