II QUESTION.— What parsons who were in full connexion with the Conference now cease to be recognized as Ministers among us? T. 0. Donohue desired letters of removal, which were granted. QUESTION. -What Ministers have died during the year? 1.— REY. ISAAC WELDON, Eldest son of Levi Weldoii, E8(|., of Mariposa, County of Victoria, was born on the 23rd of August, 1835, and die con vert eil to Ciod. The repentance that led him a seeking supiiliant to a throne of grace was deep and unfeigned, and the evidence of his acceptance with (iod al)ode with him till life's latest hour. From that memorable hour the one desire of his heart was to lead sinners to the Savioin-. In the year 1801, at the call of the Church i>nd under the constraining convictions of the Holy Spirit, Bv!>ther Weldon was enrolled among the candi- dates for the ministry, and for nearly twenty-f>)ur years he endeavoured tt) discharge the duties of his high vocat4(jn with fidelity and atfection and success. His ministerial life was spent on three districts, and on every circuit his labours were owned of God with success. On sonie fields of labour extensive revivals of religion, w.*-h large ac essions of converis to the Church of Chr'st, attested his fidelity to the Master and the Master's ap[)roval of His servant's work. Some two months after his i-eturn to Colborne from the Conference of 1884, the heavy hand "f sickness laid him aside from his loved work, Jaundice followed by drojisy, inducing cognate diseases, rapidly wasted the tissues of a strong and vigorous con.stitutinn until there was little left of the rol)ust and active man. During nearly eight months our dear brother bore b s afflictions with Christian patience and submission. He cherished the hope — it was hope against hope— almost to the last that the Lord would restore him to health and active service. He never wavered in his confidence in the Saviour. His lesti- mony to (iod's abiding presence and love was freely borne all the way to the end. In reply to the (jueation from his District Superintendeiit, shortly before he passed r.wpy : "Can you resign your all uito the hand of your Heavenly Father r' he said, "Yes; I am enabled to give myself, my beloved partner, find our four dear children, and my ministerial work all up,'' adding, "(iod will take care of me :'nd mine."' At the close of funeral scviccs, held in the church where he spe.it the ciosing years of his ininistry, and where his labours had been so largely successful, his remains were borne t() Lindsay for interment. Brother Weldon was a good man, highly honourable towards his brethren, and greath- beloved by them. He was faithful to the trust committed to him, deliberate and kind in his adnrinistration of Methodist di.seipline, and a clear and fearless preacher of the gospel of the grace of God. 12 MINUTES OF THE BAY OF yUlNTE [1S.S5 2.— REV. JOHN W. Bl'TOHER Wiis born in St. James, Suffolk, England, in the year 1821, and died at Peter- boro', ()nt., on tlio iHth of November, 1884, a!,'ed (ili years. When but a boy he came to Prince Edward Island and settled in Charlottetown. He was con- verted to God in his seventeenth year, in a revival held by the Kev. Mr. Knight, pastor of the old Wesleyan church in that city. His wf)rk tor Christ now began, and (lod blessed his labours abundantly. He assisted the late Rev. F. Metlierall (the tirst Bible Christian missionary sent to Prince Edward Island) in special services which resulted in the conversion of hundreds of souls. At the close ot these meetings, Hro. Butcher felt that his life work was the Christian ministry, and after much prayer to God for guidance, ho offered himself to the Bible Christian Conference in 1840. He was accepted by the Conference, and received his firs*^. apjiointment to the Union Station. For twenty-f(jur years he served the Church of his choice etiectively and acceptably in the Prince Edwanl Island mission work. During these years Tiro. Butcher laboured with untiring zeal, and sutl'ered many privations and hardships for his Master ; and yet, sustained by Divine grace and comforttd by the hew. 29. Yakker— Martin J.

PASTORAL ADJ)RESS. t ■■■'( ; ■■1i ■ n -■^ ■' T<> THE Officers anp ^lEMr-ERs of the Methodist Church in THE Bay of Quixte Conference. Beloved Brefhren, — Wo, j'our pastors and co-labourers in (/onfor(inc!(' asseinliled, prtsseiit you our accustomed aiuiual u;reetini;' in tlu-' name of the Lord. We unite with you in fervent thanksgiving to God in the retro- spect of the blessings of the year just closed, and in the joyouy hopes for the future that animate our hearts. The past year is forever memorable as the first of the corporate existence of o\u' united Methodism. The consolidation of the four Mctlioilist Churches in this country into a true and permanna union was an undertakiuir which miyht well lie termed an ecch'si- astical revolution — at once grand, ditiicult, and of furthest reaching couse(]Uences. That an enterprise endiracing such \ast and various and complicated interests could be inaugurated without a good deal of difficulty was not to be expected. That it has succeededso far. with so little friction and so nujch of thr^ s))irit of forbearance ainl true brotlierly kiuihicss, is a fact for which we render to God our profound gratitude. May we continue to cultiv.ite and manifest more and more of this blessed mind that was in Christ. Just here let us remind each other that if our union is to be in the highest sense successful, and if our Church is to accomplish the splendid purposes for which we are now I)eing e([uipped, we must juaintain the highest standard of Christian holiness. " Holiness unto the Lord " must be inscribed on all our bo^nners. May its mighty energy consecrate all our individual hearts. We devoutly return thanks to Ood that the baptism of the Holy Spirit has been descending in copious measure during the past year. God has set the seal of His approbation on our union in vouchsafing many gracious revivals of religion, in which multitudes have been led to Christ. Our net increase of members within the bounds of this Conference is over 2,900. We are deeph' grateful to I^SjJ METHODIST CONF EUENCE. 45 n/RCH IN- niirers m (Jod • let u.s pray and labour fur mucli greater things during the present year. We bespeak for all the ministers appointed by this Conference to Inbonr among you that cordial syiii])Htliy and eo-opt-ration which lias ever characterized the Methodist jjeople in days gone by. During the year several of our honoui'ed and belovtid brethren in the ministry have been removed by the hand of death. Tlu; Rev. Dr. nice, our Senior Gc^ieral Superintendent, has fittingly closed in Ihristian triumph a long and nolile career in the work of God. The memory also of Revs. Isaac Weldon and J. \V. Butcher will be clierished by multitudes who were leil to salvation through their zealous and faithful labours. With 3'ou, we mourn the sad events that have been occurring in the North-West. The rebellion, wickedly incited and stubbondy persisted in, has been met by an outburst of patriotism and self- >iioritice which can never be forgotten. We trust that the courage, emlurance, and devotion to duty, so signally e.\'hibiteil by on volunteers, may never again ivquire to be called into I'xercise in the .suppression of any similar insurrection. We trust in God that lasting peace may speedily be established in that distracted portion of our country : while to those whose beloved friends have fallen in the sti 'ggle, we extend our tenderest .'sympathies, and offer up our most fervent prayers on their behalf. We cannot but feel the highest .satisfaction in the fact that in no single instance have any of the Indians under the care of our C'hnrch taken any part in aiding this rebellion — a strong additional proof of the reality and power of our missionary lal)Ours among these p)eople, and a most co)ivincing argument for the great and innr.ediate extension of our missionary work among tliem. While the rebellion has had the ctiect of temporarily disorgan- izing our work ii the Xorth-West. we rejoice that elsewhere throughout the va.st missionary field the most cheering evidences of prosperity have been witnessed. The great educational interests and work of our Ghurch claim now, as never before, the most profound att(!ntion and the most judicious management. Wa trust that such a policy will be pursued as will be at once true to our Methodist history in the past, and the best for the great future of our Church and of our country. We heartily rejoice in the steady growth of the Temperance and Prohibition sentiment of this country. Elsewhere will be found the energetic and unanimous utterances of our Conference on the recent attempts to emasculate the Canada Temperance Act, and our fixed resolution never to falter until the liquor traffic is fully and finally prohibited throughout the land. ri 46 MINUTES OF THE BAY OF QUINTE [18,s:. Wo would most earnestly fall tlie attention of our peopK? onof more to the sacred duty and ur^^ont neei-ssity of increased lilieiality in Hustainini,' the various works of the Church. \V(.' tirnily bt'licvV that tilt' hvM. way of securinij this is l»y the univt-rsal adoption of tht- scriptural injunction of s^'stcuiatic and proportionate j^dvinLj. We cornniend the subject to the most serious and prayerful considera- tion of our j)eoplt'. Wo would also aijjain express our commondation of the inci'eas- ingly oxcellent literature of the Church, which for choapness, first- class MK.'chanical execution, hii^h literary, moral and religious worth is, wo think, unsurpassed on tliis continent. And now, beloved, we beseech you to be instant in the dischaige of all Christian duties. You who are parents, see to it that nothing' lernains undone on your part to secure the salvation of your childieii. Lot the class and prayer laeotings be deeply loved and faithfully attended. Guard with holy jealousy the sacred observance of tlw Lord's Day. Above all, let the life of God b(^ maintained in your own soul. Live very near to God, and labour hard to present to the woild in your own persons tho highest and noblest examplo.s of Christian character and achievement. Anil unto Him who is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless l)efore His presence witli exceeding joy, be glory for ever and ever. Amen. John Bredin, D.D., President.

Tli been not a local gift, but a gift to the Conference — almost every circuit sharing in this .supreme and indispensable blessing of tlu- Most High. As a re.;ult, many hundreds have been added to tin membership of the; Church. In connection with this great fact, it must be remembered how much we needed this cementing intiut nee of grace to bind into a couipact IkjcIv oitr Viut rccentlv ory,!iuicallv united Methodism: ami we liratefally accept the blessing of (Jod upon our labours as a 'jompleting evidence that in consmnmating Union we but fultillol His will. The general testimony concerning the Union, so far as it coiiM be gathered by your Committee, is, that, with vt-ry few exceptions. it has worked well, and thereby we have been taught that man\ of our fears w^ere baseless. The woi'k of grace, over which we I'ejoice, has had its own effect upon all the interests of the Church. While we thiiik it is true that there is a growing respect foi the Lortl's Day among our pecjple, we are satisfied that much re- mains to be done in the direction of cultivating a still more loyal feeling in regard to the proper observance of this great Christian holy day. Your Committee were unaniuK)Us in recognizing the fact tliat there has V)een of late an increase of temperance feeling and senti- ment and laljours, amounting to a revival, throughout all thf region covered by the Conference, and that this rising tide gi\es ]iromise of continuing its flow until the abomination of the liquor trade be for ever hidden from our view. Sabbath School statistics contirme to sJiow progress all along the line. Your Committee think that our congregations generally throughout the Conference are ripe for evangelistic work, and an- ticipate great good to follow the organization of a Conferenci Evangelistic Society. i^s.-)] M ETHODIST ( ON FEUEX( E. 51 •t'port as itual as- Mniio'bty ill coii- 2.S of tilt' rouiise of uiadc to nor liy o reiiiinii pirit has ).st every lo- (jf tile cd to tilt- )ei'euiiite Conference, this year, at least .S2,000.
