Methodist Church, North.

We clip the following from the proceedings of the
Methodist Episcopal General Conference, South
"Atter the formal adjournment on Monday Bishop
Soule requested the members to tarry few minutes
Dr. Wnans then read an expression of his feelings and
that of many of his BRETHREN who had passed through
the bounds of portion of the Northern church, for
the very kind and aectionate treatment they had re-
ceved from their northern brethren on their way to this
city, 1t expresses the hope that although separation
has taken place, whenever Southern BROTHER in the
providence of Gods shall be called to visit northern
city or place where there is Methodist pulpit he may
find it open to his ministry, and assuring the Northern
brethren that the like Christian courtesy shall always
be extended to them. The document was unanimous
ly adopted and ordered to be signed by committee of
the Conference"

The Protestant Methodist General Conference late
ly in session at Cincinnati passed the following reso-
luton on the subject of Slavery;
" Resolved, that inthe judgement of the General
Conference tie holding Of slaves is in many circum.
stances sin against God and in such cases should be
condemned by the NJ. P. Church; nevertheless it is
our opinion that under some circumstances it is not
sinful. This General Confidence does not feel author
lied by the constitution to legislate on the subject of
slavery and by solemn vote present to the church
our judgement that the different annual Conferences
respectively should make their regulations on the
subject SO far as authorised by the constitution"

LETTER OF GEN. FLETCHER.

PRoCToRsvILLE, May 80, 1916.
Mr. Poianl-D21r SRI find that cannot conss-
ten y attend the Convention the 3D. and 4th OF june
and it is to matter of deep regret 10 the great
object for the promotion of which the convention meet
feel devoted for life. The anti slavery enterprise
hold to be of Gods nstrumentalities for the re-
covery of perishing, degraded men. 1t is based on
Christian principles, enforced by high Christian motives,
and is adapted, when its friends use the appropriate
MEANS to produce the most grand glorious results.
As must be denied the happiness of minglng with
those for whom cherish the highest regard in the de-
alterations ofhe convention, beg you to accept the
assurance that the is cnshrned in the warmest
and best affections of my heart. Permit me to express
my wishes in relation to to the convention in which
feel lively interest hope that all who may bear
part in the convention will be deeply impressed with
the one" great 'dea,' the abolition of slavery which
is synonymous with the salvation Of our county,
that their faith will not be feeble and wavering nor
their zeal langud tfu but that they will exhibit an
earnest devoted conservation to the cause, and that
every heart will be deeply imbucd with true phlan-
thropy and benevoenCe and all the deliberations
tire in one great oblect-human freedom. hope thlt
the claims of humanity will be asserted with such force
that no sophisry can elude, no conscience resist nc
bosom brave the attack The convention, trust, will
not oppose sin under the universal name of moral eUH-
mere abstracton-but as something associated witt
a moral agent and developed in human action. My
prayer is that the friends of Freedom in Vermont may
come up to the annual gathering in the spirit of Hin
who came " to preach deverence to the captives, ant
to set at liberty them that are brused" that they will
contemplate, with Christian sympathy the condition
of our wronged and bleeding brethren, sitting in the
dust, mantled with the pail of slavery May they de-
wise plans, and form resolves, with vgor and scope
commensurate with the greatness of the undertaking
which devoyes upon them; may they rightly estimate
the task to be performed the evils to be removed the
obstacles to be encountered and may all the true low
ers of Liberty, who may not participate in the dong
of the convention, heartily cooperate in carrying on
the resolutions and measures that may be proposed
and all the Liberty party adopt the sentiment that
"No motto is better, in all sorts of weather,
Than long pull, strong pull and pull altogether
