War Claim Controversy Settled with Harmony in Conference
The article reports a tense yet harmonious settlement of a long standing war claim dispute within the Methodist Church. Delegates reach a majority backed compromise, providing for the return of $258,000 to the National Treasury if Congress approves, and codifying a Jordan amendment to guide future action. The McMurry substitute imposes limits on agents and aligns church actions with congressional decisions. The conference anticipates final text and guidance from Bishop presiding.
