He deeded them back to her. His status, however, was resented by the northern Methodists, who held that it would “greatly embarrass the exercise of his office as a general superinten- dent, f not in some places entirely prevent it. Defense of Slavery. Interpreting the sentiment of the south. Bishop Andrew's friends held that slavery was not evil, that It was clearly countenanced in the old and new Testaments and cited the scrip- tures to prove It. The result of the long debate, termed “ugly wrangling” by one who /eard it, was the adoption of a reso- lution urging Bishop Andrew to “de- sist from the exercise of his duty so long as the impediment remains.” The southern delegates, declaring that their constituents could not sup- port a church that had so declared, moved that the slave-holding and the slaveless States organize their own conforences. The slave-holding states organized the M. E. Church, South, at Louisville, Ky., the following year. Under the plan that has been ap- proved, the existing jurisdictional conferences will be retained, with a Eeneral conference over them. Kach of the existing conferencs will cede powers to the central body. R PRV 2 WOMEN IN LOVE SuUIT CHARGED WITH PERJURY Presiding Judge in $100,000 Alien- ation Case Acts Against Centra] Figures.
