The vote will be reiorted At the net general assenmbly. The proposal that womien be permilt ted to fill the office of deacon Irotght at protest from Reverend Abraham, of Chester, Penn. He quoted from the book of Acts, in which -he said the tihvcve al)ostles, in calling for the ap pointimlent of deacons, gave this in junction to the disciples: "Look ye r)ut, therefore, :brethren, from among s;eveiI men of good report, full of the upitrit and wisdom you may appoint over this business." "We have this for on guard, breth ren," declared Reverend Lathom, "antl I believe we should stick pretty cloase to the Good Book." A generous round of'applause greet. ed this quotation, but immediately there was counter--quotation from a commissioner who found his insplira tion in the book 'of Romans. 1le qcuot ed: "I commend unto you, Phoebe, our sister, who is de.aconess of the church that is at Conchreae. that ye receive her in the Lord, lworthily of the saints, and that ye assist her in whatsoever matter she may have need of you. For she herself also hath been the helper of many and of mine own self."

Last year ' a Presbyterial vote on an overture op posing a change in the constitutional government of the church so that wo men might 'be eligible to vote the offices of elder and deacon showed a defeat for the overture.
