For the rest in the last week of their session, the Methodists refused to abolish life tenure of bishops;* went on record against military training for schoolboys; accepted the recommendations of the Committee on Episcopacy to the effect that there be 21 areas in the United States and 12 in foreign parts; considered a committee's report which suggested liberalizing in favor of the innocent party church rulings against divorce...
