The patriotic resolution was offered
by the Revs. D. H. Martin, James S.
Montgomery and John r. Edwards, all
of Washington. It pledged to the Pres
ident loyal and unfailing support in

Alcock and the Rev. Drs. John F.
Goucher and j. F. Heisse. The rec
ommendation was that $500 be rails
ed by the conference to support the
paper, which was opposed by some
delegates on the ground that the pa
per seemed to be no nearer to paying
its own way and that there was gen.
eral lack of interest in a church or
