spoak of the claims of the family when wa! talk of the claims ef the children. How! emphatic the expresivn then: and how! often men will sot up the claims of family in

pposition to the claims of the House of | God. Just as if there could be any an-| tagonism between the two. God has in- stituted the family and,ceriainly we are not! going to set the eterna! God at war in his | ow appointment. An _ inconsistency there would be if there was ar y war betworn the claima of the family and the church. We recognize the claims of home and of | society, and society is held by this bond. It | is «the stronghold of society. There! are national claims—the claims upon which | men pay their taxes—the claims by which

men originate and promote public enter- | prises-—Na'ional claims—political claims— |

gcoTT ACT AMENDMENTs.

Rev. Dr. Pickerd moved the following paolution, of which he had givea notice in te

Resived, —That we, the Miaistersal and lay | representatives of Meth in frou all parts of New Brunswick and Priaes Edward Island, pow axeembled in Annual Conference, embrace this opporturity to express our most decided disapproval of certain falsely so-called amend- ments to the Canada T¢ mperance Act of L878, receatly passed by the Senate of the Domine jon; and 9a the said s>-called amendmen‘s will, # they become law, reuder the saii Act gowerless for the accomplishment of its devgved important object—the suppression of the teadic ia intoxicating liqaor—we respect- faliy bet most emphatical y protest against concurrence therein by the Llouse of Commons; and we declare it is our s'lemn conviction thet any member of the tlouse of Commons voting in favor of any change ‘in the said law, tendiag in any way to less 2 its prohibitory sower, should, irrespective «f all party claims, be regarded asthereby forfeiting ail right to the confidence or support of every true patriot and friend of temperance? an! good order in his constituency.

Bon. W. Strong seconded it, Both the mover and seconder, and Rav. Job Shen- ton, President of (vnference, spoke iu its favor. M. PF. Pickard trusted the laymen were prepared at tle polls te stand by what was outlined as their aciion in this matter. Resolution was passed by an wu- snimous and rising vote. On motion it was resolved to telegraph the action of the Conferences to Mr. Jamieson, M.P. ,at once.

Qvvierence then preceeded to the ex- amination of Ministerial character. Alli the names were passed but one. At the request of the Minister against whom charges had been prepared, the matter was laid over #1] next day.

Next came up the question of probation- ers. Aftera somewhat lexgthy discussion respecting Rev. A. C. Bell's relation to the Uonierence, it was decided, on motioa of Rev. T. Marshall, that he be deemed as a probationer having had leave of absence for twelve months in order to attend Boston Thevlogical College.

Rev. Samuel Howard, B. A , was report- ed from the Fredericton District as having ‘stisfactorily filled the term of his pro- bation, and was recommended for ordina- fon and reception into full connection. Un motion of Rey. S. T. Teed an error tespectiog the date of Rev. W. H. Sprago’s entry into the Ministry was corrected. His Ministry is to be counted from 1878 instead of 1879, az in the printed minctes,

MEETING,

civil claims. How solid these things are ! | And how solid the recognition of them! | When we come to speak of the claims! of God and the claims of thi mi son work asi’ they were sunde~ed fror the human family, are not the claims f the Church of God as deep upon men as | 1s the claims of society. There are three | great societies—the family, the na-ional re- iationship andthe Church We sometimes talk thus: How came a man into the) family ? He was borninte it. How came! aman into the nation? He was born or! adopted intoit. What think you of a man | that spurns the family relationship? That | says : ‘‘iather, mother,sister and brother are | nothing to me?” What think you of « man that says nation is nothing toms? ff} recognizs no national claims. Plenty of peoplo talk that way about the Church of | God. Multitudes of men, in their conduct, would lead us to believe that the Church of | (rod is nothing totbem. A man may just | as soon scout the claims of family or of the nation as of the Church of God. But you | say, “ iwas born into the family or the| nation.” If you are here righteously aé all | you are born intothe Churc!: of God. Men} come in by birth. Every man and every | woman was once in the Church of Cod. | There is such a thiug as uuiversal redemp. | tion. ‘There is no such thing as universe] | salvation. If we are not in the Church we | have gone out of it. It is becanse the first acts of our lives were acts of dissbedience. The claims of the Church of God upon every man come right solidly down upon that firm and immovable baris upon which God has planted the human society, The general remarks I have made will apply to everything in connection with church work. In the enforcement of these claims we come to needs. Tie family has needs. An1 its needs come home upon parents. The Siate has needs, and its needs come home upon the intelligence of socicty. The Sta'e was never designed to tyrenn’s : over the people. The Ciaurch has needs, We have no high commission to spread the family over the earth. Tho first command is to multiply and replenish and fill the earth. As Britons, we think that there is nothing superior to the British rule. We know the government that has stood a thousand years and more—that has grown up by the peo- ple—gradually circumscribing the power of the throve. We think that there is nothing in the world like it. And we think iutelli- gently. But afterall we we have no sure command from Heaven to spread British rule to the ends of the world. t 13 need- ed in many countries. Nations are neoding political liberty. You go and preach civil freedom. You must plant the root from which civil liberty grows, which is the gos- pel of our Lord Jesus Christ. We might preach agriculture or sciencs, or political liberties. But the nation would not permit interference with the civil institutions We must take the apostolic plan— the plan of the Divine Saviour. See what Christianity has done! Slavery was once rampant in the earth, Christianity broke its power. It eventually cast it down. Christienity is casting down polygamy, and it is in bold struggle to-day with the liquor traffic. There is to be no revolution, no blood. It is to be done by the convictions of the people expressed by the ballot. Christianity is the hope of the uations. Therefore we are bound to the missionary work. We are bound to this work as Phi- lanthropists, as Christians, as Methodists. The Chairman concluded by wishing that the Church would raise this year $200,000 for missions.

Rev. R. Duncan read the report. After making suitable but brief refsrence to the various departments of the missionary work under the Church, and referring to the loss the Church had sustained by the death of Dr. Rica, it reported the income from the Conference to be :
