The ancient Stoics tacoiit a valc-
able lesson when they instilled tho
doctrine that tho Ills and evils of lifo
must bo borne with patient resignation

strengthening force of a strong will
and mental discipline to steel one's

from beginning to end. It contributed
largely towardsshuttitig out the Spring

most unluterestlug April iu the recol
lection of the oldest Inhabitant. May
come lu Sunday brightly smiling, sweet
with fragrant associations, balmy with
the breath of open (lowers. The trull

wood violet, tho blue tlagous of the

ripening spring. May cheers t ho mind

the fifth mouth in the year, reckoned
from our first of January, nnd tho

LAYMEN RECEIVE SEPARATE SEATS

reed In Their Attempt After a Spirited
Debate a Whole Hay Long.
Omaha, May S. Tho twenty-fourth quad
rennial conference of the Methodist Episco
pal church was called to order at Boyd's
Opera bouse. Bishop Bowman and Dr. 8.
Monroe were elected permanent secretaries.
The entire morning session was devoted to
a discussion of the proposition to seat the
l.iy delegates separate from the clergy.
During the discussion Dr. John Ianahan
said be wished to congratulate the laymen
upon the demand, lie believed that the
laymen would have more influence and
power In the conference by being seated
separately.
The Appearance of Autagonliin.
Mr. Btnkle, of Kentucky, vigorously com
bated the Idea of separate seating. "I dc
not congratulate the laymen upon this de
tnand for separate seating," said Mr. Binkle.
1 know that we had the meetings tht
other night, and 71 out of about 100 laymen
voted for the separate seating. They
wanted the sheep and the goats separted.
Borne thought they should be called sheet
and lambs. I want to plead for the lambs,
I want the laymen and ministers seated to
gether. I want the advice of the ministers,
nnd I want the ministers to get advice occa
sionally from the laymen. If we are seated
separately It will have the appearance of
antAgonlsm,"
I.o.l Their Individuality.
Mr. Murray, of central Pennsylvania, a
lay delegate, said that they were glad to do
honor to the ministers, but they wanted to
be seated by themselves for the influence It
would glvo In the conference. They had
lost their individuality heretofore, as nine
toen laymen had been interspersed between
over COO ministers. One advantage the pro
posed order of things would give would be
the possibility of conferring together. They
merely wanted to be placed on an equality
with tho ministers.
BMr. Field, of Pennsylvania, said that there
was no thought of arousing antagonism be
tween the laymen and the minlfters. The
desire wastocreate acloserunlon by placing
the laymen where they could do the most
for the interests they represented.
Dr. J. M. Buckley, of New York city,
then took the floor. He said tho object of
giving laymen representation in the con
ference was to secure tho assistance of the
laymen in the framing of tho laws of the
church. Hod the laymen been given a fair
chance to exercise equal power with the
ministers! Dr. Buckley thought not. He
recounted the history of the conference
legislation upon the subject, and held that
tho laymen had been handicapped by fail
ing to get a separate vote in the conference
when they had demanded It.
The Laymen Victorious.
"Nine-tenths of the laymen," said Dr.
Buckley, "attend but one general confer
ence, but the ministerial delegates usually
go to conference after conference, and the
bishops who preside know them. The bish
ops are not acquainted with the laymen,
and when they arise on the floor or the con
ference, along with half n dozen ministers,
what Is the result!
"The presiding officer usually recognizes
some ministerial delegate, and the layman
Bits down."
Dr. Lewis C. Curtis, uf Chicago, said that
it was simply n questiott of privilege for the
laymen nnd not of compulsion. If they
wanted to sit by themselves the ministers
could not do les than to grant their re
quest. After a long wrangle the conference de
cided to allow lay delegates who so desired
to select seats separate from the ministerial
delemttefl
Ouaha, Neb. May 4. The task of sat
isfying the clamoring seat hunting del
egates finally became too heavy for Bish
op Foster, and being appointed to read
the Episcopal address, which contains
70,000 words, he yielded the chair to
Bt&hop Andrews in order to save his
voice, which was fast failing him. On
motion of Dr. Smith, of Iowa, It was de
cided to postpone the reading of the ad
dress. When everybody had been seated
Dr.-Neely, of Philadelphia, offered th
following plan of organization:
The shall be twelve standing cam
lnltees, as follows: Episcopacy, itinerary,
boundaries, revisal, temporary needs of
the church, missions, education, church
extension, Sunday schools aud tracts,
freedmen said, and work in the south.
The first six of these committees will
meet on Mondays Wednesdays and
Fridays, and the last six on Tuesdnvs.
Thursdays and Saturdays. Adopted. BQ
An invitation from Lincoln, Neb., tc
visit that city May 14, without expense
to the delegates, was presented by
Chancellor Crighton, of the Wesleyan
university, and was accepted. Special
trains will be run free of charge.
Bishop Foss presided over the deliber
ations of the afternoon sessions, held at
the First Methodist church. The first
business was a committee reference of
the question of the payment of expenses
in the case where a delegate did not ap
pear until after Ills reserve had been
seated in his place. It was an awkward
question, and finally went to a commit
tee of nine.
Dr. Neely, of the constitution com
mittee, to which the revision of the con
stitution was referred at the hist qnad
riennial conference in 18SS, appeared
with -a pamphlet report of the commit
tee which recommended many changes
and gave several interpretations not
heretofore thoroughly understood. The
reading was long, and to some tedious.
Colonel Ray, one of the members of
the constitution committee, had a mi
nority report which was also printed.
The minority report went to the extent
of recognizing women as lay delegates.
Some discussion as to the time for hold
ing debate upon the report occurred. In
the meantime both' reports were ordered
printed. It was ordered that the ex
penses of the constitution committee be
paid to the conference.
Committees were appointed on tem
perance and prohibition, circulation of
The Christian Advocate and reception
of fraternal delegates. After some dis
cussion as to the composition of the tem
perance and prohibition committer it
was decided tlmt a committee of one
member from each conference delega
tion be appointed, thus making the com
mittee consist of 111 members.
HOmaiia, Neb., May 5, Bishop War
den presided at the moming session of
the Methodist conference. The episco
pal address was read by Bishop Foster.
The reports reviewed the work In foreign
lands, showing the work to be iu excel
lent condition all over the world. No
schisms, no dissension had appeared iu
the church during the past four years.
Since the last general conference fully
400,000 members have been added to the
church, a greater growth than had ever
been known in its history.
Vote on the AVoinun Question.
The report then touched on the vote
in the annual conference and churches
upon the admission of women to the
general conference. The result was
given as follows: Laity For, 833,063;
against, 108,849. Minlsterial-For, 3,
C09; against, 4,944. The report gave an
exhaustive review of every branch of
the church work and recommended that
great care be exercised in procuring
ministers, strong, loyal men, fully
abreast with the education of the age,
for an educated pew wonld not endure
an uneducated pulpit.
