Several have written c'oih ueniiii,* the suspension of the two hishops at the last General Conference. And almost every writer is lenient toward one, but offer no apology for the other. One of the writers would infer that one of the suspended bishops was innocent or word* to that effect. Of course I see no need of tht> discussion since that body has adjourned. Those who are attempting to defend them now were members of the Conference that suspended them and no record can be produced where they made ,any efforts to defend iliem ftt the -pioper?time arid place. Ho all that one says now will only agitate the case and bring added condemnation upon the unfortunate fathers. Ong of the bishops Tn his communication that he did not differ with the verdict of guilt but thought that4 the penalty was too st; ? {y - . . *? M'l'i'. Ik* believed a reprimand would! have hoen a sufficient punishment. Jt may have escaped the Kood bishop's memory that the same bishop to whom i?e rpfer's was reprimanded | practically foY the same offense at < the (icneral Conference in Philadelphia in IP 16.

When a pastor misplaces?h?few?dollars of goneriTT" 'claims;-" ho must be ^'suspended, but when a bishop takes $11,000. he must simply be reprimanded accordim?- to "that bishop's decision."
