The question Of permitting the

In the January meeting and was a

that they be allowed the right of
suffrage IN the meetings of the

Moderator Ruling.

The question came up in the April
meeting and the motion was made
to permit them to vote. This was
never acted upon, the point being
made that the adoption of Hiscox
Church Directory by the Ebenezer
Baptist Church governed and re-
pealed the custom and usage of the
church. Rev. William II. Stokes was
appealed to in the matter and ruled
IN favor of those making the point.
This ruling has not been reversed
by the church and it is rumored that
further discussion will follow when
the matter comes before the church
at the next regular meeting
