Bishop Gambler dismissed charges
that three OF the delegates voted

He declared that the result Of the

no authority to order it changed.
He made the ruling despite the

The bishop also dismissed three
challenges of the legality of his

In spring they change from egg to

And often change from fresh to foul.

To birds that walk about on legs,
And In their turn lay many eggs.
