highly appropriate prayer. which was heartily
responded to by the Conference.
On motion Of J. G. Wilson, v. ID. M, it
was resolved that the roll OF the Ministers and
Preachers of the Conference be now called to
allow any one who wishes his relation changed
an opportunity to signify the same to the Con-
ference.
Rev. Messrs. A. Webster, L. Remick, ]. w.
Pennel, and J. M. Haines, were transferred to
the unstationed list at their own request. ',@
