The General Conference of the Meth odist Church has settled the long-drawn controversy over the control of the deaconesses by voting 400 to 200 to place the control In tha hands of a board of 21 members, who are to be appointed by the General Assembly. The deaconesses were divided into the German, the Association and the Home Mission, and their status was not fixed, although efforts to do so had been made for a number of years without success. Mlsa Sarah Kuter. ef the Portland Deaconess Home, said yesterday that this action on the part of the General Assembly means that a deaconess who has been ordained by a bishop will be cared for by the church.
