 Question V. 
 
 What Ministers have died since last Confer- 
 ence ? 
 
 Answer. 
 
 1. Alfred W. Turner. — He was the son of 
 the Rev. George Turner, who is a member of the 
 Wesleyan Methodist Conference of England, and 
 was educated at the Woodhouse Grove School, 
 in which he spent seven years, having the last 
 of the seven granted to him for his high moral 
 standing, and successful application to his studies. 
 
 Brother Turner was received on probation for 
 our ministry at the Conference of 1860, being re- 
 commended from the Newfoundland District, 
 wherein he laboured with exemplary diligence 
 until the year 1867. He was then stationed in 
 Halifax, Nova Scotia. There his preaching was 
 highly appreciated, for he opened and applied 
 the Word of God with clearness, simplicity and 
 unction. He was a true Methodist minister. He 
 seemed to forget no part of his work, and attend- 
 ed to all at the proper time. Sabbath Schools, 
 shared largely his fostering care. To the poor 
 and the afflicted he was a faithful friend, and an 
 edifying pastor. His mind, originally vigorous, 
 was well cultivated; his knowledge, consequent- 
 ly, was large, and his judgment mature, and yet 
 he was very modest and humble. He never 
 spared himself. His work is with the Lord, his 
 record is on high.

 During the last eighteen months of his life he 
 was too weak to undertake any public duty. 
 Although he suftered much, yet through grace 
 he was patient and resigned. Pulmonary dis- 
 ease, which compelled him to desist from his 
 much loved work, slowly, but constantly gained 
 ground until the weary wheels of life stood still, 
 and he exchanged mortality for life eternal. He 
 died at St. John's, Newfoundland, on the 27tli 
 day of Feb., 1871, in the thirty-third year of his 
 age, and the eleventh of his ministry. 
 
 2. John Winterbotham, who was born at Not- 
 tingham, England, May 14th, 1828, a»d died at 
 Pownal, Prince Edward Island, Sunday, March 
 21st, 1871. In infancy he was dedicated to God 
 by a pious mother, with reference to whom, in 
 his diary, he recorded that often, on her knees, 
 she held him up in her arms before the throne of 
 Grace, and with tears prayed he might be a man 
 of God, and a blessing to others. At the early 
 age of eight years, in connection with the Sun- 
 day School, he experienced the forgiveness of 
 Skin, and when only eleven and a half years old 
 met in class, and frequently conducted prayer^ 
 meetings, and exhorted in public. At the age of 
 seventeen he was accepted as a Local Preacher^ 
 in which capacity he labored for eleven years, 
 and was instrumental in the conversion of souls. 
 Feeling it to be his imperative duty to devote 
 himself entirely to the work of the ministry, he 
 crossed the Atlantic in 1856, and offered himself 
 as a candidate for the work in connection with 
 this Conference. During the fifteen years ol his 
 ministerial life he labored successfully in Nova 
 Scotia, Newfoundland; Cape Breton, and Princo 
 
1871] EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA, 7 
 
 Edward Island. He was emphatically an earnest, 
 active, useful and devoted man. To the young 
 p'eople, in his respective Circuits, he was warmly 
 attached, manifesting a special interest in their 
 welfare, and delighting to engage them in Mis- 
 sionary and other religious enterprises, so that it 
 was said at his death, " The children will miss 
 him." He was extremely patient under his se- 
 vere affliction, and although, on account of his 
 great sufferings, unable to converse much, what- 
 ever ho did say afforded satisfactory evidence 
 that his feet were on the Rock of Ages ; and his 
 brethren have the fullest confidence that he has 
 
 ♦• Found the rest they toil to find, 
 Landed in the arms of God." 
 
 3. William Dutton, a young man of great ^'ro- 
 mise, who, after laboring in Newfoundland for a 
 short period, was unexpectedly called to his T(y- 
 ward in heaven. He was greatly beloved by all 
 who had the pleasure of his acquaintance. He 
 was a faithful, zealous, devoted servant of Christ, 
 and in his death the Church has sustained a great 
 
 loss.

 Question XIT. 
 
 What are the Resolutions respecting the Cir* 
 cuit Aid and Contingent Fund V 
 
 Answer. 
 
 1. The Conference desirous to keep before the 
 members of our Societies and Congregations the 
 importance of this Fund to the interests of the 
 cause of God throughout its extended fields ot 
 evangelistic labour. , 
 
 The chief object contemplated is similar in 
 character and equal in importance to that of the 
 Home Mission Fund. The monies of the Home 
 Mission Fund are devoted to the opening up ot 
 new fields of toil, and aiding in sustaining them 
 so long as the yearly receipts of a station tor a. 
 married man reach only $350. But when the 
 receipts of any country mission are advanced 
 
 ail : 
 * 
 
 .., 
 
24 
 
 MINUTES OF CONFERENCE OP 
 
 [1871 
 
 beyond $350, all such stations come upon this 
 Fund for aid, as dependent Circuits, till in time 
 they become self-sustaining. 
 
 The number of Circuits requiring aid from this 
 Fund during the yea-' was forty-seven. These, 
 after receiving gruTits to supplement Circuit re- 
 ceipts, show that the ministers occupying them 
 bear deficiencies in their just claims, in the ag- 
 gregate, of $5300. 
 
 2. The second object contemplated appeals to 
 the Christian sympathy and benevolence of the 
 Church. It is the defraying of the funeral ex- 
 penses of ministers, or members of their families 
 that may be removed by death during the year, 
 and expenditure incurred in cases of severe af- 
 fliction in the families of ministers on dependent 
 Circuits. 
 
 3. The Conference deems it necessary to urge 
 the claims of this Fund upon the consideration of 
 all the friends of cur Church, under the convic- 
 tion that hitherto they have neither been suffi- 
 ciently apprehended nor supported by the coii- 
 nexion generally. The improvement in the in- 
 come to the Fund is only fourteen dollars in ad- 
 vance of 1869-70. 
 
 4. The Conference records with regret the 
 lemoval by death of the late Hon. John H. 
 Anderson, who for many years cheerfully and 
 faithfully discharged the duties of Lay Treasurer 
 of this Fund, and who by his valuable servi ea 
 contributed largely to the promotion of this and 
 other departments of our Church interests. 
 
 5. That the thanks of the Conference be pre- 
 sented to Rev. H. Pickard, D. D., the Treasurer, 
 for };is earnest attention to thejduties of his ofiice, 
 
1871]

 and also to the Rev. James Taylor, tor his faith- 
 ful services as Secretary. 
 
 HOME MISSION FUND. 
 
 Question XY. 
 
 What are the Resolutions of Conference re- 
 specting the Home Mission Fund ? 
 
 Answer. 
 
 The Conference has great Satisfaction in being 
 able to record that the subject of Home Missions 
 is occupying the earnest attention of many mem- 
 bers of our Church, and is growing in favor with 
 onr people generally. This is shown by the large 
 increase of the income of this Fund from Circuits 
 during the year, and by the expressions of sym- 
 pathy and deep interest in its behalf, spoken and 
 written, by influential members of our Church. 
 It has reason to hope that the organizing of a 
 Home Mission Society, for the better promotion 
 of the objects contemplated by the Fund, will 
 continue to have the hearty co-operation of our 
 people, and, ere long, result in such improvement 
 in its income as will greatly add to its efficiency 
 for the promotion of the glory of God, in extend- 
 ing the gospel of salvation to the destitute por- 
 tions of our Conference territory. 
 
 The follow^ing Regulations have been agreed 
 upon for the management of the Home Mission 
 organization : 
 
 1. This Society shall be called the Home 
 Missionary Society of the Conference of Eastern 
 British America.

 5. All Circuits raiding less than $350 annually 
 for the support of the ministry, shall be classed

 SUPERNUMERARY FUND.. 
 
 Question XVI. 
 
 "What does the Conference resolve respecting- 
 the Supernumerary Mmisters' and Ministers' 
 Widows' Fund ? 
 
 Answer. 
 
 1. The Conference most gratefully observes 
 that this important Fund continues to receive in- 
 creasing attention from our people by a uniform 
 improvement in the receipts from the Circuits 
 year by year, though it regrets to find a falling- 
 ofT in the amounts contrib'-^.ted this year on a few 
 of the more prominent Districts in the Conference. 
 
 2. Our Supernumerary Ministers and their fa- 
 milies are committed to the Church as a sacred 
 trust ; and we feel asLJured that according as they 
 are sustained, who have been Avorn out in the 
 service of the Master, and are confidently repos- 
 ing upon the benevolence of a people whose in- 
 terests are to them an increasing and exhausting 
 responsibility, God will Wess and prosper our 
 cause. 
 
 3. The Conference once more appeals to the 
 Church foi such an augmentation ot pecuniary 
 gifts and annual contributions to this Furd as 
 shall render its resources ample to meet all the 
 demands which the Providence of God may per- 
 mit in the future to fall upon it.

 What are the Resolutions of Conference with 
 respect to the Mount Allison Educational Insti- 
 tutions ? 
 
1871] 
 
 EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 
 
 29 
 
 Ans\/er. 
 
 1. This Conference has heard with real grati- 
 iication the Reports of the Collegiate and Aca- 
 demic Institutions, relative to the manner in 
 which the important interests entrusted to them 
 have been sustained during the past year. 
 
 2. That we recognize, in no ordinary degree, 
 the hand of Divine Providence as present in the 
 favor which these Institutions have received 
 from our people and the general public, in the 
 adaptation of the President, Principal and Pro- 
 fessors to their several responsible situations, and 
 the preservation from disease and death of thos'^ 
 who have been asftciated in any way with our 
 Halls of learning 
 
 3. That we would hereby unanimously and 
 earnestly pledge ourselves, as a Conference, to 
 sustain these Instituuions and the officers con- 
 trolling them, by sympathy^ co-operation and 
 prayer, feeling perfectly assured that their work 
 being under the supervision of the Conference 
 of E. B. America, is, in the highest sense, the 
 work of our Divine Master. • 
 
 4. The Conference has received, with much 
 satisfaction, the reports of the Professor and Ex- 
 amining Committee, respecting the Theological 
 Institution, for the past year, and has much plea- 
 sure in recording its due appreciation of the 
 valuable services of the Eev. C. Stewart, D. D., 
 in his arduous and responsible work of training 
 those young men who had been duly approved 
 as candidates for our ministrv. The Conference 
 is gratified to learn that, besides six regular stu- 
 dents, ten others have been allowed to enter the 
 Theological classes, who profess to believe that

 [1871 
 
 they have been called of God to preach the Gos- 
 pel, some of whom have been already accepted 
 ij.s probationers ; and desires to express its high 
 approval of the course and methods of study 
 adopted y the Professor as well adapted to pre- 
 pare our Thological students, not less for the 
 pastorate than for the pulpits of our Church. 
 
 5. The Conference has also to record its grati- 
 ficatioia at the result of the Educational Society 
 during the year, which has been so far success- 
 ful as to provide the maximum sum for four 
 scholarships for stude ^s in attendance, and would 
 earnestly recommend the Educational Society to 
 the more abundant liberality of our people in 
 view of the very great desirableness of a much 
 larger proportion of the candidates for our minis- 
 try being allowed to avail themselves of the ad- 
 vantages of a systematic course of study so soon 
 as the exigencies of our Circuit work will at all 
 admit of their attendance at Sackville. 
 
 6. The following shall be the course of study 
 appointed for probationers for our ministry, and 
 they are required to be examined particularly 
 upon it at the Annual Districts, viz : 
 
 Works upon which examination Books suggested for Reading 
 will be based. and Study,

 [1871 
 
 Answer. 
 
 1. Wo have great pleasure in- reporting a large, 
 increase in the Schools, Teachers and Scholars, 
 under our care, as shown in the following sum- 
 
 mary 
 
 2. But, believing that still greater success may 
 be accomplished in this department of our work 
 by earnest, united and well directed efibrt, we 
 would recommend that the Ministers, in their 
 several Circrits, visit the Schools as often as pos- 
 sible, and hold such services in the interest of 
 tlie same as they deem expedient and practi- 
 cable. 
 
 EDUCATIONAL SOCIETY. 
 
 Question XX. 
 
 What are the Eesolutions of Conference with 
 regard to the Conference Educational Society ? 
 
18711 
 
 EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 
 
 33 
 
 Answer. 
 
 1. The Conference would call the special at- 
 tention of the friends of our Church to the in- 
 creasing importance of the cause of Christian 
 Education. 
 
 2. The rapidity with which stirring events 
 transpire among the nations of the world, and the 
 persistent and insidious efforts of the enemies of 
 llie cross to subvert the principles of Christiani- 
 ty, render the subject of Education one that must 
 commend itself to every enlightened mind and 
 philantrophic heart. 
 
 H, Moreover, the connection that this subject 
 has with the Ministry of our Church, as well as 
 with our College and Academies at Mount Alli- 
 son, necessarily invest the operations of the Edu- 
 cational Society with an interest which calls for 
 practical sympathy and regard. 
 
 4. The Conference regrets that in the first year 
 of the existence of this Society, as a distinct or- 
 ganization, it has not generally secured that re- " 
 cognition, at the hands of the friends of our 
 Church, that its promoters anticipated, and whilst 
 it is expected that the Ministers should faithfully 
 observe the requirements of the Conbtitution of 
 the Society, it is likewise hoped that our people 
 will more largely and generally co-operate with 
 them.

 power to make this agency of our Clmroh, by the 
 Divine blessing, more efficient as a means of ad- 
 vancing the work of God. 
 
 2. That the Conference, believing the purpose 
 may be better accomplished hy earnest and 
 united effort, on the part of our Ministers and 
 people, would enjoin upon all who have the inter- 
 ests of the important enterprise at heart, to co- 
 operate in the measures which may be adopted 
 by our Book Steward and his Executive Commit- 
 tee, in giving a much more widely extended cir- 
 culation to The Provincial Wesleyan t^^an it has 
 hitherto attained. 
 
 3. The Conference still regards with great in- 
 terest the success and efficiency of our Book 
 Room, as an important means of checking the 
 current of unscriptural and soul-dectroying pub- 
 lications, and spreading abroad a, sound religious 
 literature, adapted to all ages and circumstances, 
 and therefore solicits the continued and increased 
 patronage of this agency of our Church, in order 
 that its ample facilities, for distributing valuable 
 religious publications may be recognized and 
 employed, and its usefulness more fully pi or > o<J 
 
 4. The Conference greatfully recogniie- • ' <■- 
 hand of a fostering Providence in the succv. : > 
 which has attended the strenuous efforts made 
 during the past year, especially by its laborious 
 Book Steward and Editor, to rescue the united 
 offices from serious embarrassment, aud most 
 confidently anticipates that with the muasurea 
 now adopted for their welfare, these valuable 
 agencies will shortly become more efficieirt than 
 ever. 
 
 5. The Conference regards, with loahngs of 
 
1871]

 real satisfaction and iippreciation, tlie energy and 
 devotion which have been brought to this new 
 and laborious task, in connection with The Pro- 
 vincial Wesleyan and Book Room, by the Rev. H. 
 Pickard, D. D., and would assure him of its abid- 
 ing sympathy and co-operation in all the mea- 
 sures which, by him, may be adopted for the 
 future prosperity of those interests of the Church 
 Lf which his talents are now consecrated.

 Resolves — (1.) That in view of this ijreat evil, 
 we would reiterate and earnestly enjoin upon all 
 our people the most careful and conscientious 
 observance of that rule given by the Rev. John 
 Wesley to the societies under his care, respect- 
 ing the use of intoxicatii drinks, viz. : '' Neither 
 buying or selling spirit aous liquors, nor drinking 
 them, unless in cases of extreme necessity."

 efforts of individuals and organizations to promote 
 the cause of temperance, and, so far as practica- 
 ble, will heartily co-operate in those laudable 
 efforts. 
 
 (3.) That as the Church of Christ should be 
 the most effectual promoter of moral reform, we 
 pledge ourselves to renewed efforts to purify and 
 preserve her from reproach, by discountenancing 
 all complicity of her members with the great evil 
 of intemperance, whether by drinking, manufac- 
 turing, selling, signing petitions for license, or 
 furnishing or rentmg places for the sale of intoxi- 
 cating liquors.

 aiEPORT OF THE HOME MISSIONARY SO^ 
 CIETY FOR 1*871. 
 
 In presenting this, their first Kcport of the 
 Home JVlissionary Society, the Committee cannot 
 retrain from congratulating the Churches on the* 
 energy displayed, and success attained, in con- 
 nection with iliia most important conferential 
 work. The insufficiency of our means to copo 
 with the growing necessities of the work of God 
 in our midst induced those, upon whom the care 
 of the Churches devolved, to launch with faith, 
 l-Tit not without some trembling, the scheme of 
 self nelp, that the great centres of population, 
 wealth and Christian enterprise might assist those 
 whose homes are scattered on the sea and hilL 
 side, and who, without outside aid, must remain 
 destitute of the preaclaiug of the Word of Life^ 
 and without pastoral oversight, sympathy antl 
 care. 
 
 The financial statement of the year now past is 
 as follows :

 Nineteen Stations in various parts of the Con- 
 ference %vere occupied throngh the entire year, 
 two others were supplied during only a portion 
 of the year, and three were without any minis- 
 terial labor in connection w^ith our Church. In 
 soma of these Stations God has been graciously 
 pleased to follow with the demonstration and 
 power of the Holy Ghost the Word preached. 
 
 In some of the cities and larger tow^ns efficient 
 Auxiliary Societies have been established, under 
 the direction of local Committees, whose praise- 
 worthy efforts have been largely instrumental in 
 bringing about the present healthy condition of 
 the Finances of the Society. 
 
 In conclusion the Committee would call the at- 
 tention of the Church to the yearly increasing 
 calls from new fields, and to the reiterated ap-

 peals for spiritual instruction, which continually 
 augment in earnestness and emphasis. 
 
 It is for us, in many places, to fi^o in and pos- 
 sess the land. The whitened fields invite the 
 harvesters. The waving grain waits tho reapers 
 sickle. Nmo is our opportunity, and now is the 
 accepted time, behold now is the day of salvation.

 APPENDIX 33.-ADDRESSES AND REPLIES. 
 
 THE PASTORAL ADDRESS 
 
 Of the Conference of the Wesleyan Methodist 
 Church in Eastern British America, to the 
 Members of the Church under its care, , 
 
 Dearly Belo '^ed Brethr-bn: — i 
 
 The ret am of the season for our assembling in 
 Conference affords us the opportunity for ad- 
 dressing to you our Christian and pastoral salu- 
 tations. We do not in cold conformity to custom, 
 nor in spiritless response to the call of duty, but 
 in obedience to the dictates of love and as filled 
 with solicitude for your welfare, gladly recogniz- 
 ing our obligations to take heed unto ourselves 
 and to all the flock over the which the Holy 
 •Ghost hath made us overseers, to teed the Church 
 of God which He hath purchased with His own 
 blood. 
 
 Our session has been greatly distinguished by 
 the presence of the spirit oi love. In the discus- 
 sion of all mattera, even those allowing greatest 
 room for differences of thought and action, we 
 have proved how good and how pleasant it is for 
 brethren to dwell together in unity. The public 
 services have been seasons of grace and holy 
 joy. The preached word has been in demonstra- 
 tion of the Spirit and with power. The interest 
 of our several Anniversary Meetings has been 
 well sustained, and from this we augur increased

 prosperity in the various departments of our 
 work which they represent. 
 
 The pleasure And profit of our several services 
 have been greatly increased by the presence of 
 the Rev. Jesse T. Peck, D. D., and the Rev. 
 George D. Carrow, D. D., representatives of the 
 Methodist Episcopal Church of the United States, 
 and the Rev. Samuel D. Rice, D. D., the repre- 
 sentative of the Canada Conference. These rev- 
 ered ministers, coming to us from powerful and 
 progressive branches of the Church, and being 
 men of rare gifts withal, have aided us by their 
 sagacious counsels, and have greatly encouraged 
 us by their word of hearty eheer. 
 
 Dr. Rice visited us not only to express the 
 fraternal feelings of our sister connexion, but 
 also to invite us to consider the practibility of a 
 union, into one grand and powerful Church, of the 
 different Methodistic bodies of British America. 
 We have cordially received him, and his message, 
 and have appointed a Committee to confer with 
 a similar Committee from the Canada Conference 
 on the subject of such union. 
 
 Nov- that the results of the year's prayer and 
 toil are tabulated so far as it is possible, to ex- 
 press these by figures, we find, on careful review, 
 that we have much occasion to remember with 
 gratitude the way in which the Lord our God 
 has led us. 
 
 Many of our Circuits have been the scenes of 
 special manifestation of saving power. Ffom the 
 lips of many have we heard the cry of repent- 
 ance, and many are the souls we have been pri- 
 vileged to guide to the cross of Christ. 
 
 We regret that we could not record a greater

 actual gain, but the figures expressing the nett 
 increase by no means represent the good ac- 
 complished. For in addition to the removal of 
 many by death, the tide of emigration for several 
 years past setting westward has carried many 
 from us. They go, we trust, to swell the mem- 
 bership of the Churches in :»ther lands. But we 
 are not satisfied with these results. When we 
 consider the number of our instrumentalities, the 
 extent of our opportunities, and above all the 
 rich investiture of spiritual power oifered to us 
 by our enthroned Lord we are greatly humbled. 
 He who walketh in the midst of the golden can- 
 dlesticks saith to us still, I know thy works. We 
 invite you, dear brethren, to join with us in re- 
 newed dedication to Christ and His work that 
 greater faithfulness may characterize us in doing 
 our part to win the world for God. 
 
 We commend again to your sympathies our 
 Connexional interests. We hope and believe 
 that the importance of our several funds to our 
 efficiency and prosperity as a Church will be yet 
 more fully appreciated. We thankfully recog-i 
 nize a considerable increase in the Home Mission 
 Fund. But we remind you that year by year 
 this Fund is made a greater necessity to us, and 
 unless it be largely augmented we cannot hope 
 to extend our work, nor even to maintain in due 
 efficiency that which we have already under- 
 taken. Meanwhile from every side come to us 
 the appeal of longing souls who look for the hast- 
 ening " feet of Him that bringeth good tidings^ 
 that publisheth peace, that bringeth good tidings 
 of good, that publisheth salvation." 
 
 We regret to find a decline in the receipts of

 our Foreign Misaionary Auxiliary. Do we need 
 to commend to you this time honoured interest ? 
 Its object is to aid in the conversion of the world. 
 The demand of nine hundred millions of perish- 
 ing souls for the evangel of life is as imperative 
 as ever. And the charge which the Lord Christ 
 still gives His Church is : " Go ye into all the 
 world and preach the Gospel to every creature." 
 
 Our College and Academies at Sackville we 
 regard as important agencies of our Church. 
 The principles which underlie their existence 
 and operations are such as have ever been sacred 
 in the eyes of intelligent Methodists — the neces- 
 sity for mental culture of the highest order com- 
 bined with constant inculcation of " the fear of 
 the Lord" which *' is the beginning of true wis- 
 dom." This is more than any state education 
 can insure to our young people ; and rejoiciHg 
 as we do in ihe provision which is now more ex- 
 tensively made for the improvement of our com. 
 mon schools, we would yet remind you that for 
 our youths who are striving after the higher at- 
 tainments of intellectual culture we deem the 
 Institutions at Sackville a providential arrange- 
 ment of the utmost importance. Here the youth 
 of both sexes are to be trained for the highest 
 service of the age and for the glory of the Be- 
 deemer. Here also is our " school of the pro- 
 phets" from which we may expect under proper 
 management and with God's blessing there shall 
 come forth for the labours of the Ministry, work- 
 men that need not be ashamed, who shall rightly 
 divide the word of truth. Let us then commend 
 these Institutions to your deepest interest, and 
 for both those who teach and those who learn let

 your prayers be daily offered at the throne of 
 ^race. 
 
 In this connexion we bring before your notice 
 again the Educational Society of the Conference, 
 one of whose chief objects is the aiding of young 
 smen, who, in response to the call of the spirit, 
 desire an educational equipment for the work of 
 the ministry, but have not the means to obtain 
 it. The just anticipations with which this So- 
 ciety was organized a year ago have not been 
 ^Uy realized, but we abide in the conviction 
 that its specific objects must commend it to all 
 of our people who will give them the thought 
 they deserve. 
 
 We have ^reat satisfaction in saying that un- 
 der the faithful and judicious management ot the 
 Rev. Dr. Piekard, the affairs of the Book Room 
 •and Provincial Wesleyan Office continue to im- 
 prove. The«e Institutions of our Church we 
 deem to be of great importance. We know that 
 they must continue to exert an influence bene- 
 ficial to our connexion, and our country, and we 
 liope to see them at an early day freed from pe- 
 cuniary embarrassment, and placed on a strong 
 finaiiciai basis. Next to the faithful preaching 
 of the Grospel by the living lips no instrumen- 
 tality can compare with a cheap and sound reli- 
 gious literature. With a sincere regard for your 
 welfare, and in love for the truth which w© 
 preach, we again commend to your notice our 
 Connexional organ, and the large and varied as-, 
 sortment of books always kept at our Book Room, 
 in Halifax.

 the fulness of manly power, in the midst of briglifr 
 promises and hopes. We dare not question tlio 
 wisdom of God herein aiid wo know that they do 
 not. Upon God's dealings with us in th's matter 
 the cloud rests which we cannot penetrate^ but 
 there is no cloud or mysiery to them. They left 
 indubitable evidence of their triumph over 
 death ; and now the-y are forever with tlm Lord. 
 We are admoaished by their early removal ; and 
 we resolve anew to work while it is day : the- 
 night Cometh when no man can work. 
 
 Five of our Brethren have been compelled to 
 retire, for the present, from the active work of 
 our ministry. Some of these we regret to say 
 are young men whom severe toil has laid aside. 
 Let US together pray that they may soon be re* 
 stored to the work ol their high vocation. 
 
 Eighteen young men have been re<;eived as 
 candidates for our ministry^ ten of v/hom, how- 
 ever, have come to us from beyond the Atlantic. 
 Even with this accession to our numbers, twenty- 
 four Circuits are left without the nece&sary sup- 
 ply. We lay this matter upon the hearts of our 
 people, and we would earnestly invite them to 
 faithfulness in the specific duty enjoined by the 
 Great Head of the Church. Pray ye therefore 
 the Lord of txie harvest, that He will send forth 
 labourers into His harvest. We entreat our 
 Christian young men,, upon whom God has con- 
 ferred the necobsary gifts, and whom, by His 
 Spirit, He is calling to the work of proclaiming 
 the Gospel, that they be not disobedient to the 
 heavenly calling. The opportunities for suitable 
 culture are within reach, and the heaven deslg.

 iiated man may bocoto-e a workman that needeth 
 not to be ashamed. 
 
 Wo would have you seriously ponder, and 
 deeply feel, that the foundation of all individual 
 usetulnoaa., and all church life and vigor, is per- 
 sonal devotion to Christ. As the individual 
 anembers are^ the Church in the aggregate must 
 be. We Would persuade you to a new and per- 
 fect dedication of yourselves to God. Bo not 
 satisfied t^ithont the dear enjoyment of this of- 
 fered blessing. We attach as much importance 
 as ever to the great Bible truth of present holi- 
 ness, and to the believer's privilege and obliga- 
 tion of being cleansed from sin-, and ■sanctified 
 wholly, and preserved blameless in spirit, soul 
 ■and body. We beseech you to seek with us this 
 higher state of Christian experience. Avail 
 yourselves of all means of grace within your 
 reach. As you value yo«r souls, do not neglect 
 the daily devotions of the closet. No Cnristian 
 can hope to ei^oy a high state of experience, of 
 to wield a powerful religious influence, without 
 the daily baptism of the soul with power from on 
 high. Be frequent and prayerful readers of the 
 Word of God. Submit all questions of duty to 
 its authoritative teaching. Stand fast in its doe- 
 trine and precepts with unshaken firmuess=. Ever 
 attach due importance to those means of grace 
 which your membership in the Church brings to 
 you. You cannot be too faithful in your attencV 
 'a nee upon the Class Meeting. The voluntary 
 neglect of this institution of our Church is a sure 
 sign of spiritual declension and docay. Not only 
 ias a test of Church membe: ".hip, but as a source 
 o£ Church life and power, wo prize this method

 our founder to adopt ; which, more than any one 
 thing of human devising, has exerted a powerful' 
 and beneficial influence on the history of Metho' 
 dism. and which, neve? more than* to-d&y, we are 
 bound to defend and maintain. Our week-night 
 gervices are prized by the more spiritually mind- 
 ed of otrr people, and we are persuaded that if 
 oiir Church members generally wo aM^ in. ^rang- 
 ing the hours and dtitieaof bttsiiaess^ make special 
 provision for th« week-night pTeachiftg and 
 prayer meeting,- the Church would receive a 
 great angmentatiofi of spirituality, and of moral 
 power. Need we speak to you agmn of the obli- 
 gation of keeping the Sabbath day holy ? In this 
 day of amti- Scriptural teaching fn referesce to' 
 the most important doctriimes aftd institntions of 
 God's Word, by those who profess to- receive ity^ 
 our pulpit, we rejoice to know, gives no uncer- 
 tain sound in regard to the Sabbath. By your 
 obedience to the Divine command help us to de- 
 fend the sanctity of the day of God. Guard, in 
 all things^ -against such appi'oach to the customs 
 of the world as will obliterate the distinction be- 
 tween it and you. Let your conduct be entirely 
 consistent with yonr profession. The world is 
 qiuick to discover, and eager to proclaim any 
 faults in the Christian character and life. 
 
 For all the irifmence which, by the most faith' 
 fill u»e of the means of grace ^ you can acquire 
 and wiel'i there are opportunity and call. Many 
 fields of Christian activity invite the employ- 
 ment of your energies. We attach great impor- 
 tance to the religious training of the childreu ot

 complishment. of this end, we commend to your 
 sympathy and fostering care the Sabbath School. 
 We rejoice in the growing efficiency and influ- 
 ence of this Christian instrumentality. The 
 Sunday School should be the nursery of our 
 Church, not merely by the instruction of the chil- 
 dren in the Word of God, but through their con- 
 version and introduction into the membership of 
 the Church. Have faith in the religious capaci- 
 ty of children, and make it the great object of 
 your Sabbath School labors to lead them now to 
 Christ. 
 
 The Home and Foreign departments of our 
 Missionary work ; the cause of Education now de- 
 manding so greatly the attention of Christians ; 
 the various departments of philanthrophic efforts, 
 and the work of God in your own immediate 
 neighborhood, and in connection with your own 
 local Church, afford all needed opportunity, yea, 
 make urgent appeals for the more faithful exer- 
 cise of personal labor, benevolence and prayer. 
 
 And now brethren we call you to prove all the 
 meaning of the Christian life. Let no influence 
 prevent your realization of the fullness of the 
 blessing of the Gospel of Christ. " The world 
 passeth away and the lust thereof — but he that 
 doeth the will of God abideth forever." Know 
 once for all that " ye are not your own, ye are 
 bought with a price." Do not forget that your 
 wealth is held in trust for God, and his work. 
 You have dedicated this also in your repentance- 
 vows ; and will a man rob God ? The Christian 
 Church elsewhere is rising to meet the respon- 
 sibilities which health imposes. Let us not be 
 laggards. As Christians, and as Methodists, we 
 
120

 are called to do much for our country and for 
 the world. Not more evidently did Providence 
 thrust out our fathers to arouse a slumbering 
 Church and nation, than God now calls I's to the 
 Avorkof spreading Scriptural holiness throughout 
 the land. We have never yet presented indiifer* 
 ences of faith and practice, the spectacle— a mel- 
 ancholy one for any branch of the Church co pre- 
 sent — of a house divided against itself, and 
 wasting its strength in internicine strife, and by 
 the grace of God we never shall. We love the 
 old Gospel; and will tolerate in our ministry no 
 introduction of doctrinal novelties, no frittering 
 away oi the simple saving truths. These foun- 
 dation doctrines of depravit}^, atonement, repent- 
 ance, justification by faith, a divine Saviour, and 
 a present, perfect salvation, be it ours ever to 
 proclaim. 
 
 We go forth to the toils of another year resolv* 
 ed to be faithful in labour, and fervent in prayer, 
 for the conversion of those to whom we preach. 
 We still need your utmost sympathy and assist- 
 ance. 
 
 " Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding 
 abundantly above all that we ask or think, ac- 
 cording to the power that worketh in us ; unto 
 Him be glory in the Church of Christ Jesus 
 throughout all ages, world without end." Amen.

 Reverekd and very DEAR Bretfren : — 
 
 Your afFectionate greetings, in common with 
 inany similar messages of loVe from various lands, 
 fill us with exceeding joy. " As cold Waters to 
 a thirsty soul, so is good news from a far coun. 
 try." We have been thus refreshed by the glad 
 tidings that in many of your Circuits there have 
 been special outpourings of the Spirit, and that 
 numbers have been converted to God. We 
 Would encourage you, emulating the earnest zeal 
 of our fathers, ever to aim at, and to expect, such 
 results. To save a realm from ruin j night be the 
 object of a Avorthy ambition, but every concei^^^ 
 able deed of secular beneficence sinks into nothing 
 in comparison with the rescue of souls. If, each 
 moment of all the ages, from the beginning until 
 novr, new made worlds had dropped in fresh 
 beauty from the forming hand of God, one single 
 soul were worth them all. We look with affec- 
 tion towards the young ministers who are enter- 
 ing your ranks, and cherish the hope that they 
 will be winners of souls. We also regard, with 
 undiminished esteem and deep sympathy, the ex*

 cellent bi'ethren now compelled, by age or infir* 
 mity, to abate i;lie fulness with which for so long 
 time they have laboured. We further tenderly 
 remember those whose course your obituaries 
 record as now fulfilled — Georije Miller, John 
 Bass Strong, and William Wilson, venerable men, 
 whose great honor it was to assist in laying the 
 foundations of your numerous and flourishing 
 Churches. The mention of them has awakened 
 among us many grateful recollections of their 
 eminent worth and wide success. We too, as in 
 other years, have lost from our number warm- 
 hearted evangelists^ pains-taking pastors, and 
 sage advisers. Among the fathers thus called 
 unto God we mention Isaac Keeling, an ex-Pre- 
 sident, a very diligent, observant; and unusually 
 accurate m'-in, whose sententious wisdom will 
 long be missed from our assemblies ; and Peter 
 McOwan, a thorough divine, a mighty preacher, 
 a careful shepherd of the flock, a trusted coun- 
 sellor^ and a very successful minister. The me- 
 morial of these worthies, yours and ours, will 
 never perish. Men who win empires write their 
 names in dust, but men who win souls carve 
 theirs upon the pillars of eternity. 
 
 Tho ide of emigration, bearing continually 
 westward so much of the fruit of your labour, 
 must not dismay you. Your spiritual children, 
 though, like the " strangers" to whom Peter 
 wrote, '' scattered'- and sundered, are, as they 
 were, "elect according to the foreknowledge of 
 God the Father, through sanctification of the 
 Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood 
 of Jesus Christ." The precious results of your 
 toil, though removed, will not be lost ; gone from

 yoti, but not from Christ, they are the se^d of 
 which harvests shall plentifnlly coMe in farther 
 fields. 
 
 tFnto US,, as unto yon^ God hath given increase r 
 but we, as yoUy have to deplore the smallness of 
 its amount. Limiting causes may be truly al' 
 leged ; but, after allowing fair weight to them all, 
 we refuse to be satisfied. Little success stands 
 in disappointing contrast with the proirises of 
 God and the glory of our theme. What a theme f 
 Salvation, full as the oceau, free as the air, lasting 
 a» eternity. Surely there is fliult in us. That 
 theme, v/orthily proclaiiMed, would move mem 
 ftio^e ! Had We Paul's fastingi^, prayers, tears, 
 toil and faith, the world would fall before n9. 
 Your avowal, in the face of the many and subtle 
 errors which abound, of renewed determination 
 to preach saving truth naore earnestly, is very 
 pleasant to us. Experience proves that even- 
 gelists, by prepossessing the heart, do far more 
 than polemics to keep the popular mind from- 
 harm. Simple "' witnessing" baffles disseminators 
 of false doctrine more than controversy can do. 
 Discussion often gives heresy the advantage of 
 an advertisement. There are occasions in which 
 controversy becomes a necessity, but, like war^ 
 it should only be entefed upon when nothing else 
 will serve. Fires of contention are more likely 
 to consume meekness than to amend mistakes. 
 He who holdeth a fortress upon all sides impreg- 
 nable— if but watchful of his own walls — needs 
 little trouble himself which way tb^ foe will come. 
 Profounder meditation of God's glorious truth; 
 and less distraction of the mmd about the devil's 
 lies, will be best for the heart, and be»t for the 
 
 ^i

 [1871 
 
 times. Truth is immutable ; error is ever change 
 ing and temporary. Steadiness and strength 
 come of rest on the immutable. Error may ove^ 
 5iang for a v^hile^ as a cloud does a rock, but the 
 I'ock will "be iiiere when the cloud is gone. •' The 
 Word of the Lord abideth forever." 
 
 "" Be ye clean that bear the vessels of the 
 Lord." '^ If any man will do His will, he shall 
 know of the doctrine." Conformity to the Divine 
 character helps isisight into the Divine Word. 
 The soul dwelling near to God is a man standing 
 tinder the direct rays of t.xO sun ; shadow is gone, 
 all al>ove and around is light. The beams that 
 fall in that noontime ot the heart smite not, but 
 heal. The success of yotir educational efforts 
 has been remarkable. Knowing that cultured 
 youth and well fhrnished ministers are the hope 
 of a isatpon, and the strength of a church, v/e 
 thankfully observe your academies and colleges 
 to be taking a front rank among those of your 
 cjountry. There is vitality where institutions 
 have force enough to perpetuate themselves ; this 
 yours already do. The sign is visible in your 
 goodly band of tutors and professors. Their fit^ 
 iiess proves the assiduity and excellence of your 
 earlier teaching labours ; their learning and train- 
 ing having been obtained'in the classes of your 
 own colleges. 
 
 We are glad to hear of the encouraging aspect 
 of your Book Affairs, The Book Room is an es- 
 sential part of the early Methodist plan. Our 
 Founder made extensive use of the Press. We 
 owe to John Wesley^s pen scarcely less than to 
 his preaching. He carefully set himself to or* 
 ganize means for the diftusion of godly literature 
 
1871]

 through the land. In this matter supply creates 
 demand. Books make readers. People assimi- 
 late the mental food they live upon ; the Churchy 
 therefore, cnnnot afford to be indifferent as to 
 what that food shall be. We, as our lathers did^ 
 must write books, print books, distribute books, 
 and push the sale of books, and that, not for pro- 
 fit, but fur the Churches sake and far the Lord's. 
 We exceedingly rejoice to see the prudent ma- 
 turing of your organizations, and the wise devel- 
 opment of your financial arrangements. We 
 mark, with happiness, your increasing vigor. 
 Vitality is more than forms. Laws — even ours — 
 without life, were vain things ; but laws guiding 
 life are important. Methodism, conservative, yet 
 not rapid, will easily adapt itself to every speci- 
 ality of your country. The history of our affili- 
 ated Conferences and alHed Chuiches has shown 
 that our system, like the bark of a tree, can ex- 
 pand without rending, and even shelter the 
 broadening life that dwells within. 
 
 The warn;!;h of your loyalty to the British 
 Throne, and the brotherhood you cherish for the 
 British people, delight us ; but, above all, we are 
 gladdened by your enlarged Missionary spirit 
 and growing zeal for the glory, and successful 
 service in the cause of our common Lord. 
 
 We have much pleasure, in accordance with 
 your request, in appointing the Rev. Henry Pop© 
 as your President, and the Rev. Samuel W. 
 Sprague as Co-Delegate, for the next year.

 Honoured Fathers and Brethren Bei»oved im 
 • Christ Jesus : — 
 
 We have a,gain been reminded by your Annual 
 Address, as tenderly admonitory and kindly per- 
 suasive of the increasing guardianship received 
 over our various interests by the Parent Body. 
 It was read to us while the happiest associations 
 of thoaght connected with our past, prosperous 
 ye^r, were lingering in our minds occasioned by 
 a grateful review of God's great favour toward 
 His servants and His Church. Goodness and 
 mercy have abounded in our Methodist bodies. 
 The Holy Spirit has visited, with special refreshr 
 ing, many portions of His vineyard ; and Minis- 
 ters and people seem animated toward new, en-

 deavours and perpetual conquests. That true 
 consecration of life, as well as labour, has contri- 
 buted to this blessed result, may reasonabl}' be 
 inferred from the absence of any, even the slight- 
 est, charges of immorality against the Brethren. 
 This we regard as the crowning mercy of the 
 year, though but an exemplification in itself of 
 our confidence that the injunction — Be ye holy 
 even as I am holy — has some practical meaning 
 for our adoption. 
 
 Again are we afflicted by the loss of good and 
 useful Ministers. Not the aged are we now 
 called to mourn. Three young men of gift and 
 promise have gone hence ; leaving an assurance 
 of their triumph in Christ Jesus, which turns our 
 sorrow into joy. A few of our Ministerial mem- 
 bers are retiring from this work, to enter upon a 
 merited repose, or seek renewed vigour for fature 
 toils in the Master's service. 
 
 Yet even here has our excess of solicitation 
 been rebuked, for God faithful to his promise, 
 has raised up, beyond our expectations, succes- 
 sors for those removed. Eighteen young men 
 have presented themselves before our Conference 
 as Candidates for the sacred office. Some of 
 these have been appointed to Circuits, and others 
 will enter our College for Theological training. 
 
 Our prospects for diffusing sound, and Scrip- 
 tural literature over this land are brightening 
 more and more. Our brethren, though generally 
 weighed down by financial deficiencies on their 
 Circuits, resolved to assume the additional re- 
 sponsibility of our Book Room debts. By the 
 able and judicious management ol our devoted

 liabilities aro gradually, but surely, being re- 
 moved v/ithout causing any serious inconvenience 
 to the Conference. J 
 
 The enterprise of Home Mission — in which, 
 though feebly, we endeavour to imitate your- 
 Eelvcs — has awakened great enthusiasm this year 
 among our people. Nor is their liberality in this 
 particular movement at the expense, in any way, 
 of our Foreign Mission. To the rause of God in 
 heathen lands we bear undiminished sympathy ; 
 for the final, universal conquest of the world by 
 the Captain of our Salvation, we continue to Lope 
 and pray.

 outgrowth of the ardent purpose obtaining 
 amongst us to (qualify our youth well for life and 
 prepare our rismg ministry for its high vocation 
 — has gained rapidly in the favor of our Church 
 and people. And our Collegiate and Academic 
 Institutions, toward whose efficiency it is thus 
 sought to continue, have again demonstrated 
 their adaption in every way to the combined 
 purposes for which they have been founded. 
 Their influence is felt in all the professions and 
 Institutions of our land. 
 
 Our Conference Session has been hallowed by 
 the presence of the Holy Ghost. We have not 
 permitted ourselves to repose under the appre- 
 hension that responsibility for individual influ- 
 ence had tenninated with the ecclesiastical year. 
 Never have the results of direct and faithful 
 effort been more signally marked upon a popula- 
 tion than during the past few days in this city of 
 St. John. And to the public addresses of Dele- 
 gates from other Conferences are we, in a great

 measure, indebted under God for this result. 
 From the General Conference of the Metho- 
 dist Episcopal Church of the United States, Dr. 
 Jesse T. Pock, and Dr. Geo. D. Carrow, have 
 conveyed to us fraternal greetings. The rich 
 expositions of Divine Truth, and the mature 
 counsel to which we have listened, from these 
 beloved and honoured Brethren, have cheered, 
 our hearts, while their descriptions of the won- 
 drous favour which God has bestowed upon 
 Methodism in their own land, hrni filled us with 
 devout gratitude. 
 
 The ardent desires for union — the yearnings of 
 Christian love toward others of kindred faith, 
 which arc beginning to distinguish the present 
 era, and afford conclusive evidence that Christ is 
 leading his people rapidly toward loving con- 
 quest — aru manifesting themselves in our Metho- 
 distio organizations. The Kev. S. D. Rice, D. D., 
 has appeared amongst us, conveying an expres- 
 sion of the desire recorded by the Canada Con- 
 ference at its recent Session, that we should, by 
 authorized delegates, confer with their represen- 
 tatives, on the subject of an early union of Metho- 
 dism throughout British America. To this re- 
 quest we have cheerfully consented, and we 
 hopefully look forward to such a consolidation of 
 all our interests as will ad J to our strength and 
 answer in part the prayer of our Lord — " That 
 they all may be one." 
 
 Our nomination last year, to the office of Pre- 
 pident, of Rev. Henry Pope, Junior, a name hon- 
 oured in our Conference, as in your own, has 
 contributed so greatly to the eatisiaction of our 
 brethren, that we are encouraged to present for

 your confirmation to that important office this 
 year, the names ot Rev. James U. Ifennij^ar ; and 
 we also solicit your favourable consicir ration of 
 the name of Rev. Charles Stewart, D. \K, for the 
 Co-I)clep:atc's Chair. The Rev. Dr. Scott, whose 
 Bervices in the past are gratefully acknosvledged, 
 is requested to represent us this year Jilso in the

 Revs. Thomas Angwin and George !*\ Milligan, 
 A. M., being about to visit the Britiyh Confer- 
 ence, are recommended to your alfecliunate re- 
 gard. 
 
 In our national relation we continue most 
 loyally attached to the illustrious royal Lady 
 whom we are ever proud to call our Queen. In 
 religious affection, while we cultivate a spirit of 
 the broadest catholicity, the family of Methodism 
 is specially endeared to us. And in every heart, 
 we cherish more and more as lime and grace 
 mature our strength and spiritual confi'dence, 
 the determination to hold and defend " the faith 
 once delivered to the saints." 
 
 Fathers and Brethren we again commend our- 
 selves to your solicitude, as a branch of the great 
 family of whic'i you are the head under Christ. 
 And we, in j x » .r behalf, will addresB the throne 
 of the heavenly grace, that wisdom, and influence 
 and prosperity may be ever afforded to you.

 We have had great joy in the receptioo of your

 D. D., and through him of your cordial and truly 
 fraternal greetings. We are greatly cheered by 
 both his aiid your account of the prosperity with 
 which God has favored you. We trust that your 
 efficiency and giacoees as a Church may be in the 
 future as in the past, amly more abundant in their 
 benefits to men; and that you 3iay be the means,

 daughters unto God. 
 
 The presence of Dr. Richey during the session 
 <>f our General Ooaaference has been the source 
 of exceeding pleasure. His earnest religious 
 bearing, his broad and kindly charity, and his 
 clear, strong and fervent utterances of evangeli- 
 cal truth, have greatly endeared him to us. 
 
 We would gratefully respond to your congratu- 
 lations, on the good it has pleac^^d God to accom>

 plish through the instrumentality of the Methodist 
 Episcopal Church. The history of the first cen- 
 tury of our ecclesiastical organization furnishes 
 abundant matter ot devout thanksgiving to God. 
 The handful of corn on the top of the nioun-. 
 tains has mnOtiplied! and diffu.sed itself tiH the- 
 fruit thereof shakes like Lebanon. The Church 
 which, at the beginnmg of the century, consist- 
 ed of five members, ik)w numbers more than 
 1,100,000, aside from the: organizations which 
 have separated from the- parent Church, and 
 ivnmber' nearlv ars many more. Our Sundav^ 
 Schools furnish scriptural iaetruotion* to more 
 than 1,000,000 scholars, and employ about 150,000 
 teachers. The cause of education has flourished 
 remarkably, and our religious and denoaainational) 
 literature hjas beea developed into a mighty 
 power. 
 
 Our Missionary Society has steadily grown in 
 means and effectiveness till in all the grand divi- 
 sions of the globe we have our moipient Confer-^ 
 ences, and the destitute population of our land 
 have the word of life preach, to themu 
 
 Our Ceatenapy comnxemoi-ation was aa. occasioa 
 of strengthening our denominiational ties, deepen- 
 iing the impressions of our responsibility, and ex- 
 citing in us a more earnest and, we trusty a more 
 hx)ly ambition, to use the great and manifold 
 means at oi£r disposal to advance the interests oi 
 the Redeemer's kingdom. It was a season not 
 only of rejoicing, over past achievements,, but 
 also of devising grand plans for future good. 
 The thank-offerings of the ministry and member- 
 »hip for all purposes amount, so far as reported,, 
 to $8^97:,6v^3. -

 Since the termination of tlie great conflict 
 througli which our nation has lately passed, and in 
 Avhich it pleased God to utterly destroy the cruel 
 system which had caused the rebellion, wide and 
 tnost important fields for many years heretofore 
 inaccessible to us have been opened, and large 
 ^accessions, have been made to oftr fold. 
 
 We rejoice that we are able to say to you that 
 the unchristian spirit of caste, which, by reason 
 of slavery had prevailed to a 'great extent in out* 
 "nation, operating against the interests of our 
 colored Brethren, is rapidly giving Way, and the 
 •multitudes who have hitherto been under its ban 
 are now recognized as equal children of the 
 Lord and brethren in Jesus Christ. 
 
 Most heartily do we reciprocate the kind senti'* 
 ments expressed by yoUr body concerning the 
 relations of the two nations with which we are 
 respectively connected. May the time be far 
 •distant when muttial jealousies and distrust shall 
 ■characterize, or in any way dist«rb, these amica- 
 ble relations. God. forbid that two great Protes- 
 tant peoples should, in a selfish struggle with 
 ^each other, exhaust those mighty energies and 
 waste those grand resources which, directed to 
 their proper objects, would speedily subdue the 
 world unto Christ, and make the saving health of 
 the M">st High to be known in all the earth. 
 
 We trust that the correspondence so auspici- 
 ously begun may lead to a closer intimacy be- 
 tween you and us, and that laboring together in 
 the Lord, each in our respective fields, we may 
 •come into such practical affiliation with each 
 other, and with all bodies of the Methodist name, 
 that our great business of spreading scriptural

 METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH,, 
 
 IN TilE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 
 
 Reverend and dear Fathers and Brethren : 
 
 It was with feelings of great satisfaction that 
 we received your Reply to our first Address to 
 
1871] 
 
 EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 
 
 135 
 
 your venerable Body, representing, as you do, 
 the largest organization of Methodists in the 
 world. We hasten with joy to communicate with 
 you again, and thus do our part to perpetuate a 
 correspondence which to us is most encouraging. 
 
 We received your epistle by the hands of the 
 Rev. Jesse T. Peck, D. D., and the Rev. George 
 D. Carrow, D. D., whom we welcomed with fra- 
 ternal delight. The oral statements of these 
 brethren have afforded us ample information con- 
 cerning the great work committed to your trust. 
 Their sei'vices in vour sanctuaries also contribute 
 ed to make our present Conference one ot un- 
 usual interest. The impressions produced by 
 their pulpit services on many hearts must, we 
 are sure, be of long continuance and productive 
 of gracious fruits. Whilst the sympathy they 
 manifested towards ourselves, and the favourable 
 opinion they kiiidly expressed of our work, have 
 induced us more cheerfully to proceed in the 
 way wherein we have been led by our Fathers 
 in the Gospel. Allow us then respectfully to 
 request that the favor of a similar deputation to 
 us may be granted at the ensuing Session ot the 
 General Conference. 
 
 We are unable to express the admiration we 
 entertain on account of your unprecedented pros- 
 perity and expansion. These are apparent in 
 your many Sunday Schools with their million of 
 of scholars, and a proportionate number of teach- 
 ers ; in your Missionary Society, which has hope- 
 fully plantsd its agencies in each of the grand 
 divisions of the globe, and in your Centenary 
 celebration, which, besides strengthening the 
 bond that holds together your numerous and ex-

 tended interests, has put you in possession of a 
 large sum of money, which, under Divine direc- 
 tion, you will know well how to expend for the 
 advancement of the work of God. In all this we 
 exceedingly rejoice. Your triumphs are ours. 
 There is, however, yet great room for the spread 
 of pure and iindefiled religion in the earth. We 
 heartily pray that you may advance as rapidly in 
 the years to come, as in the first century of your 
 existence, until the Redeemer's name shall be 
 sung in every land, by every tongue. 
 
 We share in the joy that your late gigantic 
 civil strife has ended, and that it resulted in the 
 extinction of slavery in all the vast domains of the 
 United States. We exult that people of color, 
 now elevated to citizenship, and receiving Chris* 
 tian education, are regarded equally with our- 
 selves, as being children of the great Paternal 
 Spirit, and the pnrchase of the blood of Christ. 
 In view of the great Past, with what emphasis 
 may it be said, " Behold what God hath wrought." 
 In anticipation of the Future we are ready to 
 believe that you will see greater things than 
 ihese, even the world regenerated by the univer- 
 sal and efficacious preaching of the Gospel of 
 Salvation. 
 
 The prospect of continued amicable relations 
 between your nation and our own is more hope- 
 ful now than when your Address to us was writ- 
 ten. Surely it is of the utmost importance to 
 Christian civilization in all lands, and the conver- 
 sion of all nations to God, that the United States 
 of America, and the kingdom of Great Britain, 
 should always remain on the most friendly terms 
 with each other. With ourselves as with you 
 
1871] 
 
 EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 
 
 137 
 
 this is sought in constant and fervent prayer by 
 an ever increasing number of the people of God. 
 May the divine Ruler make your government 
 and ours be of one mind on the questions in 
 which they are mutually concerned. Then shall 
 be seen the evangelising agents of both nations, 
 honoured to stand side by side in the front ranks 
 of those who are conquering the world for Christ. 
 
 We have mourned with you on account of the 
 losses you have suifered by the decease of the 
 late Bishops, Edward Thompson, Calvin Kingsley, 
 and Davis W. Clark. Their praise was in all the 
 Churches as men of learning, talents, and eminent 
 piety. Withdrawn from your councils they nre 
 not wholly lost to you, for their example and the 
 influence of their consecration remain. We pray 
 God that a double portion of their spirit may rest 
 upon the men who ma/ be called to sustain the 
 official positions which their departure has left 
 vacant. 
 
 You will be glad to be informed that we have 
 had a good year throughout our Conference. Wo 
 have been chastened indeed by the removal to 
 eternal rest, in comparatively early life of three 
 of our Brethren, but we have now received 
 eighteen candidates for our ministry. Some 
 hundreds have been added to our membership, 
 nothwithstanding the large emigration of our 
 people westward. Our Educational establish- 
 ments continue to answer their great design. As 
 in former years our Academies for males and 
 females, and our College, with which is connect- 
 ed a Theological Institution, largely repay our 
 fostering solicitude. Our greatest progress in 
 the year has been in our Homo Mission entef- 
 
138 
 
 MINUTES OF CONFERENCE OF 
 
 [1871 
 
 m 
 
 prise. This has taken a firm hold on the affec- 
 tions of our people, and drawn forth their liber- 
 jilitv, so that we are preparing to occupy other 
 fields oi" holy toil, in the more destitute parts of 
 the country, in which we are confident in God^ 
 we shall not be permitted to labour in vain. 
 
 Our Book Room and Connexional Organ, in the 
 management of the Rev. H. Pickard, D. D.. have 
 made decided improvement. We have no dis- 
 puting among ourselves. The land in all direc- 
 tions, to its utmost HmitSy lies accessible to us. 
 Tn the spirit which has made your Church so 
 great and useful we are endeavouring to live and 
 v'ork. We now rejoice in expectation of the 
 continued enlargement of our Societies, and shall 
 he glad to be permitted to assure you in due 
 time that our hope has been crowned with early 
 and full accomplishment. 
 
 Among the several Methodist bodies, in On- 
 tario, the possibility and desirableness of union 
 have of late received attention. Appropriately 
 broug]>^. under our consideration we have taken 
 me'^sures for co-operation with the Wesleyan 
 Methodist Conference of Canada, in this great 
 |)roject, by the appointment of two of our breth- 
 ren to confer with that Conference. If in the 
 providence of God, and by his grace, all Metho- 
 dists in this expanding Dominion shall be brought 
 into One Body, and be ever wisely animated by 
 the maxim bequeathed to us by the Founder of 
 Methodism, to spread scriptural holiness through- 
 out the land, we are persuaded the desired union 
 m ly be fraught with blessings to unborn myriads. 
 
 I3ut we cannot in this Address enlarge on all 
 the topics of common interest to you and to our-

 Heverend and 1>ear Brethren':— 
 
 We gratefully receive and cordially reciprocate 
 the fraternal greetings borne to us in the Ad- 
 ilress issued at your last Annual CoJaforence. 
 
 When we see you ^' stand in the old paths,'^ 
 and when we hear you summon ^^ all men every- 
 where to repent," and declare unto them that it 
 is the will of Qxrd^ even their sanctification, we 
 are not surprised to learn that the pleasure of 
 the Lord so prospers in your hands, that you can 
 annually point to hundreds who give themselves 
 ^' first to the Lord and then to his Church by the 
 will of God," and boast — *^ the seal of our Apos» 
 tleship are these in the Lord !" 
 
 We cannot fail to recognize in the continued 
 efficiency of your Educational Institutions, and 
 in the liberal support of your Connexional Funds, 
 the indices of a spiritual Church, as fully alive to 
 her Scriptural obligations as exultant in her 
 Gospel privilege«. 
 
 We have acceded to the requisition of your 
 College, and have authorized one of our esteemed 
 young graduates, and a member of this Confer-

 /onfcr- 
 
 ence, the Rev. John Burwash, M. A., to come to« 
 you for a time as a teacher in your Institution. 
 
 In the retrospect of the work on our extensive^ 
 Circuits and Missions, during the year, we rejoice 
 to be able to say coiycerning the Ministei*s and 
 Preachers, — " The had of the Lord was with 
 them, and a great number believed and turned 
 wnto the Lord." The increase on the year is 
 ^,088, making our total membership 64,688. 
 
 The emeute at Red River has naturalty inter- 
 fered with the important wo>rk of our beloved 
 Missionary, the Rev. George Young - but we 
 glorify God in him, that though he was "in perils 
 oft," as well as in " labors more abundant,'"'" he 
 heroically stood his ground, loyally maintaining 
 the honor of the Old Flag, and glorjnng in the 
 crofss of Christ. We would cherish the hjpe 
 thai;, as your Province has furnished the Go '-^ 
 ernor, and ours the soldiery, for Manitoba, wo 
 may jointly contribute to populate its fertile val- 
 leys, to enlist its people for Christ, and to lead 
 them to submit to Him on whose shoulder the 
 Father hath placed the Government. 
 
 The unprovoked an iniquitous invasion of our 
 soil, has served to roiase and intensify the spirit 
 of Christian patriotism, and to evoke the strongest 
 denunciations of the fanatical hordes implicated!, 
 and the most unqualified commendation O'f the 
 brave Volunteers who so promptly me-t and so- 
 easily routed the foe at our Frontier. 
 
 We mourn this, year the demise of several 
 Brethren beloved, some of whom we should de- 
 clare had fallen but too prematurely, were it not 
 that we mus>t and can say, — "Good is the will of 
 the Lord." One of these, the Rev. R. Cooney>

 will lament with us, though he came down to the 
 jgrave "like a shock of corn fully ripe." 
 
 0«ir hearts are pained and our work somewhat 
 tembarrasfied by the uimsually large nuaaber o«f 
 »our estimable co-laborers, who have felt them- 
 selves coHFpelled, through the partial or total 
 -failure of their healtli, to seek a Superannuated 
 or Superawmerary relation. We deplore the 
 practice, so long continaied amongst ua, oa the 
 plea of necesfeity, of crowding too many servicv^s 
 into the .Sabbath, causing so severe a strain on 
 the whole system, and contributing largely, we 
 are ooHvinced, to the serious disability of our 
 Minister's and Preacherp.. We are eatisfied, also, 
 that by perpetfuating this practice as one of ithe 
 concomitants of our four or two weeks Circuits, 
 we have been compelled to neglect unduly oui 
 centres of population, es|)ecially thriving villager, 
 to our denominational injury, inasnuich as other 
 denominations have reaped, but too largely, the 
 harveet of our sowing, by giving the people 
 preaching once or twice each Sabbath. 
 
 We are, moreover, moved by the paucity of 
 laborers and by the abjandant requirement, obe- 
 dient to the Master's injunction, to " pray the 
 Lord o^ the harvest to send forth laborer j into 
 His harvest." 
 
 We have been ^imusually favored during the 
 Comference now in session, in addition to the 
 counsel , and labors of our beloved President, the

 TO THE 
 CONFERENCE OF EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA. 
 
 Rev. and Dear Brethren :-— 
 
 That the Address of our last Conference, 
 through circumstances over which we had no 
 control, should have failed to reach you at the 
 proper time, is to us cause for sincere regret, 
 especially so, that in consequence thereof we are 
 without your fraternal greetings in reply.

 We assure you of our continued and increased 
 interest in all that pertains to your growth and 
 prosperity as a part of the great family of Me- 
 thodism. One in ancestry and filial relationship 
 to the Parent Body — one in doctrine, discipline 
 and untiring zeal for the salvation of souls, we 
 feel that your sorrows are our sorrows, and that 
 your triumphs are our triumphs. In the words 
 of our honored and venerated Founder, your mis- 
 sion and ours is " to spread scriptural holiness 
 over the land ;" and never recreant to a trust so 
 sacred, we shall never fail of the divine blessing, 
 and surely never fail of success in our great 
 work. 
 
 You have, no doubt, watched with gre^t inter- 
 est the initiatory steps which have be taken 
 toward a Union of the different Methodiot, i>odie8 
 in Ontario and Quebec ; and we hope the day h 
 not far distant when, upon a basis broad and 
 strong, that Union may be consummated. And 
 while, by the Act of Confederation, the Ministers 
 and people embraced within the boundaries of 
 your Conference are now subjects with us of one 
 Dominion, we confidently look forward to the time 
 when, beneath the flag of that Dominion, there 
 will be but one mighty Methodist organization, 
 with its voice of praise and prayer, and the pro- 
 clamation of a free and full salvation by a living 
 ministry, reaching from the shores of the Atlantic 
 to the shores of the Pacific Ocean ,* and we have 
 great pleasure in informing you of the appoint- 
 ment of a Committee to confer with a deputation 
 from your Conference, with the view of accom- 
 plishing so desirable an object. 
 
 Recognizing, as you do, the valtte of secular

 Kdncation upon Christian principles, and especL.

 success in a similar department of Christian work. 
 Upwards of Eighty Thousand Dollars navo been 
 subscribed toward the Endowment of the Univer- 
 sity of Victoria College, and of that amount more 
 than Forty Thousaiid Dollai's have been paid and 
 invested. The College is annually sending forth 
 jiumbers of young men, second to the Graduates 
 of no other ; and who, with cultivated intellects 
 ;and, in many instances, sanctified heartG, must 
 -exert a salutary icfluence upon their country's 
 future. 
 
 The Wesleyan Female College continues to en- 
 joy a large measure of public confidence and sup- 
 port. If the moral and religious training of the 
 families of the Dominion form its chswacter — and 
 if the mother's influence forms the character o£ 
 •the family-T— we cannot place too high an estimate 
 .upon the value of the work of the sister InstitU' 
 tions of the two Conferences — yours in Sackville, 
 and ours in Hamilton. To know that the labours 
 of the Kev. John Rurwash, M. A,, meet with your 
 hearty approval, gives us no surprise, and we 
 .cordially accede to the request of the College 
 Board, that his appointmeut be cc^tinued for 
 another year. 
 
 Our record for the past year coi^ains much 
 that is encouraging. With the rapid growth of 
 Agriculture, Manufactures a©d Conanerce, our 
 people are increasing in wealth aiid liberality ; 
 :and, consequently, we enjoy as a Church a large 
 oneasure of temiporal jjarosperity. Ckurches 2^d

 Parsonage?! are being built in large numbers ; and 
 many of the former are models of architecturai 
 skill and beauty. Our Oonnexional Funds are 
 liberally sustained, "..nd the Missionary Income 
 exhibits a gratifying increase. 
 
 With thankfulness and gratitude to the great 
 Head of the Church, we are enabled to report an 
 increase in the membership of more than two 
 thousand. But, amid much that is encouraging, 
 our want, in answer to earnest, fervent and be- 
 lieving prayer, is a mighty baptism, of the Holy 
 ►Spirit, influencing all classes of society and ex- 
 tending to every congregatiim. 
 
 The present oession of Conference has been 
 one of great harmony and brotherly love, and ite 
 public services in a very esjxicial manner have 
 been marked by the presence of the Master and 
 the unction of the Holv Ghost. Its memories 
 must be ever fragrant. And carrying with us 
 into our different fields of honourable toil, high 
 resolves for increased devotion to God, we confi- 
 dently hope for an enlarged outpouring of the 
 Holy Spirit, not confined to any instrumentality 
 or locality, but wide-spread and universal. Our 
 prayer is : May God hasten it in his time ! 
 
 We have great pleaC)Ure in informing you of the 
 appointment of the Rev. Samuel D. Rice, D.D., and 
 the Rev. James Elliot, one of the ex-Presidents, to 
 carry to you our fraternal greetings ; and trust 
 that their presence and addresses will aid you in 
 your Conference business, and increase the inter- 
 est and efficiency of your public servces. 
 
 And now, dear brethren, for the present we 
 say Farewell — earnestly praying that the bless- 
 ing of the great Head of tMe Church — whose we>

 are and whom we serve — may largely and riclilj' 
 rest upon you in all your (/onference delibera- 
 tions, and upon the congregations to which you 
 minister in holy things.

 THE ANSWER OF THE 
 
 Wcslej^'aii 3Xet,hoclist Ooiiforenco 
 
 OF EASTERN BRITISH AMERICA, 1871, 
 
 TO THE 
 ADDRESSES OF THE CANADA CONFERENCE, 1870-71 
 
 Reverend and Beloved Brethren : — 
 
 Your kind addresses issued at your Session of 
 1870, at your last Sossion, are most gratefully 
 received, and the sentiments of love and sympa- 
 thy 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 
 whoso counsels have rendered us essential aid in 
 our Conferential deliberations, is most cordially 
 welcomed, not only as one whose name is associ- 
 ated with the most pleasant recollections of other 
 vears, but also as one commissioned to bear to 
 us the greetings and congratulations of a body, 
 between whom and ourselves there exist the tie§ 
 of a common origin 10S§% common interest.

 MINUTES OF CONFERENCE OF 
 
 [1871 
 
 In the increase of your Church membership, in 
 the efficiency of your Educational Institutions, in 
 the extension of your Church accommodation, 
 and the enlarged liberality of your people, we 
 thankfully recognize the evidences of a growing 
 poAver and prosperity full of promise to the future 
 of this rising Dominion ; and while "we do not 
 cease to give God thanks for you, making men- 
 tion of you in our prayers," we hope in the spirit 
 of a holy rivalry to emulate the zeal and self-de- 
 votion which have led to such grand results. 
 
 You will rejoice with us that though emigra^ 
 tion and other causes have produced a continue 
 oi's drain on our Church membership, our returns 
 sliow an increase of 353 members, with 1331 on 
 trial, and chat with us as with you these repre^ 
 sent, not merely a nominal accession of denomi- 
 national strength, but an augmentation of spirit- 
 ual power, since "being justified by faith in our 
 Lord Jesus Christ," "the seals of our apostleship 
 are they in the Lord." 
 
 We give our tears to the grave of the venera- 
 ted Dr. Cooney, whose labors of love are his 
 memorial in these Provinces ; and while Vv'e 
 mourn over the loss of three beloved brethren 
 who in the prime of life, and covered with the 
 honors 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 de- 
 voutly gratified that young men of promise and 
 piety are prepared to take up the standard that 
 has fallen from their hands and carry it into new 
 and unoccupied fields. To such an extent Las 
 the work of God increased among us that we are

 unable to answer all the urgent calls that come 
 to us for help, but the reception of the unusually 
 large number of eighteen young men, of approv- 
 ed qualifications, as candidates for our ministry, 
 encourged the hope that the Lord of the harvest 
 Will provide for the necessities of His work. 
 
 The religioUM education of the young which, 
 by the lessons ol Scripture, by the traditions of 
 our Church, and by the obligations which grow 
 out of the consecration of their infant being to 
 God, we are led to conceive of as indescribably 
 important, is steadily advancing among us. In 
 our 330 Sabbath Schools, 17,863 children, under 
 the instruction of a routine which is becoming 
 more thorough and practical, are learning ele- 
 ments of knowledge and principles of conduct, 
 which in their maturity, by the blessing of God, 
 must give a most powerful and influential char- 
 acter to the next generation. 
 
 Our Educational Instii itions at Sackville still 
 maintain their ef^ciency. It is a source of en- 
 couragement to the Professors, and of satisfaction 
 to our Church, that recognizes its obligation to 
 give to those institutions a place in its sympathy 
 and prayers^ that the attendance during the last 
 year has been thirty per cent in advance of the 
 previous ye^w We gratefuU}'" acknowledge your 
 kindness and courtesy in consenting that the In* 
 stitution should, for another year, have the 
 benefit of the valuable services of the Rev. John 
 Burwash, M.A., wdiose Christian bearing and self- 
 denying devotion to duty have elicited our 
 warmest praise. 
 
 In our Thcologic ^l^In stitution, under the judi-

 dents have been instructed in tlie doctrines of 
 ('hristiiinity, as they were understood by our 
 fathers, and ot tliis number three have, with all 
 the advantage of this training, been appointed 
 to the active work. 
 
 Th(3 subject of the union of the two Confer- 
 ences, which is not now before us for the first 
 time, has engaged our deepest interest. We 
 have appointed a Committee to act in connexion 
 with a similar Committee of your body with a 
 view to accomplisli this grand object. 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 tliem our most 
 prayerful consideration. 
 
 We have appointed as our Representatives to 
 your next Conference, the Rev. H. Pickard, D.I)., 
 Ex-president, and the Rev. Duncan D. Currie, 
 our Secretarv, brethren honored and beloved for 
 their many valuable services to our Church, who 
 will convey to you our fraternal salutations, and 
 communicate such further information respecting 
 our work as mav be of interest to you. 
 
 The Rev. E. Botterell, whose increasing in- 
 firmities have compelled him to retire from the 
 active work of the pastorate, is also C( mmended 
 to your affectionate regard. 
 
 '' Finally, brethren, farewell. Peace be to the 
 brethren, and love with faith, from God the 
 Father, and the Lord Jesus Ch Ist."
