What Ministers have died since last Conference ? • ." : Tv V-:' AnSWEB, .^^.■,.. m> i.' -i: '.: w; ■ Thomas Smith, who was born February 17tb, 1812, and died June 1st, 1874. He was a native of Bermuda, and from that Island called to the work of the Christian Ministry when twenty-two years of age. He labored under the direc- tion of the Missionary Committee in Liverpool, Halifax^ MINUTED OF COK]i£li£NC£ OF [I8M vv\ ^"i and Maitland, and was ordained in Charlottetown, P. E. 1. From this province he was sent to the West Indies. On one of his stations in the Island of Domi< nica he was prostrated with sickness, from the cftects ot which he never fully recovered. Ho next spent four years in Hamilton, iBermuda, and from thence was sent to Newfoundland. He preached with acceptance and success on the Port De Grave, Bonavista, 8t. John's, and Brigas Circuits. In Bonavista he witnessed a great revival, the fruit of which remains to this day, a.s numbers are there who were converted through hin ministry, and to whom his name is fragrant with blessed memories. He was next sent to Nova Scotia in the year 1861, and stationed at Truro, then Mill Village, then Barrington. Six years ago ho was compelled to retire from the more active work of the ministry, to do what he could as far as his strength would permit. He preached occasionally, assisted i» the prayer-meetings, and took part in the various services in the town. During the winter he grew feeble, and only once came to the house of God to attend the service of song. He was im- pressed with Bunyan's words : ** After that they shut up the gates, which when I had seen I wished myself among them," he said, " I wish myself among them." His last public act was at the funeral of a friend, when with tremulous voice he prayed for the bereaved family, and touchingly breathed forth the hope of reunion in heaven. For a few days only he stood on the brink of the river of death. He responded fervently in prayer, as a few hours before he died he was commended to God. He was trusting on the atonement. His last words were, " Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." And thorn he calmly slept in Jesus, in the sixty-second year of his age, and the fortieth of his ministry. He was a good man. He manifested a deep interest sp \: [18M1 ^«"^J «AStEim BRITlSIfAMERK^A. etown, p. tho West of Domi- ) oft'ects of pent four ) was sent tatice and >t.

He was for\'ent in his prayers. He preached only Christ — Jesus and him crucified. To say there w^re no infirmities,- — no errors of judgment, would be to say he was not human. His sermons and prayers were filled with tho words and spirit of the Bible. But his weariness is over. His protracted suflerings are ended. The warrior is disarmed. The victor is crowned. The aching, the pain, the watching have ceased. The pilgrim has passed over Jordan, he has entered into rest. The servant has gone to his account. The memory yet lingers. -; " How beautiful it is for man to die Upon the walls of Zion ! to be called, * Like a watch-worn, and weary sentinel, To put his armor off and rest in Heaven.** Question V.

The governors of our institution desire J make improvements, in harmony with the increasi demands of the age, and we appeal for a nobler siisty tation in the future, that their laudable ejQforts in f direction may not be thwarted for lack of means. E, the children of Methodism may receive a liberal ed tion, in which, whilst being led through the branch earthly knowledge, they may at the same time directed to the fount whose living waters they drink, and drinking find that they shall never t i^gain. ^ Moreover we desire to provide means by which t}| young men who feel themselves called of God to pr^ the everlasting gospel, may be assisted in securing sU instruction as shall make them able ministers therl The age demands an educated ministry, men, who I the careful householder are able to bring out of treasury things new and old, able to '* hold forth , word of life,'' with such wisdom and zeal that tht | different may be aroused, scomers rebuked, and belies ' edified and built up.

We cannot close this report without reminding friends of Christian Education that at the present ti the enemies of Christ and his cause are making spei efforts to introduce elements antagonistic to those ti t EA.STEBN BBITISH AMSBIOA. 53 )red and God approved principles, which underlie system of Christianity. The conflict in different itries in Europe, and the agitation which marks si ire of passing events in the Dominion of Canada,- l-ell as the United States, indicate the importance' ;hod by all classes to the subject of education.

From the review thus furnished of our I Missionary operations, it will be seen that the di originally contemplated by this department of C tian enterprise has been more fully realized tht any previous period. Through the labors of Society not only has the work of God been strer enod and promoted in Circuits where previou had been very feebly and ineflSciently sustained it has been extended to communities hithert( sparingly furnished with the services of our church, and in some cases almost entirely destiti the appliances and privileges of any form of P tant Christianity. Moreover the efforts put fo this direction have been followed by substanti: glorious results. Congregations which had Scattered by years of neglect and religious pri\ have been re-gathered ; churches that had languished for lack of spintual nourishmeni been quickened and revived ; and not a few, their relations to the Christian Church had lon| " strangers and foreigners," have become ' citizens with the saints, and of the houselj God."

Former arrangements were always understood to be temporary, but the or- ganization of which we now become a part is designed to be permanent. It is believed to be capable of adapta- tion to the most expansive and widely extended growth. Our confidence in the plan of union was greatly strengthened by the cordiality with which, after thorough examination, it was concurred in by the cautious and eminently conservative British Confer- ence. We have also deemed it a coincidence worthy of note, and one that seemed to indicate a common guid- ance — the presence of Him who was with the ancient Church, as a pillar of cloud and flame, and who still walks in the midst of the golden candlesticks, holding the stars in his right hand — that the Australian Metho- dist Churches, without any thing of concerted action beyond their bounds, are for the accomplishment o like objects effecting an organization, the same in prin-l 'Q^t< ciple and similar in details to that which we havoj ^^nt inaugurated. I ^jiss It was thought necessary, in a movement of suchMirec great importance, involving fundamental change, bringJ ®^h ing us into r;loser relationship with more distant parta <^us of the Dominion, not only to reach unanimous concluJ ^iH I sions amongst ourselves, as the united Pastorate of thJ-f'^^ci Church, and to obtain the sanction and approval of th J plied Parent Body ; but also to secure the full concurrenci becon and co-operation of the membership of our Church al "-A represented by the official meetings. It was thereforl'*6por< provided that the " scheme of union " should be subl^cclesi mitted to the judgment of the quarterly meetings il^nurc March last. Had the vote been adverse the wholf^ofray previous action, so far as our conference was concerneJj^e m would have been nullified and made void. The resuJJ^ith of that appeal has, however, been almost unanimousfunds in favor of union.

The much esteemed brethren who c<^n- stitute the niiriority will, however, we doubt not, cheer- fully acquiesi e in the decision ; and we cannot but believe that in this matter the good hand of our God is upon us for good. When the Conference, now in session, shall have completed its work, the brethren assembled will, accord- ing to appointment, arrange the several annual Confer- ences of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and P. E. Island and Newfoundland. The ministers residing within the boundaries of these Conferences will meet annually. The General Conference composed of Delegates from the Annual Conferences with an equal number of lay representatives will meet quadrennially in the chief centres of the Dominion. The most important change consequent upon Union will take place in the department of Missionary work, instead of dual organization Foreign and Home, and contributions to the funds of the parent society, the mission work of our Church will be placed under the direction of a Board composed of representatives from each Annual Conference. The extensive and prosper- ous Home Missions of the Church, East and West, will be sustained with continued and augmented vigor. Foreign Missions will be prosecuted as fully and multi- plied as rapidly as the financial resources of the Church become available for that purpose. " Arrangements have been completed," says the last report of the parent society, " for the financial and ecclesiastical independence of the Wesleyan Methodist Church of Canada. It has been agreed on our part to defray for the present certain expenses connected with [the missions in Newfoundland and the Bermudas. ith this exception, all payments from the Society's 'unds on account of the British Dominions in North merica will cease ; and the widely extended missions o the native Indians, and to the immigrant settlers 148 MINUTES OF CONFERENCE OF [1874 ;"^^ i' im m vie\ rapi mac the mu8 futu throughout those vast regions, will be carried on by the Canadian Methodist Church exclusively. These ar- langements have been effected in a spirit of perfect harmony ; and the parent society, looking at the won- derful growth and development of this her giant child from the West, invoking the Lord's continued smile and blessing upon Canadian Methodism, may well thank God and take courage." ,^ We cannot, without recreance to our trust, discredit! g^j^^ to ancestral distinction and disloyalty to the Great n^ ^^ Head of the Church, relax in Missionary work and infli^ enterprise.

With unfeigned gratitude and joy we acknowledge the special favor and abundant blessing of God, in this last of the Conferences of the United Eastern Provinces. The sessions have been characterized by great harmony. The several meetings both of devotion and business have been pervaded by an atmosphere of spiritual life. An " unction of the holy One " which challenges afresh our confidence in the resources of an earnest and faithful ministry, has eminently rested upon all our assemblies. While compelled under present circumstances to give much attention to ecclesiastical questions, and to pass over many subjects of practical interest and importance, usually embraced in the annual address of the united pastorate to the beloved people of our charge, we do not overlook the great spiritual and evangelical aspects of our work. Effective organization and abundant resources are all insufficient without personal godliness and the accompanying power of the Holy Ghost ; " Not by might, nor by power, but by My spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts." « From different parts of our Conference field we have been gladdened by tidings of revival power and blessing ; and by larger accessions to the membership of the Church. The increase reported is l,6o0, with overj three thousand persons on trial for membership. To God| be all the glory. The past is richly fraught with en couragement for the future. With renewed strengt and higher resolve, we go forth in the prosecution of ou great mission. " Thanks be unto God who alway causeth us to triumph."

It was highly gratifying to us to find, both from the language of your Address, and the oral testi- monies of Dr. {Stewart and Dr. Pickard, that the good hand of our God was still upon you for good in the prosecution of those hallowed labours to which you have devoted your lives. In this you will readily dis- cern proof of the Divine faithfulness. Ever mindful of his word, the great head of the church sustains his servants in their arduous toil by supplies of His Holy Spirit. We joy with you in reviewing the tokens of pros- perity with which the Holy Spirit has gladdened your societies and missions during the year, especially that most grateful sign of the Divine favour, the accession of many new-born souls to the church. We earnestly pray that in the anxious work of preserving the sheep you have gathered, you may be able so to watch over them that not one may escape from the fold. If these new converts hold fast their confidence, you will, in future days, gather from their ranks a supply of faith- ful labourers whose charge it shall be to carry on thci work now entrusted to your own hands. Be assured^ also that we account any occasion for praise to ourl Eedeemer which may be given to you, an opportunity! field granted to ourselves of joining with you in the Apos-IMaca tolic Doxology, " Now, thanks be unto God who alway;- inen causeth us to triumph in Christ, and maketh manifest the savour of His knowledge by us in every place."

Perishing souls demand our sympathy and help, and, by God's grace, the demauil -thall not be made in vain. An influential Committee of this Conference has given to your proposal for union with the Canadian Conference its most careful consideration. We have full confidence that this most important measure will , issue in the much wider extension of the work of God among you ; inasmuch as it will enable you to meet the forces of evil against the truth as it is in Jesus with an united army of faithful men. The fulfilment of your hopes concerning it may be looked upon as certain, for " the battle is the Lord's.'' We have agreed to certain resolutions relating to the proposed Union which, we trust, will enable you and the Canada Conference to adopt such measures as, by the Divine blessing, may conduce to the growth, conso- lidation and increase of Methodism in the extensive regions within which the proposed Union will c&rry forward its operations. ». .

We ask and shall ever feel ourselves highly favor- ed to be remembered by you in your entreaties at the throne of grace. Bear us up fathers and brethren before the mercy seat of God in the effectual fervent praj^er that availeth much, that we may be fitted for the duties and respcnsibilities that lie before us in the future. Signed on behalf and by order of the Conference. John McMurray, President. Jame3 Taylor, Secretary, Charlottetown, P. E.

You will be glad to know that in all thinors per- taining to the temporalities of the Churrh, we are, by the blessing of God, in the enjoyment of abun- dant prosperity. During the past year many new churches, most of them of a fine style of architec- ture, have been opened for Divine worship. The income of the Misj^ionary Society, of the Superanu- aiion and other Funds, exhibit a gratifying increase, and our people are more than ever impressed with the importance of increased ministerial support, re- cognizing the value of that Scriptural maxim '* The labouirer is worthy of his hire." Neither are we untrue to the traditional character of Wesley an Methodism, in providing for the educa- tion of our j^oung people upon Christian principles. The Wesleyan Female College at Hamilton continues to enjoy a large share of public patronage. During the past year a Collegiate Institute at Dundas, in the West, another at Stanstead, in the Enst, and yet another at Winnipeg, in the Far West, have been opened under the most encouraging auspices ; and at this Conference arrangements have, been made for the establishment of a second Female College at Whitby, Ontario. We are happy also to know that, with the payment of the amount now subscribed to the Endowment Fund of Victoria College, the En- dowment itself will be an accomplished fact. Nor have we had to mourn over the absence of S[jiritual power, without which sinners cannot be converted to God. But while your hearts have been gladdened by the presence of revival influence in diflerent parts of \our widely extended field of hon- ourable toil, we too have cause for adoiinjz gratitude and lUanklulnesB to the Great Head of the Church, i'li Ik 1874] EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 163 cter uca- ples. nues ring the yet been id at for e at bat, dto En- Ice of ]t be Ibecn Ice in bon- litude luicb, for the out-pourings of the spirit and the ingathering of many souls, enabling us to report an increase in our membership of more than three thousand. Cheering intelligence too has reached us from Japan, our far distant mission station. Already have the hearts of our missionaries been cheered by the conversion of two precious souls — the first fruits of what we trust will be a glorious harvest; whde in the Providence of God, the way has opened for the preaching of Christ in the interior of the country, and in the very centre of superstition and idolatry, where the Gospel was never preached before. Surely the language of the blessed Saviour is applicable to this distant field of labour, *' The fields are white unto the harvest." We cheerfully consent to the transfer of the Rev. John Burwash, M.A., to your ministerial ranks, with a view to his employment in your Institution at Sack- ville, where he has so successfully laboured in the past. And now in the closer relationship we sustain, bearing each other^s sorrows and sharing each other's triumphs, we have great joy and consolation in your love, anii entreat the co-operation of your prayers, that the enlarged copious out-pouring of the Holy Ghost may descend and rest upon the united Metho- dist Church of this Dominion, hallowing all our or- dinances, fertilizing and giuddening every field of labour, and cheering the hearts of His servants by the salvation ol thousands and tens of thousands of souls. Signed by order and on behalf of the Conference of the Wesieyan Methodist Church in Canada. Edward B.

We have rejoiced with you, in the greatness of your work, in its territorial expansion, its ii;5».terial development, in the milli^ms comprising your con- gregations, but above all, in the va^^t number of precious souls gath**red to Christ and worsnipping ai your aitais. We have a Conference of two hun- dre<» and five ministers, with a membership of twenty one thuusaad, including probationers, while our min- [1874 1874] EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 107 :paoA, £ lates, te your ktly Vioa- ) distia- ni as the \ States, ev.

Nearly twenty-four thousand of our youth are under instruction in our Sabbath Schools. In this work neither tlie moral destitution in our own lands, nor the call from foreign climes, has been disregarded. As an evidor»ce of this we point to c>ur missionar}' income of twenty-two thousand dollars, being an avera^>e contribution to this purpose of more than one dollar per m« mber. Toward theso spiritual and material results the success of the past year has largely contributed. Tlie higher educational interests of our country have also enlisted our attention and found enlight- ened expressicm in the Institutions we have estab- lished for a complete acadeuiic, collegiate and Theo- logical course of l raining. This most important department is entrusted to gentlemen whose high Christian character, scholarly attainments, and pro- gressive policy, commend them to our fullest confi- dence. Before this shall have reached yon, our present ecclesiastical organization will have united with the Canada Conference, in forming the Wesl yan Me- thodist C hurch of Canada, the area of which will compiise the entire British possessions in America The Church thus constituted will, in its numerical strength and general resources, rank among the very fiisi in our Dominion. The triumphs of high international arbitration, which has at once satisfactorily adjusted intricate questioi's pending between our two great countries, and given to tlie world an illustrious precedent, is our common pride and pledge of perpetual amity. Hencefoith we anticipate only a glorious emulation in the divine mission of nations. R(»joicing greatly in the unprecedented success with which the great Head cf the Church has « 168 MINUTES OF CONrSRENCE OF [18U crowned the wise administration and interesting de- votedness of your EpiHcopute and pastorate, we unite in praying that the Ood of all grace may prosper you yet more and more in your manifold undertakings to evangelize the many millions of your own vast territory and to carry the Gospel to the regions beyond.
