Commission Created

The conference voted to create a COM
mission with a like commission from
the Northern Methodist church to
consider the wisdom of the ex-
change of territory and such other
adjustments as may be possible
and practicable in order THAT all
needless waste and competition may be
eliminated, and that American Method
ism may, under the most favorable con
ditions, and to the best advantage, oc-
cupy and cultivate the whole field.
II began to look as if the conference
was doomed to crash on the rocks
when the proposal to- increase the lay
representation at each annual confer
ence from four to ten delegates from
each district conference came up for
disposition.
Judge John S. Gambler threatened to
tie up proceedings by making point
that no quorum was present, but COM
promise was effected on eight laymen
from each district, an increase of four
vet two less than the number sought.
The action failed to meet the APP
proval of r. w. Adams, of Houston,
Texas. who attempted to make the point
that no quorum was present. MT
Adams even climbed to the platform
but Bishop E. r. Hendrix, who was
in the chair, declined to recognize him.
so the compromise Of eight STOOD ana
the proceedings went ahead

cipline was appointed. All Methodists
were urged to observe, in accordance
with President Wilson's proclamation,

success of our forces in arms.
A resolution to outline some Of the
duties of bishops at annual conferences
was tabled.

Urgent advice to all stock and

was the unanimous opinion of the
members present that any whole

disastrous, not only for the state,

feed the animals now within its bor-
Iders. and even import animals from
less fortunate regions.
Careful feeding was urged In the

ANSWERING THE DRAFT CUES
II. TIONS

!, Another great body of men will now
be faced with the formidable draft ques-
tiOnaire, and must tell the government
all about their experience, responsible
ties and qualifications.
To the first body of conscripted men,
The war was q wholly new thing. It was
natural for agreat many men to look at
the call to service as a very heavy bur-
den. There was a temptation to claim,
exemption on insufficient grounds Many
men did not then understand the reasons
for the war. 1t would have been strange
if everyone was wholly SINCERE in the ans
wers he gave on his QUESTIONABLE.
The attitude of the men toward the
ldraft have changed in the months that
have passed. We see the soldiers hon

They are receiving a very valuable train

out that army service has some very posi-
tive advantages.

as it is, his gifts experience and respon-
sibilities. Then he should be wiling to
leave it wholly to the draft boards to say
where he can do the most good, whether
in his old job, or !, some special war task
or in the trenc.s. He will be happier
all his life if he takes this attitude.

He takes the part of Max Ingolby,
the strong man of brains and Drawn
whom Sir Gilbert Parker has vividlv
drawn as the hero. This is a diff
cult role requiring the most difficult
handling for which Mr.. Tearle's
previous experience has eminentlv
fitted him.
