Primitive Methodist Conference.
o — — — — (Per Press Association). I Wellington, January 13. At the Primitive Methodist Conference this morning the following resolution was proposed : — " That while we eincerely appreciate the courtesy with which our brethren of the Wesleyan general conference have discussed the question of Methodist union, yet we resolve that we do not see our way to accept union on the basis offered the concessions made by them being small, while the sacrifices required from us include the exclusion of laymen from questions of reception, ordination, finally stationing and superannuation of ministers, it being directly opposed to our church policy that a layman is eligible to a seat on any of our church courts." This resolution was carried by 49 votes, the whole of the delegates present voting in its favor.
