ACTIVITIES OF MINISTERS. (I)y Telegraph.-—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. Whether Methodist ministers should bo permitted by the Church to occupy civic positions was a question debated by the Methodist Conference to-day. Some speakers opposed the principle of ministers engngin;* in outside activities, urging that the ministry was a whole-time job. Other speakers said that there were demands for social service from the Church. It was resolved that no minister should accept nomination for any civic position without the Sanction of his circuit quarterly meeting and the approval of the president's committee of advice, in consultation with the chairman of the district.
