 offoring himself for sojhg time on account of hi« tklicato constitu- 
 tion, lie finally rosolvecl to tlevoto liiniMcM to ihh work Mith 
 Trhntever capaTjilitiea he hatl buen cndowetl. He entered tho 
 ministry in 18G', and -was ordained at llcn'rtal, in 1866. 
 During his eecoiul year on the Compton Circuit, nfttr severe lab< urs 
 in a canip-meeting, and also in «uht>L-quent bpceial services, he was 
 attacked with hemorrhage of the lungs, which Itsft hiin greatly 
 reduced in strength, but be coutinQ- d to superiuteud hia Circuit 
 until the enauing Conference, when he retired. 
 
 ]3ro. Johnston was an arduous lal>onrcr, paying special attention 
 to the sick. Hia '^julpit efforts were chaiacteri e<\ by sincere 
 humility ; his purity of mind, ch.ii«t.e conversatioxt, and uui- 
 versal charity, made him greatly beloTed ami esteemed by thoso 
 who knew him best. His lung illness, which lasted one year and 
 ten months, was boroe with gieat patience. He loved hi» friends, 
 his family, his brethren, — but above every earthly affection was 
 his ardent love for tiie work ol Christ. Once, when spoken to 
 
 about his future reward, ho madd the remark, '*Ah I yes; but 
 this world is the sphere of labour." During his ilhici?s he was 
 supijorttd by the religion which he had preached to others. A few 
 moments before his death, when a»ked if he could tntst in Jeaus, he 
 anaworc.l, " Yes, forever." , : , .. , . ,; ,,.j ...,,,{ 
 
 2. TnoMAS Jeffrrs. 
 
 Bro. JelTers was born in tlie city of Cork, Ireland, in 1810, and 
 canie with his parents to Canada while yet a boy. His chi dhood 
 and youth were blessed with the watchful care of a caisistently 
 pious mother, wlio exemplified religion in every stage of life. 
 
 Our brother was converted alwut the ago <>f twenty, and never 
 wickedly departed from the Lord. His stability was seveivly tested 
 durlog the lx;rio^l of the rebellion in Canada, but he performed duty 
 as a })rave sol(lier wi hont givi .g np hs Christian iiitcgiity. 
 In 1841, being recommend d by tlie old Bay of Qainte Circuit, be

 Circnita on which he Inl^ourcd. 
 
 Complicated diaordcrH, iuducod by excosaivo labour and expoanre, 
 obliged liiui to request a Superannuated relation in 18G8. Tho laat 
 year and a half before his death, although this relation to tho C'cn- 
 fercnce remained, he RU])pIicd a Buiali Circuit by arrangement with 
 tho Stationing Committee. , 
 
 Bro. JelFera iwasesaetl average preaching abilities, which joined to 
 very careful prepai'ation, ma !o him an acceptable preacher. But 
 his highest praise was his great laborionsneas and marked attention 
 to every part of his work. His conscioutiousnees was unquestionable 
 through the whole course of his religious life ; but all acquainted 
 with him observed an iuorease of spiritual-mindcdness during tho 
 last few years. 
 
 The wants of hia family necessitated such efTortg to supplement 
 the slender resources derived from tho Superannuated Ministers* 
 Fund, as overtaxed his failing physical eneigies, and perhaps 
 ha%tonod his death. He literally died in the Master's work. Ho 
 attended and assisted at a camp- meeting, commenced about tho 12th 
 of September, 1871, near the village of Nerval. Ho was observed to 
 exert himself very much in tho prayer-meetings on tho afternoon of 
 the ir»th. Ho took hifl tea on tho ground with tho brethren, and 
 went about nightfall to the adjacent residence of Mr, Thomas 
 Forster, to lodge for the night. He complained of being chilly and 
 tired, and after warming himself at tho fire, lay down to rest on a 
 lounge, and immediately expired. He was in tho C2nd year of his 
 a^e, and 2Cth of his Ministry.

 The subject of this notice was born July I7th, 1788, in tho State 
 of New York and died, in Drayton, Dcce'.nber 1st, 1871. Hia 
 parents sympathized with Britain during the revolutionary struggle, 
 and not long after his birth removed to the Eastern Townships, Lower 
 Canada. He was brought up as a Presbyterian, the family being 
 strongly prejudiced against Me hodism. This continued until hia 
 23rd year, when the Holy Spirit powerfully convinced Ezra of Lis 
 lost con lition. Under deep conviction, ho found his way to a

 til 
 
 Methodist Quarterly Meeting, he'd in the Township of Ascott, by 
 a Presiding E'.dcr from the States, wlicn G<>d revealed himaelf iu 
 his forgiving love, and gave him the Spirit of adoption. From that 
 hour hia life was a Lviug saeritice for God. No toil* too great, no 
 BuCfuring too severe for h'm to ouduro, if only Gud might bo gloriliud 
 and BOuls saved. ./ -.>■ ,-,. ., ; • 
 
 Feeling that God had calletl him to the work of the ministry, ho 
 entered the door when ic opened, r i commenced as an itinerant ou 
 the Ljng Point Circuit, in the year 1814. In our day wo can form 
 little conception of the sufiferingand toil through which the ministera 
 of those days pa*Bcd. The writer once heard Father Adams say 
 that he lived one year on the small pittance of $50 and some centt). 
 He had to go so thinly clad in the winter, that lung disease was the 
 result ; bringing him so low that he could neither see, hoar, nor feel. 
 In answer to prayer, he was raised from the gates of the grave, 
 but was fortcd to locate for several years. No sooner did hejilth 
 return, than afresh he gave himself to God's work ; but such was 
 the earnestness with which bo laboured (for soul-saving was a 
 passion with him) that in a few years he was again forced to retire. 
 Again, on the return of strength, ho was at the work in which hia 
 soul delijjhtid, and continued to toil on till the jear 1848, when ho 
 superannuated, (making his residence in the Township of Peel,) not 
 again to return to active labour. His, however, was far from being an 
 idle life. He continued to preach as he had strength, and retained 
 hia popularity and influence to the last. Nor need wo wonder at 
 this ; he had a clear, strong intellect, joined to an ardent tempera- 
 ment, sanctified by a large measure of Divine grace He was 
 successful in winning souls for Christ, wherever he laboured. 
 Hia loyalty to Methodism was manifested in zeal for her in crests, 
 and in giving all hia children to her. His duty to his God and tho 
 Church of his choice, were the two great ideas of hia life, to which 
 everything else was made subordinate. 
 
 A short time pi evious to the Conference of 1871, he preached a most 
 powerful sermon. It seemed as if he had such a sight of the sin- 
 ner's exposure, that ho couM hardly close. It was his last sermon. 
 In a few days he was fctdcken down with a partial paialyei '» from 
 which he nevor recovered so as again to take his place in the house 
 of God. -the Master said, "Workman, thy work is done; tarry

 A native of Canada, was converted about four yonrs ago on

 of acceptance bright and joyous. After having filled tlie offices of 
 cla-^s-'eader and local preacher, he was, at tbe Belleville Conference 
 of 1871, leceived on trial as a minister and appointed to tbe Milford 
 Circuit. He laboured there with great acceptance for three months,

 Was born in Ontario, Canada, March 7tb, A.D. 1798. In e.irly life 
 be was brought under religious influences, and at fifteen years 
 of age was led with earnestness to seek a personal interest in

 yuAra, ho was roooivod into fall oonnoxion and ordained <leac'>:», 
 and at the oloso of two subsequent years he receisod ordination 
 to the eldership. ;; 
 
 Soon aftur his rocoptlon into full Connexion and ovdination, he 
 was uuitoil in marriago to Misa Harriot R. Rurnott, an ostimablo 
 young lady, of respectable parentage and deep piety, who, dunni{ 
 th© few years hor life was spared, was truly, a '* h'-'p meet for hir'..** 
 For threo years he laboured with j^at accoyi Lability on the Niagara 
 and Dumfries Circuits, when at the call of his father, he sought and 
 obtained permission from the Confore'»»«, ,: '-lavo the regular work 
 for a time. From 1827 up to 1841 his rolati-^n w^* that of local older. 
 During this period ho continued to labor lealnusly and effectively in 
 tha Lord's vineyard as ciroumstanoos would permit. In 1841, ho 
 again entered the field of evangelistic toil, after whioh he laboured 
 BiiccosafuUy in the following Circuits, via. : Picton, Ridoau, hrock- 
 ville, Peterboro*, St. Catharines, Grimsby, York, and Huinber. In 
 1349, ho was appointed Qonoral Agent for the ^jnuexicmal Funds. 
 This office ho retained for a number of yoirs ; travelling through all 
 partd of Ontario ; attending with scrupulous exactnos3 to hia duties, 
 aud preaching when and where circumstances would permit. 
 
 In consequence of ago and iufirmitios, our depirtod brother super- 
 annuated in 1859. To preach was his delight to the last, and it 
 may be omphaticuUy said of him, he was an ardent lover of all tho 
 ordinances of tho Lord's house. Hence, his place was never vacant 
 in the'sanctuary when he could attend. He was strongly attached 
 to the church of his early choice, yet free from sectarian bigotry. 
 Ho was sound in Methodist theology. As a preacher ho was 
 punctual, plain, and practical. His last illnesr^ was somewhat 
 protracted, and towards the close his sufferings were severe ; but 
 he found that that religion which had sustained aud comforted him 
 amid the bitterest bereavements and disappointments of life, and 
 which he had so frequently recommended to others for nearly sixty 
 years, was all-sutiicient to sustain and comfort him in suffering, and 
 remove all gloominess from the grave. The greatest anxiety ho 
 experienced during his illness arose fropi the consideration of the 
 spiritual condition of his son, with whom ho resided after his super- 
 annuatiou. May the prayers of frieada aad saiatod {tiMreuta spc9;liljf

 which took place under tho labours of Revs J. Webster and C. June^, 
 from which timo ho began to exercise gifts for Christ in taking 
 occasional appointments. This led to his receiving a call from tho 
 Church to the regular work of the ministry, which was accepted by 
 him with many fears. He travelled the Circuits of Lachuto, 
 Franklin Centre, Smith's Falls, Newburgh, and Napaneo, on all of 
 which ho preached tho gospol with much acceptance, and endeared 
 himself to all who bccamo acquainted with him by the amiability, 
 simplicity, and sincerity of his Christian character. Ho took 
 a severe oold soon after his removal to tho Napaneo Cifcuit, and 
 was compelled to givo up his Master's work in the month of 
 September, 18G9. His sickness terminated in a lingering con* 
 sumption, from which he died on the 24th of February, 1872, itt 
 the 34th year of his age and sixth of hia ministry. Ho fell asleep 
 trusting in that Saviour whom he had preached to others, and 
 his death was a blessed exhibition of Christ's power to save.

 His early ministry was characterized by great steal and much 
 succees. He was ju^t the man Uy resnscHato a run-down 
 Circuit. His commanding voic«, {K>\vcra of sacred song, fervour of 
 spirit, and giftedness in i>rnyer and exhortation, CA>ropeni»ato<l for 
 any lack of method in iho order of his aeriBons. Ho was scvoral 
 times placed on Indian Missions, and made himnelf a favourite

 His nominal sapernnnnaiion took place in 1840, about twenty* 
 three years fwm the tinae of bis formal rccep' ion on trial, but ho 
 ever stood ready to |Kjrform any work the exigencies of th© 
 Connox.ion might n.*quire. Two of these intervals of jmstornl

 Circuits of Stonoy Creek and New Credit. ■ + •' ' •■ *-

 earthly homo, a short time before his own doscise, Becmod to bo iho 
 rupture of one of the last links that bonud him to earth.

 KEPOKT OF THE WESLEYAN MISSIONARY 
 COMMITTEE, 1871-72. 
 
 The Committee heH its Annual Session in the Wesleyan 
 Methodist Ch.irch, in the town of St. Catherines, beginning 
 on Tuesday, ICth October, 1871. The occasion woa one 
 of great interest and harmony. The widely extended 
 Mission work of the Church was carefully reviewed, and 
 the Committee proceeded to the work of appropriating the 
 funds necessary to carry on the work for the current 
 year. 
 
 The Committee also took into serious consideration the 
 question of inau^'urating a Foreign Mission. After full 
 discussion it was resolved, on motion of John Macdonald, 
 Esq., seconded by the Rev. Dr. Wood : — 
 
 " That whei-eas in the carrying out of the great trust com- 
 mitted by Christ to His Chui-ch, viz , tlmt of preaching the 
 gospel to every creature, the Church is bound not only to 
 avail itself of providential openings which clearly indicate 
 its duty in that direction, but to look for them ; and as so 
 many circumstances of a most favourable character combine 
 at this time pointing to Japan, with its vast and interesting 
 population, as an inviting field of Missionary enterprise, a 
 Committee be appointed, consisting of the Rev. W. M. 
 Punshon, M. A., President of Conference ; Revs. Dr. Taylor, 
 Dr. Evans, Samuel Rose, and W. T. Mason, Esq., with the 
 mover and seconder, to make enquiries as to the suitability 
 of that or any field, and report to the Sub-committee of 
 Finance and Consultation, who shall take such steps as may 
 be necessary txj bring the same before the Conference." 
 
 The Committee also recommended the Sub-committee to 
 ascertain whether arrangen.ents could be made to send a 
 deputation from the Society to visit our Missions in the 
 North-west. 
 
 A letter was laid before the Committee by the President, 
 signed by the Rev. W. B. Boyce and tae Rev. Geoige T.

 to meet such Deputation. It whs also resolved that the 
 Sub committee recommend to the authorities of the Church 
 the appointment of the President of the Conference, the 
 Rev. Dr. Wood, Mid John Macdonald, Esq., as guch depu- 
 tation. 4i 
 
 A question having been raised at a previous meeting 
 of the Committee, concerning the date of the organization 
 of our Missionary Society, and a Committee appointed to 
 inquire into the same, a report was presented and adopted 
 by the Sub-Committee, setting forth that our Missionary 
 Society whs organized at Hallo well, on the 28th da/ of 
 August, 1824, and recommending that efficient arrange- 
 ments be made to celebrate the J ubilee of the Society during 
 the year commencing the 28th of August, 1873.

 aficertaia the age of our MisRionary Society, in order to 
 arrive at the correct period for celebrating it« Jubilee, bog 
 to report jus follows : — * *** 
 
 •' We find that your Society was formed in Hallowell, on 
 Saturday, the 28th day of August, 1621:, and during the 
 tirst aetisionB of the Carnwla Conference, which had been 
 organized but three days previous to this date. The firak 
 Annual Report of your Society was presented at SullUeet, 
 on Saturday, the 17th of Septouiber, 1826 ; consequently 
 the year which closed last June was the 47th year of the 
 Socit^ty'ft existence, and not the 4Gth, as on the rover of 
 the Report. 
 
 ♦' The error arose in this way : — No Report was printed 
 for 1830, but in 1831 the o|)eration1s of these two years 
 were rejwrted and printed together, credit being takea on 
 the covtJT for one year only. By this trifling acciv>nt <vn 
 awkward discrepancy has exintetl for years betwj'en the 
 Hge of the Society and your annual reptjrts, which we 
 submit should be corrected in the next report to be printed. 
 
 " We beg also to recommend that as the fiftieth year of 
 this Society will commence on the 28th day of August, 
 1873, efficient arrangements be made to celebrate its 
 Jubilee during that year, in time to close the services con- 
 nected therewith on the 28th day of Aijgust, 1874."^

 " Tliat in view of the interesting changes in the civU and 
 social condition of Japan, and the probable impulse that tho 
 ojHjning of a purely Foreign Mission would give to Mie- 
 siouary liberality, this Conference desires to express its 
 hearty sympathy with the project of a Alission to Ja{taB,

 REPORT OF CHILDREN'S FUND COMMITTEE, 
 
 1872. 
 
 The Committee having carefully re-considered the claims 
 of the children of Superannuated and Deceased Ministers, 
 recommend that the clauses of the Constitution, published 
 in the New Edition of the Discipline, reducing them, be 
 annulled, and that in future the said children be paid 
 according to the former regulations of the Fund. 
 
 They also recommend that in view of the iniproved con- 
 dition of the Fund, the Treasurer be instructed to pay the 
 claims of such children for the past year without reduction. 
 
 The claims of 880 children have been pai<l, 37 have gone 
 off the Fund, and 64 new claimants have arisen. Tlie 
 number now to be provided for is 907, an increase of 27.

 REPORT OF THE SABBATH SCHOOL COMMITTEE 
 TO THE CONFERENCE OF 1872. 
 
 Respiccted Bp.ethrfn, — 
 
 The increased interest manifested h« our Sabbath

 couraged our brethren who are ongagod iu carrying on the

 WESLEYAK METHODIST CONFERKNCB. 
 
 
 Schools, and has incited them to greater exertion than' 
 formerly, and with the most happy results, as wiil be- 
 observed on examination of the statistical summary here- 
 with appended. 
 
 Ex|jro«8icus of general satisfaction with the Constitution,; 
 published in the ladt Minutes of Conference, have come to' 
 us from 11 parts of our work, and 597 schools are reported; 
 a? having adoj^^'^ it. 
 
 The Montreal District presented a resolution requesting 
 that laymen be added to the Sabbath School Committee;, 
 in tiie same manner as in the composition of the Church 
 Relief Committee. On this subject, your Committee would , 
 not recommend any action this year ; not that we under- , 
 value the help which our brethren would undoubtedly be 
 able to render us, but that the change propo.«jed i-equiree ; 
 more consideration in its details than we have been able, 
 to give at tire present time. .,- 
 
 In the event of Superintendents of Schools becomin|j 
 members . che Qviarterly OfScial Meetings, your Committee' 
 hope tha** they will be furniMheU with Annual Schedules; 
 which they shall till up and read at the Mt-^ Quarterly^ 
 Otiioial Meeting. From the^e returns the Supeimtendeut of 
 the Circuit or Mission shall prepare the Circuit Schedule.; 
 Also that the Chairmen of Districts be required to have 
 the Circuit Schedules read at the District Meeting, with aa 
 as much care as other schedules. It will be a matter of 
 surprise to the Conlei*ence to learn, that although the sche- 
 dules ai*e more c-mplete than on any former occasion, yet at 
 this late date of ^he Conference there are several Circuits 
 which have preseu'-ed no report, and many Schedules give 
 evidence of extreme haste in their pre|)aration. It is hoped 
 that these recommendations will secure more promptness 
 and precision in the returns. 
 
 Your Committee are of the opinion that a public Annual 
 Conierence Sabbath School Meeting would greatly serve the 
 interests of our schools. At such meeting, held on some 
 evening during Conference, the General and Statistical 
 liep(jrt might be presented, and addresses delivered by 
 member^ of the Conference. Should the judgment of the

 Conference approve this measure, we should be thankful if 
 such a meeting could be provided for when the Conference 
 plan is prepared. 
 
 We have been reminded from many sources of the im- 
 portance of securing better books for our libraries. Vt'e 
 trust the appointment of the Library Committee this year, 
 in oonnection with our esteemed Book Steward, will, before 
 very long, secure this desireable result;. 
 
 Your Committee are glad to find that a large numb©!* of 
 schools have adopted the uniform series of lessons pub- 
 lished at the Book-Room, and would respectfully recom- 
 mend that they bo intioduoed into all our schools. Our 
 Sunday ScJiool Banner and the Advocate are accomplishing 
 a good work, and deserve much greater encouragement 
 than they have yet received. We would call the special 
 attention of the Conference to the importance of keeping 
 prominently before the officere and teachers the great value 
 of our Catechisms, and endeavor to secure their use in all 
 our schools. 
 
 Many of the Districts desire that some plan be recom- 
 mended by the Conference, whereby all the Ministers will 
 Lave an opportunity of visiting the schools at least once 
 a quarter. 
 
 Our judgment on this subject will be presented in a 
 ir>solution accompanying this report. 
 
 Your Committee feel? deep'y impressed, not only that 
 in the Sabbath School ^ork there is a rich heritage en- 
 trusted to us as a Christian Church, but that here is our 
 main dependence for the future. In the Sabbath School 
 are the materials which must supply the life and activities 
 of the Church at no very distant day. We may not, there- 
 fore, treat the subject lightly, but with heart and soul labor 
 with increased diligence in the Master's work. And your 
 Committee most earnestly pray that we may be Divinely 
 aid' 1 in discharging this trust, and be thus enabled to 
 ga^ er a full harvest of blessings for the Master's glory and 
 ai for the Church's good.

 The Conference adopted the following resolutions brought 
 up by the Sabbath School Committee : — ) 
 
 Resolved, — That the Secret uy of the Sabbath School 
 Committee be requested to take charge of all papers and 
 books belonging to our Sabbath School work from one Con- 
 ference to another, make arrangements for the first meeting 
 of the Committee as soon after the opening of thft Conference 
 us may be convenient, and continue in office until his suc- 
 ssor be appointed. We recommeuvl further, that the 
 Secretary be requested to assist the Book Steward in pre- 
 l>aring new schedules, in order to carry out the recommen- 
 uations of this Committee and the Conference of last year. 
 
 Resolved^ — That Superintendents of Circuits and Missions 
 where the Schools cannot otherwise be visited by them, 
 are requested; as far as practicable, to arrange their work in 
 tiuch a manner as to allow the schools once a quarter to 
 su{>ersede the regular preaching service. On such occasions 
 it would be well to have the schools conducted by the 
 Minister and Superintendent conjointly. 
 
 BEPORT OF MODEL DEED COMMITTEE. 
 
 The Jommittee on the Model Deed, appointed at the 
 Conference of 1871, have devoted their earnest attention to 
 the matters entrusted to them. The various reprints of the 
 Model Deed in the successive editions of the Book of Dis- 
 ci[»lino were carefully read, and compared each with other, 
 an I with the original Deed. A number of variations were 
 found to exist, some of which, viewed in connection with 
 certain })rovi8ions necessary for the more complete adaptation 
 of the Deed to cases occanionally arising in course of admiu- 
 stratron, were deemed to requii*e legislative interference. 
 
 A Bill was therefore pre[)ared, and laid before the Legis- 
 lature of Ontario, which contains a copy of the original 
 Deed, with the additional provisions introduced by your 
 Committee. 
 
 The bill furthermore provided a short-form Deed, the 
 ex.ecutiou of which places the property conveyed under all 
 
1872.] JWESLEYAN METHODIST CONPERKNCE. 
 
 109 
 
 the trusts set forth at large in the original Deed tis by the 
 bill proposed to he amended. 
 
 Tlie new olaufes in the bill provided for the declaring of 
 vacancies in the Tiiiat Board by death, reaignation, cessation 
 of church membership, or removal to an inconvenient dis- 
 tance, and for the tilling of such vacancies. Also for increas- 
 ing the number of Trustees beyond that originally constitu- 
 ting the Board, but fixing the maximum number at twenty- 
 one. 
 
 By another important clause, provision was made by 
 which Trustees holding lands for our church uses under 
 other Deeds, may, by an easy and inexpensive process, place 
 them under the trusts of the amended Model Deed. 
 
 The Committee express their obligations to A. W. 
 Lauder, Ksq., of Toronto, barristei, for his valuable advice, 
 and time and ability gratuitously devoted to the pre[>aration 
 of the bill; and to Messrs. Spencer, Rose, and Macdonald, for* 
 tlioir services as solicitors for the bill, which were also ren- 
 dered without charge to the Connexion. 
 
 Your Committee would earnestly call the attention of 
 Superintendents of Circuits, to the great importance of 
 examining the state of the trusts on their respective Cireuits, 
 and of doing their diligence to have them placed under the 
 uniform system of administration provided for in thtt 
 amended Deed. 
 
 Respectfully uubmittod,

 Your Committee have received a copy of a Resolution 
 passed by the Conference of the Methodist New Connexion, 
 which is as follows : 
 
 " Resolvedy — That having a^ain considered the subject of 
 Methodist Union, this Conference would renew its expres- 
 sion as to the desirableness of an organic Union of the 
 various Methodist bodies of Canada, and while adhering to 
 the action of our last Conference in regard to the basis 
 recommended by the United Committees, this Conference 
 feels bound to say, that we could not accept any scheme of 
 Union by which restrictions would be imposed upon the 
 legislative powers of a General Conference, or upon the 
 right of the laity to co-operate with the Ministry in such 
 Conference in all acts of legislation and discipline." 
 
 It is the opinion of your Committee that the course 
 taken by the Wesleyan Conference on the subject of Union 
 affords to other Methodist bodies evidence of its sincere, 
 desire to lead the pending ncgociatious to a practicable

 scheme of Union; and your Committee recommend the 
 Conference to re-affirm its Resolution of last year on the 
 desirability of Union, and to appoint a Crmraittee to con- 
 fer with the representatives of the Methodist New Con- 
 nexion, and with any Committee or Comniittees appointed 
 by any of the Methodist bodies who accept the general 
 basis laid down by the United Committees, and to report 
 to the ensuing Conference. 
 
 It will be gratifying to the Conference to know that an 
 interiiew has been had between your Committee and the 
 Representatives of the Wesleyan Methodist Church in 
 Eastern British America. ^ 
 
 After a free intf ixhaftge of views, the following resolu-* 
 tions were adopted by your Committee, and they are pre- 
 sented for adoption by the Conference : 
 
 Resolved I. — That we have heard with great satisfaction 
 the statements of the Rev. Humphrey Pickanl, D.D., and 
 the Rev. D. D. Carry, in reference to the practicability of a 
 union between the Canadian and E. B. A. Conferences, and 
 we rejoice to find that the hindrances in the way are cora-t 
 paratively slight, and are of such a nature that they may 
 be easily overcome. Wherefore, , 
 
 Resolved II. — That this Committee recommends to the 
 Conference the propriety of taking immediate steps to con- 
 summate a Federal Union with our brethren in Eastern 
 British America, being convinced that such a step would 
 tend to strengthen and consolidate Methodism, and promote 
 the work of God throughout the whole of British America.

 [1872. 
 
 Tuesday evening, the 1 1 th inst. After devotional exer- 
 ci.ses, the Secretary of the Conference was called to the chair. 
 The meeting wsva very large, and the resolutions discusaed 
 and adopted were of a useful and practical character. 
 Your Cumuiittee are gratified with the fact that there is a 
 growing conviction in the Conference and in the Church of 
 the vast importance of the Temiieranoe K(ifoi-matiou, and 
 that it is our imperative duty at the present time to use all 
 lawful and scriptural means to diminish the traffic and 
 obtain its legal prohibition. These sentiments have 
 frequently been expressed and ado[)ted by the Conference 
 We cannot go further upon this question than our venerable 
 founder went a century ago. That there shouUl ever have 
 been an apparent departure from his sound principles of 
 abstinence and prohibilion is greatly to be lamented. It is 
 difHcult to get back to first principles ; but your Com- 
 mittee recommend the reiteration and republication of the 
 resolutions of the Conference in former years, believing 
 that it is highly nece.-'Sdry and expedient to keep the sub- 
 ject clearly before our Church and congregations. The 
 Conference is therefore re8[>ectfully requested to authorize 
 the reprinting of the following declarations, which received 
 the sanction of the brethren at our Conference in Belleville : 
 
 :i- . . ... 
 
 1. That this Conference reiti-rates its treqnently expressed viewi 
 on Total Abstinence, and would renew its earnest recommendation 
 that every minister preach at least one sermon in each year to 
 every congregation under his charcje, enforcing Mr. We-iley's senti* 
 uiuuts against the drinking and the sale of intoxicating liquors. 
 
 • 2. Tiiat this Conference earnestly recommends some form of 
 Tempjrauce effort in connection with all our Sabbath Schools, and 
 urges on all superintendents and teachers, because of the potency 
 of example, the practical adoption of Total Abstinence, and that 
 they place in the hands of the children such books and tracts as 
 will serve to inform them on the subject of Temperance, and guard 
 our youth against the pernicious drinking practices which now 
 prevail to an alarming extent. 
 
 3. That inasmuch as the rules of our church virtually constitute 
 it a Temperance Society, we heartily ap!)rove, and resptctfuUy 
 recomnieud the general adoption ot" a practice now ]jrevail.ng in 
 some of our Circuits of inorporatiug into the meetings of the

 tions of District Mi^utiugs came l)efore your Committee, 
 recommending more ilistinct Ciiurch action on this grave 
 and momentous subject. But it was evident to your Com- 
 mittee that the large amount of regular Conference business 
 which demanded consideration in a very limited tinie, 
 rendered it inexpedient to attempt the introduction and 
 discussion of propositions on which there would be widely 
 different opinions. The subject is too Vjist and weighty to 
 bo either slightly touched or speedily decideil, but we tnist 
 the day is not distant when the whole body of Christ's people 
 will i\nitedly stand tip against the encroachments and des- 
 tructive influences of the liquor traffic. 
 
 Your Ci^mmittee received a memorial from the Temper- 
 ance and Pi*ohibitory Leagues of Ontario and Quebec. We 
 refer to the Minutes of 18G9 for the judgment of the Con 
 
 ference in regard to these societies, which are only au 
 exjmnsion of the " Canada Temperance Union." It was 
 then resolved, "That this Conference hails with much 
 pleasure the formation of the Society designated the Canada 
 Tempemnce Union, having for its oliject the consolidation 
 and co-operation of all the various orgjinizatious of the 
 Country with a view to promote tho cause of total absti- 
 nence ami the entire suppresision of the liquor traffic, regard- 
 ing this effort as essentially Christian in its chai-acter, and 
 in perfect accordance with the views of Mr. Wesley, and 
 the general rules of the Methodist Churches."

 REPORT OF THE THEOLOGICAL DEPARTMENT 
 OF VICTORIA COLLEGE. 
 
 For some years past an eflTo^ t haa been made by the 
 Faculty of Arts in your Univ.^rsity to aftbrd all the aid 
 in their power to students preparing for the work of the 
 Christian Ministry. They have done this not only in 
 connection with the ethical, classical, and rhetorical instruc- 
 tion of the Arts course, but also by the establishment of 
 si>ecial classes in Theology, free to all who wished to 
 attend. Of these advantages no less than thirty-six young 
 men availed themselves during the four years preceding 
 the present. All these are now in the work of the ministry. 
 
 The appointment of Mr. Richard W. Wilson, B.A,, 
 as Classical Tutor, opened the way for compliance with the 
 expressed desii-e of the last Conference, that more system 
 and completeness shouli lie given to this department, and 
 with the advice of the President of Conference, the follow- 
 ing arrangements have been catried into effect during the 
 past year :

 The President of the University, in addition to the 
 usual chisHes in Logic, Ethias and MetaphyHics, took 
 charge of a class in Biblical Literature during the Hrst term 
 aud subsequently in Homiktics, meeting them for lecture 
 once a week throughout the yejir. 
 
 Professor Wilson formed a class in Angus* Bible Iland« 
 book, besides a junior and a senior class in Greek T«ata- 
 ment, devoting ta the^o subjects live hours a week the first 
 term, and throe the second. 
 
 Professor Burwash formed two classes in Theology : one 
 in Biblical History, and two in Hebrew, giving eight hours' 
 instruction a week. 
 
 A large number of Theological students have also received 
 instruction from Professor Reynar in Rhetoric. 
 
 The President of the Conference opened the course by 
 an admirable lecture on the duties and studies of a Chris* ^' 
 tian minister, and the special im|X)rtance of the study of 
 the word of God. 
 
 Twenty-seven students entered their names in these 
 classes, two of whom are preparing for the ministry in 
 other branches of the Methodist Church. Nine of those 
 were engaged in studies for the Conference preliminary 
 eiaminations, five of whom obtained certificates, and one 
 will offer himself for the Bible Christian Conference. 
 Six were engaged in studies of the tii*st year, two taking 
 certificates. Twelve were engaged in the studies of the 
 third and fourth years, and all obtained certificates, several 
 of the highest class. 
 
 The lectures in Homiletics hare been attended by ten 
 studeais; the classes in the Greek Testament by eleven ; 
 in Angus by seven ; in Holtrew by seven ; in Theology, 
 primary class, ten, advanced eleven ; in Bible History 
 by twelve. Besides these classes, eleven of the twenty- 
 seven aie carrying on the studies of the undergraduate 
 course. The others have received instruction in elemen- 
 tary Classics and English bi-anches, or in Rhetoric, Logic, 
 Metaphysics, Ethics, or Natural Science in the ordinary 
 College classes.

 " That this Committee having carefully considered the 
 Memorial of the Him. James Ffn-rier and others, in refer- 
 ence to the establishment of a Theological School in the 
 City of Montreal, under tlio control of the Conference, are 
 of opinion thiit the generous offer of the friends in Moatieal 
 should be prtimptly and gratefully accepted, and that wo 
 recommend the Conference to take immediate teps for 
 carrying out the object contemplated in the Memorial 
 referred to." 
 
 The subject was brought before the Conference, and after 
 a very earnest and exhaustive discussion of the preamble 
 and resolutions, they were adopted as follows: 
 
 Whereas the Hon. J. Ferrier, \Vm. Clendinneng, John 
 Torrance, and others of the W. M. Church in Montreal, 
 propose to endow a Theological Chair in the City of Mon- 
 treal, and for which purpose have already secured the sum 
 of $40,000, which sum is subsequently to be augmented ; 
 and whereas they further propose to place the said Theological 
 Department under the exclusive control and direction of 
 the Conference, with the following *o Reconditions, viz : —

 mittee's Report for Insurance : — 
 
 WhereM by our Church, through the trustees <rf its various 
 trust property, a large amount of money is annually paid to provide 
 against loss by fire, and that of the amount thus paid but a very 
 small portion is claimed to apply on losses ooourring, and 
 
 WherecM, some institutions of our Chursh, especially Victom 
 College, could be greatly advantaged by turning to good account 
 the bev:efit which now goes to aid in building up independent insur> 
 ance companies. 
 
 Therefore, Resolved, — Firsts That it is expedient and urgent

 ^lO !• We, on this solemn oceaston, devote ourselves afresh to God, and resolve, in 
 JiunUe dependence on His gnice, to be more than ever attentive to personal 
 religion, and to the Christian instruction and (iX>vernment of our families; 
 
 t. Let lu endeavour, in our public ministry, to preach constantly all those 
 leading and vital doctrines of the Qospel which particularly distinguiahed the 
 original Methodist preachers whom labours were so sifi^nally blesued by the Lord, 
 And to preach them in our pnnutive method, evangelicallyi experimentally, eeal 
 ously, and with great plainness of speech. 
 
 8. Let us consecrate ourselves fully atid entirely to our proper work, as servants 
 of Christ,— ifiving ourselves wholly to it, both in public and p/iva^e, and guarding 
 ag^st all oodupationa of our time and thoughts which have no direct connection 
 with our great calling, and which would injuriously divert our attention from the 
 momentous task of saving souls, and taking care of the flock of Christ. 
 
 4. Let us oovet earnestly the best gifts to qualify us for an acceptable and 
 useful ralnistry-^let us seek them in prayer from Him who is the Father of Lights 
 and Fountain of Wisdom— let us stir up and improve by diligent cultivation the 
 
 .gift that is in us, and strive in every way to be "workmen that need not to be 
 ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth :" taking cure, however, that whatever 
 
 iqualiflcations we acquire, otur Ministry shall, at least, by the Divine blessing, 
 always be characterized by sound evaagelical doctrine, and by the spirit of tender 
 
 .aHeetion and becoming eeaL 
 
 6. Let us frequently read, and carefully study, the duty of a preacher and 
 pattor, written in the 4th section of our Didciplinc, on page 4^-6. 
 
 6. Let us try in eveiy Circuit to open new places for preaching,— let us try 
 again places which have not been recently visited,— let us be increasingly attentive 
 to the supply and superintendence of all places already on the plan, — let us not be 
 satisfied till every house and neighbourhood sliall be blessed, as far as we possibly 
 (ian accomplish it, with the means of grace and salvation,— in a word, let every 
 Methodist preacher consider himself a Missionary, whose business U is to enlarge 
 and extend, aa well as keep the Circuit to which he is appointed. 
 
 7. Let us speak plainly and pointedly in every place, botii lit meetings of the 
 Society and in our sermons, on the duty and advantages of Christian Communion, 
 and exhort all who are seeking salvation to avail themselves without delay of the 
 help of ' more private means of grace. 
 
 8. Let us encourage public prayer-meetings. We recommend to our preachers, 
 in all cases where it is practicable, the establishment and superintendence of 
 prayer-meetings in private houses, as being calculated not only to call into excrciHO 
 the gifts of our people, and to promote their religious improvement, but also 
 to awaken others to the concerns of their souls, as well as to obtain the special 
 blessing of God upon the ministry of His Word. 
 
 0. Let us, wherever we have access and opportunity, bo diligent in pastoral 
 x^sits to our people at their own houses ; especially to the sick, the careless and the 
 lukewarm.

 let ua endeavour so to arrange, in our several Circuits, the plana for the quarterly 
 viiitation of the claasea aa to allow full time for a minute examination into 
 the Christian knowledge, experience, and practice of the membera, and for 
 paatoral enquiries^ instructions, and eounsela respeciiag personal and fjunily 
 religioB. 
 
 11. Let us regularly meet the class leaders, and examine their clasa papers a 
 Town and Country, — and do all we can to engage both them and our respected 
 brethren the Local Preachers to co-operate with us, in their respective depart^ 
 nenta, in promoting vital gt-dliness among our people and extending the work eC 
 the Lord, . , 
 
 12. As much depends, under the blessing of God, on the piety, knowledge, 
 and Christian temper of our leaders, as well as on their Arm attachment to the 
 doctrines, discipline and cause of Methodism,— let us never nominate a new 
 leader until we have conscientiously satisfied ourselves, by previous enquiry and 
 personal examination, as to his character and qualiflcationa. 
 
 18. Let us rffectionately, but firmly, enforce on the leadei^ as an essential 
 article of our pastoral discipline, and one which in consequence of our own 
 comtant Itinerancy cannot be dispensed with, the rule of the Society in which ii 
 is stated to be the duty of a leader to see each member of his class once a week. 
 
 14. Let us pay particular attention to backsliders, and endeavor in the spirit 
 of meekness to restore the- a that have been overtaken in a fault ;— uid by private 
 efforts, as well as by our public ministrations, to recover the fallen out of the 
 snare of the DevU, 
 
 16. Let us afresh enforce on all our people a conscientious attendance iin (h« 
 Lord's Supper. 
 
 Id We also resc.ve that there shall be a regular observance of the quarterly 
 fasts in all our Circuits, as directed in our discipline ; on which occasions public 
 prayer meeting shall be held in all our Societies, at thos^ hours which may b« 
 deemed most convenient for the attendance of our people. 
 
 17. Let us earnestly exhort all our Societies to make the best and most 
 religious use of the rest and leisure of the Lord's day— let us admonish any who 
 shall be found to neglect our public worship under pretence of visiting the sick, 
 or other similar engagements, — let us show to our people the evil of desecrating 
 those portions of the Sabbath which are not spent in public worship by visiting 
 or receiving company, to the neglect of private prayer, of the perusal of the 
 Scriptures and of family duties,— and let us ourselves " be living efristiea " to 
 enforce the Divine Conimand, " Remember the Sabbath Day, to keep it Uo^y." 
 
 18. In conducting our Leaders' and Quarterly Meetings, and in all other 
 ofllcial meetings among us, let us affectionately and H«eadily discountenance the 
 the spirit of strife and debate, and promote in the management of all affairs, both 
 by advice and example, the temper and manner of met. ho are acting for Ood 
 in the service of his church. Let the introduction of use'iess and irritating dls-

 prudently rcprewed— lot us remember that in a large body the only way to live In 
 peace and comfort is to walk by rule, and, to use the language of Mr. Wesley, not 
 to mend our rules, but to keep them for conscionue sake. And while we steadily 
 and cheerfully protect all our members in meetings in which we preside, in the 
 exercise of such functions as belong to them, according to known laws and general 
 usages, let us not fo. iret that we are under solemn obligations to conduct ourselres 
 on Hueh occasions, n as tha mere chairmen of public mc Jtings, but as the iMwtora 
 of Christian Societies, put in trust by the ordinance of Qod, and by their own 
 ■Voluntary association with us, with the scriptural superintendence of their 
 tpiritual affairs, and responsible to the great Head of the Church for the faithful 
 discharge of the duties of that trust. 
 
 19. Ev(3ry Superintendent is requested to leave for his successor a Circuit book, 
 which shall not only contain a list of the official members, and of the annual sub- 
 ■oribers to our reveral Funds, &c., but especially an exact list of the names of all 
 members in his Circuit, arranged in their several classes and societiea as found 
 at the last Quarterly Meeting of the year. 
 
 20. As we are deeply sensible that the great thing to be desired in order to a 
 revival and extension of the work of Qod, without which no resolutions, or labors, 
 or regulations will avail, is a new and more abundant efihuion of the Holy Spirit 
 on ourselves, on our Societies, and on our congregations, — we solemnly agree 
 to seek that blessing in humble and earnest prayer. And we hereby appoint, that 
 ■ome day to be agretd upon shall be observed in all our Circuits as a day of special 
 fasting and praj'er to Almighty Ood. Let meetings for public supplication be held 
 in as many places as possible in every Circuit, and let the preachers speak largely 
 and particularly on tho subject in their sermons on the preceding Lord's Day. 
 
 31. The various articles included in this Minute shall be read by every Chairman 
 at the regular Annual Meeting of his T>!«trict, and shall then be made the subject 
 of serious conversation among the brethren with a view to their particular bearing 
 on the spiritual state and circumstances of each District respectively.

 CONFERENCE OF THE WESLEYAN METHODIST 
 CHURCH IN CANADA,

 TO ndi 
 
 MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH UNDER ITS CARE 
 
 Dearly Beloved Brethren, — 
 
 After the lapse of six years we again present to you our 
 pastoral greetings from this eastern section of that extended 
 field which God has commissioned us to aid in cultivatLng. 
 In contrasting the circumstances under which we now meet 
 in this commercial metropolis of the province of Quebec, 
 compared with those associated with our last visit here as a 
 Conference, we feel deeply thankful to our Heavenly Father 
 for that providence which then guarded our iiomes in our 
 absence, and preserved our country from the sanguinary de- 
 signs of those who, if not prfvented, would have been the 
 successful agents of desolation and disaster throughout the 
 land. But our special duty in now addressing you limits 
 our review to the events of the Conferential year which has 
 just closed — a year which has not been marked by pny notice- 
 able interruption to that commercial and agriculiural pros- 
 perity with which these provinces have for several years 
 been blest. 
 
 The most important subject to which our attention can be 
 directed is that furnished in the spiritual condition of the 
 people committed to our care, and which the record of our 
 yearly operations presents. Thank God, it J" not a dis-

 on of the 
 rd of our 
 lot a dis- 
 
 couraging record ; yet we would it were even more cheering 
 than it is, and that it permitted us to chronicle greater vic- 
 tories in the name of Him who has commissioned us to go and 
 preach His gospel. 
 
 The returns from the several districts exhibit a member- 
 bership of 69,508, being an increase over last year of 2,709 ; 
 which, in view of deaths, and owing to defections from 
 various causes, may be regarded as representing at least 
 double that number to whom the gospel has proved ' the 
 power of God unto salvation." 
 
 We have cause for unbounded gratitude to the Divine 
 Source of all our mercies for the liberality indicated in the 
 state of the diiferent funds of the Church. They are, as a 
 whole, in a very satisfactory condition. In each of them an 
 increase has been reported. That however of the Superan- 
 nuation Fund — from which a small annuity is distributed to 
 those brethren who have givei to you the labors of their 
 youthful and most vigorous days, and a smaller yearly por- 
 tion to those whose partners and supporters God has taken 
 to Himself — presents the smallest advancement, and is not 
 fully equal to the legitimate demands of the year. This i&at 
 we leave with you without comment. 
 
 The Missionary Fund, we rejoice to say, not only main- 
 tains the high figure to which in past years it has been 
 raised, but the present exceeds in amount that of any 
 former year. The increase over last year is upwai'ds of $9,000. 
 
 Wisely and well has the Missionary Committeb acted in 
 taking steps, further to strengthen our missions in British 
 Columbia and Manitoba. Two more brethren are soon to 
 take their departure to each of these remote fields. The 
 value and importance of establishing churches in these new 
 countries cannot be too deeply felt by all the Protestant 
 denominations of this Dominion. Such are the convictions 
 of the Conference as to our obligations and reB}>onBibilitios 
 as a missionary chui'ch, that it has recommended the com- 
 mencement, at as early a date &a practicable, of a foreign 
 mission to Japan, or to some other pagan country, the con- 
 dition of whose millions calls loudly for Christian e£fort to

 give them that gO(ii)el which is for the salvation of the 
 nations. We fear the results of criminal delay to ourselves 
 and to them. 
 
 We invite your hearty co-operation in this hopeful purpose 
 — the co-operation of jMjnsonal consecration — which includes 
 prayer, reliance, and liberality. Qod's promise can never 
 fail. On this we ground our appeal to your benevolence. 
 " Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse that there may 
 be meat in mine house, and prove Me now herewith, saith 
 the Lord of Hosts, if I will not o|)en the windows of heaven, 
 and pour you out a blessing that there shall not be room 
 enough to receive it." 
 
 In this connection we would call your attention to vhe 
 '•tate of our Book Room, which we have much pleasure in 
 reporting in a most flourishing condition ; not only has 
 the past year been financially successful, but the literature 
 distributed from it is pure and good. You cannot too highly 
 value the direct and indirect advantages o*" a wholesome 
 literature : on the one hand so nourishi' V> heart and 
 intellect ; on the other, furnishing so effec ui antidote 
 
 to the corrupting and soul-destroying productions which so 
 alarmingly abound at the present time. 
 
 We again commend to you as a safe instructor, as a high 
 toned and eminently well conducted journal, the Christian 
 Guardian. We feel it a uuty to express our sense of obli- 
 gation to the Book Steward and to the Editor for the enter- 
 prise and ability which enabled them to carry out the purpose 
 of presenting the paper at the beginning of the civil year, 
 in its enlarged form. The result has more than met our 
 ^expectations, and we feel confident that our official organ 
 fwill become increasingly valuable, not only as a vehicle of 
 ^general information, but be felt on every circuit in our 
 provinces as an effective agency in co-operation with the 
 pulpit in raising the standard of piety, and in invigorating 
 the zeal of the entire church. 
 
 As it respects our literary institutions we are privileged 
 not only to speak of the successful operations of those al- 
 ready in existence, but to inform you of the efforts which 
 have been made for increasing their number. The Uni-

 verwity at ']!oboufg has been favoreti with a year of exceed- 
 ing 8ucc(i88. The Female Coll^je at Hamilton has secured 
 the confidence of our [)eople, and itn influence in felt beyond 
 the limits notonly of our Province but of our Dominion. The 
 prospective and efficient establishment of the Stanstead 
 College is most hopeful. It will, with judicious care, prove 
 eminently ' irviceable in those beautiful eastern to-.vnships ; 
 furnishing the means of a thorough education for the youth 
 of both sexes who may find it inconvenient to seek, at a 
 greater distance from home, the benefits and blessings which 
 a liberal education is competent to confer. 
 
 On the question of uiinisterial education we have the sin' 
 cerest pleasure in addressing you in reference to its theological 
 aspects. Already there has been established at Cobourg, 
 under the direction of the authorities of our University, a 
 Theological Dejjartment, with Professor Burwash as theo- 
 logical tutor. During the Be ion of Conference, proposals, 
 accompanied by generous o ors, were presented from our 
 people in Montraai, requesting that the long felt want of S 
 theological chair for the instruction of candidates in the 
 province of Quebec, be established in this city. The sum of 
 $50,0(10 to aid in the noble design was pledged. After a 
 protracted debate on the pro[K>sal, and a careful investigation 
 of the whole question, it was unanimously decided to aocept 
 the princely offer, so that now there will be afforded in 
 Ontario and Quebec ample facilities to ctmdidates for our 
 ministry, to procure in our own country a sound theological 
 training. Monti-eal is pledged to sustain the Theological 
 Department in Montreal. That at Cobourg shouM with, 
 equal liberality be sustained by Ontario. Subsequently to 
 the debate on this question, the Rev. Dr. Douglas was 
 unanimously chosen as the first theological tutor to occupy 
 the chair in Monti'eaL 
 
 Kindred to our literary and theological institution, is that 
 of our Sabbath-school. The report for the past year ig 
 encouraging and satisfactory, indicating success, and on the 
 part of the people increased liberality for its supi)ort. Evi- 
 dence is furnished of a deepened spirituality among the 
 teachers, and the cheering record is furnished of the conver-

 Bion during the jear of many of the cliildren to Christ j 
 without thi9 the most energ.?tic efforts would be compara- 
 tively valueless. 
 
 The present Conference has been characterized by the 
 introduction of some features of transcendent importance. 
 Prominent among these, are the proposed division of our own 
 Conference, and the organic union of Dominion Methodism. 
 Encouraging have been the results of endeavors on our part 
 to procure thfs desirable consummation. Eastern British 
 America holds out her willing hand, and the New Connexion 
 Methodist' Church has reiterate! its past sincerity, and is 
 now willing for any practicable union. The question of 
 division has been committed to a large committee, who will 
 prepare a scheme for the consideration of the next Confer- 
 ence. A committee has also been appointed to prepare the 
 details of a plan of union,. 
 
 During the present C'^nference we have been favored by 
 the presence of several deputations bearing friendly saluta- 
 tions. 
 
 * The Rev. Dr. Pickard, and the Rev. D. D. Currie, depu- 
 tation from the Conference of Eastern British America, 
 cheered us with words of comfort as to the spiritual condi- 
 tion of their churches, and spoke most encourngingly of the 
 prospects of organic Methodist union. The Rev. Luke 
 Wiseman, M.A., the Secnstary of the English Conference, 
 and one of the members ol the deputation to the General 
 Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church in the 
 United States, from whose counsels and ministrations we 
 have derived instruction and comfort. The Rev. Joseph 
 W. McKay, Secretary of the Irish Conference, and its 
 deputation to the General Conference of the M. E. Church, 
 paid our Conference a visit. It was necessarily very brief, 
 as he had to take his leave on the first day of our Confer- 
 ence, in order to be present at the opening of his own. His 
 address was full of hope for the future of Methodism in 
 Ireland, as it respects the advantages of their new College, 
 and in reference to their general pi osjierity. The Rev. Bowman 
 Stephenson, MA, who is a member of the English Confer- 
 ence, is heio on a mission of the most benevolent character.

 to procure a " distributing home" for any poor children who 
 me.y be sent out to this country ; Mr. S. is meeting with 
 success in carrying out his laudable design of procuring such 
 " a home " in this country. Deputations also bearing most 
 friendly and cordial greetings were received from the Pres- 
 byterian Church in Canada ; from the Conference of the 
 New Conr-8xion Methodist Church in this country, includ- 
 ing in it the Rev. Dr. Cooke, from London, England. The 
 members of this deputation were ardent in their i-ecommen- 
 dation of a federal Methodist union. A deputation from 
 the Congregational Union conveyed to us words of affection, 
 and of kindl; salutation. 
 
 Only one feature of a painful character demanded the 
 attention of the Confei*ence, namely, the intimation given 
 by our beloved President, Dr. Punshon, that duty would 
 render it necessary for him to return to England during the 
 ensuing year. In the command which summoned him away 
 he acquiesced, but he had uttered no word in directing it. 
 He said ''he wished ever to be as the passive clay, in every- 
 thing that referred to himself. He desired to have no will 
 of his own. He loved Canada. He was linked to it by the 
 living and by the dead." Many thousands will be the prayers 
 which will follow God's gifted servant, when the day cornea 
 to intimate his departure from our shores. The Conference 
 and the country are under a debt of obligation to our beloved 
 President, which they cannot repay. 
 
 During the various and sometimes exciting debates which 
 occupied the attention of the Conference^ — debates in which 
 a more than usually large number of ministers took part, 
 the spirit which ever makes the conduct of the Christian 
 gentleman, uniformly prevailed. 
 
 The religioiis services of the Conference were emioentiy 
 spiritual and profitable. 
 
 During the year eight ministers have died ; one of whom 
 had preached the Gospel for forty-five yeai-s, two for forty 
 years, and one for thirty. The other four wore young in 
 the blessed work ; they were early summoned from service 
 to reward.

 Eight were added to the superannuated list, and four were 
 restored to the effective work. So that by death and by 
 advancing years twelve have been taking from the ranks of 
 active and efficient laborers, but God who gives the work 
 has given other workers. Forty-four candidates have been 
 at this Conference received on trial, and twenty-eight who 
 had fulfilled their four years' probation were ordained to the 
 Christian ministry, and six have been received from other 
 Methodist bodies. 
 
 In the solemn duty of addressing to you this Pastoral 
 Letter of counsel and affection, we would not be forgetful 
 of the obligation of given to you words of godly admonition 
 as it regards i<he evils and temptations which are alarmingly 
 conspicious in this day. And if we iterate allusion especi- 
 ally to some of these in most of our yearly addresses to you, 
 it is because of their continuance and of their terrible 
 power, in impeding the progress of gospel tnith. Foremost 
 among these is mtemperance, and the habits which lead to it. 
 You will be gratified to learn that, with a view to the 
 arresting of the evils of intemperance, the first Conference 
 Temperance Meeting was held in this city on Tuesday even- 
 ing, the 11th inst. It was largely attended, was most 
 enthusiastic, and will prove eminently beneficial. 
 
 Permit us, dear brethren, to caution you against the 
 wordly spirit, the sin which is so apparent, and which is so 
 damaging to the prosperity of Zion. Moreover it should 
 not be forgotten that sacrifice and self-denial are still duties 
 of the Christian character. Be on your guard again«t self 
 indulgence and spiritual sloth, and against the many evil ten- 
 dencies of material prosperity. The admonition found in the 
 aphorism of Luther, "comfort is o^ie of Satan's greatest tempt- 
 ations," is worthy your serious consideration. Let your ex- 
 ample ever be powerful for good. Christian consistency is 
 a force always mighty, and is constant in its influence. We 
 would urge you to press continually forward in the Divine 
 life. Seek daily a higher spiritual life ; that Christian per- 
 fection which is the strength of the heart, and the strength 
 of the church. We rejoice that others, as well aa the "people 
 called Methodists," are giving prominence to this gra.ad

 Allow us to urge upon you the employment of pers'^nal 
 effort for the salvation of others. Sinnera abound, and 
 opportunities to seek their salvation abound. If the mem- 
 bership of our Church wei-e faithful to this obligation, the 
 increase in our members would be rapidly augmented. God 
 has given to our country remarkable temjx)ral prosperity, in 
 wMch you, dear brethren, have largely partaken. As 
 stewards, be faithful. Let your beneficence be systematic. 
 Proportionate giving is a duty and a blessing ; were it uni- 
 formly observed we would not now find some of our resources 
 so small as we are comj^elled to report them. 
 
 You will be satisfied to learn that the income tax on the 
 salaries of your ministers to aid in the sustentation cf 
 Victoria College has been abandoned, and a public collection 
 substituted. 
 
 We would earnestly urge you to enter upon the duties of 
 the ensuing year ia cordial co-operation with the ministers 
 who may in the providence of God be commissioned teachers 
 to you of the "glorious gospel of the ever blessed God." 
 Meet them in the spirit of prayer ; welcome them in the 
 spirit of love ; labour with them in the spirit of self sacrifice ; 
 and sustain them with a generosity which the spirit of 
 Christian benevolence demand.' 
 
 Finally, brethren, we would entreat you, fulfil the duties 
 of your spiritual priesthood ; be tnie to the obligations of 
 yoiu' kingship. Let the consecration of your spirit to God. 
 be constantly and cheerfully made. Let your daily walk 
 be distinguished by the meekness and majesty of Christian, 
 royalty ; and may the anthem on earth and in heaven be. 
 yours: " Unto him that loved us and washed us from our 
 sins in his own blood, and hath made us kings and priests 
 unto God and his Father : to Him be glory and dominioa 
 for ever and ever. Amen." -^

 r.*- 
 
 Reverend and Dear Brethren, — 
 
 We greet you in the name of the Lord, and pray that God 
 may speed your efforts to diffuse abroad the savour of Scrip- 
 tural truth and holiness. Your Address, so expressive of 
 " unabated affection " for us, and of your determination to 
 consecrate yourselves afresh " to the great soul-saving work 
 in which our fathers led the way," was received with thank- 
 fulness to God. It comforted us with the assurance that, 
 amid many changes in the nations and the churches around 
 us, you are unchanged in spirit, in desire, and in lave to us. 
 We have one parentage and one purpose ; and we rejoice 
 that your heart ia as ours, that you are resolved by God's 
 grace to be true to the spirit and the pattern of service set 
 for us by those into whose labours we have entered. 
 
 The presence among us of yo\ir highly esteemed Presi- 
 dent and r^epresentative, the Rev. V/illiam Morley Pun- 
 shon, M.A., has called up within us stirring memories of 
 the days when he was yet with us. To say that he has 
 been welcomed by us is to say little. We have rejoiced over 
 him with great joy as a brother beloved. We are not sur- 
 prised at your high appreciation of his talencs, and labours, 
 and personal qualities ; and we fully share with you that

 tive necessities, of the diiHcultiea and dangers of your 
 enterprise, and of your high resolve to brave every danger, 
 to grapple with every difficulty ; and, while building up the 
 work of God in cities and the older settlements, " to follow 
 the new settlers into the wilderness," and show to them the 
 path of salvation. To sustain and exemplify the aggressive 
 spirit of Methodism is one of our primary duties. 
 
 We trust that the relations of Canada with England will 
 remain long un^^isturbcd, and especially that the relations 
 between British and Canadian Methodism will become more 
 and more close, affectionate, and mutually helpful. On the 
 subject of Methodist union, we echo the sentiments of your 
 Representative, — that "it is a very desirable thing if it 
 could be accomplished without any sacrifice of principle, 
 and with every sacrifice of prejudice and crotchet." And 
 though the consolidation of the several branches of Metho- 
 dism into one United Church, may not be expected to take 
 place soon, and by some may not be desired ; yet we deem 
 it most desirable, if we read the signs of the times aright, 
 that they should draw as closely together as they can. Men 
 who preach the same soul-saving truths, and seek to inspire 
 the same spiritual life and joy, should not allow minor 
 shades of opinion to place them before the world in the 
 attitude rather of opponents than of allies. 
 
 Your nomination of Mr. Punshon as your President for 
 the next year we cordially approve, and have appointed him 
 accordingly. In making this appointment, however, we feel 
 it is due to say, that we look for the return of Mr. Punshon 
 to England as soon as is consistent with his own sense of 
 the obligation uuder which he now lies,, We also approve 
 and accept your nomination of the Rev. John Borland to be 
 Co-Delegate. 
 
 We congratulate you on the iusrease of members which 
 the laboui-8 of the past yoar have brought to you, as well 
 as on the general prosperity with which the Lord has been 
 pleased to favour you. We also have been blessed during 
 the past year with tokens of the Divine appi-oval, but have 
 to mourn over a decrease of members. While, however, 
 we humble ourselves before God on this account, we are

 not dificoTiraged. We have, if possible, stronger faith than 
 ever in the Divine truths of the glorious Gospel which we 
 preach, in tha Providence of God over His church, and in 
 the Holy Ghost, the Lord atid Giver of Life, the promise 
 of the Father, whom our exalted Saviour has sent down 
 for the 4nickening c^nd salvation of men. Moreover, we 
 have been rf^freshed, hnd our faith has been stimulated, 
 by the devotional spirit which has prevailed during the 
 iittings and the public dervices of the present Confer- 
 ence ; by the earnest, importimate prayers which have been 
 oflered ; by the general and heartfelt sympatliy with the sub- 
 ject of these prayers which has been expressed, and by the 
 soul-stirring sermons which have been preached. We have 
 the assurance thac God is in the midst of wb, and that He 
 will prosper* js in His holy work. Our resolve is to preach 
 the old truths, in that spirit of pure purpose and devoted 
 zeal which animated onr forefathers. We agree with yon 
 that " the sure foundation of law and liberty, the essential 
 elem 3nt of true civilization and happiness," is obedience to 
 the tiTith as it is in Jesus, and the saving experience of the 
 grace of the Gospel. This has been strongly impressed upon 
 us by the painful events on the Continent of Europe during 
 the last year. And, by the help of €rod, it is our determi- 
 nation amid all changes and social improvements to hold 
 fiist the old and pure doctrines of the Grospel of Christ, and to 
 teach that " God commandeth all men everywhere to repeat" 
 and believe the Grospel, if they would obtain His favour 
 and eternal life. 
 
 '■^ We join with you in the confession of abs< ate depend- 
 ence upon God for the fruitful ness of our labours; and, 
 while seeking in prayer a richer baptism of the Holy Spirit 
 upon our own families and congr^ations, we fervently im- 
 j)lore the great Head of the church to prosper you more 
 and mci« in your endeavours to bring sinners to Christ, and 
 to build up the church of the true and living God. ,^.

 ADDRESS OF THE CONFERENCE 
 
 "» 
 OP THE -* 
 
 WESLEY AN METHODIST CHURCH IN CANADA, OF 1872, 
 
 TO THE . 
 
 BRITISH WESLEY AN CONFERENCE IN ENGLAND. * 
 
 Reverend and Dear Fathers and Brethren, ^ 
 
 Your parental and affectionate address has given us 
 a double pleasure and a double ground of thankfulness ; 
 pleasure from the interehting contents of your epistle and 
 from the deepened impression of the blessed relations which 
 exist between you and us — thankfulness, for the unruffled 
 peace and general pix)sperity with which you are favoured 
 throughout the vast and widening field of both your home 
 and foreign work. 
 
 We are humbly, and we trust devoutly grateful to be abl# 
 to say, that no element of discord disturbs the tranquillity 
 or weakens the unity of our Church in any part of its ei» 
 tended operations; tha^ our building of commodious places 
 of worship hasi proceeded with a rapidity and to an extent 
 heretofore unknown among us ; that all our funds, both for 
 Missionary and domestic Church purposes, are in advance 
 of those of any preceding year; that our Educational In-^ 
 stitutions, including the Sunday Schools, have been marked 
 by unabated efficiency and growing prosperity ; that the 
 increase in our Societies has been nearly three thousand — 
 making the aggregate members of our Church 69,508, with* 
 at least five times that number attending our Ministry ; that 
 during our present Session, we have, after four years* trial 
 of labours and annual examinations, received into full con- 
 nexion and ordained twenty-eight additional fellow-helpers, 
 besides receiving six from other religious bodies, and have 
 also received forty-four young men on trial in the Ministerial 
 work. 
 
154 
 
 MIK'JTKfl OP THE CANADA 
 
 [1872. 
 
 For such manifestations of the Divine blessing upon our 
 own religious community, in connection with the general 
 peace and prosperity of our country, we cannot be too 
 thankful, while we are deeply humbled under a conscious- 
 ness of the many imperfections and unfaithfulnesses ^f our 
 own unworthy labour^. 
 
 But while we are permitted to rejoice with thankfulness 
 at these great successes, we aie admonished and made to 
 moura> on the removal from our militant ranks of eight of 
 our honoured and beloved brethren ; but they testified in 
 death, as they had done in life, that while to live is Christ, 
 to die is gain. 
 
 AmcHig the important subjects which have engaged our 
 at;;ention during the present session, is a Federal Union 
 between the Wesleyau Conference of Eastern British 
 America and ourselves, and a union between other Metho- 
 dist bodies and our own. In regard to the former, the 
 great principle of Federal Union, as desirable, has been 
 f^ffirmed by us, and concurred in by the representatives of 
 the Conference of Eastern British America ; and we believe 
 it only now remains to arrange and agree upon the details, 
 in regard to which we apprehend no serious difficulty. In 
 respect to the latter, progress has been made so far as that 
 the Conference of the Methodist New Connexion has ex- 
 pressed its approval of the principles of Union which had 
 been avowed by ourselves, and agreed to be recommended 
 by a United Committee appointed by the Conferences of 
 that bodj and our own. But the whole question has been 
 remitted to a large Committee for consideration in all its 
 details, to be reported upon at our next Conference. 
 
 The relations of our country to the Parent State com- 
 mand the loyal and strongest affections and sympathies of 
 all Canadians ; and in our own ecclesiastical relations to 
 you as the Parent Church, you hold the highest place in 
 ^e affectionate respect and heartfelt attachment of the 
 preachers and members of our whole Connexion. 
 
 These sentiments of loyal attachment to the Throne and 
 to the Empire, and of fervent affection to the Parent body 
 of Methodism, have been greatly intensified by tho min-

 istrations, labours, and intercourse of the Reverend William 
 Morley Punshon, LL,D., and by the short visit of the Rev. 
 Luke H. Wiseman, A.M., who, though he has not come to 
 our country as your representative, has so deeply interested 
 US by his able ministrations and instructive addresses, that 
 while we are under great obligations to him for them, and 
 regret that his visit has been so short, we shall deem it 
 a privilege to i^eceive him in any relation in which you may 
 think proper to appoint him to us. We have requested 
 Mr. Wiseman to act as our representative to you ; and to 
 him we refer you for detailed information in respect to the 
 state and prospects of our work in this country. 
 
 We have also been gratified by the presence, statements* 
 and ministrations of the Rev. Thomas Bowman Stephenson* 
 A.B., and have expressed our hearty sympathy with tlie 
 truly benevolent objects he is labouring to perform. 
 
 Of Dr. Punshon's labours throughout the length and breadth 
 of tais land, we cannot speak in language of due appi-ecia- 
 tion and gratitude. We thank the God of all wisdom and 
 grace for his many endowments and graces ; we thimk you 
 lor permitting him to remain so long among us ; and we 
 thank him for his unceasing toils, his scriptural ministrations, 
 his affectionate and wise counsels in the spiritual edification 
 of ourselves and people, and in the upbuilding and extension 
 of every department of our work. We would indeed deem 
 it a joy and blessing to ourselves, our people, and our 
 country, could he spend his valuable life among us ; but we 
 should be ungrateful and act unworthily did we attempt to 
 interpose these considerations, however deeply and widely 
 felt in this country, between Dr. Punshon and his early 
 associations, and his convictions of subn^ission to your 
 wishes and of duty to the Parent body and the Father- 
 land. Whenever he may return to you and to his native 
 land, while he will leave behind him noble memorials of his 
 labours and usefulness, he will carry with him the esteem, 
 the affection, and the prayers not only of ourselves and of 
 our whole Church, but of many thousands of the members 
 of other cliurches and of our country at large.

 On the deeply regretted retirement of Dr. Punnhon as 
 our President, we have by ballot nominated to that office 
 for the next year our honoured and beloved brother, the Rev. 
 SSamuel D. Rice, D.D. ; and as Co-Delegate, the Rev. 
 Ephraim B. Harper, M.A. We trust these nominations 
 will receive your cordial sanction. 
 
 We are sure yon will learn with pleasure from the Rev. 
 Luke H. Wiseman, that the proposed settlement of the only 
 unadjusted financial matter between yon and us, has been 
 < oucurred in on our part in a way that will be satisfactory to 
 you. You will be pleased to learn, that provision has been 
 made fur the more thorough and practical theological train- 
 ing of our Preachei-s on trial who are permitted to attend 
 Victoria College ; that a noble offer of $50,000 has been 
 made by some of our friends in Montreal for the establish- 
 ment of a branch Theological Institution there, under the 
 direction of the Conference — an offer which we have most 
 gratefully accepted, and appointed a Committee to give it 
 etfoot. 
 
 s Our deliberations on the several important subjects 
 which have engaged our attention during the present session, 
 have l>een uniformly characteiized by true brotherly affec- 
 tion and unity of spirit ; the public and devotional services 
 have been marked by hallowed influences and blessings ; we 
 go forth to our appc>*nted fields of labour with renewed 
 htrength in our own souls, with increasingly assured confi- 
 d«nice in the agencies of our Church, with firm purpose to 
 njamtain inviolate its discipline, to spend and to b« spent 
 in the work assigned ur by our Lord and Saviour, and to 
 implore with you those divine influences and outpourings 
 which bring the Gospel to the minds and hearts of men 
 " n«»t in word only, but in power, in the Holy Ghost, and 
 in nuich assurance."

 of the 
 
 Reverend and Bkix)ved Brethren, — 
 
 Your kind addresses issued at your session of 1870, and 
 at your last session, are roost gratefully received, and the 
 sentiments of love and simpathy they express are most 
 cordially reciprocated. 
 
 * Your representative, the Rev. S. D. Rice, D.D., whose 
 pulpit addresses have been a means of spiritual edification 
 to our congregations, and whose counsels have rendered »;« 
 essential aid in our Conferential deliberations, is most cordi- 
 ally welcomed, not only as one whose name if« associated 
 with the most pleasant recollections of othev years, bnt also 
 as one commissioned to bear to us the greetings and con- 
 gratulations of a body, between whom and oui-selves there 
 exist the ties of a common origin and a common intei'est. 
 
 In the increase of your cbuich membership, in the effici- 
 ency of your Educational Institutions, in the extension of 
 your Church accommodation, and the enlarged liberality of 
 your people, we thankfully re<;ognize the evidences of a 
 growing power and prosperity full of promise to the future 
 Dominion, and wliil , "we do not cease to give God thanks 
 for you, making mention of you in our j)rayer8," we hope in 
 the spirit of a holy rivalry to emulate the zeal and self- 
 devotion which have led to such grand results. 
 
 You will rejoice with us that though emigration and 
 other causes have produced a continuous di-ain on our church 
 membership, our returns show an increase of 368 members, 
 with 1|331 on trial, and that with us as with you these

 represent, not merely a nominal accession of spiri ual 
 power, since *• being justified by faith in our Lord J'^us 
 Christ," the seals of our apostleship are they in tbo Lord. 
 
 We give our tears to the grave of the veneruted Dr. 
 Cooney, whose labcurs of love are his memorial in these 
 provinces, and while We mourn over the loss uf three beloved 
 brethren who in the prime of life, and covered with the 
 honours and rewards of successful workmen in the Master's 
 vineyard, have left the ranks of our ministry to join the 
 " general assembly and church of the first-born in Heaven," 
 we are devoutly gratified that young men of promise 
 and piety are prejuired to take up the standard that has fallen 
 from their hands and to carry it into new and unoccupied 
 fields. 
 
 To such an extent has the work of God increased among 
 us, that we are unable to answer all the urgent calls that 
 eome to us for help, but the reception of the unusually large 
 number of eighteen young men of approA'ed qualifications, 
 as candidates for our ministry, encourage the hope that tiio 
 Lord of tho harvest will provide for the necessities of His 
 work. 
 
 '^ The religious education of the young, which by the lessons 
 of Scripture, by the traditions of our church, and by the 
 obligations which gr out of the consecration of their 
 infant being to God, we are led to conceive of, as indescnb- 
 ably important, is steadily advancing among us.

 thirty per cent, in advance of the previous year. 
 
 We gratefully acknowlrdge your kindneKs and courtesy 
 in consenting that the Institution should for another year 
 bftve the valuable services of the Rev. John Burwash, M.A., 
 whose Christian bearing and self-denying devotion to duty, 
 have elicited our warmest praise. 
 
 In our Theoligical Institution, underthe judicious teach- 
 ing of the Rev. Dr. Steward, six Students have been in- 
 structed in the doctrines of Christianity, as they were 
 understood by our fathors, and of this number throe have, 
 with all the advantage of this training, been appointed to 
 the active work. 
 
 t The subject of the Union of the two Conferences, which 
 is not now before us for the first time, has engaged our 
 deef)est interest. 
 
 We have appointed a Committee to act in connection 
 with a similar Committee of your body, with a view to 
 accomplish this grand pbject. 
 
 And when the details of a plan of Union shall be laid 
 before us under the strong impulse of hope that all the 
 Methodist bodies in British America shall soon become one 
 in church polity, as they are one in Christian faith, we shall 
 give to them our most prayerful consideration. 
 
 We have appointed as our Representatives to your next 
 Conference, the Rev. H. Pickai-d, D.D., ex-Presideat, and 
 the Rev. D. D. Currie, our Secretary, brethren honoured 
 and beloved for their many valuable services to our church, 
 who will convey to you our fraternal salutations, and com- 
 municate such further information respecting our work as 
 may be of interest to you. 
 
 The Rev. E. Botterell, whose increasing infirmities have 
 compelled him to retire from the active work of the pastorate, 
 is also commended to your affectionate regard. 
 
 Finally, brethren, farewell. Peace be to the brethren, and 
 love with faith, from God the Father, and the Lord Jesus 
 Christ.

 ADDRESS OF THE CANADA WESLEYAN 
 METHODIST CONFERENCE, 
 
 TO THE 
 
 CONFERENCE OF EASTERN BRITISH 
 AMERICA. 
 
 Rev. and Dear Brethren, — 
 
 The pleasing duty of reply to your truly welcome and 
 encouraging address f nds us the subject of emotions which 
 indicate a ripening of the friendly relation of the past into 
 one more intimate and interesting ; and if we rightly inter- 
 pret the spirit of your letter and the eloquent utterances of 
 the honoured brethren you have been pleased to depute to 
 us we think ourselves correct in the impression that the 
 warmth of regard of which we speak is sufficiently recipro- 
 cated to justify the hope of that closer bond which a simple 
 friendship does not contemplate ; if this opinion be correct 
 we may mutually hope that the negotiations entrusted to 
 iSe respective committees may encounter no barrier suffi- 
 cient to prevent the fallowship our growing intimacy appears 
 to crave. 
 
 In view therefore of this ssrious, and, as we believe, 
 destiued lelation we especially rejoice with you in the 
 successes to which your fraternal letter alludes, and we 
 assure jou thpt it affords us additional pleasure to be able 
 to say thjit in our still broader field of toil we too are full 
 of encouragement and hope. 
 
 We ere humbly grateful to the Giver of all good in the 
 announcement of a membership increased during the paat 
 year — our numbers being 2798 in excess of the member- 
 ship reported at our last Conference ; and it may be said of 
 all ouv Connexional Funds that they wore never in a more 
 prosperous condition than at this time. 
 
 Our Educational Institutions are at present commanding 
 special attention and regard. Victoria College steadily

 out-growing the temporary embarraasment occasioned by the 
 witbdrawal of Government aid was never in so promising a 
 position as at the present day. The Convocation held in 
 May was in every respoot distinguished above its predeces- 
 sora in the number of the degrees conferred and the profound 
 interest taken in its pix)ceedings by a large and appreciative 
 public. And you will" rejoice to learn that in addition to 
 the increased efficiency of its Faculty under the able Pre- 
 sidency of Rev. Dr. Nelles, there has been secured to the 
 TJniversity, a Theological Department long needed, which will 
 provide for the additional degree of " Bachelor of Divinity," 
 for which a suitable curriculum has been prepared. 
 
 The Wesleyan Female College at Hamilton under the 
 able GovemoiTship of the Rev. Dr. Rice is nobly emulating 
 the efficiency and prosperity of its relative at Cobourg, and 
 is not only more largely attended than ever, but steadily 
 becoming the foremost institution of the kind in the Dom^ 
 inion of Canada. 
 
 During the year an additional Institution of Learning 
 has been proj(Jcted to meet the wants of ov.r people in the 
 Province of Quebec, and there is encouragement to hope 
 that at no very distant day a nourishing College will be 
 established at Staustead ; while, for the establishmimt of 
 a Theological School in the city of Montreal, $40,000 have 
 heerx subscribed by n few of the membership of our Church 
 in that city. 
 
 In addition to the encourni^ements which appear in the 
 life of our Home Work it is proper to notice that in our 
 Missionary ejftbrts for the spread of the truth abroad there 
 are grounds for the most inspiring hope. Our Missions to 
 the new Province of Manitoba, and the increase of our Mis- 
 sionary staff in British CohuXibia and Vancouver Island 
 have justified the most sanguine expectations, and give 
 promise t^mt in these distant fields, Methodism will take 
 the prominent position which a kind Providence has vouch-*^ 
 safed to it at home. ^ .j:

 growing work we have special reason for encouragement, it

 With respect to the important question of Union we beg 
 to state that a Committee has been selected with whom any 
 Committee you may appuint may confer on the formation of 
 such basis of Union as is practicable in the accomplishment 
 of so desirable an object ; which basis is to be laid before the 
 respective Conferences for acceptance. 
 
 We have pleasure in acceding to your request, for the 
 continued permission of the ap;iointment by you of the Rev. 
 John Bill-wash, M.A., in connection with your College at

 POSTSCRIPT. 
 
 "C 
 
 Hie Secretary regreta tfa&t many of tlie letters andf cards relating 
 to "Thk Minutu9" were sent to Oshawa, instead of Toronto, 
 where the printing is done. Many wiahes came too late, and 
 therefore some inaccuracies may be found. The Minutes con- 
 tain more reading matter than in any previous year, and ipreat 
 care has been taken to ensure correctness. 
 The reader will please add the name of " Abel Edwards " to the 
 
 list of young men who have travelled three years. 
 At 186, CoUingwood, for "John " read "Joseph W. McCallum." 
 At 218, Rosemount, for "John," read *' JoaeiAi K. Gibson." 
 After John Learoyd, Yonge Street South, read " Eglingtou " as the 
 
 Post-Offioo address, instead of "Newtonbrooke." 
 To Scarboro' add the luuue of " William Coleman, Superannuated."
