The Conference opened at 10 o'clock on Tender
morning, in the Gloucesterstreet schoolroom. Mr. G.
Curtis, of Poole, occupied the chair, and there was •
fair attendanca of delmtater, including a considerable
number of ladies, and there was much humorous invita-
tion to the latter to take part in the speaking; but the
the fairer sex were .hy of accepting the calls. A
temperance hymn having been sung, and the Ist Psalm
mud, the Ref. G. Iliad., of Swanage, offered prayer.

report, though be named the meeting that it was in-
beesues of the tardy replies of friends to
applications for money. The balance in hand at the
ciuse of last year, was £96 is. 54. The receipts from
various sources were £529 2s. Bgd., while the expendi•
tore wee £587 14s. The accounts would probably be
altered before being printed, as they were still kept
open for the receipt of arrears. They held as a set-off
for the bsbtooe against them available stock to the
value of 158 155., end fête stook to the value of /7.
They had 35 societies which bad not paid up during the
last year, and of sixteen he was sorry he had not very
great hopes.
- -

Mr. Ca. Coatis, chairman. moved the adoption of the
report. Their public meetings had been all they amid
have hoped for; but they might have been made more
effectual by attention to details. Let them take rare
the meetings Me not too long. Young people were kept
too long away from home, domestic smogemeuts were
sleet, and many were kept away. Meetings should
begin sod close at the time announced. The speeches
were often too long-winded, and he urged they
should be shorter, and let the people go away longing for
more rather than having tied too much. The association
was& working one and their misid us onseies mt be really
working men. Some thought the missionaries should
be men of great ability for speaking, but be attached
more importance to book-hawking and visitation then
to speaking. If the local society was not reedy, the
missionaries must not peat it by, but must make them-
selves acquainted with every family in the village.
Many of those they supposed to be their enemies would
turn out frMnils, if carefully visited, and as they could
not see the whole at one time, let them take • part
some tome, and another on another oosaidon.—(hear,
hear, and "Push it r) The report ICY so exhan•tive
that it did not rNuire any tanarks, iinal he conelladad
by proposing the adoption el the report.

Mr. ROW, of Bournemouth, Ascended the adoptiesi at
the report.
Mr. F. CLARE, of Ettoesit, endowed the remarks of the
Prod.'s:A. He bad been conneeted with the Total
Abetinenee movement for 35 year., and when be first
joined it. it was difficult not to believe thet the world
would bee its importance. Now the drink truffle had
increseed, and England manufaetured even for other
reentries, but he thought they were leavening many of
thone formerly °permed to them, with their truths.
Much had beee done by deputstions to the magistrates.
end there were oow more favourably received then
formerly. He urged them to sorry on the work in a
loving Christian spirit, remembering that it we. God's
work, and nothing oould withstand the cause of truth,
sod righteousness (hear )
The report and balance sheet were received sad
adooted, aod ordered to be printed.
Mr. W. MATZ proposed the re-election of Mr. G.
Curtis, of Poole, as president of the Association. Mr.
Curtis had been • thorough working member, and
though he (Mr. 3lat,) did not like the re-election of
Presidents, yet they required thorough working

Mr. CURTIS retarded thanks for the high honour done
him. He wed willing to he a door-keeper or presilent,
so that he could nerve the cage' he felt of so much value.

Mr. Hodges his poeitlen, sod believed there was
sonro•ly SAT person who could do so well ea be did
in that °Moe. Alluding to the report, be men-
tioned that The Worship of Baselose" bad the best
place in the South Kiltsington Moseuni, and also
mentioned the pi •stire he felt in hearing 5,000 children
sing at the Band of Hope festival in the Crystal Pelson.
Thy sang better than adults, and the way their con-
ductor managed them was wonderful. As to the vice-
pre•idents, be was glad to see that his name W•V Dot
now first on the pup of the Dorset Abstainer. In eon-
elusion be proposed tlie election of Mr. Hodges.
Mr. U. HALLAM. of Litchett. seconded the resolution
with pleasure. though with trembling—flaughterb If
he had been rho father of a large bandy, he eould not
have done hotter in gliring a little correction to the
branches that required it for sot paying up. He
glad that they at Lytohett bad paid their sulacription

--(laughter).
The re-election was carried unanimonaly.
Mr. HOMIER returned thank., repressing his pleamna
that the arrangements of the day would relieve him
of • great deal of book work.
Mr. H. Merit, of Bbandford. propoeed "That. in the
opinien of this conference. the time is come for the
appoiettnent of a paid secretary, who shall devote his
whole time toil.° A weal-lion, and for holding meeting.,
take the place of a third suis.iouary." Thc increase of
the Aasoeiation's work required' paid officer.
Mr. J. srlsT, of Hilbert's St. Andrew, said the
time devoted to the necessary work was very consider-
able rich year. The occupation of the secretary as
third misdon w..uld be another ohjeot gabled. He
tber fore .econded the resolution, which was aopported
by the Rev. H. B. MILES, and Rev. G. HERDS,
ol
Seanage. it c latter of whom invited dismissive.
Mr. B. Roes, Beichalwell, asked how the secretary
we. to be paid.
Mr. G. Ceßris said the committee'. idea was that the
maney might ho obtained from friends outside the
Association, and he urged pereonal application to the
landowners and gentlemen in the county. There was
plenty of money in the county of Dermot —(heai).
Mr. S.HoDom said their book hawkieg and treasurer's
work required e vast amount of work. He himself had
been obliged to do two days' honest hard labout during
week for the association. The question was really
should the a.sociation live through the agency of a paid
inanager, or should they go backward.
Mr. MATE supported the appointment of • paid
secretary. Reside Mr. Hodges, who gave two days •
week, Mr. Knell alao devoted • vast amount of time
to the Aleociation's work. If Mr. Hodges and Mr.
Knell said they would nnt do it in future, they would.
be obliged to pay an otticer—(heer.)
Rev. S. KIIILL mid a pastor of • church could net he
honestly giving half his time to another work. " Can-
not" and not "would not" were the proper words to use.
Mr. BARTLETT corroborated what bad been said about
the enormity of the work. The work of the Associa-
tion had outgrown the means of acentuplishini it, and
he hoped the means of payirig an officer would come
and they would go on with the work.
Mr. LLEWELLYN, of Poole, and others, spoke, and
Mr. 11uPtret thought their secretary ought to have •
saltily of 1:150 a year. If they, who as teetotallers,
saved their money, er ought to, could not help pay for
It, the sooner they shut up their teeteealiam the better.
Mr. GATEHOUSE, of Shaftesbury, agreed with JO.
Hodges.
Mr. TUCKER, of the United Kingdom Band of Hope
Velum, London, said their to:ivory got on a great deal
better with a paid secretary than when they had to.
accept honon.ry work. Though before they used to-
have a balance con-tinily on the wrong side, now they
loot a balance of tiro at their bankers.
Mr. J. S. W ALLIS, of Weymouth, followed on the
same side.
The proposition was then put and carried unanie
mously.
Mr. HODGES proposed that the Rev. S. Knell, be
appointed. No other person bad no much knowledge of
the work. Mr. Knell hod p.ssed through almost all
the offices, except that of book manager, and it would
require at least a twelvemonths' schooling to bring any
one else to the same pitch of competency.
Rev. G. HINDS, of Swann', seconded the proposition.
He believed that if Mr. Knell had 1::)00 a year from an
independent source, he would do the Association's work
for nothieg. He considered oat of very gratitude they
should offer the appointment to Mr. KuelL
In enactr to a question, Mr. CURTIS said Mr.
Sounder., of the National Temperance League, bad
offered himself to the association.
A long die usaion followed, in which Mr. HOBBS, of
Weymouth, remarked that if Mr. Knell coral go aboat
and beg his eatery, and was also a good platform man„
then Mr. Knell was the man for them.
Mr. WESTCOTT, of Sh.fteebory, Mr. CLARK, of Street,
and Rey. H. MILEs, thought it far more important to
have • good eecretary ttmn a good speaker, and they
believed Mr. Knell was the man for the place. Some of
the speakers considered it more iniportant to have •
good secretary than • first-rate "platform man," while
other, seemed to think public speaking wa, of the most
importance. Man 7 of the speakers, especially those who
occupy high positions in the eseociation, seemed in
favour of Mr. Knell. In the course of dissuasion it ap-
peared that the appointment would only be an annual
one. At length,
Mr. GATEHOUSII, of Shaftesbury, proposed Mr. W.
Saunders, of the National Temperance I.eatrue, emended
by Mr. M. BALLA'', of Lytchett Matravers. Seven
voted for the amendment, and 42 for Mr. Knell, who
was therefore elected, amidst applause, and the Confe,.
enee adjonened.
The member. of the Conference then dined together at thee
Wetticyan achtatlrootak, in which a very excellent cold collation
was imo bled by the Weymouth branch of the society , and
about ;0 member. pat down. The catering was ezooceilingly

ought to have the power to answer for himself.
Mr. It senor, thought the Conference should be in pomeielie
of the facts.
Mr. Homes said the defect. cropping up from time to tin/
led to the bringing forward of this nwolution. The missionary•.
report& In some instancn were blanks, and the evidence wee
obtained from their own inns. He did not think the miadonary

ought to go on with his book-hawking, unless the er.taol of
