DEACONESS' STATUS FIXED
Methodist Church to Care for Wonv
rn Ordained by Bishops.
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.
"We have hoped for this action for
a number of years." said Miss Kuter,
"and It will be a matter of general re
joicing that the General Conference haa
at last aettled this question."

JOHN BURROUGHS
EVER WROTE
The famous naturalist was asked by
a clergyman to speakttor-riis people on
the gospel of nature. It set Mr. Bur
roughs to wondering whether nature
had any gospel in the clergyman's
sense of the word. Then he wrote
the "Gospel of Nature" as he saw it.
Here are-some of the things he told
the people now for the first time
published in the June Century.
