METHODIST PROTESTANT CONFERENCE
In my letter yesterday, alluded to the ex-
citing and touching scene which occurred "a
bout o'clock, when the Rev. Mr.. Stockton
addressed the Conference and afterwards re-
ceded from that body. This was the principal
topic of interest in the proceedings of yester-
day. It was announced that the Methodist
Protestant Parsonageat Chestertown had been
DESTROYED by FIRE, and the minister REV. Mr..
Roby) had lost all his fGrniture by the confa-
grafton.
On motion Of Rev. J.. R. Reese, subscrip-
ton was Immediately made for the relief of
the suffering minister, to which the members
Of the Conference, the ladies and others present,
literally contributed.
This morning Conference met at nine o.
clock, and continued in session until O'Clock,
when they adjourned to meet again at O.
clock. | send you the annexed list of minste-
rial appointments, kindly handed me by the
President and corrected by the Secretary.
was in attendance for an hour and half be-
fore Conference adjourned at O'Clock. While
was present Conference was engaged in an
interesting and warm discussion in relation TO
certain remarks made by MIR. Stockton yester-
day, in which it was thought by certain men,
beers he had been unnecessarily severe on Con-
Observation-Disclosures vi tIISlE part q HSpleCt Vi
the missionary branch of that body.
The discussion, as am informed by an in
telligent member of the Conference, arose on
certain resolutions offered by the Rev. DR..
Waters, vindcatory of that body from the re-
marks of Mr. Stockton, which were considered
as "unkind and uncalled for" The Rev. Mr.
| Wilson deprecated the passage of the resolu-
tons and argued in very mild and christian
like spirit in favor of Cancellation. He thought
it not unlikely that Brother Stockton, on being
! reasoned with, might withdraw the express
sions that appeared to have given offence. Mr..
! Wilson moved that the resolutions be laid on
the table.
The Rev. Mr.. Wesley Starr spoke with
some warmth in vindcation of Conference,
with reference to the matter of Brother Stock
| toms complaint. In the midst of this discus
sion, several members, as well as Mr.. Starr,
deprecated the final adjournment of Confe-
renee, until the question then before that body
was fully discussed.
The morning session closed with fervent
prayer for the unity and peace of the Church
by the Rev. Wesley Starr.
