Statement Asks Petitioning
for Exemption From
Service. * ;
My th* Associated Press.
COLUMBUS. Ohio, May 18.—A dec- i
laratton that the Methodist Episcopal 1
Church as an institution “does not
Indorse, support or purpose to partici- i
pate in any war” went before the Gen*
tral Conference today for consideration.
Coming as the report on peace of the
Committee on State of the Church,
the statement asked that the United
States Government be petitioned to
(rant to members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church who are conscien
tious objectors to war "the same exemp
tion from military service that has long
been granted to members of the Society
of Friends and similar religious insti
tutions."
Action Likely Tomorrow.
Action on the report was expected
to be deferred until tomorrow or Mon
day.
A statement submitted by a commit
tee on temperance, prohibition and
public morals to the conference for
adoption said that the Methodist Epis
copal Church was not retreating from
ft war on the liquor traffic.
"It 1s intolerable that any govern
ment that participates in revenues
ahould be a party to a business which
thrives upon the physical, social and
iptrltu&l decay of Its people. We de
mand that such participation cease,”
the statement said.
Dr. G. Bromley Oxnam, president of
Depauw University since 1928, was
elected a member of the Methodist
Board of Bishops last night on the
thirteenth ballot with a total of 401
Votes.
Dr. Oxnam, who withdrew after the
second ballot when he had 327 votes,
only 57 fewer than the two-thirds ma
jority needed, filled the fourth and
last vacancy on the board.
Given Huge Ovation.
The General Methodist Conference
gave him a tremendous ovation and
he was conducted to the platform to
, join the three elected previously. They
were Dr. Wilbur Hammaker of
Youngstown, Ohio; Dr. Charles Flint,
chancellor of Syracuse University, and
Dr. Alexander P. Shaw of New Orleans,
the colored member.
Dr. Oxnam's supporters re-entered
him in the race when the eleventh
ballot failed to elect the fourth mem
ber. Dr. Harry W. McPherson, presi
dent of Illinois Wesleyan University,
was leading then with 195 votes.
John M. Springer of Elizabethville,
Belgian Congo, for 35 years a mis
a ion ary to Africa, led the balloting
With 200 votes today as the Methodist
Episcopal General Conference at
tempted to name a missionary bishop
for service on the "dark continent.”
The winner needs 386 votes.
