Booth circuit representatives to the synod War and military training provoked a long discussion, and it was suggested the meeting should support the conscientious objector. However, a resolution was finally adopted supporting the attitude of tho Methodist Conference that war as a means of settling disputes was futile, and that Christians should lind some other way, believing that war is contrary to the mind of Christ. A resolution was carried expressing appreciation of Mr. Leadloy's woj'k during his superinte'ndency of the circuit, and inviting him to remain for a third year. Mr. Leadley accepted tho invitation,.
