ExeieaG 81 IN EpsscOpof The speaker here iar'nel
urged the necessity Of specify choosing suec-scr

and inward peace, and union an purity that proves
our Church 10 be catholic and the Roman TO DC scas-
matte let take care that no efforts De spared' no
proper left unapplied to preserve tnal eho9ul
aging relation. The Rev. speaker next sdverIed 10

ence and warmly recommended its frequent perusa.-
He complained Of the wan, Of organization TO when
in some measure might be attributed tue shor'-cou-

said, was dropped By the Church Of England al me
tine Of the Reformation in competence With popular
passion. But frequently since then has thar act been
regretted Wesley with his companions was follow

churches which widely sgtated, the Kew
speaker said Let Us do all the good We cAn IN our
own as il is Let endeavOr TO bind closer the ties
between pastors and people, and perform the weghty
functions which here cevolye upon rs IN meek,
brotherly and loving spirit.

jealous and devoted head has bowed down all our
hearts in sorrow, anguish and trembling solictude-I
feel that in the courtesy extended to the dstnc-

choosing me to preside over your present delbera-
tions, you have called to office which has just
been vacated by one whose efficient discharge OF its
duties in experimenting the business Of the Conven-

toward its members had insured him very much to

warmly to your judgments therefore thank you
heartily, most heartily for the honor you have ust
conferred on me.
