THE METHODIST CONFERENCE
THE QUESTION OF UNION. By Telegraph.—Press Association. ' Christchurch, Last Night At the evening sitting of the Methodist Conference, a committee was set up to negotiate with the Primitive Methodist Committee re union. The ex-president, the Rev. C. H. Laws, was accorded a hearty vote of thanks for his services during the past year. It was agreed that the Minister of Defence be requested to arrange for the Methodist chaplains to attend encampments of Territorials, and that such chaplains be quartered amongst the men, and to take their part in conducting church parade. A committee was set up to nominate eight additional chaplains for the military districts of Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury and Otago. A motion was agreed to suggesting an amendment of the Defence Act in order to relieve those who have conscientious objections from undergoing military service or training.
