Ireland— Francis Stephens, William Cornwall. Q. 4. What Preachers have died during the past year? A. 1. William Stevens, a man of unaffected piety, upright conduct, and Christian plainness. He was a native of Plymouth Dock. In early life he was brought to the knowledge of the truth, and the enj vyment of the Divine favour, through the mi- nistry of the Methodist preachers. He united himself with that people in Christian fellowship, and enjoyed all the privileges of their society. Convinced that it was his duty to do something for the good of his fellow-creatures and the glory of God, he began by visiting the sick, reproving the wicked, and circulating pamphlets, on various religious subjects for the instruction of the ignorant. He also attended public meetings for prayer, and in them took a leading part. Appointed by the Superintendant he filled the office of a Class- Leader with great success. In 1784, he had such a view of the lost state of man, accompanied with a conviction in his own mind that God had called him to preach the Gospel, as caused him, though with much fear, to enter upon the important work. In 1786, he was recommended to Mr. Wesley as a proper person to be wholly given up to the ministr}-, and received his first appointment to the Gloucester Circuit. As a Travelling Preacher he laboured in the Connexion sixteen years, with an unblemished character and great usefulness. In 1802, owing to a confirmed asthma, he was obliged to desist travelling, and the Conference appointed him English Master at

Kingswood School, which place he filled for four years ; after which he kept, on Kingswood Hill, a Classical and Commercial Academy to the day of his death. He was a man of great humility, self-denial, and devotedness to God. After many years of great affliction, ho terminated his mortal existence, in the full triumph of faith, on Wednesday. Nov. 22, 1S13, in the 51st year of his age, when his happy spirit went home to God. 2. Wiiliam Mahy, a native of Guernsey, was awakened out of the sleep of sin, under the ministry of Mr. John de Quetville. A few weeks afterwards, he found peace with God through our

Lord Jesus Christ. In 1 790, he was employed for two or three

months as an Itinerant Preacher in Jersey and in Alderney ; in which last place he was in danger of losing his life by his faithful- ness. Soon after this he was sent to France, and for eighteen AS 181 *' ( 6 ) L years and a half endured a great many trials and afflictions there. He preached in many places, and was the instrument of forming several small societies; but on account of the prejudices of the people, the wickedness of the priests, the circumstances of the times, and his own personal affliction, he had not all the success he desired. Some time after it had pleased the Almighty (whose ways are past finding out) to deprive him of his reason, he was

brought back to Guernsey ; and when he had been there a while, it was judged necessary to send him to England, that he might have all that medical assistance and suitable management could contribute towards his recovery. He finished his course of suf- fering, with a hope full of immortality, on Dec. 1, 1813, in the 50th year of his age. Nearly his last words were, " My de- pendance is on the merits of my Saviour, and the mercy of a good God does not forsake me." 3. John Martin, a man of piety and zeal. He travelled fourteen years with general acceptance, was made useful in the vineyard of Christ, and died well. 4. Thomas Massf.y, a young man of unblemished morals, and undoubted piety- Although he possessed but very slender minis- terial abilities, we have reason to believe that he would have la- boured with more general acceptance in the churches, had he not been called too early into the itinerancy. He died in peace, after a short illness. 5. John Pritchard, aged 71, a native of the county of Meatli, in Ireland. Early in life he united himself with the Methodists, and became experimentally acquainted with the truth as it is in Jesus. His conversion was sound. His knowledge of the par- doning love of God was clear and distinct. Soon after he began his Christian course, the Spirit itself bore witness with his spirit

that he was a child of God ; and he earnestly panted after a full conformity to the Divine image. In the year 1771, he began to

preach ; and in the same year Mr. Wesley sent him into the Wiltshire Circuit. He continued to travel till the Conference in 1802; when, at the request of his brethren, he became Governor of Kingswood School. In that situation he remained till the

year 1S07, when, under growing infirmities, he retired from it, and lived in Bristol until he was called to his eternal rest. Mr. Pritchard was a warm advocate for the doctrines of the Gospel, as held by the Methodists. He preached with zeal and energy, a free, full, and present salvation, to be obtained by faith in Christ; and, towards the close of his life, often expressed to his intimate friends a concern for the perpetuation of sound doctrine, genuine Christian experience, holy Jiving, and godly discipline, among the Methodists. 6. William Peacock, a young man of solid piety. He la- 1814/1 ( 7 ) boured nine years in our connexion, with great zeal, faithfulness, and usefulness. He had a sound mind, inured to reading and close study, which appeared in his public ministry. For some years he laboured as an Irish Missionary, when, in th&jfields, the fairs, and markets, he proclaimed the everlasting gospel. He was blessed with a strong constitution, which he resolved to devote to the glory of God ; but in one hour his strength was brought down by a stroke, the effects of which no medical as- sistance could remove. When on the Miltown Circuit, a mob, in the night, surrounded the house in which he lodged, outra- geously calling for the preacher ; and while they were breaking in at the front of the house, he escaped out by the back door, almost naked. The fear of being murdered, added to his lying on the wet grass for several hours, brought on spasms, by which he was occasionally afflicted until he died. He, however, as op- portunity offered, rejoiced to publish the loving kindness of the Lord. The evening before he died he preached with uncommon energy, after which he walked with a religious friend, talking of the things of God ; and upon his return to his own house, his spasms returned with extreme violence, and continued until the next morning, when his spirit returned to God, Aug. 9, 1813. 7. Matthias Joyce, a brother whose memory is precious to all who knew him. He was early in life converted from the errors of Popery. A full and pleasing account is given in the Methodist Magazine of 1786, of the progress of the work of grace in his soul till his call to the ministry, and of his travels and labours in various parts of Ireland. He was a man of a re- markably loving and peaceable disposition, a wise, acceptable, and successful preacher, much tried in his family by various afflictions, which no doubt preyed on his spirits, and helped to bring on that debility both of body and mind, which disqualified him from preaching during the last three years of his life. He was engaged in the ministry thirty years, and died as he had lived, an Israelite indeed, in whom was no guile. Q, 5. Are there any objections to any of our Preachers ? A. They were examined one by one." Q. 6. Who have desisted from travelling ? A. 1. John Williams, 2d, and William Blanshard. 2. John Foster, who, having improperly " entangled himself with the affairs of tlii> life," has left the work. 3, Henry Crawshaw, George Cotton, David Clarke, Richard Moxon, Joseph Smith, and (in Ireland) Alexander Stewart, retire for want of health. 1 :

On account of the very peculiar and distressing circum- stances of the chapels in Cheltenham, Chester, Glasgow, Paisley, Ayr, Perth, Greenock, Elgin, and Montrose, the Conference is under the necessity of consenting that extraordinary applications may be made for their relief, according to the following plan : viz. For Cheltenham, in the London, Kent, Norwich, Oxford, Portsmouth, Guernsey, Plymouth, Cornwall, Exeter, Bristol, and South Wales Districts. For Chester, in the Birmingham, Shrewsbury, Macclesfield, Liverpool, and Manchester Districts.

For the chapels in Scotland : in the Halifax, Leeds, Sheffield, Nottingham, Lincolnshire, York, Whitby, Newcastle, Carlisle, Edinburgh, and Aberdeen Districts. N. B. These extraordinary applications are to be made only in private, unless the Superintendants of the circuits consent that they shall be made in the public congregations. And the Preachers who may visit the several circuits on this business, shall do it at such times as may be deemed most expedient by the Preachers of those Circuits respectively. Q. 15. What method shall be adopted, in order to raise the necessary pecuniary supplies, for the support of our Missions ? A. We strongly recommend the immediate establishment of a Methodist Missionary Society in every District in the kingdom, (in which it has not been already accomplished,) on the general Plan of those Societies which have been formed in Yorkshire and elsewhere during the past year. N. B. 1. The Thanks of the Conference are given to those of C 3 ( 38 ) [18U.

our Preachers in the Leeds, Halifax, York, Sheffield, Cornwall, and Newcastle Districts, who have been concerned in the forma- tion of Methodist Missionary Societies; and to all the Members and Friends of the said Societies, lor the very liberal and zealous support which they have afforded to us, in this important depart ment of the work of God. 2. Mr. James Wood is appointed the General Treasurer for all our Missions, during the ensuing year: and all remittances whatsoever, on account of our Missionary Fund, are to be sent to him, at the Chapel-House, City- Road, London. 3. Mr. Ebmondson and Mr. Buckley are appointed to act as Joint-Secretaries to our General Missionary Committee in London, for the ensuing year. Q. 16. What further directions shall be given respecting our Missionary affairs? A. 1. Our Missionaries in Newfoundland shall be instructed to pay particular attention to St. John's. 2. Three Missionaries, in addition to the two already there, shall be sent to Newfoundland, two to Demerara, one to Montreal, and two to New South Wales. Q. 17. What Regulations are necessary, respecting our Schools at Kingswood and Woodhouse-Grove ? A. 1. The Plan of Classical Education, originally drawn up by Mr. Wesley, for the use of Kingswood School, shall be forth- with revived and adopted in that School. 2. There shall be a General Vacation, at both the Schools, for

one month in every year ; and this Vacation shall take place in the last week in April, and the three first weeks in May. 3. The Annual Public Collection for the Schools, and for the Education of the Preachers' Children, generally, shall be made, as usual, in the month of October. But previously to the Public Collection, the Preachers shall apply, in private, to those of our Members, Hearers, and Friends, who have already given in their names as Annual Subscribers, or who are likely to become

such. The names of the Subscribers are to be published : and the Conference requires, that all proper endeavours shall be used by the Preachers, in every Circuit, without exception, to procure

Private Subscriptions ,- without which the Public Collections will be very insufficient, in the present extended state of our Connexion. 4. The Committee for Kingswood School, for the ensuing year, are, John Barber, John Pipe, John Davies, sen. Jeremiah Brettell, John Smith, sen. Robert Johnson, (Treasurer and Secretary,) Samuel Taylor, and Thomas Roberts; with Messrs. James Ewer, James Davis, and John Hall, of Bristol. 5.

truly our fellowship is with lowship which we have with you ; and the Father, and with his Son, Jesus Christ. Joyful are we to Head sharing feel that in all things we are united in our common ; the same consolations of the Holy Ghost; feeling the same un- feigned zeal for the advanct Hunt of the Kingdom ot Christ; and assured of the same hope of eternal life, unto which we are called. We truly sympathize wiih you in the removal of so many of your venerable ministers from the church militant ; —two have this year also taken their flight to God from amongst ourselves,— men of piety and zeal, and whose praise is in all the chinches. But while these veterans in the Lord's Hosts- have been called frOm the scene of was fare to the reward of glory and eternal peace, we should be stimulated with an holy vigour, and should awake to

all those energies necessary to fill up the broken lines ; and, with a similar fidelity and hardiness, encourage one another to strive for the hope of the gospel. It affords us no small pleasure that our feeble attempts to render ministerial services amongst us more useful and acceptable have not been di countenanced, but rather encouraged by your ap-

proval ; and that similar exertions are likely to succeed towards the same ends, on your side of the water. For, however confi- dent we may be, that without God nothing is holy—nothing is

•wise—-nothing is strong , we are also persuaded, that when the necessary means of ministerial usefulness, both as to the matter and manner of preaching, are neglected, (where the opportunity of improvement is v.ithin our reach,) the Divine blessing cannot be expected; but, on the contrary, it will be prevented, in as much as negligence prevents the acquirement of knowledge, and enthusiast ical presumption prevents the genuine inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We have to deplore with you also the serious embarrassment of our pecuniary affairs, which annually and unavoidably in- creases. The Methodists of Ireland are generally a poor j)eople, and, as you justly observe, " The itinerant plan is an expensive one:" yet when we consider, that without the smallest aid of patronage or support from those sources which have poured wealth into other churches, we have been so graciously assisted in our good work, we are encouraged still to repose upon the fullness and sufficiency of Him, whose are all things, and to the abound- ing of whose love in the hearts of his people we have never un- availingly appealed. We have heard, with joy, of your prosperity—of the success of the co-pc! — and of the extraordinary out-pouring of God's Spirit upon you, especially in the West of England. O beloved !

highly favoured of the Lord ! Yes, Britain has had her penti- costal visitations! From her has gone forth, (as from Judea in the former days.) the sure word of prophecy ; in her bosom was fast kindled (in these Utter times) the ardent fire of Missionary 1814.] ( 41 )

Zeal : and as much distinguished by her pacifying policy, as by her love of the gospel. While ?ht has conquered Peace, she has shed the glorious light of the Scriptures on all the nations of the earth ! With an holy gratitude we hail the return of Peace to the nations of Europe; and adore that awful Providence, which, after desolating the nations, has brought down the mighty from their thrones, and laughed to scorn the counsels of wicked men.

This is the Lord's doings, and it is marvellous in our eyes ! — It is our ardent prayer, in this auspicious moment, when Peace has resumed her seat in her sacred temple, and the sword is turned into a plough-share, and the spear into a pruning-hook, that benign peace and love may more generally be felt amongst pro-

fessing Christians ; and that, by a cordial endeavour to keep the unity of the spirit in the bond of peace, we may " by love serve one another." Feeling as we ought our abhorrence of the probable continuance of that nefarious traffic in human blood —the Slave Trade, we have, as a religious body of Ministers, humb'y presented our Petition to both Houses of Parliament, th:t his Majesty's Mi- nisters may be directed to use their utmost influence at the ap- proaching Congress, for its instant and total abolition. In this, we believe, we *peak the language of humanity, of religion, and of God. In our religious relation to society, notwithstanding the poli- tical contentions excited in this country, and the daring out- rages which have of late been frequent and alarming, we have had no cause to fear—we have had no interruption of otir meetings, nor obstruction of our active and vigorous itinerancy. Under a mild and liberal administration we have had peace in all our borders; and by a prompt and constant obedience to the laws of the Empire, our Society stands in the front of public confidence. At our Conference, last year, a most cordial feeling of interest in the success of the British and Foreign Bible Society was ope-

rative : and, in order to further the important and benevolent views of that Institution, it was directed that a Public Collection should be made in each Circuit, in aid of its funds. We regret that in this we have not been as successful as the magnitude of

the objects demands ; but we have given our mite, and what is more than silver and gold, viz. many prayers to the " Father of Lights" that he would send forth his Truth as the morning, and

his Righteousness as the sun at noon day ; " That the Gentiles may come to his light, and Kings to the brightness of his rising." The state of our Missions will be laid before your Committee; and we bless the gracious Lord, that while this good work goes forward prosperously, we have, by great exertions, been nearly enabled to cover the expense of the last year, ( 42 ) [1814. We deeply and sincerely regret, that our venerated friend and brother, Dr. Clarke, did not find it convenient to attend our so engaged as not to admit Conference : being, as we understand, of his meeting either your appointment, or our most affectionate wibhes. We have, however, endeavoured, by looking to God service; in whom is our sufficiency, to supply that lack of and we have voted our beloved and reverend Brother, Adam Averell, into the chair; and feel it our duty to express our warmest ap- probation of the manner and spirit in which he discharged the office of President. Our case this Conference we consider as an extraordinary one, and wholly unprovided for: we therefore entreat you to make such provision as may in future prevent the recurrence of a similar inconvenience. The office of Presi- dent amongst us next year, we trust you will fill as your best judg- ment shall determine. For the present we do not feel disposed to direct the man of your choice, but request that some one of your Body may be appointed. We send, as our representative, our much-loved and highly- respected Brother, Samuel Wood: and are always glad to recog- nize, in these interchanges of affection and confidence, that we are followers together of Christ Jesus. We devoutly pray, that the riches of the grace and of the knowledge of God may abound in you—that in all things you may be approved by him who is Judge of all —and that we all may be glorified together in the day of his coming. Signed by Order, and on Behalf of the Conference, WILLIAM STEWART, Secretary. Dublin, July 12, 1814.

The Answer of the British Conference to the Irish Addulss. Beloved and respected Brethren, YOUR Address, delivered to us by our respected Brother, Mr. Samuel Wood, has been read in full Conference; and we rejoice to learn from it, that the Great Lord of the Harvest con- tinues to crown your labours with success. In common with you, we feel a union of heart with all the true minister* of Christ, but especially with those who maintain the scriptural doctrines so ably explained by our late venerable Founder, and who support that excellent discipline which the test of seventy years has proved to be admirably calculated to promote the genuine piety. Other revivals of religion, in different ages of the Church, have rarely survived a generation ; but that which had its rise at Oxford about the year 1729, continues to the present time in all its pri- mitive vigour. This circumstance may be adduced in proof of the soundness of the doctrines and excellence of the discipline 1814,] ( 43 ) maintained in our Connexion. For had not the preachers who preceded us continued to " hold fast the form of sound words," they would not have been instrumental in turning sinners from

darkness to light ; and had they not exercised christian discipline, however ably they might have preached the grand doctrines of the Go pel, they would have witnessed little or no abiding fruit of their labours. But they were men of God, who took heed to themselves, and to all the flock over which the Holy Ghost had made them overseers : hence the hand of the Lord was with them, and many were brought to God, and built up in faith and love by their instrumentality. Our continued prosperity, as a reli- gious body, evinces that we have not deviated, either in doctrine or discipline, from the scriptural path which they pointed out to us, by precept and example. With those eminent servants of the living God, who have gone to their great reward, several of

us were personally acquainted ; we still revere their memory, and earnestly desire to imitate their bright example, by devoting our- selves entirely to God, and by a faithful discharge of every mini- sterial duty. Nor are we without hope, that not only the present, but every succeeding race of Preachers in our Connexion, will, by exemplary holiness of life, and a faithful discharge of the duties of their high and holy calling, adorn ttu ir sacred profession. This hope, under God, we found upon the great care and caution used in

the admission of Preachers upon trial or into full connexion ; and the strict examination in point of doctrines, morals, and discipline, which every Preacher's character annually undergoes in his re- spective District Meeting and in the Conference. The following are chiefly the doctrines to which their unequi- vocal assent is demanded : —A Trinity of Persons in the Unity of the Godhead; the total depravity of all men by nature, in con-

sequence of Adam's fall ; the atonement made by Christ for the

sins of all the human race; justification by faith ; the absolute necessity of holiness both in heart and life; the direct witness of

the Spirit ; and the proper eternity of future rewards and punish- ments. These, and the doctrines connected with them, you well know, form the system of our divinity. Nor is the examination of our Preachers on the subject of morals, in which we include tempers, words, and actions, less faithful; and it is well known, that a neglect of discipline would subject to censure any of our Preachers, however respectable for years, piety, and talents, Add to all this, that no man is so much as admitted upon trial among us, without giving all the evidence that the nature of the subject will admit, that he enjoys a sense of his acceptance with God, and is going on to perfection. But as suitable abilities, in addition to godliness and orthodoxy, are essential requisites for the work of the ministry, we neither ( 44 ) [1814.

admit nor continue among us men, who, by neglecting to im- prove their minds, evidence their unfitness for the blessed work of feeding the Lord's people with knowledge and understanding. The advantages which our Preachers now possess for mental im- provement are numerous; and we are happy to observe that in general they so avail themselves of those advantages, as to be- come workmen that need not to be ashamed. The late glorious revival of the work of God in the West of England, excites our warmest gratitude to Him, who at his plea- sure affords extraordinary times of refreshing from his presence. Such times you have been repeatedly favoured with in Ireland • and we trust that they will become general throughout the whole of our Connexion.

The zeal and liberality of our people, during the past year, in

behalf of our Missions, have been unprecedented ; and we have considerably increased the number of our Missionaries. Your great exertions in support of the same holy Cause, and of the work of God at large, merit our decided approbation. We hail with you the return of peace, after a long- protracted and most sanguinary war ; and we feel unfeigned gratitude to Him, who rules in the kingdoms of men, for employing the British government, under which we enjoy so much civil and religious liberty, as the principal instrument of restoring tran- quillity to Europe. We have appointed our highly respected Brother, Mr. Walter Griffith, the late President of our Conference, to preside at your next Conference ; and we doubt not that our common Lord will make his visit a blessing, not only fo your Conference, but to thousands, who shall in your metropolis, sit under his ministry. Signed in Behalf of the Conference, ADAM CLARKE, President. JABEZ BUNTING, Secretary.* Bristol, Aug, 10, 1814. 18 14,. J ( 45 )

In Ireland—John Jebbs, William Richey, Joseph Egerton, James Home, John Hill, William M'Kee. Q.&. What Preachers have died during the past year? A. 1. We have this year to record the departure of Thomas Cokle, LL. D. who died on his voyage with six Missionaries tor Ceylon, and other parts of the East, on May 3, J814-. On the first day of that month he was indisposed ; but not so as to excite apprehension of danger. On the following day he was able to take the air on deck. After he retired in the evening, he, as ( 90 ) [1815.

usual, pressed the hand of the Missionary who attended him, and prayed the Lord to bless him. But when his apartment was en- tered on the following morning, it was found that his spirit had escaped to the mansions of light. His remains were committed to the great deep in S. Lat. 2 deg. 29 min. E. Long. 59 deg. 29 inin. until the grave and the sea shall give up their dead. Dr. Coke was a Gentleman- Commoner of Jesus College, Ox- ford, where he took the degree of Doctor of Laws. He became acquainted with the writings of the late Rev. J. Fletcher, (which were instrumental in leading him to a saving knowledge of the "ospel,) and with the Rev. J. Wesley and his Societies. From 1786, Dr. Coke had the principal direction of our Missions, and to this glorious cause he entirely yielded up all his time, strength, and talents. It has been truly stated, that for many years he " stooped to the very drudgery of charity, and gra- tuitously pleaded the cause of a perishing world from door to door." Under his influence, Missions were established in almost every English island of the West Indies. The flame of his Mis- sionary zeal burst forth on British America. Methodist Societies were formed by him, or under his superintendance, in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and the islands, on the Eastern coast of the American Continent, and subsequently in the Bahamas and Ber-

muda ; and to the coast of Africa also, he directed his zealous efforts. Dr. Coke was characterised principally by his simplicity and fervonr of spirit. His ministry was generally acceptable, and his labours in promoting the great canse of religion, were highly estimated by all who knew their beneficial importance. A Life of this eminent man is preparing for the press. 2. John Davis, a native of London, who was employed as a

Missionary in the West Indies. Flis piety was eminent : he lived in the spirit of his Christian profession, and in that spirit he djed. His talents as a Minister were respectable, and his labours were generally approved. The early close of a life and ministry, which were equally devout and useful, is deeply lamented by those who knew him ; and his reward is with the Lord. 3. William Saunpehs, who on the 11th of April, 1815, and in the 70th year of his age, was called to his great reward. He became an Itinerant Preacher in the year 1777, and con- tinued bis labours with general acceptance, until the year I80l>, when, in consequence of the increasing infirmities of age, he was under the necessity of retiring. He continued, however, to preach occasionally, until ho entered into his Master's joy. 4. Isaac Bkown, a native of Hawkesworth, near Otiey, who was a faithful labourer in our Lord's vineyard for the space of 4 'J years. He began his itinerant career in the year 17^0, and in iso.j was forced by increasing infirmities to delist. He settled 1815.] ( 91 ) in Pontefract, where he preached occasionally, and as his strength would allow. He was well known and greatly beloved by our venerable father, Mr. John Wesley ; who, when he had occasion to mention him, used to say, " Honest Isaac Brown." A child-like innocency appeared in his spirit, and his whole de- portment was such as becometh the Gospel of Christ. He la- boured hard and long, and his work is with the Lord, who did not suffer him to spend his strength for nought. His death was a true comment on those words of the Psalmist, " Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright ; for the end of that man is peace." 5. Joseph Drake. Hi; commenced his itinerant labours in the year 1 794-. 1 1 is pit ty was genuine, and his ministerial talent3 acceptable. The Church of God has been deprived of the ser- vices of this excellent man at an unexpected moment. He came to this Conference, apparently in good health: on Friday, the 11th of August, he felt himself indisposed, returned the next day to Blackburn, and expired happy in God on the Wednesday following, in the 63d year of his age, and the 21st of his Itine- rancy. Q. 5. Are there any objections to any of our Brethren? A. They were examined one by one. Q.. 6. Who have desisted from travelling? A. 1. John W. Green; and in Ireland, James M'Quigge. 2. Charles Burton, Thomas Jackson, jun. William Catton, John Rudedge, John Milne, and John Jones; who have volun- tarily left the Work. 3. Peter Le Sueur; who had been employed as a French Missionary, but has sent in his resignation. 4. F. C. Reed, Peter White, and Richard Martin ; who retire for want of health. Q. 7. How are our Preachers stationed this year ? Jl. As follows: viz. GREAT BRITAIN.

Let no singing be allowed in any of our chapels, after the public service has been regularly closed by the Officiating Preacher; as we think that singing, at such times, tends to ex- tinguish the spirit of devotion, and to destroy those serious im- pressions which may have been made on the congregations by the previous Ministry of God's Word. 2. Let our Rules respecting Singing, and especially those which restrict the useof Instrumental Music in our public worship, as published in our Minutes for the year 1805, be uniformly enforced. 3. Let the excellent Paper, inserted by Mr. Wesley, in the Arminian Magazine for 1781, and entitled, " Thoughts on the ( 122 ) [18 15.' Power of Music," be immediately^ reprinted in the Magazine, and also published in a separate form, that copies may be sent to every circuit. And let the Preachers propote, as much as possible, the restoration (in our Public Singing) of the style of Mu&ic which that Paper recommends, and which is exemplified in many of our best and oldest Tunes. 4. Let our Preachers take care to examine the Hymns whichj are to be sung in our chapels, when Charity Sermons are to be preached, or on other particular occasions; and let them reject all those which are not decidedly unobjectionable in point off senti- ment and of poetry; and we 'earnestly recommend that oar own authorised Hynins be generally, preferred for all such purposes. Q.. 16. What further Regulation is expedient with respefttj,o

' our Public Worship ? " ' -' m ^ A. 1. The following Articles in the Plan of PacWjCation, adopted in the year 1795, shall be re-published in our Minutes; and the Preachers are desired to remember that they are standing Rules of the Connexion: viz. ' "' % a. " The Lord's Supper shall be always administered in Engkhld, according to the form of the Established Church ; but the person, who administers shall have full liberty to give out hymns, and to '* use exhortations and extemporary prayer. • ^ " Wherever Divine Service is performed in England, on the Lord's Day, in Church Hours, the Officiating Preacher shall read either the service of the Established Church, our venerable Father's Abridgement, or at least the Lessons appointed by the Calendar; but we recommend either the full Service or* the

* Abridgment. - 2. With a view to the full execution of these Rules, and,in order to meet the case of those of our Societies* at home and abroad, who in accordance with the recommendation* of the Con- ference, make use of Mr. Wesley's Abridgment of the Liturgy, our Book- Committee shall, without loss of time, publish arid advertise a new edition of the said Abridgment, both in the duodecimo size for individual accommodation, and in the quarto size in ' • lobe used the Pulpits:. ^ , Q. 17. Can arfy additional methods be devised, in order to "* promote the mental improvement of our Preachers ? -, A. 1. The Chairman of Districts shall, Distrtc£ m at each Meeting, examine every Preacher on Trial, respecting the coucse. of theological reading which he may have jftrsued in the cpurjff of the preceding year. For this purpose, every such'Preachef* is required to deliver to the Chairman of his District, a list of the Books which he has read since the preceding Dislrict*Meeting.^ These lis'.s shall be laid beforft . the Meeting, . that th* senior Brethren may have an opportunity of giving to 'the junior Preachers, such advices and directing respecting their stifUi^saB^ may appear to be necessary. 1815.] ( 123 )

2. Before any Preacher, having travelled four years, is recom- mended by his District- Meeting, for admission into full con- nexion, he shall undergo a careful examination, by the Chair- man of that Meeting, respecting his acquaintance with Mr. Wesley's Works in general, arid especially with his Sermons, and his Notes on the New Testament, in addition to the other Examinations required by our existing Rules: and no Preacher shall be so recommended, unless the result of his Examination be satisfactory to the Meeting. 3. Those Preachers on trial, who do not already possess Mr. Wesley's Works, are required to procure them, during the period of their probation j and shall be allowed to pay for ihem to our Book- Steward, if they desire it, by such instalments as may best suit their convenience. 4. We recommend to all our Preachers, Mr. Benson's Com- mentary on the Holy Scriptures ; and we direct our Book- Steward to allow those Preachers who shall choose it, to pur- chase that Commentary for their own use, at one half of the selling price. Q. 18. In what manner shall our Rules respecting the Preachers' Auxiliary Fund, be executed ? A. 1. All allowances proposed to be made out of that Fund in certain cases of peculiar affliction, to Preachers regularly sta- tioned in circuits, shall be first proposed in the Quarterly Meet- ing, and recommended by the signature of one of the Circuit- Stewards. They shall then be examined in the District- Meetings, and receive their sanction. They shall next be submitted, after the cases of Superannuated and Supernumerary Preachers, and those of the widows and children of deceased Preachers have been considered, to the investigation of the Committee of Eleven, chosen, according to law, at every Conference. The decision of that Committee, if approved of by the Conference, shall be final. And no allowance for affliction shall be paid to Preachers, stationed on circuits as effective men, which has not been thus examined and approved. 2. A Report of the whole Receipts and Disbursements of the Auxiliary Fund, shall continue to be published annually, and a copy sent to every Subscriber of Ten Shillings or upwards. In the Preface to every such Annual Report shall be re-printed the following Rule, according to which all Subscriptions to it are strictly appropriated : viz. " The monies raised for the Auxiliary Fund, shall be applied, after paying the Old Annuitants who have regular claims upon it, (1.) to supply the wants of Supernumerary Preachers, not yet declared superannuated : — (2.) to assist Preachers who have been visited by peculiar personal or family afflictions : — (3.) to furnish additional aid to super- annuated Preachers, whose legal allowance from the Me- ( 124 ) L1815.

thodist Preacher's Annuitant Society is inadequate to their wants: — and, (4.) in general, to defray various mis- cellaneous expenses, respecting the Families of disabled or deceased Preachers." 3. Among the cases provided for under the preceding Rule, those of the Children of deceased Preachers shall be taken into particular consideration by the Committee of Eleven ; and a sum not exceeding the amount of the usual provision for Children of living Preachers, shall be appropriated for their education and maintenance. 4. The relief to be occasionally granted to Preachers in the cases of affliction, described under the first Article of this Mi- nute, is only to be allowed out of the Auxiliary Fund, in such instances of peculiar affliction as cannot be relieved in the ordi- nary aud regular way, by the exertions of the Circuits in which those Preachers labour. The District-Meetings, and the Com- mittee of Eleven, are required to pay particular attention to this point. 5. Every Snperintendant, in whose Circuit any Claimant on the Auxiliary Fund may reside, is required to lay the whole case of such Claimant before the District-Meeting of which he is a member; the particulars of which shall be entered upon the District- Minutes for the direction of the Committee of Eleven. On the same Minutes shall also be entered the exact age of those

Children of deceased Preachers, in whose behalf any claim is made upon this Fund. Q. 19. What plan shall now be adopted, in consequence of the death of Dr. Coke, the late General Superintendant of the Methodist Missions, for the future management of those impor- tant concerns ? A. 1. All our Missions shall be subject, as heretofore, to the general direction of the Conference, under whose authority the Missionaries have engaged in the work, and who are responsible to them for. the provision of the necessary supplies, during the continuance of their engagements. 2. The spiritual concerns of the Missions shall be under the exclusive superintendance of the Conference; who shall, in par- ticular, have the sole right of selecting and appointing Mission- aries, according to the established Rules respecting the admission of Preachers into our Body, —of stationing, from year to year, the Missionaries so appointed, —and of trying, censuring, or recalling them, whenever such measures may seem expedient. 3. The Missions and Missionaries, appointed by the Confe- rence, shall be superintended, during the intervals of the sittings of the Conference, by an Executive Committee, consisting of the Preachers stationed in London* and of the two General Treasurers mentioned in the succeeding Article of this Plan. 1815.] ( 125 )

. Two Joint- Treasurers for our General Missionary Fund, shall be annually chosen by the Conference; one of whom, for the convenience of the Missionaries, shall be a travelling

Preacher stationed in London ; the other, a respectable Member of our Society, not a Travelling Preacher. 5. The General Treasurers shall appoint a Banker, with whom they shall open an account, and in whose hands all monies re- ceived by them, for the support of the Missions, shall be regu- larly placed. No monies, so deposited, shall be withdrawn from the bank, without the mutual consent of the two Trea- surers ; except when one of them is absent, and bills are pre- sented, which absolutely require immediate payment. And in such excepted cases, the sums drawn out by a separate order shall be specially notified to the Committee at their next meeting. 6. Two of the Preachers stationed in London shall be annu- ally appointed to act as Secretaries to the Executive Committee, and the Conference, for Missionary Affairs. 7. The accounts of Receipts and Disbursements, on account of our Missions, shall in future be made up to the 24th day of June in each year. '8. A Committee of Examination and Finance shall be annu- ally chosen by the Conference, to meet on the Friday and Satur- day which shall immediately precede the meeting of the ensuing Conference, and in the same city or town in which such Con- ference is to be held. This Committee shall consist of the Pre- sident and Secretary of the Conference, for the time being;— of the two General Treasurers, and those other Members of the Executive Committee who can attend; —of nine other Travelling Preachers ; —and of nine respectable Members of our Society, not being Travelling Preachers, resident in the District or Dis- tricts contiguous to the place in which that Conference is to assemble. 9. To this Committee of Examination and Finance, detailed Accounts of our Missionary Receipts and Disbursements, during the preceding year, shall be submitted for investigation ; together with every question connected with the Financial Department of our Missionary business; and no such question shall be brought before the Conference, until a special report of their opinion has been drawn up and presented. 10 A General Report of the State of our Missions shall be annually prepared by the Executive Committee, and, if approved by the Committee of Examination and Finance, and by the Conference, shall be published and circulated. To this Jieport shall be appended, as usual, the Accounts of Receipts and Dis- bursements, as examined and audited by the last-mentioned Committee. N. B. 1. In order to facilitate the immediate adoption of the foregoing plan, Mr. Wood, the present General Treasurer, is ( 126 ) [1815.

requested to close his Missionary Account at the time when this Conference shall finish its sittings. The Account, made up to that period, shall be published; and a new Account opened by the new Treasurers, which shall be closed, according to the 7th Article of the Plan, on the 24th of June, 1816, and presented to the Committee of Examination and Finance, in the end of the following month. 2. 1'he Executive Committee, in conjunction with the Book- Committee, are directed to take into serious consideration the best method of furnishing the Preachers, the Missionary Soci- eties, and all other Friends to the Cause, throughout the Country, with regular and early communications of Missionary Intelligence. 3. We recommend to our Preachers and People the establish- ment of Missionary Prayer-Meetings, to be held in our Chapels once a month, wherever it can be made convenient. 4. No Missionary in the West-Indies, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Canada, or Bermuda, shall be per- mitted to draw a bill for more than fifty pounds at one time, without previous advice and explanation of the extraordinary nature and circumstances of the case. No Missionary stationed in the East shall be permitted to draw a bill for more than one hundred and fifty pounds at one time, without similar advice and explanation. And where there are more than one Preacher on the particular station, at which any such bill is drawn, all their names shall be affixed to the bill. Q.. 20. Who are the Geueral Treasurers and Secretaries for our Missions, for the ensuing year? A. Thomas Thompson, Esq. M.P. and Mr. James Wood are respectfully requested to accept the office of Joint Treasurers; and Mr. Buckley and Mr. Thomas Wood are appointed Joint Secretai ies. Q. 21. Who shall compose the Committee of Examination and Finance, for our Missionary Affairs, for the next year? A. 1. The President and Secretary of the Conference, the General Treasurers, and the Preachers in London, are, ex officio, members of that Committee. 2. The nine Preachers, appointed according to rule, are the following: viz. Henry Moore, Adam Clarke, Charles Atmore, Walter Griffith, George Highfield, Richard Reece, Samuel Tay- lor, Robert Smith, and George Morley. 3. The following persons, viz. Joseph Butterworth, Esq. M.P. Mr. David Bruce, Mr. Joseph Bulmer, Mr. William Marsden, Mr. John Cooper, Mr. Thomas Marriott, Mr. Richard Smith, (all of London,) Mr. Hulett, of Brompton, and Mr. Jennings,, of Rotherhithe, are respectfully requested to act as the nine othf r members of the Committee. Q. 22. What increase shall be made this year in the number of our Foreign Missionaries ? ;

1815.] ( 127 ) A. In compliance with the pressing requests received from abroad, and in humble dependence on the blessings of God, and the continued exertions and liberality of our Friends, and of the Public, we authorise our Executive Committee to send, out, as soon as convenient, Four additional Missionaries to the West-Indies, &c. Four ditto ditto to the British Provinces in North A merica

Two ditto ditto to Newfoundland ; and Six ditto ditto to Ceylon and the East.

N. B. Several other proposals respecting the extension of our Missionary Efforts, which were laid before the Conference, are referred to the consideration and' discretion of tli3 Committee. Q. 23. What is the judgment of the Conference respecting that part of our work, which has been usually termed The Home-Missions ? A. 1. The terms, Home-Missions and Home- Missionaries, shall be disused. 2. All the stations in England, which have been called Home- Missions, shall from this time be considered, either as distinct and regular circuits, or as appended to the regular circuits to which they are contiguous. 3. The Preachers employed in such stations, and heretofore considered as Home-Missionaries, shall be henceforth considered as additional Preachers, subject to the authority of the District- Meetings, and to every part of our discipline, like all other Preachers. 4. Those expenses, connected with the employment of such Preachers, which cannot be raised among the people for whom they labour, or in the circuits to which they are attached, shall be first examined and approved by the Quarterly-Meetings, and then allowed by the District-Meetings, to be paid out of the Yearly Collection, according to the same rules which direct the payment of all other ordinary and extraordinary deficiencies in the circuits. 5. In order to provide for the expenses which may be incurred by the employment of additional Preachers, for the purpose of carrying the Gospel and its ordinances into those parts of our own country which are in a great degree destitute of the ordinary means of religious iustruction,—as well as to prevent, if possible, the necessity of future Extraordinary Collections, by making the yearly Income of the Contingent Fund more equal to the average amount of the demands upon it, —an Annual Public Collection, for the Support and Spread of the Gospel at home, shall be made in all our congregations throughout the kingdom, in the early part of the month of July; which shall be brought to the ( 128 ) [1815. ensuing Conference, and applied in aid of the old-established Yearly Collection, which is made privately in the Classes. 6. An Address to our Congregations, on the design and ne- cessity of this Collection, shall be prepared; copies of which shall be sent to every Circuit, for the guidance of the Preachers who mav be employed in making it. Q. '_>4. What regulation is necessary, respecting Public Collec- tions? A. We direct our Superintendants to be punctual in making the General Collections, which are requisite for the support of the work at large, at those times of the year at which they are regularly appointed to be made; and we intreat our Friends so to arrange the times of their various Local Collections, as not to interfere with measures which are essential to the very existence of Methodism. K B. I. The regular times of our general Congregational Collections are as follow: viz. n.) The Public Collection for Kingswood and Woodhouse- Grove Schools, and for the Education of the Preachers' Children, generally, is to be made in the month of October.

(2.) The Collections allowed for Chapels in cases of distress, are to be made in January or February at latest.

(3.) The Public Collection for Missions is to be made in

May ; except in places where a Collection has been made for that purpose at Missionary Meetings, or by means of Missionary Societies; in which cases the Public Collection may be omitted. (4.) The Collection to be applied in aid of the Contingent Fund, for the support* and spread of the Gospel at home, is to be made in Julv. II. The Private Collections for the General Purposes of the

Connexion are also to be made as usual : viz.

( 1.) Private Subscriptions for the Schools, Sec. are to be so- licited from our private Members, Hearers, ami Friends, in every Circuit, in the month of October, previously to the making of the Public Collection for the same purpose. (_>.) The Private Yearly Subscription in the Classes, for the support of the work at home, is to be proposed at the time of the March Visitation, and the sums contri- buted are to be collected as soon as convenient, and brought to the District Meetings. (3.) The Private Subscriptions for the Preachers' Auxiliary Fund, are to be collected as soon as possible after Mid- summer. 0. 25. What steps can be taken in order to prevent an increase of the general debt of the Connection? 1815.] ( 129 )

A. 1. On considering the present embarrassed state of our finances, and the absolute necessity of economical arrangements, we solemnly and unanimously agree, That the number of Preachers to be employed in the Connection at home, shall not at the next Conference be allowed, on any account whatever, to exceed on the whole, the number of Preachers stationed at the present Con- ference. If additional Preachers shall appear to be urgently wanted in some particular circuits, such wants shall, for that time, be supplied by withdrawing Preachers from those circuits in which the necessity for their labours is of a less pressing na- ture, or in which the success of past exertions has been compara- tively small and inconsiderable. 2. We again most earnesly advise and exhort our friends to use the utmost caution with respect to the erection of new cha- pels; —to remember especially Mr. Wesley's advice, " Beware of building expensive chapels ;"-r-and not to engage in any such undertaking, in the present state of our affairs, without a moral certainty that the income from seat-rents, together with the sub- scriptions that may be raised in the circuit to which the nev,- chapel is to belong, will be such as to prevent future embarrass- ment, and meet all the additional expenses of every sort, without that help from other parts of the Connexion which it is now found so very difficult to obtain. And we call the attention of of our Preachers and Societies to the following Minute of the year 1813; viz. " Our friends who may contemplate in future the erection of new chapels, are earnestly entreated to inquire, before any decisive step be taken, whether, by the building of such chapel, an additional travelling Preacher will not be ren- dered necessary ; and whether, in that case, they can support him out of the funds of the chapel, or of their own circuit." 3. It is agreed, That all claims on the Contingent Fund for travelling expenses, shall first pass through a Quarterly Meeting, and be signed by the Circuit Steward, as approved, before they are proposed to the District Meeting or to the Conference. Q. 26. Can any amendment be made in the existing rule con- cerning letters sent to our public schools? A. In future, the Preachers who write to the Governors or to the boys, shall either send their letters post-paid, or refund the amount of the Postage to the Governors at the ensuing Con- ference. Q. 27. Who are the Committee for Kingswood School for the ensuing year ?

A. John Barber, Chairman : Samuel Taylor, Secretary : Robert Johnson, Treasurer ; Joseph Taylor, jun. William Mar- tin, John Rigg, Jeremiah Brettell, John Smith, sen. Thomas

Roberts, and John Wood ; with Thomas Roberts, Esq. Mr. John Hall, and Mr. James Wood, of Bristol. VOL. IV. I ;

181*.] ( 130 )

Q.. 28. Who are the Committee for Woodhouse-Grove for the ensuing year?

A. Walter Griffith, Chairman ,- John Stamp, Secretary ,• Tho- mas Stanley, Treasurer ; Thomas Bartholomew, George High- field, John Braithwaite, John Stephens, Jacob Stanley, Cleland Kirkpatrick, Charles Gloyne, Robert Newton, William Rad- clifFe, sen. Henry Taft, and Thomas Hill ; with Messrs. Fawcett, of Bradford ; B. Sadler, of Leeds ; John Ashworth, of Halifax Holdsworth, of Wakefield; John Sutcliffe, of Sowerby Bridge; and Child, of Greengates.

Miscellaneous Orders and Resolutions of the Conference.

1. No motion shall be discussed, at any future Conference, proposing a new rule that would affect our Connexion in general, unless notice be given of such motion at least on the day before it is brought forward. 2. The cordial and unanimous thanks of the Conference are given to the Rev. J. M. Bletsoe, M. A. for his valuable and gratuitous services as Head Master of the School at Woodhouse-

Grove ; and he is requested to accept from the Conference, as a token of their respect, a set of Mr. Wesley's Works, elegantly

bound, which our Book Steward is hereby directed to transmit • 3. The Superintendants of Circuits are directed to explain to

those Quarterly Meetings, which shall request it, the reasons which induced the Conference of last year to pass the resolution, by which, in conformity to a practice which had been previously and voluntarily introduced by our friends in several circuits, the Preachers are permitted, in certain cases which that resolution describes, to receive a small allowance for their children until

the age of twenty years : but though the Conference fully de- pends on the conviction, which such explanations will produce, of the equity and necessity of that particular measure, they are desirous to guard against all reasonable ground of complaint,

and to secure the perfect confidence of their societies ; and have

therefore resolved as follows : viz. That, in future, no new pro- posal, which is designed to effect a general augmentation of the income of the Preachers, in the Connexion at large, shall be definitively adopted as a rule, until it shall have received the assent of a majority of the District Meetings throughout the kingdom, at the time when the financial affairs of the Districts are transacted ; during which time, according to an existing ride, the Circuit Stewards of every circuit in each District are to be invited to attend the District Meeting, and shall have a right to vote on every such proposal respecting any general in- crease of allowances. 1815.] ( 131 )

Q.. 29. When and where shall our next Conference be held ? A. In London, on the last Monday in July, 1816. Signed on behalf and by order of the Conference, JOHN BARBER, President. JABEZ BUNTING, Secretary. Manchester, Aug. 18, 181.5.

N. B. 1. The Stationing Committee are to assemble at nine o'clock in the morning of the Monday before the commencement of the next Conference: and Messrs. Waddy, Braithwajte, and Warren, are to meet at the same time to audit and prepare the General Accounts. 2. All Letters written to the President, in the course of the year, should be sent post paid, and addressed to the Rev. John Barber, Montague-Street, Bristol.

The Address of the Irish Conference to the British Conference. Dear Fathers and Brethren, GRACE be unto you, and peace from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. According to our annual usage, we address you, and feel assured of that mutual love—which is by Him—" from whom the whole body fitly joined together, and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working, in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body." Your address we received as a pledge of your affection for, and confidence in us ; and we rejoice to feel, that with you, God hath given unto us an understanding of the Truth which is according to his will, and by which Truth we are saved. Through grace, by the unfeigned faith of the Gospel, we have been raised up to- gether, and have been made to sit together in heavenly places in

Christ Jesus ; and have seen and felt the exceeding riches of his &grace and his kindness towards us." When our merciful Lord visited this island by the Messrs. Wesleys, and the first Methodist Preachers, our fathers were instructed in the Truth as it is in Jesus; they saw themselves lost, guilty, and undone sinners by nature and practice ; they, by sincere repentance and lively faith, were led to the all-sufficiency of the Atonement by the blood of our

Lord God and Saviour ; they rejoiced in the full assurance of their adoption, and cleansed themselves—perfecting holiness in the lear of- the Lord:—in this same faith have we been instructed, and being comforted by its experimental power in our own hearts, we have testified the grace of God, and have laboured and continued unto this day. Since the beginning of this blessed work, almost 12 !

( 132 ) [1815. every year has been marked with some signal token of divine favour, and the word of the Lord has been greatly multiplied among us : and it is matter of thanksgiving that the last year also has been favoured with " times of refreshing coming from the presence of (he Lord." In several Circuits there has been a great enlargement «f our Zion, and though from various circum- stances, our increase does not appear, yet we have seen many turned " from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God." The Irish Missions still continue to bless our land ; — several of the Catholics have, during the last year, been enlightened and turned to God, and not a few of the careless Protestants brought to that knowledge of God, in which standeth eternal life. The opening prospects of the Eastern Mission to Ceylon, &c. afford to us a pleasing hope of future labour and success ; and though we deeply deplore, (as indeed must all the lovers of Mis- sionary labours,) the untimely removal of our highly-venerated friend and brother, Dr. Coke,—yet we have learned not only to adore the inscrutable dispensations of God, but also that, HE who rules over all things in the heavens and in the earth, in wis- dom and love, hath the means of accomplishing all good ends—to all his creatures, in his oism hands. Our pecuniary embarrassments, and many other weighty sub- jects which have come before our Conference, have not only pro- longed our sitting, but have seriously and deeply exercised our minds ; but by an humble looking to God, and we trust a tender and faithful attention to the interest of our connexion on this side of the water, we have been led to the most amicable means of adjustment. Our little bark has been often tossed upon a tem- pestuous sea ; but He whose wisdom guides the helm, has hitherto saved us from being shipwrecked ; and to his guidance we still look, that we may find the haven of peace. These eventful times among the nations are strongly marked by the Divine interference ; and whilst we learn to adore the deep and unsearchable councils of God, we feel gratitude to Him whose—is the victory, and the glory, and the kingdom, for ever Your very judicious choice of our President as afforded an

unspeakable satisfaction ; and while we express our gratitude for the appointment of our esteemed and much-loved Brother Griffith, we are still disposed to leave to your wisdom the choice of the President of our next Conference ; and so much the more freely, because we have found your choice of our Presidents from time to time, most perfectly correspond with our best wishes, and tending to strengthen the bonds of brotherhood between the two countries. We send as our Representative to your Conference our beloved

Brother, Matthew Tobias ; and we commend him and you, dear 1815.] ( 133 ) Fathers and Brethren, " to God and the Word of his grace, which is able to build you up, and give you an inheritance among all (hem which are sanctified." Signed on Behalf, and by Order, of Conference, ROBERT CROZIER, Secretary. Dublin, July 21, 1815.

The Answer of the British Conference to the Addres* from the Irish Conference. Dear Brethren, CASTING our regards on the religious world, to trace the counsel and glory of God in his sanctuary, we rejoice to observe, that the general character of Christianity, in the present age, is strongly marked by " good will to men." The diffusion of the sacred Scriptures in every language ; Missionary efforts to instruct the heathen ; evangelical preaching at home ; gratituitous in- struction of children ; and benevolence to the poor in every form ; attract an union of heart, and rivalship of exertion among all good men. In all these pious efforts, the Methodists, according to the utmost of their power, have been among the most dis- tinguished, and often so far taken the lead, that our Christian brethren of other denominations, have been excited to emulation, and have adopted our plans. With regard to the work of God, on this side the water, we are happy to add, that we have cause of continued joy. Our increase of numbers during the past year, has been about eight thousand. Conversions among us are very frequent; and wherever a chapel has been erected, with few exceptions, a greater or a less revival of religion has ensued. — So circumstanced, our ministry daily becomes a charge more weighty and impressive to ourselves. We have sinners to address more enlightened with knowledge than in former years, and on whose minds divine truths can produce little effect unless accompanied with the pe- culiar power of God. We have a vast body of believers to in- struct and edify, who are very much exposed to the temptations of the age. We find it necessary to urge them to go back to the New Testament, and to the early writings of Methodism for models of purity, of self-denial, and of entire devotedness to God, that we may bear our trials with Christian temper, and cheerfully embrace the will of our heavenly Father. With regard to Missionary labours, it is pleasing to say, that heaven has cast a gracious smile on all our work. Some defects of discipline in the West Indies have been surmounted, and the islands begin to assume the form of English circuits. In Nova Scotia, in Newfoundland, and the adjacent Isles, the inhabitants 13 —

( 134- ) £1815. evince great affection for the Missionaries, and continue to solicit a greater portion of their labours.—In Ceylon, that Divine in- fluence which prompted the lute Rev. Dr. .Coke to sail for the East, and the Conference to second his views, has disposed all ranks of men to receive the Missionaries with the utmost kindness and affection. The general cry in the breasts of all good men is, " Come over and help us." We are about so far to comply with their requests, as to send over six' additional labourers. The priest of the Budhu Temple, whose conversion gave us so much joy, continues steadfast in his views, and assiduous in labours. He has sent us over about five hundred verses cf a new trans- lation of the Sacred Scriptures into the Cingalese dialect, written on the palmetto leaf, accompanied with a grateful address. The execution obviously indicates the author to be a man of letters, and of great hope to the work in the East. With regard to the expenses of Missions so extensive, the Great Author of the work seems to have become responsible for the demands. He has whispered in the hearts of his children,

" The gold is mine, and the silver is mine, saith the Lord."— Feeling the impulse, they have formed themselves into Missionary Associations in all parts of England, and come forward with a liberality highly pleasing. Labouring therefore together in a work so glorious, we cor- dially enter into all your views of unity and love between the brethren of both countries. It mutually strengthens our hands, and exhibits a Christian temper calculated to recommend religion to the world. Your gratitude for the light and help which your fathers received from the first Methodists Preachers that visited Ireland, indicates your high sense of the value of the Gospel, and expresses a sentiment truly Christian. We rejoice that you hold fast those truths, and cherish piety with constant care. We rejoice not less to hear that sinners have been converted, whether Catholic or Protestant in exterior name. J3ut with regard to sin- ners converted from the Catholics, we have generally found them to be persons of good understanding, and sound religion; for men of less firm principle have seldom resolution to make the sacrifices and endure the reproaches, to which such persons, on joining with us become exposed. We exhort, and encourage you, brethren, to persevere in every good effort, that your ministry may ever be a transcript of all that ought to pass between God and your hearers, and that you may continue to win over a mul- titude of sinners to the Lord.

Brother Tobias, your Representative, has in' all things been attentive to your business, and rendered himself agreeable to us, by communicating all the requisite information respecting the affairs of Ireland. 1815.] ( 135 ) We have appointed our dear Brother, and respected President, Mr. Barber, to preside at your next Conference, believing that he will be able to advise and assist you in all your affairs. Signed on behalf of the Conference, assembled at Manchester, Aug. 14, 1815, JABEZ BUNTING, Secretary.

The following Address, voted by the Conference, held in Bristol, 1814, was sent on September 7th, with a Letter from the President, to the Right Honourable Lord Viscount Sid- mouth, Principal Secretary of State for the Home Department, requesting that his Lordship would have the goodness to present the Address to the Regent. With this request his Lordship com- plied in the most obliging and prompt manner, as the following Letter proves, with which his Lordship honoured the President. Sir, Whitehall, 9th September, 1814. I have had the honour to lay before the Prince Regent, the very loyal and dutiful Address of the Ministers of the People called Methodists, belonging to the Religious Societies first established by the Rev. John Wesley, deceased, — transmitted to me with your Letter of the 7th instant. —And I have the satis- faction to acquaint you, that His Royal Highness was pleased to receive the same in the most gracious manner. I have the honour to be, Sir, Your most obedient humble Servant, Sidmouth. To the Rev. Dr. Adam Clarke, Harpur Street.

The next day, Saturday, September 10, the Address, as below, was printed, the first article in the Gazette.

The Address of the Methodist Conference to the Prince Resent. To His Royal Highness George, Prince of Wales, Regent of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland. The humble Address of the Ministers of the People called Methodists, belonging to the Religious Societies, first established by the Rev. John Wesley, deceased. May it please your Royal Highness, WE, His Majesty's most dutiful and loyal subjects, the Mi- nisters of the People called Methodists, belonging to the Religious Societies first established by the Rev. John Wesley, deceased, beg leave most humbly to approach your Royal Highness, and to offer to you our heartfelt congratulations on the happy termi- nation of the late sanguinary and protracted war, and on the restoration of peace, among the various nations which compose the great European family. ;

( 136 ) [1815.

In the astonishing events which have led to these auspicious results, we devoutly recognise the special agency of that Almighty Being, who doeth according to his will, in the army of heaven,

and among the inhabitants of the earth : all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment, and who in the recent dispen- sations of His Providence, has made it signally manifest, that those who walk in pride He is able to abase. We gladly avail ourselves of this opportunity to assure your Royal Highness, that both we and the numerous societies whom we represent, are firmly and unalterably attached to the excellent

Constitution of our Country ; and that in sentiments of most loyal and affectionate respect for the Person, the Family, and the Government of our venerable Sovereign, we are not behind any other class of his Majesty's subjects. His long affliction we have sincerely lamented; and for his present and eternal welfare we incessantly pray. For your Royal Highness also, we offer up to God our continual supplications, that his best blessings may

rest on yourself and on your Regency ; that you may be his

minister for good to this nation and to mankind ; and that after having long lived at the head of a free, faithful, and prosperous people, you may finally receive a crown of righteousness, which fadeth not away.

With our prayers, we shall not fail to continue, as we have ever done, our strenuous exhortations to the people of our charge that they inay be taught, both by our precepts and example, while they fear God, to honour the King, and to adorn our holy religion by an uniformly peaceable demeanour, and by a cheerful subjection to lawful authority. ]n these principles of Christian loyalty, we were, as a religious body, carefully instructed by the Founder of our Societies—they are embodied in our standing rules of discipline, and we are con- firmed in our adherence to them, by our thankful recollection of the privileges which we enjoy. Those privileges we consider as greatly enlarged and secured, by a recent statute, entitled, " An Act to repeal certain Acts, and amend other Acts, relating to religious worship and assemblies, and personsteachingorpreachingtherein." For this extension and establishment of religious liberty, we are solicitious to express our warmest gratitude to your Royal High- nets, under whose councils the measure was introduced into Par- liament, and unanimously passed into a law. And while we are thus acknowledging our own obligations, we cannot omit to advert, with similar feelings of Respectful and grateful satisfaction, to the legal facilities which are now afforded to pious persons of all denominations, for the peaceable diffusion of the manifold blessings of Christianity, in those populous countries which compose the British Empire in India. We cannot, however, conceal from your Royal Highness, that 1815.] ( 137 )

amidst the many occasions of congratulation and thankfulness which late events have produced, there is one subject, which, as men, as Christians, and as Ministers of the Gospel of Peace, we can contemplate with no other emotions than those of the deepest regret. We refer to that article of the treatv with France, from which it appears, that the influence of your Royal Highness has not obtained, as yet, the consent of the French Government, to abandon their purpose of reviving the Slave Trade. The renewal of that detestable traffic, under any modifications, or for any period, however limited, we most earnestly deprecate as a calamity of incalculable magnitude. The miseries in which it will involve thousands of our unoffending fellow- creatures, we

regard as constituting but a part of the mischief with which it is

pregnant ; it will operate most injuriously, if not fatally, on those benevolent plans which have been formed, and partially executed, for civilizing and Christianizing the inhabitants of the African Continent. In some of those plans, the religious community to which we belong are peculiarly interested, having for some years estab- lished schools on the western coast of Africa, for the education of negro children, with encouraging appearances of ultimate success. On this ground, therefore, as well as on general prin-

ciples of humanity, justice, and religion ; and because we wish to see our own country at least fully rescued from the guilt of inno- cent blood, by the exertion of its utmost influence on this question, we are anxious that the question should undergo such further discussion, in the approaching Congress at Vienna, as may lead, we humbly trust, to that great consummation, the immediate, the universal, the unqualified abolition of the Slave Trade. Impressed with these feelings, we have read with no common satisfaction, the answer of your Royal Highness to the unanimous addresses of the two Plouses of Parliament on ihis smbjcct, in which you were graciously pleased to intimate, that your unre- mitting exertions will be used to give effect to their wishes for the abolition of this trade. Accept, Sir, of our most hearty thanks for this declaration, worthy of a British Prince. And may Almighty God crown your renewed exertions in a cause so holy, with complete success ! May it be your high honour, and that of the nation over which' you rule, to be recorded in the page of history, as the principal instrumeuts employed by Divine Providence, first in restoring liberty and peace to Europe, and then in terminating for tver, the wrongs and the desolations of Ai.'ica. Signed, by order and in behalf of the Methodic Ministers, assembled at their seventy- first Annual Conference, Adam Clarke, President. Bristol, Aug. 10, 18 14-. 13 43

What Preachers have died this year ? 1. William Ault. He was a young man of an excellent spirit, amiable manners, ardent piety, and burning zeal to pro- mote the glory of God. From early life, he was instructed in the doctrines and precepts of our holy religion ; and such was his disposition and attention to Divine things, that, when only seven years of age, he had read the whole of the Old and New Testament seven times. After his conversion, God was pleased to separate him to the work of the ministry; and he went forth, preaching with success the gospel of ids grace. During some years, he had u strong conviction that he was called to visit heathen lands, especially the dark regions of India. Breathing the spirit of his Divine Redeemer, he oIK red himself to the

Missionary work in Ceylon ,- and the Conference, judging that the Great Head of the Church had endowed him with distinguished talents, and suitable qualifications for that important Mission, accepted his offer. On his voyage to India, the pious and ex- ;

1816.] ( 193 )

Cellent wife of his youth was removed by (he band of death ; to which providential bereavement he was assisted to bow with Christian submission, and proceeded to the scene of his active exertions. Before he reached Bombay, he and his colleagues were deprived of their venerable leader, Dr. Coke; but, on their arrival there, were received by gentlemen, whose kind and sea- sonable aid gave considerable facilities to their subsequent ope- rations. Brother Auit entered on his work in the vigorous exer- cise of faith and love, and his arduous and incessant labours were crowned with success. Thus was he proceeding, when his labours were interrupted by an affliction, which soon put a period to his useful life. His end was that of the perfect man and faithful minister. His removal is sincerely lamented by all who knew him; and several affectionate tributes of respect have been pub- licity paid to his memory, by the highest authorities of that country; 2. Benjamin Rhodes. This venerable and excellent man was brought to the knowledge of God, and of his truth at an early period of life. When he was yet a child, the Father of Lights revealed his Son in the heart of his servant, and made him happy in his love. Having received a divine call to the work of the ministry, ho willingly devoted all his talents to the duties of his holy calling ; and it pleased the Great Head of the Church, not only to qualify him for these duties, but to bless him with many seals to his ministry. For about half a century he was engaged in calling sinners to repentance; during which time he always enjoyed the confidence of his brethren, and was highly respected as a faithful and labo- rious servant of the Lord. During the last years of his life, he resided with his family at Margate, where he was always found ready for any part of his Master's work of which he was capable. Mr. Rhodes was a man of great simplicity and integrity of mind ; he was warmly and invariably attached to the whole eco- nomy of Methodism. His life was a practical explication of his faith; and his character, both in the church and in the world, was creditable to himself, and honourable to religion. 3. Richard Rodda, a man of sound judgment, of strict morals, of considerable talents, and abundant in the work of the ministry. He sought the Lord when about thirteen years of age, followed him fully, and was rendered a blessing to many souls not only in his public labours as a preacher of the gospel but bv his judicious counsels, his Christian sympathy, and his tender concern for those societies he was called to watch over. Thirty- three years he endured the toils of an itinerant life; and when he could no longer bear them, he laboured in London in proportion to his strength, from Jt02 till his death, October 30, 1S05. J] - VOL. IV. N 1816.] ( 194 ) prayer in his last illness, that the struggle might he short,,'was gra- ciously answered ; and, what was of infinitely greater value, he had great peace and joy in the God of his salvation. 4. George Shadfohd. He died at Frome on the 11th of March, 1816, in the 7Sth year of his age. In 1768 he com- menced his itinerant labours. Early in the spring of 1773, he set sail for America as a Missionary, where he staid about four years, and then returned to England ; where he continued to labour, till, by age and infirmities, he was forced to become a supernumerary in 1791. When retired from public service in the church, he evinced the same unabated love to the souls of men, and desire for the prosperity of vital godliness, which he had exemplified in the vigour of his health. He outlived neither his piety nor his usefulness. His beneficence to the poor was limited only by his pecuniary income. For fifty-four years he had en- joyed a sense of the divine favour ; and had long lived in the possession of that love which excludes all slavish fear. A little before his death, he was asked, whether all was clear before him; to which he replied, with great feeling, *' I bless God, it is:" and added, "Victory, victory, through the blood of the Lamb!" As a token of respect to his brethren, he has left a hundred pounds to the Preachers' Fund, to be paid at the death of his widow. 5. John Crosby, a native of Whitby, in Yorkshire. He 'was brought to a saving knowledge of God when about the age of twenty-one years, by the ministry of an evangelical clergyman, at Pickering. In the year 1783 he began his itinerant labours, and travelled twenty-eight years with an unblamable and pious character. His preaching was close, practical, experimental, and to the use of edifying. Integrity, meekness, and pure hu- mility, adorned his conduct through the whole of his Christian warfare. Four years and a half he was a Supernumerary; during which time he was called to suffer many and severe afflic- tions, which he bore with uninterrupted patience and resignation to the will of God. In the affliction which closed his earthly career, his spiritual joys often abounded. Some of his last words were, " I am very happy, and am only sorry I have ndt strength to tell you what I feel; but I have now got all I ever wished for, — victory, victory, at the last V He died at Bolton, on the 29th of March, 1816, in the 62d year of his age. 6. John Bakber. He was born in the neighbourhood of Hayfield, in Derbyshire. When about twenty-two years of age, he was soundly converted to God; and from the time of hi^ conversion, became a truly decided character. Soon after he had received the mercy of God, he was called to publish it to others ; and having acted for some time as a Local Preacher, was admitted on the itinerant plan, and laboured as a Tw- 1816.] ( lb$ )

veiling Preacher for thirty- five years. The esteem in which Mr. Barber was held hy'his brethren in the ministry, is nnv-d by their making choice of him twice as the President of their Con- ference. He was the first President who died during the year of his Presidency. As a marij a Christian, and a Christian Minister, peculiar comprehension of mind, and inflexible firmness of character, distinguished every part of his conduct. Next to his concern for personal salvation, his regard for the work of God in gene- ral, and especially for that part of it which is carrying on among {he Methodists, was constantly evinced. For this he laboured, and for this he lived. He was a man of prayer. His preaching was blessed to thousands in various parts of Great Britain, par- ticularly on the subject of Christian holiness. Strong attach- ment to every part of discipline in the Methodist Societies, ren- dered him greatly useful in many places ; and while he breathed Christian kindness to all who love the Lord Jesus Christ in sin- cerity, his whole religious and ministerial life was employed in serving his generation among the people with whom Gud had called him. As a Christian friend and fellow-labourer, the memory of John Barber is dear to many, who have experi- enced in him the sympathy of a brother, and the tenderness of a father. The last year of his life was peculiarly comfortable and useful ; his death was sudden, but peaceful and happy. He entered into reM on Sunday, April 28, 1816, in the 59th year of his age. 7. Duncan Kay. He was a native of Scotland. In early- life he was brought to the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; and became a Local Preacher, and continued \o act in that capacity about thirty-eight years. Having been strongly recommended to Mr. Wesley in the year 1786, he was appointed as a Travelling Preacher, and laboured in the various duties of that office fourteen years. During the last twelve years of his life, he was never able to go out of his house, but gra- dually sunk to the grave. On Friday, May 10, he was taken to his eternal joy, in the 88th year of his age. He was plain, upright, and pious, and an acceptable and useful Preacher. 8. George Gibbon. He was born at Stockton-ou-Tees, in the county of Durham, April 2, 1744. He was converted to God when he was twenty years of age. In a short time he was persuaded that it was his duty to call sinners to repentance, and acted as a Local Preacher till the year 1 780, when he was called out to travel. Since 1813, when he retired from his itinerant labours, he preached occasionally, as his health and opportuni- ties would permit. During his last iiinos, his mind was serene and comfortable, and although he did not express any very ec- static raptures, he could sav, N2 .

( 196 ) [1816. »* Not a cloud doth arise, to darken the skies, Or hide for a moment my God from my eyes." 9. Samuel Bradburn. He was born in the Bay of Gibraltar, and on the return of his parents to Great Britain, settled in Chester. When he was young, it pleased the Lord to convince him of the necessity of a change of heart, and of redemption through the blood of the everlasting covenant. Having joined the Methodist Society, and his heart glowing with love to God, and with strong desire for the salvation of immortal souls, he was soon called to preach the gospel of our

Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ ; first as a Local Preacher in the year 1773, and then as an Itinerant in 1774. His Divine Master having endowed him with extraordinary gifts for the work of the ministry, he soon became remarkably popular, and it was frequently with pleasure that thousands listened to his discourses. His ministry was owned of God for the salvation of many, and, for several years, he was considered not only as one of the first preachers in the land, for all the higher powers of persua- sive eloquence, but as a faithful labourer in the vineyard of the Lord. For a few of the last years of his life his strength and memory gradually failed him, but it was gratifying to his friends to ob- serve, that as he drew near to the eternal world, he became more spiritually minded and more truly and deeply serious. His peculiar vivacity of mind, which had frequently been a source of temptation to him, was brought more fully under the controul of Divine grace. In the last letter which he ever wrote, he remarked, that though he was unable to preach, he found that the Lord Jesus Christ was his all. For several months before his death, he was not able to preach at all; and on Wednesday, July 24, was seized with a fit, which nearly deprived him of the power of speech. He was conveyed to bed, where he lay, without being able to converse with his weeping family, till the Friday morning, when his soul entered, we trust, the paradise of God. 10. ( Ireland.) Thomas Edwards. He travelled twenty years in our Connexion. He was a man of great plainness and sim- plicity, of humility and zeal, of integrity and punctuality. He lived according to the Gospel which he preached, and died in the full assurance of that faith which he had Jong experienced.

Some of his last words were, " I have fought a good fLdit. I have finished my course, I have kept the faith ; — I am saved by grace."

Q.. 5. Are there any objections to any of our Brethren A. Tney were examined one by one. 1816.] ( 197 )

Q. 6. Who have desisted from travelling? A. 1. Samuel Blackburn, Edmund Shaw, and Edward Ro- berts. 2. John Bedford, Thomas Chamberlain, William Jones, (of Wales,) and Griffith Owen, have voluntarily retired from our work. Q. 7. How are our Preachers stationed this year? A. As follows: viz.

But shall be left at liberty, at their several District- Meetings, to apply the produce of such sales, if they deem it expedient, to the payment of their Ordinary Deficiencies as Missionaries, so far as it will go; and shall pay the Book- Steward what they owe to him by sending him an Order on the Missionary Treasurer ii; London, to the amount of those Ordinary Deficiencies which when they have received out of the Book- Money : Provided that such Orders are sent, the Chairman of the District shall always transmit, at the same time, to the Treasurers for the Missions, an exact account (in detail) of the purposes to which those monies are applied, for the re-payment of which the said Orders are given. 2. That no monies whatsoever shall be paid to the Missionaries in the West-Indies, either from the produce of book-sales, or from any other source, for any other purposes than those which are ordinary and regular, until the approbation of the Com- mittee at home has been first asked and obtained. All proposals for extraordinary allowances, whether for afflictions, or any other similar purposes, shall be entered upon the District-Minutes, but not acted upon until sanctioned by the Committee. The only exception allowed from the operation of this Rule, shall be the annual payment of such sum as may be immediately wanted for the use of the vessel employed in bringing the Missionaries from the several Islands to the District- Meeting, and in conveyino- them to their new appointments. 3. That all monies, intended for the Mission Fund, shall be remitted in a distinct and separate manner, unmixed with Monies belonging to any other Fund ; and that our Friends be requested to address such remittances to the General Treasurers for the

Missions, and not to any other person ; in order to prevent mis- takes and delays. 4. That the additional Printing-Press and Types, requested by the Missionaries at Columbo, shall be immediately sent to that Station. Q. 21. Are any regulations necessary respecting our Schools at Kingswood and Woodhousc-Grove ? A. 1. Let it be understood, that the most suitable time for boys to enter at either School, is the last week in the month of

May ; that is, immediately after the annual vacation. 2. The preference, in selecting Boys to fill up vacancies in the Schools, shall always be given according to the seniority of the Fathers of those Boys, who are candidates for admission, in our itinerant work ; except when a Parent, though senior, has one Boy already in either School. 3. Let the Rule which enacts, that no Boy shall be admitted ( 232 ) [1816. to cither of the Schools, until his Father shall have subscribed Five Guineas at least towards the purchase of Woodhouse-Grove, be uniformly and constantly enforced. 4. A regular Annual Report of the Schools, with a List of the Subscribers, and of Public Collections, and an account of the Expenditure, shall be published in a separate form; and a Copy given to each Subscriber of Ten Shillings anc] upwafds. The Account printed in the Appendix to our Minutes shall theffe- fore include, in future, only the Public Collections, and the total amount of Private Subscriptions in each Circuit, together with an Account of the Expenditure.

from the selling price. / 3. Every Superintendant shall transmit annually to the Book- Steward, in detail, the account of Stock on hand in. his Circuit. 4. The Book-Committee are authorised to undertake a new monthly Publication, to be called The Youth's Instructer and, Guardian. Q. 23. Flow may we provide against the difficulties and incon- veniencies resulting from the death of any President of- the Conference, who may die during the vear of his Presidency? A. In every such rase, the last surviving President shall imme-

diately enter again into the office so vacated ; and shall be con- sidered, for the remainder of that year, and until the election of- a successor at the ensuing Conference, as having all the powers, privileges, and authorities of the Presidency, and responsible for all its duties. Q. 24. How can we best discharge the present large Debt of the Connexion, including the Monies borrowed and and left un- paid at the close of the last Conference, and also the Deficiency of the present year ? A. As we are exceedingly reluctant, in these times of general pressure and distress, to make any new or special application tp our People for this purpose, we agree, that we will take upon ourselves, as a Body of Travelling Preachers, the whole Debt; and have made such arrangements among ourselves, as will en* 1816.] ( 233 ) able us, we trust, to accomplish in one year the entire extinction of it, by voluntary sacrifices and exertions. Till these arrange- ments can be carried into effect, the sum wanted shall be bor- rowed on Interest, in order that the regular claims on the Con- tingent Fund may be immediately discharged. N. B. 1. The four General Congregational Collections are to be made as usual, during the ensuing year, and as nearly as pos- sible at the regular times specified in page 128 of the Minutes of

1815 ; namely, The Collection for our Public Schools, and for the Education of the Preachers' Children, should be made in October-, —theCollection allowed for Distressed Chapels, according to the Lists inserted at page 22:1, &c. of these Minutes, should be made in January or February ; —the Missionary Collection (ex- cept in places where such a Collection is made at Annual Mis- sionary Meetings,) should be made in May, and sent to the General Treasurers for the Missions, in time to be included in their Annual Account, which will close on the 24th of June, 1817:—and the Public Collection in aid of the Contingent Fund, for the Support and Spread of the Gospel at Home, should be made in the beginning of July, that the amount of what is raised in each Circuit may be certified to the Representatives of the several Districts, and by them communicated to the Clerks, in the week preceding the Meeting of the next Conference. 2. The three General Private Subscriptions are also to be made as usual in every circuit. Minutes of 128. 3 See 1815, p.

The Conference recommend to our Congregations, on the Lord's Day Forenoon, the use of the Psalms and Hymns, first collected by Mr. Wesley, enlarged by Dr. Coke, and now used in some of our Chapels in London. 2. .The Minute, made last year, which declares, that " the relief to be occasionally granted to Preachers in cases of Afflic- tion, is only to be allowed out of the Auxiliary Fund, in such instances of peculiar affliction as cannot be relieved in the ordi- nary way, by the exertions of those Circuits on which such Preachers labour,"—shall be annually reprinted, with the other Rules re- specting the Distribution of the Auxiliary Fund, in the Report of that Fund. 3. Resolved, That the Conference approve of the conduct of their Book-Committee in London, in having refused to facilitate the circulation of a Book on Ecclesiastical Claims, which was printed in Scotland, and published by a Member of our Con- nexion ; and deem it a public duty to declare, in the fear of 234.

it, which the Conference believe to be unbecoming and un- christian. 4. Resolved, That two Sets of the Works of Mr. Wesley, and of Mr. Fletcher, with Copies of our Large Hymn Book, and of Mr. Benson's Apology for the Methodists, shall be pre- sented, in the name of the Conference, to the Rev.

The Address of the Irish Conference to the British Conference.

Beloved Fathers and Brethren, With heartfelt satisfaction we embrace the occasion presented by the lapse of another year, to renew our mutual interchange of cordial regard, and strengthen the hands of brotherly affec- tion. We rejoice that our union with you is in Him who is the centre of spirits, and the head of all his mystical members; in whom we are one in interest and affection, and from whom we derive light, strength, and consolation. On the sudden death of our respected brother, Mr. Barber, who was appointed to be our President, we participated with you in feelings of deep regret. The loss of such an excellent minister of Christ, and the solemn lesson, so forcibly taught, that we are momentarily liable to be called to our final account, produced in our minds, we trust, their proper effect. Besides, we entertained fears lest we should be deprived of a President from England ; but these fcaiv were soon dissipated, when we learned that the late President had appointed Dr. Clarke, whom we cordially love, to preside among us; and that the kind and prompt exertions of some of your respected body induced him to come. We entertain such a grateful sense of the lively interest which these Brethren took in our favour, that by an unanimous vote of Conference we return them our hearty thanks. With deep concern we have to deplore our want of usual suc- cess. This we believe must be principally attributed to the un- easy state of the minds of our people, occasioned by their dif- ferent views respecting the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper being administered by our own Preachers. This ques- tion has occupied the minds of our people, and of numbers that attend on our ministry. They have debated the matter at lar^e, and sometimes with too much warmth ; feelings unfavourable to

religion have been excited ; the minds of many have been dis- tracted with controversy; and we fear the Spirit of God has been grieved. Mean time, we have to sustain considerable pecuniary embarrassment. From the united influence of these two powerful causes, we should probably yield to depression, did we not call to recollec- tion the far greater difficulties through which the primitive

Apostles of Christ urged their way ; the privations sustained, and hindrances overcome, by our immediate forerunners in this " glorious work ; and, above all, that cheering promise, Lo I am with you alway, even to the- end of the world." Strengthened ( 2'3(i ) [iS 16, thus, we " thank God and take courage :" saying each, with humble confidence, *' Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory." To allay the fever throughout the Connexion in Ireland, and as far as possible to meet the views of all united with us, we have grunted the sacred ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper

"to oiu people ; but accompanied with such limitations and re- strictions, as we trust will satisfy all reasonable men. Thus have ve endeavoured to direct our bark through this narrow, this dangerous strait; alarmed, us well we might be, for its safety, but for this consoling reflection, that Jesus sits at the helm. Besides, we indulge the hope of future success from the union of all our Brethren in the ministry : we are all of one heart and of one sou! ; and that which threatened to divide us, has, through the providence of him, who ruleth all events to his glory, contri- buted to cement us more closely together. Again we believe it will be our duty to testify our gratitude for the presidency of onr beloved Brother, Dr. Clarke, from v.-hose information and interest in our welfare, we have derived ranch advantage, and to whom we are deeply indebted. We find our Brethren on your side of the water so solicitous to send us a suitable President, that we shall not dictate to you respecting the present appointment ; but assure you, that whom- soever you shall think proper to send, we will cheerfully and cordially receive. We send to you, as our Representative, our Brother Mayne, who has proved himself faithful, and who will, we believe, render himself acceptable to you, by informing you of all things which concern our affairs. While we rejoice in the success of Missionary exertions abroad, it is still farther ground of gratitude, that our Missionaries have been blest in their labours at home. In the course of last year, new ground has been broken up, the word of God widely distri- buted, many sinners awakened, several blest with a sense of the Divine favour, and some who were the ripe fruit of the Mission, have escaped away to the mansions of light. Thus encouraged, we have increased the number of Irish Missionaries, and look up with humble confidence, that God will bless their labours still more abundantly.

In a sense, indeed, we are all Missionaries ; and our prayer h, that we may possess more of the true Missionary spirit, and that the kingdom of Christ may spread, till the whole earth is fdled with his glory. Signed on behalf of the Conference, S. WOOD, Secretary. Dlj;lin, July 17, 1816. 1816.] ( 237 )

The Answer of the British Conference to the Addrf.-'ss from the Irish Conference.

Dearly beloved Brethren, Having heard much of the peculiar circumstances of the Irish Methodists at the present important crisis, we have waited with considerable anxiety for your annual Address; #ie reading of which has revived in our bosoms sentiments of sympathy and brotherly affection. The disturbed state of onr Societies under your care, on the subject of the administration of the Ordinances of Baptism and the Lord's Supper by our own Preachers, has, no doubt, greatly perplexed your minds. Concerned for the best interests of all your people, whether they desire to receive the Sacraments from the hands of their own Preachers or not, we are persuaded you have adopted that plan, which has appeared to you, upon the whole, best calculated, eventually, to restore and establish peace. We cannot, therefore, disapprove of the steps which you have taken in granting the requests of those Societies which desire to have the privileges of the Ordinances among themselves. And we perceive the propriety of such grants, especially as many of the members of the Societies were educated amongst the Presby- terians, and had no opportunity of receiving the Lord's Supper, in many places, except from the hands of those who deny the atonement of our Saviour. We hope that those of our dear Brethren, who entertain other views on this subject, will kindly allow their Brethren who differ from them, to be thus gratified, especially as they think they can claim it as a Divine right. From experience we can say, that mutual forbearance on the matter in dispute, and that alone, can preserve in Christian unity a body of people, who have been so variously educated. We have reason to bless God, that on this subject disputes have long rincc ceased in England. We have nothing now to occupy our mind.?, but the promotion of primitive Christianity, by inculcating evangelical doctrine, by the exercise of godly discipline, and by insisting on the necessity of sound Christian faith, and holy living; and we are happy to say, that pure and undcfiled religion never flourished more, both among the Preachers and the people, than since we had these Ordinances amonj; ourselves. To God be all the glory ! These things, we are informed, were distinctly stated to you by our respected Brother, Dr. Adam Clarke. Your complaint of want of success in your ministerial labours, in the past year, must be painful to your minds, and we have heard it with regret: however, your work is with the Lord, and your reward with your God. You need not be discouraged, for he who is your Employer, is also yout Helper ; and we trust, ( 238 } [1816, that ivith it*, you will be at once stimulated to redouble your efforts, and encouraged to believe, that your success in the en- suing year will be more abundant. Remember, you are God's servants, and preach His truth. We rejoice to hear that your Missionaries have been favoured with success: and earnestly pray that those of your countrymen •who are immersed in ignorance, superstition, and sin, may be called out of darkness into marvellous light.

It is with the warmest gratitude to our common Lord, that we inform you, that in our extensive connexion in England, we enjoy perfect peace, and general prosperity: in almost every place where our Brethren have laboured, the " savour of the knowledge of Christ" is spread abroad; and the hope of more extensive usefulness in future is fully warranted by present ap- pearances. On the extraordinary "success of our Foreign Missions, we need not say any thing, as the fame of it is spread abroad ; and every succeeding account from our Brethren affords us further matter of joy in the Lord. Death has been permitted, during this year, to remove from us several of our much esteemed and aged Brethren ; amongst whom is our respected late President, Mr. John Barber. The number, indeed, has not exceeded what might have been ex- pected according to the course of nature; but there is one cir- cumstance, which ought not to be overlooked : their departure, though preceded by various infirmities, was in several cases, sud- den and unexpected. We regard these strokes as admonitory to us, and as loudly calling upon us to be watchful, faithful, and diligent, that whenever the Lord may coll us, we may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless. We ought not to conceal from you, that our Societies, which are most numerous in the populous manufacturing districts, feel, in common with others, the pressure of the times; which circum- stance has rendered it inconvenient to our people to increase their contributions towards the general expenditure of the Connexion according to their wishes. In consequence of this, we have cheerfully agreed to forego some of our usual claims, and to make such other pecuninry sacrifices and exertions among our- selves, as will for the present relieve our Connexion from its embarrassments. We are informed that you have made similar sacrifices ; and perhaps in worse circumstances. Brother Charles Mayne has been cordially received by us, as a brother in Christ, and as your Representative, the duties ot which office he has discharged with fidelity and diligence. We have appointed our beloved Brother, and respected Pre- 1816.] ( 239 ) sident, Mr. Reece, to hold your next Conference, knowing that he is every way qualified to advise and assist you in all your affairs. And now, dearly beloved Brethren, let us " Give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the Word." Be not discouraged : remember the dying words of our venerable Founder, " The best of all is, God is with us." May the Great Head of his Church ever " be the glory in the midst of ms, and a wall of fire around us." Signed on behalf of the Conference, assembled in London, August 14s 1816, JABEZ BUNTING, Secretary, « 1 3

Eleven of these are appointed for Foreign Missions. Q. 4. What Preachers have died since the last Conference? A. 1. In Great Britain the five following, viz. (1.) Thomas Taylor, who was brought to the knowledge of the truth as it is in Jesus, in early life. He commenced his itinerant career in the ye'ar 1761 ; and was a most laborious, faithful, and eminently successful Minister of Christ, for the long space of 56 years. In the early part of his public life, when Methodism was but in its infancy, he had, together with his cotemporaries and fellow-labourers in that great work, to endure much from hunger, cold, wearin ^s, and persecution but he met and surmounted these difficulties with a truly apos-

tolical intrepidity ; and, under circumstances which would have overwhelmed a mind of ordinary energies, he pursued, with in- defatigable assiduity, a course of study and labour of uncommon magnitude. Though for many of the first years of his ministry he had to take long and frequent journeys, and to preach a great number of sermons, yet, by habits of early rising, and a dili- gent improvement of his whole time, he acquired a respectable share of useful literature. To this, however, he conscientiously avoided giving a prominency in his preaching, and made it strictly subordinate and subservient to the doctrines of the Gospel. His discourses, which were always short, were chiefly of a practical and experimental character ; and. to the last, he was very fervent and impressive in the pulpit. He was a lover of Christian discipline, as established amongst the Methodists : T 2 ( 292 ) [1817.

and was zealous and firm in its enforcement. As a Pastor, he evinced the most commendable diligence, visiting, where it was at all practicable, every part of the flock of Christ under his

care ; for which purpose he generally set apart two hours in the

day : and this practice he continued to the last week of his life. In his family, he set the Lord always before him, studying how

he might best promote the salvation of his household ; and, in the worship of the family, he was most regular, and delightfully solemn. In the private circle of his friends he was cheerful and improving, knowing well how to combine rational instruction tvith spiritual edification. His natural temper was independent and irritable; but these imperfections were so habitually under the subduing influence of Divine grace, as to be rarely percep-

tible even to his most intimate friends ; and, in the decline of life, he imbibed a heavenly sweetness of spirit which was seldom interrupted. In short, the gogd degree of learning which he attained, his extensive labours, his unceasing activity in the best of causes, the almost unparalleled length of his course of efficient ministerial duties, and, above all, his close and constant walk with God, and universal devotedness to his glory, placed him

in the highest class of the servants of God on earth ; and, we have no doubt he is now found near the throne of Him, in whose blood he had washed his robes. His death was sudden, and to his friends, unexpected: but, with respect to himself, it was doubtless followed by an abundant entrance into the Kingdom of God. He died at Birch- House, near Bolton, the residence of his friend, Roger Holland, Esq. on the 16th of October, 1816, in the 79th year of his age ; having, only a few hours before his departure, in an animated sermon, set forth the deep things of God. (2.) Alexander Suter, who was brought to God in the prime of life, under the ministry of Mr. Thomas Olivers. The intensity of his zeal attracted the notice of the Rev. John Wes- ley, by whom he was appointed a class-leader, in London. His sphere of usefulness was soon enlarged by successful attempts to preach the Gospel. In 1779 he commenced the itinerant life, and laboured arduously 33 years. Bodily indisposition then compelled him to retire, in a great measure, from his general labours; bnt he still continued occasionally to publish the tidings of salvation, as far as strength of body would permit, for five years more. He closed his earthly career, and entered upon a blissful immortality, March 9th, 1817, in the 63d year of his age. He shunned not to declare the whole counsel of God; and oftfn censured, what he believed to be a growing evil amongst the Methodists, conformity to the world, especially in the fripperies of dress. Through the whole of his lingering 1817.] ( 293 ) illness, he was resigned ; he was happy. When informed of the extreme precariousness of his life, and the probable sudden- ness of his dissolution, he exclaimed—" Blessr the Lord, his will be done !'* And as he approached the confines of the king of terrors, he often said, " It is not a dark valley. There is no darkness at all. No! the Sun of Righteousness hath risen there with healing in his wings." (3.) James Daniel Burton, who was a native of Manchester. His parents taught him, from his infancy, to know, fear, and love God, as the principal end of man. When he was about the age of 16, an awful Providence, of which he was an eye- witness, was sanctified to his effectual awakening. He very soon obtained the peace of God ; and gave unquestionable evidence of a sound and scriptural conversion. In his 21st year he was called out to travel. He cheerfully left, an affluent home, and many fluttering prospects of a worldly nature, to preach, amongst perishing sinners, the unsearchable riches of Christ; and, in a few years, he became an able minister of the Gospel. His affable, uniform, and pious deportment endeared him to all his intimate friends, and caused him to be greatly and generally beloved, in the different circuits in which he laboured. His course was short. In the tenth year of his itinerancy his health failed. For more than two j'ears and a half, he 'was the subject of severe and complicated afflictions, which he bore with exemplary pa- tience. Often, under the most painful sufferings, his expressions of resignation and gratitude to God were such as affected and delighted all who heard them. A few hours before his death, he was if " asked he was happy ? He replied, O yes ! very happy. What now should I do without my Saviour ?" He triumphantly entered into his Master's joy on the 24-th of March, 1817, in the 33d year of age. (4.) John Harris, of the Barnstaple circuit, who was a Christian of sterling piety, and served the Lord with perseverance and fidelity. As a preacher, he was generally acceptable, and always useful. He died in the month of May, in the 37th year of his age, and the 7th of his itinerancy, happy in God.

(5.) William Appleton ; a man of genuine piety, amiable temper, and ardent zeal for the glory of God, and the welfare of immortal souls. He began to travel in the year 1810; and, in the circuits where he laboured, was made a blessing to many persons. On the 1st of last June, Mr. Appleton preached thrice, and administered the Lord's supper to the society at Lutor. The word was attended with Divine unction. The next morn- ing, while travelling in a gig, having lost the reins, he leaped out of the carriage, by which his ancle was dislocated, and his leg dreadfully fractured. During the painful operation of setting T3 ( 294 ) [1817. the bone, and through the whole of the affliction, which ended in his death, he evidenced the utmost resignation to the Divine will, often saying, " My heavenly Father does all things well." In taking leave of his dear wife and children, he encouraged her to look to the Lord for support ; and earnestly prayed, that, if his infant boy should be spared, God would make him a good man, and a missionary. Mr. Appleton mentioned to his Super- intendant that God had been preparing him for this affliction; that he had been as happy for a month back as he could be. The night before his death, after a little sleep, he exclaimed, " Glory be to him that sitteth upon the throne, and to the

Lamb for ever ! Glory be to the Father, for his mercy and

grace manifested to us ! Glory be to God the Son, who hath

redeemed us by his most precious blood ! Glory be to God the

Holy Ghost the Sanctifier ! O, ye angels of light, assist me

is to praise Him ! O what glory—what glory—what glory this !" He continued exceedingly happy till near two o'clock on the following afternoon, June 21, when he entered into the joy of his Lord, in the 38th year of his age. 2. The following Preachers have died while on Foreign Missions, viz. (1.) Jirkmiah Boothby, who died at Roseau, in the island of Dominica, July 14th, 1816. He went as a Missionary to the West Indies in the year 1813; and had laboured with zeal and success in that part of our Lord's vineyard to the time of his last sickness. His health had in general been good from the likely time of his going abroad ; and, to all appearance, he was to have been long spared as an Ambassador for Christ to the

Heathen ; but, by a peculiar and mysterious providence, was early removed from his sphere of usefulness to an eternal home. He preached on the evening of the 4th of July to a large con- into gregation ; when a person of the name of K came the chapel, with a determination to disturb Mr. Boothby- He finished the sermon evidently with some difficulty, being much to hurt at the man's behaviour ; and, after service, stepped up him, and requested that he would go with him into the house, hoping to convince him of the impropriety of his conduct. Ihe riuie reply which he made to Mr. Boothby, drew such a crowd of people round about them, that he had to pass out of the chapel into the open air to enter his house, instead of going the usual way. The servant, who was in the house, was so confused and alarmed, that, for some minutes, she could not open the perspiration, door ; and, as Mr. Boothby was in a high state of and without his hat, he took cold, which immediately affected his lungs, brought on a pleurisy fever, and, in a few days ter- minated in his death. During his affliction, his mind was in a 1817.] ( 295 ) desired blessed state; and, a little time before his death, he Mr" Dakin to inform all his dear friends that he blessed God that ever he set his foot on Dominica. of Wales, who was a Mis- (2.) John Lewis, jun. a native sionary on the island of Antigua, and died July 17, 1816. His been a little unwell, death was rather sudden : for, though he had before he was not at all suspected to be in any immediate danger the day on which he died. But though his call was sudden, and he was in the bloom of life, he was not found unprepared. His soul was happy in his God, and Jesus was his support and refuge in his short, but painful affliction. He was a young man of eminent piety, and of very promising talents and usefulness; and, after labouring only two years as a Missionary, was taken to his eternal rest. (3.) John Bukgar, a native of London. He was strongly attached to our doctrines and discipline. Being anxious to pro- mote the welfare of his fellow-creatures, he left his native country to preach the Gospel of the Grace of God to the poor Heathen. The Lord blessed his labours in the island of Jamaica, especially at Morant Bay, where he joined above 200 members to the so- ciety in about nine months. The Gentlemen of that place were so far pleased and satisfied with his conduct during that period, that, after his death, they generously voted at their Vestry Meet- ing one hundred pounds sterling to his widow, as a testimony of the high sense which they had of the excellency of his cha- racter and proceedings during the time he had the charge of that congregation. But amidst his prospects of usefulness, notwith- standing the great want of faithful labourers in that island, the Lord saw fit to remove him from the labours and trials of mor- tality, to the joys of paradise, on the 1st of August, 1816, in the 28th year of his age. His remains were attended to the grave by some thousands of mourners, who deeply lamented the loss of their beloved Minister. (4.) William Lill, who went out as a Missionary to the West Indies, in the year 1814; and, on December 28th, 1816, was called from the field of labour to the rest of glory. For some time before his death, he had been unwell ; but not so as to cause him to retire from the work of the Ministry, in which his soul delighted. He continued to labour in ^he island of Grenada to the last Lord's Day before his death. During his affliction, he was truly happy in God; and, in conversation with the Honourable R. Otley, expressed that happiness in strong-

language. He was a man of mild and amiable manners ; and lived and died in the true spirit of a Christian. (5.) John Mann, who was called into the work as a Mis- sionary in the year 1786. He was appointed for Nova Scotii, —

( 296 ) [1817. and continued to labour there and in New Brunswick till through age and infirmity he was under the necessity of retiring. But, for several years before his death, though he could not fill up the place of a regular travelling Preacher, he preached occasionally, and continued united to his brethren ; and his heart was still engaged in the cause of his heavenly Master. On February 27th, 1817, he was called to his eternal home, after having been a Minister of Christ upwards of thirty years.

3. In Ireland, two have died : viz. (1.) John M'Adam, who heard and received the gospel with all readiness of mind, about the 17th year of his age ; and having experienced pardoning mercy, was called to publish it to others. After labouring as a regular itinerant preacher for some years, he was employed as an Irish Missionary; till his arduous exer- tions destroyed his constitution. A rheumatic complaint obliged him to return from his beloved labours, and become a Supernu- merary. His last days were marked with gracious manifestations of Divine love. One who visited him says— " He was filled with such abundance of peace and joy, that he began to praise God, and continued rejoicing and exhorting, with little inter- mission, for nearly forty-eight hours. He believed that the Lord had cleansed him from all sin. Some of his words were " Glory, glory—my mother is in heaven, my sister is in heaven, and I am sure that I shall be there also !" He was an affec- tionate fellow-labourer, and zealous in the discharge of his mi- nisterial duty. (2.) Daniel M'Colm, who travelled a short time in Ireland as a Missionary. By sleeping in damp beds, and by unremittng

* ertions in the ministry, a consumption was induced; and aiccr a painful warfare of temptation, and long and severe suffer- ings, he died rejoicing in the Lord.

The preceding grants of collections for chapels were all recommended in the Minutes of the District-Meetings ; and a*, in genera), they relate exclusively to circuits within the limits of the District, from which they were respectively proposed, the Conference has readilv sanctioned them. — Brother Robert ( 330 ) [1817. Humphreys, also, received permission, on account of the verv distressing uigency of the case, to address a circular letter to every circuit in the kingdom, requesting the donation of One Guinea, (and no more,) from each of them, for a chapel in Wales. —Various other cases of chapels, whi< h need extensive assistance, were duly stated and considered. But on account of the peculiar circumstances of the times, and of the Connexion, the Conference was under the painful necessity of declining to authorize, for the present year, any chapel-collections whatever, except those included in the foregoing list. Q. 13. What is the judgment of the Conference on thegener.tl question respecting the relief of those of our chapels, which need more pecuniary assistance than can be obtained in the cir- cuits to which they locally belong ? A. 1. We are of opinion that it is exceedingly desirable to provide some plan for accomplishing this important object, which shall be less inconvenient to the circuits, and more productive to the Trustees, than the mode of collecting for chapels now prac- tised among us. 2. The thanks of the Conference are respectfully presented to those friends who have transmitted various suggestions and pro- jects, relating to this subject ; and they are assured that it is a business in which the Conference decidedly feels that the preachers and peopV at large have a common interest with the Trustees. 3. The President and Secretary are authorized and directed to invite such a number of Trustees of chapels as they may think proper, to meet a similar number of Preachers, (to be also in- vited by them for that purpose,) at Leeds, on the Saturday im- mediately preceding the next Conference, in order to devise and bring before the Conference, in a clear and well-digested form, some plan of general and efficient relief for such chapels as are deeply involved in debt, and have not local means of meeting their own expenses.

4>. The President and Secretary are also authorized and directed to invite a select number of Preachers and Tru.^tees to meet in London, in the month of April or May, 1818, as a preparatory Committee, for the purpose of examining and arranging all pro- posals or suggestions, relative to a General Chapel Fund, which any of our friends have already furnished, or may deem it proper, before that period, to furnish. This preparatory Committee shall lay the result of theij examination before the subsequent Meeting at Leeds. Q. 14-. What further measure can be adopted to prevent in future the imprudent erection of chapels ? A. 1. As the repeated cautions and entreaties of the Conference have in various instances been disregarded, we now deem it neces- 1817.] ( 331 ) sary to the honour and security of the Connexion, to appoint Five Brethren annually as a Chapel-Commit' ce. To this Com- mittee every proposal for the erection or purchase of any new or additional chapel, with clear and full explanations of the neces- sity alleged, of the expense contemplated, and of the subscriptions, and other local income, likely to be raised, shall be submitted by the Superintendant of the circuit, before he shall give any sanc- tion to such erection or purchase, or allow any step to be taken in the actual execution of the proposal : and no chapel shall be built or purchased without the consent of a majority of this Committee. 2. The Chapel-Committee for the ensuing year are, The Pre- sident, the Secretary, Mr. James Wood, Mr. Entwisle, and Mr. Samuel Taylor.—Applications to this Committee should be sent, post paid, to the President. Q. 15. Who is appointed the President of the next Conference in Ireland ?

One additional for Newfoundland. One additional for Jamaica. N. B. One additional Missionary is also granted to St. Chris- in topher's ; and a new Mission is to be undertaken Tobago. But two of the Brethren who were previously stationed in the West Indies are appointed for these purposes. 2. The Committee are directed, as soon as they conveniently can, to send two Missionaries to Cape Henry, in St. Domingo and also to take proper steps for sending two additional Mis- sionaries to Continental India, one of whom shall join Brother Horner at Bombay, and the other assist the Missionary at Madras. 3. The Committee are further authorized to send two Mis- sionaries to the Mauritius and Madagascar ; —one, if they deem

it expedient, to Cape Town, Cape of Good Hope ; —and three more (additional,) if they find it necessary, to fill up the Vacan- cies which are left in the Stations for Nova Scotia and Canada. 4. Exclusively of the above-mentioned new or additional Mis- sionaries, twelve other Missionaries are this year to be sent out to the West Indies, in order to. supply the places of those who have died, or removed to other Missions, and of those who have returned from fereign Stations, after having completed the usual term of service. Q. 22. What directions shall be given respecting our Mis- sionary Affairs in general? A. 1. When any Preachers, who are already employed in the work at home, offer themselves at their respective District-Meet- ings for foreign service, the Chairman shall immediately transmit an account of such offers to the Committee in London, and shall 2 ( 334 ) [1817-

state distinctly whether the candidates can, or cannot, conve- niently attend at the Conference then next ensuing. In the case of those who can attend the Conference, a Committee shall be then appointed, for the purpose of examining them as to their fitness for our foreign work, and shall report to the Conference the result of their examination. And in case of those who can- not attend the Conference for this purpose, they shall be directed to attend the Committee in London, in order to be examined by them, at such time as they shall appoint, previously to the Meeting of the Conference. 2. The Conference adopts the following Resolutions, unani- mously recommended by the Preachers and other friends who composed this year the Committee of Examination and Finance, and directs that they shall be forthwith carried into effect: viz. (1.) That in every District, where it has not been already done, a District Missionary Society shall be immediately formed, under the direction of the Chairman of the District, and of the Executive Committee in London;—or that, at least, a District- Treasurer for contributions in aid of our Missions shall be ap- pointed in every District, to whom all monies raised for the said Missions by any Branch Missionary Society, within the limits of that District, shall be uniformly paid, so as to be remitted through that medium only to the General Treasurers. (2.) That even in circuits where no Branch Missionary Society has yet been formed, all monies collected among us, in any mode whatsoever, for Missionary purposes, shall be uniformly paid to the Missionary Treasurer for the District, and by him remitted once in every quarter, or oftener, to the General Treasurers. (3.) That all Missionary monies and accounts shall be strictly kept separate, by the Superintendants of the respective circuits at home and abroad, from the monies and accounts of our Book- room, and from all other monies, accounts, and collections what- soever, according to the Minute of the Conference of last year. (4.) That the Missionaries shall be peremptorily prohibited from drawing Bills for Missionary expenses upon any other per-

son than the General Treasurers ; and that, in ordtr to prevent any such irregularities, printed Forms of Bills shall be forwarded the to each Missionary Station ; of which forms, and no others, Missionaries shall be required to make use, when they have oc- casion. (5.) That suitable Premises for a Methodist Missionary House and Office, shall be immediately procured, in some central situ- ation in London, affording sufficient accommodation for the orderly transaction of ail our Missionary business, and for a Depot of proper Articles which are wanted in the Outfit of Mis- Treasurers sionaries ; and that for the further assistance of the 1817.] ( 335 ) appointed, and and Secretaries, a competent Clerk shall be a regular system statedly employed, in order that there may be of book-keeping, in respect to all our Misssonary Receipts and Expenditures. and outline ot the 3. The Conference approves of the object Missionary following Plan of a General Wesleyan-Methodist of Exami- Society, "drawu up at the request of the Committee Executive Committee to nation and Finance ; and directs the make such additional arrangements as may be necessary for per- fecting it, and carrying it into full effect.

Plan of a General Wesleyan-M.ethod.ist Missionary Society. The Methodist Societies and Congregations, with others, friends to Christian Missions in general, and to the Methodist Missions in particular, having in different parts of the kingdom formed themselves into Missionary Societies, for the purpose of aiding the said missions by their donations and subscriptions, and for effectually providing for the collecting of the same ; the Conference, deeply impressed with gratitude to God, for these animating proofs of their Christian zeal aid benevolence, and anxious to give full efficiency and regularity* to a mode of raising supplies for the numerous and important missions carried on under its direction, which, though but recently introduced, promises to render the most essential service to the Mission cause, both by directing the attention of the religious public to the state of the heathen, and by engaging their assistance and prayers, directs as follows : 1. That all the members of Methodist Missionary Societies, for every district or place in which they may be formed, and all subscribers to the Methodist Missions, shall be considered mem- bers of a General Society, to be entitled, " The General Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society." 2. That all Societies which have been, or may be hereafter, formed, in the Districts into which the Methodist Connexion is divided, and bearing the name of those districts respectively, shall be entitled, " Methodist Missionary Auxiliary Societies," for the district in which they have been or may be formed ; and that the Societies formed in the particular Circuits of any district, shall be entitled, " Methodist Missionary Branch Societies," for the circuit, or for the city, town, or village, in which they are established. 3. That a public meeting of this Society shall be held annually in London, in the City Road Chapel, or elsewhere, in or about the month of May. *. That the accounts of the receipts and expenditures of this Society shall be made up yearly by the General Treasurers, ( 336 ) £lSI7. from June 24 to June 24, which, after having been submitted for minute investigation to the Committee of Examination and Finance, in the month of July following, according to the exist- ing rule of the Conference, shall be printed, togelher with the General Report, of the state of the Missions, and of the pro- ceedings of the Executive Committee. 5. That it shall be most earnestly recommended to all the Auxiliary and Branch Societies, in connexion with the General Society, to make up their accounts in like manner, on the 24-th of June in every year, and to transmit them to the General Se- cretaries in London, within the month of July following, and not later, in order to their publication in the General Report. Q. 23. Is any regulation necessary respecting our Schools at Kingswood and Woodhouse-Grove? A. Let it be well understood, that all parents, who send their sons to either school, must pay the whole of their travelling ex- penses thither. Q. 24. What measures shall be adopted with a view to the permanent improvement of our general finances, and in order, especially, to lessen the present disparity between the average income and the average expenditure of the Connexion, as they respect the Contingent Fund ? A. 1. We agree, that in future no Preacher shall receive from that Fund the allowance for a servant, unless he have travelled ten years at least, or unless he have one or more children. When a Preacher, not having travelled ten years, has only one child, he shall be allowed only four pounds annually, towards the expense of a servant ; but if he have more than one child, he may claim the full allowance of eight pounds per annum. 2. No circuit shall receive from the Contingent Fund any sum for its Ordinary Deficiencies, in which the regular allowance for board to each Preacher has been more that fourteen shillings weekly; except, (1.) The private yearly collection, raised in such circuit, shall exceed the amount of its claims for ordinary deficiencies; or except, (2.) The family of the Preacher, towards whose support such deficiencies are asked, shall include more that four children chargeable on the circuit; or except, (3.) Ihe Preacher towards whose support the deficiencies are asked, shall Dis- have travelled more than twenty years ; or except, (4.) The trict Meeting, on examining the case, shall be of opinion that there are peculiar circumstances which should induce them to recommend to the Conference, and the Conference shall conse- quently grant a special exemption from this rule. N. B. Although the Conference have deemed it necessary to adopt the foregoing regulations, in order to prevent a premature increase of allowances for board in those circuits which are not 18170 ( 337 > local resources, able to provide for that increase by their own at the without bringing claims on the Contingent Fund,—they former recom- same time take this opportunity of renewing their any mendation, that the stated allowance for board shall not in week for each case be less than ten shillings and sixpence per married Preacher and his family. Chairman, and 3. The Conference directs and requires the in other members of every District Meeting, to be very exact the examination of all claims on the Contingent Fund for the article of house-rent, and to make every proper and possible reduction in that branch of our general expenditure. 4. The public collection, in aid of the Contingent Fund, for the support and spread of the Gospel at home, (commonly called The July Collection,) shall be made in every congregation on the

second Sunday in July, at the latest ,• and every Superintendant

is required to pay, or cause to be paid, the sum collected in his circuit, to the Treasurer of the Contingent Fund, and to no other person, on the first day of the meeting of every Conference. N. B. The Superintendants are directed to attend exactly to all the directions concerning the four General Congregational Col- lections, which were published at p. 233 of the Minutes of 1816; and also to the directions respecting the Three General Private Subscriptions, which will be found in the Minutes of 1815, p. 128, —The subscriptions and collections for the Schools, &c. to be made in October, are to be sent to Mr. Entwisle, (City Road Chapel, London,) who is appointed the General Treasurer of the School Fund for the ensuing year. 5. Every Superintendant is required earnestly to invite and urge the attendance and assistance of the Circuit Stewards at the District- Meeting, according to our rule, during the time when the financial affairs of the District, to which they belong, are under consideration. And in order to facilitate this object, let it be understood and announced, that the financial business of the District shall in future always commence at ten o'clock in the forenoon of the second day of every District Meeting. Q. 25. Is any advice or recommendation necessary respecting those Sunday Schools which belong to us, or are aided by col- lections in our chapels? A. It is the deliberate judgment of the Conference, that well- conducted Sunday Schools are of the greatest utility and impor- tance, and deserve the zealous support of our Preachers and friends; but that in order to secure and perpetuate the full reli- gious benefit, which such institutions are capable of affording, it is essentially necessary that they should be connected as closely as possible with the Church of Christ ; and that the school- hours should be so arranged as not to interfere, more than is abso- VOL. IV, Y, ( 338 ) [1817. lutely unavoidable, with the punctual attendance, both of teachers and children, on those ordinances of public worship, which are appointed by God. The Conference therefore directs the re-publication of the following Minutes made in 1808, viz. " 1. Let all the Travelling Preachers, where Sunday Schools are established, be members of the Committees of those Schools which belong to us ; and let the Superintendant preside in their Meetings. " 2. As many of the children, as can possibly be accommo- dated with room, ought invariably to attend our public worship, at least once on every Lord's-day." Q. 26. What is our Rule respecting Preachers excluded from our body for immorality ? A. No such Preacher shall at any subsequent period be allowed to be a Local Preacher, Class Leader, or even a Private Member of Society, without the consent of the Conference previously obtained. Q.. 27. When and where shall our next Conference be held? A. In Leeds, on the last Monday in July, 1818. Signed on behalf and by order of the Conference, JOHN GAULTER, President. JABEZ BUNTING, Secretary.

Sheffield, Aug. 9, 1817.

The Address of the Irish to the British Conference.

Beloved Fathers and Brethren, WITH the sincerest affection we present to you our annual address. The recollection of our mutual relation, and of the sacred bonds by which we are united, with a review of the evi- 1617.3 ( S39 > dences you have given of your lively concern for our best interests, has increased in our hearts, towards you, the warmest feelings of grateful love. " Your letter of the 4th of August last, addressed, to the Preachers and Members of our Societies," was indeed most sea- it sonable ; many were encouraged and strengthened by in their determination to continue in one body, notwithstanding the va- rious powerful attempts, made by some persons, to promote dis- union amongst us. With the liveliest joy we have heard of the peace and piosperity of your extensive connexion; and the extra- ordinary success of our Foreign Missions affords additional matter of Christian exultation. These gracious evidences of the pre- sence and blessing of the " Great Head of the Church," lead us to look forward, with earnest expectation, for the final overthrow of " the power of darkness," " when the kingdoms of this world shall become the kingdoms of our God and of his Christ." But, dear Fathers and Brethren, we must not conceal from you, the distressing state of our Connexion in Ireland. We hoped that our Pacific Plan, respecting the administration of the ordinances, by the Preachers, to those of our Societies who claimed them from us, would have generally succeeded in meeting the religious views of our people, and in removing the uneasiness which prevailed in many of their minds. But certain persons, influenced by motives best known to themselves, have misrepre- sented our designs, have unhappily succeeded in rending our Connexion, and have attempted to organize a system of itinerancy in opposition to ours. On this account, together with the extra- ordinary pressure of the times, our pecuniary embarrassments have been greatly increased, and difficulties of the most serious kind present themselves to our view. And here we beg to present our most cordial and thankful acknowledgments to many of our sympathizing friends in England, both Preachers and People, for the instances of their liberality which have been so seasonably bestowed upon us. We cannot but view it as " fruit which shall abound to their account," "a sacrifice of a sweet-smelling savour, acceptable to God through Christ Jesus our Lord." In this time of painful exercise, we are led to examine our hearts in the presence of the Lord ; and we assure you, dear Fathers and Brethren, that though humbled in the dust on ac- count of our imperfections and infirmities, yet we feel no con- sciousness of having in anywise departed from the doctrine and discipline of the Gospel ; and never was Methodism, in its prin- ciples and practice, more dear to us than at the present time. We rejoice, that, in the midst of our sufferings, our gracious Lord has not left us without manifest tokens of his favour. The labours of our Irish Missionaries have been, during the ( 3*0 ) [1817.

last year, much owned of God in the conversion of sinners. On the Derry and Antrim Missions, especially, the Lord has

truly made bare his arm ; several hundreds have been brought

to the knowledge of the truth ; and a general reformation has been effected in that part of the country. For further informa- tion upon this subject, we refer you, with great pleasure, to the third and last Report of the Hibernian Methodist Missionary Society, with the Appendix. We consider it also matter of unfeigned gratitude to God, that there never did exist amongst us greater unity of affection, a more lively sense of the Divine presence, a more cheerful readiness of mind to make every necessary sacrifice, or a more fixed determination to stand or fall together in our Master's work, than have been manifested at the present Conference. Circumstanced as we now are, these things appear to us addi- tional evidences of the good Providence of God in our behalf. The appointment of our highly respected brother, Mr. Reece, to be our President, and the faithfulness with which he has discharged the duties of that office, have given us the greatest satisfaction. To the wise and affectionate counsel of our beloved brother Mr. Moore, also, we are much indebted, in our present most trying situation. At the same time, we cannot but regret, that we were not favoured with the presence and co-operation of our dear brethren, Messrs. Benson and Bunting, whom you were pleased to appoint as our further assistants in this important crisis of our affairs. Our beloved brother Tobias has been chosen our repre- sentative to your body. As he is deeply interested in the pros- perity of our Connexion, so he is fully capable of giving you accurate information respecting our state. We have no doubt but you will affectionately receive him in the Lord. Finally, dear Fathers and Brethren, " pray for us, that the Word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you ;" and that we may be delivered from unreason- able men. " And the Lord is faithful, who will stablish you, and keep you from evil." Amen. Signed by order and on behalf of the Conference, S. WOOD, Secretary.

The Answer of the British Conference to the Address from the Irish Conference. Very dear Brethren, We are sensibly affected by the assurances which you continue to give us of your attachment to us, and to the doctrines and discipline of Methodism. Our interests and yours are the same. ;

)" 1817.] ( 341

We are engaged in one common cause, —the cause of God. We can truly say, that "ye are in our hearts to die and live with you," Seeing then that " there is one body and one spirit, " even as we are called in one hope of" our calling ; one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is above ;" all, and through all, and in" us " all let us still " keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace," and in righteousness of life. During the last year, as you are doubtless aware, considerable agitations of a political nature have occurred, in various parts of this country. Some evil-minded meD, disciples of infidelity, have taken advantage of the distresses of the poor, to foment and increase those agitations, by the circulation of seditious and blasphemous publications, under ensnaring titles, and in cheap forms. The danger was seen ; our people were admonished and they heard the voice of pastoral affection and caution. In this time of trial, the Methodist Connexion ha3 been steady to the principles of the Bible, so zealously maintained and exem- plified by our venerable Founder; —and has given new proof of attachment to the person and family of our beloved Monarch, of obedience to the laws, of gratitude for unexampled civil and religious privileges, and of zeal for the support of our unrivalled constitution. We rejoice, Brethren, to know, that these are also your sentiments, and that you are resolved with us to " fear the Lord and the King," and to " meddle not with them that are given to change." Most tenderly do we sympathize with you in the afflictions which you and your people have endured from the difficulties of the present times, occasioned by a war of extraordinary duration and sacrifice, and aggravated by the failure of the last harvest. These difficulties have been severely felt by us, and indeed by all Europe. But, blessed be God, we have reason to hope for a brighter day. Our trade, in several of its branches, is reviving. Our industrious poor are returning to their usual occupations. Our hopes of the approaching harvest are cheering. " The pastures are clothed with flocks ; the vallies also are covered

with corn ; they shout for joy, they also sina." In this year of peril and suffering, " the Lord of hosts" has been "with us the " ; God of Jacob" has been our refuge." We have been led to value, if possible, more highly than ever, the importance of scriptural Christianity. « In the world" we have had « tribulation," but in Christ we have had " peace;" and our beloved people have manifested that patience, with long-suffering and joyfulness, which nothing but religion could inspire; and which has rendered them dearer to us than ever, while it fills our hearts with the liveliest gratitude to God. We have enjoyed ( S«* ) [1817.

much peace and harmony as a body ; the work of God among us has been generally advancing; in some places the Divine Spirit has been poured out in rich abundance; our missionary zeal has taken a wider range ; we have received from our missionaries in foreign parts the most encouraging intelligence: and, notwith- standing the pressure of the times, we have raised, in the last year, upwards of seventeen thousand pounds for their support, exclusive of the balance of the preceding year. We still feel, however, that we are debtors " both to the Greeks and to ;" the Barbarians ; both to the wise and to the unwise and we are determined, God being our helper, to continue and increase our exertions, until the glory of the Lord shall fill the whole earth. But if our hearts are touched with sorrow for those providen- tial calamities which you have suffered in common with us ; how much more are we distressed by that great '* fight of affliction" " —that fiery trial," which has been peculiar to yourselves ! That your Pacific Plan respecting the administration of the Sa- craments, in some instances, by our own Preachers, should have been rejected and despised —that any of those, whom you re- garded as your children in the Lord, should have been found capable of denying to their brethren the exercise of those rights of conscience which are secured to them by the laws of God and their country—that they should, for such a cause, have separated themselves from those with whom they once " took sweet coun- sel, and walked to the house of God in company"— that they should have made a schism in the body of Christ, and set up a new itinerancy in opposition to you, is to us, as well as to you, a subject of the deepest regret. We charitably hope, however, that they have erred through

good, though mistaken motives ; and we trust you will continue to use every proper means to restore to the fold those wandering " gentle sheep. As servants of God, you will not strive ; but be unto all men; apt to teach, patient, in meekness instructing those that oppose themselves." The union, the firmness, and the spirit of sacrifice^ manifested by you on this occasion, have filled us with admiration of the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ which is in you. In addition to the pecuniary relief which some of our people in England afforded you in the hour of your dis- ar- tress, we have directed our Book- Steward to make certain rangements with your Book- Steward, which will further contri- bute to that object: and it would have afforded us unfeigned pleasure, had the circumstances of the times permitted, to have rendered still more liberal and effectual assistance. We reposed great confidence in our late excellent President, Ml*. Reece, arid the other brethren appointed to accompany 4 a;

1*17.] ( 3** ) to that in your him to your last Conference ; and are happy hear opinion our confidence was well founded.—Our beloved Brother Mr. Tobias was cordially received by us, both as your represen- tative, and as a brother whose personal qualities ensure to him our growing esteem and affection. We doubt not but you will be gratified to hear, that we have unanimously appointed our much-respected Brother and President, Mr. Gaulter, to be the President of your next Conference; that we have also unani- mously requested our Secretary, Mr. Bunting, to accompany

him ; and that he has consented, if the Lord will, to comply with our request. We trust the Divine presence will go with

them ; that their visit to Ireland will be to you a great blessing and that seeing the grace of God in you, their hearts will be glad. We greatly rejoice in the continued success of the Missions which you have established in the darkest and most destitute parts of your island. We have afforded them such increased assistance as our circumstances and pledges to the public would allow ; and our hearts' desire and prayer to God is, that he may so bless the various means now in operation for bettering the condition of Ireland, that the generous inhabitants of that fine and fertile country, emancipated from the bondage of ignorance and sin, may " be filled with the fruits of righteousness which are by Christ Jesus unto the glory and praise of God." We feel, dearly beloved Brethren, that the interchange of annual addresses is not a mere matter of form and custom. It tends to strengthen the bonds of our happy union ; it fans the flame of reciprocal love ; it excites mutual prayer ; it recalls to our minds a thousand interesting recollections ; it leads us to re- view the events of the departed year ; it reminds us that we are one year nearer the termination of our conflicts, and the con- summation of our hopes it ; helps to re-kindle our zeal, and quicken our diligence; and it rouses us to prepare for our final account May we all « feed the flock of God which is amon*" us, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but wfl- ingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind ; neither as being lords over God s heritage, but being ensamples to the flock; and when the chief Shepherd shall appear," may we « rece crown ve of glory that fadeth not away." brethr «n farewell. Be perfect, be of good com- lort,fort beI ofJ*one mind, live in peace, and the God of love and peace shall be with you." Signed by order and on behalf of the Conference, JABEZ BUNTING, c uir 4 Secretary.^ SHEFFIELD, Aug. 9, 1817. I 1 . -

N. B. The Missionary Committee in London have authority to supply the vacancies of the Foreign Stations, by Preachers selected from those who are on the List of Reserve, or otherwise, according to our Rules on that subject.

Q. 4. What Preachers have died since the last Conference ? A. Twenty- six, viz. 1. In Great Britain the seventeen following have died, viz. (1.) George Sykes, jun. In the year 1807, he entered upon the work of an Itinerant Preacher, and laboured with acceptance and profit to the people for nearly ten years. His last appoint- ment was to Paisley, in Scotland, where he continued to exercise his ministry till March, 1817, when he was obliged to desist on account of ill health. In his affliction he was resigned to the Divine will, and expressed confidence in the Lord as the God of his salvation. Just before his departure, he desired his wife to read to him the fifth chapter of the second Epistle to the " " Corinthians ; Which," said he, describes my present expe- rience. I have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. I am happy, and have been particularly so for the two or three last days." Having committed his wife and child to the care of Divine Providence, he died in great peaee and holy triumph, on the 18th day of October, 1817, in the 35th year of his age, and the eleventh of his Itinerancy. He was a man of deep piety, of sound judgment, of great dili- gence, and of promising talents. (2.) John Jackson, jun. A young man of great promise in the church of Christ. He had laboured only about eight months in the Aberdeen circuit, and about three months in the Banff circuit, when the great Lord of the harvest, in his mysterious 1818.] t ^95 ) providence, was pleased to call his labourer home. In the above- mentioned circuits he evinced genuine piety and fervent zeal, with an earnest desire to obtain an increase of useful knowledge, and to become a workman that needed not to be ashamed. Upon entering on his labours in his last circuit, he manifested an ardent concern for the revival of the work of God, and was likely to have been extensively useful. The oldest members of the Society were pleased with his knowledge, and with the depth of his ex- perience. He died in the full triumph of faith, Nov. 9th, 1817. (3.) Jonathan Parkin. He was brought to the knowledge of God in Sheffield, when young in years, and from the time of his conversion walked closely and humbly with God. A full and permanent conviction of his being called to preach the gospel, led him to take up his cross, first as a local preacher, and after as an itinerant minister in our connexion. In coming out to travel he made a sacrifice of very lucrative prospects, which he had from a rich relation ; but he counted all these as dross, that he might win souls to Christ, and enjoy the Divine approbation. During the thirty-five years of his itinerancy, his character as a

Christian and a Preacher was eminently irreproachable ; and his ministry was acceptable and useful, especially in building up believers in their most holy faith. Although in his natural state levity was his besetting sin, Divine grace had given him such a complete victory, that his habitual seriousness became remark- able. He poured out his blood and soul together, (by the rup- ture of a blood vessel) on the 29th of November, 1817. He exclaimed, when dying, " I leave the world possessed of those consolations which I have preached to others." (4.) Thomas Wilton. He was a man of primitive simplicity of spirit, and of unaffected piety. He was plain in his manners, friendly in his disposition, and laborious and diligent in his Christian calling. In his youth he was brought to a saving know- ledge of Divine things, and was called to the Christian ministry when somewhat advanced in life. He travelled more than 19 years with an unblemished character, was useful in the church, and affectionately esteemed by his colleagues. After a severe affliction of nine weeks, he died, full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, on the 19th of December, 1817, in the 50th year of his age. (5.) Joseph Dakin. He was a native of Castleton, in Der- byshire. In the early part of his life he was converted to God through the instrumentality of the Methodists ; and after having laboured for a season in a local capacity, entered upon the work of a travelling preacher. His zeal for the salvation of immortal souls, prompted him to exertions beyond his strength ; in conse- quence of which his health began to decline in the fifth year of ;

( 396 ) [1818. his itinerancy. In his debilitated state lie broke a blood-vessel, which obliged him for ever to desist from his labours. In his last illness he said to a friend, " I am happy in the Lord, and ready for my departure. I am as sure of my heavenly inhe- ritance, as if I were already in possession of it." He died at Thirsk, January the 8th, 1818, aged 31 years. (6.) Robert Roberts. He was born at Bonum, near

Corwen, in North Wales ; and was one of the first fruits of our mission in the Principality. He was truly a man of God, and his life was a comment on the doctrines which he believed and taught. His communion with God was deep, and his gift in prayer singularly great. He entered upon the work of the ministry with much diffidence, and was admitted on trial as an Itinerant Preacher, at the Conference in 1803. He continued to travel among us till about twelve months before his death when, in consequence of weakness he was obliged to desist from his work, to which, (to use his own language) he " died a martyr." The day before his death he said, " I have from my youth feared and loved God, and I have no doubt of my acceptance with him through Jesus Christ." The next morn- ing he requested his wife to lift him up, and then said, " My dear, I am going to leave you, but the Lord will be with you. Jesus Christ hath washed away all my sins with his most pre- cious blood." While in the act of uttering these words, his spirit took its flight to the paradise of God. He died on Friday, January 16th, 1818, in the 34th year of his age, and the 15th of his itinerancy.

(7.) William Ashman. He was a native of Holcombe, in the county of Somerset. From his Journal, it appears that at a very early period of life he possessed the fear of God, and felt the drawings of the Spirit. His conversion took place when he was about seventeen years old. He entered on his itinerant labours in the year 1765. At that very early period of Methodism, he, as well as his brethren in the ministry, endured great hardships, and passed through many difficulties. He desisted from travelling as a regular preacher twenty years previous to his dissolution. He lived at his native place, where he continued to exercise his ministry, and to act as a class- leader, till within a short time of his death, which happened on the 9th of February, 1818. At the close of life, he declared himself to be very happy in God, and perfectly resigned to his will. (8.) John Wittam. He was born at Sutton, in the parish of Kildwick, Yorkshire. At an early period of life he was brought to a knowledge of the truth, by the instrumentality of the Rev. Mr. Grimshaw, of Haworth. He commenced his 1018.] ( 3d7 ) itinerant labours in the year 1767; and travelled forty-four years in various parts of England and Ireland. His piety was genuine, and his life exemplary. Being interrogated respecting the state of his mind, a little before his death, he replied, " I want to be filled with God ;" and afterwards declared that this desire was realised. In the extremity of his affliction he said, " Come, Lord Jesus, and take me to thyself;" and calmly re- signed his spirit to God, in the 81st year of his age. He died near the place of his nativity, February 16th, 1818.

(9.) Edward Hare. He was well known in our connexion, as a man of no ordinary talents and character. Possessed of a strong and penetrating mind, enjoying the advantages of a respectable education, and habituated in early life to reading and reflection, he acquired such mental and moral qualifications as commanded general esteem. A sound conversion to God, by the instrumentality of the Methodists, gave a full deter- mination to his character and pursuits. He now burned with zeal to preach the glorious gospel of the blessed God; and under the instruction and encouragement of his friend, Mr. Benson, entered upon the Christian ministry. His intense and incessant application to study, and his extraordinary exertions in the pulpit, were for some years seen to prey upon his health ; but nothing could abate the ardour of his mind, or induce him in the least degree to relax in his diligence. A pulmonary consumption at length ensued, which baffled all the efforts of the faculty, and terminated his valuable life in the 43d year of his age, and the 20th of his ministry. He died at Exeter, whither he had gone for the benefit of the air, glo- riously exulting in the prospect of a blessed immortality. With the doctrines and discipline of Methodism, he was deeply and extensively acquainted ; and his numerous writings in their defence, are distinguished by honest zeal and great force of argument. A little before his death, when interrogated con- cerning his views of those doctrines which he had preached and defended ; he replied, " They are interwoven with my existence. I might as well attempt to think myself a mere imagination, as strive to disbelieve any one of them. The great doctrines of Methodism I love. It is by insisting upon them that good is done. In fact, little good is done in the world without a proportionate share of (he vital articles of Methodism."

He was a man of great uprightness and integrity ; and as a counsellor and fellow-helper with his brethren, his wisdom and firmness were universally acknowledged. At the same time nothing could exceed his attention to the best interests of his family. During his last illness, he exclaimed, in the hearing t ( 398 ) [1818. " of his afflicted wife, God bless the dear children, they will never know how much their father cared for them." At an- other time, when he perceived her kneeling by his bed-side, he said, in the most affecting manner, " God will be your's ;" adding, with a faultering voice, " A Father—a Father to the children !" His friends, to whom he was equally affectionate and faithful, and the Methodist body, with whom he laboured with high reputation and great success, will long remember the happiness which they enjoyed in the private and public communications of this great and good man. (10.) Samuel Kittle. He was a man of inflexible integrity and genuine piety. When was about seventeen years of age, he was awakened to a discovery of his sin and danger, under a sermon preached by the Rev. Joseph Benson, then in the Birmingham circuit. Having fled for refuge to lay hold of the hope set before him, and having obtained a sense of his ac- ceptance with God, through faith in Jesus Christ, he solemnly dedicated himself to the service of the church. In the year 1800, he was called out as a travelling Preacher, and for 18 years laboured in the Lord's vineyard with zeal, acceptance, and success. During his protracted illness, and in the imme- diate prospect of death, he possessed his soul in patience, and was resigned to the will of God. He had hope in death, and his end was peace. He entered into the joy of his Lord on Monday, March the 30th, 1818, aged 43 years. (11.) Stephen Butler. Even in his unregenerate state, he paid a strict attention to veracity, and was preserved from open vice. In the 18th year of his age, he began to think seriously

about the salvation of his soul ; and under a strong conviction of his lost estate, sought and found redemption through the blood of Jesus Christ. He entered upon the work of the ministrywith fear and trembling, andmaintained an unblemished character to the end of his earthly course. He was naturally reserved, though always ready to give a reason of the hope which was in him. For some months previous to the last Con-

ference, he had strong symptoms of a consumption ; and being exposed to night air, and to cold lodgings, the disease assumed a more serious form, and soon terminated his useful labours. He died on the 30th of March, 1818, in the 36th year of his age, and the 16th of his itinerancy. (12.) Thomas Vasey, jun. He was a native of Tollerton, in near Easingwold, in Yorkshire ; and was converted to God the 16th year of his age. He commenced his itinerant labours in the year 1800, and faithfully discharged the momentous duties of his office till within a few days of his death. He pos- sessed a sound and discriminating judgment, and was strongly 1818.] ( 399 ) attached to the doctrines and discipline q£ Methodism. It was his general endeavour to live so as to please God, and be found of him in peace, without spot, and blameless. His sermons were characterized by simplicity, energy, and pointed application to the consciences of his hearers ; and his talents were such as rendered him very acceptable and useful in the circuits where he laboured : many were awakened and con- verted through his instrumentality. During his illness, he mentioned with lively emotions the doctrines of Justification hy Faith, the Direct Witness of the Spirit, and Present Sal- vation ; which, said he, are the glory of Methodism. Some of his last words were, " Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly !" He died May 5th, 1818, in the 39th year of his age. (13.) George Story. He was an old disciple, and faithful labourer in the Lord's vineyard. His piety was genuine, and uniformly evidenced by a life and conversation unblameable and holy. His views of Christianity, in all its branches, were clear and correct, and his attachment to every part of Metho- dism steady and uninterrupted. He believed and loved our doctrines, which he considered as being those of the Scrip- tures, and perfectly approved of our discipline, and took all opportunities of enforcing it. He was received as an itinerant Preacher in the year 1762, continued to travel in various parts of England, Scotland, and Ireland, for twenty-nine years ; and had many proofs that his labours were attended with suc- cess. In the year 1792, he was appointed Editor of our Magazine, and other publications ; and a few years after, Superintendant of our Printing Office, the duties of which departments he discharged to the satisfaction of the Con- ference, and to his own credit, until his various infirmities rendered it necessary that he should be released from them. he 1 weakness attendant on age came very gradually upon him* until within a few months of his death, when his strength of body, and the faculties of his mind decayed apace. His end was peaceful and serene, as his life had been meek, gentle A short time Si*"??** bef<*e his death, to a friend! concermng his « ^!? h'f prospects into eternity, he said I Zteel Christ to be more precious to my soul than ever." S jEED 1AM - He was a man • of eminent piety, of \unblemished!«ii f ] j and conduct. He travelled with great acceutan^ for nineteen years, and was very useful in even? circuit where he was stationed. His amiable temper, his fakhf^d ministX and his unwearied diligence in the discharge of im eveTK' t0 Wh°le his ac^ee H *S °S SSA Sofl? G dayS dunn which - ' S he was kept in he fin- , perfect near! ^ finished^lhis earthly course, and enteredPinto to m££K ( 400 ) [isig. joy. His death m%y be justly considered as a serious loss to

the Methodist connexion ; but the residue of the Spirit is with the Lord, who will not fail to provide his people with a supply of faithful ministers. He died on June 27, 1818, in the 46th year of his age. (15.) John Townsend. He was brought to a knowledge of

God in early life ; and soon after his conversion began to preach the unsearchable riches of Christ. His piety was deep

and unquestionable ; his general behaviour was blameless and irreproachable, and his talents such as rendered him accept- able and useful wherever he laboured. He had a deep sense of the importance of a faithful discharge of the Gospel Mi- nistry, and entere-d into the most solemn engagements with God, that he might approve himself to Him, and be found of Him at last without spot and blameless. He once observed to a respectable colleague, that his aim was, " Not to be a great preacher, but a good man ;" which, in the opinion of his friend, was the way to true greatness. The subsequent conduct of Brother Townsend shewed the sincerity of his ob- servation, and the excellency of the sentiment. His heart

was in his work to the last ; and when he saw that his hopes of returning to his former labours were never to be realized, he said, with deep feeling, " The will of the Lord be done." His death was sudden. He rose from his bed early in the morning, and laying himself down again, in a few minutes breathed his last, in the 57th year of his age. (16.) Joseph Kitchen. He was a man of unaffected piety and strict integrity. He began his itinerancy in the year 1799, and laboured with approbation and success in the circuits to which he was appointed. During the last year of his life he was greatly debilitated, but did not remit his public labours

till within a few weeks of his decease. For three days before his death he endured a great fight of affliction ; he was, how- ever, perfectly recollected, resigned to the will of God, and possessed of an unshaken confidence in the God of his salva- tion. He bore a noble testimony to the efficacy of divine grace, to all who visited him. Some of his last sentences " were, I feel the power of religion : my confidence in God is firm : Jesus Christ is precious : I have no dependance on any thing I ever did, or now suffer : all my hope is in the blood of Christ." He exchanged the earthly house of his tabernacle for a house not made with hands eternal in the heavens, on Monday the 27th of July, 1818, in the 48th year of his age, and the 19th of his itinerancy. (17.) John Wilshaw. He was a native of the Leek cir- cuit, and for manv vears laboured as an itinerant Preacher. ;

1818.] ( 401 ) In the year 1809, he retired as a Supernumerary. His man- ners were eccentric : but his talents as a Preacher were gene- rally acceptable ; and in the course of his ministry he was instrumental in the conversion of sinners. He bore his last afflictions with patience and resignation ; and in his dying moments was recollected and happy. " Glory be to God," were the last words he was heard to utter. He departed this life July 27th, 1818.

2. In Ireland, three have died : viz. (1.) William M'Kee, who, when very young, was con- verted to God. He possessed a sound understanding, deep piety, and much holy ardent zeal. In July, 1815, he com- menced his itinerant labours as a Missionary in Ireland. Those who knew him, during the two years of his itinerancy, bear ample testimony of his piety, zeal, industry, courage, indefatigable labours, and success in his Master's work. He offered himself to go on a foreign mission, and was accepted by the Conference in 1817; but before the account of his appointment had arrived, he was seized with the typhus fever, which then prevailed in Ireland, and after ten days' illness he was called into the eternal world, on the 30th of July, 1817- He died in the full triumph of faith. (2.) Thomas Johnson, in whose character were united, diligence and zeal in his ministerial duties ; fidelity and affec-

tion in his domestic relations ; benevolence and sympathy for

the afflicted and wretched ; and a pure and ardent devotedness to God, seldom equalled in society. He entered on the ministry in the year 1797? and died in August 1817, in the full assurance of hope. (3.) James Rennick, aged 70 years. This venerable man,

early in life, heard and believed the gospel ; and having ob- tained mercy through the blood of Christ, l:e soon began to preach the truths which he felt. In the year 1782, he became an itinerant Preacher, and continued to travel, faithfully and

acceptably, until the year 1803 ; when sinking under a weight of various afflictions, he endured with patience the will of God. He was a man of good understanding, and great prudence steady in his friendships, and of inviolable confidence. His labours were unceasing, and his knowledge of our doctrines, and attention to our discipline, rendered his ministry useful. He walked humbly with God, in all his commandments and ordinances blameless, and finished his course, praising and blessing God, who had given him to enjoy that full salvation which he had Ions: preached to others.

3. The following Preachers have died, who were on the list of our Foreign Missionaries : viz.

(1.) William Beacock ; who went as a Missionary to the West Indies, in the year 1815. In reference to this excellent young man, one of the missionaries says, " I first became acquainted with our dear brother, in the island of St. Vincent's and, after he left that place, carried on a correspondence with him till near the time of his death. From first to last, I found him to be a man of eminent piety. His charity, diligence, zeal, humility, resignation, and love, I scarcely ever saw equalled. He took cold by sailing in an open boat for Prince

Rupert's Bay ; and though no danger was at first apprehended,

a fever ensued, which became more and more violent, till it terminated in his death, on the 29th of August, 1817- During his affliction, he expressed a strong confidence in God, and his mind was kept in perfect peace." (2.) Joseph Ward ; —who was sent as a Missionary to the

Bahamas, in tiie year 1814 ; and after labouring zealously and faithfully for nearly three years, was called to his eternal home on Sunday, September 21st, 1817. The following account of his affliction and death was given by Mr. Rutledge, who was

with him during the mournful scene : " On Monday the 15th of September, though very unwell, he preached in the evening at Nassau, and resumed his labours on the following evening, but I had to finish the service for him. On the Wednesday morning, I found him in a high and apparently bad fever. Two medical gentlemen attended him, but all their efforts to abate the severity of his disorder, were ineffectual. For three

days we thought him to be recovering ; but on the Sunday morning he began to change for death. That day he spent in

prayer, and in exhorting the people who visited him ; occa- sionally singing praises to God, and expressing the utmost cheerfulness and exultation in the prospect of eternal glory. His funeral was probably the largest ever seen in Nassau. The white inhabitants attended with every token of respect and the behaviour of our black people deeply affected the spectators in general." of the (3.) John D. Allen ; who entered upon the work

ministry in the year 1813 ; and was appointed as a Missionary to the island of Nevis, in the West Indies. He laboured with much zeal and faithfulness for some time before his health land, till began to deeline ; and did not return to his native his brethren in the District were fully persuaded that this measure was necessary in order to the preservation of his life. In the month of June, 1817, he arrived in a very debilitated statr, and gradually sunk under the pressure of affliction, till 1818.] ( 403 ) his spirit returned to God who gave it. He died in November, 1817- He was a young man of an amiable disposition, and of genuine piety ; and though early called into the eternal world, we have reason to believe that he was fully prepared for the Paradise of God. (4.) Michael Head. This excellent man went as a Mis- sionary to the Bahamas in the year 1815 ; and after labouring with much zeal and success for nearly three years, was called to the rest of eternal glory. The last sermon he preached was from the words of Job ; " I know that my Redeemer liveth." Soon after this he was attacked by a violent fever, which terminated in his death, Nov. 18th, 1817- During his affliction, his mind was sometimes in heaviness through mani- fold temptations ; but through the blood of the everlasting covenant, he became more than conqueror, and his soul was filled with peace and joy in believing. His last words were, " Come, O come, and take me." (5.) John Smith, 2d. He entered upon the work of a tra- velling Preacher in the year 1808 ; and, after labouring some years in our regular circuits, offered himself as a Missionary to the West Indies. But soon after his appointment to the Island of St. Eustatius, it pleased God to call him to his eternal rest. He was a man of deep piety, was much in prayer, and lived in the spirit of his Divine Master. Though his talents were not brilliant, they rendered him generally acceptable, and the Lord gave him many seals to his ministry. He died May 14th, 1818. (6.) William Turton. He was a man of colour, and a native of Barbadoes, in the West Indies, where he was awakened and converted to God. Some time after he entered upon the ministry, and in the year 1798, was appointed to the Missionary work. He discharged the duties of his office Avith

fidelity and zeal for nearly twenty years ; and, through the divine blessing, was extensively useful in the Bahama Islands.

About two years ago, his strength began to decline ; but as he was unwilling to retire from the work, continued to labour to the utmost of his ability, till he was under the necessity of giving up that employment which had long been the delight of his soul. After lingering some time, he was called to his heavenly home, in the 57th year of his age. The last words which were heard from his dying lips were, " Glory be to God!" N. B. Of Robert Carr Brackenbury, William Bram- well, and Samuel Bardsley, whose deaths have occurred since the time at which the preceding accounts were given in 2 C 2 ( *°* ) [1813. to the Conference, the usual notice will be taken in the Minutes of next year.

What is the result of the arrangements made last year, with a view to some improvement in our mode of re- lieving those Chapels which need more pecuniary assistance than can be obtained in the Circuits to which they locally belong ? A. Meetings of the Committees appointed to consider this subject have been held in London and in Leeds, which were attended by various Preachers, and by many respectable Trustees from the London East, London West, Rochester, Canterbury, Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Sowerby-Bridge, Halifax, Wakefield, Colne, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Bramley, Derby, Rochdale, Todmorden, Bolton, York, Norwich, Carlisle, Otley, Market-Raisen, and other Circuits. Several Projects and Suggestions were received from different parts of the Connexion, and duly considered. After much discussion the Committee at Leeds have reported to the Conference their opinion on the subject, in the following Resolutions : " 1. That the thanks of this Committee are due to the several Preachers and other Gentlemen who have furnished the Plans of Relief for Chapels which have been laid before us, for the affectionate zeal which they have displayed in the com- mon Cause of the Connexion. " 2. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the pre- sent mode of collecting for Chapels is inefficient for its object, and in other respects highly inconvenient and injurious, both to the Preachers and to the People. " 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee that a General Chapel Fund for the relief of those Methodist Chapels which are deeply involved in debt, and whose Trustees have not local means of meeting their own annual expenses, should be in- stituted in our Connexion, the supplies for which Fund should be raised in the following ways : viz. " (1.) By regular Private Subscriptions, to be raised in every Circuit in the month of February of every year; the appli- cations to our Members and Friends for such Subscriptions to be made by all the Preachers in their own Circuits respectively ; the Preachers being accompanied in such applications by a Deputation from the Trustees of Chapels in that Circuit. " (2.) By a Public Collection, to be made of every Chapel through the Connexion in the month of February in every year, tit the close of the application for Private Subscriptions. : -

1818.] ( 439 )

" (3.) By Legacies, which it may be hoped our more wealthy Members and Friends may think it their duty to leave to this Fund. " (4.) By Annual Subscriptions, to be requested from the Trust- Funds of every Chapel in the Connexion : —such Sub- scriptions to be solicited in proportion to the means and cir- cumstances of the Trust-Estates respectively, and to be reck- oned as a regular item in their Incidental Expenses for the year : —No Trustees to give less than one Guinea, as the Sub- scription for the year on account of their Chapel : —From many Chapels the Committee confidently anticipate the annual receipt of much larger sums, for an object so important, and so essen- tially connected with the permanent welfare of our Connexion : A general application to be made to the Trustees by a Circular Letter, for carrying into effect this part of the new Plan, " 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Monies to be thus raised should be distributed from year to year, for the relief of those Chapels only whose Trustees annually sub- scribe to this Fund, according to such Regulations as may hereafter be agreed upon, and under the direction of a Com- mittee to be annually appointed by the Conference, which Com- mittee shall consist of Fifteen Travelling Preachers, and of Fifteen Trustees, (not being Travelling Preachers,) chosen chiefly from the Districts in the neighbourhood of the place at which the following Conference is to be held : —The Committee of Distribution to meet on the Saturday previous to the Meeting of every Conference, for the examination of such cases of Dis- tressed Chapels as may be recommended to them in the Minutes of the several District Meetings : —The particular state of each Chapel claiming relief, as to Debt, Annual Income, Expen- diture, &c. &c. to be laid before the Committee in writing — One or more general Treasurers for the Chapel Fund to be annually appointed at the Conference, who, as well as the President and Secretary of the Conference for the time being, shall be ex officio Members of the Committee of Distribution.

That this Committee do earnestly recommend it to the Conference, to continue the appointment of an annual Com- mittee, as was the case last year, to watch over the Building and Enlargement of Chapels, so as to prevent, in every pos- sible way, the recurrence of those imprudent proceedings which have occasioned many of our present difficulties." The Conference having considered the above- recited Report of the Committee, resolves, 1. That the Resolutions of the Committee, appointed to arrange a Plan for the Relief of Chapels which need assistance from the Connexion, be approved and adopted. ( 440 ) (1818. %, That a General Chapel Fund, to be supported by Private Subscriptions, by Public Collections, by Legacies, and by Annual Subscriptions from the Trust-Funds of Chapels, on the plan recommended by the said Committee, shall be imme- diately instituted. 3. That the Preachers, in conjunction with a Deputation of such Trustees as are willing to concur in this Plan, shall make applications in their respective Circuits for Subscriptions, in aid of the said Fund, in the Month of February next, and in the same month of every succeeding year ; at the close of which, a Public Collection for the same object shall be made, as has been usual, in all our Chapels, so as to afford to those who have not been individually solicited the opportunity of contributing to this good cause. 4. That a Circular Letter, stating the objects and necessity of the General Chapel Fund, be sent to the Trustees of every Chapel in the Connexion, in the Month of February at latest ; and that they shall be respectfully and earnestly solicited to evince their readiness to concur in the measures thus adopted for the general relief of the Body of Trustees, and for the permanent prosperity of the Work of God among us, by paying to their respective Superintendents some Sum, not less than One Guinea for each Chapel, and more, if the circumstances of their several Trust-Estates will admit, to be applied to the assistance of those Chapels which most urgently need help from this Fund. 5. That Thomas Marriott, Esq. and Mr. George Marsden, both of London, shall be requested to act as Joint-Treasurers of the General Chapel Fund for the ensuing year. 6. That every Superintendent shall be required punctually to remit to the General Treasurers all the Monies which may be raised for the said Fund in his Circuit, whether privately or publicly, on or before the 15th day of March in every year. 7- That the Committee of Distribution, for 1819, shall con- sist of Messrs. James Wood, Henry Moore, Charles Atmore, James Bogie, Walter Griffith, Jonathan Crowther, John Gaulter, George Highfield, Richard Reece, Joseph Entwisle, John Braithwaite, Thomas Ingham, Richard Treft'ry, Valentine Ward, and David Rogers, with the President and Secretary of the Conference, and the Joint-Treasurers of the General Chapel Fund ; —and of Fifteen Trustees, (not being Travelling Preachers,) to be invited by the President, who shall select for this purpose such Trustees, chiefly, as reside in the Districts most contiguous to the place where the Conference is to be held 8. That the distribution of the Monies raised for the Chapel Fund shall be left absolutely, for the first year, to the judg- 1818.] ( 441 ) ment of the said Committee, on the plan recommended in the above-mentioned Report ; and that they be requested, at their Meeting in Bristol, on the Saturday before the Meeting of the next Conference, to draw up Rules and Regulations for the Distributions of future y^ars, to be submitted to the consider- ation of the Conference. N. B. The Conference has also heard with satisfaction the Plan arranged, and presented for its examination, by some respectable Friends, the object of which is to afford further aid to the General Chapel Fund by the establishment of " A Society, to be called The Methodist Chapel Benefit Society, " instituted for the Insurance, on the usual Terms, of Chapels, " Preachers' Houses and Furniture, and other Property be- " longing to Methodist Trustees and Societies." The Preachers and Trustees of the Leeds and Wakefield Circuits, several of whom have already devoted their particular attention to that subject, are requested to form themselves, as soon as conve- nient, into a Provisional Committee, for the Purpose of circu- lating the said Plan, and of carrying it into effect, if it shall appear to be generally acceptable to the Trustees, and to our Connexion at large. Q. 17. What shall be done to prevent the imprudent erection of Chapels in future ? A. The Minute of last year (see Minutes of 1817, p. 330,) respecting the Annual Appointment of a Chapel-Building- Committee, without whose previous consent no Chapel is to be built or purchased, is confirmed; and every Superintendent is required to conform in all cases to the directions contained in that Minute. 2. The Chapel-Building-Committee, for the ensuing year, are, James Wood, Richard Reece, Cleland Kirkpatrick, Miles Martindale, John Kershaw, and John Slack.—Brother Slack is appointed the Secretary of this Committee. All Letters on the subject of Chapels should be addressed to him, at the Me- thodist Chapel in Leeds; and it is particularly requested that such Letters may be sent post-paid. 3. All proposed Enlargements of Chapels, as well as new Erections, must be submitted to the investigation of the Com- mittee. 4. No case shall be sanctioned by the Committee, unless it shall come before them as having received the previous appro- bation of the Quarterly Meeting of the Circuit, and shall be recommended either by the Annual District-Meeting, or at least by three Superintendents in the neighbourhood, who shall certify their approbation in writing. Q- 18. What further directions shall be given concerning the ( 442 ) [1818. regulation and pecuniary support of our Schools at Kingswood and Woodhouse-Grove ? A. 1. The enlargement of the School-Libraries being deemed desirable, the Book-Steward is directed to transmit for the Library of each School a Copy of every Book published in

future at our Book-Room, on our own account ; and our Preachers, who publish any Work, are also requested to pre-

sent a Copy of it for each Library ; such presentation being subject, however, to the opinion of the Local Committees, as to their suitableness for the use of the Scholars. 2. It is agreed, that, in future, all Parents who write to their Children at the Schools shall be required to send all their Letters post-paid. 3. The Annual Vacation of both Schools shall commence in future with the Second Week in the month of May. 4. Considering that a regular and permanent income is of essential importance to these Institutions, and that, owing to the great additional expenditure occasioned by the increase in the number of Preachers employed in the Circuits, the Fund, by which the Schools are supported, (and out of which the usual allowances for the Education of Preachers' Daughters, and of such Sons of Preachers as do not go to the Schools, are likewise paid,) is now in an exhausted and embarrassed state, the Conference peremptorily requires the Preachers in every Circuit to make respectful and earnest application to our liberal friends for Private Subscriptions, in the Month of October of every year, according to our existing Rule, and also to exert themselves in endeavouring to augment the amount of the Public Collections, to be made, in the same Month, in all our Congregations. All Monies thus raised are to be sent to Mr. Atmore, (City-Road Chapel, London,) who is appointed the General Treasurer for the School Fund, for the ensuing year,

on or before the 1st day of November, 1818 ; in order that he may have the means of paying the Money which it has been necessary to borrow for the Annual Allowances to Preachers' Children, and of furnishing to the Local Treasurers of the Schools the sums needed for their current expenses. 5. It is agreed, that, until the School Fund shall have been released, by that increase of its annual income which it is hoped will soon take place, from its present embarrassments, the sum of 600/. expended in the last year in the necessary Enlargement of the Premises at Kingswood, shall be borrowed by the Treasurer, on legal Interest, and Security for it shall be given by the Trustees of the Kingswood School. Q. 19. What is the judgment of the Conference on the state of the General Finances of the Connexion ? 1818.] ( 443 )

A. 1. We acknowledge with gratitude to God, and to our Friends in every part of the Kingdom, the liberal Contributions made soon after the last Conference, by which, in conjunction with the Subscriptions of the Preachers, the large Debt of 1817> occasioned by the inability of the Contingent Fund to meet the Ordinary and Extraordinary Deficiencies "claimed from it by various Circuits, has been completely liquidated. 2. We also perceive with much pleasure the measure of success which has already attended the Plans of Retrenchment adopted by preceding Conferences, and the increased exertions of our People, in the very considerable Reduction of the Claims now brought from many Circuits, a reduction amounting on the whole to nearly Two Thousand Pounds, as appears from the comparison of the whole Deficiencies of 1817 with those of the present year. 3. The Regulations made last year, respecting Allowances for Preachers' Servants and Board, and other financial subjects, (see Minutes of 1817, p. 336,) are therefore confirmed. 4. It is now further recommended, both for the saving of expense, and with a view to the health of our Preachers, and to the greater spiritual profit bf our People in the Country Societies of the several Circuits, that the Single Preachers shall in general lodge at those Places in the Country where they have preached in the Evenings ; so that the Allowances for their Board in the Head Town, or other Principal Place of each Circuit, may not be unnecessarily increased by their too fre- quent return. 5. The several District Meetings, to be held in 1819, are directed carefully to examine the state of those Circuits in their Districts which bring claims on the Contingent Fund for their

Deficiencies ; and specially to report to the next Conference, whether any of them may, in their judgment, cease with pro- priety to be separate Circuits, and what Division of the Places may in that case be made among the neighbouring Circuits, so as to assist in the equalization of the local expenditure with the local income of their Districts. 6. As a considerable augmentation of the Yearly Subscription, made in the Classes, in aid of the poorer Circuit, is deemed prac- ticable, if the urgency and importance of the Case were fully known to our People at large, it is agreed, That a Letter, ex- plaining the purposes and beneficial results of the Yearly Sub- scription, shall be drawn up and a copy of it sent, through the Superintendents and other Preachers, to every Leader in the Connexion, to be by him read and explained to his Class at the two Meetings immediately preceding the time when that Sub- scription is to be taken down on the Class-Papers, or collected ( 444 ) [1818.

from the Members. And the Conference specially reqnests the active and affectionate co-operation of the Class-Leaders in promoting this work of faith and labour of love. 7. As to the present Debt of the Connexion, which has been contracted since the last Conference, notwithstanding the Re- trenchments already partially accomplished, by the continued excess of the Expenditure over the Income of the Contingent Fund, the Conference deems it highly desirable that it should be met by immediate exertions, and not suffered to remain as a burden on the resources of future years. It is therefore re- solved, That the said Debt shall be divided among all the Circuits, in proportion to the number of Members in Society

in each Circuit ; that the Preachers now appointed to each Circuit shall be made jointly and severally responsible for raising the quota of the General Debt which shall appear on this principle to be due from that Circuit ; —that whatever part of th}s quota they fail to raise by special applications to our Friends in their Circuits, they shall be expected to make up by

their own Subscriptions ; —that the effort thus required for the extinction of this Debt shall be made in all the Circuits in the Month of November or of December next; —and that the whole of the Monies raised for this purpose shall be remitted to Mr. Blanshard, on account of the General Treasurer of the Con- tingent Fund, on or before the 1st day of January, 1819.* 8. While the Conference have thus resolved to make provision for the liquidation of the present Deficiency, they also deem it to be at length absolutely necessary to take more effectual mea- sures than have been hitherto adopted, to ensure the prevention

of any recurrence of Debt during the ensuing year ; and, after examining several proposals for that purpose, have resolved, That evert/ District which, after expending its own Yearly Col- lection, is still unable to meet its own Ordinary Deficiencies, shall for the ensuing year receive from the Contingent Fund not more than three fourths of the sum ivhich was allowed to it from that Fund on account of the past year. The Chairman of every District shall take an early opportunity of informing the Circuit-Stewards of every Circuit in his District, which has brought, or his likely to bring claims for Deficiencies, of this Resolution, which the Conference has been induced by neces-

sity to adopt ; and shall exhort them to make, without delay, such local retrenchments or exertions in their own Circuits respectively, as will enable them to reduce their claims on the Contingent Fund within the limits prescribed by this Minute.

* A Letter will be sent to the Superintendents, in due time, to state what ii the Quota of the General Debt to be raised in their Circuit* respectirelv. 1818.] ( 445 )

But it is understood, that if any Circuit appear on examination to have a much greater or smaller burden of expense attached to it for this year, than was upon it for the last year, on account of the number of Families, &c. stationed in it, the Preachers and Stewards, when assembled in the District Meeting, shall take such circumstances into their consideration, and pro- portion the share of the allowance to such Circuits, according to equity ; but so that in the whole District, taken collectively, the sum granted shall at all events be less by one fourth, than the sum received and distributed among the Circuits of that District for the last year.—The case of the Allowance to be made from the Contingent Fund towards the expenses of the Second Welsh District is provided for by a special Regulation. 9. With respect to the plans, which have been frequently recommended, both by Preachers, and by some of our re- spectable Friends, for stationing the Preachers' Families, as to their allowances on the Circuits, in a fair and equitable manner according to the numbers and other circumstances of the Societies, the Conference are of opinion, that some such plan would be highly conducive to the comfort of those Preachers who have large families, to the benefit of the Circuits, and to the improvement of our General Finances. The Preachers in London are therefore desired to make immediate enquiries, by a Circular Letter to the Superintendents or otherwise, as to the whole number of Preachers' Children now to be provided for by the Connexion, and as to other details connected with this subject ; and to ascertain what Number of Members ought in general to be made responsible for the allowance to one child. They are further directed to acquaint the Superin- tendents with the result of these enquiries. And in the next District Meetings, at the time of the transaction of the financial business, during which the Circuit-Stewards are to be present, according to our rule, they shall be requested to take into con- sideration the propriety of making every District responsible for providing within itself, and by its own local resources, the Allowances for such a number of Preachers' Children, as would fairly belong to it, according to the principle of proportion to Numbers in Society ; —leaving it, however, to the Preachers and Stewards assembled in each District-Meeting to modify the application of that general principle, from year to year, ac- cording to their discretion, by relieving the more burdened Circuits of their own District; so, however, as that the whole Quota of each District for Children may be always raised within itself. The opinion of the District-Meetings on the plan now proposed, shall be reported in their Minutes, and wrought before the next Conference. :

( 446 ) [1818.

N. B. (1.) The Conference find it necessary again to require every Superintendent to take care that the Public Collection, in aid of the Contingent Fund, for the support and spread of the Gospel at Home, be made in all our Congregations, and not later, on any account, than the Second Sunday in July and every Superintendent is peremptorily enjoined to bring or send the sum so collected in his Circuit to the Treasurer of the Contingent Fund, and to no other person, on the first day of the Meeting of every Conference. These regulations have been found requisite, in order to prevent confusion, and to facilitate the financial business of the Conference. When the Superin- tendents do not themselves attend the Conference, the Chair- men or Representatives are expected to be prepared in these respects to act for them, and to pay in their Collections, as soon as called for. (2.) The Superintendents are desired to attend exactly to the Directions concerning the Four General Congregational Collections, annually made among us, which were published at page 233 of the Minutes of 1816; and also to the Di- rections respecting the Three General Private Subscriptions, which will be found in the Minutes of 1815, p. 128. Q. 20. What is the deliberate judgment of this Conference respecting the Triennial Stations of our Preachers ? A. It is agreed, that in order to make our Regulation on this subject more strictly conformable to the provisions of Mr. Wesley's Heed of Declaration, (which is enrolled in Chancery, and constitutes the Legal Charter of Methodism ;) —and with a view to the saving of expense, the improvement of our Preachers, and the spiritual welfare of our people,—the Rule shall be as follows : " Whenever it is proposed to station any Preacher in the same Circuit for a third year in succession, the reasons assigned for such triennial station shall be specially stated to the Con- ference, before the appointment is confirmed." N. B. Mr. Wesley's Deed of Declaration enacts, that " the Conference shall not nor may appoint any person for more than three years successively to any Chapel." Q. 21. Is it necessary to enforce our Rules which regulate the attendance of the Preachers at the Conferences ? A. It appears that in some instances those Rules have not been duly observed. We therefore direct that the Revised Rules on this subject, as published in the Minutes of 1809, (Minutes, vol. iii. p. 92,) shall be annually read by the Chair- man in every District-Meeting, just before the List is made of Preachers who are allowed to attend the following Conference. The District-Meetings are required to act strictly upon the 1818.] ( 447 )

Rules thus read. And every Chairman is directed to present to the President, during the first week of the Conference, a List of any Preachers in his District, who shall have come to the Conference in violation of these rules, or without the con- sent of the District-Meeting. Q.22. What is the opinion of the Conference respecting Mr. Benson's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures, the publication of which has been lately finished ? A. On the completion of this laborious undertaking, which was commenced at our request, and for the benefit of the Methodist Connexion, the Conference feel it to be a duty to return their cordial and unanimous thanks to Mr. Benson for

tbe service which he has thus rendered to our body ; and to express their high satisfaction with the solid learning, the soundness of theological opinion, and the edifying attention to experimental and practical religion, which are displayed in his valuable work. Q. 23. Can any further improvement be made in the Bap- tismal Registers of our Connexion ? A. The Committee of Privileges are requested to consider, whether, in addition to the present General Methodist Register of Births and Baptisms, now kept in London under their super- intendence and sanction, it may not be practicable and expe- dient to adopt some method, by which the Local Registers kept at our Country Chapels, may be regularly copied into the Books of our London Office, so as to be duly preserved and easily referred to. Q.24. What improvement can be made in the General Ma- nagement of our Foreign Missions ? A. The Conference having last year approved, and inserted in their Minutes, the outline of a Plan of a General Wesleyan Missionary Society, and directed the Executive Committee to make much additional arrangements as might be necessary for perfecting it, and carrying it into full effect ; —the said Com- mittee, in pursuance of that direction, presented to the Con- ference a Report, containing such General Laws and Regu- lations for the said Society, as seemed to them best calculated, in the present enlarged and enlarging state of our Missionary concerns, to provide for their due management and permanent support. The Report having been read and considered, the Conference resolved, That it is expedient to adopt some plan by which the piety, talents, information, and influence of some of our respectable Friends, Members of the Methodist Society, not being Travelling Preachers, may be brought into co-ope- ration with the exertions of the Preachers, as Members of the the Executive Missionary Committee in London ; and that : —

( 448 ) [1818. Details of the Plan now presented by the London Committee, which Plan includes, among other particulars, a provision for such a co-operation, shall be referred to a Committee of the Conference, who shall examine it, article by article, and re- port their opinion respecting it, and respecting any additions to it which they may deem necessary.—The Committee thus appointed having met, and recommended, with only a few alterations, chiefly verbal, the Plan presented by the London Committee, the Conference finally resolved unanimously, That the said Plan, as recommended by the Committee who have examined it, be noiv adopted.—The Plan is as follows

Laics and Regulations of the General Wesleyan-Methodist Missionary Society.

I. This Institution shall be designated The General Wesleyan Methodist Missionary Society. II. The Object of this Society is to excite and combine, on a plan more systematic and efficient than has heretofore been accomplished, the exertions of the Societies and Congrega- tions of the Wesleyan-Methodists, (and of others, who are friends to the conversion of the Heathen World, and to the preaching of the Gospel, generally, in Foreign Lands,) in the support and enlargement of the Foreign Missions, which were first established by the Rev. John Wesley, A. M. the Rev. Thomas Coke, LL.D. and others, and which are now, or shall be, from year to year, carried on under the sanction and di- rection of the Conference of the People called Methodists. III. Every Person subscribing annually the sum of One Guinea, and upwards, and every Benefactor presenting a Dona- tion of Ten Pounds, and upwards, shall be deemed a Member of this Society, and entitled as such to a copy of the General Annual Report. IV. All Methodist Missionary Societies, which have already been formed, and those which it is intended to form as soon as it shall be found practicable, for the several Districts of this Kingdom into which the Methodist Connexion is divided, shall be entitled " Methodist Missionary Auxiliary Societies," for the Districts in which they have been or may be formed. All Methodist Missionary Societies already formed, or here- after to be formed, in the particular Circuits of any District, shall be entitled " Methodist Missionary Branch Societies" for the Circuit, or (where there arc or shall be more than one such Society in the same Circuit,) for the City, Town, or Village, in which they are or shall be established.—And the formation of Ladies' Branch Associations, and of Juvenile Branch Societies, in connexion with the Auxiliary Societies of 1818.] ( 449 ) the several Districts, is also earnestly recommended, where- ever separate Institutions of that nature are likely to be ad- vantageous. V. The Monies raised in any Circuit for the Methodist Mis- sions by Branch Societies or other Local Associations, and all other Monies, in whatsoever way collected, for the same ob- ject, shall be regularly paid, once in every quarter or oftener, into the hands of the Treasurer of the Auxiliary Society for the District in which the said Circuit is situated, with the de- duction only of such sum as may have been disbursed for the incidental and local expenses of the Branch Society.—And the Treasurer of every District Auxiliary Society shall remit to the Treasurer or Treasurers of the General Society in London, once in every quarter or oftener, all sums so received by him from the various Circuits in his District, deducting only the necessary incidental expenses incurred by the Auxiliary So- ciety. VI. The Secretaries of eveiy Branch Society, or other Local Association, shall forward annually to the Secretaries of the Auxiliary Society for their District, an Alphabetical List of all the Benefactors and Subscribers during the preceding twelve

months, with an account of their respective Contributions j stating at the same time what poi'tion of the sums so received has been detained for local expenses, and what portion has been paid in to the Treasurer for the District : —And the Secre- taries of every District Auxiliary Society shall also forward annually to the Secretaries of the General Society in London a similar List of the Benefactors and Subscribers in all the Circuits of their District, and an abstract of the accounts of the Auxiliary Society, shewing its gross receipts, its local pay- ments, and its remittances to the General Treasurers. VII. All Benefactors of Ten Pounds and upwards, and all Subscribers of One Guinea and upwards annually, to any of the Auxiliary or Branch Societies, or other Local Associations, in connexion with this Institution, shall be deemed, in right of such Benefaction or Subscription, Members of the Genexal Society. VIII. All Persons who collect to the amount of One Shilling and upwards weekly, or Five Shillings and upwards monthly, for this Institution, or for any of its Auxiliaries, Branches, or Associations, shall also be Members of the General Society, and entitled to receive a Copy of each Annual Report, and of each Number of the Methodist Missionary Notices. IX. An Annual Public Meeting of the Members and Friends of this Society, connected with such Religious Services as may be deemed expedient, shall be held in London, on the first VOL. IV. 2F ( 450 ) [181g.

day shall happen to fall Monday in May ; unless that on the 6th or 7th of May, in which case the Meeting shall be held for that year on the 29th or 30th of April. X. A General Committee shall be appointed by the Con- ference, to whom shall be entrusted, in the intervals of the Annual Assemblies of that Body, the superintendence of the Collection and Disbursement of all Monies raised for the Foreign Missions, which are now, or may hereafter be, carried on under its sanction, and by the Preachers in connexion with it, and also the General 3lanagement of those Missions, according to the Rules herein after provided. This Committee shall consist of the President and Secretary of the Conference for

the time being, and of Forty-eight other Members ; at least one-third of whom, (Eight Travelling Preachers, and Eight other Members of the Methodist Society,) shall be selected

from the Country Circuits ; the rest shall be resident in or near London, where Meetings of the Committee shall be held once a month or oftener for the transaction of business. The President of the Conference for the time being, when present, and in his absence, the Chairman of the London District, or one of the Superintendants of the London Circuits, shall be the Chairman of the Committee. Those of the Methodist Ministers who are Annual Subscribers to the Missions of One Guinea, and One Treasurer, Secretary, or other Principal Member from every Auxiliary District Society, who may be in London occasionally, shall be entitled to meet and vote with the Committee. XI. The London Members of the General Committee shall consist of Sixteen of the Methodist Ministers stationed for the time being in or near London, and of Sixteen Gentlemen, Members of the Methodist Society, not Travelling Preachers. Four out of the last-mentioned Sixteen shall go out annually, by Rotation. This Rotation, during the first three years, shall be effected by Ballot of the Committee, after which it will proceed in regular course. Four of the Country Members, (two Preachers and two others,) shall also be changed an- nually. XII. One or more General Treasurers, who shall be entitled to sit and vote with the Committee, during the year of their continuance in office, shall be annually appointed by the Conference. XIII. Three of the Methodist Ministers, stationed in or near London, shall be appointed to conduct the Official Cor- respondence of the Missions, and to perform the other duties of Secretaries. One of the Secretaries shall always reside, during the period of his remaining in that office, at the Wes- 1818J ( 451 ) leyan Mission-House, and he expected to devote himself on the Week-Days, in general, to the service of the Missions ex- clusively; being subject, however, to all the General Rules of the Connexion, respecting a regular change of Station. XIV. As all the Missionaries supported by the Funds of this Society are to be Preachers in connexion with, and under the direction of, the Methodist Conference, and have, generally, a claim to be received as such into the Connexion at Home, on their return from Foreign Stations, the Selection of Mis- sionaries shall be made in the following way : viz. 1. Every Candidate must, in the first instance, be recom- mended by the Superintendent of the Circuit in which he resides, be approved by the Quarterly Meeting of that Circuit, and be examined and approved also either by the Annual Dis- trict-Meeting, or, at least, by three other Superintendents in the neighbourhood. 2. The List of Candidates for Missionary Service, who shall he thus recommended by their several Superintendents, Quar- terly-Meetings, and District-Meetings, &c. shall be annually laid before the Conference ; and such a number of those who are deemed most eligible, as are likely to be wanted in the course of the ensuing twelve months, shall be sent for to the Conference, and examined by a Special Committee in reference to their missionary views and qualifications. In cases where it may be found inexpedient for them to attend the Coeference, they shall be examined by as many of the Preachers of the London District as can conveniently assemble for that pur- pose. 3. Those Candidates who shall be approved by the Special Committee at the Conference, or by the Preachers of the London District as before mentioned, shall be entered on the List of Received Missionaries, and be subject to the call of the General Committee for such Stations as may need supply or reinforcement. 4. When Preachers, already engaged as such in the Con- nexion at Home, offer themselves for Foreign Service, they shall be personally examined in reference to that subject, by a Special Committee at the Conference, or, if that be imprac- ticable, by as many of the Preachers of the London District as can conveniently assemble for the purpose, and shall, if approved, be also placed on the List of Received Missionaries. 5. If it shall at any time appear to a majority of the General Committee in London, that there are reasons why any Preacher called out from the said List of Received Missionaries, and proposed for a Foreign Station, should not proceed upon that Service, they shall have a right to suspend his appointment as 2 F 2 —

( 452 ) [1818. a Missionary, until the ensuing Conference shall specially consider and determine on his case. 6. If, in the intervals of the Annual Meetings of the Con- ference, the List of received Missionaries shall be exhausted, and more Missionaries shall be urgently wanted,—or if an immediate supply shall be needed for some Station of peculiar difficulty, or requiring peculiar qualifications,—the General Committee shall be at liberty to employ such Persons as they deem suitable. Provided always, That such Persons shall have been previously recommended by their respective Superin- tendents, by the Quarterly Meetings of the Circuits in which they reside, and either by the District-Meetings, or by three other neighbouring Superintendents,—and also previously exa- mined and approved by as many of the Preachers of the London District as can conveniently assemble, who shall be considered, on such occasions, as exercising, on behalf of the Conference, the same functions which would in ordinary cases belong to the Special Committee appointed during the sittings of the Con- ference, according to the 2d and 4th Articles of this Rule : Provided also, That this right of the Committee to employ Mis- sionaries not entered on the Annual List, shall be exercised only in case of pressing necessity, and not without the consent of the President of the Conference for the time being. XV. The Plan for stationing the Missionaries, supported by this Society, shall be annually drawn up by the Secretaries, laid before the General Committee in London, and, if approved by them, recommended to the Conference. XVI. The Trial of Missionaries, who may at any time be accused of misconduct, or of having deviated from the Doc- trines and Discipline of the Connexion, shall in all ordinary cases be left with the Foreign District-Meetings to which such Missionaries may at the time belong, according to the General Rules and Usages of the Methodist Conference. But the Con- ference shall have, as heretofore, the right of recalling any Missionary, whether put on his Trial by a Foreign District- Meeting or not, whenever there shall appear to them to be reason for such Recal. And, in the intervals of the sittings of the Conference, the General Committee in London shall pos- sess a similar power of Recal, and of putting any Missionary, so recalled by them, upon his Trial before the ensuing Con- ference, or, in case of necessity for immediate decision, before the Preachers of the London District. XVII. For the satisfaction of the numerous Country Friends of this Society, on whose continued co-operation so much de- pends, and many of whom are in the habit of attending the Annual Meetings of the Conference, it is agreed, that a Special 1818.] ( 453 )

Meeting of the General Committee shall be held, once a year, at the place where the Conference is held, at nine o'clock in the morning of the Friday preceding the last Monday in July. To this Meeting the Conference shall, from year to year, invite Nine Preachers, and Nine other Members of the Methodist Society, resident in the neighbourhood, who are not Travelling Preachers, together with the Treasurers and Secretaries of the different Auxiliary and Branch Societies in the Vicinity, and such other leading Country Friends of the Methodist Missions as can conveniently attend. The Persons thus assembled, in conjunction with those regular Members of the General Com- mittee who can be present, shall review the Minutes of the Financial Business transacted during the preceding year, and examine the General Accounts of the State and Expenditure of every Mission. Any suggestions for the improvement or extension Of the Missionary Concerns of the Connexion, which this Special Meeting may deem it expedient to recommend, shall be minuted by the Secretaries, and promptly considered by the Conference, or at the subsequent regular Meetings of the General Committee in London. XVIII. It is earnestly recommended to the Members of this Society, and of the Auxiliary Societies, and other Local Asso- ciations, in connexion with it, to consider it as an indispen- sable part of their daily Christian duty, to pray to Almighty God for a blessing upon its designs, and upon those of all similar Societies of other Denominations, engaged in the Propagation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ; under the full conviction, that unless He " prevent us in all our doings with his most gracious favour, and further us with his continual help," we cannot reasonably hope for a succession of Persons of proper spirit and qualifications for the Office of Missionaries, nor expect their labours to be crowned with the desired suc- cess. And it is further hoped that with the same view, all the Members and Friends of this Society will sanction, in their several neighbourhoods, by their presence and influence, the Monthly Missionary Prayer-Meetings, which should be held in every Chapel in the Mctiiodist Connexion, according to the Recommendation of the Conference, published in their Minutes Missionary for 1815 ; at which Meetings, Extracts from the Notices, containing recent intelligence from the Foreign Sta- tions, may be read, and united supplications olfered up for the salvation of the World.

( 456 ) [1818.

Q. 26, Is any Alteration necessary in our Rule respecting the Marriages of Missionaries before the termination of their Probation ? A. On the recommendation of the late Committee of Exa- mination and Finance, the Conference resolves, That if any Married Missionary, who has not previously travelled in a Circuit at home, be appointed to the British Colonies in America, or for the West Indies,—or, if a Single Missionary, already employed in those Stations, be allowed by the Com- mittee to marry before the term of his Probation shall be completed,—such Missionaries shall be required to engage, that they will stay on some Foreign Station four years longer, thtn the period of Service usually required from Missionaries stationed in those parts of the world ; —excepting only in the case of confirmed ill health. Q. 27- When and where shall our next Conference be held ? A. In Bristol, on the last Monday in July, 1819.

Leeds, August 12, 1818.

N. B. 1. The next Conference is appointed to be held in Bristol, instead of Liverpool, (which, according to the former order, was the Place next in succession to Leeds,) for the purpose of avoiding the inconvenience of hold- ing three Conferences successively in the North of Eng- land, of which the Preachers and Circuits in the South and West have frequently complained. 2. The Stationing Committee are to assemble at six o'clock in the morning of the Monday before the com- mencement of the next Conference. Brothers Hen- shav and Warren are to meet at the same time, to audit and prepare the General Accounts. And Brother Thomas Jackson, the Sub-Secretary, is likewise di- rected to attend, for the purpose of compiling from the District-Minutes various Lists, &c. which will faci- litate the business of the subsequent Conference. 3. It is particularly requested that all Letters written to the President or Secretary, or other Preachers, whether during the Sitting of the Conference, or in the course of the year, on public business of any kind, may be sent post-paid.—The President's Address is, Methodist Chapel, Birmingham ;—That of the Secretary, No. 10, Bache's How, Charles' Square, Hoxton, London. 1818.] ( 457 )

The Address of the Irish Conference to the British Conference.

Beloved Fathers and Brethren, Through the tender mercy of the Lord, we have been preserved during another year of painful exercise. We adore the gracious Providence which hath kept us ; and our hearts glow with gratitude, in the midst of trials, for the favours we have received. With more than ordinary feelings of brotherly affection we again address you, and rejoice in the growing confidence we have as to your lively concern for our welfare. This confidence has been greatly strengthened by the reading of your last Address. The sentiments which it communicates are deeply engraven on our hearts. Amidst our tribulations we are filled with comfort, by the tenderness of your sympathy, and the cordiality of your Christian affection. The declaration made by your President, that we were your Children, and that you would not forsake us in the hour of our distress, and your affectionate concurrence in this declaration, afforded us the liveliest joy. We also gratefully express our acknowledgments for the arrangement you have been pleased to make with your Book-Steward in our behalf. We were deeply concerned, during the political agitations which afflicted your country, lest any of your dear people should have been drawn aside from the truth of the Gospel, and from their habitual attachment to our beloved Monarch and incomparable Constitution. We rejoice in the prompti- tude and success of your ministerial efforts to " deliver them from so great a death." With pleasure we behold the rising prosperity of your trade,

and the cheering prospect of an abundant harvest ; knowing that temporal good things contribute to the support and exten- sion of the Work of God. In the order of a mysterious, yet adorable Providence, we have, dear Fathers and Brethren, been called to " endure a great fight of afflictions." Twenty-six of our Chapels were

shut against us ; our characters were maligned ; and (for no other reason, than because we granted the administration of the Christian Sacraments by our own Preachers to a large number of our People, who had long petitioned for them,) we were represented as unfriendly to the excellent constitution of the Empire in Church and State. And, what we deplore more than any thing else, many of our dear People, the seals of our ministry in the Lord, have been unhappily induced to ;

( 458 ) [1818.

decline Tor the present any farther connexion with us. In the midst of our difficulties, God, who comforteth those who are cast down, has been graciously pleased to raise up many sym- pathizing friends, who have encouraged and strengthened us in the Lord, and with generous liberality have come forward to assist us in meeting our pecuniary difficulties. Our financial affairs, however, are still exceedingly embarrassed; and we are called to endure privations of the most serious kind. We would say more on this subject, but our respected President, and Brother Bunting, together with our Brethren, Messrs. Steele and Tobias, can fully explain every thing to you re- lating to our affairs. In November, 1816, when some of our Chapels were wrested from us, a Committee of our Friends was formed in Dungannon, who appealed to Chancery in vin-

dication of our rights ; and though for some time we were unwilling, through our love for Peace, to engage in legal pro- ceedings, yet in this we now plainly discover the Providence of God. By the late Decision in the Rolls Court, in the case of the London-Deny Chapel, our rights have been fully

established ; our ceconomy is better explained and understood and the union and confidence of our friends are considerably strengthened. With pleasure we mention to you the faithful labours and valuable services of the above-mentioned Com-

mittee ; the result of which is of great importance to our whole Connexion. Notwithstanding the painful agitations of many parts of our Body, in the last year, God has been graciously pleased to pour out his Spirit ; many sinners have been awakened and converted ; and some of those who left us have already re- turned again. The labours of our Missionaries also have been greatly blessed. Still, we have to deplore a decrease, on the whole, in our numbers ; occasioned partly by the rendings of some Circuits, since our last Conference, and partly by emi- grations to the Canadas and other parts of America, and by the afflicting ravages of the Typhus Fever. In one Circuit alone, One Hundred and Twenty emigrated, and about One Hundred died. Nevertheless we are encouraged in the Lord, and earnestly look forward for the fulfilment in our case of the following Scriptures : " Therefore, thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob ; Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his. face wax pale ; but when he seeth his children, the work of mine hand, in the mids.t of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and fear the God of Israel. They also that erred in spirit shall come to understa/iui/tg, and they that mur- mured shall learn doctrine.— The children which thou shult ;

1818.] ( 459 )

have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place is too strait for me, give place that I may dwell." We gratefully acknowledge your kindness in favouring us with the assistance of our highly-respected and valuable Friends, Messrs. Gaulter and Bunting. While they have entered with all the sympathy of Christian affection into our distresses and sorrows, we have reaped much pleasure and profit from the wisdom of their counsels in Conference, and from the zealous exertions of their highly respectable and use-

ful talents in the pulpit. The manner in which our President has discharged the duties of his office has given us the highest satisfaction. We unanimously request that you will appoint two of your Body to visit Ireland about two Months previous to our next Conference, to make the tour of the principal places in our Island, from which in our present state we anti- cipate the happiest results. Our beloved Brother Steele has been chosen our Represen- tative to you, and Brother Tobias is requested to accompany him. In these Brethren we repose the fullest confidence and we have no doubt but you will affectionately receive them in the Lord. Notwithstanding the efforts which have been made to dis- unite us, never did we at any former period possess greater unanimity of sentiment, or cordiality of affection, than at the present Conference. Under the gracious influence of our living Head, we are resolved to give ourselves wholly to the

work of the Ministry ; to be " instant in season and out of

season ; to reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with all long-suffering and doctrine." And now, dear Fathers and Brethren, we commend you to God, and pray that his presence and blessing may be with you

in all your deliberations for the good of his Church j and " that when the Chief Shepherd shall appear ye may receive a crown of glory, which fadeth not away." Signed in behalf and by order of the Irish Conference, WILLIAM SMITH, Secretary. Conference-Room, Dublin, July 11, 1818.

The Answer of the British Conference to the Address from the Irish Conference. Beloved Brethren, Your affectionate and interesting Address we have received with great pleasure. We have tenderly felt for you in the painful trials. wi,th which vou have been exercised during the ( 460 ) [1818. last year. But we rejoice that you have been so supported and preserved, that you have not only been patient but thank- ful. Be assured that the growing confidence in us, which you express, excites in us a growing affection for you ; and that we are unfeigncdly glad that our sympathy has in any measure contributed to your relief and comfort. With much grief we learn, that, in the great fight of afflic- tion which you have been called to endure, various Chapels were illegally shut against you, your ministry obstructed, and your proceedings grievously misrepresented. And our sorrow is increased, because we are satisfied that these injuries were not provoked by you, but resulted from the prejudices or the intolerance of those who persisted in refusing to a large number of their Christian Brethren the privilege of having the Holy Sacraments, instituted by the Lord, administered to them by their own Preachers, in the way for which they had so long and so earnestly petitioned. It affords us the highest satisfaction to be assured, that while your mistaken opponents have represented you as hostile to our Constitution in Church and State, your conduct has sufficiently proved the injustice of the charge. And whilst we, as well as you, lament most deeply that many of the seals of your ministry in the Lord have been induced to renounce con- nexion with you, we rejoice to find, that, in the midst oi these difficulties, God has raised up sympathizing friends, who have encouraged and strengthened you, by the generous libe- rality with which they have come forward to assist you. We are not surprised that, notwithstanding the help which you have received, your embarrassments are still very great, and that you are likely to be for some time longer under the neces- sity of making very painful sacrifices. Such is our feeling upon this point, that nothing but the pressing nature of our own financial difficulties should prevent us from affording you efficient relief. Both you and ourselves must endeavour to profit in the school of trial in which we are, in this respect, at present placed. Temporal privations have often been sanc- tified to the good both of individuals and of churches. Let us pray and labour that this may be the case with us. The late Decision of the Rolls Court, in t'.ie case of the London-Derry Chapel, by which our rights have been fully vindicated, is of general importance to our Connexion, and ought to excite peculiar gratitude towards Him by whom kings reign, and princes decree justice. The friends who compose the Dungannon Committee are also enthi; -d to our warmest thanks and affectionate remembrances. We trust that the very best use will be made of this memorable decision, and 7 1818.] ( 461 ) that all the other Chapels, of which you were unjustly deprived, will now be promptly and peaceably restored. The most en- couraging part of your Address is that which states, That, during the last year, God has been pleased, in many parts of Ireland, to pour out his Spirit; so that Sinners have been awakened, and Backsliders recovered. We rejoice especially in the success of your Missionaries ; while we cannot but de- plore, in conjunction with you, the decrease in the total num- ber of your Societies, occasioned partly, as you state, by the Typhus Fever, and by Emigrations, and partly by the divisions made in various Circuits. In circumstances so distressing to true Pastors, we are happy to perceive that your hearts are fixed, resting in God, and trusting in his great and precious promises. Your acknowledgment of the pleasure and benefit which you have reaped from the judicious counsels, the zealous exer- tions, and the ministerial services of our very valuable and much respected Brethren, Messrs. Gaulter and Bunting, is what we were prepared to expect, from the pleasing experience which we have so long had of their attachment to our Body, and general usefulness. With their visit to Ireland they ap- pear to have been highly gratified ; and have convinced us, by the manner in which they speak of you and your People, that you have a deep interest in their affectionate remembrances and prayers.

. Your choice of Brother Steele to represent you in our Conference has been perfectly satisfactory to us. Both he and Brother Tobias have met with a cheerful and affectionate re- ception among us. And during our various sittings, their conduct has been altogether brotherly and christian. It is with gratitude to the God of Grace and Love that we inform you, that great peace and harmony generally prevail

among us in England ; and that we have increased and increas- ing prospects of usefulness, both at home, and in various stations occupied by our Foreign Missionaries. As the President of your next Conference, we have appointed our own President, Mr. Edmondson. And we have requested our worthy and beloved Brethren, George Marsden and Robert Newton, to accompany and to assist him in rendering

to you all possible Christian and ministerial service ; especially in the Formation or Anniversaries of your Auxiliary and Branch Missionary Societies. And now, Brethren, we commend you to God and to the word of his grace, which is able to build you up. We pray that both you and we may possess and display still more and more, in spirit and in practice, the wisdom which cometh from ( 462 ) [1818.

above. Let your moderation be known unto all men : The Lord is at hand. Avoid, as much as you properly can, all further controversy on the points lately disputed among you. Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good. Steadily and peaceably pursue the path of duty in which the Lord has led you. Preach the Word, faithfully, zealously, and indefatigably. Rush into every open door, and cry, " Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sin of the world." Be steadfast and unmoveable, always abounding in the Work of the Lord, and your labour shall not be in vain in the Lord. Both as Christians and Ministers, let your conver- sation be as becometh the Gospel of Christ ; so that both those of us, who come and see you, and others who hear of your affairs, may rejoice to know that you stand fast in one spirit, striving together for the hope of the Gospel. Death has lately made more than ordinary inroads on our Connexion. Many excellent Brethren, both young and aged, have been called from the labours of earth to the rest of heaven. These visitations of Providence are solemnly admo- nitory to us who remain for a while in the Vineyard. Let us work while it is day ; and may the hand of the Lord be with us ! Signed by order and in behalf of the Conference, JON. EDMONDSON, President, Leeds, Aug. 12, 1818. ( *63 ) [1818.

TO THE READER.

TWO years have elapsed since I published an Index to the first three volumes of the Minutes of Conference : the fourth Volume being noiso completed, I have added an Index

to this also, which comprises the Supplement to my former Work,

containing references to the Minutes of 1814, 1815, and 1816 J

the reader is therefore requested to cancel that Appendix.

Any of the purchasers of this uniform edition of the Minutes,

who have not yet obtained the Index to the former volumes,

may be supplied by Mr. Blanshard. SAMUEL TAYLOB.
