IVE4LEYAN CONFERENCE

The ordination service was held on Wodnewlay in the
Wesleyan Chapel, Nottinghain. Forty-six young teen
were ordained. The ex-President. the Rev. fkgrvais
Smith, delivered the charge. In the course of his chant*
the ex-President said that a candidate to be ameptable
to the Methodist people awl to the Methodist Conference,
must be able to preach. Is a rule, where Sanerdotalim.
prevailed, the sermon was lightly esteeMed ; but Proteu
tantisin had always recogninxi the supreruacy of the
pulpit. Romanism, until very recent times, had never
encouraged the preacher. The onlers of those who hut
been that day ordained were Scriptural, and thervfore
valid. The High Church Ministers, however, who boasted
of their Apostolical succession, would wish to strip them
of their ministerial character. In virtue of that sueees.Mn
the high Church Ministers claimed the exclusive ri.:hts,
privileges, and responsibilities id the Ministry in this
land. The only exception which same ,d them would
make was in favour of the Romish priesthood. The
foundation id any such claim was rotten. I intillatian by
presbyters was equally Valid with that by Itishops, and
clinsequently the ministry of all the reformed ProteAtant
. .

churches was. equally vli4 with that of any- kpleco";il
Church. Presbyters were a. much siiceessors of the
Ateedle,,a ltishops were. A AlleCiAtlioll of the truth of
doctrine. of faith, aud holiness, of the pure Word ,4 Gods
and iif the sacr.tuienta duly ivlministerml, was the only
essential succession necessory to Christain Church. The
charge closed with practical and devotional directions to
the newlyAndained ministers.
