THE lCgrH0DDsT CHURCH

A strong effort is making to introduce the
Democratic element into the organization Of
this body of Christians. A Convention was
held in Philadelphia on the Sd inst, which
chose Prof w. II. Allen, of Girsrd College
President
aThe President ON taking his seat. thanked
the Convention for the honor conferred ON him.
and said his heart was in this movement. Thew
had met not to produce dissenson or disturb
the church, but to promote its good IL was
well known that the laity have no voice in her
counsels and it was full time that this barrier
10 the church's progress should be removed
syohn Whitman, of the committee on resolu.
tons, submitted preamble and resolutions.
which were adopted, to the effect that the Con.
vention, in its deliberate judgment. considers
that the constitution Of the church ought TO be
so amended as TO admit lay delegates in the
general and annual conferences, under such
restrictions as not to conflict with the rights of
the clergy in their appropriate duties, but the
Convention hereby petitions the General Con-
ference to give the subject serious attention.
and b 30 modify the discipline of the church
as to secure to the laity a voice in her councils
"1he resolutions also suggest that every
circuit be allowed annually, at the last quar-
terly conference to elect one lay delegate for
every effective minister in full connection whom
such circuits support Such delegates. by no
tice of their Office, are to be members of the
annual conferences and to meet the clergy at
such times as they may appoint to elect dele
gates, clerical and lay to the general con-
ference
9 The expenses Of all delegates are to be
paid rs at present so that the poorest members
of the church may have an equal chance to be
heard with the wealthy
The Convention appointed the following COM
mittee to attend the General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, to be held in Bos-
ton, and lay before it their proceedings in favor
of lay delegates:
