 Q. IV. What Preachers have died since the last 
 Conference ? 
 
 A. 1. In Great Britain, the thirty following: — 
 (1.) Robert Humphreys ; who was born at Llan- 
 elidan, in Denbighshire, in the year 1779, and was 
 
among the first-fruits of Wesleyan Missionary labour 
 in that neighbourhood. Soon after he was brought to 
 the knowledge of the truth, he began to officiate as a 
 Local Preacher ; and in the year 1805 was called into 
 our itinerant ministry, in which it may be truly said 
 that he engaged with an ardent desire to spend and 
 be spent in his great Master's service. For the period 
 of twenty-seven years he laboured with unabated 
 zeal and faithfulness, and in many places was made 
 instrumental in the conversion of sinners. He pos- 
 sessed a good understanding, extensive informa- 
 tion, and invincible courage in the service of his 
 Lord. He was a bold reprover of sin ; and in all 
 places endeavoured faithfully to maintain the dis- 
 cipline, as well as to defend the doctrines, of our Con- 
 nexion. In his zealous endeavours he was prodigal 
 of strength ; and his exertions no doubt had the effect 
 of considerably impairing his naturally very strong 
 constitution. At the Conference of 1832 he was 
 appointed to the Beaumaris Circuit, where he arrived 
 on the evening of Saturday, the 18th of August. On 
 Sunday he preached with much acceptance to crowded 
 congregations ; and again on Monday evening, from 
 that passage, u Yea, though I walk through the 
 valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil." 
 On the following morning, at nine o'clock, he was 
 seized with cholera, and his case was pronounced to be 
 of the worst kind. Immediately on his being attacked 
 an extraordinary prostration of strength took place, 
 so that he was able to speak but little. He re- 
 marked, however, to his deeply-afflicted wife, " I am 
 not afraid to walk through the valley." At seven the 
 same evening, August 21st, he died, aged fifty-three 
 years. 
 
 (2.) Owen Rees, a native of South Wales. He 
 travelled for some years acceptably and usefully in the 
 Principality, preaching in the Welsh language. He 
 was afterwards stationed at Gibraltar ; and then 
 labou»ed in several English Circuits, until declining 
 
health obliged him to become a Supernumerary. A 
 short time before his death, he said, in answer to a 
 question from a friend, " All is well." He died 
 August 22d, 1832, in the forty-fourth year of his age, 
 and twenty-fourth of his ministry. 
 
 (3.) Adam Clarke, LL.D. This great man, and 
 valuable Minister of Christ, was born near Coleraine 
 in Ireland, about the year 1762. In early life he 
 gave striking indications of a mind possessed at once 
 of extraordinary powers, and of an ardent thirst for 
 knowledge ; and under the instructions of his father, 
 a teacher of youth, commenced those studies which 
 he prosecuted with such eminent success through 
 every period of his subsequent life ; and which he 
 employed so nobly and usefully in the illustration and 
 enforcement of evangelical truth. His conversion, 
 which took place about the sixteenth year of his age, 
 was remarkably clear and sound ; accompanied w ith 
 the deepest feeling, first of contrition, and then of 
 44 peace and joy through believing ;" with an entire 
 change of heart ; and with the most decided resolution 
 to devote his whole soul to the service of God. Having 
 spent a short time at Kingswood-School, he was called 
 out by Mr. Wesley, in the year 1782, as an itinerant 
 Preacher in the Methodist Connexion ; and soon justi- 
 fied the opinion formed concerning him by that ad- 
 mirable judge of character, who hesitated not to 
 affirm, u Adam Clarke is doubtless an extraordinary 
 young man, and capable of doing much good." For 
 nearly half a century did he continue to perform the 
 most important labours as the servant of God and of 
 mankind, in various departments of the vineyard of 
 the church, with great integrity, and with an industry 
 which perhaps has never been surpassed. The natural 
 strength of his mind, and the range of his literary 
 and biblical acquirements, were, in the opinion of com- 
 petent judges, far beyond the common standard, even 
 of those who have attained considerable rank among 
 men of learning and research. Without at all pre- 
 
 
9 
 
 suming that he was wholly free from defects, either as 
 a man, a Preacher, or a writer, we may yet safely 
 place him, in all these characters, among the great 
 men of his age. He was highly distinguished by his ex- 
 traordinary attainments in oriental literature, which 
 appears to have been one of the most favourite studies 
 of his life, and by means of which he has often shed a 
 new and profitable light upon the sacred text. Of 
 his writings in general it may be confidently said, 
 they have added largely to the valuable literary and 
 biblical stores of the country. The ability and fer- 
 vent zeal with which for so many years he preached 
 the Gospel of the grace of God to enraptured thou- 
 sands, in almost every part of the United Kingdom, 
 will long be remembered with the liveliest gratitude 
 to their Divine Redeemer, by multitudes to whom his 
 labours were greatly blessed, both as the means of 
 their conversion, and of their general edification. No 
 man in any age of the church was ever known for so 
 long a period to have attracted larger audiences ; no 
 herald of salvation ever sounded forth his message 
 with greater faithfulness or fervour, — the fervour of 
 love to Christ, and to the souls of perishing sinners ; 
 and few Ministers of the Gospel, in modern times, have 
 been more honoured by the extraordinary unction of 
 the Holy Spirit in their ministrations. To this unc- 
 tion chiefly, though associated with uncommon talents, 
 must be attributed the wonderful success and popu- 
 larity of his discourses. In preaching he had the 
 happy art of combining great originality and depth of 
 subject, with the utmost plainness of speech and man- 
 ner. Nor was this simplicity at all destroyed, but 
 rather augmented, by the glow and animation of his 
 soul when applying the offer of salvation to all within 
 the sound of his voice, and reasoning strongly on the 
 grand and vital doctrines of the Gospel. The ardent 
 feeling which in others sometimes leads to a rapid in- 
 vention of elegant or of pompous language, in him was 
 confined to the increased accumulation of great and 
 noble sentiments. His favourite and most successful 
 subjects in the pulpit were the love of God to fallen 
 A 5 
 
10 
 
 man, the atonement, repentance, faith in Christ as the 
 grand principle of the spiritual life and of practical 
 holiness, together with the undoubted assurance of 
 adoption by the direct witness of the Holy Spirit in 
 the heart of the believer. On these subjects he would 
 often rise to the genuine grandeur of evangelical 
 preaching, pouring forth like a torrent the unostenta- 
 tious eloquence of a benevolent and loving heart. 
 Energy indeed was one very peculiar characteristic of 
 his mind. Nor was he less remarkable for sensibility, 
 and all the tenderness and sympathy of an affectionate 
 disposition. He could be " gentle, even as a nurse 
 cherisheth her children ; " yet when environed with 
 great difficulties in the prosecution of his noble ob- 
 jects, he seemed, from the extraordinary vigour and 
 determined purpose of his soul, to conquer them with 
 ease. His moral character was above all suspicion, 
 and above all praise. In this particular, no cloud, no 
 speck was ever seen to darken the horizon of his life. 
 In prayer he was simple, spiritual, devout, and some- 
 times singularly ardent. His piety was sincere, and 
 deep, and eminently practical ; the very reverse of 
 that sensitive, but unsound feeling, which loves to 
 flourish on the subject of experience, but serves not 
 God in a conscientious obedience to all the precepts 
 of his Gospel. He was almost a perfect model of 
 diligence in duty. The ingenuity and energy with 
 which he husbanded his time, and carried forward the 
 arduous plans of usefulness in which he was constantly 
 employed, form one of the most distinguished fea- 
 tures of his admirable character. He was a warm- 
 hearted, faithful, affectionate, and constant friend. 
 And in all the relations of domestic life, as a husband, 
 a father, and a master, he was true to the duties 
 which belong to them, — most indulgent, kind, and 
 sympathizing ; always happy in the bosom of his 
 family, and always labouring, by every art in his 
 power, to make them also happy. He was uniformly 
 a firm, attached, and zealous INlethodist ; and in pro- 
 moting the interests of our great cause, he may be 
 said to have been "in labours more abundant." This 
 
11 
 
 love to the body, and the great public interests of 
 Methodism, was never more delightfully evinced than 
 at the last Conference, when, but a very few weeks 
 before his lamented dissolution, he mingled with his 
 brethren in the most affectionate manner, and very 
 cordially assisted in despatching the business of that 
 important assembly; and, writing to a friend on this 
 subject, he exclaims, in the pious satisfaction of his 
 soul, "We have had a glorious Conference !" We 
 may just add, that he had been thrice chosen to fill 
 the situation of President of the Conference. He 
 died suddenly of cholera morbus in the vicinity of 
 London, on the 26th of August, 1832, in the seventy- 
 second year of his age. On the day of his death, 
 when first seized, and entering on his sufferings, with 
 painful suspense' as to the result of them, he was 
 exhorted by a friend to put his trust in Christ. He 
 replied, with a point and promptness peculiar to him- 
 self, "I have done that already;" leaving in these, 
 which may be deemed his last words, a sublime lesson 
 to the mortal survivors who might afterwards reflect 
 upon his life and death, that they also should, by 
 early, decided, and persevering piety, be found ready 
 when their Lord should call. 
 
 (4.) Thomas Cooper. In early life he was brought 
 to the knowledge of the u truth as it is in Jesus," 
 and commenced his itinerant career in the year 1781, 
 in which he continued, with but little intermission, 
 until the year 1821, when, through the infirmities 
 incident to old age, he became a Supernumerary. He 
 was a man of sound sense, and of more than ordinary 
 ministerial talent ; so that his labours were not only 
 acceptable, but popular and useful. During the last 
 ten years of Ids life, he suffered under such bodily 
 and mental affliction as rendered him incapable of 
 taking part in any regular conversation on general 
 topics. Nevertheless, when the leading truths of 
 evangelical religion were introduced, his attention was 
 immediately aroused, and his heart was powerfully 
 and delightfully affected, by a sense of their reality 
 
12 
 
 and value. He died in great peace, September 30th, 
 1832, aged seventy-two years. 
 
 (5.) John Hodson ; who was born at Seighford. 
 near Stafford, in the year 1765. In the days of his 
 youth the Spirit of God strove with him, and he was 
 occasionally impressed with serious thoughts concern- 
 ing his immortal interests; but it was not until he 
 was nearly twenty-six years of age that he became 
 fully decided, and chose the Lord for his God. After 
 having been a member of the Methodist Society 
 six years, and a Leader and Local Preacher a 
 considerable part of that time, he was, at the Con- 
 ference of 1797, appointed to labour, in the word 
 and doctrine, as an itinerant Preacher. He travelled 
 thirty-five years with an unblemished character : his 
 judgment was sound and correct ; his deportment 
 sober and serious; and his habits punctual and or- 
 derly. Pie loved the doctrines, and maintained the 
 discipline, of Methodism. His talents as a Preacher 
 were not of the most attractive kind, yet they were 
 such as to render him generally acceptable. At the 
 Conference of 1831 he was appointed to the Shaftes- 
 bury Circuit. Here his constitution received a severe 
 shock, in consequence of his walking a considerable 
 distance in the cold night-air, after preaching to a 
 very crowded congregation. He was taken ill the 
 same night, and preached only three times afterwards. 
 He bore his affliction with much Christian patience, 
 and conversed in an animated and edifying manner on 
 the happy state of his mind, and his prospect of 
 future glory. He died in the Lord, at Shaftesbury, 
 October 8th, 1832, in the sixty-seventh year of his 
 age. 
 
 (G.) Thomas Stanley, the son of Edward Stanley, 
 who was a Local Preacher upwards of sixty years. 
 He had the advantage of a religious education, en- 
 forced by the example of his pious parents. At an 
 early period of life he was soundly converted to 
 
13 
 
 God. He entered upon our itinerant ministry in the 
 year 1795, and continued in the work until called to 
 his reward in the thirty-eighth year of his itinerancy. 
 He was a man of strict integrity and genuine piety. 
 Those who knew him best esteemed him most. He 
 had a strong mind, improved by reading and deep 
 thinking. His habitual temper was amiable and ob- 
 liging; and when circumstances, in the discharge of 
 his duty, required it, forbearing; yet faithful in de- 
 livering his testimony against evil. As a Preacher, 
 he was acceptable and useful. His sermons were, in 
 general, short; always judicious. He cared for the 
 tlock committed to his charge ; and on some occa- 
 sions, especially when any thing occurred likely to be 
 injurious to religion, his feelings were too acute for 
 his own comfort. He was a faithful servant of Christ, 
 a kind and affectionate husband, a tender parent, 
 and a steady friend. In various Circuits, God 
 highly honoured him in the conversion of sinners. 
 Towards the close of life, there appeared in him 
 an increasing spirituality of mind, and he fre- 
 quently made observations which indicated a presen- 
 timent that the time of his departure was at hand. 
 He was evidently ripening for glory ; and his sudden 
 removal, though afflictive to surviving friends, was to 
 him like a translation from earth to heaven. He finished 
 his course October 9th, 1832, aged fifty-nine years. 
 
 (7.) Joseph Sanders ; who was a native of Corn- 
 wall. In the year 1799 he was convinced of sin, and 
 in the following year found peace with God. In 
 1808 he was received into our itinerant work, in 
 which he continued to labour with zeal and fidelity 
 more than twenty-four years. His ministry was 
 plain, energetic, and successful. He loved and main- 
 tained the doctrines and discipline of Methodism. 
 His death was sudden. He preached on Wednesday 
 evening, October 10th, JS32 ; at ten o'clock the next 
 morning he was seized with cholera; and died on the 
 evening of the same day, aged fifty years, in great 
 peace, and expressing the firmest confidence in Christ. 
 
14 
 
 He has given evidence of his strong attachment to 
 our Connexion by leaving a legacy of nineteen guineas 
 to each of the following institutions : — the Kingswood 
 and Woodhouse-Grove Schools, the Wesleyan Mis- 
 sionary Society, the Chapel Fund, the Preachers' 
 Annuitant Society, and the Auxiliary Fund. 
 
 (8.) James Penman; who, at an early period of life, 
 was deeply convinced of sin, and savingly brought to 
 the knowledge of God, under the ministry of the late 
 venerable Joseph Taylor. Feeling an earnest desire 
 to call sinners to repentance, he became a Local 
 Preacher, and was soon afterwards called into our 
 ministry. Strongly attached to Methodism, he was 
 faithful, laborious, and useful, in the discharge of 
 his official duties. He often expressed a wish that, 
 if so the Lord should will, he might " cease at 
 once to work and live ;" and his desire was granted. 
 After an illness of a very few days, in which he was 
 most graciously supported, and enabled to exercise an 
 unshaken confidence in his Saviour, he died at Brack- 
 ley, unspeakably happy in God, October 10th, 1832, 
 in the sixty-fourth year of his age, and the thirty- 
 ninth of his ministry. 
 
 (9.) Richard Ellidge ; who was converted to 
 God in early life, and entered on our itinerant work 
 in the year 1813. He travelled among us with an 
 unblemished character ; was a diligent, faithful, and 
 useful Preacher ; very affectionate in his disposition, 
 and greatly beloved by his colleagues, and the people 
 amongst whom he laboured. He was cut off by the 
 cholera in the midst of his days; and died happy in 
 God, October 26th, 1832. 
 
 (10.) John James, a native of Liverpool ; in which 
 town he was early led by his mother to the Methodist 
 chapel, where he heard, and cordially embraced, the 
 word of life, which was made the instrumentof his sal- 
 vation. He was distinguished through life by steady 
 and fervent piety, and inflexible integrity, united to 
 
15 
 
 great affability, cheerfulness, and generosity. As a 
 Preacher, he was at once eloquent, sound, ardent, 
 and exceedingly useful. During the last live years 
 of his life he filled the office of Missionary Secretary, 
 in which he displayed great promptitude, correctness, 
 fidelity, and affection ; and his services in that im- 
 portant and responsible situation were of eminent 
 value. Under his indefatigable, incessant, and severe 
 though happy toil, his constitution, naturally good, 
 gave way : and after a repetition of alarming symp- 
 toms, he died suddenly, on the 6th of November, 1832, 
 in the forty-seventh year of his age, and the twenty- 
 sixth of his ministry. 
 
 (11.) George Whitfield, aged seventy-nine. For 
 some years he travelled with Mr. Wesley as his compa- 
 nion ; after which he filled, for a considerable period, 
 the office of Book-Steward. The last twenty years 
 of his life he resided at Tottenham, near London ; where, 
 by his upright and uniform conduct, and his efforts to 
 do good, he acquired the respect of all classes. His 
 preaching was characterized by great simplicity and 
 affection, and tended to the edification of those who 
 knew God, and the encouragement of those who 
 were seeking salvation. His last illness was long 
 and painful ; but it appeared to those about him, 
 and to his Christian friends in general, that it was 
 graciously instrumental in making him u meet for the 
 inheritance of the saints in light." He died in peace, 
 December 24th, 1832. 
 
 (12.) Edward Norwood ; who commenced his 
 itinerant labours in the year 1823. He was a young 
 man of sincere and ardent piety, amiable in his temper, 
 and faithful as a labourer in the Lord's vineyard. In 
 the spring cf 1831 his health began to decline, and 
 at the following Conference he became a Supernume- 
 rary. His complaint was a lingering consumption ; in 
 the course of which he was confined to his bed about 
 seven weeks. He manifested, during his illness, great 
 Christian meekness, and resignation to the divine will ; 
 
16 
 
 and died in peace at Mansfield, on the 29th of De- 
 cember, 1832, in the thirty-sixth year of his age. 
 
 (13.) Joseph Brown, in the thirtieth year of his 
 age, and the fifth of his ministry. He was converted 
 to God when about twenty years of age, and soon after- 
 wards became an active and zealous Local Preacher. 
 He entered into our itinerant work in the year 1S28, 
 and laboured acceptably and usefully in the Circuits to 
 which he was appointed. He well understood the 
 doctrines of Methodism, and faithfully preached them. 
 He was a young man of studious habits, of modest and 
 unassuming manners, and of genuine piety. In his 
 affliction he manifested great patience, and cheerfully 
 resigned himself to the divine will. On the day be- 
 fore his death, he said, u I have not for a moment 
 doubted the continued favour and presence of God 
 throughout my affliction ; " and on the day of his 
 death he exclaimed, U I am comfortable every way: 
 praise the Lord!" In this happy state of mind he 
 entered into the joy of his Lord, December 31st, 
 1832. 
 
 (14.) Richard Watson. One of the most pain- 
 ful bereavements which any Christian church ever 
 suffered, our Connexion has sustained in the loss of 
 this distinguished man, and eminent servant of Jesus 
 Christ. In him were united intellectual powers which 
 are seldom found combined in the same person, and 
 never but in minds of the first order. With great 
 liveliness and brilliancy of imagination, he possessed a 
 judgment uncommonly sound and discriminating. To 
 his understanding belonged a capacity which the 
 greatness of a subject could not exceed ; a strength 
 and clearness which the number and complexity of its 
 parts could not confuse ; and a vigour which the 
 difficulty and length of an inquiry could not weary. 
 These faculties were early awakened into action ; and 
 their first indication produced an impression on the 
 minds of his friends, that the Head of the Church 
 
17 
 
 designed him for the Christian ministry. He began 
 to preach at an early period of life ; but not before 
 he had been deeply convinced of his personal sinful- 
 ness and danger, and sought and found peace to his 
 soul through faith in Christ, — nor before he had 
 experienced a scriptural conversion to God. Not 
 long after this memorable change, he was called into 
 the itinerant ministry : in which he laboured with great 
 zeal and promise of future eminence for upwards of 
 four years. It is not surprising that a mind like his, 
 conscious of its powers, should in some of its early 
 motions have been irregular. But though for a few 
 years withdrawn from our body, and a Minister in 
 another community, yet he did not renounce those vital 
 doctrines which he first received: his heart held his 
 understanding to the truth; and in 1812 he returned to 
 our Connexion with a mind greatly enlarged, and en- 
 riched with a considerable store of various knowledge, 
 and with his spirit much improved in Christian piety. 
 On recommencing his ministry among us, his powers 
 appeared to acquire new vigour; and in their full ener- 
 gy he devoted them all to the service of mankind. His 
 great abilities first excited general attention by the part 
 which he took in promoting the Missionary cause ; and 
 his sermons and speeches for that purpose, with his ser- 
 mons on other particular occasions, may be ranked 
 with the most splendid that ever mind conceived or 
 tongue uttered. His regular ministry in a Circuit, 
 though adapted to more ordinary use, was not infe- 
 rior to his occasional efforts. There was in him a 
 rich fulness of evangelical truth; he arranged it with 
 uncommon readiness; and he dispensed it with a 
 liberality which never feared exhaustion : whilst his 
 extensive acquaintance with ancient learning and modern 
 science, and his susceptibility of impression from the 
 scenes of nature, enabled him to illustrate and adorn 
 his preaching with singular felicity. To the reason- 
 ing powers and habits of a philosopher, he united the 
 imagination of a poet ; the most familiar topics of 
 Christkm theology appeared with new beauty and 
 force when set in the light of his genius ; — he touched 
 
18 
 
 every thing with the hand of a master. His element 
 was the lofty and the vast ; his -conceptions naturally 
 rose into sublimity, and expanded into grandeur; yet 
 there was nothing left vague and indefinite, for he 
 could with ease adapt them to the humblest under- 
 standing, and concentrate them into sentiments and 
 maxims of the most beautiful and impressive wisdom. 
 Persons of the highest rank for intellectual power, in 
 listening to his discourses, have rejoiced to feel and 
 own the deep and powerful sway which he exerted 
 over them ; whilst the poor and the unlettered hung 
 with absorbed attention on all that fell from his lips. 
 As a Preacher, it was his highest praise that the sub- 
 jects on which he usually chose to exert his powers 
 were the truths by the ministry of which from age to 
 age the dead in sin have been quickened into spiritual 
 life, and Christ exhibited in his fulness of grace as the 
 Almighty Saviour of all who seek his help. To the 
 church of God his preaching was eminently useful, — 
 hallowing, and elevating the soul to heaven. He pos- 
 sessed a remarkable readiness in composition, and his 
 pen was often employed in the service of truth. He 
 wrote to defend our Missions, when aspersed in the 
 legislature of the country ; to justify the true princi- 
 ples of scripture interpretation, and establish the doc- 
 trines of Methodism, when popular writings were tend- 
 ing to compromise those principles and unsettle our 
 faith ; he wrote to instruct the young, and to assist men 
 of riper age and maturer mind in their searches after 
 Scriptural knowledge : and his writings will be ad- 
 mired for implicit deference to the authority of the 
 Scriptures, for clearness and soundness of theological 
 reasoning and opinion, and beauty of expression, 
 as long as the truth is held in estimation amongst men. 
 In his writings, as in his preaching, utility was his 
 aim; and no man could form a wiser judgment of what 
 was useful. Though honoured of late years as one of 
 the first intellectual men of his day, this produced no 
 elation of heart ; he regarded his talents and his time 
 as given him in trust, and his exalted purpose was to 
 gain the approbation of his divine Master. The deep 
 
19 
 
 sense which he felt of his responsibility to God, whilst 
 it humbled, strongly stimulated his mind ; so that in* 
 the absence of health, and frequently in suffering, 
 to the last he held on his course without faltering. As 
 life advanced, his piety became more elevated; the 
 improvement of his moral frame engaged his utmost 
 attention. He habitually preserved on his mind a 
 devout sense of God : when he spoke of him or 
 worshipped him, he was full of holy veneration ; and 
 his prayers, both in the congregation and with his 
 friends, showed the full permission of approach to 
 God which he enjoyed, and with what reverent bold- 
 ness he availed himself of his privilege. He was emi- 
 nently spiritually minded ; and for some time before his 
 death he exhibited the fruits of the Spirit in full ma- 
 turity. In his last affliction he was greatly honoured of 
 God; and perhaps the closing scene of no saint's life ever 
 furnished lessons of richer instruction. On the ap- 
 proach of death, he viewed it as a foe, and felt it to be 
 an evil ; he was humbled that man should be stricken 
 and trampled into the grave by the last enemy, and 
 when, as in his own case, his faculties were in their 
 prime, and his mind meditating and revolving plans 
 of usefulness to the world : it was the glorious hope 
 and Christian assurance of perfect bliss after death, 
 and beyond the grave, that enabled him to triumph ; 
 and his triumph was complete. Through the grace of 
 his Divine Saviour, with his characteristic strength of 
 mind he firmly grasped and applied his Christian prin- 
 ciples; and they sustained his faith in his walk through 
 " the valley of the shadow of death. " "I am a poor 
 vile worm," said he ; " but then the worm is permitted 
 to crawl out of the earth into the garden of the 
 Lord.*** 
 
 1 I shall behold bis face, 
 I shall bis power adore ; 
 And sing the wonders of his grace, 
 For evermore.' " 
 
 Thus confident, he waited until his Master's call spoke 
 him up to heaven. As a man, he was of a truly noble 
 mind; superior through life to every thing mean and 
 
20 
 
 little; he was magnanimous, disinterested, generous. 
 His form was dignified, and his countenance bore 
 striking expressions of his intellectual greatness. His 
 elevated views and the majesty of his character im- 
 pressed a dignity on his manners, which the kindness 
 of his temper, and his general readiness to oblige, ren- 
 dered particularly easy and graceful. As a friend, he 
 extorted no servile homage as the price of his friend- 
 ship : if there were times when he was too much en- 
 gaged in thought to exhibit more than common fervour 
 of affection, there were others, which occurred far 
 more frequently, when he gave himself freely to his 
 friends, and then his conversation never failed to in- 
 struct and charm. This bright luminary of the church 
 and of his circle set in death, to rise in eternal glory, 
 January 8th, 1833. He died in the fifty-second year 
 of his age. 
 
 (15.) Robert Crowther, a native of Yorkshire. 
 He was powerfully awakened to a sense of his lost 
 condition through the instrumentality of a sermon 
 preached by Dr. Coke; and in seeking the Lord with 
 his whole heart, became the subject of a sound con- 
 version. He entered upon the work of the ministry 
 with many fears, though in obedience to the call of 
 God and his church, and with an earnest solicitude for 
 the salvation of a perishing world. He commenced 
 his itinerancy in the year 1789, in the Norwich Cir- 
 cuit, and continued his active labours in the church 
 for the space of forty-one years ; when, by the neces- 
 sity of age and infirmities, he became a Supernumerary 
 in the year 1830. lie was a man of an unblemished 
 character, a great lover of the Methodist doctrines and 
 discipline, and a successful Minister of Jesus Christ. 
 It was not long after he ceased from the active duties 
 of the ministry, that he became the subject of repeated 
 attacks of paralysis, which considerably impaired his 
 powers both of body and mind ; but in ii patience he 
 possessed his soul," and murmured not at the u chas- 
 tening of the Lord." On some occasions, he was 
 enabled to converse freely and cheerfully concerning 
 
21 
 
 the things of God. Some of his last words were, 
 " Tell my brethren in the ministry that I die in the 
 cordial belief of those doctrines which I have preached 
 for the last forty years, and that I hope to meet them 
 all in heaven." He died at Rochdale, January 19th, 
 1833, in the seventieth year of his age. 
 
 (16.) Francis Truscott. He died at Plymouth, 
 February 17th, 1833; and had travelled forty-four years 
 in the Methodist Connexion, when he finished his earthly 
 course. He was a man of uniform and deep piety, 
 clear doctrinal views, solid judgment, most respectable 
 pulpit talents, and an undeviating integrity. No man 
 ever maintained a more unblemished deportment 
 through life, or exhibited more amiable and engaging 
 manners ; in consequence of which he was universally 
 beloved, and died deeply lamented by all who knew 
 him, especially by his most intimate friends and re- 
 latives ; but, as he died in the triumph of faith, their 
 loss is his eternal gain. 
 
 (17.) Roeert Martin, in the fifty-second year of 
 his age, and the twenty-ninth of his itinerancy. He Mas 
 a native of Ireland ; and, at an early period of life, the 
 admonitions and example of a pious father appear to 
 have produced, under the influence of the Holy Spirit, 
 those serious reflections which led him to seek the 
 forgiveness of sins through faith in the Lord Jesus 
 Christ, — and he soon obtained the witness of his accept- 
 ance with God. After some time, his religious expe- 
 rience appears to have been subject to fluctuation until 
 the age of fourteen ; when he devoted himself afresh to 
 God, and thenceforward professed to walk in the light 
 of his countenance. By the British Conference of 1 804 
 he was appointed to a Circuit ; and from that period he 
 laboured in our Connexion with acceptance and use- 
 fulness. His views of the doctrines of Methodism 
 were clear and comprehensive ; and his intimate ac- 
 quaintance with our discipline was blended with self- 
 command, fidelity, and affection in its enforcement. 
 
22 
 
 In the social circle, he was unassuming, kind, com- 
 municative ; and as a husband and father, rarely sur- 
 passed. He was divinely supported in his heavy 
 affliction ; and when all hope of his recovery was gone, 
 his confidence in God, through Jesus Christ, remained 
 unshaken. He died at Portsea, March 1st, 1833. 
 
 (18.) John Hudson, Supernumerary in the New- 
 castle-upon-Tyne Circuit. He was a man of peace, 
 and great simplicity ; and during the short time of his 
 itinerancy was made a blessing to many. He died 
 happy in God, on the 29th of March, 1833, in the 
 eightieth year of his age. 
 
 (19.) John C. Leppington. During the last two 
 years of his life, those who had the best opportunity of 
 observing him perceived in him an increase of mildness 
 and brotherly kindness. In his last illness, his most 
 frequent expression was, u I am rejoicing in hope of 
 the glory of God." He died April 3d, 1833. 
 
 (20.) William Sutcliffe, a native of York- 
 shire. In the year 1804 he was sent as a Missionary 
 to Nova-Scotia j in which country, Bermuda, and 
 Canada, he exercised his ministry for fourteen years, 
 and endured many privations and hardships. He 
 returned under circumstances of disadvantage, appa- 
 rently arising from imbecility of mind. In 1825 he 
 was made a Supernumerary, and resided nearly seven 
 years in Manchester. As a Class-Leader, he diligently 
 visited the sick, and, according to his ability, re- 
 lieved the poor. He appears to have been very 
 cautious not to speak evil of the absent. He 
 generally expressed himself as enjoying the divine 
 favour, but as needing a greater degree of divine love. 
 The death of Mrs. Sutcliffe, which occurred on April 
 4th, exceedingly affected him. He prayed that the Lord 
 would support him, and added, " Thou hast promised : 
 and I claim thy promise." The same evening, a 
 
23 
 
 disease similar to that of which his wife had died, seized 
 him. His suffering was great, but he endured it pa- 
 tiently. He died April 8th, 1833, in the sixty-first 
 year of his age, and the twenty-ninth of his ministry. 
 
 (21.) Thomas Bellows ; a young man of deep 
 piety, and good ministerial abilities. After a long 
 and painful affliction, which he bore with great pa- 
 tience and submission to the divine will, and in which 
 he enjoyed much peace and close fellowship with God, 
 he died, April 16th, 1833, in the twenty-fourth year 
 of his age, and the first of his ministry. 
 
 (22.) John Slack ; who was born at Belton, near 
 Epworth, in Lincolnshire, December 28th, 1774. At 
 the age of nineteen he was converted to God, and 
 joined the Methodist society. In about two years 
 after his conversion, he began to preach ; and at the 
 Conference of 1799, commenced his itinerant labours, 
 which he prosecuted with great acceptance, zeal, and 
 fidelity, until February last, when he had a sud- 
 den attack of paralysis, which laid him aside from 
 all public duty. On April 27th, 1833, he was 
 seized with apoplexy, which rendered him totally 
 insensible; and in the afternoon of the following 
 day he u entered into the joy of his Lord." 
 During his affliction he was kept in peace ; and, 
 although occasionally much depressed, he uniformly 
 manifested a spirit of resignation to the will of God. 
 He possessed a vigorous understanding, a strong and 
 retentive memory, and a mind well stored with theo- 
 logical truth, which had been carefully drawn from 
 the purest sources. His habits were studious to 
 the last ; his public discourses evinced much origi- 
 nality of thought, and were delivered in a plain, 
 pointed, and striking style. His disposition was 
 kind, and his manners unassuming. He was firmly 
 attache^! to our doctrines and discipline, and strongly 
 opposed to faction. He was very orderly in all 
 his Circuit engagements, a most excellent and 
 
24 
 
 agreeable colleague, and deservedly respected by the 
 people amongst whom he laboured. 
 
 (23.) Philip Rawlins, in the Rochester Circuit, 
 aged seventy-eight. He was received into the Me- 
 thodist society in early life by the Rev. John Wesley ; 
 and for many years was a respectable tradesman, and 
 useful Local Preacher, in London. In the year 1803 
 he entered on the arduous duties of an itinerant 
 Preacher; and in those duties laboured diligently and 
 faithfully twenty-one years; and then, through grow- 
 ing infirmities, became a Supernumerary. His last 
 days were afflictive ; but he was patient, and rejoiced 
 in hope of the glory of God. A short time before his 
 death, which was calm and peaceful, he said, 
 
 " Angels beckon me away, 
 And Jesus bids me come." 
 
 His ministerial gifts were useful and acceptable ; his 
 temper and conduct were pious and holy ; and he 
 was generally respected as a Christian, and a faithful 
 Minister of the Gospel. He died May 16th, 1833. 
 
 (24.) Joiix Symons, in the thirty-sixth year of his 
 age, and the ninth of his ministry. He was a sub- 
 ject of serious impressions in early life, and, when 
 about seventeen, was truly converted to God, and 
 became a member of the Methodist society. He was 
 called to the itinerant work in the year 1824; and con- 
 tinued his accustomed labours until the last year, when 
 his constitution began to sink under a pulmonary dis- 
 ease. He was a man of genuine piety, amiable temper, 
 good sense, and irreproachable life ; a faithful and 
 agreeable colleague, and an acceptable and useful 
 Preacher. He was supported during his affliction by 
 a consciousness of his acceptance with God through 
 faith in the atonement of our Lord Jesus Christ ; and 
 died in peace at Torquay, June 5th, 1833. 
 
 (25.) Thomas Laycock, a native of Keighley. 
 
25 
 
 At the age of seventeen years he was awakened to a 
 sense of his guilt and danger ; but, being very imper- 
 fectly acquainted with the plan of salvation, two years 
 elapsed before he obtained the knowledge of sins 
 forgiven. Deeply concerned for the salvation of others, 
 and believing it to be his duty to preach the Gospel, 
 he began, though with much fear, to call sinners to 
 repentance. Being recommended to our itinerant work, 
 he was appointed to the Colne Circuit. After travelling 
 thirty-six years, the infirmities of age compelled him to 
 become a Supernumerary, and he retired to Doncaster, 
 where he died in great peace, June the 8th, 1833. 
 
 (26.) Titus Close ; who was brought to God in the 
 year 1815, and soon began to preach, with zeal and 
 success, that glorious Gospel which had been made the 
 power of God to his own salvation. After labouring 
 some time as a Missionary in Continental India, with 
 prudence and usefulness, he returned to England in a 
 state of ill health. He was exceedingly amiable, cheer- 
 ful, and affectionate, a willing servant of the Lord and 
 of his church. His fidelity and kindness as a Pastor and 
 colleague, and in all the relations of life, together 
 with his piety and usefulness, greatly endeared him to 
 his colleagues and relations, and to those among whom 
 he laboured. That faith in our Lord Jesus Christ 
 which he delighted to preach to others supported 
 him in his last sickness. He died at Croft, near 
 Darlington, on Monday, the 10th of June, 1833, in 
 great peace, giving glory to God, in the thirty-eighth 
 year of his age. 
 
 (27.) George Gellard ; who, having been truly 
 converted to God, entered on the itinerant work in 
 the year 1798. His ministerial talents were accept- 
 able and useful. He possessed an amiable disposition, 
 and was faithful in his friendships. His labours being 
 frequently interrupted by bodily affliction, in the year 
 1821 he became a Supernumerary. He lived in com- 
 munion with God, and died in peace, July 6th, 1833. 
 
 B 
 
26 
 
 (28.) John Nicholson, sen.;- who died July 29th, 
 1833. He was a man of plain manners and laborious 
 habits ; and, as a Preacher, generally acceptable in the 
 Circuits to which he was appointed. He travelled in 
 our Connexion twenty-three years ; and under the 
 sanctified influence of recent domestic afflictions was 
 more fully prepared for his unexpected end. This, 
 to use his own dying expression, V came peacefully 
 upon him;" and he fell quietly asleep in Jesus, 
 experiencing the support of those doctrines which he 
 had successfully preached. 
 
 (29.) Thomas Morgan. He was born in South 
 Wales. Early in life he was converted to God ; and 
 though constitutionally timid and inclined to retire- 
 ment, the love of Christ constrained him to enter on 
 the public ministry, in which he laboured with unwea- 
 ried diligence twenty-five years, — seven years in Eng- 
 land, and eighteen among the enslaved sons of Africa 
 in the West-India islands. He was a man of the 
 strictest integrity, and of upright conduct; kind and 
 affectionate, as a colleague and Superintendent; and as 
 a Chairman of foreign Districts, remarkable for cor- 
 rectness and clearness in his financial accounts, and for 
 economy in his expenditure of the public money. It 
 was in a great degree owing to his cordial co-operation 
 with the Missionary Committee, in their plans of eco- 
 nomy, that they were enabled to enlarge their sphere 
 of usefulness, and increase the number of labourers in 
 that part of the Missionary field. He died suddenly 
 on his journey to the Conference; but his work was 
 finished, his soul was ripe for glory ; and his memory 
 will long be precious to his friends in England, and to 
 the thousands of negroes who wore converted to God, 
 or edified in the faith, by his ministry in the West 
 Indies. 
 
 (30.) Thomas Feaiinley ; who was born at Ashton, 
 in Mackerfield, in the county of Lancaster. From 
 the earliest period of his recollection he was a subject 
 
27 
 
 of strong convictions of sin ; and when he sought and 
 found mercy, his evidence of conversion was as satis- 
 factory as his convictions had been deep and painful ; 
 and every step which he took in the affairs of life, 
 subsequently to this saving change, bore evident 
 marks of its genuineness. He was called into our 
 itinerant work in the year 1799 ; and he prosecuted 
 his ministerial labours with integrity, zeal, acceptance, 
 and, in many instances, with visible success. He was 
 a lover of our doctrines, and judiciously zealous in 
 the maintenance of our discipline. In consequence 
 of a severe cold caught by sleeping in a damp bed, 
 and of the growing infirmities of age, he was com- 
 pelled, in the year 1818, to desist from our regular 
 work, and become a Supernumerary. During the last 
 twelve months of his life, he was principally con- 
 fined to his bed, gradually declining in strength, 
 but invariably retaining a lively sense of the divine 
 presence, and rejoicing in God his Saviour. He died 
 in great peace, at VVigan, August 8th, 1833, in the 
 eighty-second year of his age. 
 
 2. In Ireland, three ; viz., — 
 
 (1.) Robert Bailey, a native of the county of Fer- 
 managh. At an early period he was brought under 
 serious awakenings through the ministry of the Metho- 
 dist Preachers, and sought the Lord while he was 
 yet young. Having felt the power of saving grace in his 
 own heart, he longed to publish the Gospel of that 
 grace to others. In the year 1800 he was regularly 
 called into our itinerant ministry, and for nearly thirty- 
 three years laboured with considerable acceptance and 
 success. He was conscientiously attached to our doc- 
 trine and discipline. His zeal and diligence were 
 equalled only by his faithfulness and perseverance in 
 his hallowed calling. Fifteen years he laboured as 
 an Irish Missionary, and continued in his work until 
 the evening before he died. Some time before his 
 death his mind seemed more than ordinarily im- 
 pressed with divine things ; his conversation was In 
 b2 
 
28 
 
 heaven, and he obviously entertained a presentiment 
 of his dissolution. He was seized by cholera on 
 the 17th of October, 1832, and in fifteen hours 
 closed his mortal career. While the fatal disease 
 rapidly gained upon him, a friend asked him how he 
 was : he replied, " It is all over. O, dying is hard 
 work : but all is well!" He died in the full triumph 
 of faith, on the 18th of October, 1832, in the sixtieth 
 year of his age. 
 
 (2.) Matthew Lanktree, jun.; who, after having 
 travelled seven years, was compelled to retire through 
 ill health : and having suffered much during a pro- 
 tracted affliction, died in peace, February 1st, 1833, 
 aged thirty-two years. 
 
 (3.) James M'Kown ; who died in peace, February 
 3d, 1833, aged sixty-eight years. 
 
 3, In our Foreign Missions, three have died ; viz., — 
 
 (I ) Richard Pope. He was converted to God in 
 early life, and entered on the Missionary work in the 
 year 1816, the active duties of which he continued to 
 discharge with diligence and fidelity for upwards of 
 thirteen years. The extent of his labours, and the ar- 
 dency of his zeal, during the first years of his 
 itinerancy, in a newly settled country, laid the foun- 
 dation of a complaint which ultimately compelled him 
 to become a Supernumerary. In every Circuit in 
 which he laboured, his sincere and fervent piety pro- 
 cured for him the respect and affection of the people ; 
 and God succeeded his endeavours by his effectual 
 blessing. He died in peace, in Quebec, on the 2d of 
 September, 1832. 
 
 (2.) George Newlove. He was a young man of 
 ardent piety, and of promising abilities. He lived only 
 a few weeks after his arrival in Canada, w here he had 
 gained the respect and affection of those with whom 
 he associated. He died of the malignant cholera, ten 
 
29 
 
 hours after the commencement of the attack, in the 
 exercise of faith in tl 
 26th of June, 1832. 
 
 exercise of faith in the merits of his Redeemer, on the 
 
 (3.) Abraham Whitehouse. He was born in 
 Birmingham of pious parents, who were members of 
 our society. In early life he was brought to a know- 
 ledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, and in due time was 
 called to preach to others the unsearchable riches of 
 Christ. After having officiated for some time as a 
 Local Preacher, he commenced his itinerant labours in 
 the year 1812, and during the following year was ap- 
 pointed to a station in the West Indies ; in which inte- 
 resting portion of the Missionary field he laboured 
 with great zeal, perseverance, and usefulness, twenty 
 years. He died in peace on the 10th of January, 
 1833, in the forty-fifth year of his age.

 such members of the Local Committees as may be

 Q. XVI. What are the Resolutions of the Confer- 
 ence respecting the affairs of our Schools ? 
 
 A. 1. The Private Subscriptions and Public Collec- 
 tions for the School-Fund are to be made, as usual, in the 
 month of October. All money belonging to this Fund 
 is to be remitted to the General Treasurers, (whose 
 address is, Rev. Messrs. Scott and Turner, Re- 
 gent-Place, Bristol,) and to no other persons. And 
 it is expressly required, that the Collections, &c, 
 received in October, shall be transmitted to the General 
 Treasurers not later than the 15th of November. 
 
 2. The sums allowed to Preachers for the education 
 of their daughters, and such of their sons as cannot ob- 
 tain admission into the Schools, may be paid out of 
 the Collections and Subscriptions made in their res- 
 pective Circuits, in October, in behalf of the School- 
 Fund, if sufficient for that purpose : but in all such cases 
 the Superintendent is required to send to the General 
 Treasurers, not later than the 1 5th of November, a par- 
 ticular account of the sums contributed in his Circuit to 
 the Fund, and the claims made upon it; and to state dis- 
 tinctly the names of the children for whose education 
 the usual allowance has been paid, and the exact num- 
 ber of years during which the allowance has been 
 received. Any balance due to the Fund shall be re- 
 mitted to the Treasurers at the same time. 
 
 3. We repeat our rule, made in 1820, thnt the 
 allowances for education do not become due until the 
 next Conference, and are not to be paid in advance, 
 except so far as the Collections and Subscriptions to 
 the Fund in a Circuit will meet the claims of that 
 Circuit. But when the Governors of the Schools 
 have been fully enabled to meet their current ex- 
 penditure, if a surplus remains in the hands of the 
 Treasurers, they may make such remittances to Cir- 
 cuits where the claims are large and the contribu- 
 tions very small, as may meet their convenience. 
 
88 
 
 4. The Treasurers' Accounts shall be closed on the 
 "24th of June, that they may bring with them to the 
 Conference a complete report of the state of the 
 Fund ; in order to which, every Superintendent is re- 
 quired to transmit to the Treasurers a correct list of 
 his Subscriptions and Collections on or before the 
 20th of June. Each Chairman shall extract from his 
 District Minutes every thing which relates to the 
 School-Fund ; which extract he shall send to the Trea- 
 surers before the above-mentioned day. And, fur- 
 ther, every Superintendent shall pay to the Chairman 
 o his District, at the time of the annual District- 
 Meeting, at latest, all additional Subscriptions or 
 Collections which he may have received after the 15th 
 of November. 
 
 5. At every District-Meeting, on the day on which 
 the Circuit Stewards are in attendance during the 
 transaction of the financial business of the District, the 
 Chairman is directed to inquire particularly into the 
 amount of the Subscriptions and Collections raised for 
 the School-Fund in each Circuit, and to compare them 
 with the lists of the preceding year. Where any ma-

 CHAPEL-FUND. 
 
 Q. XVIII. What Resolutions does the Conference 
 adopt on the recommendation of the Chapel-Fund 
 Committee ? 
 
 A. I. Having heard the Report of the Treasurers of 
 the Chapel-Loan Fund, and of the proceedings of the 
 
91 
 
 Sub-Committee during the past year, it was unani- 
 mously resolved : — 
 
 - 1. That the Conference cannot review the proceed- 
 ings of the Sub-Committee, or contemplate the very 
 decided and general approbation with which the New 
 Loan Plan has been received, without emotious of sin- 
 cere gratitude to Almighty God, or without expressing 
 their great satisfaction in the striking proof thus af- 
 forded of the strong Methodistical attachments and 
 fraternal sympathies of the body of Trustees through- 
 out the Connexion. 
 
 2. That the progress made in the first year, in the 
 execution of this plan, has been most encouraging and 
 satisfactory ; in various instances very delightful ac- 
 counts have been received of the important relief 
 afforded to individuals, and of the happy effects pro- 
 duced on the spiritual prosperity of societies and Cir- 
 cuits, by the removal of the former heavy pressure on 
 their chapels ; and the measure of success already 
 realized, while it exceeds previous expectation, justi- 
 fies the belief that, if the plan be steadily and ju- 
 diciously carried forward, the result will be of the 
 most beneficial and gratifying character. 
 
 3. That the Conference directs the Sub-Committee 
 of next year to employ such means as may be deemed 
 most expedient and effectual for obtaining Loans from 
 such Trustees as have not yet assisted this great mea- 
 sure of public relief; and they are hereby authorized, 
 provided the Loans from Trust-Funds be found inade- 
 quate to the full accomplishment of the object, to ac- 
 cept some of those Loans which individual friends have 
 so kindly offered to furnish. The Conference, how- 
 ever, judges that this authority should operate only 
 if a case of necessity should occur ; and that Trust- 
 Loans are, on many accounts, greatly to be preferred 
 to personal loans. 
 
 4. That the best thanks of the Conference be present- 
 ed to the gentlemen of the Chapel-Loan Fund Sub- 
 Committee, for the kind concern they have taken, and the 
 valuable and disinterested services they have rendered, 
 
92 
 
 in the furtherance of its great and important object; 
 and especially to William Comer, Esq., of Liverpool, for 
 the journeys he has taken, the sacrifices he has made, 
 and the very efficient help which, in various ways, he 
 has afforded. 
 
 II. 1. The cordial thanks of the Conference are 
 hereby presented to Thomas Marriott, Esq., and the 
 Rev. William Naylor, the Treasurers of the General 
 Chapel-Fund ; and to James Heald, Esq., and John 
 Fernley, Esq., the Treasurers of the Chapel-Loan 
 Fund, for their valuable services during the past year; 
 and they are hereby re-appointed to those offices for 
 the year ensuing. 
 
 2. The thanks of the Conference are hereby pre- 
 sented to the Rev. Robert Wood, and the Rev. Jona- 
 than Crowther, the Secretaries of these two Funds, 
 for their very efficient services during the past year ; 
 and they are also re-appointed to the same office for 
 the ensuing year. 
 
 3. The Sub-Committee of the Loan-Fund, who shall 
 meet in Manchester on the first Wednesdays in Novem- 
 ber, February, and May, or oftener if necessary, shall 
 be composed of the following persons; viz., the 
 Secretary of the Conference, the Secretaries of the 
 Chapel-Fund, the Treasurers of the Loan-Fund, the 
 Rev. Messrs. Robert Newton, Elijah Morgan, Samuel 
 Jackson, John Hannah, sen., D. M'Nicoll, Samuel W r ar- 
 ren, John Anderson, James Gill, John Hickling,G eorge

 Liverpool ; P. Rothwell, of Bolton ; Francis Marris, 
 J. Burton, J. Musgrave, and W. G. Scarth, of Leeds ; 
 and James Hoyle, of Rochdale. 
 
 4. The Committee of Distribution of the Chapel-

 President and Secretary, the Treasurers and Secretary 
 of the Chapel-Fund, the Treasurers of the Chapel-

 ford,one in Bedford, one in Norwich, one in Rochester,

 5. To prevent irregularities in the schedules of 
 embarrassed chapels, in behalf of which applications 
 for help are made, they shall, in future, be examined

 mas Rogers, of Bath ; and the Rev. James W r ood, of

 of the Conference, is appointed Chairman, and the 
 Rev. P. C. Turner is the Secretary, of this Com- 
 mittee. All letters on the subject of chapels should

 4. The thanks of the Conference are hereby pre- 
 sented to the Rev. R. Treffry, sen., and to the Rev. 
 Robert Alder, for their diligent attention to the 
 business of this Committee, during the past year. 
 
 5. The Preachers, and others whom it may concern, 
 are reminded, that, according to rule, " no case shall 
 be sanctioned by the Committee, unless it shall come 
 before them as having received the previous appro- 
 bation of the Quarterly Meeting of the Circuit, and 
 shall be recommended either by the Financial District- 
 Meeting in September, or by the Annual District- 
 Meeting in May." 
 
 6. The Chapel-Building Committee are instructed, 
 when their permission is given for the erection of 
 any chapel, to accompany it with an earnest request 
 that the Trustees will subscribe annually, according 
 
 
95 
 
 to their means, from their Trust-Funds, in aid of the 
 Chapel-Fund. 
 
 7. A copy of the conditions on which the Chapel- 
 Building Committee may sanction the erection, pur- 
 chase, or enlargement of any chapel, shall be sent to 
 the Trustees of the said chapel for insertion in their 
 Trust-Book, — another to the Superintendent of the

 CHILDREN'S FUND. 
 
 Q. XX. What directions shall be given in reference 
 to the Children' s Fund ? 
 
 A. 1. The thanks of the Conference are hereby pre- 
 sented to the District Treasurers of the Children's 
 Fund throughout the kingdom, for their useful services 
 during the year ; and also to the Rev.RichardWaddy, 
 and W. G. Scarth, Esq., the General Treasurers, 
 and to the Rev. Wm. Toase, the General Secretary, 
 of this Fund. 
 
 2. That the Rev. Richard Waddy, and W. G.

 Waddy, Methodist Chapel, Northampton. 
 
 4. From the Reports of the District-Meetings, as 
 to the probable number of Children's Allowances to 
 be provided by this Fund iu the ensuing year, it 
 appears that the ratio of contribution, in proportion 
 to numbers in society, must for the present remain as 
 follows; viz., one hundred and thirty-two members 
 
96 
 
 are to provide the Allowance of one child, and so 
 onwards in regular proportion. On this principle, 
 and in conformity with the Regulations passed at the 
 Conference in 1820, in reference to fractional num- 
 bers, the following statement has been drawn up. It 
 determines the number of Children's Allowances for 
 which each District is responsible in the year 1833- 
 1834, and which must be divided by the September 
 District-Meeting, according to rule, among the several 
 Circuits included in it.

 UNION OF THE CONFERENCE WITH THE 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF 
 CANADA. 
 
 Q. XXIV. What are the decisions of the Confe- 
 rence upon the proposed union with the Methodist 
 Episcopal Church of Canada ? 
 
 A. The English Conference, concurring in the 
 communication of the Canadian Conference, and depre- 
 cating the evils which might arise from the collision of 
 their respective agents in the same field of labour ; 
 persuaded also that the cause of religion generally, and 
 the interests of Methodism in particular, would be pro- 
 moted by the united exertions of the two Connexions; 
 and considering that both cordially agree in holding 
 the doctrines contained in Mr. Wesley's Notes on the 
 New Testament, and in his four volumes of Sermons, 
 have adopted the following Resolutions, viz., — 
 
 1. That such a union between the British and 
 Canadian Connexions as shall preserve inviolate the 
 rights and privileges of the Canadian Preachers and 
 societies, on the one hand, and secure the funds of the 
 British Conference, on the other, against any claims on 
 the part of the Canadian Preachers, is highly impor- 
 tant and desirable. 
 
 2. That as the ensuing Conference in Canada has 
 been appoinfed to be held in September next, instead 
 of the month of June last, for the purpose of receiv- 
 ing the decisions of the British Conference, the Rev. 
 Geouge Maiisden is appointed our Representative 
 to Canada, iu order to carry into effect the Resolutions 
 
102 
 
 of this Conference on the subject of the intended 
 union. 
 
 3. That as one of the conditions of the union pro- 
 posed by the Canadian Conference is, that the British 
 Conference shall have authority to send from year to 
 year one of its own body from England, to preside over 
 the Canadian Conference, it is resolved unanimously, 
 that our Secretary, the Rev. Edmund Grindrod, be 
 now provisionally appointed the President of the 
 Canadian Conference, to be held at York, the last week 
 in May, 1834. 
 
 Q. XXV. What is the judgment of the Conference 
 respecting the conduct of the Rev. Jabez Bunting, 
 and the treatment which he has experienced from 
 various quarters during the year ? 
 
 A. The Conference, having viewed, with feelings 
 of very great indignation, the base and malignant 
 attempts which have been made by a mercenary press, 
 and certain evil-disposed persons, to calumniate the 
 actions and motives of the Rev. Jabez Bunting, and to 
 destroy his usefulness in the church, gladly embrace 
 this opportunity of unanimously expressing their 
 Christian and fraternal sympathy with their much- 
 esteemed brother, in the unjust and wicked aspersions 
 which have been cast upon his character, — their steady 
 and undeviating confidence in his fidelity and integrity 
 as a Minister and a Christian, — and their perfect and 
 cordial satisfaction with the whole of his conduct 
 during the year. 
 
 WEEK-DAY SCHOOLS. 
 
 Q. XXVI. What are the sentiments of the Confe- 
 rence with regard to the formation of week-day 
 schools, in connexion with our societies ? 
 
 A. The Conference has heard with satisfaction of 
 
103 
 
 the formation of week-day schools in immediate 
 connexion with some of our societies, and recommends 
 their establishment wherever the means of supporting 
 them can be obtained, — as such institutions, when 
 constructed on strictly Wesleyan principles, and placed 
 under an efficient spiritual control, cannot fail to pro- 
 mote those high and holy ends for which we exist as 
 a religious community. 
 
 OBSERVANCE OF THE LORD'S DAY. 
 
 Q. XXVII. What other recommendation has the 
 Conference to give on the subject of a better obser- 
 vance of the Lord's day ? 
 
 A. It was resolved unanimously, 
 
 1. That the Conference has, with much satisfaction, 
 heard of the endeavours recently made in Parliament by 
 Sir Andrew Agnew, Bart., in conjunction with other 
 Members, to promote the better observance of the 
 Lord's day ; and that he be respectfully requested to 
 accept the thanks of the Conference, and to be assured 
 of our best wishes for the blessing of God upon his 
 future efforts to obtain such legislative enactments 
 founded upon a previous recognition of the divine 
 authority of the Christian Sabbath, as shall afford 
 sufficient protection for those classes of the commu- 
 nity who conscientiously wish to keep it holy, from 
 annoyance and injury. 
 
 2. That the Conference, continuing to be of opinion 
 that the profanation of the Sabbath is a growing and 
 grievous evil in many parts of our country, again 
 earnestly recommends that our societies and congre- 
 gations should give their zealous support to the local 
 Societies which have been, or may be, formed for the 
 diminution of this great nuisance ; and that they should 
 be ready, if called upon by the parliamentary friends 
 of the cause, to assist it by renewed congregational 
 petitions, or otherwise, as may be deemed most 
 expedient.

 LONDON MISSIONARY SOCIETY. 
 
 Q. XXVIII. What is the Resolution of the Con- 
 ference on the subject of the attacks which have 
 lately been made on the London Missionary Society? 
 
 A. That a respectful and affectionate letter be sent 
 to the Secretaries of the London Missionary Society, 
 disclaiming, on the part of the Conference, any con- 
 nexion whatever with the " Christian Advocate" news 
 paper, and strongly disapproving of the attacks on their 
 Missions which have been made in that paper. 
 
 
 EDUCATION OF THE JUNIOR 
 PREACHERS. 
 
 Q. XXIX. What is the present determination of 
 the Conference with regard to the better education 
 of our junior Preachers? 
 
 A. The following brethren are directed to meet 
 together in London, on Wednesday, October 23d, 
 next, to arrange a plan for the better education of our 
 junior Preachers; viz, 9 the President and Secretary 
 of the Conference, the Rev. Messrs. Newton, Bunt- 
 ing, Gaulter, Eutvvisle, Reece, Taylor, Warren,

 MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS. 
 
 1. The Superintendents of those Circuits in which

 the session of the Conference ; and shall also, on or 
 
105 
 
 before the above date, inform every person whom 
 they may have appointed to preach in those chapels, 
 of the time and place of such appointment : and, in 
 order that the Plan thus prepared may not be violated, 
 to the disappointment of our friends, and to the great 
 inconvenience of other parties concerned, no Preacher, 
 who attends the Conference, shall be at liberty to 
 make an engagement to preach in any other Circuit,

 sible, the excellent Address which he delivered to the 
 Preachers received into Full Connexion, on the 7th 
 instant.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS 
 
 CONFERENCE 
 
 TO 
 
 THE METHODIST SOCIETIES. 
 
 Dear Brethren, 
 
 With mingled sentiments of sorrow and of joy, we 
 solicit your serious attention, while we briefly but af- 
 fectionately address you in reference to the past year, 
 — one of the most eventful in the history of Me- 
 thodism. 
 
 You cannot be insensible to the bereavements we 
 have suffered since we last assembled in the Conference 
 held at Liverpool. The solemn feelings which we 
 then experienced, amidst the ravages of an impartial 
 and relentless pestilence, are still fresh in our recol- 
 lection. In answer, we believe, to multiplied and 
 powerful prayers, — prayers never to be forgotten by 
 those who heard them, — God was pleased to preserve 
 us in health during the whole of the sittings of that 
 assembly, but soon after our departure to the several 
 fields of labour appointed for us, He began, unques- 
 tionably in the wisdom and holiness of his sovereign 
 will, to visit us with death ; and since that time no 
 less than thirty- six of our esteemed and beloved 
 Brethren have been called, and several of them very 
 suddenly, to lay down their charge together with their 
 life. In no one year since the commencement of Me- 
 
Ill 
 
 thodism has death been permitted to make such ap- 
 palling inroads on its Ministers. Some of the best and 
 most distinguished servauts of the church ever known 
 amongst us, have been most unexpectedly removed 
 from us, and at a period too when it seemed extremely 
 desirable that their great talents and influence should 
 be continued to this extensive and important Connex- 
 ion. Some of them were possessed of mental powers 
 of the very first order, and were eminently spiritual, 
 holy, and benevolent. Their talents, zeal, and labours 
 would have conferred an honourable distinction on any 
 age of the church ; and when all who cherish a grate- 
 ful remembrance of their delightful ministrations shall 
 have passed away, their admirable writings will remain 
 to charm and edify mankind while time shall last. 
 They were great lights in the church below ; but their 
 lustre is now inconceivably brighter. They were 
 u wise," and now " shine as the brightness of the fir- 
 mament;" u they turned many to righteousness," and 
 now u shine as the stars for ever and ever." But they 
 are gone to their reward. In the days of their youth- 
 ful vigour the Gospel was so preached to them that 
 the trumpet gave a certain sound, and they prepared 
 themselves for the battle. They u fought the good 
 fight of faith ;" they "quitted themselves like men." 
 At last another trumpet sounded their retreat from the 
 field ; and now, through the grace and mercy of their 
 divine Master, they are enjoying the spoils of the vic- 
 tories which they won. 
 
 While they live in our affectionate remembrance, let 
 our warm tributes of grateful commendation be accom- 
 panied by constant endeavours to benefit by their in- 
 structions, and to " follow them as they followed 
 Christ." Let us, as far as possible, reflect the faithful 
 picture of their numerous excellencies in our own 
 Christian character ; let us seize their fallen mantles, 
 and drink deeply of that pure and salutary spring of 
 holy love, the fountain of their piety, charity, and 
 public spirit, the internal source of the life and beauty 
 of thejr many noble qualities. We are deeply affected 
 by the consideration thai the burden which they 
 
112 
 
 bore is now transferred to other shoulders. We 
 beseech you, therefore, to assist us with your prayers, 
 that God, in compassion to our infirmities, would 
 cause a double portion of his Holy Spirit to rest on us 
 who remain ; and that He would be pleased to raise 
 up a succession of men, so qualified for special service 
 by extraordinary graces and abilities, as the future 
 exigencies of his cause amongst us shall require. 
 
 These observations apply to you, as well as to us 
 who minister in holy things. These bereavements 
 call on you to co-operate with us, in every possible 
 way, to carry on the great spiritual purposes of our 
 Connexion ; to keep at the utmost distance from every 
 thing that might weaken our united strength ; and to 
 cheer and encourage us, by all the means within your 
 power, to save the perishing souls of men. Some of 
 our Fathers are very far advanced in life, and many 
 others of our body are past the prime of their days. 
 But we would not view these melancholy events with- 
 out a lively and deepening concern for the cause of 
 God amongst us. We trust they will stimulate our 
 zeal for the promotion of your most important interests. 
 Only co-operate with us, as indeed you have done, in 
 urging forward the ark of God. " Yea, brethren, let 
 us have joy of you in the Lord ; refresh our bowels in 
 the Lord. Ye are in our hearts to die and live with 
 you. Great is our boldness of speech towards you ; 
 great is our glorying of you ; we are filled with com- 
 fort ; we are exceeding joyful in all our tribulation." 
 
 We have inexpressible satisfaction in assuring you 
 of the very prosperous state of the Connexion. At 
 this Conference we have set apart to the ministry 
 amongst you, by public and solemn recognition, 
 twenty -eight young men, whose piety, zeal, and talents 
 for the ministry, give us no small comfort under our 
 Joss of those Fathers and Brethren who have entered 
 into rest. The peace and harmony and cordial co- 
 operation of our Christian brethren throughout the 
 Connexion, to promote a still greater revival and ex- 
 tension of the work, are happily more general and 
 more decided than at any former period. The present 
 
113 
 
 Conference has perhaps never been exceeded in the 
 unanimity and brotherly affection with which its im- 
 portant and arduous affairs have been conducted. The 
 increase of members for the last year — upwards of 
 twenty-six thousand in the United Kingdom and the 
 Mission Stations, or sixty-two thousand, including 
 America — has greatly surpassed that of any former year. 
 Of these, nearly two thousand belong to our Missions. 
 We have to add to this amount three thousand mem- 
 bers, being the increase of the societies in Canada. 
 At this Conference, it has been proposed to unite that 
 part of our Connexion with the British societies ; and 
 our respected and beloved brother George Masrden 
 has been appointed, and has already proceeded, with 
 the prayers and best wishes of his Brethren, to be the 
 President of the Canadian Conference, which will be 
 held on his arrival in that country. It is hoped that 
 this measure will tend to farther usefulness, and to the 
 preservation of the Wesleyan Methodists as one body 
 throughout the world. 
 
 Our Missions, as you may learn from their ample 
 and interesting Reports, are not only prosperous, but 
 full of promise. The entire abolition of colonial sla- 
 very, and the legal introduction of religious liberty 
 into the colonies, — measures now passed or passing in 
 the British Parliament, — will, it is confidently believed, 
 contribute greatly, by the providence and blessing of 
 Almighty God, to the more extensive triumphs of the 
 truth in that important part of our Mission. 
 
 With regard to the financial difficulties connected 
 •with our chapels, we hope the time is not far distant 
 when they will be substantially, if not entirely, removed. 
 A large meeting on this subject, consisting of Preachers 
 in the neighbouring Circuits, and of highly respectable 
 laymen from different parts of our Connexion, was held 
 at Manchester in the beginning of the last year. The 
 surprising manifestation of unanimity, benevolence, 
 and zeal, which then was witnessed, in the adoption of 
 decisive measures for removing impediments to the 
 spiritual prosperity of Methodism by disburdening 
 our chapels, was evidently from the Lord ; and since 
 
114 
 
 that time we have seen that in some places where im- 
 portant relief was granted, the spiritual concerns of the 
 societies, through the removal of discouragements, and 
 the promotion of peace and union, began immediately 
 to prosper, and a subsequent revival in those places 
 has added numerous converts to our Zion. A more 
 powerful motive than this to the speedy and effectual 
 removal of such burdens cannot possibly be offered to 
 the consideration of the Methodist societies, convinced 
 as we are that the most anxious wish and endeavour 
 of those societies have always been to promote, not a 
 formal system of imposing externals, but the conversion 
 and spiritual edification of the souls of men. 
 
 In this happy state of the Connexion, you will no 
 doubt recognise the special favour and powerful hand 
 of God. When we reflect that the instances of our 
 prosperity are of such various kinds, and all regularly 
 terminating in one object, and that object great and 
 most important, the salvation of innumerable souls 
 from a state of sin and wretchedness to Christian purity 
 and joy in the Holy Ghost ; and when we consider 
 that all this is effected amidst the scorn and enmity of 
 ar- unbelieving and persecuting world, and not unfre- 
 quently of those who profess to belong to the church 
 of Christ ; and when we farther recollect the incom- 
 petency of our feeble instrumentality for the carry- 
 ing on of so great a work to so glorious an issue, — we 
 see in the whole striking marks of design ; and the 
 conclusion seems not merely admissible, but absolutely 
 irresistible, that, whoever may despise and oppose us, 
 God himself is for us. Let us then devoutly and 
 unanimously join to give Him all the praise, to suppli- 
 cate Him with unceasing prayer, and to put our whole 
 trust and conlidence in his almighty arm for success 
 in all our future efforts to advance the interests of his 
 kingdom. 
 
 You cannot fail to observe, that we live in times 
 of great public change and agitation. High controvei- 
 sies are on foot, both as to civil and ecclesiastical affairs. 
 You may sometimes be in danger of listening with to.) 
 warm an interest to such debates; for though they do 
 
115 
 
 not immediately concern our Connexion, yet they 
 occupy so great a share of the public attention, that 
 you may find it difficult to avoid forming certain 
 strongopinions which without great watchfulness might 
 betray you into unprofitable prejudices, and a party- 
 spirit somewhat injurious to your charity and peace of 
 mind. The Divine Head of the Church will no doubt 
 eventually cause these agitations to subside, and to be 
 succeeded by great and permanent spiritual prosperity; 
 will say to this sea of conflict, " Be still," and there 
 will be u a great calm." Amidst all the complication 
 and perplexity of our public affairs, events are doubt- 
 less hastening the universal triumph of the cross ; and 
 the people of God have no cause to be discouraged or 
 alarmed, but to hope in Him that the magnificent pro- 
 phecies of his word on this most interesting subject 
 will be speedily fulfilled ; not by breaking down the 
 several and unessential forms of ecclesiastical govern- 
 ment, — forms which, for aught we know to the con- 
 trary, may remain while time shall last ; — but by ac- 
 companying the publication of u the truth as it is in 
 Jesus" with the copious effusions of his Holy Spirit, 
 to " turn men from darkness to light, and from the 
 power of Satan" to the service of the living " God." 
 To this important result you may essentially contribute, 
 if not by preaching, yet by prayer for this promised 
 advent of the Spirit, and by promoting the dissemi- 
 nation of the truth to the ends of the earth ; not by 
 fiery zeal for circumstantials, but by exhibiting the 
 power of the Gospel in a holy life, and thus diffusing 
 its savour through the whole circle of your influence. 
 Such appears to have been the principal design and 
 constant practice of the first Christians, as it Mas of 
 the primitive Methodists. All other things seem to 
 have been merged in this, and subjected to the regu- 
 lating power of its supremacy in the hearts of those 
 benevolent and heavenly-minded men. Brethren, let 
 us follow them as thus " they followed Christ." 
 
 The special blessing of God upon means chiefly and 
 vigorously directed to this one point,— upon the doc- 
 trines we preachy the discipline we exercise, and the 
 
116 
 
 public and private ordinances, so scriptural, so simple, 
 so spiritual, which as a body we enjoy, — is the great 
 secret of the extraordinary success of Methodism. 
 Those who attribute this success to the mere ecclesi- 
 astical policy of our venerable Founder, and of those 
 who have followed him in the continued application of 
 his system, have done too much honour to the genius 
 and sagacity of the Methodists. They do not under- 
 stand the nature of that system ; they perceive not the 
 general principle of its working, and the true cause of 
 its wonderful efficiency. Let them but preach the same 
 truths, and prosecute the same plans, and the divine 
 blessing on such measures will produce the same effects. 
 
 As our grand aim, therefore, as Ministers, is to save 
 the souls of those who hear us, your aim, of course, is to 
 be saved, and to promote, as far as possible, the salva- 
 tion of your fellow-men. We beseech you then, not 
 only to believe our doctrines with great cordiality, but 
 to reach after the fulness of the experimental privi- 
 leges to which they direct you, and to graft upon the 
 healthful stock of this experience the practice of piety. 
 Be alarmed at the very thought of the unfruitful no- 
 tions and feelings of the Antinomian and the enthusiast. 
 Claim and maintain, indeed, your ccnstantenjoyment of 
 the Spirit's witness testifying your adoption; but join to 
 this the strictest attention to the duties of your station. 
 Read, and study, and obey the brief but comprehen- 
 sive abstract of scriptural holiness contained in the 
 Rules of the Society. It will teach you to abstain 
 from that which is evil, and to follow that which is 
 good. 
 
 In these times of conflict among certain classes of 
 the community, keep at the utmost distance from all 
 associations which are subversive of the principles of 
 true and proper liberty, employing unlawful oaths, 
 and threats, and force to acquire new members, and 
 to accomplish purposes which would tend to destroy 
 the very frame-work of civil society. Such connexions 
 would inflict a dangerous wound on your spiritual ex- 
 istence, and greatly injure the life of God within you. 
 Watch against the evil tendency of many cheap and 
 
117 
 
 imposing publications now circulating through the 
 land ; and which, to say the least, contain nothing 
 that can nourish faith and love. Read the holy Scrip- 
 tures, and meditate upon them day and night. Observe 
 the duties of the Sabbath with all due solemnity ; and 
 promote its sanctified observance as far as possible in 
 others. Be serious and punctual in the several ex- 
 ercises of family religion. " Owe no man any thing, 
 but to love one another." Let love, perfect love to 
 God and man, sweeten all your tempers, and adorn 
 all your actions, both at home and in your ordinary 
 intercourse with others. " 13e at peace among your- 
 selves." " Be of one mind, live in peace, and the 
 God of love and peace will be with you."

THE 
 
 ANNUAL ADDRESS 
 
 OF THE 
 
 IRISH CONFERENCE, 
 
 TO THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE. 
 
 Fathers and Brethren, 
 
 For more than forty years past, we have not ad- 
 dressed you with feelings more ardent, and yet more 
 painful and sympathetic, than we do this day. It is 
 indeed a day of lamentation. The u chariot of fire, 
 and the horses of fire," have appeared, and our Elijahs 
 have gone up into heaven. We see them no more ; and 
 in the anguish of our hearts we cry, w Our Fathers ! 
 our Fathers ! the chariots of Israel, and the horsemen 
 thereof." 
 
 The remembrance of those distinguished servants of 
 the Lord, whose ministry hy the Holy Ghost wrought 
 in us, an increase of all wisdom, whose holy zeal oft 
 kindled our spark into a name, whose prudent and 
 judicious counsels directed us in our most afflictive 
 and distressing circumstances, must be ever cherished 
 by us with the utmost respect and gratitude. Yes, 
 the names of Clarke, Watson, and James, with others 
 of our departed Fathers and Brethren, which with 
 them are written in the book of life, are engraven in 
 our hearts, and shall be had in everlasting remem- 
 brance. 
 
 That fearful disorder which visited your land, also 
 spread its ravages in ours, and multitudes have fallen 
 under its scourge ; and although our people have been 
 
119 
 
 generally preserved, yet our lamented brother Bailey, 
 one of our faifhful and laborious Irish Missionaries, is 
 numbered among its victims. 
 
 The prosperity of the Lord's work, noticed in your 
 Address, together with the deeply interesting commu- 
 nications of our President ancf his colleagues, concern- 
 ing the enlarged outpourings of the Holy Spirit on 
 your country and Connexion have filled our hearts 
 with gratitude to God. And with still increasing joy 
 we have to inform yon, that, during the past year, our 
 gracious Lord has given to our labours and our prayers 
 an increase of upwards of fifteen hundred souls. Such 
 an increase, amidst the disadvantages and opposition 
 under which we labour in this country, opens to us a 
 door of hope of future prosperity ; and while it en- 
 courages our zeal, it lays us in the dust before Him 
 who worketh all good in us and by us ; to whom be 
 glory and dominion for ever and ever ! 
 
 With you we feel persuaded, that were all who 
 enjoy the power of religion " openly to bear their 
 faithful testimony against those vicrs which every 
 where meet the eye, and revolt the heart," it would 
 greatly tend to put to shame the abominations of in- 
 temperance, Sabbath-breaking, and blaspheming the 
 name of the Lord ; — crimes which, alas ! overspread 
 and debase our land. 
 
 No doubt, this demoralizing state of society has 
 been greatly increased by political agitation, and en- 
 couraged by a dogmatical superstition. 
 
 Superstition is founded in error, error involves ig- 
 norance, and ignorance of God and of his holy word 
 generates crime. Hence, the overflowing of ungodli- 
 ness. Against those vices we bear our humble but 
 decided testimony ; and we trust our beloved people 
 will arise to a still more zealous and constant discharge 
 of their Christian obligations to the world at large, 
 and that their "light shall so shine before men, that 
 they may see their good works, and glorify our Father 
 which is in heaven." 
 
 We have peculiar plpasure in being enabled to state, 
 that, notwithstanding the various agitations of our dis- 
 
mo 
 
 tracted country, our people, as a body, have been 
 happily preserved from all interference with political 
 matters. To fear God, to honour the King, to obey 
 the laws, and live peaceably with all men, are not only 
 maxims of our holy religion, but also essential rules, 
 which we conscientiously observe in the regulation of 
 our conduct. 
 
 The exercise of a godly discipline we have found 
 conducive to the best interests of our societies; and 
 while we feed the flocks committed to our care, we 
 are resolved to guard the sheep-fold from the er- 
 roneous and incorrigible, being fully persuaded that 
 Christian discipline is essential to Christian order. 
 
 In these times of infidelity, superstition, and vacil- 
 lating opinions, we feel called upon to keep and con- 
 tend for " the faith once delivered to the saints," which 
 has been clearly taught, and ably defended from the 
 holy Scriptures, by our revered Founder, and those 
 kindred spirits who, contemporary with him, and in 
 succession, have laboured in this hallowed service, and 
 are now together rejoicing before the throne, having 
 received the end of their faith, the salvation of their 
 souls. 
 
 The fundamental doctrines of our sacred profession 
 are, the essential Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, in 
 the unity of the Father, and the Holy Spirit ; his 
 universal mediatorial sacrifice ; the personal justifi- 
 cation of all believers through faith in his blood ; the 
 attestation of this grace by the direct witness of the 
 Holy Spirit ; and its accompanying fruits of practical 
 holiness, necessarily produced by the indwelling of 
 Christ in us, which is our hope of glory. These doc- 
 trines stand confessedly in the front of the Christian 
 revelation ; and we cannot, dare not, compromise them, 
 or commix them with any deleterious systems which 
 deny either the Godhead of Christ, the riches of his 
 universally atoning sacrifice, or the salutary and 
 sanctifying inspirations of the Spirit of God. These 
 doctrines our Lord taught, and his Apostles preached. 
 For them the martyrs bled ; and for them our Founder 
 and our Fathers suffered reproach and persecution as 
 
121 
 
 enthusiasts and deceivers, as turning the world upside 
 down. Their names were cast out as evil ; the infidel 
 hated, the profane insulted, the weak and the wavering 
 turned aside, and walked no more with them ; but by 
 the force of the truth as it is in Jesus, and in demon- 
 stration of the Spirit, and with power from on high, 
 they were enabled to put to silence the ignorance of 
 infidel and evil men. 
 
 On this subject, we cannot but notice with respect 
 to the venerable Wesley, that while in this arduous 
 work he effectually wielded the sword of the Spirit, 
 which is the word of God ; he was also amply supplied 
 with a quiver full of arrows, sharp and well directed, 
 viz., the devotional liturgy of the established Church. 
 Such were the weapons of his warfare ; and with them 
 he corrected the rash, put to shame the rude, enlight- 
 ened the ignorant, by teaching the wisdom that is 
 from above ; and through his instrumentality, under the 
 blessing of Heaven, multitudes in after-ages have been 
 confirmed in religion, pure and undefiled. Whatever, 
 therefore, may he the opinion of some, we believe it is 
 the sober jurl^ment of the deliberate and candid, that 
 Wesleyan Methodism has been for nearly the last 
 century the humble but sacred depot of evangelical 
 truth. 
 
 With the benevolent of all churches in the united 
 empirej we have long deplored the afflicted state of 
 the negro slaves in the West India colonies ; and 
 our ceaseless anxieties and prayers have been directed 
 towards their deliverance ; and now we behold with 
 joy the dawn of the day of mercy : and while we bless 
 the Father of universal grace, we cannot but express 
 our feelings of gratitude and respect for those men, 
 who in the worst of times dared to mix their sym- 
 pathies, their zeal, their labours, and their influence, 
 that they might one day see the cup of blessing poured 
 into the lips of the wretched ; and we trust that by 
 the legislative measures now pending, the captives 
 shall soon be set free, their consciences be uncontrolled 
 by human authority, and their rights as men and as 
 Ch.istians be effectually recognised and established.

 Your appointment at your last Conference of our 
 highly-valued countryman, Dr. Clarke, and our be- 
 loved brother James, to accompany your esteemed 
 President to our Conference this year, was to us 
 matter of joyous anticipation ; but it has pleased the 
 supreme and unerring Disposer of events to disappoint 
 this hope, by the unexpected removal of those distin- 
 guished Ministers of the Gospel from their labours in 
 the church below, to the joys and glory of the church 
 above. And while we feel the deepest sympathy 
 under this bereavement, we heartily rejoice in God 
 our Saviour that he has spared to you, and to us, our 
 excellent President ; and we have to record our un- 
 feigned acknowledgments for the visit of those ex- 
 cellent brethren, the Rev. Messrs. Bunting and 
 Lessey, whom he selected to accompany him in the 
 room of the deceased. Nor can we withhold from 
 them tbe cordial expression of our gratitude, for their 
 compliance, at much personal inconvenience, with this 
 unexpected call : their presence amongst us in this 
 day of trouble has been to us indeed cheering and 
 cwn-olatory. Whilst, associated with our President, 
 their long and experienced counsels have greatly and 
 happily assisted us in all the business and concerns of 
 our Conference ; and never, perhaps, on any former 
 occasion, were their public ministrations of the word 
 of life to listening multitudes attended with more of 
 the illumination, unction, and power of the Holy Spirit; 
 and the gracious fruits tbereof we can have no doubt 
 will be found after many days. 
 
 Th'* labours of the Rev. Messrs. Toase and Broad- 
 bent, Hannah and Duncan, your Missionary deputation, 
 were rendered highly beneficial to our Missionary 
 cause. Their ministrations were instructive and profit- 
 able, and their Missionary communications were inter- 
 esting and affecting. But we had to regret the short 
 period of their continuance among us. 
 
 The faithful labours and diligent attentions of our 
 esteemed brother, the Rev. Elijah Iloole, the Agent 
 of your Mission-Schools, have induced us to request 
 his re-appointment the ensuing year. The circum- 
 
123 
 
 stances in which he has been placed in the two pre- 
 ceding years will, it is hoped, justify in your estima- 
 tion this our expectation of his return to us. 
 
 We send as our Representatives, to your Confer- 
 ence, our esteemed and beloved brethren, the Rev. 
 Messrs. William Stewart, Thomas Wade Doolittle, 
 and Thomas Waugh. Finally, Fathers and Brethren, 
 W pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free 
 course and be glorified, even as it is with you;" and 
 that by " counting all things but loss for the excellency 
 of the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord," and 
 u holding fast the profession of our faith without 
 wavering." we may be found in him, and in the end 
 be counted meet to be partakers with you u of the 
 inheritance of the saints in light."

 THE ANSWER 
 
 OF THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 ADDRESS OF THE IRISH CONFERENCE. 
 
 Very dear Brethren, 
 
 When our highly-esteemed fellow-servants, your 
 Representatives, presented to us your Annual Ad- 
 dress, they found us assembled in circumstances at 
 once awful and animating, and impressed with sen- 
 timents of peculiar solemnity. The extraordinary 
 number of those who have been called to rest from 
 their labours, the distinguished character of some of 
 them, and the affecting manner in which they were 
 tak^n from us, have admonished us to remember the 
 frailty of our mortal nature, and to work while it is 
 day. These bereavements have deepened our pre- 
 vious conviction that we who thus cherish the memory 
 of the loved and venerated dead, shall never all 
 meet again till we rise with them to appear before 
 their God and our God. While we joyfully antici- 
 pate the great day when we shall be re-united to our 
 departed worthies, we have also the consolation of 
 knowing that their memorial has not perished with 
 them. They live in the grateful remembrance of great 
 numbers of the people of God, who were profited 
 by their ministry. The venerable Dr. Adam Clarke 
 was, through divine providence and grace, a great gift 
 from your country to ours, and to the general church 
 of God both now and in future ages. His writings, 
 and those of the late Rev. Richard Watson, will 
 iong continue to enrich the minds of Christian readers 
 with treasures cf sacred knowledge, and will be instru- 
 
 
125 
 
 mental to the producing and maturing of ho'y thoughts 
 and principles in the minds of multitudes yet unhorn. 
 
 The removal of one of these great men in advanced 
 age, by the mysterious agency of the pestilence ; of 
 another in the fulness of capacious and sanctified intel- 
 lect, by slow consuming affliction ; of another beloved 
 brother from a course of strenuous official exertion ; 
 of many others who were suddenly taken away u from 
 a suffering church beneath, to a reigning church 
 above ; " — these events, viewed in connexion with the 
 awful progress of that wide-wasting plague by which 
 some of them were smitten, have taught us afresh to 
 acknowledge the sovereign interference of "that great 
 mysterious Deity" who has so signally dealt with us 
 since our last annual assembly. " Clouds and dark- 
 ness are round about Him ;" but " righteousness and 
 judgment are the habitation of his throne." 
 
 Notwithstanding the scoffs and revilings of super- 
 cilious infidels and hardened worldlings, on occasion of 
 the appointment of a general fast in the season of nati- 
 onal calamity, many of our countrymen " remembered 
 God, and were troubled," when they perceived, as his 
 messenger, an insidious invisible destroyer, gliding on the 
 wings of the wind, and silently breathing agony and death 
 upon thousands of their fellow-beings in the throngs 
 of great cities, and amongst the scattered population 
 of country villages. The national fast was observed 
 with extraordinary solemnity. He who spared the 
 penitent Ninevites, showed himself still rich in mercy, 
 and infused a spirit of humiliation into the hearts of 
 multitudes in that day of affliction and alarm. Many 
 were then moved to hear his word who had previously 
 been strangers to his sanctuaries. The Spirit of the 
 Lord accompanied the word of his grace ; many were 
 turned from their sins, and obtained joy and peace in 
 believing. The blessed effect of these remarkable 
 dispensations of Providence and grace is manifest in an 
 unprecedented increase of the members of our soci- 
 eties ; amounting in Great Britain to 22,898, in the 
 Missionary stations to 1937, which, with 1504 mem- 
 
126 
 
 bers added to your societies in Ireland, make a total 
 increase of 26,339. 
 
 In all these great visitations, — in the extraordinary- 
 mortality amongst our Fathers and Brethren in the 
 ministry, — in the ravage and terror of the Asiatic 
 cholera, — in the national humiliation, — in the addi- 
 tion of so many thousands of members to the flock of 
 which the great Shepherd has made us overseers, — in 
 all we perceive and adore the mighty working of 
 " Him who is invisible;" to Him we desire to give all 
 the praise of the extensive success with which our 
 ministrations have been blessed; and, casting ourselves 
 before the mediatorial throne, we would say, " Not 
 unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto thy name we 
 give glory, for thy mercy and thy truth's sake." 
 
 We doubt not that you fully participate with us in 
 our conscientious conviction that, from the gracious 
 increase given to our labours in the Gospel, there 
 arises a proportionate increase of pastoral responsi- 
 bility, that so many thousands of babes in Christ 
 are committed to us to be trained in knowledge and 
 holiness, and guarded from the snares of the wicked 
 one. 
 
 We congratulate you on that abstinence from poli- 
 tical strife, which, as we learn from your Address, has 
 been generally observed by the societies under your care. 
 The awakening impression of that foreign pestilence 
 which afflicted these islands, was mercifully sanctified, 
 in both countries, to the general preservation of our 
 united Connexions from the extravagant excitement 
 and vehement contention of parties in the state : evils 
 which, by producing an idolatrous estimation of 
 worldly objects, cause a correspondent degree of 
 spiritual decay and deadness, and often issue in final 
 apostasy from Christ. 
 
 We regard with a warm fraternal interest the high 
 calling of your Connexion, as a witness for God in 
 behalf of scriptural truth and holiness, against dan- 
 gerous error and licentious superstition. Thankful 
 on our own account that the lines have fallen to us 
 in pleasant places, we have often admired the fortitude 
 
127 
 
 with which you have a laboured, and had patience, 
 and not fainted," in your more exposed and trying 
 post of duty ; and we still sympathize with you, as 
 having more (.specially to bear the reproach of Christ, 
 and to maintain more aggressively and incessantly a 
 spiritual conflict against the crafty devices and arro- 
 gant pretensions of Popery. Our earnest prayer for 
 you and for ourselves is, that all our official and indi- 
 vidual efforts, in proclaiming and defending the truth, 
 in testifying against errors and corruptions, in reprov- 
 ing sin and discountenancing vice, in maintaining the 
 godly discipline and unity of our societies, may pro- 
 ceed from the " faith that worketh by love." We 
 desire to be inspired and sustained in all our labours 
 and conflicts, in all our zeal and patience, by that 
 precious grace of faith, that divine conviction of the 
 absolute reality, transcendent value, and impending 
 nearness of the things unseen, that penetrating and 
 abiding sense of the presence of the invisible Jehovah, 
 which wrought so gloriously in the ancient believers. 
 This only can preserve us from being dangerously 
 excited by the inevitable offences of the church, and 
 by the vexations and allurements of the world. This 
 victorious faith can alone enable us to be so forbear- 
 ing and forgiving towards the weak and prejudiced, 
 the unreasonable and injurious, as our duty and 
 safety require ; and keep us in such a state and habit 
 of religious recollection as always to view temporal 
 things in the light of eternity. 
 
 We rejoice to believe that a faithful adherence to 
 our wholesome discipline is increasing in both Con- 
 nexions. It is our privilege in this respect to improve 
 the inestimable advantages we inherit from our holy 
 and gifted predecessors ; and not only to avoid de- 
 generacy, but to go from strength to strength. In 
 regard to doctrine and morals, one of our venerable 
 Fathers, qualified by long experience to compare the 
 present with the early days of Methodism, has de- 
 clared his conviction that the Connexion was never 
 more free from erroneous opinions, never more con- 
 sistent and pure in practice. In Christian doctrine 
 we do not expect to make discoveries, or to become 
 
128 
 
 wise above what is written ; but we long to know 
 and to make known all revealed truth, and especially 
 those principal truths of the Gospel by which we and 
 our hearers may become wise unto salvation. 
 
 We also rejoice with you in the near prospect that 
 the supreme legislature of the British empire is about 
 " to undo the heavy burdens" in the West India 
 colonies, to " let the oppressed go free," and to break 
 every "yoke;" and that the measure will be accom- 
 panied by such regulations as will secure the religious 
 liberty of every British subject in those colonies. 
 
 The arrangements which have been, or shortly are 
 to be made, for an extensive employment of Scripture 
 readers in the Circuits of your Connexion, will, we 
 trust, have a blessed effect on great numbers of your 
 countrymen, who have been retained in helpless men- 
 tal bondage and inaccessible bigotry, through the in- 
 sidious craft of a corrupt priesthood, in forbidding 
 them to read the word of life. 
 
 We have appointed our highly-esteemed President, 
 the Rev. Richard Treffry, together with the Rev.. 
 Robert Newton, to attend your next Conference. 
 "We have also deputed the Rev. Messrs. David 
 M'Nicoll and Abraham Stead to attend and assist 
 at the annual meetings of your Missionary Societies in 
 the north of Ireland ; and for the south, the Rev- 
 Messrs. John Scott and Robert Young. We have 
 also re-appointed the Rev. Elijah IIoole as our 
 Agent for Missionary Schools. 
 
 Your Representatives had previously secured a 
 high place in our esteem and affection : in their pre- 
 sent visit to our Conference, they are again received 
 with unfeigned cordiality, as our valued friends and 
 brethren, and as the messengers of your churches. 
 
 Before we conclude our answer, it may be proper 
 to take this opportunity of informing you officially, 
 that, at the request of the Methodist Connexion in 
 Upper Canada, we have taken measures to associate 
 with us, in a manner chiefly similar to our union with 
 yourselves, the members of that Connexion ; and have 
 appointed the Rev. George MARSDENto attend their 
 
129 
 
 next Conference. This union will, we trust, be in- 
 strumental, by the divine blessing, to the diffusion of 
 the pure doctrine and wholesome discipline of Wes- 
 leyan Methodism, amongst the colonists and aborigi- 
 nal natives of the vast regions extending on the north 
 of the United States. 
 
 We were never more united by the easy bonds of 
 mutual love, more harmonious in our views and pro- 
 ceedings, or more conscious of divine aid and con- 
 trol, than in the sittings of the present Conference. 
 
 We pray Him " who is able to do exceeding abun- 
 dantly above all that we ask or think ;" " who with- 
 holdeth no good thing from them that walk up- 
 rightly ;" and who has assured us that " the Angel of 
 the Lord encampeth round about them that fear Him, 
 and delivereth them;" that he will grant abundant 
 increase to your labours in his vineyard ; and have 
 you, and the societies to whom you minister, in His 
 holy keeping.

THE ADDRESS 
 
 OF THE 
 
 CONFERENCE 
 
 OF THE 
 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH 
 
 OF CANADA, 
 TO THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE. 
 
 Reverend Fathers and Brethren, 
 
 We have adopted, and directed our Secretary to 
 transmit to your Missionary Committee, a series of re- 
 solutions agreed to by this Conference, making pro- 
 posals and recommending the adoption of measures by 
 which the Methodist societies in Upper Canada, the 
 neighbouring provinces, and the whole British em- 
 pire, may be united in one body, underthe superintend- 
 ence of the common parent of Methodism throughout 
 the world, — the Wesleyan Conference. 
 
 The consideration of this important measure has 
 been delayed for want of that free and full exchange 
 -f views vnd feelings which has recently taken place, 
 between the Rfv. Robert Alder, the excellent Re- 
 presentative of your Missionary Committee, and the 
 members of this Conference. The satisfaction and 
 profit we have derived from his presence and labours, 
 during a part of the deliberations of our present session ; 
 and our high regard for his gifts, piety, and devotion 
 to the interests of Methodism in this province, induce 
 us most respectfully to suggest that, should our propo- 
 
131 
 
 >als meet with your concurrence, as we devoutly hope 
 they may. Mr. Alder may be appointed our first Pre- 
 sident, to complete those arrangements so affectionately 
 and happily begun by the assistance of his suggestions 
 and counsel. 
 
 In order to acquaint you more fully with the state 
 of our societies, and the work generally, in this pro- 
 vince ; to learn and rejoice with you in your prosperity ; 
 and to confer on the important matters submitted to 
 your consideration, through your Missionary Com- 
 mittee, we have appointed the Rev. Egerton Ry- 
 erson, a member of this Conference, as our Represen- 
 tative ; whom we beg to recommend to your brotherly 
 kindness and attention, and to whom we refer you 
 for information on all matters connected with the affairs 
 and interests of the junior branch of Wesley an Metho- 
 dism in Upper Canada. 
 
 The work of God is in a state of encouraging pros- 
 perity throughout our Societies and Missions. The 
 Indian converts, with very few individual exceptions, 
 are steadfast, and improving in piety, knowledge, and 
 civilization ; and the Missionary field is enlarging, 
 and thousands of the uncivilized and untaught Indians 
 are soliciting the means of educational instruction, and 
 the preaching of a Gospel salvation. Rational, hum- 
 ble, and scriptural piety has visibly progressed among 
 the members of our societies generally ; and the num- 
 ber, extent, character, and influence of revivals of 
 religion in our congregations during the past year 
 have exceeded those of any former year since the intro- 
 duction of Methodism into this province. The sub- 
 jects of this gracious work have been, for the most p.trt, 
 amongst the more respectable and influential classes 
 of society. The nett increase of our church members 
 during the year is three thousand six hundred and 
 sixteen. Although numerical increase is not always 
 a proof of real prosperity; yet this, connected with a 
 mauifest growth in grace amongst professors, and a 
 generally strict and judicious administration of dis- 
 cipline, enables us with increasing confidence, gra- 
 titude, and self-abasement, to say in the dying words 
 
132 
 
 of oar venerable Founder, u The best of all is, God is 
 with us." 
 
 Our prayer is, that the grace .of God may abound 
 more and more on both sides of the Atlantic, until the 
 knowledge of the Lord shall fill the earth, as the 
 waters cover the great deep. 
 
 By order and on behalf of the Conference of the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church in Canada, 
 
 JAMES RICHARDSON, Secretary. 
 
 Hallowell, Upper Canada,

 ANSWER 
 
 OF THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 CONFERENCE OF THE 
 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH OF 
 CANADA. 
 
 Dear Brethren, 
 The Address of your Conference has afforded us 
 cause of devout thanskgiving. We rejoice in the suc- 
 cess with vyhich Almighty God has crowned your 
 labours in general during the past year; and dwell 
 with peculiar satisfaction on the good resulting from 
 your Missionary operations among the Indian tribes. 
 To you has" been awarded the honour of paying some 
 considerable portion of the debt which we owe as a 
 nation to those interesting aboriginal inhabitants of 
 British America. In regard of ourselves, the Metho- 
 distical year which is now closing on us has been most 
 eventful. We have experienced some of the most 
 
133 
 
 afflictive bereavements ever sustained by us as a body. 
 Some of our brightest luminaries have been extin- 
 guished ; many of our most respected and most useful 
 fellow-labourers have been removed. But in the midst 
 of our trouble God has been eminently with us, and 
 has made our labours successful to an unprecedented 
 extent; our increase this year being 22,898 in Great 
 Britain, 1504 in Ireland, and 1937 in our Foreign 
 Mission stations. 
 
 Your proposals of union have been received by us 
 with great satisfaction. We are anxious to have a 
 closer connexion with a religious body to which we 
 are so nearly related, which holds the same doctrines, 
 and walks by the same rules as ourselves. The few 
 alterations which we have made in your plan have for 
 their object to secure more effectually a vital and 
 beneficial union, without interfering with the privi- 
 leges of your Preachers or societies, or affecting your 
 chapel property. We have ascertained from your 
 Missionary Report the aid required for your Missions, 
 and have agreed to allow a sum for their support not 
 exceeding ^ 1000 per annum; and have determined 
 that on your ratification of the union, ^1000 shall be 
 the grant for the first year. 
 
 We are truly thankful for the appointment of your 
 excellent Representative, the Rev. Egerton Ryerson. 
 The urbanity of his manners, his pious deportment, 
 and his efficient public labours have strengthened the 
 general feeling in favour of the proposed union ; and 
 the talent and temper w ith which he has negotiated 
 the business entrusted to his management, have proved 
 him worthy of your confidence. We have received 
 with great pleasure the expression of your regard for 
 our beloved brother, the Rev. Robert Alder ; but his 
 appointment to an official situation at home prevents 
 our sending him on a second visit to you. We have, 
 however, appointed as our Representative to your Con- 
 ference our highly-esteemed brother, the Rev. George 
 Marsden, who has twice honourably filled the office of 
 President of our Conference, and whose knowledge of 
 Canadian affairs, acquired in his office of General Trea- 
 
134 
 
 surer to our Missions, specially qualifies him for the 
 business now confided to him. And we send with him, 
 as his companion, the Rev. Joseph Stinson, formerly 
 Missionary in Canada, and whom we regard as a fit 
 person to remain with you as the General Superintend- 
 ent of the Missions. 
 
 We earnestly pray that the blessing of the Great 
 Head of the Church may rest upon you in all your 
 deliberations, that you may be led to the adoption of 
 those measures which will be best calculated to extend 
 our common cause in your rising country, and that 
 you may be enabled successfully to prosecute your 
 noble plans for the benefit of the young. We trust 
 that you will continue to watch over your doctrines 
 with holy jealousy, that they may be preserved in 
 their purity ; and that you will be enabled so to train 
 your candidates for the ministry, that they may be 
 found in due time workmen approved of God, rightly 
 dividing the word of truth. And we have confidence 
 in you, dear Brethren, that you will incessantly labour, 
 while disseminating a pure faith, to lead your peopl 
 onward to the highest attainments of experimental 
 religion, and to the most elevated Christian practice. 
 This we ourselves are determined to do. We are 
 resolved still earnestly to recommend Christian holi- 
 ness in all its branches; teaching those among whom 
 we labour to perform their duties to all men, and, 
 avoiding the mere politics of this world, to render, 
 for Christ's sake, all due obedience to " the powers 
 that be." 
 
 Anticipating the happiest results from the negotia- 
 tion so prosperously commenced, 
 
 We remain, dear Brethren, 
 
 In behalf of the Conference, 
 
 RICHARD TREFFRY, President, 
 EDMUND GRINDROD, Secretary.
