Joseph Seller said that he was perfectly satished with the working of this fund, and hy ped that we would n | destroy it. Rev. A. C.

“On motion of Dr Sprague, Conference affirmed that the resolution just passed was not to be thderstcod to be adverse to the Children’s Fund.

On motion of De.

s1I8TH DAY—MONDAY AFTETNOOW.

After singing, prayer was offered by Rov. John Read. Jovraal was read and approved. Conference then proceeded to the order of the day. ‘The superintendents of the districts read out the number of

members on each circuit. The totals for the districts are as bolow:— Oe rr , 2,016 nam 9 Lf wcunuununsreuee oar Ne eee covekkvbareas “iy. ee ce ne cae i 1,885 Te SPU 8 ow cer c cence ceoneees 512 eee OF. sce teens ee jigiccmme ts... vcavevensek ene - dvetenee

While these figuree were being read out, remarks by way of explanation, as well as questions, were asked by J. 8S. Marnie,

., Revs. Henry Daniel, J. A. Clarke, A. M., G. M. Campbell, I. N. Parker, Frederick Smallwood, and W. Heard, Eeq. and others. The Conference next had a conversation on the state of the work of Gfod. Rev. Silas James spoke in favor of having either istrict or Conference evangelists. '

Dr. Pickard referred to three matters, We ought to seek to get all our people en- gaged in personal effort. Another thought was that in planning our work for special effort we ought to have time for visitation from house to house ; and, again, a day for prayer and fasting might b set apart with advantage. Rev. R. Wilson said that from conversat.ons with several Superintendents in England he had arrived at an opinion adverse to the appointment of Conference evangelists. Such agencies tended some- times to discredit the regular services.

Rev. Henry Daniel said that this was a most important question and ought not lightly iP disposed of. We ought to be doing more than we are doing. We are thankful for past success, but our success is hot proportionate with our agencies. Hy strongly urged the necessity of maintaining our class meetings, Personal pety was de- clared to be the foundation of our work. He acknowledged that there was a 4iffi- culty in obtaining suitable class leaders.

Rev, A. Lucas said that we were now better prepared than ever before for carry: ing on our work.

Rev. C. H. Paisley, A. M., recom- mended the appointment of Conference Gvangelists. He said that if we lost ovr

spirituality the glory that had rested upon |

Us in the past would depart from us. Rev. J. Reid said that the Conference

evangelists’ expenses in Montreal had been Met without any difliculty whatever.

Robert Journal Evans,

Atter singing the hymn No. 678, com- menreing :

The Saviour when to Heaven He rose

In splendid truimp o’er His foes,

Seattered his gifts on men below,

And wide His royal bouaties flow.

The Rev, Henry Daniel, the Secretary of Conference, then narrated the different steps taken before a young men could be presented for ordination. After which the Rev. Samuel Howard, B. A., gave a brief statement of his conversion to God and eail to the ministry. Then tho rest of the ritual, as c ntained in the diseiplire, was A short time was devoted to silent prayer, After the ministers whose names have already been mentioned had solewnly set apart Mr. Howard to the work of the ministry, by the imposition of hands, the President placed a Bible in his handa, and gave him authority to preach and to administer the sacraments. Tho choir then sang ‘*I will wash my hands in innocency.”’

The following is the charge by Rev. J. Read, ex-President :—

seLrovepd Brovuer,—In the name of my venerable fathers in the ministry of this Conference, I hii you weleeme into the ranks of this see:ed cffice. In the name of our beloved people, who look to us ss those who shouldeare for th ir religious privileges and are expected to keep up & pure ministry, I congra‘ulate you. First remember this church into whose ministry you have this evening been solemnly set apart by the imposition of hands is a youthful church. It is the most youthful of the great family of lexding echurch:s. We have yet living on the earth; those whom Mr. Wesley took up in his arms and put his hands upon and blest, This will remind you of the youth ful character of the church into whose ministry you have been received. Two lives will measure our histery; but this fragment of time has been pregnant’ with some of the most thrilling events in the history of the church. One fiftieth of the human race are to-day called Methodists. Twerty-cight millions on the face of the earth are adherents of the different branches in the cons e lation of Methodiem. Thank Gol «me dectrine pervades this whole assemblage of Me hodist churches. One fourth of the people of North America ave called Methodists today. In our missionary and educational interests perhaps chere is no Protestant organization or indeed any organiz:tion which in its numer- ical and finaveial resources equa’s the vast enterprises of the Methodist Church. Ten millions poured into the treasury for educational purposes in the United States alone, give us two millions in advance of any other Protestant Church, We look upen this lerge amount and bless the name of our 1isen and exalted Master who has given us such a spirit of earnestness. The fields are opening to us, and the results tabulated already are cheering beyond measure. I also congratulate you upon being brought into the largest Protestant Communion on the face of the earth. In her domains you will find ample scope for all the powers God bas been pleased to endow you wits. Here you will feel encovragement for all your ambition. First consider our peculiar privileges. Peculiar I say because whatever may be the approach towards them in sister churches tu-day, the

istigma of t« achiug these peculiar deetrines,

for a time a: |. ast, be! nzed tous. And we see others particip tirg in some of these peculiar doctrines to-day, we none the less recognize them as the peculiar doctrines and usages which God in his providence, com- mitted to our fathers. And they ‘constant- ly promulgated them until what was a by word and reproach became an honor to any Christian communion that might endorse them. Weare grateful to Almighty God for this change. The universality of the atonement is the broad platform upon which you will presch Jesus. Whisper it softly to the dying and to the poor sick. Tell of a Saviour equal to the wants of a fallen world. Wherever there is a soul there is a Saviour, He is equal to all the possible needs of the same. The re- sources of redemption are commensurate with man’s wants. God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Sen that whosoever believeth in him shouldnot perish but have everlasting life. Proclaim this glorious redemption, 80 far as you can, to the human race. Then we have the pecu- liar privi'ege of doctrine that the spirit strives with everyone. Before you can appeal to the mind of the hearer in the sanctuary or the wayside or the home, that spirit has been knocking at the door of the heart. Whenever you stand between the living and the dead, and hold up a crucified Saviour, remember that the: eternal spirit has been in every part of ths audience. Everyene has felt a measure of the

Divine influence, Some of wus on this platform would have no hope

of doing good if it were wot for this belief, ‘This makes us expect and be- lieve that sinnors will be converted under ‘us. We believe in deep repentence, in the | fountaine of the heart being broken up, in the whole spiritual nature being deeply hurabled in the presence of a God, of justice, The sinner trembles. He fee's nothing but death; nothing but condemnation, and

Dr. Stewart thought that while we had RO Teason for serious discouragements, we

cries out in the bitterness of his soul. All

We ought |

, not attempt to evther up the results of their efforts. He

the heart is surcharged with sorrow and moved with true repentance. Thin lhe cries, ‘‘Men and brethren what inust | ,40?” Believe that God is abic thus to convince and move souls, Wo believe ina clear kuowledge of justification through the blood of Jesus, that our people may stand and become witnesses for Christ, feeling that they have consec: :ted all ther powers to Jesus. They bave the witness of the spirit. They have the consciousness that the great work of salvation has be+n done. ‘they ace free—fiec through the blood of the everlasting Covenant. O bro ther! you, can tell the vilest sinners, you can tell the most desponding whom you may meet-——the most discouraging case— (here is biood that can wash whiter than snow. There is a spirit that can sanctily the whole nature. There is a divine power that cau bless with full salvation and fit for high and close companivnship with Jesus. We tell oue people that having felt this warming of the heart, the wonderful work has commenced, We tell our people to go perfection, They must go cn tll every power is Jaid on the altar as a fu'l and free sacrifice, And how can you du this unless you have it yourselt! By» holy and teach your pesple to be holy. Again there ia cur polity. You have no business here uniess you heartily believe our doctrines. And if we do not believe our doctrines we should walk out of the Church, We should acknowledge plainly that we cannot enforce the discipiine of the Church. But we know yeu. You are true to the doctrines and the polity of our Church. You believe in this system of discipline found in our book. It will require all your courage and judgment to wisely enforce this. Ba caretul of your

on to

acts. Be very correct. Bo sure you are right. Do not be afraid. The rich and

intelligent pecple; the mo:t experienc el will find no fault with you if you faithfully administer the laws ‘of this book. You heave the s rmn.th end intelligence of the Church at your back, Se attempt to reasonably enforce the discipline of your Church, -In the usages of our Church we have peculiar privileges. There is not only the holy Sabbath public services, when the people come up to the Sanctuary in large numbers, but there are our special social services. There are meetings for prayer and the recital of Christian exper- lence. ‘There is that service which is sometimes called tha social service, and sometimes the przyer meeting. O, see to it that you encourage your people to pray, aud to speak and to sing. No qualification is more needed then that of singing. Also you will be §required to sing to the sick and to sorrowful ani in the services, See that you do not restrict those who want

to sing. You will find in the class meeting an index of the Christian life of tho church. When yon are in the classroom,

aud every brother and sister may there be found, you will gain ubundant material fir obtaining a knowledge of the spiritual life of the church. Your quarterly visitation of the glass meetings, and your lovefeast will tell you whether the people are progressing or retrograding. In this way you will find a blessed opportunity of speaking a word for Jesus, and of asceriainnga knowledge of the spiritaa] condition of your people we would recommend you to remember that there are not only privileges, but cuties. Your duties are measured by your privi- leges. I would remind you of the need of preparing to minister in holy things. A man who stands up to preach, must be duly furnished. You must keep your heart in the loving favor of God and your mind will be able to bring forth thiogs new and old wherewith to comfort the hearts of the people and to call sinners to repentance as well as to reclaim backslidegs, Close to Jesus ; close to study and your mind wiil be equal for its work. You are ordained not only a preacher of God but a pastor end these duties do not enterfere with each other. Do not forget that you must do both. Some say we have no talent, no adaption for pastoral work. Remember St. Paul said, ‘“‘Imade myselfa servant of all.” 4 had no natural talent for it,but 2 made my- self do it. You will love to see and teach lit- tle children. Yon will preach the Gospel in your faithful visits from house to house. This will encourage you. There you will find motives and preparations for your work, There you will find the results of your teaching. And 1 would also invite you to remember that you are not only a preacher and a pastor, but you have a widdle office between these two ; you are to be an evangelist, We have been talking about this to-day in our Conference. Yon must do evangelistic work. How blessed is that work! We are to oa!l the wanderer back to Obrist. And you will be called *u

of the people. pastors in dark and troublesome days. We are to sympathiza with them. Keep your hears tcuder and sympathetic and kind, so that you can enter into sympathy with the troubled. Then at the bedside, along with the physivian, you will be needed. You are not to injure the body but te comfort the soul. You are not to discourage an hurt the body but to pre- pare the soul to meet God. And now you are going amongst brethren. The brethren will love you, and you will find the people kind and sympathetic. They wish you well inthe name of the Lord. And they will hold up your hands in this blessed work. We have many consolations, many impres- sions of kindness, and we invite you to share these precious things with us. Beloved people—and through you I speak to the people of this Conference at large— you welcome our brother inte this work. 3e very considerate of the feelings of those who minister tq you in holy things, and as your sympathies go out, pray for them. We command you to be faithful in the work of our Master. How great are the responsibilities resting upon you! Will youhelp us more than ever? We thank God for the spirit of co-operation, But we look for it to be manifested more and more. We expect the future to surpass the past. Dear Brother, be liberal, be not a bigot. There are other Churches as well as our own, other people working for God as well as ours. Have charity te the Church of God. Have sympathy and love for all them that love the Lord Jeeus Christ. Be interested in the great International Christian efforts which are so hopeful a sign of our times, Before you lies the world. At the end you shall stand in your iot, May God help you that with a crown resplendent with many stars, amid the hailelujahs of the angels and welcome of those who have passed on befe'e you, you may receive

the ‘‘Well don ,” of the Master. Then you will not |...ve labored in vain, but, true

times of trouble and anxiety to the homes | People love to have their |
