" Ministers and Tobacco. A memorial was presented, which is to I HO to tho Gonoral Conference, against tho uso of tobacco by ministers. Tho preamble laid many faults to tho wood, among other things hoing that its use was a filthy habit, that Its ludulgenoe is in the nature of a habit Injurious to tho health, and that ministers should by pre I copt and example disoourago Its uso. I Tho toruiB used against tho wood brought laughter, although the signers of tho memorial were deeply in earn cst. It re quested tho General Conforenoo to pass a law to make new ministers take a plodgo not to uso tobacco. Rev. R. C. McRoy Expelled. Tho trial committee made a report on tho charges preferred against Rev. R. 0. Molloy, who was charged with gross im morality. The committee recommended that ho bo expelled from tho ministry and the church, and tho conforenoo en I dorsed tho report.
