The President shall take the chair precisely at the hour to which the Conference stood adjourned, and cause the same to be opened by the reading of the Scriptures, singing and prayer; and on the appearance of a quorum shall have the journals of the preceding session read and approved, and the business of the Conference shall proceed in the following order, namely (1.) Petitions, memorials and appeals, in calling for which the Annual Conferences shall be named in alphabetical order. (2.) The roll of Conferences shall be repeated for the presentation of resolutions and miscellaneous business. (3.) Reports, first of the Standing, and then of the Select Committees. Provided^ always, that each call severally shall have been completed before either preceding one shall be repeated. 3. The President shall decide all questions of order, subject to an appeal to the Conference ; but in case of such appeal the question shall be taken without debate. 4. He shall appoint all committees unless otherwise specially ordered by the Conference. 5. On assigning the floor to any member of the Conference, he shall distinctly announce the name of the member to whom it is assigned, and the Annual Conference he represents. 6. All resolutions introduced by any member shall be written and presented in duplicate by the mover, and all motions, if the President,

Secretary, or any two members request it. 7. When a motion is made and seconded, or a resolution introduced and seconded, or a report presented, and is read by the Secretary or stated by the President, it shall be deemed in possession of the Confer- ence; but any motion or resolution may be withdrawn by the mover, with the consent of the Conference, at any time before amendment or decision. 8. All motions to postpone or lay on the table shall be taken without debate. 9. No new motion or resolution shall be entertained until the one under consideration has been disposed of, which may be done by adoption or rejection, unless one of the following motions should intervene, which shall have precedence in the order in which they are placed, namely: ; ; ;

No member shall be interrupted when speaking, except by the President, to call him to order when he departs from the question, or uses personalities or disrespectful language ; but any member may call the attention of the President to the subject when he deems a speaker out of order, and any member may explain when he thinks himself misrepresented. 12. When a member desires to speak to a question of privilege, he shall briefly state the question ; but it shall not be in order for him to proceed until the President shall have decided it a privileged question. 13. No person shall speak more than twice on the same question, nor more than fifteen minutes at one time, without leave of the Conference; nor shall any person speak more than once until every member choosing to speak shall have spoken. Provided, however, that the mover of a resolution, or a committee making a report, shall in all cases be entitled to ten minutes to close the debate. 14.

OF THE ISHOPS

TO THE MEMBERS

OF THE NINETEENTH

Delegated General Conference

OF THE

METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHUM

Philadelphia: M. E. BOOK AND PUBLISHING HOUSE, 1018 Arch Street. 1884.

Address of the Bishops.

Dear Brethren : Grace, mercy and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. We greet you as brethren beloved, as the chosen representatives of the ministry and of the laity of the church, and as co-workers in the kingdom and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ. We meet under circumstances of peculiar interest. We have reached the hundredth year of our history as a distinct ecclesiastical organization, and we may well pause on the threshold of our second century to recall the character and deeds of the noble men who laid the foundations of the Methodist Episcopal Church. The history of the century, and especially of its earlier periods, clearly demonstrates that the work was of God and not of man, and we may well devoutly say, " Not unto us, O Lord, not unto us, but unto Thy name give glory." Yet our rejoicing is with trembling, because of our manifold delinquencies and of the vast responsibili- ties which are upon us. Special interest also attaches to the place in which we meet. It was in this city that the fathers of precious memory, Boardman and Pilmoor, Asbury and Rankin first preached the Gospel on American soil. Here, also, thirty years earlier the matchless eloquence of

Whitfield shook the city, as it did the whole Atlantic coast, with

its bold and masterly address. Here still stands St. George's Church,

where the early Conferences of 1773, 1774 and 1775 were held ; the only church edifice remaining in the United States which was occupied for religious services by the Methodists before the Eevolutionary War. Thus the memories of a hundred years throng around us and summon us to like strenuous and noble action. When the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized in Baltimore, in 1784, with the exception of Coke and Asbury, Whatcoat and Vasey, there was not a minister present who had been ten years in the itin- erant work, and out of 60 or 70 the great majority had not been more than three years thus employed. Not one of the young men had enjoyed the advantages of a collegiate education. They were unmar- the ried men, who gave their whole time and their whole strength to the work of preaching the gospel. Having few books save the Bible, Hymn Book and the Methodist Discipline, they swept to and fro churches throughout the new nation until under their ministry strong :

were everywhere gathered. While we listen to the voices of the fathers and receive their solemn charge, what message shall we send forward to our successors who shall celebrate the second Centennial ? At the first Conference, held 111 years ago, in this city, only 6 preachers received appointments, and of these every man of age and standing returned to England within the next 5 years, except Francis Asbury, who may well be styled the apostle and father of American

Methodism ; and yet God carried forward his work by raising up from year to year young men under whose labors the borders of the Church were constantly extended. We have builded on foundations they laid; we have reared institutions which their faith and sacrifices made possible. Our schools of every grade, our large and commodi- ous churches, and our various benevolent institutions are the rich fruit of seed they sowed. But with all these helps, which they never had, may we not pertinently and profitably ask ourselves whether, man for man, we are accomplishing for the cause of Christ as much as those early heroes did. Think of the oppositions they encountered the hardships they endured, the labor they performed, and the results which followed ; and surely we may gather from this study, instruction, rebuke and inspiration. The causes of their success were three First. The tireless zeal and holy living of the early Methodists. The ministers had no worldly motives to move them to action. They had few comforts, few friends and scant support. They heard a divine call and obeyed. There was little to influence a membership to join them, except the conviction that thus they could lead holier and happier lives. They lived in conscious fellowship with Christ, and in zealous labors to win others to him. Second. The doctrines proclaimed by the earlier ministers were chiefly the fundamental doctrines of the Gospel ; the fall and ruin of man ; his need of a Saviour ; the atonement of Christ ; the forgive-

; all ness of sins the witness of the Spirit ; perfect love, and the bless- ings of a free and full, a present and eternal salvation. Third. The third source of power in early Methodism was the itinerancy of its ministers. They waited not for congregations to invite them, but they went forth and preached everywhere, gathering congregations in dwelling houses, in cabins, in shops, in barns, in fields, and " in forests ; and thus the word of the Lord mightily grew and prevail- ed." May we not ask ourselves whether as ministers and as members

of the Church we have the same zeal and earnestness ; whether the fundamental doctrines of the Gospel are so constantly the theme of our preaching ; and whether we are maintaining our itinerancy in its original power ? While we rejoice in the circumstances under which we assemble, a shadow falls upon us. We are called to mourn the loss of brethren beloved, recently associated with us in council. Since our last Gen- eral Conference, three of our colleagues in the Episcopacy have been called to their reward. In a little more than a year after his election, Erastus 0. Haven, who had entered on his episcopal work with energy and success, died in Sa- lem, Oregon, after a brief illness, August 2, 1881, when on his way to meet the Columbia River Conference. He was a devout Christian, a ripe scholar, a successful educator, a graceful writer and an eloquent preacher. On July 13, 1882, our Senior Bishop, Levi Scott, full of years and rich in faith and love, fell asleep in Jesus. At the last General Con- ference the state of his health required his retirement from active duties. His feebleness steadily increased, but his immediate decease was not anticipated by his friends until a few moments before his departure. He died in the eightieth year of his age, in the place where he was born. Such had been his purity of life and carefulness of conduct, that he had not an enemy on earth. On the 17th of May, 1883 Jesse T. Peck died at his home in Syra- cuse, N. Y. After his election in 1872 he was abundant in labors, until in 1881 his health began to fail. He passed away in glorious hope. He was a man of great simplicity of character, alertness and strength of mind, and of rare consecration to God and to the work of the Church. Of the editors elected by the last General Conference one has been called away. Erasmus Q. Fuller, editor of the Methodist Advocate t died in Atlanta, Georgia, October 16th, 1883. He was a courageous man, an able and faithful minister, and in the face of great difficul- ties he rendered important service to the Church. We also make special mention of the death of George W Woodruff, the Secretary of the last General Conference. He was a competent officer, and an earnest, laborious and devoted minister of the Lord Jesus Christ. Although our numbers have been depleted, we gratefully regard the fact that the Bishops have been able to preside at the sessions of all the Annual Conferences in the United States, with the exception of the Columbia River Conference, which met immediately after the death of Bishop Haven. We have also visited regularly the Missions in the United States and Territories, and have presided in their annual meetings. Our foreign missions have also received due atten- Ger- tion. In 1880 Bishop Merrill presided over the sessions of the many and Switzerland, the Sweden and the Norway Conferences, and the annual meetings of the missions in Denmark and Bulgaria. Going eastward he held the India and South India Conferences, and, 6 returning early in 1881, he organized, under the authority of the last General Conference, the Mission in Italy into an annual Conference. In 1882 and 1883 Bishop Foster visited the same fields and held the Conferences and the annual meetings. In 1881 the Conferences in Central and Northwestern Europe and the mission in Denmark were attended by Bishop Peck. In the autumn of 1881 Bishop Harris visited our brethren laboring at different points on the Western Coast of South America, most of whom, though they had been received on trial in the Conferences at home, and had been elected to orders under the missionary rule, had not been ordained, and during his visit he ordained such preachers in Caldera, Coquimbo, Valparaiso, San- tiago and Concepcion, nine in all. Having completed the purposes of his visit along the Western Coast of South America, he proceeded through the Straits of Magellan to Monte Video, Buenos Ayres and Eosario, holding the annual meeting of the South American Mission in Montevideo in February, 1882. He had been appointed to hold the Libe- ria Conference, but an accident to a steamer of a monthly line made it impossible for him to do sc. In the latter part of February he sailed for Europe and held the Conferences in that country, and also the annual meeting of the Denmark Mission. BiBhop Simpson, who had been appointed to visit, in 1880, the missions in Japan and China, was prevented by the illness of himself and family from sailing from San Francisco, which city he had reached on his way. In 1881 Bishop Bowman visited and presided in the annual meetings of the Japan, North China, and Central China Missions and in the Foochow Confer- ence. ' In 1883 Bishop Merrill visited the same fields. Bishop Andrews, early iu 1882, and Bishop Warren, early in the present year, visited the Mexico Mission. We are glad to be able to report that, as a whole, our work in these fields is prosperous and full of promise. God has put honor on the missionary zeal of the Church. The Bishops are ready to give to the Committee on Missions or to the General Conference any further information that may be desired. Under the enabling acts of the last General Conference the North Nebraska, Southwest Kansas, Northwest Kansas, and East Tennessee Conferences have been formed and organized, and the name of the Providence Conference has been changed to that of the New Eng- land Southern. The number of the Annual Conferences has thus become 99, and the number of the missions is 14. We are pleased to be able to report that during the past quadrennium the Church has had great peace and quietness and a fair measure of prosperity. The addition to the number of members reported has not been as large as in some preceding periods, but we think that this is due in part to the fact that in pursuance of the action of the last General Conference greater care has been taken than ever before to prune and correct the Church registers, and to make more accurate re- turns. The statistics of 1883 show 11,349 traveling preachers, 12,026 local preachers, and 1,769,534 members and probationers, being an increase in four years of 69,232 members. While this increase in numbers is not equal to that of the preceding quadrennium, it is, under the circumstances, encouraging. The minutes also show that during the same period there have died 654 traveling preachers, and 88,891 members. These added to the reported gain show that the accessions to the Church during the quadrennium have been 158,787- The material interests of the Church have been greatly prospered. New church edifices have been erected in all parts of the country, and many existing properties have been greatly improved. In 1879 there were 16,955 churches and 5,689 parsonages, valued together at $70,955,509. In 1883 the minutes report 18,741 churches and 9,815 parsonages, valued together at $79,238,085. We are gratified to be able to say that throughout our borders great success has attended the efforts of ministers and members to liquidate church debts. Es- pecially has this been the case in our larger cities, in some of which, by united effort, the entire debt has been removed from every church, and the connectional spirit largely augmented—examples worthy of all commendation. The removal of these debts has manifestly pro- moted the life and activity of the Church, and we believe that our work has made unusual progress in nearly all our cities during the last four years. These results have been signally manifest in the City of New York, flowing largely from the generous action of its City Church Extension and Missionary Society, under the Presidency of John B. Cornell. We have cause for gratitude to the great Head of the Church for the revival spirit which has been abroad in many parts of the work. Some revivals have been of very marked character, evincing the presence and power of the Holy Spirit in these human instrumentali- ties for the salvation of men. The Church has need to constantly " do remember the words of its divine Founder, without me ye can nothing," and likewise to have the implicit faith of the chiefest of things the apostles as expressed in the exultant words, " I can do all through Christ which strengtheneth me." unite The last General Conference recommended that our Church parts of the with other branches of the Methodist family in different of London, world, in holding an Ecumenical Conference in the City 8 and the Bishops were directed to appoint delegates, according to the plan authorized, selecting at least three of their own number. In ac- cordance with this direction the Bishops appointed Bishops Simpson Peck and Warren, and selected from various parts of the Church the number of delegates, both ministers and laymen, to which our Church was entitled. These delegates met in City Eoad Chapel, London, in September, 1881, and a very pleasant session of two weeks was held, in union, with other branches of Methodism. Though the Confer- ence had neither legislative nor executive powers, and was not authorized to give any formal expression on matters of doctrine or discipline, it nevertheless considered the general interests of the Church as they stand related to the great moral questions of the day, and the sessions were exceedingly harmonious. As the result, we believe a better spirit of fraternity now prevails among the different branches of Methodism, and very possibly the organic union of the various branches of Canadian Methodism is its first ripened fruit. The Con- ference held in London recommended that another Ecumenical Con- ference be held in the United States in 1887. Should this General Conference approve of such recommendation, it may be well to take such preliminary action as shall be judged necessary for its accom- plishment. A considerable portion of the American delegates recommended that the various branches of American Methodism unite in holding, near the close of 1884, services commemorative of the organization of the Methodist Episcopal Church. A large number of ministers and laymen, and several Annual Conferences, requested the Bishops to appoint an Executive Committee to make the necessary preliminary arrangements before the meeting of this General Conference. The committee was accordingly appointed, and preliminary measures have been taken for a commemorative service to be held in Baltimore in December, 1884, in which all the Methodist Episcopal bodies in the United States have expressed a willingness to unite. The Bishops simply report their action in this matter, express- ing their full approval of the movement, and asking for it the consideration of the General Conference. They also submit herewith the report of the Executive Committee with its preliminary plans. It will also be remembered that the last General Conference directed the Bishops to devise a plan for the Centennial Year, reporting to the Church as early as convenient. Under this action they prepared a circular, which was sent to the different Annual Conferences, and also published in the several Church papers. They did not consider themselves authorized to complete the arrangements for the centennial services, but to take only such action as was necessary before the meeting of this General Conference. They submit the whole 9 matter to the wisdom and decision of your body, and they trust that your action will lead the Church to a more thorough consecration to the cause of Christ, and to such thank-offerings as shall be worthily commemorative of our Centennial Year. The Bishops were requested to make an early appeal to the Churches in behalf of the debt on the Metropolitan Church in Washington City. An appeal was accordingly issued, but as only a small amount was realized in collections they committed the matter as a special interest to C. C. McCabe, the Assistant Secretary of the Church Exten- sion Board. They have now the great satisfaction of reporting to this Conference that through his indefatigable labors, which merit the thanks of the Bishops and of the General Conference, the debt upon this Church, of over $50,000, has, at length, been entirely removed. According to the direction of the General Conference, the formal decisions of law rendered by us during the last four years are herewith submitted. It has been necessary to convene a considerable number of Judicial .Conferences during the quadrennium. Oar observation leads us to commend to your consideration the question whether these Confer- ences ought to be longer permitted to reverse the findings of the

' Select Number," or of an Annual Conference, or to remand a case for a new trial on merely technical grounds, or, because of errors in the proceedings of the court below, which errors do not materially affect the question of the guilt or innocence of the appellant. The publishing interests of the Church continue to prosper and enlarge. The reports of the Book Committee and of the Agents will show, in detail, what has been accomplished. Notwithstanding the activity of our publishing interests thus set forth, we cannot conceal from ourselves the fact that but little Church literature is read by very many of our members, and that in conse- quence great numbers of ouryouth are without the proper knowledge of the history, doctrine, usages, and movements of the Church. We note, however, with high satisfaction the energy displayed in the man- agement of the Sunday-school Union and of the Tract Society, and the number and value of the publications issued from these departments. The circulation of our Sunday-school papers has remarkably increased; Sunday-school requisites of the first order have been greatly multiplied. Sunday-school institutes have raised the standard of Sun- children and teachers in day-school instruction ; and the number of our Schools has increased during the last four years to 1,932,926. We more note also with great pleasure that during the last quadrennium trust that attention has been given to Bible classes for adults, and we 10 this Conference "will recommend that more attention be given by the pastors and Sunday-school Superintendents to this department of the work. The cause of education has also been greatly advanced during the last four years. In several infetaiaces embarrassing debts have been removed from our institutions of learning, and they are advancing with bright prospects for the future. It also gives us great pleasure to say that a large increase has been made in several instances in the endowment of our literary institutions, among which are worthy of special notice the contribution by George I. Seney, of New York, of $600,000 to the Wesleyan University, and of W C. DePauw, of New Albany, Indiana, of several hundred thousand dollars to the Indiana Asbury University, already paid, with a prospective arrangement by this liberal donor for a much larger sum. A debt of $200,000, which had been pressing upon the North-Western University, has been removed through the generous liberality of its friends. The Boston University has come into full possession of the large legacy left by the lamented Isaac Rich, and has been enabled to enlarge its systematic work. The Wesleyan College, in Cincinnati, has been relieved from the em- barrassment which had almost destroyed it, and it is now in a health- ful and active condition. The chief contribution for educational work during the quadrennium has been in the removing of debts and in strengthening the institutions already established. A new institu- tion, however, has been established in Denver, Colorado, and is in successful operation, with good prospects for the future. Hamline University, in Minnesota, after years of suspended animation, has begun a new career of enlarged usefulness, with buildings costing about $100,000, which sum u fully provided for, and a large increase of its endowment. There has been a general increase in the number of students in attendance, especially in the seminaries, where we believe excellent work is being accomplished for the Church, in the education of large numbers of young men and women. In the theological departments there has also been marked enlargement. The Garrett Biblical Institute in Evanston has been relieved from a serious debt, which was one of the results of the large fire in Chicago some years ago. The Drew Seminary has realized a large portion of the amount which had been subscribed towards its endowment. A theological chair has been established and endowed in the Asbury University, with generous promise of future enlargement in this department. The statistics of our educational work show in the entire Church 10 theological institutions, 45 colleges and universities, 60 classical seminaries, 8 female colleges and seminaries, and 19 schools of high grade connected with Foreign Missions. In these institutions the value of the buildings and grounds is estimated 11

at $7,504,640 ; the amount of endowments is $7,031,176 ; the number of teachers 1,409; students for the last year, 28,621, with an estimate of students since their beginning of 414,518. Upon these grounds and buildings an estimated debt remains of $592,476, the chief part of which rests upon a few colleges and seminaries. That this debt may be wholly removed during this centennial year is devoutly to be wished.

The Board of Education has increased its efforts, and is meeting with no small encouragement. In 1882 it appointed Daniel P. Kid- < der Corresponding Secretary. He has devoted his attention to all the interests of the Board, and especially to the interests of " Chil- dren's Day." Through his efficiency the collections have been greatly increased, and we believe the celebration of " Children's Day" will have a large influence over the minds of the youth in directing them to the subject of higher education. The proceeds of the " Capital Fund," together with part of the collections, have been devoted chiefly to the education of young men for the ministry ; those having a foreign field in view have been specially cared for. A number of promising young men and women who are contemplating church work as teachers have also been aided. Were the funds of the Board to be enlarged a great good would result to the Church. Under the vigorous administration of the Freedmen's Aid Society help has been extended to a large number of institutions in the Southern States, chiefly for the education of colored young men and women. The progress of the work of the Society during the quadrennium has been very remarkable. Several new and valuable buildings have been erected. A substantial new edifice has been construct- ed for the Biblical Institute in Baltimore, and a Theological School has been established and partly endowed in Clark University, in Atlanta. The Meharry Medical School, fully established during the quadrennium at Nashville, Tennesse, is doing excellent work. In pursuance of the directions of the last General Conference, aid has also been given to some institutions in the South, designed more especially for white students. Schools of considerable magnitude have been commenced at Little Bock, Arkansas, and at Chattanooga, Tennessee; the planting of such institutions indicates the settled policy of the Church to be national and not sectional. Especial relief has been extended to the institutions at Athens, Tennessee, and Ellijay, Georgia. The report of the Society will show the magnitude of the work which has been performed, and the prosperity which has attended its labors. While the Church has been strengthening its literary institutions duty of parti- and educating its youth, it has not forgotten its great Society, cipating in the evangelization of the world. The Missionary 12 one of its grandest and most efficient agencies, not only retains but has greatly strengthened its hold upon the affections of the Church. All our missions have been maintained in working order, and some of them have been exceedingly prosperous. Oar work in China com- prises one Annual Conference in South Eastern China, and three distinct missions located respectively in North, Central and West China ; that of West China having been established since the last General Conference. By means of munificent special contributions the educational work in Japan has been greatly enlarged. In India and South India there has been a steady increase of members. The work in Europe, especially in Germany and Switzerland, and in Sweden and Norway, has developed into efficient and energetic Annual Conferences, and the Conference of Italy is also promising, though yet comparatively young and small. The Mission in Denmark has maintained its position with encouraging enlargement, while the Missions in Mexico and South America give signs of great promise for the future. The organization of our work in Europe remains the same as it was in 1880, except that the " Italy Mission" has become the Italy Confer- ence. In most of the fields occupied there has been a satisfactory growth in all the elements of Church life. This is also true of the Missions in South America and Mexico. The Woman s Foreign Missionary Society has been a faithful and successful co-worker in the foreign field. Its income has steadily and largely increased from year to year. It has efficient workers in

nearly all the foreign missions ; has sent capable medical mission- aries to India, to China and to Japan, and is about establishing a paper designed more especially for the women of India. The Execu- tive Committee has shown marked devotion and energy in its work- While the contributions to this Society may have curtailed to some ex- tent the receipts of the General Missionary Treasury, its work has largely augmented the missionary spirit of the Church, and we doubt not will lead to increased contributions in the future. Within the last four years a " Woman's Home Missionary" Society has been organized, having its centre in Cincinnati. Its object is to furnish teachers and found industrial schools for the women of the

Southern States, Utah and elsewhere. If. proposes to accomplish in our own country what the " Woman's Foreign Missionary Society" is doing for the lands abroad, and to work in harmony with the Mis- sionary authorities of our Church. This Society though young has already accomplished a good work, has established a few model homes, and promises to be a potent agency for good among the women of this land. Its officers will make application to your body to be incorpo- 13 rated into the general system of benevolense established by the Gen- eral Conference. The working of these societies has also rapidly developed a power hitherto largely latent in the Church, and the benefit activity resulting from the increased of so many Christian womea is scarcely to be estimated. In view of the constantly increasing magnitude and the variety of administration in the missionary work of the Church, we desire to suggest to you the importance of considering whether something should not be done to bring our whole missionary work into greater simplicity, harmony and unity of administration.

The Board of Church Extension has greatly enlarged its work in the last four years, affording help to many churches throughout the land, and especially in the South and West. We are pleased likewise to recognize the excellent work the Society has done in improv. ing our church architecture, and in enlarging the Loan Fund through which much valuable property has been saved. An increasing spirit of liberality has also shown itself in the establishment of charitable institutions. Homes for the aged have been established in New York, Philadelphia and Baltimore, chiefly through the untiring labor of the active women of the Church, and the collections made by them in comparative small amounts. We mention, with profound satisfaction, the gift of George I. Seney, of New York, for the establishment of a hospital in Brooklyn, to be known as the " Methodist Episcopal Hospital." He has already erected commo- dious and ample buildings on a most eligible site, at a cost exceeding $600,000. On the great moral questions of the day the tone of our periodicals has been earnest and uniform. Especially have we been gratified with the fact that in all parts of the Church our ministry and membership, with scarcely an exception, have been firm and aggressive in their devotion to the cause of Temperance. In the great struggle for prohibition which has occurred in some of the Western States, the position of our people has been one of unyielding devotion to the principles of constitutional prohibition. While we may have lost a few members by the firm attitude of the Church, we have no doubt that our high position will be maintained in the future, and that the Church will continue to oppose all forms of intemperance, until legal sanction of the evil shall be removed from the statute-books of all our States. We view with alarm the laxity of the laws in many of the States on the subject of divorce, and fear that the sentiment of the Christian the people of the country is not up to the standard demanded by Gen- Holy Scriptures on this subject. We ask the attention of the ;

«ral Conference to the expediency of more stringent regulations in regard to the solemnization of the marriage of divorced persons and also to the importance of making some distinct utterance on the prevalence of the terrible crime of polygamy in our Territories.

The success of the Church must ever depend : 1st. Upon an earnest indefatigable and consecrated ministry; 2d. Upon a devoted and ac- tively co-operating membership ; 3d. Upon the rich baptism of the Holy Spirit which God has promised to his true servants. We have reason to thank God for the efficient ministers whom he has raised up and given to His Church—men consecrated to His service ; and we believe that no class of men in the world has given clearer proof of devotion to the cause of Christ than the great body of our itiner- ant ministers. We cannot, however, ignore the fact that in almost every Annual Conference there are men who have been admitted on insufficient evidence of fitness for the ministry, and who have not proved of real service to the Church. We most earnestly commend to the Church a more thorough examination and trial of candidates for the ministry. The few who fail affect the reputation and standing of the whole body. While not sought for by the people, they often claim, because of their years in the ministry, a right to the more prominent appointments, and failing to secure them, complain of the Church and of its authorities, and spread a spirit of disaffection throughout the Church. Our observation is that where the ministry is holy and aggressive the Churches prosper, whether in our rural districts or in our cities, but when men remain in the ministry simply to retain positions and to receive support and mechanically perform the duties of their office, our Churches fail. Not only is care needed in admissions to the Conferences, but there should be some way in which inefficient ministers might be more easily retired that the Conferences might be able to receive active and promising men who are offering themselves for the work. In exercising the power committed to us of transferring ministers from one Conference to another we have endeavored to serve the Church rather than individual interests. Yet we have found an embarrasment not only in relation to this matter, but in making the more important appointments where no transfer is contemplated, by reason of the negotiations which have been made between preachers and people without consultation with those on whom the responsibility rests. In this growing habit of unofficial negotiations we see the shadows of danger to the essential economy of the Church. There has been some discussion, and some Annual Conferences have taken action in regard to the removal of the time limit from the 15 itinerancy. In every instance where this matter has been brought to the attention of Conferences, the majority—generally a very large majority—has protested against the removal of the limit. In a few instances, however, Conferences have desired some flexibility to meet very exceptional cases of great emergency, and some of the Confer- ences have asked the attention of the General Conference to the question whether without endangering the itinerancy there might not be some provision made by which, in such cases, the ministerial term could be extended for four or five years, under suitable safe- guards. Whether these exceptions could be made without endangering the general system we commend to your careful consideration. We have also observed in some of the Annual Conferences a ten- dency to look more leniently on refusals to go to assigned appointments when they chance to be among the less prominent. It is a striking fact, however, that out of the more than ten thousand appointments made every year, there are so few cases in which either ministers refuse to accept their appointments, or the Churches de- cline to receive the ministers assigned them. The attachment to Church order in this respect is at once yery remarkable and abso- lutely essential. We beg leave to say that the depletion of our numbers and the increasing magnitude of the work of the Church will suggest to you the necessity of adding to the number of Bishops. How many shall be added we leave to your own wise and thoughtful consideration. May we also add the suggestion that the business of the Conference should proceed in its earliest hours with as much expedition as possible, so that no more time shall be spent; than the necessities of the work shall require. May we also affectionately ask that every brother who has come as a delegate to the General Conference shall resolve to remain until his duties have been faithfully discharged, and the final adjournment reaphed. Brethren, we cannot close this brief review without anew magni- fying the grace of God which has been so marvelously manifested toward our beloved Church in the past hundred years. When we re- vert, as we do this day, to our small and unpromising beginnings, and remember how God has been with our fathers and with us even to this day, for three generations, opening up the way before us, honor- ing us as He has honored none of our contemporaries, building us stately and strong over all the land and to the very ends of the world; making us to be among the great powers of the earth—we are con- strained at the same time to humble ourselves and, acknowledging that the power has all been of God, to ask that we now devote ourselves more completely than ever to the service of His cause and the build- :

16 ing up of His kingdom in the earth. The retrospect of the old and the dawn of the new century find us with high hopes and courage. As the guardians of the precious heritage which has descended to us from the fathers, you will, we doubt not, use becoming diligence to hand it along undiminished and untarnished to the generations following. The interests which come before you will receive that godly attention which their importance demands. You will, we are sure, discountenance all ends and measures unworthy of the sacred character you bear, at whatever cost of vigilance and courage. You will not lose sight of the one thing for which as a church we exist: namely, to spread scriptural holiness over the earth. The rules and regulations you shall make and all other official acts you shall perform while here will be with a single eye. You have come to a time when great carefulnesss and great wisdom are demanded. We are sure that you will diligently apply yourselves to prayers for the light and help which comes alone from God, and without which there can be nothing wise or strong or good. The eyes not simply of the assembled or passing crowd of the city in which you meet are upon you, but the eyes of our entire Church throughout the world, and of our sister churches and of the nation and nations a3 wel>. In reminding you of these things we do not pre- sume to admonish or even exhort you, but simply to arrest your thought. You are human, and it is inevitable that much that is human will cling to your best endeavors, but we are sure that God's spirit is in you and that you will wait listening to His voice. In so doing you will not fail to meet worthily the obligations under which you act, and properly to take care of the interests committed to you; and when in a few days you return to your homes and customary vocations, it will be, we trust, with th© consciousness of having performed your work with the purest and noblest fidelity to God and His Church. Your decisions and acts will be felt around the globe, in the remotest East, in the most distant West, not for to-day only, but for all time, weakening or strengthening the hopes of humanity. Not only the present, and especially the future of your own Church will be affected, but the entire brotherhood of Christendom will be hurt or helped by your proceedings. God has placed you in the van in the crisis hours of the world's great struggle. The Master Himself watches from the throne. Let there be no disappointment in the results. Finally, dearly beloved brethren, we desire now again to commend you to God and the word of His grace, praying that the Holy Spirit may be present and helpful in all your deliberations and conclusions, to the end that His name may be glorified and His kingdom enlarged and established in the earth. We are, dear brethren, most sincerely and affectionately, your brothers and fellow-laborers in the Gospel of Christ Matthew Simpson, Stephen M. Merrill, Thomas Bowman, Edward G. Andrews, William L. Harris, Henry W. Warren, Randolph S. Foster, Cyrus D. Foss, Isaac W Wiley, John F. Hurst. Philadelphia, May 5, 1884.
