 Q. IV. What Ministers have jdied since the last 
 Conference? 
 
 A. 1. In Great Britain the fifteen following: — 
 (1.) Owen Jones; a native of Merionethshire, and 
 among the first-fruits of Wesleyan Missionary labours 
 in Wales. In the year 1808 he entered on the 
 work of the Christian ministry, and continued to dis- 
 charge its duties until the year 1835, when he became 
 a Supernumerary. He was a good man, of a quiet 
 spirit, and sound judgment. His talents as a Preacher 
 were not of the first order, but in pastoral duties he 
 was careful and diligent. Though the nature of his 
 disease was such as to prevent him from uttering any 
 sentiments as to the state of his mind, for some time 
 previous to his death, we have, however, no doubt of 
 his peaceful end. He died July 27th, 184.3, in the 
 sixty-fifth year of his age. 
 
 (2.) William Fish. He was brought to God in 
 early life, and gave decided proofs of a sound con- 
 version, by the uniform consistency of a holy and 
 devoted life. He entered upon the work of the ministry 
 in the year 1785, and laboured with success in Circuits 
 at home for several years ; but such was his love to 
 Christ, and his zeal for the conversion of the world, 
 that, at the request of Dr. Coke, and from a conviction 
 of duty, he left this country, in 1792, for Jamaica; 
 where he was associated with men who suffered "bonds 
 
8 
 
 and imprisonments " for the sake of our Lord Jesus 
 Christ ; and faithfully and judiciously assisted in laying 
 the foundation of the great work of God, which has since 
 been so successfully carried on in that island. In 1805, 
 on account of the failure of his health, he returned to 
 his native land, but was enabled to continue his efficient 
 labours until 1816, when he became a Supernumerary, 
 and spent the closing part of his life in the island of 
 Guernsey ; where he diligently employed his remaining 
 strength in the ministry of the word, the visitation of 
 the sick, and other important duties, until prevented by 
 "age and feebleness extreme." His piety was deep ; 
 his views of Gospel truth were correct and scriptural ; 
 his preaching was clear and convincing ; his manner 
 affectionate and winning ; and his labours were owned 
 of God in the conversion of souls. The doctrines 
 of the atonement of Christ, the justification of a 
 sinner by faith in the blood of Jesus, and the en- 
 joyment of personal holiness, were subjects on which 
 he delighted to dwell. He was highly respected 
 and beloved by those who knew him ; he not only 
 had "good report" of "men," but also "of the 
 truth itself." For some time previous to his decease 
 he was much debilitated and afflicted ; and, conscious of 
 approaching dissolution, calmly and patiently waited the 
 coming of his Lord. He died in peace, on the 9th of 
 August, 1843, in the eightieth year of his age, and the 
 fifty-seventh of his public ministry. 
 
 (3.) George Morley. He was born at Calverton, 
 near Nottingham, February 1 7th, 1772. The circum- 
 stances of his conversion to God are not recorded, but 
 this important event is known to have taken place in 
 early life. He soon began to preach ; and was almost 
 immediately appointed to the work of the regular 
 ministry in Nottingham, his native place. From his 
 early years he was diligent in reading, and exceed- 
 ingly apt in turning to good account every source 
 of information incidentally opened to him ; and 
 throughout life his memory was peculiarly retentive 
 and exact. He was a close observer of men and 
 
things. He took great interest in public affairs, 
 and was well informed on all subjects pertaining to the 
 great movements of the age. His mind was deliberative 
 and calm ; displaying clearness and strength, rather 
 than originality. His faculties were well balanced, and 
 evenly exercised ; giving him eminently the character 
 of a practical man. He inquired patiently, resolved 
 prudently, and acted with firmness. As a Christian, he 
 was sincere, uniform, upright, cheerful, and devoted ; 
 and he was distinguished for a constant acknowledgment 
 of the hand of God in all the events of his life. In 
 speaking of others he scrupulously guarded their cha- 
 racter. With an equanimity of spirit rarely equalled, 
 he was enabled to bear opposition with placidity, and to 
 encounter disappointment without being discouraged. 
 His ministry was remarkable for distinct and clear state- 
 ments of truth, and the evangelical enforcement of duty. 
 It was eminently instructive. His subject was sure to 
 be made clear to the least informed ; and few of the 
 more intelligent could fail to gain some fresh light from 
 his expositions. His ministry, though not characterized 
 by imagination, was full of freshness and interest. His 
 acceptability and usefulness rested upon the solid value 
 of his discourses. He appealed to the reason and 
 judgment; and the effects upon his hearers were sub- 
 stantial, and generally permanent* In the exercise of 
 ministerial authority, few men more happily combined 
 gentleness with firmness. His measures were wisely 
 planned, and executed with a mildness which rarely 
 provoked hostility, and yet ensured success without 
 compromising principle. His name stands in the first 
 rank of those who have served the great cause of 
 Missions by their exertions at home. His zeal for the 
 spread of the Gospel abroad was quickened by his 
 intimacy and intercourse with- Dr. Coke ; and when 
 the Doctor's Mission to India was determined on, in 
 conjunction with Dr. Bunting, Mr. Watson, Mr. Buckley, 
 Mr. Naylor, Mr. Pilter, and others, he took a leading part 
 in originating the plans since so successfully carried out 
 to raise increased funds. With the concurrence and 
 aid of these excellent men, though not without some 
 a 5 
 
10 
 
 opposition, he adopted measures which led to the 
 organization of the " Methodist Auxiliary Missionary 
 Society for the Leeds District," and thus introduced an 
 entirely new era in the history of our Foreign Missions. 
 In 1821, he was appointed one of the General Trea- 
 surers of the Wesleyan Missionary Society ; and in 1824, 
 at the request of the Conference, he undertook the im- 
 portant and laborious office of Resident Secretary ; and 
 for six years, at Hatton-Garden, discharged the duties 
 of that office with exemplary punctuality and diligence. 
 The Missionaries, with whom he regularly corresponded, 
 were always encouraged and comforted by his letters, and 
 with joy anticipated their arrival. To his cool and 
 well-formed judgment, his judicious counsels in the 
 Committee, and his paternal kindness to the Missionaries 
 who dwelt under his roof previously to their departure, 
 the Society is deeply indebted. At the Conference of 
 
 1830, he was chosen as President, and discharged the 
 duties of that office with fidelity and acceptance. In 
 
 1831, he was appointed to the Governorship of Wood- 
 house-Grove School, where he remained, faithfully dis- 
 charging the duties of that responsible situation until 
 within two weeks of his decease. During the last three 
 years of his life, he suffered much from the attacks of 
 disease, but they were borne with uniform submission to 
 the will of God. He was not confined to his bed until 
 within a few days before he died. His mind was 
 uniformly placid and resigned, and he expressed, on 
 several occasions, his calm confidence in the atonement 
 of Christ for his final acceptance with God. He said, 
 shortly before his departure, with great emphasis, " I 
 gave myself to God, and to God's people, threescore 
 years ago ; and He has never left me. He is with me 
 now ; and He will never leave nor forsake me." He 
 spoke on the prospect of spending the next Sabbath in 
 heaven ; and after a short, and not very severe struggle, 
 the mortal strife closed, September 10th, 1843. Few 
 men have pursued, for upwards of half a century, a more 
 unbroken course of activity and usefulness ; his labours 
 being continued, with scarcely a day's interruption, until 
 the last month of his earthly career. His life was one of 
 
II 
 
 perpetual sunshine. He was emphatically a happy man ; 
 and his end perfectly accorded with the tenor of his life. 
 
 (4.) Robert Bentham ; who was born at Dent, in 
 the county of York, in the year 1791. He was designed 
 by his parents for the ministry of the Established Church, 
 and enjoyed the benefit of a liberal education. When 
 about twenty years of age, he undertook the duties of 
 Classical Tutor in a private school, in which the Rev. 
 John Bowers, at that time a youth, who, together with 
 his parents, had recently been brought to the saving 
 knowledge of God by means of the Methodist ministry, 
 was placed as a pupil. The youth became the religious 
 guide of his tutor. By the blessing of God upon his 
 conversation and example, Mr. Bentham was effectually 
 convinced of sin, and sought, with great earnestness, 
 the knowledge of its forgiveness. He at once joined 
 the Methodist society ; and whilst engaged in prayer 
 at a class-meeting, he found peace with God through 
 our Lord Jesus Christ. Shortly afterwards he was im- 
 pressed with a conviction that " a dispensation of the 
 Gospel was committed to him ; " and in the year 1812 
 he was received by the Conference as a probationer for 
 our ministry. He continued to labour for a period of 
 twenty-eight years, when he was compelled by a para- 
 lytic seizure to relinquish the active duties of his office. 
 His character was distinguished by great Christian sim- 
 plicity, sincere and consistent piety, sound sense, and a 
 respectable share of learning. His preaching was in- 
 structive, fervent, and useful. As a colleague he was 
 affectionate and faithful ; and in seasons of agitation in 
 some of the societies amongst whom he laboured, he was 
 firm, though mild, in the administration of our discipline. 
 From the nature of his affliction he occasionally suffered 
 great depression of mind ; but the Lord restored to 
 him, before his departure, his usual confidence and joy. 
 He often observed, " I would not give up my depend- 
 ence upon the atonement of Christ for all the world." 
 He died on September loth, 1843, aged fifty-two. 
 
 (5.) William Hill, 2d, in the thirty-seventh year of 
 his age, and the tenth of his ministry. Born of pious 
 
12 
 
 parents, he experienced in early life the advantage of 
 religious restraint, and though fond of the gaieties of 
 youth, he was preserved from its vices. At the age 
 of seventeen he was converted to God. Drawn by 
 curiosity to a meeting where a divine influence was 
 specially felt, and many persons were earnestly seeking 
 salvation, he too became convinced of his lost state by 
 nature, and sought redemption through the blood of Christ, 
 even the forgiveness of sins. This he soon obtained ; and 
 gave evidence of a change of heart by great conscientious- 
 ness of character, and a life of active piety. For some 
 years he was usefully and honourably employed both as a 
 Leader and Local Preacher. In 1834 he was 
 admitted on trial into the Methodist ministry, the duties 
 of which he discharged with credit to himself, and 
 acceptance to the Circuits in which he laboured. Pos- 
 sessing a sound and vigorous understanding, which had 
 been cultivated by diligent study, he bade fair to main- 
 tain for many years a highly useful position among his 
 brethren. But his career, so full of promise, sud- 
 denly terminated. While actively engaged in attempts 
 to advance the Redeemer's cause, he was seized by 
 illness, which in a few days proved fatal. The day 
 before he died, when his case was first apprehended to 
 be dangerous, on being reminded that it is our duty at 
 all times to put our trust in Jesus, he replied, " I do. 
 I trust entirely in the mercy of God through Christ. 
 I rely on Christ as the almighty, all-sufficient, and 
 eternal Saviour." Only a few hours before he fell asleep 
 in the Lord, he exclaimed, " The prospect is bright ! Jesus 
 is precious." He died at Camborne, January 2d, 1844. 
 
 (6.) James Sugden. He was awakened to a sense 
 of his spiritual danger under a sermon preached at 
 Bradley, near Skipton, and sought and found salvation 
 through the atonement. Shortly after his conversion 
 to God he began to call sinners to repentance. 
 In the year 1809, he entered upon the work of our 
 itinerancy, and laboured with great diligence, faith- 
 fulness, and success, in the Circuits to which he was 
 appointed. When in Durham he was seized with 
 
13 
 
 paralysis, and compelled to retire from the work in 
 which his soul delighted, and become a Supernumerary. 
 From that period his sufferings were extreme : these, 
 however, he endured with Christian patience ; and died 
 in peace in the sixty-second year of his age, and the 
 thirty-fourth of his ministry. 
 
 (7.) William Beckwith, in the forty-first year of his 
 age, and the eighteenth of his ministry. In early life he felt 
 the need of being reconciled to God through Jesus Christ. 
 Nor did he seek the blessing in vain. By faith in the 
 Redeemer, he obtained the peace which passeth under- 
 standing, and forthwith united himself to the Wesleyan 
 society. He possessed more than ordinary mental 
 powers, and laboured successfully to store his mind 
 with useful knowledge. His preaching displayed much 
 thought, and clear views of divine truth. His con- 
 versation was interesting and instructive. His general 
 deportment exhibited modesty and integrity, and his 
 friendship was marked by tenderness and sincerity. 
 The occasion of his death was cancer, under which his 
 sufferings were severe and protracted ; but his patience 
 and fortitude were exemplary. He died in great peace, 
 at Teignmouth, Devon, January 9th, 1844. . 
 
 (8.) Josiah Hill. He was born at Sail, near 
 Reepham, Norfolk, November 13th, 1773. When 
 about eighteen years of age, he obtained the 
 Christian salvation ; and, in his case, as in that of many 
 others, the enjoyment of personal religion proved the 
 first stimulus to the improvement of his mind. He 
 possessed great acuteness of perception, and could 
 readily distinguish things which differ. He had a sound 
 and sober judgment, and acquired a rich store of 
 various knowledge, the result of extensive reading, close 
 thought, and accurate observation. His natural dis- 
 position was pensive ; and this tendency was consider- 
 ably increased, in the later years of his life, by painful 
 domestic bereavements. Deeply, however, as he felt 
 these distressing visitations, he did not charge God 
 foolishly, but was enabled to say, with uncomplaining 
 resignation, " The Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken 
 
14 
 
 away ; blessed be the name of the Lord." He was 
 distinguished by gentleness. There was nothing morose, 
 nothing arrogant, nothing rude or offensive, in his 
 spirit or manner. Meekness and kindness were 
 prominent features in his character. He carefully 
 avoided whatever might rashly provoke painful or angry 
 feeling. Possessing the most exalted views of the 
 holiness and glory of God, and of the purity of His law, 
 his estimate of himself was exceedingly low. Far from 
 boasting of his religious attainments, he always felt and 
 confessed himself to be " less than the least of all 
 saints." As a Preacher, he was simple, clear, method- 
 ical, eloquent, and persuasive. Until his physical en- 
 ergies began to fail, few could more completely arrest 
 the attention of their hearers. He was fervent, affec- 
 tionate, and faithful. His ministrations were honoured 
 with extensive usefulness, both in the instruction and 
 encouragement of believers, and in the conversion of 
 sinners. His return to the regular work of a Wesleyan 
 Minister, after a temporary withdrawal from it, was 
 accompanied by a fresh baptism of the Holy Ghost, the 
 effects of which were visible in the increased spirituality 
 of his conversation, and the more decidedly evangelical 
 and experimental strain of his discourses. His last 
 illness was short and severe, and made him incapable of 
 much intercourse with his friends. He was, however, 
 perfectly sensible of his situation, and expressed himself 
 as humbly, but confidently, reposing on the merits of 
 his Redeemer. He died at Haverford-West, Pembroke- 
 shire, on Monday, January 22d, 1844, aged seventy years. 
 
 (9.) Henry Moore, the friend and biographer of 
 the venerable John Wesley, in the ninety-third year of 
 his age, and the sixty-fifth year of his ministry. He 
 was born in the vicinity of Dublin, December 21st, 
 1751. His father was a respectable yeoman, of good 
 moral character, and a man of some learning, who 
 resolved that his son should be a scholar. In pursuance 
 of this, he was placed under the care of a Clergyman, 
 celebrated for his classical and general attainments, with 
 whom he made creditable progress in the Latin and 
 
15 
 
 Greek languages, especially in the former. It was his 
 father's intention, and his own earnest desire, that 
 he should enter the Dublin University ; but the early 
 death of his parent blighted the hopes in which his 
 young and ardent mind had indulged. A change in his 
 circumstances rendered it necessary that he should 
 devote himself to business. He was accordingly placed 
 under a respectable artist in Dublin, with whom he 
 continued until the age of nineteen, when, to improve 
 himself in his profession, he went to London, where he 
 devoted many of his leisure hours to what is usually 
 called pleasure. But every attempt to be happy in that 
 which is earthly proved fruitless. The Spirit of God 
 produced in him serious and deep convictions of sin, to 
 which he yielded. After some time, he was made a 
 happy partaker of the divine favour, and " rejoiced with 
 joy unspeakable and full of glory." Saved himself, he 
 earnestly desired the salvation of the world. He had a 
 most piercing sense of the misery of those " who were 
 seeking death in the error of their way ; " and, con- 
 strained by the love of Christ, he, after much prayer 
 and serious thought, gave himself to the work of the 
 ministry ; to which, on receiving an appointment from 
 Mr. Wesley, he believed himself to be called both by 
 God and his church. For this work he was eminently 
 qualified. The Bible was his daily study ; and by its 
 inexhaustible treasures, his mind was enriched with 
 divine knowledge. As a theologian, and especially as a 
 Wesleyan theologian, he was pre-eminent. As a 
 Preacher, he was profound, luminous, and sententious, 
 sometimes embodying a volume of thought in a single 
 sentence. Often, when preaching, he appeared to be 
 holding immediate communion with God ; and at such 
 times, an especial unction and power accompanied the 
 word, especially to the souls of believers. His intel- 
 lectual powers were of a high order. His perception 
 was quick ; his understanding clear, acute, and vigor- 
 ous ; his judgment cool and deliberate ; and his decision 
 prompt and firm. This last part of his character led 
 him in all cases, which to himself appeared important, 
 to act more on the convictions of his own mind, than in 
 
16 
 
 conformity with the opinions of others ; which, in a few 
 instances, brought him into painful collision with his 
 brethren, who felt it their duty to express their dis- 
 approbation of his proceedings. As a Pastor, he dili- 
 gently and affectionately watched over the societies 
 committed to his care, visiting many of them at their 
 own habitations, especially the poor and afflicted, with 
 whom he deeply sympathized, and to whom he was a 
 minister of consolation. He was eminently evangelical in 
 his sentiments. Salvation by grace through faith, apresent 
 and full salvation, was his constant theme; and, under his 
 ministry, believers were built up in their most holy faith. 
 He was much beloved in the social circle. His con- 
 versational powers were great. From a richly-stored 
 mind he brought forth things both new and old, to the 
 instruction and edification of all who enjoyed the benefit 
 of his society. In his latter days, though his faith 
 never failed, he was a subject of great and painful 
 weariness. He proved the truth of the words of Moses, 
 that "though by reason of strength" he had far ex- 
 ceeded the ordinary age of man, "yet his strength was 
 labour and sorrow." His end was peaceful and serene. 
 Some of his last words were, " Happy, happy ! " Soon 
 after he had uttered them, he fell into the arms of 
 death, without a struggle or groan, and entered into the 
 joy of his Lord, April 27th, 1844. 
 
 (10.) James Gill ; who for forty-nine years main- 
 tained a respectable rank in the Wesleyan ministry, was 
 much beloved by his brethren, highly esteemed by the 
 people among whom he laboured, and rendered ex- 
 tensively useful. He was convinced of his sinfulness 
 and danger in the twenty-second year of his age, im- 
 mediately joined the Methodist society, and a few 
 months after, while conversing with the late Rev. 
 Joseph Benson on justification by faith in the Lord 
 Jesus Christ, he found peace with God. Under the 
 constraining influence of the love of Christ, he longed 
 for the salvation of his fellow-men, and began to exhort 
 sinners to repent and believe the Gospel. His genuine 
 piety, earnest desire to do good, and promising talents, 
 
17 . 
 
 recommended him as a suitable person to be employed 
 in our ministry, on which he entered in the year 1795. 
 Mr. Gill was a man of sound judgment, " a scribe 
 instructed unto the kingdom of heaven," and able to 
 " bring forth out of his treasure things new and old." 
 Of him it may be said, that he was " mighty in the 
 Scriptures." His ministry was clear in its doctrines, 
 full and rich in Christian experience, and thoroughly 
 practical. He was compelled in 1838, by his infirm- 
 ities, to become a Supernumerary ; but was diligent in 
 preaching and pastoral visiting till within three months 
 of his decease, when he was entirely laid aside from all 
 public religious duties ; but his confidence in the good- 
 ness of God, and in the atoning sacrifice and prevalent 
 intercession of Christ, was unshaken. When reminded 
 of his long and useful life and ministry, he said, " By 
 God's grace I have been preserved from sinning against 
 him. I have always aimed at pleasing him ; but I have 
 nothing to rely upon but his mercy through the precious 
 atonement of Christ. This is my only hope. Here I 
 constantly rest. I am unworthy of the divine regard ; 
 1 but Jesus died for me.' " His decease, though expected 
 by his friends, was somewhat sudden. After taking a 
 short walk, he complained of being worse, sat down 
 upon his sofa, and without a groan entered into the joy 
 of his Lord. He died at Northampton, on the 1st of 
 May, 1844, aged seventy-four years. 
 
 (11.) Henry Turner. He was convinced of sin, and 
 found peace with God, at an early age. Having himself 
 tasted the good word of God, the " love of Christ con- 
 strained him " to declare it to others ; and being regu- 
 larly introduced into the Wesleyan ministry, he con- 
 tinued until the day of his death to preach the un- 
 searchable riches of Christ. He was a diligent student, 
 and possessed much general information. His sermons 
 were well studied, and delivered with animation. 
 Though they were never deficient in sound scriptural 
 truth, his chief aim was to affect the hearts of his 
 hearers. He gave great prominence to the doctrine 
 of the atonement, and appeared deeply anxious that a 
 
18 
 
 saving interest in it should be enjoyed by his hearers. 
 His disposition was amiable, and his piety unassuming 
 and consistent. For several years he suffered much 
 from bodily weakness. He died suddenly, on Tuesday, 
 May 7th, 1844, in the forty-fifth year of his age, and 
 the twenty-first of his ministry. 
 
 (12.) Mark Dawes. He was born at Ridgway, near 
 Sheffield, of parents whose pious and persevering atten- 
 tions to the spiritual interests of their youthful charge, 
 were rewarded by his early conversion to God. In 
 the year 1809 he entered upon the Christian ministry, 
 which he prosecuted with diligence and zeal, with 
 fidelity and success, until failing health and strength 
 compelled him to retire, in the year 1842. He spent 
 one year amongst his friends at Birstal, where, on 
 account of the amiability of his spirit, the propriety of 
 his conduct, and the zeal and savour of his ministry, 
 they were induced to give him a cordial invitation to 
 become one of their Ministers. He resumed his full 
 ministerial duties with his former devotedness and 
 pleasure. In a few weeks, however, his health again failed, 
 when he was finally compelled to retire from that work 
 in which his soul so much delighted, saying, " Thy will 
 be done." He was a man of unassuming manners, and 
 of great seriousness of spirit. His ministry was scrip- 
 turally evangelical, and his pastoral duties were dis- 
 charged with kindness and uprightness. During his last 
 affliction, he enjoyed uninterrupted communion with God, 
 and died in great peace, June 1st, 1844, in the fifty-ninth 
 year of his age, and in the thirty-fifth of his ministry. 
 
 (13.) William Radford ; who died in the sixty-fifth 
 year of his age. He was awakened under the ministry 
 of the Rev. Joseph Benson, when preaching on the 
 general judgment. In 1797 he became a member of 
 the Methodist society in the city of Bristol, and on 
 May 16th, 1799, obtained a clear sense of his accept- 
 ance with God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. Soon 
 after, he and some other pious young men formed 
 themselves into a community, to hold meetings for 
 prayer, exhortation, and the distribution of religious 
 
19 
 
 tracts in the surrounding villages. In 1800 he became 
 a Local Preacher, and in 1803 entered upon our 
 itinerancy, in which he faithfully laboured for about 
 thirty years ; when, through affliction, he retired as a 
 Supernumerary to Bristol, where, as his health per- 
 mitted, he occasionally preached with great acceptance. 
 He possessed a respectable share of sound sense ; his 
 conversation was intelligent, interesting, and useful, 
 being at once cheerful and serious ; his spirit was 
 gentle, and his manners such as were honourable 
 to his character as a Christian Minister. He was a 
 man of a meek and quiet spirit ; fervent and powerful 
 in prayer ; as a Preacher, lucid, impressive, and success- 
 ful in the conversion of sinners, and in the edification 
 of the church. His end was peaceful and triumphant. 
 He contemplated death with great composure : when 
 his departure was alluded to, he often said, " There is a 
 better country." In his last affliction, which was long 
 and distressing, he was patient, and even cheerful. He 
 fell asleep in Jesus, June, 1844. 
 
 (14.) John Shaw. He had the advantages of pious 
 parental instruction, and was in early life a subject of 
 religious impressions. When about eighteen years of 
 age, he was convinced of sin under a sermon preached 
 by the late Rev. Joseph Hollingworth, and soon after 
 obtained, by faith in Christ, a clear sense of the pardon- 
 ing mercy of God, and the Spirit of adoption. His piety 
 was genuine, deep, and progressive ; and his deportment 
 was devout and consistent. As a colleague, he was faith- 
 ful and affectionate ; and as a Minister, he was beloved 
 by the people among whom he laboured. His end 
 was sudden and unexpected. During his short and 
 severe affliction, he enjoyed great peace and unshaken 
 confidence in God, declaring that he found the great 
 truths which he had preached to others to be his support 
 and consolation. He died July 4th, 1844, in the thirty- 
 seventh year of his age, and the eighth of his ministry. 
 
 (15.) Samuel Robinson, in the fifty-first year of his 
 age, and the thirtieth of his ministry. He was con- 
 verted to God in early life ; and having been called by 
 the Head of the church, he gave himself to the ministry 
 
20 
 
 of the word. As a Preacher of the Gospel, his gifts 
 were acceptable and useful. At the Conference of 
 1840, he was compelled by declining health to retire 
 from the active duties of the church. During the last 
 few years of his life he endured great affliction, in 
 the furnace of which he was made more fully meet for 
 a place in heaven. Shortly before his decease, he said, 
 with much seriousness, " 1 am going ; but 1 have full satis- 
 faction that all is right." He died in great peace, near 
 Beaconsfield, in the High-Wycomb Circuit, on the 24 th 
 of July, 1844. 
 
 2. In Ireland, three, viz., — 
 
 (1.) William Hamilton ; who was born near the 
 town of Newry, in 1761. At the age of fourteen, soon 
 after he was brought to " the knowledge of the truth as 
 it is in Jesus," he became a member of the Wesleyan 
 society ; and having experienced the power and blessed- 
 ness of converting grace, he began to warn others of the 
 evil of their way, and to call sinners to repentance. The 
 consistency of his deportment, and the success which 
 attended his endeavours to be useful, engaged the 
 attention of the Ministers, by whom he was recom- 
 mended to the Rev. John Wesley. In 1788 he re- 
 ceived an appointment from him to the Brookborough 
 Circuit ; and during a period of twenty-nine years he 
 was a faithful and successful labourer in the Lord's 
 vineyard. For a considerable portion of that time he 
 was the companion of the indefatigable Gideon Ouseley 
 and Charles Graham ; and whilst he shared with them 
 in their arduous toils and trials, he enjoyed the privilege 
 of witnessing many blessed revivals of religion, and par- 
 ticipated with them in the joy of beholding sinners 
 turned "from darkness to light, and from the power of 
 Satan unto God." Through increasing infirmities he 
 was, in 1816, compelled to retire from the regular work 
 of our ministry ; but during the years of his comparative 
 retirement he laboured, as his strength admitted, in the 
 service of his blessed Master, and was made a blessing to 
 many in the several localities where he resided. He 
 was well acquainted with the Holy Scriptures, apt to 
 teach, and possessed a happy talent of clothing sacred 
 
21 
 
 truth in language so plain and pleasing as to render it 
 attractive to young persons, who were special objects of 
 his concern, and of making it instructive and profitable 
 to his hearers. His discourses were characterized by 
 originality of thought and illustration, and they seldom 
 failed to fix attention, and leave a lasting impression upon 
 the memory and the heart. He was zealous, patient, 
 prayerful, and persevering, in the work of the Lord ; nor 
 was he suffered to run or labour in vain. Previous to 
 his last illness, he wrote on a blank leaf of his Bible, 
 11 Even now my soul is on the wing. I am very happy. 
 I bless the day that I was born. What hath the world 
 to equal this ? I bid its frowns and smiles farewell ; for 
 'angels beckon me away, and Jesus bids me come.'" 
 Some of his last words were, " If I could shout so that the 
 world might hear, I would tell of the goodness and love 
 of God my Saviour. Not a cloud ! not a cloud ! Victory 
 over death ! The sting is taken away. Glory, glory to 
 God !" He died October 8th, 1843, in the eighty-second 
 year of his age, and the fifty-sixth of his ministry. 
 
 (2.) John Farrell, in the ninth year of his ministry. 
 In early life he was deeply convinced of sin, and at the 
 age of sixteen experienced redemption through the 
 blood of Christ. His talents as a Preacher were re- 
 spectable, his diligence in the use of them was uniform, 
 and his ministry successful in the awakening and con- 
 version of sinners. He endured a painful and pro- 
 tracted affliction with patience, and died in great peace, 
 February 25th, 1844, aged thirty-two years. 
 
 (3.) Thomas Brown. In his early days he enjoyed 
 the advantage of a faithful Gospel ministry, whereby, 
 under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, about the 
 twentieth year of his age, he became the subject of 
 God's pardoning mercy and regenerating grace through 
 faith in Jesus Christ. No sooner was his soul made 
 happy in the Lord, than he began to feel for those 
 whom he saw living regardless of their salvation, 
 and in that awful state of guilt and danger, out 
 of which he had been delivered ; and, through 
 the divine blessing on his pious efforts, many sinners 
 were awakened and turned to the Lord. Having 
 
been, for a considerable time, usefully employed as 
 a Local Preacher, in 1790 he was received on trial by 
 the Dublin Conference, and appointed to the Brook- 
 borough Circuit ; and during a period of twenty-five 
 years, he laboured with diligence, fidelity, and success, 
 until, through failure of health, he was obliged to 
 retire from the regular work of a Circuit. From the 
 time when he became a Supernumerary, he chiefly resided 
 in Belfast, and employed his remaining strength in 
 the service of his blessed Master, to the satisfaction 
 and profit of the society. He was a man of sound 
 understanding, well-informed mind, lively imagination, 
 discriminating judgment, and retentive memory ; a 
 cheerful and happy Christian, a wise counsellor, and 
 a steady friend. As a Preacher he was scrip- 
 tural and judicious; his manner in the pulpit was 
 earnest, solemn, and impressive ; he held forth and 
 enforced a free, full, and present salvation through 
 faith in Christ, and had many seals to his ministry. 
 He was a careful Superintendent, and a faithful 
 Pastor of the flock ; visiting the sick, warning the 
 unruly, and comforting the feeble-minded ; by his 
 diligence and usefulness he secured the respect and 
 love of those among whom he lived and laboured. 
 With much patience, and entire resignation to the will 
 of God, he endured a painful and protracted illness of 
 more than twelve months, until at length " the weary 
 wheels of life stood still," and in great peace, and a 
 joyful hope of a glorious immortality, he departed to 
 " be with Christ, which is far better," June 22d, 1844, 
 aged eighty years. 
 
 3. In our Foreign Missions, six have died, viz., — 
 (1.) "WiLLrAM Cross. At the age of twenty-one years, 
 under the ministry of the Rev. Thomas Edwards, he 
 obtained a clear discovery of his lost and wretched 
 state as a sinner, and sought and found peace with 
 God, through our Lord Jesus Christ. He commenced 
 his Missionary labours in the year 1827, in the 
 Friendly Islands ; where the work of God was greatly 
 promoted by the instrumentality of his zealous en- 
 deavours. In the year 1835, in company with the 
 
Rev. David Cargill, he undertook the arduous task of 
 commencing a Mission in Feejee. Among the bar- 
 barous inhabitants of this group, he continued success- 
 fully to preach the word of life, after it had become 
 apparent that a removal to a more healthy climate 
 was indispensably necessary for the restoration of his 
 declining health. But so strong was his sense of the 
 necessities of the Mission, and so unwilling was he to 
 reduce the little band of labourers who were toiling in 
 the extensive field which had been thrown open to their 
 exertions, that he remained at what appeared to him to 
 be the post of duty, until he was attacked by dysentery ; 
 which, in his enfeebled state, speedily put an end to both 
 his work and his life. Mr. Cross was characterized by 
 ardent zeal, and great conscientiousness in the perform- 
 ance of the various duties of a Christian Missionary. 
 He entered into rest on the 15th of October, 1842. 
 
 (2.) David Cargill, M.A. While pursuing his 
 studies at the University of Aberdeen, he was brought 
 to the saving knowledge of God, under the Wesleyan 
 ministry. In the year 1832 he was appointed as a Mis- 
 sionary to the Friendly Islands ; where it pleased the 
 great Head of the church to crown his endeavours with 
 eminent success. He laboured faithfully, and suffered 
 much privation and hardship in the formation of the 
 Feejee Mission, until personal and family affliction ren- 
 dered his removal necessary. Having visited England, 
 he was re- appointed to the Mission in the Friendly 
 Islands, with the special view that his talents and 
 learning might be rendered subservient to the important 
 object of securing a correct translation of the sacred 
 Scriptures into the native language. The expectations 
 which were entertained in consequence of this arrange- 
 ment were, however, painfully cut off by his sudden 
 and unexpected death, which took place at Vavau, on 
 the 25 th of April, 1843. 
 
 (3.) John Brown, 3d, aged twenty-four years. 
 Having enjoyed the advantage of a course of instruction 
 at our Theological Institution, he was appointed, in the 
 year 1841, to the island of St. Christopher, in the 
 West Indies; where he successfully laboured in the 
 
24 
 
 word and doctrine, until he was removed, by a short 
 affliction, to his eternal rest. He was distinguished 
 by deep piety, and ardent love to the souls of men, 
 combined with a sound discretion ; and his memory is 
 affectionately cherished by those who were favoured 
 with his ministrations. He died September 17th, 1843. 
 
 (4.) Arthur H. Steele, aged twenty-two years. 
 He was a native of Bermuda, where he was brought to 
 the saving knowledge of the truth by the instrumentality 
 of the Wesleyan ministry. Appointed by the last 
 Conference to the island of Nevis, he laboured there 
 zealously and usefully during a few months; when he 
 was removed, after a short affliction, to a better world. 
 He died October 3d, 1843. 
 
 (5.) Samuel Symons. He was of studious habits, 
 possessed deep piety, and was zealous and indefatigable 
 in his Master's service. His end was peaceful and happy. 
 Only a few minutes before he breathed his last, he re- 
 quested his affectionate colleague to send his dying love 
 to his father and mother, and tell them that he did not 
 regret that he had gone to Western Africa. He died at 
 Macarthy's Island, River Gambia, January 12th, 1844, 
 in the third year of his probation, and the thirtieth year 
 of his age. 
 
 (6.) Benjamin Watkin; at the Gold-Coast, Western 
 Africa, in the twenty-seventh year of his age. His 
 talents and general fitness for the Missionary work gave 
 much promise of usefulness ; t but his labours were ter- 
 minated by a fatal disease m a few months after his 
 arrival. He died in great peace, February 7th, 1844.

 5. The Conference unanimously concurs in the follow- 
 ing Resolutions of the Committee of Review, adopted at 
 its Meeting, held at Birmingham, on Tuesday, July 30th: — 
 
 " That this Committee has learned with the utmost 
 concern, that notwithstanding the very earnest and con- 
 tinued efforts which the General Committee has made to 
 reduce the Expenditure of the Foreign Missions, so as 
 to bring it within the Income of the Society, there is 
 ground for apprehension that there will be a deficiency at 
 the end of the current year of little less than Ten 
 Thousand Pounds* 
 
 " That this Committee deeply sympathizes with the 
 General Committee in its care and anxiety for the con- 
 tinuance of the Foreign Missions in all their efficiency, — 
 more especially as it has pleased the Great Head of the 
 Church to make them instrumental in the accomplish- 
 ment of an amount of spiritual good in Heathen and 
 other unenlightened lands, in a degree so far beyond 
 what might have been anticipated. 
 
 " That, therefore, before the General Committee pro- 
 ceeds to the work of reducing the number of Missionaries, 
 or Missionary Stations, — a measure which now appears 
 necessary, but which is much to be deprecated, if at all 
 avoidable, — this Meeting pledges itself that each Member 
 in his own locality will use his utmost exertions for the 
 Augmentation of the Funds of the Society, by en- 
 
93 
 
 deavouring to obtain large and increased contributions 
 for its support, and by promoting the activity and 
 efficiency of every Local Committee." 
 
 6. At the several Financial District-Meetings, which 
 shall be held in September, arrangements shall be made 
 for holding Missionary Meetings throughout the re- 
 spective Districts, chiefly those in the Circuit-Towns, 
 during the ensuing year ; so that such Meetings may be 
 held at the least possible expense : And the District 
 Treasurers and Secretaries shall be earnestly invited to 
 attend the said District-Meetings, when such arrange- 
 ments are under consideration. The plan for each Dis- 
 trict, thus provisionally arranged, shall be immediately 
 transmitted by the Chairman to the several Ministers 
 who form the Deputation for that District, as appointed 
 in the List of Deputations hereafter subjoined. The 
 said Ministers are required to correspond with the 
 Chairman forthwith ; in order that such final arrange- 
 ments may be adopted, by mutual consent, as to the 
 exact time of holding the Missionary Meetings for the 
 Circuits of each District, as will prevent in future the 
 great inconvenience which has resulted from the absence, 
 on any Missionary Deputation, of more than one 
 Minister from the same Circuit at the same time. It 
 is required that a copy of each arrangement, thus 
 formed, shall be immediately forwarded to the General 
 Secretaries in London. It is also recommended that one 
 of the usual Quarterly Meetings of each District Aux- 
 iliary Committee be summoned during the sitting of 
 the Annual District-Meeting, for the purpose of inves- 
 tigating the expenses incurred at Anniversaries, &c. 
 
 7. The Chairmen of Districts are requested, imme- 
 diately after the District-Meetings in May, to send to 
 the General Secretaries of the Missions a copy of that 
 part of the District-Minutes which contains the names, 
 qualifications, &c, of those Candidates who may offer 
 themselves for Mission work. 
 
 8. The following Ministers and other Friends are parti- 
 cularly invited to attend a Special Meeting of the General 
 Missionary Committee, which will be held in Leeds, 
 at nine o'clock in the forenoon of Tuesday, July 29th, 
 1845, according to the Seventeenth Article of the " Laws 
 
94 
 
 and Regulations of the Wesleyan Missionary Society ;"

 N.B. This Meeting is open to the Treasurers and 
 Secretaries of the different Auxiliary and Branch Societies 
 in the vicinity, and to such other leading country friends 
 of the Methodist Missions as can conveniently attend ; 
 and their presence is hereby respectfully requested.

 and B. Agar, of York ; Lofthouse, of Hull ; Nussey, of 
 Birstal ; Walker, of Stockton ; Turner, of Derby ;

 such Members of the Local Committees as can con- 
 veniently attend the Meeting of the General Committee 
 to be held prior to the next Conference. 
 
 3. The following are the Local Committees for the 
 ensuing year : —

 Rev. Isaac Keeling, Secretary ; Revds. Richard Waddy, 
 Robert Smith, John Brown, 1st, William Davies, 1st,

 4. The Private Subscriptions and Public Collections 
 for the School-Fund are to be made in every Circuit in 
 the month of November ; and the Conference repeats 
 and urges its recommendation to our lay -friends to 
 render assistance to the Ministers in procuring the 
 
97 
 
 Private Subscriptions. The sums allowed to Ministers 
 stationed in Circuits, for the education of their 
 daughters, and of such of their sons as cannot obtain 
 admission into the Schools, may be paid out of the 
 amount raised in the Circuits where they are stationed, 
 if sufficient for that purpose. In other cases, we repeat 
 our Minute made in 1820: "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 any Cir- 
 cuit will meet the claims of that Circuit. But when 
 the Governors of the Schools have been fully enabled to 
 provide for their current expenditure, if a surplus remain 
 in the hands of the Treasurers, they may make such 
 remittances, in advance, to Circuits in which the claims 
 are large, and the contributions small, as may suit their 
 convenience." 
 
 5. The General Treasurers and Secretary shall 
 furnish every Superintendent with an accurate List of 
 the names of the boys and girls to whom the Education 
 Allowance is granted. 
 
 6. Every Superintendent is required to send to 
 the General Treasurers a particular account of the 
 sums contributed in his Circuit to this Fund, and 
 of the claims made upon it ; stating distinctly the 
 names of the children for whose education the usual 
 allowance has been paid, and the exact number of 
 years during which the allowance has been received ; 
 and it is further expressly required that such accounts, 
 with any balance then in hand due to the Fund, shall be 
 sent not later than the 15th of December. All Com- 
 munications are to be addressed to the Rev. Charles 
 Prest, Chapel-House, St. George's, East, London. 
 
 7. The Accounts for the year shall be closed on the 
 24th of June, and audited before they are presented to 
 the General Committee at the next Conference ; and in 
 order to this, every Superintendent is required, at the 
 May District- Meeting , finally to correct his List of 
 Contributions sent in December, and to pay at the same 
 time all additional Subscriptions or Collections; and the 
 Financial Secretary shall send to the Treasurers such 
 
 E 
 
98 
 
 corrections, with an Extract from the District-Minutes 
 of every entry which relates to the School-Fund. This 
 communication shall be made not later than the 31st of 
 May. 
 
 8. 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 
 material deficiency, or want of due exertion, shall appear, 
 the case shall be specially reported in the District- 
 Minutes, and be brought by the Chairman before the 
 ensuing Conference. 
 
 9. The thanks of the Conference are hereby pre- 
 sented to John Irving, Esq., and to the Rev. Charles* 
 Prest, the General Treasurers, and to the Rev. Wil- 
 liam Barton, the General Secretary, for their efficient 
 discharge of the duties of their offices in the past 
 year. 
 
 10. The thanks of the Conference are presented to 
 the late Local Committees and Secretaries for their 
 attention to the affairs of the Schools during the year. 
 
 11. The thanks of the Conference are presented to 
 the Rev. Joseph Cusworth, and to the Rev. William 
 Lord, the Governors of the Schools, and to Mrs. 
 Cusworth and Mrs. Lord, for their kind and diligent 
 attention to everything affecting the comfort and welfare 
 of the children placed under their care. 
 
 12. A regular Quarterly Correspondence shall take 
 place between the Secretaries of the two Schools relative 
 to all matters of common interest, connected with the 
 appointment and the salaries of the Teachers, and the 
 general management and state of the Schools. 
 
 13. The cordial thanks of the Conference are hereby- 
 presented to the following contributors of Five Pounds 
 and upwards, for their liberal aid to the Fund : —

 CHAPEL-AFFAIRS. 
 Q. XIV. What are the Resolutions of the Confer- 
 ence with regard to the Chapel-Loan Fund, the 
 General Chapel-Fund, and the Chapel-Relief 
 Centenary Fund? 
 
 A. (I. Chapel Loan-Fund :) 
 
 On receiving the Report of the Loan-Fund Com- 
 mittee, stating the completion of that entire scheme, 
 commenced in the year 1832, by means of which a 
 sum of nearly £40,000 has been applied in aid of local 
 efforts for the reduction of Debts on various Chapel- 
 Trusts, it is unanimously resolved, 
 
 1. That the Conference gladly avails itself of this 
 opportunity, to place on public record its united and 
 devout thanksgivings to Almighty God for the eminent 
 success with which He has been pleased to crown this 
 effort for the more speedy relief of so large a number 
 of our Chapels, in various parts of our Connexion. 
 
 2. That the warmest thanks of the Conference are 
 due, and are hereby presented, to all those Trustees 
 of Chapels, who have so kindly furnished, in the way of 
 temporary Loans on Interest, the sum above-mentioned, 
 
101 
 
 and have thereby rendered the most essential aid in the 
 happy accomplishment of the entire project, — to the 
 great comfort of many of their Brother-Trustees, and to 
 the signal advantage of the work and cause of God, in 
 numerous important and interesting localities. 
 
 3. That the most cordial and respectful thanks of 
 the Conference are also due, and are hereby presented, to 
 James Heald, Esq., the Treasurer, to the Committees 
 of the Loan-Fund in successive years, especially to 
 John Fernley, Esq., of Manchester, and to Thomas 
 Crook, Esq. of Liverpool, for their long-continued 
 and very valuable services in the successful management 
 of this Fund. 
 
 (II. General Chapel-Fund :) 
 
 1. The cordial thanks of the Conference are presented 
 to Thomas Marriott, Esq., and the Rev. Robert 
 Wood, the Treasurers of the General Chapel-Fund, and 
 to the Rev. Francis A. West, the General Secretary, 
 for their diligent and faithful services during the past 
 year ; and they are hereby re-appointed to the same 
 offices for the ensuing year. 
 
 2. The heavy engagements of the General Chapel- 
 Fund to the Chapel-Loan Committee having now been 
 honourably terminated, by the provision made from year 
 to year for the re-payment of the Loans, with Interest, 
 — it is believed that a considerable portion of the sum 
 hitherto contributed to the Chapel-Fund may now be 
 regarded, in consistency with the continuance of a just 
 and fair assistance to our important Chapel-Trusts, 
 (where it shall be absolutely needed,) as annually avail- 
 able in aid of some other great Connexional purpose. 
 The claim of the Wesleyan-Education- Cause to this 
 benefit has been judged, by the numerous Education- 
 Meeting held in London last October, and by a very 
 large United Meeting of the Chapel and Education 
 Committees held in Birmingham on the 30th day of 
 July, to be of paramount importance and urgency. In 
 order to meet that claim, — to avoid the necessity, which 
 would otherwise arise, of making an additional annual 
 application to our friends and congregations for the 
 
102 
 
 support of our General Education Scheme, — and for 
 other weighty reasons, stated at large in the Preamble 
 to the Third Article of the Fifth Resolution of the 
 London Meeting, (for which see the " Appendix " to 
 these "Minutes," pp. 181 — 189,) — it has been earnestly 
 recommended to the Conference to sanction a New 
 Arrangement, which shall connect, in future, the two 
 kindred and mutually helpful objects of Assistance for 
 the Establishment of Schools, and Relief for Embarrassed 
 Chapels. The Schools, it is hoped, will be Nurseries 
 for the Congregations which will in succeeding years 
 occupy and support the Chapels ; while the Chapels, in 
 the meantime, will furnish the necessary accommoda- 
 tions, in respect to the Public Ministry and Worship, for 
 the Children educated in the Schools. To this propo- 
 sition, as well as to the whole plan contained in the re- 
 vised Resolutions of the London Education Meeting, (See 
 "Appendix," pp. 181 — 189,) the Conference has given 
 its cordial assent. And it is therefore resolved, — That 
 the present designation of the " General Chapel-Fund " 
 be now changed into that of the " United Chapel 
 and Wesleyan-Education Fund;" that the Subscrip- 
 tions and Collections, usually made in the month of 
 February, shall be henceforth solicited on behalf of the 
 two conjoint objects now to be embraced by that United 
 Fund ; and that, in the year 1845, and subsequently 
 during at least the seven years contemplated in the 
 Education-Plan, One Moiety of the annual income of 
 the common Fund shall be retained by the General 
 Treasurers for the original objects of the Chapel-Fund, 
 and applied to that use, according to our various regu- 
 lations on that subject ; and the Other Moiety shall be 
 paid over yearly to the Treasurers of the Wesleyan- 
 Education Committee for the prosecution of the General 
 and Connexional purposes, specified in the Resolutions 
 above-mentioned. 
 
 3. The Committee of Distribution for that Moiety 
 of the United General Chapel and Education- 
 Fund, which is to be devoted to Chapel-purposes, shall 
 meet in Leeds on the Monday forenoon previous to the 
 next Conference ; and shall consist of the President, the 
 
103 
 
 Secretary, and the Ex-President, — the Treasurers and 
 the Secretaries of the General Chapel-Fund, the Trea- 
 surer, Secretaries, and other Members of the Chapel- 
 Relief Fund, the Chairman and Secretary of the 
 Chapel-Building Committee, — the Revds. Dr. Jackson, 
 Dr. Hannah, John Bowers, Thomas Eastwood, Abraham 
 E. Farrar, Joseph Fowler, Thomas Harris, Samuel 
 Jackson, William Lord, Charles Prest, Richard Reece, 
 John Rigg, Jacob Stanley, sen., Joseph Taylor, and 
 Richard Waddy; — and Fifteen Lay-Trustees, to be 
 chosen as follows by the June Quarterly Meetings; 
 viz., — One from each of the Four Leeds, Two Sheffield, 
 Liverpool North, Two Hull, Wakefield, York, Man- 
 chester First, Halifax, and Two Bradford Circuits. 
 
 4. All Collections and Subscriptions for the United 
 Chapel and Education-Fund are to be remitted to 
 the Treasurers of the General Chapel-Fund, (Mr. 
 Marriott and the Rev. R. Wood,) at the latest, before 
 the end of March, 1 845 ; and the Chairmen of Districts 
 are hereby directed to make inquiry in their respective 
 District-Meetings, whether this Rule has been observed, 
 and to insert an answer to that inquiry in the District- 
 Minutes. 
 
 5. The Conference directs that every application to 
 the General Chapel-Fund Committee shall be accom- 
 panied by the new Chapel-Schedule, duly filled up, 
 and signed by the Chairman of the District, in the 
 District-Meeting : and it further directs that the said 
 Schedules shall be forwarded to the General Treasurers 
 of the Chapel-Fund, before July 1st; and that all cases, 
 in which this latter direction shall not have been 
 complied with, shall be postponed for at least one year. 
 
 6. In order to a more complete examination of 
 the cases presented for the sanction of the District- 
 Meetings in order to relief from the General Chapel- Fund, 
 Schedule-Books shall be provided for every District, in 
 which the particulars of each application shall be regis- 
 tered ; and the Chairmen of Districts are required to 
 compare such Schedules year by year, and to see that 
 proper local exertions have been made for the relief of 
 each case, before it is presented to the District-Meeting, 
 
104 
 
 especially by the best possible efforts on Anniversary 
 occasions, without which no case shall be entertained by 
 the General Chapel-Fund Committee. 
 
 7. The General Chapel-Fund Committee shall an- 
 nually revise the cases recorded in the Minute-Book of 
 the Chapel-Building Committee, and call for proof of 
 the fulfilment of the prescribed conditions. 
 
 8. It shall be a condition of affording relief to any 
 Chapel-case, that the Trustees will engage permanently 
 to subscribe to the General Chapel- Fund. 
 
 (III. Chapel-Relief Centenary Fund ;) 
 
 1. The cordial and respectful thanks of the Conference 
 are hereby presented to John Burton, Esq., of Mid- 
 dleton, the Treasurer of the Chapel-Relief Fund, to 
 the Rev. Francis A. West, and Mr. John D. Burton, 
 the Secretaries, and to the Members of the Committee, 
 for their diligent and faithful services during the past 
 year ; and the Treasurer and Secretaries are respectfully 
 requested to continue those services during the ensuing 
 year. 
 
 2. The Chapel-Relief Committee for the distri- 
 bution of Final Grants in aid of Embarrassed Chapels, 
 shall consist of the following persons; viz., the Revds. 
 George Marsden, (Chairman,) William Atherton, Abra- 
 ham E. Farrar, Thomas Stead, John Lomas, John Kirk, 
 Joseph Roberts, George Turner, John Nelson, George 
 Osborn, William W. Stamp, and William B. Stephenson ; 
 with Messrs. Alexander Braik, James Heald, John 
 Fernley, John Lomas, Joshua P. Westhead, James Wood, 
 and Dr. Wood, of Manchester ; Michael Ashton and 
 Thomas Crook, of Liverpool ; Richard Bealey, of Bury ; 
 and Peter Rothwell, of Bolton. The Treasurer and the 
 Secretaries are to be considered as ex-afficio members 
 of this Committee. 
 
 3. This Committee (who have power to add to their 
 number, if they deem it expedient) are directed to con- 
 sider applications from the Trustees of Embarrassed 
 Chapels for Relief by Final Grants, towards the re- 
 duction of debt, and to decide what proportions of the 
 amount to be liquidated shall be raised by the Trustees 
 
105 
 
 and friends of each Chapel to be relieved. The Committee 
 are requested to hold their first Meeting, for the ensuing 
 year, in the Vestry of Oldham-street Chapel, Manchester, 
 on Wednesday, the 2d of October next, at three o'clock 
 in the afternoon ; and to meet subsequently by such 
 adjournments as they from time to time shall deem 
 expedient. 
 
 4. All Letters containing applications for Final Grants, 
 must be accompanied by the New Schedules pre- 
 pared by the direction of this Conference, properly filled 
 up and signed ; and addressed (post-paid) to the Rev. 
 F. A. West, Brunswick Chapel, Leeds. 
 
 N.B. 1. It was also resolved unanimously, — 
 
 (1.) That the cordial and respectful thanks of the 
 Conference be presented to Mrs. Brackenbury, of 
 Raithby-Hall, Lincolnshire, for rebuilding our Chapel 
 at Lusby, in the Spilsby Circuit, and adding thereto 
 a suitable School-Room and Schoolmaster's House, 
 without any increase of the former debt ; — the whole 
 premises being properly secured to the Connexion. 
 
 (2.) That the cordial and respectful thanks of the 
 Conference be presented to Thomas Dugdale, Esq., of 
 Park-Hill, near Burnley, for having built at his sole 
 expense, and regularly settled upon Trustees for the use 
 of the Connexion, a Chapel and School-Room, at Park- 
 Hill, in the Burnley Circuit. 
 
 (3.) That the cordial and respectful thanks of the 
 Conference be presented to John Irving, Esq., of Bristol, 
 for the gift of a Chapel at Arlingham, in the Dudley 
 Circuit, settled according to the provisions of the Model- 
 Deed, and now presented to the Connexion free from debt. 
 
 (4.) That the cordial thanks of the Conference be 
 presented to William Betts, Esq., of Dover, for having 
 built at his sole expense, and settled upon Trustees, 
 according to the provisions of the Model-Deed, a Chapel 
 at Ashford in Kent. 
 
 N.B. 2. The Conference strongly disapproves of the 
 conduct of certain Trustees of Chajpels, in several 
 e 5 
 
106 
 
 parts of the Connexion, who have attempted, by adver- 
 tisements, circulars, or otherwise, to take an undue 
 advantage of the benevolent feelings of our friends, by 
 making applications for pecuniary aid beyond the 
 boundaries of their own Circuits, in an irregular and 
 unauthorized way. And, as such practices tend to 
 diminish the income of the General Chapel-Fund, and 
 thereby to injure the just claims of those Trustees who 
 act legally and conscientiously, the Conference earnestly 
 advises our friends to refuse any aid to persons thus 
 begging for the erection or enlargement of Chapels, or 
 for the liquidation of Chapel-debts, without any regular 
 connexional and official authority. According to our 
 standing rule, every Chapel for which contributions 
 have been solicited thus irregularly, or in places beyond 
 the boundaries of the Circuit to which such Chapel 
 belongs, must be excluded from the benefit of relief 
 from the Chapel- Fund. 
 
 CHAPEL-BUILDING COMMITTEE. 
 
 Q. XV. Who are the Chapel-Building Committee 
 (without whose previous consent, obtained in writing, 
 no Chapel, whether large or small, is to be erected, 
 purchased, or enlarged) for the ensuing year ? 
 
 A. 1. The Revds. George Marsden, Thomas Stead, 
 Charles Westlake, William B. Stephenson, John Lomas, 
 John Rattenbury, George Osborn, William W. Stamp, 
 John Kirk, George Turner, Joseph Roberts, and Francis 
 A. West; — with Dr. Wood, Messrs. John Burton, James 
 Heald, John D. Burton, John Fernley, William Allen, 
 John Lomas, Alexander Braik, John Makinson, George 
 Chappell, John Mayson, and T. Percival Bunting, of 
 Manchester ; and Messrs. Michael Ashton, and Thomas 
 Crook, of Liverpool. 
 
 2. The thanks of the Conference are hereby pre- 
 sented to the Rev. Joseph Taylor and to the Rev. 
 John Nelson, the Chairman and Secretary, and to the 
 other Members of the Committee, for their diligent 
 attention to the business brought before them during 
 the past year. The Rev. George Marsden is ap- 
 
107 
 
 pointed the Chairman of this Committee, and the Rev. 
 John Nelson the Secretary, for the year ensuing. All 
 letters on the subject of Chapels to be built, &c, should 
 be addressed (post-paid) to the Rev. John Nelson, 
 Stockport. 
 
 3. The Ministers, Trustees, 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 ap~ 
 probation 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." 
 
 4. The Conference directs, that all applications for 
 the consent of the Conference to the Sale of Chapels 
 shall be first examined by the Chapel-Building Com- 
 mittee, and shall through that Committee be presented 
 to the Conference. New Schedules are to be prepared 
 for the purpose by the General Secretary of the Chapel- 
 Fund and the Secretary of the Chapel-Building Com- 
 mittee, which may be had from Air. Mason. 
 
 5. 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 to their 
 means, from their Trust-Funds, in aid of the Chapel- 
 Fund. (See also Q. xiv., A. 8, p. 1-04, of these 
 Minutes.) 
 
 G. A copy of the conditions on which the Chapel- 
 Building Committee shall agree to sanction the erection, 
 purchase, or enlargement of any Chapel, shall be sent to 
 the Trustees of the said Chapel for insertion in their 
 Trust-Book ; and another to the Superintendent of the 
 Circuit, which he is to see entered in the Circuit-Book. 
 
 7. If in any Circuit it be deemed probable that the 
 erection, purchase, or enlargement, of a new Chapel will 
 be requisite after the Conference, and before the month 
 of April, the plans, specifications, and estimates of which 
 are not ready to be submitted to the Financial District- 
 Meeting in September, the Chairman of that Meeting 
 shall by letter state to the Building-Committee the 
 
108 
 
 opinion of the Meeting as to the general expediency of 
 such erection ; and in such cases the permission of the 
 Chapel-Building Committee shall be a sufficient warrant 
 for their procedure, that Committee paying special 
 attention to the particular examination of such cases 
 when the details shall come before them. 
 
 8. In addition to the regulation which requires that 
 V a copy of the conditions on which the Chapel-Building 
 Committee may agree to sanction the erection, purchase, 
 or enlargement of any Chapel " shall be sent to the 
 Chairman of the District, the Conference directs that a 
 Schedule be sent every year by the Secretary to the 
 Superintendents of Circuits, containing the particulars 
 of the cases in each Circuit, in which permission has 
 been granted during the year to build, purchase, or 
 enlarge Chapels ; and the Schedule shall be returned 
 to the Secretary immediately after the District-Meeting, 
 that he may be prepared to report to the General 
 Chapel Committee, and to the Conference, how far the 
 prescribed conditions have been observed or violated. 
 
 9. A Circular shall be sent by the Secretary of the 
 Chapel-Building Committee to the Superintendents and 
 Trustees, where the debt upon the Chapels reported to 
 the Conference greatly exceeds the amount allowed by 
 the Building Committee, requiring them to use every 
 effort to reduce such debts, and to bring them, as 
 speedily as possible, within the limits first proposed ; 
 and the Chairmen of Districts are required, at the en- 
 suing May District-Meetings,* to institute a most rigorous 
 investigation into the state of such Trusts, and specially 
 to report thereon at the ensuing Conference. 
 
 10. On receiving the Report of the Chapel-Building 
 Committee for the past year, the Conference specially 
 records its deep sense of the diligence and fidelity with 
 which that Committee, and especially its Secretary, have 
 discharged their several duties ; and are gratified to find 
 that a considerable improvement has taken place in the 
 practice of the Connexion generally, as to the erection of 
 Chapels. But the Report exhibits several instances of gross 
 disregard of our rules and regulations ; in some cases, by 
 violating the conditions on which the Building- Committee 
 
109 
 
 had sanctioned the erection of new Chapels ; and in others 
 by building, purchasing, or enlarging Chapels without 
 even having made application to the Committee. Much 
 experience has fully convinced the Conference, that it is 
 impossible to prevent embarrassments to Chapel-Trusts 
 but by a strict adherence to these rules ; and it is ascer- 
 tained that in consequence of those regulations having 
 been disregarded, in some instances of recently erected 
 Chapels, the Trusts are already involved in pecuniary 
 difficulties. The Conference therefore deems it neces- 
 sary to re-enact, and resolves most strictly to enforce, 
 all the cautionary laws which refer to the erection, 
 purchase, and enlargement of Chapels ; and directs the 
 attention of the Superintendents of Circuits, and the 
 Chairmen of Districts, especially to the following standing 
 rules : — 
 
 (1.) That any applications to the Building-Committee to 
 erect, purchase, or enlarge a Chape], shall be made by 
 furnishing specific answers to the questions contained in 
 the " New Form of Application," and, when desired, 
 forwarding the plans, specifications, and estimates to the 
 Committee ; and that before the work shall be com- 
 menced, two-thirds of the amount proposed to be ex- 
 pended shall have been promised, and at least one-half 
 of the proposed cost be lodged in some respectable 
 Bank. And it is also further required, that at least 
 one-half of the names of the gentlemen who are to act as 
 Trustees (their consent being previously obtained) shall 
 be forwarded with every such application to the Com- 
 mittee. 
 
 (2.) That no Minister shall engage to open a new 
 Chapel, or re-open one that has been enlarged, until he 
 has received a written assurance from the Superintendent, 
 that the conditions of the Chapel-Building Committee 
 have been faithfully observed. 
 
 (3.) The Chairmen of Districts are required to make 
 a full examination, in the May District-Meetings, of 
 the state of every Chapel built during the year, to make 
 an exact entry of the required particulars, and to forward 
 them to the Secretary of the Chapel-Building Committee 
 immediately after the District-Meeting, so that he 
 
110 
 
 may be able to present his report to the ensuing Con- 
 ference. 
 
 %* Proper printed forms of application to the Chapel-Building 
 Committee, for permission to erect new Chapels, &c, may be had 
 from Mr. Mason. 
 
 ERECTION OF CHAPEL-ORGANS. 
 
 Q. XVI. What does the Conference direct in refer- 
 ence to the introduction of Organs into our Chapels ? 
 
 A. 1. It having been found, that some cases of grievous 
 pecuniary embarrassment have arisen from, or been ag- 
 gravated by, the imprudent erection of Organs, the Con- 
 ference directs that a Form of Application be prepared, 
 which shall furnish an account of the state of the Chapel- 
 Trust, in order to its being ascertained how far it may 
 be prudent to sanction the proposed erection of an 
 Organ. 
 
 2. That, in addition to the precautions provided by 
 former rules and regulations, as published in our 
 Minutes, it is required that these Applications shall 
 receive the sanction of the Chapel-Building Committee, 
 previously to their being presented to the Conference. 
 
 CHILDREN'S FUND. 
 
 Q. XVII. What are the Resolutions of the Conference 
 respecting the Children's Fund ? 
 
 A. 1. The thanks of the Conference are hereby 
 presented to the District-Treasurers of the Children's 
 Fund throughout the kingdom, for their kind services 
 during the year ; and also to William G. Scarth, Esq. , 
 and the Rev. John S. Stamp, the General Treasurers, 
 and to the Rev. Samuel D. Waddy, the General 
 Secretary, of the Fund. 
 
 2. William G. Scartii, Esq., and the Rev. John S. 
 Stamp, are re-appointed the General Treasurers, and 
 the Rev. Samuel D. Waddy is re-appointed the General 
 Secretary, for the ensuing year. 
 
 3. All letters on business relating to this Fund should 
 
Ill 
 
 be addressed to the Rev. John S. Stamp, 14, City-Road, 
 London. 
 
 4. In order to carry into fuller effect the benevolent 
 principle unanimously recognised by the Ministers and Cir- 
 cuit-Stewards at their several District-Meetings assem- 
 bled in May, 1837, (see Minutes, Vol. VIII., p. 215,) it is 
 proposed, that not only the usual Quarterly allowances for 
 the children of Supernumerary and Deceased Ministers, 
 but also the usual and stated Annual Allowances for Edu- 
 cation to such children, from the age of eight to fourteen 
 years, shall in future be paid out of the Children's Fund, 
 subject to the existing regulations in these cases, — the 
 charge for educating those Sons of Supernumerary or 
 Deceased Ministers, who are or may be admitted into 
 either of our Schools, being however, as heretofore, chiefly 
 borne by the School-Fund. 
 
 5. In conformity with the standing Rule, which 
 makes provision towards the support of the children of 
 our Ministers, from a certain rate of contribution in 
 proportion to the exact numbers in society, it is agreed 
 that, for the ensuing year, One hundred and forty -four 
 members, being the same ratio as in the last year, shall 
 provide the allowance for one child. On this principle 
 the following statement has been drawn up, which 
 determines the number of Children's Allowances for 
 which each District is responsible in the year 1844-45, 
 and which must be divided by the September District- 
 Meeting, according to rule, among the several Circuits 
 included in it : —

 the several Districts, out of the Contingent Fund for 
 1845, after examining the probable income of that year,

 sities on the other hand, (taking into the account the in- 
 crease or decrease of expense in the several Circuits of 
 each District,) came to the following conclusions, which 
 are now printed, in conformity with the order of the 
 Conference, for the information and direction of the 
 Circuits, and of the September District-Meetings ; viz,, —

 working of that Fund ; and also to consider and decide 
 upon such peculiar cases of Supernumerary and Super-

 Ministers, as may be specially recommended by the 
 District-Meetings, in the ensuing year, for some occa- 
 sional relief from that Fund ?

 ference, early notice should be sent to the President, 
 who has authority to appoint substitutes. 
 
 Q. XX. Who are appointed the Treasurers and

 A. 1. James Wood, Esq., of Manchester, and the 
 Rev. John Scott, of London, are requested to continue

 2. The cordial thanks of the Conference are presented

 their services as Treasurers, and to the Rev. Thomas

 N.B. 1. The Chairmen of Districts are required to

 Burmantofts, Leeds) such parts of the Minutes of the 
 District-Meetings as relate to the Auxiliary Fund, tw- 
 
116 
 
 mediately after the May Meeting of their Districts ; in 
 order that he may have sufficient time, before he leaves his 
 Circuit to attend the Conference, to arrange and pre- 
 pare the Annual General Statement, as well as a List of 
 the special cases recommended to the consideration of 
 the Committee, and other necessary documents. 
 
 2. To promote the general advantage of the Fund, 
 and to enable the Committee, at their Meeting previously 
 to the next Conference, at once to determine the amount 
 to be divided among the several special claimants, the 
 Conference directs that the Private Subscriptions to the 
 Fund shall be collected every year during the first week 
 in June ; and that each Superintendent shall transmit

 %* In order to show to our benevolent Friends the 
 pressing necessities of the Methodist Ministers' Annuitant 
 Society, it is deemed right to state that the Members 
 have been under the necessity of reducing the amount 
 of annuities in the first or lowest class, from £19. 195. to 
 £10 each, and in the other classes on a just proportion. 
 
 Q. XXI. What are the Regulations to be observed 
 in collecting that part of the income of the Auxiliary 
 Fund which is raised by Donations in the Classes ? 
 
 A. 1. Each Circuit is to be responsible to the General 
 Treasurers for a yearly sum equal at the least, on a 
 general average of all the Societies included within that 
 
118 
 
 Circuit, to Sixpence per Member ; taking the numbers 
 for the Circuit, in all cases, as returned to the preceding 
 Conference, and published in its Minutes. 
 
 2. The Conference directs, that at the renewal of the 
 Society-Tickets during the September Visitation, every 
 Minister shall fully explain to each Class met by him 
 the nature and reasonableness of those claims upon their 
 justice and liberality, which were intended to be met by 
 the establishment of this Fund. He shall also give to 
 each Member a short printed Address, explanatory of 
 the same particulars. He shall then enter in the Class- 
 Book the individual subscriptions of the Members, as is 
 done in the case of the Yearly Collection at the March 
 Visitation. At the first or second Class-Meetings in 
 the month of October, the Leaders shall collect the 
 Subscriptions thus promised, and shall pay the same to 
 the Circuit-Treasurer, as hereinafter appointed. 
 
 3. In order to prevent, as far as possible, any increase 
 of the present large deficiency of the Auxiliary Fund, 
 the Conference directs that the Ministers of every 
 Circuit be enjoined, with the assistance of our lay- 
 friends, to do their utmost to raise its full proportion 
 in October next, by the Subscriptions in the Classes ; 
 and that, in any Circuit which shall then prove deficient, 
 Public Collections shall be made for such deficiency, if 
 not otherwise provided for. 
 
 4. In every Circuit, at the September Quarterly Meet- 
 ing, a Circuit-Treasurer for the Worn-out Ministers' and 
 Widows' Fund shall be appointed, whose office it shall be. 
 
 (1.) To meet the Class-Leaders not later than the 
 last week in October, in order to examine the books 
 in which the contributions of the Members shall have 
 been entered ; and to receive the sums which shall 
 have been paid, in the early part of that month. 
 
 (2.) To see, or send to, for the same purpose, those 
 Leaders who cannot attend the Meeting. 
 
 (3.) To confer with the Ministers and leading Friends 
 of the Circuit, if it should happen in any case that the 
 amount received in the Classes falls below the propor* 
 tionate sum chargeable on the Circuit, on the best method 
 of making up the deficiency. 
 
119 
 
 (4.) To remit the Circuit-contribution to the Dis« 
 trict-Treasurer for the Auxiliary Fund, as is the case 
 in respect to the Children's Fund ; — this remittance to 
 be made in the month of November, at the latest, 
 
 5. At the Financial District-Meeting, held in Sep- 
 tember, a District-Treasurer shall be chosen, to whom 
 all sums raised in the Circuits of his District shall be 
 paid, and who shall transmit such sums to the General 
 Treasurers in the month of December. These remit- 
 tances are to be addressed to the Rev. John Scott, 
 23, City "Road, London. 
 
 6. At the Annual District-Meetings held in May, when 
 the Circuit-Stewards are in attendance, the District-Trea- 
 surers shall report the sums which they have received 
 from the several Circuits ; — when arrangements shall be 
 made to make up the deficiency, if any, in the District, 
 and for the continued prosecution in the several Circuits 
 of this truly Christian measure, which the Connexion, 
 in the Centenary year, so unanimously recommended 
 to the adoption of the Conference.

 the Special Examination of all Candidates for our Min- 
 istry to sit before, instead of after, each Annual Session 
 of the Conference, it is now further directed that all 
 Candidates recommended by the respective District- 
 Meetings in May, shall be summoned to London at a 
 time to be fixed by the President, and subjected to an 
 additional examination by a Committee, consisting of 
 the President and the Secretary of the Conference, the 
 Tutors and House-Governors of both Branches of the 
 Institution, the Missionary Secretaries, and such other 
 Ministers as may be selected for that purpose from 
 their own number by the next Annual Meeting of the 
 London District. — Mr. Crowther and Mr. Barton 
 are appointed the Secretaries of this Committee. 
 
 5. The Ministers are directed to collect the Dona- 
 tions and Subscriptions which may have been promised 
 in their respective Circuits, and any others which they 
 may be able to procure, in aid of the Funds of the Theo- 
 logical Institution, during the first and second weeks of 
 the month of January, 1845; and to remit them to the 
 Rev. John Farrar, at the Wesleyan Theological Insti-

 ference on the subject of Wesleyan Education? 
 
 A. 1. The Conference receives with approbation and 
 pleasure the interesting and satisfactory Report of the 
 Committee, which has now been presented, and directs 
 that it be printed and circulated. 
 
 2. In pursuance of the recommendations contained 
 in the Fifth of the Resolutions passed at the General 
 Education Meeting held in London in November last, — 
 all which Resolutions, as revised, the Conference hereby 
 officially sanctions and adopts, and which shall be 
 printed as an ApiJendix to our Minutes of this year, (see 
 pp. 181 — 189,) — it is now directed,

 possible in the principal Chapels of all the Circuits in 
 which such Meetings have not been already held, for 
 raising further Contributions towards the sum of 
 
123 
 
 £20,000 proposed as the commencement of a General 
 Education Fund ; and that definite arrangements for 
 that purpose shall be made, and suitable Deputations 
 of Ministers and others be appointed, at each of the 
 ensuing September District-Meetings. 
 
 (2.) That One General Collection shall be made for 
 the same specific purpose, in all our places of Public 
 Worship, after the morning, and afternoon or evening 
 services, on the last Sunday in November, 1845.

 Chapel Fund shall be changed into that of the United 
 Chapel and Wesleyan-Education Fund ; and that 
 in the year 1845, and subsequently, at least during the 
 seven years contemplated in this Plan, One Moiety of 
 the future income of this United Fund shall be applied 
 to the original objects of the General Chapel Fund, and 
 the other Moiety shall be annually paid over to the 
 Treasurers of the Fund for General Educational pur- 
 poses. (See pp. 101 and 102 of these Minutes.) 
 
 3. The thanks of the Conference are presented to 
 James Hunter, Esq., and the Rev. Robert Wood, the 
 Treasurers of the Education General Fund; to the Rev. 
 Jonathan Crowther and the Rev. J. C. Pengelly,

 appointed to their respective offices for the next year. 
 
 4. The special thanks of the Conference are presented 
 to the Rev. John Scott, Ex-President, and to the Rev. 
 Dr. Newton, the Secretary of the Conference, for their 
 zealous and important services in the promotion of the 
 recent educational movement in our Connexion: and the 
 Rev. John Scott is appointed the Chairman of the 
 Committee of Education for the next year. 
 
 5. The state of Education shall be considered at each 
 Annual District-Meeting, as directed by the Minutes of 
 1S41 ; when the Circuit-Schedules on this subject shall 
 be carefully examined, and transmitted, with one General 
 District-Schedule, to the Secretaries, not later than the 
 15th day of June. (See Minutes for 1841, p. 123.) 
 
 G. The Committee shall consist of the following per*

 the week, in every town where a Minister has his stated 
 residence, — according to our ancient rule and practice. 
 
 2. The attention of our Ministers is again earnestly 
 directed to the necessity and importance of making 
 some effectual arrangement, in every town where a 
 Minister resides, for obtaining pastoral access, at stated 
 times, to the young persons of Methodist families be- 
 tween the ages of fourteen and twenty-one, with a view 
 to promote their spiritual welfare by personal instruc- 
 tion, exhortation, and prayer.

 VISITATION BY CHAIRMEN OF DISTRICTS. 
 
 Q,. XXVII. How may the experience, counsel, and 
 supervision of our Chairmen of Districts be rendered 
 more available in cases of special difficulty or emergency ? 
 
 A. Each Chairman is authorized to visit, officially, 
 any Circuit in his District to which he shall be invited 
 by the Superintendent ; or respecting which, after 
 consultation with the Superintendent, he shall be sat- 
 isfied that his timely assistance or intervention may be 
 necessary or salutary, for the preservation of Chris- 
 tian peace and order, or for the faithful and judicious 
 execution of our entire connexional economy and dis- 
 cipline. 
 
 MISCELLANEOUS RESOLUTIONS. 
 
 1. Recent Birth of a Prince. Resolved unani- 
 mously, That a dutiful and loyal Address, congratulating 
 Her Majesty the Queen on the birth of another Member 
 of her Royal Family, be presented to Her Majesty, on 
 behalf of the Conference ; and that the Address now 
 read be adopted, and signed by the President and 
 Secretary. 
 
 2. French and Romish Aggressions and Out- 
 rages in Tahiti. The subject of the late wanton ag- 
 gressions and cruel injuries committed by agents of 
 France in Tahiti, having been brought before the Con- 
 ference, it was resolved unanimously, — 
 
 (1.) That the Conference very deeply sympathizes 
 with the London Missionary Society in regard to the 
 severe sufferings and losses of the Protestant Mission- 
 
126 
 
 aries and Native Churches in Tahiti, and the grievous 
 wrongs endured by Queen Pomare, and by her Christian 
 subjects, from the oppressive and violent encroachments 
 of France. 
 
 (2.) That the further consideration of this important 
 case be referred to the Committee of the Wesleyan 
 Missionary Society, who are earnestly requested to give 
 such assistance and co-operation to the London Mis- 
 sionary Society, by memorializing the Government, by 
 petitioning Parliament, or otherwise, in order to obtain 
 redress and future security, as they shall judge ex- 
 pedient. 
 
 3. Minor District- Meetings. The following addition 
 to the Rule of 1793, on the constitution of Minor 
 District- Committees, is unanimously adopted by the 
 Conference ; viz, — 
 
 That, in any case in which the Chairman of a District 
 may deem it necessary to appoint a Minor District- 
 Committee, should either party refuse or decline to 
 choose two Ministers to act as members thereof, the 
 Chairman is empowered and directed to nominate them, 
 so that the number required by rule may be made up. 
 
 4. Candidates for Admission on Trial. Those 
 Preachers who are recommended for admission on Trial 
 shall preach in the presence of at least three of the 
 Ministers of the District-Committee, (at or about the 
 time of its Annual Meeting in May,) to be selected by 
 the Chairman, (exclusively of the Superintendents by 
 whom the Candidates respectively are proposed,) and a 
 special report of their Sermons shall be made in the 
 District-Meeting, and immediately forwarded to the 
 London Committee of Examination. 
 
 5. Mode of giving out Hymns. Complaints having 
 been made that, in some of our Chapels, the novel practice 
 has been introduced of reading and singing a whole 
 verse of the hymn at once, instead of our usual and 
 regular plan of giving out successive portions of verses, 
 the Conference hereby records its serious disapproval of 
 this innovation, as being inconvenient and injurious, es- 
 pecially to the poorer classes of our fellow-worshippers, 
 and not generally conducive to edification. 
 
127 
 
 6. Preachers on Trial to have proper opportunities for 
 receiving the Lord's Supper. The Conference having 
 been informed that in several Circuits the Preachers on 
 Trial have very rarely an opportunity for receiving the 
 Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, resolves that, in com- 
 pliance with a former injunction on this subject, the 
 Superintendents be required to make the necessary 
 arrangements in their Circuit-Plans, for securing to 
 their junior Colleagues proper facilities for partaking of 
 this holy Sacrament. 
 
 7. General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 
 Ireland. A truly fraternal and Christian Address to 
 this Conference, on behalf of that venerable Body, having 
 been received and read by our President, it was cordially 
 resolved, That a suitable Answer, assuring the Assembly 
 that the kindly views and sentiments expressed by them 
 are on our part perfectly reciprocal, be prepared, and 
 forwarded to their Moderator, the Rev. Dr. Brown. 
 
 8. New College Library of the Free Church of Scot- 
 land. An application having been made in behalf of the 
 Faculty of the College of the Free Church of Scotland, 
 for a donation from the Conference of the standard 
 publications of Wesley an Methodism, it is resolved unani- 
 mously, That a copy of each of these publications, and 
 of such other works published at our Book-Room as 
 are the property of the Conference, be respectfully pre- 
 sented to the Library of the Free Church ; and that 
 the President, the Rev. John Scott, the Editors, and 
 the Rev. William M. Bunting, be a Committee to carry 
 this Resolution into effect. 
 
 9. District- Meetings of 1845. It is resolved, that all 
 the regular Annual Meetings of the several District- 
 Committees shall be held between the 18th and 25th of 
 May, 1845, with the exception of the North Wales, 
 the Second South Wales, the Isle of Man, and the 
 Edinburgh and Aberdeen Districts. 
 
 10. Thanks to the late President and to the Secretary. 
 Resolved unanimously, (1.) That the thanks of the 
 Conference be respectfully and affectionately presented 
 to the late President, the Rev. John Scott, for the emi- 
 nently able, assiduous, and faithful manner in which, 
 
128 
 
 during a period in some respects of peculiar exigency, 
 he has discharged the duties of his office. 
 
 (2.) That the cordial thanks of the Conference be 
 presented to the Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Newton, for 
 his valuable services during the past year ; and for the 
 kindness, promptitude, and efficiency, with which they 
 have been uniformly rendered. 
 
 11. Official Sermon and Charge. Resolved unani- 
 mously, That the cordial thanks of the Conference be 
 presented to the late President, the Rev. John Scott, 
 for the excellent and impressive Sermon which, in the 
 course of his official duty, he delivered before the Con- 
 ference in the forenoon of Monday, the 5th of August ; 
 and for the judicious and appropriate Charge, addressed 
 by him, on Thursday, August 8th, to the Ministers 
 whose public ordination took place on the preceding 
 day ; and that he be affectionately requested to publish 
 the Sermon and Charge in such form as he shall judge 
 expedient. 
 
 12. Conference Public Services. It is agreed that 
 the following shall be the future Order of these Services; 
 viz., — (1.) On the first Sunday of the Conference, a 
 Sermon by the New President. (2.) On the first 
 Monday Forenoon, a Sermon by the Retiring President. 
 (3.) On the following Monday and Tuesday Evenings, 
 the commencement of the Ordination-Services, by hear- 
 ing from some of the Candidates an account of their 
 conversion, their present religious experience, their call 
 to the ministry, and their views and feelings in reference 
 to it. (4.) On the Wednesday Forenoon, (in a con- 
 venient Chapel, but different from that in which the 
 Conference holds its usual Meetings,) The Ordination, 
 followed by the administration of the Lord's Supper to 
 the Newly -Ordained, and to the assembled Ministers in 
 general. (5.) On the Wednesday Evening, in the Con- 
 ference-Chapel, the Charge, by the Retiring President. 
 
 13. The Christian Sabbath. The Conference regards 
 with deep sorrow and alarm various recent indications 
 of the growing disposition to a most mischievous and 
 sinful laxity in reference to this subject, especially in 
 connexion with Sunday Travelling by Railways, now 
 
129 
 
 unhappily sanctioned and encouraged, in certain cases, 
 by legislative authority. They earnestly pray that the 
 blessing of God may yet prosper the efforts made by 
 Sir Andrew Agnew, Bart., and by other eminent indi- 
 viduals, and Societies, to check and repress these sys- 
 tematic and perilous violations of the Fourth Command- 
 ment ; they exhort all our people to co-operate, to the 
 utmost extent of their power and opportunity, in such 
 truly patriotic and pious endeavours ; and they once 
 more entreat them to promote by their own example, 
 as well as by their influence and testimony, a better 
 observance of the Lord's Day. 
 
 14. Late Hours of Evening-Business in Shops, tyc. 
 The Conference, having had their attention invited to 
 this subject, cannot but feel that it involves, in various 
 ways, high moral and religious considerations, and has 
 a direct bearing on the intellectual improvement and 
 spiritual prosperity of a large and interesting class of 
 society, especially of respectable and well-principled 
 young men employed in shops. They therefore com- 
 mend the case to the calm and kindly regard of our 
 Members and Friends whom it may concern ; and will 
 greatly rejoice if, by moderation, quiet perseverance, 
 and united counsels, some means shall be devised for 
 remedying, in whole or in part, this obvious and serious 
 evil, — so as to secure the comfort and eventual advantage 
 of all parties, and increase, as far as may be practicable, 
 the opportunities of a profitable attendance on the week- 
 day ordinances of religion, and the appointed means of 
 
 STANDING ORDERS. 
 
 1 . Annual Return of Members in Society. The number 
 of Members in Society, and of persons admitted on trial, 
 as taken at the March Quarterly Visitation in each year, 
 and faithfully reported, by a presentation of the Circuit- 
 Schedules, at the District-Meetings, shall be the number 
 returned on the Minutes of the following Conference. 
 
 2. Liverpool-Minutes. Resolved, That the Resolutions 
 adopted by the Conference in the year 1820, and 
 
 f 5 
 
130 
 
 usually called the Liverpool Minutes, besides being read 
 and considered in every Annual Meeting of the District- 
 Committees, as our standing Regulations require, shall 
 also be read once a quarter at the Weekly Meeting of 
 Ministers in each Circuit, next following each Quar- 
 terly Meeting; and the Chairmen of Districts are directed 
 to make inquiry concerning the due observance of this 
 regulation. 
 
 3. Rule of 1797 concerning admission of Members, 
 Mistakes having occasionally arisen respecting the mean- 
 ing of the Rule of 1797, on the subject of the admission 
 of persons who are on trial as members of our Society, 
 the Conference deems it necessary to repeat the state- 
 ment, That it never was intended that the names of all 
 those who are on trial should be laid before a Leaders'- 
 Meeting for distinct and formal discussion, but solely 
 this, That if there be, in the opinion of a Leader, any 
 reasonable objection to the character and conduct of 
 any person who is on trial, such objection may be stated 
 by him ; and that if the validity of the objection be 
 established to the satisfaction of the Meeting, a Member's 
 Ticket shall not be given to the person, so objected to, 
 at that Quarterly Visitation. 
 
 4. Schedules and Circulars for Connexional Business. 
 As it is obviously desirable that the Committees 
 appointed by the Conference to manage the several de- 
 partments of the business of the Connexion, in the 
 intervals of its session, should be furnished with as much 
 statistical information as possible on the subjects of the 
 matters of business severally confided to their care, 
 the Conference authorizes them, through their appointed 
 Officers, to send, when they deem it expedient, suitable 
 Circulars and Schedules to the Superintendents or to 
 the Chairmen of Districts, as the case may require ; and 
 directs the Superintendents and Chairmen duly to return 
 such Schedules properly filled up. 
 
 5. Reading of the Pastoral Address in Society - 
 Meetings. The Superintendents are directed to appoint 
 a Special Society-Meeting to be held, at each principal 
 Chapel in their Circuits, either in the afternoon of the 
 Lord's day, or on some convenient evening of the week, 
 
131 
 
 for the purpose of having the Pastoral Address read to 
 the Society, and made the subject of suitable remarks 
 and exhortations. 
 
 6. In order to bring the state and progress of the 
 work of God in every Circuit distinctly and regularly 
 under the examination of the District-Meetings, copies 
 of the printed Circuit- Schedules, duly filled up, shall be 
 annually produced, examined, and considered. The Chair- 
 men of Districts are made responsible for the execution 
 of this order ; and shall bring such Circuit-Schedules 
 with them to the Conference, that they may be forth- 
 coming, if called for. (See also Minutes for 1831, 
 Q. xxv., Vol. VII., p. 67.) 
 
 7. District-Minutes. The Chairmen of Districts 
 are peremptorily required to procure three complete 
 copies of the Minutes of the several Annual and other 
 Meetings of the District-Committees, duly signed by the 
 Chairman and Secretary. One of these copies shall be 
 inserted in the District-Records ; a second shall be 
 reserved for the use of the Chairman and Financial 
 Secretary at the Conference ; and a third shall be 
 delivered to the Sub- Secretaries, on the Wednesday 
 preceding the Conference, and by them to the President 
 during the first week of each Conference, to be pre- 
 served, under his direction, as a document appertaining 
 to the Connexion. The several copies of the last class 
 shall be written on foolscap-paper, that they may be 
 annually bound together in one volume. 
 
 8. The Superintendents of those Circuits in which 
 the Conference may from year to year assemble, shall, 
 with the previous approbation of the President, (as 
 already required by rule,) complete and print, not later 
 than the 1 5th day of June in each year, a Plan of the 
 order of preaching in the principal chapels during the 
 session of the Conference ; and shall also, on or 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 Minister who attends the Con- 
 
132 
 
 ference shall be at liberty to make an engagement to 
 preach in any other Circuit, either on the Sabbath, or 
 on any other day, during the period appointed for the 
 meeting of the Conference, or of its various Preparatory 
 Committees, at the time for which his name shall be 
 inserted on the Conference-Plan. 
 
 9. The Chairmen of Districts are enjoined to make 
 particular inquiries at their Annual Meetings in refer- 
 ence to all the points of Discipline specified in the first 
 Article of the Answer to Q. xxviii., in our Minutes of 
 3825.

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS 
 
 CONFERENCE 
 
 THE METHODIST SOCIETIES. 
 
 Beloved Brethren, 
 
 " Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our 
 Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. — For God is 
 our record, how greatly we long after you all in the 
 bowels of Jesus Christ. And this we pray, that your 
 love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and 
 in all judgment ; that ye may approve things that are 
 excellent ; that ye may be sincere and without offence 
 till the day of Christ ; being filled with the fruits of 
 righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory 
 and praise of God." 
 
 We feel ourselves called upon, as a primary obliga- 
 tion, to offer our thanksgivings to God for his great 
 mercy to us and to you in the course of the past year. 
 That so extended a Connexion, consisting of a numer- 
 ous people, having, in some respects, various interests, 
 and liable to the usual diversities of judgment, on 
 minor subjects, as well as to the common passions of 
 human nature, has enjoyed perfect internal unity, in 
 the midst of discord and agitation around, is, we feel, 
 attributable only to the grace of that blessed Being 
 who is the " God of peace." 
 
 But, together with tranquillity in all our borders, it 
 has pleased the King of Zion, who is also the God of 
 salvation, to favour us with a considerable amount of 
 spiritual prosperity.

 On a review of the state of our Societies, in various 
 parts of the world, we rejoice to inform you that the 
 great Head of the Church has granted us a considerable 
 increase of members. The aggregate amounts to 
 Thirteen Thousand Two Hundred and Thirty-Two ; 
 namely, at home, Six Thousand Five Hundred and 
 Seventy-Four ; in Ireland, Four Hundred and Five ; 
 and on the Mission Stations, Six Thousand Two Hun- 
 dred and Fifty-Three. This is cheering on many 
 grounds. The fact that so many thousands have been 
 brought under religious influence, and constituted 
 members of our church communion ; but especially that 
 they are, in very many cases, as we hope, brought to the 
 faith of Christ and the salvation of the Gospel; is to 
 them and to us a ground of great consolation. We trust 
 we shall never lose sight of the primary design of Divine 
 Providence in the establishment of Methodism, namely, 
 the reconciliation and conversion of men to God ; and 
 when this is vouchsafed, we take it as an indication of 
 his gracious presence and blessing. Here we see the 
 highest results of Christianity. We consider our min- 
 istry and other ordinances as having produced their 
 legitimate results, only when sinners are brought to 
 enjoy the salvation of God. We cannot be satisfied 
 with general or collateral effects, whether displayed in 
 increased knowledge, in improved morals, or in mental 
 and social elevation. We recognise in the teaching of 
 the Gospel, as its first and highest end, the design to 
 regenerate and save the souls of men. 
 
 This urgent necessity of personal conversion from sin 
 to holiness, our system recognised in the beginning. 
 Indeed, it was established for this purpose. Its first 
 and, in some sort, its only object and aim, was to 
 bring lost sinners to God, to teach them the way of 
 salvation, and to present them " without spot, or wrinkle, 
 or any such thing," in the " presence of his glory." We 
 firmly adhere to the same great principle. The institu- 
 tions, ordinances, and sacraments of the Church we con- 
 sider to be of inestimable value, because they are divinely 
 ordained, and, no doubt, both intended and calculated to 
 administer grace to the believing people of God ; yet we 
 
138 
 
 are cautiously to guard against such views and opinions 
 of the provisional blessings of the New Covenant in 
 general, or of the grace of Baptism in particular, as 
 would weaken our convictions of the necessity of pardon, 
 regeneration, and holiness, by a personal faith in the 
 Son of God. 
 
 We feel ourselves called upon, moreover, to present 
 our praises to the great Head of the Church, who, after 
 having " descended into the lower parts of the earth " 
 to redeem and save the world, also " ascended up on 
 high, led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men," 
 for that He continues from his mediatorial throne to 
 call and anoint a succession of Ministers, to carry on 
 the work of salvation amongst us. Fifty-seven have 
 this year presented themselves for Ordination ; and in 
 the midst of much prayer, and after many examina- 
 tions, have been set apart for our holy ministry. 
 By a new arrangement, a forenoon was devoted to 
 this work ; and we doubt whether a more solemn, 
 holy, and glorious service has ever been witnessed in 
 Methodism. The beautiful and impressive Ordination- 
 Service itself seemed to be made doubly edifying 
 and impressive, by being imbued with life and power 
 from above. God was remarkably present ; the Holy 
 Spirit was poured out in rich and sanctifying effu- 
 sions ; and a large and devout congregation appeared 
 to be inspired with one common sentiment of awe, 
 delight, and love. It was appropriately followed by 
 the holy Sacrament of the Lord's Supper, in which all 
 the other Ministers present united with the newly- 
 ordained Brethren. The assembled Conference partook 
 largely of the hallowing influence, were universally im- 
 pressed with the sense of their great responsibilities, were 
 attracted towards each other in feelings of deep sym- 
 pathy and oneness of sentiment, and appeared to take 
 up their commission anew from the hand of their 
 Lord and Master, and to desire to spend and be spent 
 in nothing but in proclaiming our risen Saviour. The 
 young Ministers, set apart for their high office and work, 
 w r ere almost overwhelmed by the strength of their emo- 
 tions, by the awful position in which they stood, and 
 
139 
 
 by the religious feelings which were stirred in all the 
 depths of their hearts by the direct blessing of God, 
 as well as by the great and glorious prospects of trial 
 and of usefulness which that solemn occasion opened 
 to their believing minds. Altogether, it was one of the 
 most remarkable religious manifestations we have ever 
 had the happiness to witness ; and all hearts seemed to 
 say, " Master, it is good for us to be here." 
 
 We consider it not inappropriate, beloved Bre- 
 thren, to rejoice with you also, that, in common with 
 others, many of you have been favoured by the divine 
 goodness, in the course of the past year, with greatly 
 improved temporal blessings. The removal of the 
 depression which so long and grievously rested on the 
 manufactures, commerce, and industry of the country, 
 involving as it did great numbers of our people in 
 oppressive difficulties and cares, and the working-classes 
 in poverty and want, must be ascribed to the mercy 
 and beneficence of Divine Providence. As in the time 
 of their suffering we affectionately sympathized with our 
 brethren in their anxieties and privations, so we now 
 join with them in thanksgiving for the " good hand of 
 their God," which has been so extensively " upon them" 
 in their rescue and deliverance. 
 
 Let us, however, " rejoice with trembling." The 
 causes of future distress remain ; whether as arising 
 from the sins and errors of men, or the retributive 
 justice of God. Our race is as fully " alienated from 
 God through the ignorance that is in us" as ever; the 
 elements of evil, both moral and natural, possess as 
 much potency, however varied in their aspects, as in 
 any other age, or amongst any other people ; the com- 
 plicated interests and machinery of our manufacturing 
 and commercial policy, unsupported by the hand of 
 God, are as liable to break down as in any past circum- 
 stances of trial ; and the most judicious, patriotic, and 
 upright administration of public affairs cannot, under 
 many circumstances, remedy altogether our internal 
 evils, or shield the community against the calamities 
 often produced by events which take place in the most 
 remote parts of the earth. 
 
140 
 
 Do we refer to these things in order to excite distrust, 
 or to diminish the joys of returning prosperity? By no 
 means. We mention them for the purpose of warning 
 our brethren against being unduly elated in the midst 
 of present prospects of temporal comfort, or unduly 
 dejected in any future distress. All things teach us 
 that He who " is above all, and through all, and in all," 
 sovereignly disposes of his blessings on the rules of his 
 own universal, equitable, holy, and merciful providence ; 
 and that individuals and communities are called to cease 
 to trust in any "arm of flesh," and to seek their security 
 and happiness in God alone. 
 
 As the indulgence of worldly affections is, in the 
 nature of things, likely to become a temptation in 
 seasons of prosperity, as much as undue care and 
 anxiety in times of trial, we trust that our beloved 
 brethren will bear with us while we affectionately cau- 
 tion them against such affections. 
 
 That a great and appalling danger to the soul lies in 
 the " love of riches," is most apparent in the numerous 
 and repeated admonitions of the word of God. We 
 fear that this danger presses upon some of our people. 
 Whilst wealth creates the means of ease and self- 
 indulgence, and an elevated station becomes a temp- 
 tation to gaiety, dissipation,' and external splendour in 
 various forms, and, moreover, is admitted, by the general 
 sentiments and feelings of mankind, as a legitimate 
 claim to power, influence, and homage ; it is evident 
 that the united effect of all this must be dangerous 
 to the spiritual life. We are specially directed to guard 
 against this danger : " If riches increase, set not your 
 heart upon them." (Psalm lxii. 10.) " They that will 
 be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many- 
 foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruc- 
 tion and perdition. For the love of money is the root 
 of all evil ; which while some coveted after, they have 
 erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through 
 with many sorrows. But thou, O man of God, flee 
 these things ; and follow after righteousness, godliness, 
 faith, love, patience, meekness." (1 Tim. vi. 9 — 11.) 
 
 We venture, dear Brethren, to repeat to that portion 
 
141 
 
 of you, whom they may concern, the faithful warnings 
 of our venerable Founder on this subject, addressed to 
 the people of his day. — " Riches, either desired or pos- 
 sessed, naturally lead to some or other of these foolish 
 and hurtful desires ; and by affording the means of 
 gratifying them all, naturally tend to increase them. 
 And there is a near connexion between unholy desires, 
 and every other unholy passion and temper. "We easily 
 pass from these to pride, anger, bitterness, envy, malice, 
 revengefulness ; to an headstrong, unadvisable, unre- 
 provable spirit ; indeed, to every temper that is 'earthly," 
 sensual, and devilish.' All these the desire or possession 
 of riches naturally tends to create, strengthen, and in- 
 crease. And by so doing, in the same proportion as they 
 prevail, they ' pierce men through with many sorrows ;' — 
 sorrows from remorse, from a guilty conscience ; sorrows 
 flowing from all the evil tempers which they inspire or. 
 increase ; sorrows inseparable from those desires them- 
 selves, as every unholy desire is an uneasy desire ; and 
 sorrows from the contrariety of those desires to each 
 other, whence it is impossible to gratify them all. 
 And in the end they ' drown' the body in pain, disease, 
 destruction, and the soul in everlasting perdition. O 
 ye Methodists, hear the word of the Lord ! I have a 
 message from God to all men, but to you above all. 
 For above forty years I have been a servant to you, 
 and to your fathers. And I have not been as a reed 
 shaken with the wind. I have not varied in my testi- 
 mony. I have testified to you the same thing, from the 
 first day even until now. But ' who hath believed our 
 report?' I fear, not many rich ; I fear, there is need 
 to apply to some of you those terrible words of the 
 Apostle : ' Go to now, ye rich men ! weep and howl 
 for the miseries which shall come upon you. Your 
 gold and silver is cankered, and the rust of them shall 
 witness against you, and shall eat your flesh as it were 
 fire.' Certainly it will, unless ye both save all you can, 
 and give all you can. But who of you hath considered 
 this, since you first heard the will of the Lord con- 
 cerning it ? "Who now is determined to consider and 
 practise it ? By the grace of God, begin to-day ! " 
 
142 
 
 'While to some of our people we have judged that 
 these admonitions may not be unseasonable, we are, 
 however, perfectly aware, that to very many others, 
 probably to the majority of our members, they are 
 not at present strictly applicable. We are tenderly con- 
 cerned to learn, that great numbers among you have 
 not as yet so fully shared in the blessings of reviving 
 national prosperity, as we hope and trust that you will 
 hereafter, when that prosperity shall have become more 
 general and complete ; and that, at all times, large 
 classes of those who have placed themselves under our 
 pastoral care are found in the humbler walks of life, 
 and are often painfully perplexed, and severely tried, 
 by the straitness of their worldly circumstances. " The 
 poor " we, above most other religious communities, 
 "have always" with us ; and this we are so far from 
 regretting, that we account it " our glory and joy." 
 Among them we find many of our most pious, most 
 estimable, and, in proportion to their means, most liberal 
 members ; for God " hath chosen the poor of this world," 
 when truly devoted to himself, and living in his fear and 
 service, " rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which 
 he has promised to them that love him." These have 
 not " their portion in this life ; " but " the eternal God 
 is their portion," and will be " their exceeding great 
 reward." We assure all such of our affectionate sym- 
 pathy ; we earnestly recommend them to the active 
 charity of their more affluent brethren in Christ ; and we 
 fervently pray, on their behalf, that the God of provi- 
 dence and grace may " please to comfort and relieve 
 them, according to their several necessities, giving them 
 patience under their sufferings, and a happy issue out 
 of all their afflictions." 
 
 We now remind our Societies at large, that habitual 
 heavenly-mindedness, and a strict conformity to the 
 precepts of the Gospel, whatever be the varieties of our 
 outward lot and condition, have an important bearing 
 upon the general work and honour of our Saviour. 
 In a community, the character of a man cannot be 
 singly personal : it is relative : it affects all other 
 parties on whom the influence of his spirit falls, or 
 
143 
 
 whom his example and conversation may attract or 
 repel. Considerations arising out of the state of our own 
 souls ought, no doubt, to lead us first to seek for our- 
 selves all the blessed privileges of the Gospel, and stimu- 
 late us to a diligent use of the means of grace for this 
 purpose. But the state of the cause of God at large, 
 especially in the society of Christians to which we 
 immediately belong, is also intimately connected with 
 this subject. No one of you, dear Brethren, can 
 attend your Class, for instance, with punctuality and 
 diligence, and in the spirit of fervent piety, but you 
 must promote the general good. Your faith will lead 
 up that of others ; your fervour will kindle warmth 
 in the hearts of the cold and careless ; your sympathy 
 will bear up and encourage the feeble-minded ; your 
 charity and affection will cause you to consider the 
 miseries and afflictions of the poor and suffering ; and 
 your steadiness and constancy will form a centre around 
 which all the interests of your limited community will 
 rally. On the other hand, if you be remiss in this 
 duty, the evil cannot be confined to your own per- 
 sonal loss. With your own faintness, others must 
 grow faint ; in consequence of your coldness, others 
 will become lukewarm ; by your ruin and fall, others 
 may be lost. You may exclaim, " Am I my brother's 
 keeper 1 " In an important sense, certainly you are. If 
 the religion of Christ had been intended only to em- 
 brace a personal fellowship of the soul with God, a pri- 
 vate and hidden faith, an incorporation of all the senti- 
 ments, principles, and graces of the Christian life in the 
 individual believer, without any dependence, sympathy, 
 and communion with others : then the church-state would 
 not have been necessary, and the body of Christ, in its 
 corporate character, would not have been established. 
 It is one of the distinguishing glories of Christianity, 
 that our own good shall, in all cases, be interwoven with 
 the good of others ; so that we cannot be lively and 
 holy members of Christ's Church, but we must promote 
 the spiritual health and happiness of all our brethren. 
 This happy result must always follow the union, vigorous 
 piety, and sympathizing feelings of Christian societies, 
 
144 
 
 devoted to the pure and heavenly purposes of their high 
 calling. Then " speaking the truth in love, they grow 
 up into him in all things, which is the Head, even Christ ; 
 from whom the whole body, fitly joined together, and 
 compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according 
 to the effectual working in the measure of every part, 
 maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself 
 in love." 
 
 From the terms employed by our Lord and his Apostles 
 respecting the Christian Church, it is evident that its 
 membership, if faithfully improved, implies the highest 
 possible blessings, as well as great responsibilities. 
 But we now only speak of the relations and duties 
 of believers towards each other, and towards the 
 general community. Surely such relations should 
 induce the members of the spiritual church of Christ 
 to do all they can, to preserve it in purity, life, unity, 
 and love. Every individual should consider himself 
 as occupying an important and valuable position in 
 the body, and take care that his personal piety and 
 active zeal add something to the life and vigour of the 
 whole. In fine, if w r e may give expression to our con- 
 ceptions of what is fitting and obligatory in respect to the 
 internal state of our own churches, it may be given by the 
 use of two terms, — " Order " and " Life." Order, with- 
 out Life, would present the aspect of a people tenacious, 
 it might be, of their principles, and anxious to con- 
 centrate their resources and means with a view to defend, 
 guard, and protect themselves against the aggressions of 
 their adversaries, as well as to draw tightly around 
 themselves all the appliances of worldly security; but 
 without Life, ail this must fail. When churches are 
 decayed and rotten at heart, though they may preserve 
 their external form for a time, yet they cannot remain 
 long. However beautiful their outward services, if 
 they be unsustained by a divine power, and untouched 
 by the hand and Spirit of God, such churches must 
 soon either break down, or only enclose within their 
 embrace a community of men who are dead to God. 
 But, on the other hand, Life, without Order, must 
 generate foolish fancies, eccentricities, mischievous fanat- 
 
145 
 
 icism, or unmeaning and abortive efforts and labours, — 
 and expose the whole system, first to anarch}'', and then 
 to destruction. We earnestly exhort you, dear Brethren, 
 to cultivate the life of God, and then cheerfully submit 
 yourselves to the yoke of Christ. 
 
 We remind you, however, that the consolidation, 
 unity, and edification of the church, only embrace one 
 part of the duty connected with its fellowship. The 
 external operations of Christian societies on the world 
 are of the most important and responsible nature. 
 Nothing is more clear, than that the first churches 
 of Christ were founded under a deep sense of 
 the obligation to employ all their talents and re- 
 sources in extending the blessed Gospel, which, by 
 the divine mercy, they had themselves received. The 
 Methodist Societies, likewise, were all at first consti- 
 tuted on this evangelizing principle. Their piety, their 
 prayers, their gifts, their scanty property, were all con- 
 secrated on this altar. Each believer considered him- 
 self bound to devote himself to the service of his Lord, 
 in the use of all his means. His life itself was a 
 marked and open testimony for his Divine Saviour ; his 
 conversation was a witness to the truth he had embraced ; 
 his zeal and influence were exerted to support and ex- 
 tend the appointed means of salvation ; and his talents, 
 whether two or five, were diligently laid out for the 
 glory of Him from whom he had received them. By 
 united exertions " the small one became a nation." 
 
 We cannot hide it from ourselves, or from you, dear 
 Brethren, that all our Societies, whether few or numer- 
 ous, rich or poor, if they rest on the apostolic foundation, 
 must be, in like manner, evangelizing in their spirit and 
 labours. No Christian church can possibly hold the faith 
 of Christ, retain the life of religion, and give themselves 
 to prayer, and yet be indifferent about the perishing 
 souls around them. We do not mean by this remark 
 to inculcate a merely general concern for the prosperity 
 of religion, and the salvation of man ; but to enforce a 
 direct and individual exertion to bring those nearest to 
 us, with whom we are in constant contact, to know the 
 Saviour, and enjoy the blessings of his grace. This 
 
 G 
 
14 G 
 
 obligation to personal sympathy, prayers, and labours, 
 cannot be innocently evaded, and it cannot be dele- 
 gated. The Christian is not permitted, by the law of 
 Christ, to deposit his own individual responsibilities 
 with the general church. Though bound to act in 
 unison with it, he is obliged, on the terms, principles, 
 and conditions, of the religion which he professes, to 
 employ his utmost personal energies in order to further 
 the interests of the cause of Christ in the conversion 
 and salvation of man. 
 
 In this matter we have nothing new to propose. 
 Indeed, we are impressed with the conviction, that a 
 diligent and conscientious support of the existing insti- 
 tutions and means of grace amongst us, would much 
 more promote this great and desirable end, than any 
 new and irregular efforts. 
 
 The state of Congregations is evidently connected 
 with the work of God, and if not directly, yet in- 
 directly, with the conversion of men from sin to holi- 
 ness. The regular and punctual attendance of our 
 people, and their children and households, at the 
 house of God, the exertion of their influence and persua- 
 sion in bringing others under the preached word, and, in 
 fine, the keeping up a good and regular attendance on 
 the Public Ministry, are intimately connected with the 
 prosperity of religion. By irregular and infrequent 
 attendance on the services of God's House, an open and 
 discouraging stigma is fixed on the ministry ; discredit 
 is thrown on the place and the assembly ; and, so far as 
 these parties are concerned, the whole establishment 
 might speedily be broken up. Besides, the moral effect 
 of a good or a negligent regard of public worship, 
 must, in the nature of things, have a powerful influence 
 on the locality of the assembly. These minor con- 
 siderations are not to be despised. It is true, that, in 
 all respects, the salvation of sinners is the work of 
 God ; but the occasions, inducements, and attractions, 
 which lead strangers first to attend the ministry of the 
 Gospel, are usually such as are presented to their notice 
 by the general aspect of the cause of God, or the par- 
 ticular spirit and example of individual Christians. — The 
 
147 
 
 efficient use of Prayer-Meetings, too, we are per- 
 suaded, is highly conducive to the prosperity of 
 religion. We cannot bring this subject before your 
 attention in more appropriate terms than those em- 
 ployed in what are called the " Liverpool Minutes " 
 of 1820: — "Let us encourage public prayer-meetings, 
 especially those which are held at times which do not 
 interfere with our general worship, in the houses of our 
 friends, in different parts of a town or neighbourhood. 
 Such meetings have long been proved to be, when pro- 
 perly conducted by persons of established piety and 
 competent gifts, and duly superintended, valuable nur- 
 series for our congregations and societies, and means 
 of salvation to many who could not be reached at first 
 in any other method." 
 
 We rejoice to know that Tract-Societies are estab- 
 lished in connexion with most of our congregations, 
 and, by a diligent and systematic distribution, are doing 
 much good. We commend these exertions to your 
 increased and continued support. The Tracts pub- 
 lished at our Book-Room, and especially Mr. Wes- 
 ley's Sermons, we conceive, are eminently calculated 
 clearly to teach the way of salvation, and to arouse 
 the attention of the careless. The quiet and retired 
 perusal of one of these messengers of mercy, must 
 be highly influential in awakening the consciences of 
 those who could not be brought into contact with the 
 truth in any other way. The ignorance and inatten- 
 tion to sacred things ; the neglect of public worship and 
 ordinances, by so great a number of the people ; the 
 depraved and profligate habits of large masses, espe- 
 cially in populous towns ; together with the poverty 
 induced by intemperance and dissipation ; — render the 
 employment of this kind of agency especially valuable 
 and important. First thoughts on religion, and first 
 impressions of sin and danger, in the hearts of these 
 poor outcasts, are to be produced ; and, in many cases, 
 the most probable means of effecting this is, the circula- 
 tion of suitable Tracts. The charity shown them by our 
 friends, may, in many instances, be rudely spurned, and 
 that repeatedly ; but on some providential occasion, as 
 g2 
 
148 
 
 in the hour of deep poverty, affliction, or misery, when 
 stripped of all earthly help and hope, they may gladly 
 avail themselves of the affectionate sympathy and prayers 
 of the Distributer, and of the instructions and consolations 
 furnished by the Tracts themselves. This is found to 
 be the case, at least in some instances, in every place ; 
 and we must remind you, that he " who converteth a 
 sinner" — one sinner — " from the error of his way shall 
 save a soul from death, and hide a multitude of sin's." 
 Let not our brethren be discouraged in this " labour of 
 love." They are disseminating a leaven of truth which 
 is silently working in the corrupt mass ; and although 
 they may not be permitted to see great and splendid 
 results, God, through them, is speaking to the con- 
 sciences of many who are asleep in sin. Other means 
 must mature the work ; yet, in innumerable instances, 
 the first impulse has been given by the humble Tract. 
 And, moreover, whatever may be the amount of good 
 which is done, we have each a duty to perform ; and in 
 the discharge of our respective callings, whilst blessing 
 others, we are blessed ourselves. 
 
 By these and other agencies, dear Brethren, we ear- 
 nestly exhort you to fix your attention steadily on 
 the enlargement of the kingdom of Christ in your 
 respective neighbourhoods. Our primary calling from 
 the beginning, as we have before stated, has been the 
 spread of the Gospel, and the conversion of sinners to 
 God. Let us never lose sight of this : it is both our 
 strength and our glory. We would not judge rashly or 
 speak harshly of other parties in any section of the Chris- 
 tian Church ; but when we impartially look at the zealous 
 exertions now put forth in the inculcation of certain doc- 
 trines, of high and exclusive church-principles, and of an 
 ecclesiastical polity of a semi-Popish character, we think 
 that the necessity for our continued labours, as a people, 
 is not at all superseded, but greatly hightened, by 
 present circumstances. If a pure, spiritual, and scrip- 
 tural Christianity was being propagated, we should 
 greatly rejoice. But as the fact stands, the very success 
 and extension of the principles to which we refer, con- 
 stitute to us, and to all evangelical bodies, a loud call to 
 
149 
 
 more strenuous exertions. We are deeply penetrated 
 with the conviction, that, at no time, since it pleased 
 God to give us an existence as a religious community, has 
 there ever been a greater, or so great a necessity, as at 
 present, to provide means for the dissemination of the 
 good old doctrines of Methodism, which we believe to 
 be no other than those of the New Testament. To set 
 forth man's total ruin by sin, justification by faith only, 
 regeneration by the power of the Holy Ghost, and sanc- 
 tification by the Truth and Spirit of God, is always an 
 essential duty, but especially at present. Those who, 
 under other circumstances, might consider themselves 
 at liberty to live in comparative quietness and ease, are 
 in these times called to be the active and decided wit- 
 nesses of Jesus. We are aware that in many parts of 
 the country, you, our beloved people, are brought into 
 painful collision with this system. Means are assidu- 
 ously employed to seduce you from the faith which you 
 have embraced, and by which you have been saved ; you 
 are sometimes opposed or grievously annoyed in your 
 wonted exercise of the common rights and privileges of 
 free men ; some of you have suffered ejectment from 
 places of trust, holdings in land, and other property ; 
 and the poor have in certain instances been denied their 
 just share in public charities ; — and all this on the sole 
 ground of your being members of our Societies. But the 
 master-injury and suffering which some of you have to 
 encounter is, the barbarous denial of Christian sepulture 
 to your children. It should seem that the repeated deci- 
 sions of the Courts in our favour cannot always afford 
 protection against these injuries. The law of the country 
 is set at nought, on the plea of a superior spiritual prin- 
 ciple binding on the consciences of the Clergy who 
 thus act. We greatly deplore this state of things. It is 
 painful to us to be brought into collision with any of the 
 Ministers of the Established Church. It is our desire to 
 live in peace with all men, and to employ all our ener- 
 gies and resources in doing good, and saving souls 
 from death. We believe that, however contemned 
 and despised you may be, neither the nation nor 
 the world could behold the abstraction of Methodist 
 
150 
 
 agency, piety, and benevolence, from the cause of general 
 Christianity, without suffering a loss that could not 
 easily be made up ; and that, on our part, because we 
 hold our election to be from God, we cannot without 
 heinous guilt abandon our post. 
 
 On these grounds, we have always felt it our duty, 
 to defend ourselves against obstinate aggressors, and still 
 resolve to do the same. But we feel that these assaults 
 on our rights, and this opposition to our people, are, in 
 the nature of things, calculated to engender sentiments 
 and resentments, which, if not guarded against, are likely 
 to be injurious to themselves. We therefore entreat you, 
 clear Brethren, to imitate the example of the faithful of all 
 ages, and " return not railing for railing, but contrari- 
 wise blessing." In meekness and patience possess your 
 souls. Trust your injuries with God, who " sitteth upon 
 the water-flood," and learn to conquer opposition by love. 
 Remember who hath said to his disciples : " I say unto 
 you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do 
 good to them that hate you, and pray for them which 
 despitefully use you and persecute you : that ye may be 
 the children of your Father which is in heaven ; for 
 he maketh his sun to shine on the evil and on the good, 
 and sendeth his rain on the just and on the unjust. 
 Be ye therefore perfect, as your Father which is in 
 heaven is perfect." 
 
 We now call your attention to another subject 
 of great importance. You will undoubtedly recollect, 
 dear Brethren, that the last Conference passed Resolu- 
 tions on the subject of a more general and efficient system 
 of Education than at the time existed among us. (See 
 Minutes, Question XXVI., and the Pastoral Address of 
 1843.) By the Resolutions referred to, it will be seen that 
 the President was empowered to call together a Com- 
 mittee of Ministers and other gentlemen, from different 
 parts of the Connexion, to consider the best means 
 to be adopted for establishing an efficient and exten- 
 sive system of education for the benefit of the poorer 
 Members of our body. In accordance with this pur- 
 pose, a large number of friends met in London, in the 
 month of October ; and, after very mature deliberation 
 
151 
 
 and discussion, passed a series of Resolutions, which 
 we have deliberately sanctioned, and which we have 
 ordered to be re-published as an Appendix, with 
 these Minutes of our present Conference ; to the 
 effect, that it was incumbent upon us, as a people, in 
 addition to our extensive and incalculably useful Sun- 
 day-schools, to provide the means of an efficient Day- 
 school system of instruction, which should be founded 
 and conducted on purely Christian principles, and as 
 much as possible pervade the whole Connexion. We 
 rejoice that the question was taken up with great ardour 
 by our assembled brethren ; and that both the principle 
 itself, and the Plan for bringing it into execution, large 
 and comprehensive in its details, then submitted to 
 the Meeting, were adopted with great unanimity. 
 A regular Educational Department of our Work has 
 in consequence been organized, and we trust that 
 a suitable agency has been set at work to carry out 
 the design, though, of course, not yet completely or 
 universally operative. Various parts of the Connexion 
 have been visited by Deputations ; and it is grati- 
 fying, that in most places .our friends liberally re- 
 sponded to the call made upon them for pecuniary 
 aid. Hitherto, however, the preliminary sum of Twenty 
 Thousand Pounds, which was deemed necessary as a 
 General Fund, (preparatory to subsequent Local opera- 
 tions and efforts,) to furnish initial aid in fitting up 
 schools, providing suitable books and apparatus, prepar- 
 ing Masters, and other contingent expenses, has not 
 been fully realized. This, it is believed, only arises 
 out of the very partial manner in which such contribu- 
 tions have been applied for and obtained ; and the 
 Conference has no doubt that in the course of a rea- 
 sonable time this sum, and all other needful aid, will be 
 furnished by the enlightened liberality of our people. 
 
 This great measure, dear Brethren, calls for prompt 
 and decisive exertion on your part in two different ways, 
 — pecuniary help for your own localities, as well as for 
 immediately raising the requisite General Fund, — and 
 the resolution to avail yourselves, when necessary, of 
 the advantages about to be provided for the instruction 
 of your children. 
 
152 
 
 With regard to pecuniary support, permit us to say, 
 that the success of this invaluable arrangement must 
 mainly depend on the well-principled and zealous co- 
 operation of all our friends, and especially of the more 
 affluent Members of our Societies and Congregations. 
 The expenses attendant on the establishment of an ad- 
 equate number of schools, to meet the pressing wants 
 of the present time, as well as the demands of the future, 
 must of necessity require the charity and exertions "of 
 all our people. We doubt not, however, that a cause 
 so patriotic, as well as Christian, will meet with general 
 support : and we venture affectionately to recommend 
 that our friends in every place, if at all practicable, 
 should provide a school-room for themselves ; where 
 their children, and the children of those of their neigh- 
 bours who desire it, may receive a truly scriptural, 
 religious and useful training. 
 
 That all for whom these schools are designed, and 
 especially the labouring classes of our people, should 
 avail themselves of these institutions, when formed, is 
 both to themselves and to our churches a subject of 
 serious importance. We trust their own sense of the 
 value of so great a blessing as a religious and useful 
 education for their offspring, will, of itself, be sufficient 
 to induce their practical attention to it. And we hope, 
 that in all places where such schools are or shall be 
 established, a sufficient number of friends to the cause 
 may be found, who, though they may not need such 
 establishments for their own children, nevertheless will 
 feel it imperative to render them as efficient and useful 
 as possible, by their countenance, patronage, and super- 
 vision. The successful execution of this system will 
 of necessity require much attention and labour on our 
 part, as your Ministers and Pastors. We trust, that 
 in every part of the Connexion, a willing, enlightened, 
 and zealous co-operation with us in these exertions will 
 be accorded. By wise counsels, mutual confidence, 
 persevering labours, and liberal contributions, we trust 
 that, through the divine blessing, this great and most 
 useful measure will at length be carried out to its com- 
 pletion. 
 
153 
 
 We are willing to leave the result of these plans to 
 their own developement ; yet we anticipate from them 
 great blessings to our poor, to the religious character of 
 our Body, and to the community at large. Placed and 
 preserved in its right position, we cannot but consider 
 an efficient plan of Education as of great consequence 
 to ourselves as a section of the Christian Church. It 
 will lead, we hope, in numerous cases, to the preserva- 
 tion of the children of our people from gross immorality, 
 sow in their hearts the seeds of scriptural truth, teach 
 them the elements of Christian doctrine, as well as the 
 usual branches of general knowledge, produce in them 
 an attachment to the ordinances of religion, and, by the 
 conjoint influence of the truth of God and the grace of 
 the Holy Spirit, conduce to their true conversion. To 
 secure these important points, we earnestly recommend, 
 in connexion with all our educational plans, whether by 
 Sunday or Day Schools, that the Conference Catechisms 
 shall be used, and also that the children shall be regularly 
 taken to the public worship of God. The objection, that 
 the younger children cannot understand or fully enter into 
 all the designs of public worship, we consider as of little 
 weight. The great object at which we aim, in children 
 and youth, is, to fix good and Christian principles in' 
 their minds, to teach the conscience to discriminate be- 
 twixt good and evil, and to train them in habits of re- 
 ligion. Hence the school-room can never be a suitable 
 substitute for God's House ; the lecture cannot rightly 
 supersede the preaching of the Gospel by the recognised 
 Minister ; and the religious exercises of the school can- 
 not be safely put in the place of public worship. If we 
 desire to fix the principles of reverence for the sacred 
 Sabbath, — of the duty of attending public worship in 
 after-life, — and of the obligatory nature of the ordi- 
 nances and institutions of the Church of Christ, — we 
 must begin by regularly training our youth in the habit 
 of worship. These principles and this habit are of in- 
 estimable value. They may not imply conversion, but 
 in innumerable cases they would lead to it. The firm, 
 decided, immovable feeling, that duty demands an at- 
 
154 
 
 tendance at the house of God, would be of more value 
 than a thousand flighty and vain theories on the subject 
 of human happiness and advancement. Not that we 
 fail to desire the intellectual, moral, and temporal ad- 
 vancement of the children of our people. This, we are 
 persuaded, will be best secured by the system now in 
 course of establishment. But we are sure that this can- 
 not be generally the case, except by the influence and 
 agency of religion. All that the children of the labour- 
 ing classes acquire in the school in the way of merely 
 intellectual cultivation, is usually drowned in the seduc- 
 tions and vices of succeeding years, if such a result be 
 not prevented by the power of divine grace. We hope 
 that by keeping the religion of our schools at the foun- 
 dation of all our exertions, and in avowed and decided 
 connexion with them, throughout every part of our 
 educational system, we shall not only succeed in training 
 our youth in the fear of God, but also in teaching them 
 such branches of useful knowledge as will most effectually 
 advance their comfort and interest in this world. 
 
 Our solicitude for your religious w r elfare leads us 
 now to caution you affectionately against an evil which, 
 we fear, is becoming too common, and the injurious 
 consequences of which many have had to lament ; — 
 we mean the connecting yourselves for purposes of 
 secular interest with those who are strangers to piety. 
 We know that it is prudent and honourable to provide, 
 while in health and prosperity, for those seasons of 
 affliction and distress to which all men are liable ; but 
 it cannot be advisable, even for such an object, to join 
 Societies where the tone of your piety may be lowered, 
 and your love for God's ordinances and people dimi- 
 nished, through that frequent and familiar intercourse with 
 irreligious men which the rules of those Societies require. 
 And it may well be doubted whether such associations 
 are likely to prove ultimately beneficial, even in a tem- 
 poral point of view. The history of Lot is full of 
 admonition on this head : and we remind you also of 
 the case of Jehoshaphat ; who, when he had " joined in 
 affinity with Ahab," was thus reproved by a Prophet : 
 •' Shouldest thou help the ungodly, and love them that 
 
155 
 
 hate the Lord ? Therefore is wrath upon thee from the 
 Lord ; " and whose unhallowed alliance was punished 
 with great secular loss. Assured as we are that He 
 whose never-failing providence ordereth all things in 
 heaven and earth, administers his government on un- 
 changeable principles, we cannot suppose that these 
 warnings have become obsolete ; and we should there- 
 fore deem it better for you to suffer pecuniary incon- 
 venience, if necessary, than to incur the liability to 
 spiritual loss. 
 
 More especially do we wish to apply these cau- 
 tionary remarks to those associations whose members 
 are required, as the basis of their fellowship, to bind 
 themselves by an oath of secrecy, administered, in 
 many instances, to parties who have had no opportunity 
 whatever of judging beforehand of its contents. Such 
 a proceeding deserves the strongest reprobation. It is 
 directly opposed to the requirements of our holy reli- 
 gion on many points of Christian duty ; and we cannot 
 suppose that any of our people would knowingly and 
 willingly connect themselves with Societies of this class. 
 If this should unhappily have been the case, we urge 
 them to escape with all speed from the snare in which 
 they have been taken, and henceforth to " have no 
 fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness." 
 
 On some other topics, which have been suggested to 
 us, in the course of our Session, it was in our hearts 
 to have addressed you ; but circumstances forbid 
 any further enlargement. We conclude by solemnly 
 and earnestly pressing on your universal attention a 
 subject, which possesses an importance paramount, 
 in our judgment and feeling, to every other on which 
 we have written or could write to you ; — we mean 
 the indispensable necessity, in order to our perso- 
 nal and connexional prosperity, of seeking by earnest 
 and united prayer a renewed and general and copious 
 outpouring or the Holy Spirit of God, upon Mi- 
 nisters and people, upon individuals, families, congrega- 
 tions, and churches. We have a more than ordinarily 
 deep and affecting conviction, that such an outpouring 
 of the Spirit's convincing, converting, and sanctifying 
 
156 
 
 influences, (not to supersede, in any wise, but to ac- 
 company and bless, the appointed teaching and discpline 
 of the Gospel,) is the "one thing needful," at the 
 present period, without which nothing else, however 
 valuable in itself, can avail. This, dear Brethren, is 
 now, in our view, the great desideratum, the blessing 
 most to be desired and sought, — for our own churches, 
 for all other sections of the Church Universal, for the 
 support, extension, and success of Missionary Societies, 
 for our country, and for the world at large. If this 
 were vouchsafed, every interest and department would 
 at once partake the benefit, and feel the quickening 
 impulse. It would counteract all forms of error and 
 sin ; destroy all lukewarmness ; compose all unholy 
 strifes ; reconcile all hearts to God and to each other ; 
 rekindle our piety, benevolence, and zeal ; and furnish 
 us for every good word and work. Brethren, pray for 
 this, in the name of the great Mediator ; and may the 
 answer of peace and blessing be richly, speedily, and 
 everywhere vouchsafed ! 
 
 11 Now unto Him that is able to keep you from 
 falling, and to present you faultless before the presence 
 of his glory with exceeding joy, — to the only wise God 
 our Saviour, be glory and majesty, dominion and 
 power, both now and ever. Amen."

THE ANNUAL ADDRESS 
 
 OF THE 
 
 IRISH CONFERENCE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE. 
 
 Very dear Fathers and Brethren, 
 
 Whilst according to our usual custom we again 
 address you in assembled Conference, we desire to do 
 so under a deep sense of gratitude to Almighty God, 
 who has sustained and strengthened us during another 
 various year, crowned our labours with his blessing, and 
 brought us together once more to see each other's face 
 with joy, in health and peace, and to blend our prayers 
 and praises before his gracious throne. 
 
 The intercourse we enjoy in these Annual Meetings, 
 as a part of our wise and excellent economy, we feel to 
 be increasingly beneficial, in preserving and promoting 
 our brotherly affection, confirming our mutual purposes 
 of devotedness to God, and strengthening our hands in 
 his holy service, " forasmuch as we know that our 
 labour is not in vain in the Lord." 
 
 In our relation to you we heartily rejoice. Every 
 succeeding year strengthens the bonds of our Christian 
 union, and augments our obligations for your continued 
 necessary and generous aid, so kindly afforded to us in 
 all our exigencies and difficulties. The sentiments of 
 fraternal regard, so affectionately expressed in your 
 Address, we have received with much pleasure and 
 thankfulness; and the tidings communicated as to the 
 success with which your labours have been blessed 
 throughout the wide field of your operations, are to us 
 occasion of delight and joy. We are the younger 
 
158 
 
 branch of the great Wesleyan family; but your strength 
 is ours, and we magnify the grace of God in you. 
 
 We have no doubt you will learn with pleasure that, 
 notwithstanding the numerous discouragements under 
 which we have had to pursue our labours in this our 
 beloved, yet, in many respects, unhappy country, we 
 have also been blessed with some degree of success. 
 After supplying deficiencies occasioned by death, and 
 other painful causes, besides the loss of Six Hundred 
 and Twenty-Two members of our body by emigration 
 to foreign lands, we have still a net increase of more 
 than Four Hundred above the returns of the preceding 
 year. These facts, combined with the increasing peace 
 and harmony of our Societies, and the steady improve- 
 ment of our Connexional Institutions and Funds, are 
 encouraging indications that God is still in the midst 
 of us. 
 
 We participate in the mournful feeling with which 
 you refer to the removal by death of such men as 
 the Rev. Richard TrefFry, the Rev. Thomas Galland, 
 and that distinguished and apostolic Missionary of 
 the Cross, the Rev. John Waterhouse. We too have 
 had our bereavements: — three of our Brethren have, 
 during the year, entered into their Master's joy ; 
 namely, William Hamilton, one of the most diligent, 
 persevering, and successful of our early Irish Mis- 
 sionaries, and, for many years, the companion and 
 fellow-helper of the indefatigable Ouseley ; — the vene- 
 rable Thomas Brown, full of days and full of blessings ; 
 — and John Farrell, a devoted and promising young 
 man, in the ninth year of his ministry. Four of our 
 aged and infirm Brethren have been compelled to retire 
 from our itinerant work. Whilst we have thus, each 
 succeeding year, to mourn over the removal from our 
 ranks of some of our Brethren, w T e have also to rejoice 
 in the Lord, that He with whom is the residue of the 
 Spirit, continues to raise up a supply of labourers for 
 our arduous work. This year Six young men " of good 
 report," after due examination, have been received on 
 our Reserve List. Six others have been appointed to 
 Circuits; of whom, three have enjoyed the advantages of 
 
159 
 
 your invaluable " Institution ;" and all bid fair to serve 
 the interests of the Church, and " their generation 
 according to the will of God." Eleven young Brethren, 
 who had completed the term of their probation, and 
 after a particular and careful examination, in which 
 they afforded entire satisfaction to the Conference, and 
 " witnessed a good confession" before a vast assembly, 
 were fully set apart to the sacred office by the imposition 
 of hands. The Ordination-Services were held in our 
 large and beautiful Centenary Chapel, and were pe- 
 culiarly solemn, interesting, and impressive. 
 
 Much of our anxious attention has been directed 
 to the important subject of Education. We deeply 
 participated in your joy and gratitude on the withdrawal 
 of the public measure referred to in your Address ; — a 
 measure so injurious in its tendency, and to which you 
 offered such prompt and praiseworthy opposition. With 
 you we feel " the duty and necessity of extending more 
 generally, a sound, religious, and useful Education ;" 
 and while we have, with pleasure and admiration, heard 
 of the decided steps which you have already taken for 
 the furtherance of this important object, it is our regret, 
 that, owing to many circumstances, which our Repre- 
 sentatives can explain to you, we have as yet been able 
 to accomplish but little in meeting the claims of our 
 children and youth throughout this land. Such ar- 
 rangements have been made, however, for bringing those 
 claims more fully before our Lay -Friends, as, we trust, 
 will, under the Divine blessing, be attended with favour- 
 able results. At the same time, we rejoice to say that 
 our Irish Missions, and Mission-Schools, to which a few 
 have been added in the last year, are in a state of 
 increasing vigour and prosperity. This we attribute, in 
 a great measure, to the faithful and judicious super- 
 intendence of your respected Agent, the Rev. W. 
 O. Croggon, — the continuance of whose invaluable ser- 
 vices amongst us we unanimously solicit. 
 
 The Missionary Deputation with which you favoured 
 us, consisting of the Rev. Messrs. W. B. Stephenson, 
 Boyce, S. D. Waddy, Hodson, and Fox, was highly 
 acceptable and efficient. The Missionary spirit con- 
 
160 
 
 tinues to extend its influence among our people; in 
 proof of which we advert with pleasure to our Mis- 
 sionary income, which, including Five Hundred Pounds 
 of the Juvenile Christmas Offerings, shows an increase 
 of Seven Hundred and Twelve Pounds in the past, 
 over that of the preceding year. 
 
 The appointment of your highly-esteemed President, 
 the Rev. John Scott, to preside in our Conference, has 
 been to us equally satisfactory and profitable. The 
 efficient manner in which he discharged the duties of 
 his office cannot be soon forgotten. 
 
 The welcome presence and valuable services of the 
 Rev. Dr. Newton, our long-known and much-loved 
 friend, have, as usual, greatly subserved our interests, 
 and contributed to our pleasure and profit. And the 
 seasonable counsels and suggestions, the Missionary 
 information and the public ministry, of our beloved 
 brother, the Rev. John Beecham, have also rendered us 
 essential service. 
 
 We had hoped, agreeably to your appointment, to 
 have seen amongst us our cordial and ever highly- 
 esteemed friend, the Rev. Dr. Bunting. His absence, 
 however, has been satisfactorily accounted for; and 
 while we earnestly pray for his continued health, we 
 look forward with pleasure to the advantage of his 
 presence at our next Conference. 
 
 We have deputed our beloved brethren, the Rev. 
 Messrs. William Stewart, Thomas Waugh, and John 
 Nelson, as our Representatives to attend your ensuing 
 Conference. 
 
 And now, very dear Fathers and Brethren, after the 
 business of a Conference in which a spirit of perfect 
 unity and Christian love prevailed, we are about re- 
 turning to our various spheres of labour. Our one 
 desire is so to live and preach "the Gospel of the 
 grace of God," that we may effectually " fulfil the 
 ministry which we have received of the Lord Jesus," 
 and at length " finish our course with joy." But 
 we are deeply sensible, that all our purposes and efforts 
 can be of no avail, without the Divine guidance and 
 blessing. And, such are the difficulties with which we 
 
161 
 
 have to contend in this divided and distracted land, that 
 we are more than ever impressed with the conviction, 
 that nothing short of a pentecostal effusion of the 
 Holy Ghost can remove those obstinate and manifold 
 hinderances which obstruct the progress of " the glorious 
 Gospel of the blessed God." Whilst, therefore, we feel 
 unfeignedly thankful, for all the encouragement and aid 
 you have hitherto uniformly afforded us, in the pro- 
 secution of our arduous toils, we now, at this special 
 crisis, " beseech you," Fathers and Brethren, " for the 
 Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, 
 that you strive together with us in your prayers to God 
 for us;" — in which also we entreat the intercessions of 
 the whole Wesleyan Community in your favoured land, 
 until we are favoured with such an " outpouring of the 
 Spirit from on high," that the word of the Lord shall 
 have "free course and be glorified." " Then judgment 
 shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain 
 in the fruitful field ; and the work of righteousness shall 
 be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and 
 assurance for ever."

 THE ANSWER 
 
 OF THE 
 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE 
 
 TO THE 
 
 ADDRESS OF THE IRISH CONFERENCE. 
 
 Dearly beloved Brethren, 
 
 Being, by the good providence of God, permitted to 
 assemble again in Conference, and having received, with 
 joy your Christian and fraternal greetings, we earnestly 
 
163 
 
 pray that grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father, 
 and the Lord Jesus Christ, may continue to rest upon 
 you, and upon the flock over which the Holy Ghost 
 hath made you overseers. 
 
 We welcome with open hearts your faithful Repre- 
 sentatives, the Revds. William Stewart, Thomas Waugh, 
 and John Nelson, as brethren beloved, — who, while 
 they have secured our heightened esteem, fully justify 
 the confidence which you repose in them. The ample 
 representations of your affairs which they have laid 
 before us, taken in connexion with the statements con- 
 tained in your very acceptable Address, have increased 
 our joy, excited our sympathy, and drawn forth our 
 prayers in your behalf. Our union with you is an 
 occasion of great glorying to us ; and we are fully 
 determined to stand by you, and to make common 
 cause with you, while you labour to repress error, and 
 to spread truth and holiness through the length and 
 breadth of your distracted, but deeply interesting, 
 country. Methodism, which we believe to be one of 
 the purest, simplest, and most efficient forms of 
 Christianity, that the world has known since the apos- 
 tolic times, is our common inheritance ; and we are 
 equally interested with you in its preservation and ex- 
 tension. It is a sacred trust committed to us by God ; 
 and which he requires us to administer for the benefit 
 of our race. Jts spirit is catholic, its doctrines are 
 evangelical, and its discipline is equally adapted to bless 
 a village, and to pervade the world. 
 
 We rejoice to know that the bands of your disci- 
 pline are unrelaxed ; that your financial difficulties are 
 diminished ; that you were never more determined to 
 preach our distinguishing doctrines ; and that, notwith- 
 standing the reduction of your numbers by emigration, 
 your Societies continue to increase. The success with 
 which God has been pleased to crown our labours, at 
 home and abroad, demands our most ardent gratitude. 
 In Great Britain, our increase has been Six Thousand 
 Five Hundred and Seventy-four ; and on our Foreign 
 Mission Stations, Six Thousand Two Hundred and 
 Fifty-three ; which, with the increase in your country, 
 
1G3 
 
 makes a total of Thirteen Thousand Two Hundred 
 and Thirty-two. 
 
 While we sympathize with you in the grief which 
 you feel at seeing the greater part of your population 
 wholly given to the idolatries of Rome, we rejoice that 
 your hearts are undismayed by the threats and vauntings 
 of your gigantic foe ; and that, in religious belief and 
 moral purpose, you are as the heart of one man. We 
 regard the system of Popery as opposed to the honour 
 of God, the Headship of Christ in his Church, and the 
 civil and religious rights of mankind. It corrupts the 
 Gospel, and neutralizes the law: it neither renders 
 to Caesar the things which are Caesar's, nor to God the 
 things which are God's. At home and abroad, — in all 
 quarters of the globe, — under all forms of civil govern- 
 ment, and among all grades of society, it is, at this day, 
 struggling for supremacy ; and it seeks this, only as 
 preliminary to the establishment of its ancient and en- 
 thralling despotism. To oppose it, by the circulation 
 of the Scriptures, by the faithful preaching of the 
 Gospel, by the power of united prayer, and by all the 
 modes of a fervent, loving, and enlightened zeal, is the 
 duty of all who love God, and their fellow-men. Nor shall 
 such efforts be unavailing. Truth is great, and it will 
 prevail. " The man of sin" is doomed to destruction : 
 the " mystery of iniquity" shall, ere long, be finished. 
 
 It affords us much pleasure to know, that in your 
 Conference Services, you found the " glorious Lord as a 
 place of broad rivers and streams ;" and we also, since 
 we met, have been favoured with signal manifestations 
 of His powerful presence in our assemblies. Our busi- 
 ness, throughout, has been transacted in the spirit of 
 harmony and of brotherly love ; and on no former occa- 
 sion have we felt more entirely one in mind and heart. 
 The preaching of the word has been with power ; and 
 in our more devotional services, the most experienced 
 have been instructed, the most faithful have been 
 covered with lowly shame, and the most devout have 
 enjoyed unwonted nearness to their covenant- God. We 
 have all felt our utter insufficiency for our great work, 
 and, abjuring all self-dependence, we have endeavoured 
 
164 
 
 to lay hold on the strength of the Lord. Our conviction 
 of the necessity of personal holiness, in order to minis- 
 terial usefulness, has been strengthened, and we have 
 resolved not to rest till we are " filled with the fulness 
 of God." 
 
 The impressive allusion which you make to the ne- 
 cessity of divine influence, to render your ministry 
 effectual to salvation, finds a deep response in our souls. 
 If any one lesson has been more indelibly imprinted on 
 our hearts than another, it has been the utter inefficiency 
 of all human instrumentalities, without the superadded 
 blessing of the God of all grace. We believe that 
 nothing short of a copious and extensive outpouring of 
 the Holy Ghost, producing a general revival of religion 
 in our congregations, can enable us to go in at the great 
 and effectual doors which God has set before us, at home 
 and abroad ; or to discharge those weighty obligations 
 under which he has laid us, by assigning us our exist- 
 ence in such an important era of the world's history. 
 To do our duty at the present juncture, we need to have 
 enkindled in us that fervid, absorbing, and consuming 
 zeal which glowed in the martyrs ; and which led the 
 Apostle to say, " Neither count I my life dear to myself, 
 so that I might finish my course with joy, and the 
 ministry which I have received of the Lord Jesus, to 
 testify the Gospel of the grace of God." We interpret 
 the tokens of the divine presence vouchsafed to us since 
 we came together, as a sure omen of future blessings, 
 and of abounding prosperity ; and if we continue in 
 prayer and supplication with one accord, the Spirit shall 
 doubtless be poured out from on high, and blessings 
 shall be given such as there shall not be room enough 
 to contain. 
 
 We have admitted into full connexion Fifty-seven 
 young Ministers, — sound in the faith, — whose profiting, 
 in practical and experimental piety, has appeared unto 
 all; and much prayer has been offered up, that they 
 may " obtain mercy of the Lord to be faithful." The 
 season of their ordination was a means of grace, not 
 only to them, but to their fathers and brethren in the 
 ministry. The universal resolve seemed to be, that 
 
165 
 
 " Holiness unto the Lord," should be our motto ; — our 
 one great business, the salvation of souls ; — and the con- 
 centrated theme of our ministry, " Christ crucified." 
 The blessedness of that season of power can never be 
 forgotten by any who enjoyed it ; and were we only 
 to retain the anointing then received, we might say to 
 every form of opposition, " Who art thou, O great 
 mountain ! Before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a 
 plain." 
 
 It affords us great pleasure to learn that you also 
 begin to reap the beneficial effects of our Theological 
 Institution. The times in which we live require an intel- 
 ligent, as well as a godly, ministry ; and we give glory 
 to God for enabling us to enrich so many of our proba- 
 tioners with an increase of ministerial preparation. 
 
 We rejoice that the subject of Education continues to 
 engage your serious attention ; and we hope that no 
 difficulties will be able to daunt you, till you shall have 
 established one, or more, well-conducted Week-day 
 Schools, under able and decidedly religious Masters, in 
 each of your Circuits. We are fully convinced, that not 
 only do the children of the poorer and working classes 
 greatly need an improved religious and moral training, 
 but that the continued efficiency of our Sunday-schools, 
 the increase of our congregations, and the permanent 
 prosperity of our Chapel-Trusts, depend on the promp- 
 titude and zeal with which we embark in, and prosecute, 
 this great work. The tide now flows, and it will bear 
 us on, if we row with it; but if we sit still till it shall 
 turn, not only will our difficulties be doubled, but our 
 ultimate success will be greatly circumscribed. The 
 Educational Scheme framed by our Committee in 
 London has been carefully reviewed, and has received 
 the unanimous approval of Conference ; and we have 
 reason to believe, that it will meet with the hearty 
 concurrence of our people, now that it has been incor- 
 porated with the body of our general discipline. 
 
 The increase of scholars in our Sunday and Week-day 
 schools, during the past year, is upwards of Twenty- 
 Thousand. One Hundred and Forty-three additional 
 Daily Schools have been commenced, with fair prospects 
 
166 
 
 of success ; and about Thirteen Thousand Pounds have 
 been already contributed to the General Educational Fund. 
 All this is cause for thankfulness ; but our joy is mode- 
 rated by the facts, that we have only made a beginning 
 in a work which must extend through many years, 
 which calls for a much larger pecuniary outlay than we 
 yet can afford, and to the paramount importance of which, 
 many of our people are not yet fully alive. It is a 
 favour from the Lord, to be able at once to estimate the 
 value of a religious or moral principle, though its latent 
 and far-distant results be but partially developed: and 
 the Princes of our Israel, on both sides of the Channel, 
 must not be discouraged, though their liberal offerings 
 should not, for some time to come, be irritated by their 
 less enlightened brethren. When our Missionary enter- 
 prise commenced, it was supported only by a small 
 minority of our members ; whereas, at this day, the 
 whole of our community, with only a few inconsiderable 
 exceptions, is combined to hasten the blissful period 
 when the Son shall have " the Heathen for an in- 
 heritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for a 
 possession." We regard the religious and moral train- 
 ing of the rising generation, not only as a kindred work, 
 but as one which will prove subsidiary to the former ; 
 and which, we hope, will, ere long, meet with an 
 equally generous and extended support. To accomplish 
 this, however, it will devolve on us to give to the 
 people of our charge " line upon line," on the principles, 
 obligations, and advantages, involved in this great 
 question. With these views, we look forward with 
 high expectation to the opening of your Normal School 
 in Dublin ; and hope soon to hear that it is in vigorous 
 and successful operation. 
 
 Among other grounds for gratitude which the Great 
 Head of the Church has given us, we reckon it not the 
 least, that he has spared to us and to the world our 
 beloved President; and that he has signally sustained 
 him in the discharge of his very onerous duties. For 
 many years, he has maintained a front-rank place in 
 the conflicts which we have had to wage for the 
 interests of truth and the integrity of our discipline ; 
 
167 
 
 and, under God, we owe much of our present well- 
 ordered financial economy, and very much of our 
 religious prosperity, to his judicious counsels, energetic 
 labours, and unflinching adherence to principle. Having, 
 in the true spirit of a soldier of the Cross, fought the 
 battles of the Connexion, we admire the grace and 
 wisdom of that Providence by which he has been raised 
 to the Presidential Chair, for the fourth time, at a period 
 when peace reigns in all our borders. 
 
 We have appointed our beloved President to preside at 
 your next Annual Conference ; and have requested our 
 esteemed Secretary, the Rev. Dr. Newton, and the Rev. 
 Dr. Alder, one of our General Missionary Secretaries, 
 to accompany him : and, in compliance with your earnest 
 wish, we have re-appointed the Rev. W. O. Croggon, 
 as General Superintendent of your Mission-Schools. 
 
 Your liberality to the great cause of Christian Mis- 
 sions excites alike our gratitude and admiration ; and 
 we trust, that you, and your beloved people, to whom 
 we tender our grateful acknowledgments, will not be 
 weary in this branch of well-doing, knowing that in 
 due season you shall reap, if you faint not. 
 
 We have appointed the Revds. Charles Prest and 
 Thomas Hodson, as the Missionary Deputation to the 
 North of Ireland, — the Revds. George Steward and 
 Frederick J. Jobson, to the South, — and the Revds. 
 George Marsden and William Horton, to the West. 
 
 And now, dear Brethren, assured that we are one 
 with you, in faith and charity, and in every holy pur- 
 pose and work, we earnestly pray that the hand of the 
 Lord may be with you always, sustaining you in trial, 
 and assisting you in duty ; and that through you, great 
 numbers may believe, and be turned unto the Lord. 
 Amen.

LETTER FROM THE BRITISH CONFER- 
 ENCE OF 1843, TO THE BISHOPS OF THE 
 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN THE 
 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
 
 Very dear Brethren, 
 
 Finding it impracticable at this time to depute a 
 personal messenger from our Body as a Representative 
 in your next General Conference of our fraternal rela- 
 tion to you, we have resolved to address you by letter, 
 and in this way to maintain that friendly intercourse 
 with you, which we trust that nothing will ever be per- 
 mitted to interrupt or destroy. Partakers as we are of 
 the same origin, the same faith, the same spiritual 
 blessings, and, with a few external and circumstantial 
 differences, of the same ecclesiastical discipline, we 
 desire that we may also continue to be partakers of the 
 benefits which spring from a free interchange of Chris- 
 tian fellowship. Our prayer to God is, that pure and 
 primitive Christianity may flourish yet more abundantly 
 among us on both sides the Atlantic, and that " mercy 
 unto you," as well as unto ourselves, "and peace, and 
 love," may " be multiplied." 
 
 The visit of your honoured Delegate, the venerable 
 Bishop Soule, to our country, was exceedingly welcome 
 and gratifying to us. His kindly spirit in every season 
 of our more private interviews with him, — the lively 
 interest which he took in all our concerns, whether 
 domestic or foreign, — the copious information with which 
 he favoured us concerning the plans, proceedings, and 
 evangelical conquests of your branch of our Lord's uni- 
 versal church, — and his truly able and edifying public 
 ministrations among us, — have left an impression on our 
 minds which time will not easily efface. Long may he 
 
169 
 
 be spared in life, and blessed, by our Heavenly Master, 
 as an instrument of yet greater and more extensive good ! 
 By the care of Divine Providence, he is now returned 
 in safety to your shores ; and he will be able to supply 
 you with intelligence of our movements, trials, and suc- 
 cesses, far beyond what we should be able to convey in 
 any written communication. 
 
 We should do injustice to our sentiments and feelings 
 towards the honoured companion of the venerable Bishop, 
 the Rev. Thomas B. Sargent, were we not to express the 
 satisfaction and pleasure which his visit has afforded us. 
 His amiable spirit, ardent piety, ministerial services, and 
 social intercourse, have been highly gratifying to our- 
 selves, and beneficial to those congregations of our people 
 to whom he has proclaimed the common salvation. 
 
 Sincerely do we unite with you in thanksgivings to 
 Almighty God, " the Father of mercies, and the God of 
 all consolation," for the extraordinary prosperity which 
 He has granted to the patient and self-denying efforts 
 of his servants in the Western World. When we reflect 
 on the magnitude of that field which you and your 
 coadjutors are employed to cultivate, — on the number 
 of the agents who are incessantly engaged in the work, 
 — on the vast increase which you have the happiness 
 annually to report, — and on the indirect influence which 
 your efficient toil can scarcely fail to exert on other 
 Christian communities, — we rest in the satisfactory assur- 
 ance that " Christ is " so widely " preached," not " in 
 pretence," but " in truth," among large masses of re- 
 deemed human beings, whom we have not known, or 
 are ever likely to know, in the flesh ; and we " therein 
 do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice." Our hope is, that in 
 your case that promise will be constantly fulfilled, — 
 " The Lord will create upon every dwelling-place of 
 Mount Zion, and upon her assemblies, a cloud and 
 smoke by day, and the shining of a flaming fire by 
 night: for upon all the glory shall be a defence," — 
 " the glory " of the Lord himself, the glory of His 
 abiding presence and favour, " shall over all be a 
 covering," and, therefore, a sure defence and protection. 
 
 From a careful consideration of questions which are 
 
 H 
 
170 
 
 agitated at the present time in Great Britain, and, less 
 or more, in America also, we are constrained to adhere, 
 with firmer tenacity if possible than ever, to the high 
 principle, that the Holy Scriptures are our supreme and 
 ;>ole authority in all matters of revealed truth. Nor would 
 we avow this principle merely, or plead for it in occa- 
 sional controversy : we would, by the help of God, prac- 
 tically and habitually act upon it. It is our fervent wish 
 that all the Ministers who are connected with us should 
 devote themselves, Math growing diligence, to the 
 prayerful study of God's own book, — should avail 
 themselves of every aid within their reach, towards its 
 right interpretation, — should expound it with all attain- 
 able skill, and apply it to the several classes of their 
 hearers with calm and unflinching fidelity, — and should 
 always have it in their power to say, in declaration of 
 the sacred canon by which they are themselves uniformly 
 guided, " To the law and to the testimony : if they 
 speak not according to this word, it is because there is 
 no light in them." 
 
 Nor would we neglect the continual exposition and 
 enforcement of the vital Protestant doctrine, which our 
 Fathers and we have learnt from the Scriptures of God, 
 that sinful man can be justified, in the sight of his 
 offended Judge, only " by grace, through faith" in our 
 Lord's atoning sacrifice. " Nothing but this," to use 
 the words of our revered Founder, " can effectually 
 prevent the increase of the Romish delusion among us 
 [whatever form that delusion may assume, and in what- 
 ever degree it may exist]. It is endless to attack, one 
 by one, all the errors of that Church. But salvation by 
 faith strikes at the root, and all fall at once where this 
 is established. It was this doctrine, which our Church, 
 ' the Church of England,' justly calls the strong rock 
 and foundation of the Christian religion, that first drove 
 Popery out of these kingdoms ; and it is this alone can 
 keep it out." Man's gratuitous pardon, justification, and 
 adoption into the family of God, through faith, — sealed 
 on the heart of the penitent believer by the Holy Spirit's 
 testimony, — and, by means of that very testimony, 
 accompanied with a divine change of heart, and, conse- 
 quently, of life ; — this opens to us a scheme of saving 
 
171 
 
 truth, most plainly taught in the word of God, and 
 most evidently confirmed by the experience of countless 
 numbers in all parts of the world, who, " being justified 
 by faith," have thus, and thus only, found " peace with 
 God, through our Lord Jesus Christ," with all its 
 attendant and following benefits. To this doctrine, 
 then, we would resolutely cleave. We would proclaim 
 it in its own simplicity, apart from philosophical niceties, 
 unprofitable distinctions, or a new vocabulary of terms; 
 and we are persuaded that, while we do this with honest, 
 consistent, and patient zeal, "the Lord our God" will 
 " be with us, as he was with our fathers :" he will "not 
 leave us, nor forsake us." 
 
 Pursuant to the same system of restoring mercy, we 
 feel it to be our duty to press upon our hearers the im- 
 portance of seeking and acquiring a more 'plentiful 
 enjoyment of God's sanctifying grace. When they 
 " have received Christ Jesus the Lord," by that faith 
 which plants Him in the heart, we would earnestly ad- 
 monish them, in the words of the holy Apostle: " Walk 
 ye in him : rooted and built up in him, and stahlished 
 in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein 
 with thanksgiving," — " nourished up," as he elsewhere 
 speaks, " in the words of faith and of good doctrine." 
 By the gracious appointment of God, " many " even 
 now, " run to and fro," in your land and in ours, " and 
 knowledge is increased." For this we are unfeignedly 
 thankful to Him with whom all light dwells. But what 
 avails knowledge, though it be a knowledge of the plan 
 and science of salvation itself, unless that knowledge be 
 subordinate and auxiliary to wisdom ? " The Holy 
 Scriptures " are intended, as they are also " able" by 
 the Spirit's agency, to M make us wise unto salvation, 
 through faith which is in Christ Jesus." Our people 
 need more wisdom, — we need more wisdom, — in the 
 attainment of a deeper spiritual experience, in the more 
 skilful conduct of the Christian life, in the more sedulous 
 cultivation and maintenance of right tempers, words, 
 and practice. May " the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
 the Father of glory, give unto " all his Church the spirit 
 of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him!" 
 H 2 
 
172 
 
 Yet further, we are sensible of the necessity of 
 striving, in every thing, to observe the declared will of 
 God, and not to follow the law of human expediency or 
 accommodation. We are indeed to be " made all things 
 to all men ;" but it is that we may " by all means save 
 some :" — " every one of us " is to " please his neigh- 
 bour ;" but then it must be " for his good to edification" 
 Temptations arise, in the present day, from established 
 usages, from our long familiarity with things which will 
 not bear a close Scriptural inspection, from national 
 prepossessions and partialities, from a fear of exciting 
 powerful opposition, and from various other sources ; 
 and these temptations may seduce us, if we do not 
 vigilantly guard against them, into compliances unworthy 
 of our Christian and Ministerial profession. To this 
 danger we would be continually awake, lest we should 
 substitute earthly in the place of heavenly motives ; or, 
 at least, injuriously mix and confound the one with the 
 other. Ought it not to be every man's devout inquiry, 
 " Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" And ought not 
 every Christian Minister to be able to say, in the lan- 
 guage of St. Paul's exemplary appeal to the Galatians, 
 " Do I now persuade men, or God ? or do I seek to 
 please men ? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be 
 the servant of Christ." Let us encourage and assist 
 each other to perform every part of the Lord's work in 
 the Lord's own appointed way; and let us humbly pray 
 that He may, in no circumstance, relation, or walk of 
 life, leave us destitute of " His mercy and His truth." 
 We are, as we trust, right-minded in the prosecution and 
 promotion of the sublime and spiritual objects of our com- 
 mon Christianity ; and " if in anything we be otherwise," 
 or differently " minded, God shall,'"' assuredly, " reveal 
 even this unto us," if we wait on him " in simplicity 
 and godly sincerity," and exercise an entire submission 
 to all his pleasure. 
 
 And now, very dear Brethren, we " commend you to 
 God, and to the word of his grace, which is able to build 
 us up," wherever our earthly lot may be cast, " and to 
 give us an inheritance among all them that are sancti- 
 fied." Your sphere of honourable and useful exertion 
 in Christ's cause is mightily enlarged, and the numbers 
 
173 
 
 of those, once fugitives from God and peace, but now- 
 gathered, through your instrumentality, into the inclo- 
 sure of the Church, are marvellously augmented. " The 
 Lord God of" our " fathers, make you a thousand times 
 so many more as ye are, and bless you, as he hath pro- 
 mised you."

 THE ANSWER OF THE GENERAL CONFER- 
 ENCE OF THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL 
 CHURCH IN AMERICA, HELD IN 1844, TO 
 THE PRECEDING LETTER FROM THE 
 BRITISH CONFERENCE OF 1843. 
 
 To the Wesley an-Methodist Conference in Great 
 Britain. 
 
 Beloved Fathers and Brethren, 
 
 The General Conference of the Methodist Episcopal 
 Church in the United States of America, with great 
 pleasure acknowledge the receipt of your kind and truly 
 Christian Epistle. And we could have been more highly 
 gratified only by a visit of one of your number, as your 
 Representative to our Body. We are happy to be assured 
 that your declining the appointment of a Delegate to 
 this Conference, has arisen from urgent causes which 
 imply no want of interest in the well-being and progress 
 of Methodism in this country, nor any loss of affection 
 for the American Connexion. We earnestly request 
 that a Representative may be appointed by your Body, 
 to meet our General Conference in 1848, when, it may 
 
174 
 
 be presumed, arrangements will be made to reciprocate 
 such a demonstration of continued affection and con- 
 fidence. To your fraternal and apostolical salutation 
 we most sincerely and devoutly respond, "Grace, mercy, 
 and peace be upon you, and upon the Israel of God." 
 
 The visit of our beloved Brethren, the Rev. M. 
 Richey, and the Rev. W. Case, from your Missions in 
 Upper Canada, has been peculiarly welcome to us, and 
 refreshing to our spirits. To these devoted men we 
 wish abundant success in the vastly important field 
 which, in the Providence of God, they are called to 
 cultivate. Their presence and their interesting com- 
 munications have encouraged us greatly ; and their 
 truly apostolic spirit afforded us additional evidence, 
 that the true Wesleyan spirit still lives in the Missions 
 under your charge. The unity of the several Branches 
 of the Wesleyan Methodists in all the great elements of 
 Christianity, is as marked, as it is demonstrative of the 
 legitimacy of their succession. We rejoice in the fact, 
 which the world looks upon with admiration, that 
 Wesleyan Methodism in all parts of the world is the 
 same in doctrine, discipline, spirit, and practice. We 
 have " one body, and one spirit, even as we are called 
 in one hope of our calling; one Lord, one Faith, one 
 Baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above all, 
 and through all, and in us all." 
 
 The great doctrines of justification by faith alone, 
 and of sanctification by the Spirit, with us are funda- 
 mental ; and our opposition to all the forms of that 
 corrupt Christianity which attributes saving efficacy to 
 external rites, and ceremonies of human devising, is 
 stern and uncompromising. The encroachments of 
 Popery, and Semi-Popery, which have recently oc- 
 casioned so much agitation in this country, as well as 
 in Great Britain, have, under the good hand of our 
 God, thus far been overruled for the greater progress, and 
 more firm establishment, of evangelical principles. We 
 have no cause here to regret the open collision between 
 " the truth as it is in Jesus," and the false theology of 
 those, who by way of eminence denominate themselves 
 Catholics. In an open and fair field, truth has nothing 
 
175 
 
 to fear from a conflict with error. To high and 
 extravagant assumptions we oppose the evidence of 
 experience; and to the traditions of men, the infallible 
 records of truth. " What is the chaff to the wheat? 
 saith the Lord." The vain fancies and airy visions of 
 the dark ages may find place in minds of a certain 
 class, even in the light of the nineteenth century ; but 
 the faithful preaching of the Gospel of Christ — that 
 Gospel which is " the power of God, and the wisdom of 
 God" — will present a barrier in the way of their pro- 
 gress which they cannot overpass. The minds of our 
 people, having been thoroughly imbued with evan- 
 gelical principles, constitute an uncongenial soil for the 
 dogmas of Rome or of the Tractarians of Oxford ; and, 
 hence, though our Societies have been fiercely assaulted 
 by uncatholic exclusiveness and denunciation, they have 
 suffered little more than the mere annoyance necessarily 
 occasioned by the ceaseless din of those who think it 
 quite sufficient to claim apostolical descent, and to meet 
 all arguments with an appeal to "the Church." "To the 
 law and to the testimony : if they speak not according 
 to these things, it is because there is no light in them. 1 ' 
 
 The labours of the last two years have been crowned 
 with an amount of visible success unparalleled in the 
 history of Methodism in America. God has truly 
 honoured his chosen instrumentality with a tide of 
 prosperity, which evidently proves that He is still with 
 his servants, and that the Gospel preached by them is, 
 as it was in apostolic times, " the power of God unto 
 salvation." And this work of grace we judge to be 
 deep and genuine. We have reason to thank God, that 
 while the piety of our people is becoming more en- 
 lightened and elevated, it seems to have lost nothing 
 of its simplicity and power. 
 
 The great doctrine of entire sanct/Jlcation is exciting 
 increasing interest in our Church. Many of our Ministers 
 and members are rejoicing in that " perfect love" which 
 " casteth out fear ;" while many others are earnestly 
 seeking for full salvation through the blood of 
 Jesus Christ. A holy baptism of the Spirit has fallen 
 upon many portions of our Zion, and great multitudes 
 
176 
 
 are struggling into spiritual liberty. Our fervent prayer 
 is, that this great work may continue to move onward, 
 until " scriptural holiness " shall indeed be " spread 
 over the world." 
 
 It has been our constant effort to preserve the 
 simple institutions of Methodism in all their integrity. 
 The great itinerant system, so evidently according to 
 the apostolic pattern, and always so effective an in- 
 strument of spreading the Gospel, constitutes one of 
 those " land-marks" of Methodism, which we feel must 
 not be " removed." Though it is a system of labour 
 and sacrifice, it is especially suited to such a country-as 
 ours. It carries the word of life to the hamlets and 
 cottages of the poor, and keeps pace with the march of 
 emigration towards the setting sun. And we trust that 
 neither the burdens of this system, nor a thirst for 
 novelty, will bring in the least innovation upon the 
 main features of a plan so wisely adjusted and so divinely 
 sanctioned. 
 
 Next in importance to Gospel-doctrine, and the sacra- 
 ments, we consider Gospel-discipline to hold the highest 
 rank in the characteristics of a church of Christ. That 
 pastoral supervision which keeps the Church free from 
 ungodliness and heresy, is an appointment of God. 
 And we can scarcely see the benefit of a Church-organi- 
 zation unsustained and unprotected by the guards of a 
 godly discipline. In this we most anxiously desire to 
 follow the footsteps of our Fathers. 
 
 In the great Missionary field we have been trying to 
 do something. Though we have passed through a 
 season of great pecuniary embarrassment, and have 
 not, in every instance, seen that success of our labour 
 which we desired, still we have been greatly owned 
 and blessed of God, in this department ; and, what is 
 truly encouraging, we have, by the great liberality of 
 our people and friends, finally succeeded in liquidating 
 the debt which has for several years borne heavily upon 
 our Missionary treasury. Our Society is now unem- 
 barrassed, and of course ready to enlarge the Missionary 
 work, and to enter new openings. 
 
 We most sincerely congratulate you upon your 
 
177 
 
 success in your numerous Missions. The Foreign 
 Missions of the Wesleyan Connexion are not only 
 highly creditable to the wisdom, zeal, and liberality of 
 British Methodists, but are an ornament to the univer- 
 sal Church. In these vast enterprises, we wish you 
 "Godspeed;" and though we have many whitening 
 fields for Missionary labour upon our own continent, 
 we hope the time is not far distant when we may par- 
 ticipate directly in the efforts which are now employed for 
 the illumination and salvation of those degraded nations 
 and tribes upon foreign shores, who sit in heathenish 
 "darkness, and in the regions of the shadow of death." 
 The cause of Education, we trust, is still progressing. 
 Our Colleges and Academies are increasingly efficient 
 and useful ; and only need more ample endowments to 
 furnish the best means of the higher branches of educa- 
 tion. The necessary funds we trust will not long be 
 wanting, to enable our Church to place within the reach 
 of all classes of our youth such an education as will 
 qualify them, not only for the various posts of useful- 
 ness in the Church, to which they may be called, but 
 to exert a salutary influence upon the intellectual and 
 moral condition of the country. 
 
 Finally, dear Fathers and Brethren, we most devoutly 
 pray that the great Head of the Church may " keep 
 your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of 
 God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord." And, 
 while you " hold on" your " way," and " wax stronger 
 and stronger," may your prayers and sympathies, as 
 ever, reach to us, your brethren and children in the 
 common faith.

LETTER FROM THE MODERATOR OF THE 
 GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE PRESBY- 
 TERIAN CHURCH IN IRELAND, TO THE 
 PRESIDENT OF THE CONFERENCE. 
 
 6, Craven- Street, Strand, 
 6th August, 1841. 
 Rev. and dear Sir, 
 
 It affords me high personal gratification to be the 
 organ of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian 
 Church in Ireland, in communicating to you, and the 
 highly respectable Body over which you preside, their 
 sincere wishes for your spiritual health, peace, and 
 prosperity in the Lord. Amidst the alarming clouds of 
 error and superstition which are rising in every depart- 
 ment of the religious world, the increasing tendency to 
 fraternal harmony, co-operation, and union, which is 
 daily manifesting itself among the various sections of 
 Evangelical Christians, sheds upon the future prospects 
 of the Christian Church a cheering and encouraging 
 light, and affords a foundation for the hone that God 
 will not again permit spiritual darkness universally to 
 prevail. The General Assembly highly appreciate the 
 works of faith and labours of love, which the "VYesleyan 
 Body have been enabled, by the grace of God, to per- 
 form in almost all departments of the inhabited world, 
 and are sensible that the religious condition both of 
 England and Ireland owes much to their exertions. 
 They requested me to say, that they are very grateful 
 for the able assistance which their Deputation received 
 from the Wesleyan Committee of Privileges, in their 
 attempts to oppose the Dissenters' Chapels' Bill; and 
 to assure you that they will be ready and willing, on 
 
179 
 
 any occasion which God may afford, to co-operate with 
 the Wesleyan Methodists in every effort for the protec- 
 tion of civil and religious freedom, and for the extension 
 and prosperity of the kingdom of the Lord Jesus Christ. 
 
 I am, Rev. and dear Sir, 
 
 In the bonds of the Gospel, 
 
 Your obedient Servant, 
 
 JOHN BROWN, D.D., 
 Moderator of the General Assembly 
 of the Presbyterian Church in 
 Ireland.

 Conference. 
 
 LETTER OF THE CONFERENCE TO THE 
 MODERATOR, IN ANSWER TO THE PRE- 
 CEDING LETTER. 
 
 Birmingham, August 17th, 1844. 
 
 Rev. and beak Sir, 
 
 Your very acceptable Letter, addressed on behalf of 
 the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 
 Ireland to the President of the Wesleyan Conference, has 
 been read in our present Meeting, and received with 
 sentiments of unfeigned respect and satisfaction. We 
 gratefully return your Christian salutations ; and pray 
 that " grace, mercy, and peace " may be to you, and to 
 all the Ministers and people associated with you, "from 
 God the Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. 1 ' 
 
 Gloomy as the prospects of Protestantism in these 
 countries may appear to the eye of man, we cannot but 
 unite with you in the maintenance of cheerful hope and 
 confidence. We hail every sign of harmony and peace 
 among those who " love our Lord Jesus Christ in sin- 
 cerity," and of the advancement of pure Christianity in 
 
ISO 
 
 places which have long been overspread with darkness, 
 or distracted by dangerous error. It shall be our 
 humble endeavour, in the fear of God, and by the aid of 
 his Holy Spirit, to publish the " truth in love ;" and 
 " whereto we have already attained," to " walk by the 
 same rule," and " mind the same tiling." 
 
 The course pursued by our Committee of Privileges, 
 in reference to the unhappy measure to which your 
 Letter alludes, was prompted by a pure regard to " the 
 faith which was once delivered unto the saints," and to 
 the claims of virtuous integrity. On this occasion of 
 anxiety and suffering, the honoured Church which you 
 represent has our deep and most affectionate sympathy. 
 Disappointed, but not disheartened, we shall still be 
 ready, in our proper sphere, and in conjunction with our 
 Christian brethren of other communities, to employ 
 every effort that may be required by our professed 
 allegiance to Christ, and to " the truth which is after 
 godliness." 
 
 We are, Rev. and dear Sir, 
 
 In behalf of the British Wesleyan Conference, 
 Your affectionate fellow-servants in the Gospel of Christ, 
 
 JABEZ BUNTING, D.D., President, 
 ROBERT NEWTON, D.D., Secretary. 
 
 To the Rev. John Brown, D.D., Moderator of the 
 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in 
 Ireland.

 Samuel Jackson, and Mr. John Reay, Newcastle-upon- 
 Tyne ; Rev. Thomas Waugh, Cork ; Rev. W. O. 
 Croggon, and Abraham Briscoe, Esq., Dublin: — 
 
 The following Resolutions were unanimously 
 adopted : — 
 
 I. Moved by Thomas Farmer, Esq., of London, 
 seconded by the Rev. Dr. Bunting, and supported 
 by the R,ev. Richard Waddy, of York, and John 
 S. Elliott, Esq., of London ; — 
 
 That this Meeting solemnly avows its increased 
 conviction of the paramount importance of giving a 
 Scriptural and decidedly Religious Education to young 
 persons generally, and of the obligation which devolves 
 upon the Church of Christ to aid in securing, as far as 
 possible, the means of such an education, particularly 
 to the children of the poorer classes. 
 
 II. Move! by John Howard, Esq., of Leeds, seconded 
 by the Rev. Richard Reece, of Margate, and sup- 
 ported by Mr. S. H. Smith, of Sheffield, and Mr. 
 Alderman Musgrave, of Leeds ; — 
 
 That, as recent events, and the aspect of things in 
 reference to this great subject, appear to preclude, for 
 the present, the establishment, by legislative enactment, 
 of any Plan of Education, which would be truly 
 National, Protestant, and thoroughly Religious, and at 
 the same time sufficiently tolerant and equitable to 
 satisfy the reasonable claims and wishes of all parties in 
 the country ; it is now the more imperatively incumbent 
 on the various Denominations of the Christian Church 
 to undertake each its own portion of the common duty, 
 in such manner and to such extent as circumstances 
 may admit. 
 
 III. Moved by James Wood, Esq., of Manchester, 
 seconded by the Rev. Dr. Newton, of Manchester, 
 and supported by James Hunter, Esq., of London, 
 and Mr. Alderman Pawson, of Leeds ; — 
 
 That this Meeting greatly honours, and gratefully 
 
184 
 
 acknowledges, the large amount of Scriptural Education 
 already furnished by various public institutions in the 
 country, and has pleasure in recording its willing testi- 
 mony to their value, and its best wishes and earnest 
 prayers for their increasing efficiency and success. At 
 the same time, being deeply convinced of the importance 
 of the principle, long since officially recognised amongst 
 us, that Schools designed for the religious education of 
 the children of the labouring classes " ought to be con- 
 ducted in distinct and avowed connexion with some par- 
 ticular branch of the visible Church of Christ" and- 
 being anxious that the Wesleyan Community should 
 immediately proceed to a more full and practical recog- 
 nition of its own responsibility in this matter, — this 
 Meeting most earnestly recommends to our Societies, 
 and Congregations generally, in reference to our present 
 movement, to act upon that principle as far as possible, 
 and to adopt early and vigorous measures for the estab- 
 lishment and maintenance of Wesleyan Juvenile and 
 Infant Week-Day Schools in their respective Circuits ; 
 and cherishes the hope that, by God's blessing on the 
 pecuniary and other efforts necessary to secure these 
 objects, Seven Hundred Schools, or more, in addition to 
 those already in operation, may be established within 
 the next seven years, and that thus each Circuit in the 
 Connexion may have, at the least, two Schools, on an 
 average, of which one may be situated in the Circuit- 
 Town, and the other in some suburban district or popu- 
 lous village. 
 
 IV. Moved by Peter Rothwell, Esq., of Bolton, 
 seconded by the Rev. Dr. Alder, and supported by 
 John Robinson Kay, Esq., of Bury, and the Rev. 
 George Osborn, of Manchester ; — 
 
 That in attempting the accomplishment of this very 
 desirable and important object, regard must be had to 
 the necessity of raising in the town or village where a 
 School is proposed to be established, or in the immediate 
 neigbourhood, such means as may be requisite for pro- 
 viding suitable School-rooms, and also to the necessity 
 
185 
 
 of making up, by local contributions, whatever may be 
 wanted, in addition to regular weekly payments from 
 the children, to meet, year by year, the current School- 
 expenditure. This Meeting is aware that in most 
 cases a compliance with these conditions will demand 
 liberal and strenuous efforts, especially in the com- 
 mencement of the Schools ; and therefore, as one way 
 of rendering encouragement and help to those cases 
 which may need it, proposes to establish a Fund to be 
 called " The Wesleyan-Education General Fund," 
 to the amount of about £5,000 per annum, on an average, 
 for at least the next seven years ; to be applied under 
 the direction of the General Committee to the following 
 purposes ; namely, — The adoption of the best means for 
 procuring and training suitable Masters and Mistresses, 
 — The outfit of Schools, on their commencement, with 
 Boohs, School- apparatus, and, where such aid may be 
 found indispensable, with other School- furniture, — and 
 also, The maintenance of an efficient plan of inspection, 
 and a systematic correspondence between the General 
 Committee and the localities in which Wesleyan Schools 
 have been, or may hereafter be, established. 
 
 V. Moved by James Heald, Esq., of Stockport, 
 seconded by the Rev. Robert Wood, of London, 
 and supported by Richard Matthews, Esq., and 
 the Rev. John Mason, of London ; — 
 
 That, for the raising of the proposed General Fund, 
 the following measures be adopted: — 
 
 First. That Books be forthwith opened in every 
 Circuit of Great Britain, for the purpose of receiving 
 contributions, in order to raise the sum of £20,000 ; 
 — that amount being the lowest sum which can now be 
 fixed upon as sufficient, in conjunction with other 
 existing or anticipated resources, to provide that portion 
 of the expenditure, required for the establishment of 
 the Seven Hundred Additional Schools above-mentioned 
 which is to be supplied by the General Education Fund; 
 (in addition, of course, to the very much larger aggre- 
 gate sum which must be locally raised for School- 
 
186 
 
 Houses and current expenses, by the friends and sup- 
 porters of each particular School to be so assisted ;) and 
 that such Books, with accompanying Circulars, and 
 Copies of these Resolutions, be immediately addressed 
 by the General Education Committee, on behalf of this 
 Meeting, to the friends of Christian Education in every 
 Circuit, requesting them to unite zealously and liberally 
 in this great and indispensable effort. 
 
 Second. That the Conference be earnestly requested 
 to appoint, that One General Collection shall be made 
 in aid of this General Fund, in all our places of public 
 worship, after the morning, and afternoon or evening- 
 services, on a particular day to be by them specified. 
 
 [In addition to these two sources, there is a third which appears 
 to be available. For several years past, a large proportion of 
 the annual income of the General Chapel Fund has been re- 
 quired for the purpose of redeeming the Connexional engage- 
 ments consequent upon the establishment and operation of 
 the Chapel-Loan Fund. It is expected, that the present 
 year's income will be found sufficient at the next Conference 
 to discharge all remaining engagements of that kind, and thus 
 the General Chapel Fund will be relieved from all demands, 
 except for such remaining cases of distress as may be found 
 to require assistance, either towards the payment of their 
 annual deficiencies, or the liquidation of the principal debt. 
 Under these circumstances a considerable portion of the sum 
 which has been heretofore usually contributed to the General 
 Chapel Fund, may be fairly considered as now being for the 
 first time available for other purposes, in consistency with a 
 due regard to the important interests of our Chapel concerns. 
 And it seems not unreasonable to hope, that the private and 
 public contributions to that Fund would not only be continued 
 but even augmented, if the contributors could be satisfied that 
 some other great and important object of religion and chanty 
 is to be in future connected with the relief of Chapels, and 
 that, out of this common and united Fund, both the original 
 and the newly-appended charges upon it might be efficiently 
 defrayed, without any addition to the present number of 
 annual applications to our Congregations and friends. Such 
 an object seems to this Meeting to be presented by the de- 
 mand now made upon our Community for large and increased 
 exertions in the cause of Christian Education, — a cause which 
 our piety, our patriotism, and even our own peculiarly Con- 
 nexional interests, call upon us to support most zealously. 
 It is therefore proposed : — ] 
 
 Third. That it be earnestly recommended to the 
 
187 
 
 next Conference to change the present designation of 
 the "General Chapel Fund" into that of the "General 
 Chapel and Wesleyan-Education Fund;" — to cause 
 respectful and explicit representations of this change 
 and extension in the intended appropriation, after the 
 next Conference, of the Fund hitherto called the 
 "General Chapel Fund," to be made to our Friends at 
 large ; — to solicit their practical concurrence in, and 
 support of, the measure; — and in the year 1845, and 
 subsequently, at least during the seven years contem- 
 plated in this proposal, to authorize the application of 
 One Moiety of the future income of that Fund to the 
 original object of the General Chapel Fund, and the 
 other Moiety to the General Fund for Educational 
 purposes. 
 
 [From these sources, in conjunction with the proceeds of the 
 £5,000 already granted for Education by the Centenary 
 Fund Committee, it is confidently hoped that the proposed 
 average of £5,000 for each of the next seven years, or the 
 amount of at least £35,000 for the entire period, may be 
 ultimately realized.] 
 
 [The accomplishment of all the objects contemplated in these 
 Resolutions will probably require, during the next seven 
 years, a gradual expenditure of at least £200,000, (say, 
 £165,000 in contributions to local purposes, and £35,000 in 
 contributions to the General Fund,) in addition to the sums 
 required for the annual support of the new Schools, and for 
 the continued support of our existing Sunday and Week-day 
 Schools. But among a willing people, the principle of duty 
 being once generally and fairly admitted, the effort will not be 
 declined as an impracticable one. Those objects, however, 
 having been accomplished, the result, as to its extent and its 
 efficiency, will be only preliminary to the still more expanded 
 system which, in the farther progress of our Educational 
 operations, it is hoped, may be permanently organized.] 
 
 VI. Moved by the Rev. Dr. Dixon, seconded by 
 Christopher Dove, Esq., of Leeds, and supported 
 by Francis Riggall, Esq., of Louth, and William 
 R. Ellis, Esq., London; — 
 
 That out of the amount expected to be raised forth- 
 with, a sum not exceeding £1,500 shall be placed at 
 the disposal of the General Education Committee, for 
 the purposes specified in the Fourth of these Resolu- 
 
188 
 
 tions, in such cases of need as may arise between the 
 present time and the next Conference. 
 
 VII. Moved by Mr. George Smith, of Camborne, 
 seconded by the Rev. John Beeciiam, supported by 
 W. Shippery, Esq., and James Hoby, Esq., of 
 London ; — 
 
 That an Agency be employed, as soon as possible, 
 under the direction of the General Education Com- 
 mittee, for the visitation of Schools already existing, 
 for inquiry as to the facilities available in various 
 places for the establishment of new Schools, and for- 
 such other general objects as may be deemed expedient 
 for carrying these Resolutions into effect. 
 
 VIII. Moved by the Rev. William Vevers, of Derby, 
 seconded by Mr. Richardson, of Barnsley, sup- 
 ported by Mr. E. Corderoy, of London, and the 
 Rev. G. B. Macdonald, of Leeds; — 
 
 That the procuring and training of Masters and 
 Mistresses, and all other matters of detail, be confided 
 for the present to the General Education Committee. 
 
 IX. Moved by the Rev. Francis A. West, of Leeds, 
 seconded by G. Fishwick, Esq., of Garstang, sup- 
 ported by the Rev. Thomas Waugh, of Cork, Mr. 
 Vanner, of London, and Mr. Keet, of Ports- 
 mouth ; — 
 
 That measures be immediately taken by the General 
 Education Committee to encourage the establishment 
 of Corresponding Committees in every Circuit and 
 District of Great Britain. 
 
 X. Moved by the Rev. Thomas Jackson, of Richmond, 
 seconded by the Rev. Joseph Fowler, of London, 
 supported by the Rev. Robert Newstead, of Leeds, 
 and the Rev. John Davis, of Rochester; — 
 
 That in conformity with the Charges already 
 solemnly given, under the authority of the Conference, 
 on that subject, the Wesley an Ministers in general be 
 
189 
 
 affectionately urged to co-operate with the lay-members 
 of their Societies and Congregations in the establish- 
 ment and supervision of Wesleyan Schools, as being 
 an integral and indispensable part of their ministerial 
 and pastoral duty; and that the Conference be re- 
 quested to direct that, in every case in which it is not 
 already done, regular appointments for the visitation of 
 the Schools by the Ministers of the Circuit shall be 
 inserted upon the Circuit-Plan. 
 
 Signed, JOHN SCOTT, 
 
 President of the Conference. 
 
 It was then further moved by the Rev. Dr. Bunting, 
 seconded by the Rev. Dr. Newton, and supported 
 by Thomas Farmer, Esq., 
 
 That the cordial thanks of this Meeting be pre- 
 sented to the President of the Conference for the dis- 
 tinguished zeal, ability, and kindness, with which he 
 has conducted its proceedings.
