Bishop Soulo Irns iuvited Bishop Andrew to jolh hin in his attendance at the Southero conferences; and Bishop Andrew has consen'ed - and the honors nnd fatigues of the episcopal work 3 to bc shared bet ween them. IJas not the M. E. Church now got n slace-holding Bishop? The editor of Zion's ITerald says: - This is a delibérate disregard of what thé public mind, not only of the church b'Jt of the country, must deetn the prudent and befitting course in the present state of the coatroversy about Bishop Andrew. Not too fast, roy brethren. The Bishop has the authority of the last General Conference for this very course. The Conference had his case under prayerful consideration for two weeks, nnd then laid him under no disability, but only advised him not to exercise his office; and then, subsequently, they resolved, Ã5at whether he should follow that advice or not. should be left to his own decisión. The Bishop has now decided just as the Conference authorized him to do. Thechurch has a slavr-holding Bishop, and by the votes of Northern raen - for they voted to leave it to the Bishop's own decisión, whiÃe the Southern members voted against it. -
