MBTHODIST CONFERENCE. EDU¢ aviema L MEETING.
Tue annual meeting of the Educational Society was held on Tuesday evening, when the chair was occupied by Rev. H. Pickard, D.D. Most of the people being away from the town holiday meking, caused a small company to be present. Rev. W. Dobson, Secretary, read the report, which stated that this Conference had raised $561, being an increase of $46 for the year. :
Rev. S. Hart, ex-President, was the first speaker. He commenced by declaring his loyalty to this part ef our church work. it was unnecessary to state the history of our Educational Society. This great institution had net all the sympathy it should have. The religious education of the people of this Dominion rested largely with the churches. Dr. Holland has said that culture, to be safe and influential for good, must be bap- tized. The great and beneficial influence of the Victoria University in the Province of Ontario was referred to, as well as the in- fluence of Sackville. in the Maritime Pro- vinces. He thanked God for such a profes- soria! staff as they had at the latter place. He rejoiced to know that there was a deep. ening interest towards these institutions. The importance of this work was urged upon the people. Great evils threatened the world. He claimed that the pulpits should be filled with trained men.
Dr. Inch, President of Sackville College, said that it was universally admitted that the general diffusion of education was necessary. Different educational metheds were cnumerated. This Society claims that the responsibility of religiously educating the people rested upon the Church. The higher education is best conducted under the auspices of the Church. Sometimes, in the practical atfairs of life, the benefits of a college course are under-cstimated. He spoke of the relation of higher education to the political interests ef our nation. If the Oxfor] calendars for the last two hundred years are referred to, it will .be seen that the men who have steod highest there are the men whe have attained the best posi- tions in Church and State. The hopes of eur natien—religiously, socially, industri- ously-—centre round the higher education. He looked forward with hope. We are laboring in harmonious competition with similar institutions in other churches.
Rey. C. Stewart, D. D., Theological Professor, Sackville, spoke of the demands of the present age for an educated ministry. Our people are very much concerned about securing a thoroughly sanctified and edu- cated ministry.. A sanctified and edu-
cated ministry are not antagonistic. Christ chose humble men, but not ignorant men. The apostles them-
selves urge the necessity of a* trained ministry. The epistles of Timothy and of Titus are really text books for young evangelists. Who have been able to build up the church of Christ in times of persecution? They have all been trained men. We have just such men as Justin and Origin. The dark ayes are light with men, the names of which the church will not let die. God may often put his hand upon a man to preach who lacks the necessary training. He may not have a trained mind. Then it becomes the duty of the church to give him the opportunity of duly qualifying himself. In all other professions trained men are necessary ; why not in the highest of all professions—the ministry ?
All the speeches were excellent. Differ- ent ground was traversed by each. A col-
lection was taken up for the education society :
KhUSINESS OF THE CONFERENCE,
The following were reported as Probation- ers for the Ministry from the several dis- tricts :--F. Freeman, T. L. Williams, H. Penna, W. B. Thomas, S. C. Wells, and A, Kiagarty. Messrs. T. Stebbing, F. R: Rogers, and J, F. Estey were permitted to attend college. Messrs. D. D. Moore, A.B., (sen of F. W. Moore, of this city), J. W. Wadman, A. B., W. E. Johnston, A. B., A. D. McCully, A. @., and E. A. Bell were received as candidates for the ministry. Rev. John Lathern was reported as trans- ferred to the Nova Scotia Conference, and Rev. J. Read was reported as transferred te this Conference from the Conference of Nova Scotia. Rev. John Prince, after a faithful ministry of 33 years, asked leave to become a Supernumerary, which wasgranted, several of the Ministers at the same time bearing testimony to his devotion to the work and his general successein it.
Next came the question, ‘‘ Who have died during the year?” Only one had been removed by death— Rev. George M. } Barratt. Before reading a memorial of his life, Rev. H. Daniel—one of- the oldest members of the Conference—led in prayer. The notice of the deceased minister, which is to be inserted in the minutes, stated that he came te this country in 1838. He died at the aye of 67 years, having exercised his ministry for forty-three years. Dr. Pick- ard and Messrs. F. Smallwood and J. Hart bore testimony to the singleness of eye and the success with which he had exercised his office.
CONNEXIONAL FUNDS.
Most of these are below last year. For the Missienary Fund $5,727 had been raised, being a decrease of about $1,000. This was accounted for by the depression of business. Nearly half of the above amount was raised im the P. E. Island Dis- trict. $466 was reported fer the Contin- gent Fund, being a decrease of $50. For the Supernumery Fund $473 (without the ministers subscriptions) were This fund is about the same as last year. f For Educational purposes, $685 had been raised—a considerable advance on last year. Over $40,000 were reported for Cir- cuit Receipts, b2ing about the same as last
Reports from several Committees were received.
