ADDRESS OF BISHOP WILLIAM QUINN-to the
Members of the Conference of the African
NJ E. Church-whch is now in session in
this city.
Beloved and esteemed brethren On open
ing this Annual Conference, feel it my duty
to remind you of that peculiar and distinguish
ing Providence, which has proracled rlves
continued our health, and again brought us
together in the capacity of another Annual
Conference, which calls for devout gratitude, in
creased humility and cheerful praises That we
are under renewed obligations to the Divine
Head Of the church for that manifest taken Of
His presence, in the church, by the spirit-as
seen IN the love and unity among the body of
Christ, in this city, and in the community at
large; that the subjects which will come be-
fore conference for discussion and legislation,
should be approached with that sacred dignity
BETTING Legislators, who, in the Providence of
God, are called to egislate for the temporal
these subjects, when disposed of by the confe-
renee, will carry upon their face, to the in
spection Of the thinking world, the impress of
ignorance or wisdom, in exact proportion to
the impression made by the hand of the legis-
lators. II the impression should be given in
deep and legibe lines of wisdom and inelli
gence, this, OF itself, will produce an effect
which nothing else can. But if, on The other
hand, the impression should be drawn upon
the face of our legislation. with weak and
feeble hand, the lines indistinct and un,racea-
Bile, i, will tell the plain story, Of want of in
tellectual capaclty-wisdom or judgment.
That the former might be the case and the
latter avoided-the Rev. Bishop concluded his
impressive remarks, by ferventIy praying, that
the Spirit God might enlighten our minds
strengthen our ludgments-and direct us, in
all our deliber ations.
The Columbian fountain., 1846-04-22

Yesterday the weather was unusually warm
and oppressive. In spite, however, OF repeat
ed cautions, many persons were observed
drinking copiously of cold water while in a
state OF persplratlon. Bathing the wrists and
temples in water before drinking will lessen
the danger. If persons will drink cold liquids
when the body.is heated, they ought, at all
events, to continue in exercise.
